Alamo Group reports Q3 adjusted EPS 2.34, consensus $2.64

Reports Q3 revenue $420M, consensus $407.55M. Robert Hureau, Alamo Group’s (ALG) President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “The Company’s third quarter results were mixed. The Industrial Equipment Division continued to perform exceptionally well, delivering strong year-over-year double digit net sales growth for the seventh consecutive quarter. While Industrial Equipment orders fluctuate from quarter to quarter, year-to-date bookings in the division reflect modest growth and backlog levels remain healthy. In contrast, the Vegetation Management Division continued to experience softness in its end markets, however, bookings in the division slightly improved. Operationally, in the Vegetation Management Division we have consolidated facilities in an effort to reduce fixed costs and improve manufacturing throughput and materials management. To date, we have realized the fixed cost savings. While productivity improvements are tracking more slowly than anticipated, we are advancing our operational initiatives and expect further benefits in the coming quarters.”
