TITAN MACHINERY INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 -      BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements for the Company for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through stores in the United States and Europe. The Company’s North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, initial valuation and impairment analyses of intangible assets, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash, receivables, payables, short-term debt and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity and/or frequent repricing of those instruments, which are Level 2 fair value inputs.

 

The Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet in the amounts of $0.3 million included in prepaid expenses and other as of October 31, 2013, and $0.1 million included

Table of Contents

 

in accrued expenses as of January 31, 2013. In addition, as of October 31, 2013, the Company had an interest rate swap instrument recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet as accrued expenses in the amount of $1.3 million. In all instances, fair value was estimated based on Level 2 inputs which include observable, market-based pricing components.

 

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013. Fair value was estimated based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. The fair value of senior convertible notes was approximately $132.3 million and $152.8 million as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. The face value of senior convertible notes was $150.0 million as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013. The carrying value of senior convertible notes was approximately $128.1 million and $125.7 million as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. The difference between the face value and the carrying value of these notes is the result of the allocation between the debt and equity components. Fair value of the senior convertible notes was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.

 

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

 

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic EPS were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted EPS were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted EPS. There were approximately 99,000 and 99,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. There were approximately 99,000 and 10,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. None of the approximately 3,474,000 shares underlying the Company’s senior convertible notes were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company’s average stock price was less than the conversion price of $43.17.

 

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

NOTE 4 -      LINES OF CREDIT / FLOORPLAN NOTES PAYABLE

 

Working Capital Line of Credit

 

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had a $75.0 million working capital line of credit under an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The Company had $42.4 million and $7.1 million outstanding on its working capital line of credit as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. Amounts outstanding are recorded as long-term debt, within long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company does not have an obligation to repay amounts borrowed within one year.

 

Floorplan Lines of Credit

 

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment inventory purchases totaling approximately $1.05 billion with various lending institutions, including $375.0 million under the aforementioned credit agreement with Wells Fargo, a $450.0 million credit agreement with CNH Capital America LLC (“CNH Capital”) and a $225.0 million credit agreement with Agricredit Acceptance LLC. Floorplan notes payable relating to these credit agreements totaled approximately $802.6 million of the total floorplan notes payable balance of $937.2 million outstanding as of October 31, 2013 and $629.8 million of the total floorplan notes payable balance of $689.4 million outstanding as of January 31, 2013. As of October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $160.1 million in available borrowings remaining under these lines of credit (net of adjustments based on borrowing base calculations and standby letters of credit under the aforementioned Wells Fargo credit agreement, and rental fleet financing and other acquisition-related financing arrangements under the CNH Capital credit agreement). These floorplan notes carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.79% to 7.25% as of October 31, 2013, subject to interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital. As of October 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all floorplan financial covenants.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, the Company recognized coupon interest expense of $4.2 million, and non-cash interest expense of $2.4 million related to the amortization of the debt discount and $0.4 million related to the amortization of the liability-allocated transaction costs. For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, the Company recognized coupon interest expense of $2.9 million, and non-cash interest expense of $1.6 million related to the amortization of the debt discount and $0.2 million related to the amortization of the liability-allocated transaction costs. The effective interest rate of the liability component was equal to 7.00% for the period ended October 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 6 -      DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

On October 9, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap instrument which has a notional amount of $100.0 million dollars, an effective date of September 30, 2014 and a maturity date of September 30, 2018. The objective of the instrument is to, beginning on September 30, 2014, protect the Company from changes in benchmark interest rates to which the Company is exposed through certain of its variable interest rate credit facilities. The instrument provides for a fixed interest rate of 1.901% up to the maturity date.

 

The instrument has been designated as a cash flow hedging instrument and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instrument are recorded in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period in which the related hedged item affects earnings or the anticipated underlying hedged transactions are no longer probable of occurring. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.

 

Net Investment Hedges

 

To protect the value of the Company’s investments in its foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may, from time to time, hedge a portion of its net investment in one or more of its foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses on derivative instruments that are designated and effective as a net investment hedge are

 

12



Table of Contents

 

included in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.

