Customers
Toro sells to a broad mix of professional and consumer buyers. Professional customers include golf courses, sports fields, landscape contractors, municipalities, utilities, rental companies, and specialty contractors, while Residential customers include homeowners purchasing through retailers, dealers, and online channels. The company also serves distributors and large retailers that resell equipment to end users, which makes channel relationships central to demand and market access.

Strategy

The company is also focused on expanding its technology mix, including alternative power, smart connected, and autonomous solutions, while using acquisitions and productivity initiatives to strengthen its product portfolio and operating model.
A significant portion of sales comes from new and enhanced products, so innovation supports demand and channel relevance.
Professional markets offer broader commercial applications and can be expanded through product breadth and acquisitions.
Manufacturing efficiency and sourcing discipline help protect competitiveness in a tariff- and inflation-sensitive business.
Dealer, distributor, retailer, and rental relationships are central to market access and after-purchase support.
Geography
Toro sells products worldwide through a network that spans more than 125 countries, with the United States as its core market and Europe as an important competitive region. It also operates internationally through distributors and dealers, and it has manufacturing and distribution activity outside the U.S., including Canada through the Tornado Infrastructure Equipment acquisition. Foreign currency, local channel structure, and regional weather patterns all affect demand and competitiveness across markets.
Risks
Toro is exposed to cyclical demand in professional and residential outdoor equipment, weather-driven seasonality, and intense competition across both commercial and consumer channels. It also faces supply-chain disruption, tariff pressure, foreign exchange volatility, and integration risk from acquisitions, while accounting judgments around promotions, impairment, and hedging can materially affect reported results.
