"We are pleased with results for the quarter and first half of the year. Although our Equipment Group faced tough year-over-year comparators in mining, we delivered increased profitability reflecting our strong market position, diversity of industries served and growing contribution from product support. CIMCO achieved record revenues for a second quarter and first six months. Across all of our operations, execution remains strong and we are focused on cost control initiatives," said Scott J. Medhurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toromont Industries Ltd. "We continued to see stronger competitive conditions in equipment markets due to global excess inventories together with softness in certain market segments."
Highlights:
"The strength of product support and diversity of end-markets are encouraging for our performance; however, we are seeing continuing softness in certain market segments," continued Mr. Medhurst. "At CIMCO, recreational bookings recovered to more normal levels and the order backlog position bodes well for performance this year."
