Chief Executive Chris Nelson described the move as a method to unlock shareholder value by prioritizing growth in segments with the most significant potential. Excel Industries, which houses the well-known Hustler lawn mower brand, is currently tracking toward approximately $300 million in revenue for the current fiscal year.

The corporation anticipates the transition will not dilute adjusted earnings per share. Until the final close of the transaction, Excel’s financial performance will continue to be reported under the company's continuing operations. This sale follows a broader pattern of portfolio refinement intended to exit non-core business lines and improve overall operational agility.
