BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (December 8, 2025) – The Toro Company (NYSE: TTC) today announced that it has successfully completed its acquisition of publicly held Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Ltd. (TSX-V: TGH). Based in Calgary, Alberta, Tornado is a leading manufacturer in hydrovac excavation solutions for the underground construction, power transmission and energy markets.

Known for producing powerful, high-quality and versatile equipment designed to safely excavate in urban areas and around critical infrastructure, this acquisition complements The Toro Company’s innovative construction product portfolio and capitalizes on accelerated growth in vacuum excavation. With the addition of Tornado, alongside Ditch Witch and other leading underground construction brands, The Toro Company is strategically positioned to further its market reach and reinforce its leadership within the industry.

“The addition of Tornado significantly strengthens our leadership in underground and enables The Toro Company, along with our extensive portfolio of leading construction brands, to capture a greater share of the rapidly growing infrastructure space and deliver sustained value to our shareholders,” said Richard Olson, chairman and chief executive officer. “We have long regarded Tornado for their innovation in the marketplace, and we are pleased to welcome their talented team to The Toro Company and build on our continued success. We are confident that our combined commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and serving customers will further enhance our position in the industry.”

The purchase price was $279 million (CAD), which was financed with debt from existing credit facilities and additional financial arrangements. The transaction is expected to be neutral to adjusted earnings per share in the first year after closing and will be increasingly accretive thereafter. As previously communicated, the company expects to realize annual run-rate cost synergies of $3 million (USD) over three years through purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, there are revenue synergies and working capital improvements anticipated over time.

During the trailing 12 months ended September 30, 2025, Tornado generated net sales of approximately $161 million (CAD). The Toro Company expects to provide guidance regarding the anticipated contribution of the acquisition to its fiscal year 2026 financial results at the time of its fourth quarter earnings call, scheduled for December 17, 2025.

Tornado is a pioneer and leader in the vacuum truck industry and has been a choice of utility and oilfield professionals with over 1,900 hydrovacs sold since 2008. The Company designs and manufactures hydrovac trucks as well as provides heavy duty truck maintenance operations in central Alberta. It sells hydrovac trucks to excavation service providers in the infrastructure and industrial construction and oil and gas markets. Hydrovac trucks use high pressure water and vacuum to safely penetrate and cut soil to expose critical infrastructure for repair and installation without damage. Hydrovac excavation methods are quickly becoming a standard in North America to safely excavate in urban areas and around critical infrastructure greatly reducing infrastructure damage and related fatalities.
