Toro exceeded sales, earnings, and working capital target levels for its annual performance bonus and three-year performance share awards, which helped earn Hoffman an annual bonus that was 5.2 percent bigger than last year and $3.4 million from the performance-based restricted stock awards.
Bloomington-based Toro capped its centennial year with revenue of $2.173 billion and earnings per share of $3.02. In the last days of its fiscal year, it also announced the largest acquisition in its history, a $227 million deal for the Boss professional snow and ice management business from Northern Star Industries.
