Titan International Reports A Strong Second Quarter

Titan International, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"The positive momentum we have seen in our business kept on rolling this quarter and when combined with the continuing strong execution of our team, it resulted in excellent financial performance. As indicated by the updated full year 2022 guidance we released in June, we feel good about our business and our end-markets," stated Paul Reitz, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We experienced sales growth of 31% from the second quarter last year and sales grew sequentially 3% from the first quarter to the second quarter. More importantly, our margins were good, and we delivered adjusted EBITDA of $82 million in the second quarter. This performance was buoyed by strong financial performance across all parts of the business as our Titan team keeps running hard like a good, long-distance marathoner. 

"Perhaps the most important aspect of our performance is that we are generating significant cash flow and we have strengthened our financial position considerably. We generated $56 million in free cash flow in Q2, and our debt leverage fell below 2 times adjusted EBITDA, with expected further improvements in the second half of the year.  The strong financial performance over the past couple years, combined with significant improvements in our balance sheet and solid free cash flow now coming through means we are driving increased shareholder value.
