Current report
Benefit for Income Taxes
Current report
Europe segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 decreased 32.6% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower equipment demand compared to prior year period, which prior year period demand had been driven by a strong response to European Union stimulus programs in Romania. The wind-down of our German business, which was primarily completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, also contributed to the decrease in segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 in comparison to the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous wording
The U.S. federal government has imposed significant tariffs on imports from a broad range of countries. In response, some countries have enacted or are expected to enact retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports. Although the overall impact of these trade measures remains uncertain, we recognize the possibility of increases in the wholesale prices that we pay for our equipment and parts inventory. Higher wholesale prices could compress our margins if we are unable to fully pass on these cost increases to our retail customers. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs may negatively affect U.S. agricultural exports, which could have downstream effects on our core customer base in the farming sector. Some analysts have also cautioned that prolonged disruptions to global trade could increase the risk of broader macroeconomic challenges, including the possibility of a recession.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2027 from 16.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2026. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was due to lower revenue primarily related to the challenging agricultural industry conditions.

Our effective tax rate was 0.6% and 24.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate is subject to variation due to the impact of several items, mainly the mix of domestic and foreign income and the impact of the recognition of valuation allowance on our domestic and foreign deferred tax assets.

We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $4.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to $2.2 million for the same period last year.