 

The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was approximately $23.4 million as of October 31, 2013. There were no foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges outstanding as of January 31, 2013.

 

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

 

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on outstanding intercompany loans. The Company does not formally designate and document such derivative instruments as hedging instruments; however, the instruments are an effective economic hedge of the underlying foreign currency exposure. Both the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying intercompany loan are recognized in earnings immediately, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income.

 

The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments was approximately $48.8 million and $4.0 million as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 7 -      BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

The Company continued to implement its strategy of consolidating dealerships in desired market areas. Below is a summary of the acquisitions completed for the nine months ended October 31, 2013. In certain of the business combination transactions the Company recognized goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill include an evaluation of future and historical financial performance, the value of the workforce acquired and proximity to other existing and future planned Company locations. Pro forma results are not presented as the acquisitions are not considered material, individually or in aggregate, to the Company. The results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the date of each respective business combination.

 

On February 16, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of Tucson Tractor Company. The acquired entity consisted of one construction equipment store in Tucson, Arizona which is contiguous to the Company’s existing locations in Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona and expands the Company’s construction presence in Arizona. The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred for the store was $4.1 million.

Table of Contents

 

On March 1, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of Adobe CE, LLC. The acquired entity consisted of one construction equipment store in Albuquerque, New Mexico and expands the Company’s presence into New Mexico. The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred for the store was $1.2 million.

 

As of January 31, 2013, the final valuation of the intangible assets acquired in the Toner’s, Inc. acquisition consummated on November 1, 2012 was not complete. As a result, the recorded intangible asset values were based on provisional estimates of fair value. The valuation of such assets was completed during the period ended April 30, 2013 and resulted in a $0.1 million decrease in the value of the distribution rights, a $0.2 million decrease in the value of customer relationships and a $0.3 million increase in the value of goodwill arising from the acquisition. The comparative information as of January 31, 2013 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the final values assigned to each of the intangible assets.

 

The allocations of the purchase prices in the above business combinations are presented in the following table. The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired are provisional estimates which are subject to change upon completion of the final valuation.

NOTE 8 -      SEGMENT INFORMATION AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

The Company owns and operates a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States and Europe. During the three months ended April 30, 2013, the Company determined that its International operations were a separate reportable segment. Thus, the financial information for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012 and as of January 31, 2013 has been reclassified for comparability with current year presentation. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and International. The Company’s segments are organized based on types of products sold and geographic areas, as described in the following paragraphs. The operating results for each segment are reported separately to the Company’s senior management to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, to assess the Company’s operating performance and to make strategic decisions.

NOTE 9 -      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In November 2013, the Company modified its credit facility with Wells Fargo to increase its working capital line of credit from $75.0 million to $112.5 million, decrease its floorplan line of credit from $375.0 million to $350.0 million, extend the expiration date of the agreement from March 30, 2016 to August 31, 2018, and adjust certain financial covenants. Other terms of the agreement did not materially change.

 

The Company plans to close two Construction stores prior to January 31, 2014. The store in Big Sky, Montana and one of the stores in Billings, Montana will be merged with the Company’s nearby Construction stores. The Company expects the primary cost of closing these locations to be estimated lease termination costs, and will record a liability for the net present value of any remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, at the date we cease using the property, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. We expect the accrual of these costs to be approximately $0.5 million.

ITEM 2.                        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, except as noted below.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

We currently have $6.4 million of goodwill and $2.8 million of indefinite-lived distribution rights recorded on our balance sheet related to reporting units within our Construction and International segments. Both of these segments generated pretax losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and for the nine months ended October 31, 2013, due to the various factors described in the following Results of Operations section in this Form 10-Q. If pretax income (loss) of the respective reporting units does not improve in accordance with our projections, the reductions in anticipated cash flows from these reporting units may indicate that the fair value is less than the book value, resulting in an impairment of some or all of the related goodwill and indefinite-lived distribution rights, along with a corresponding non-cash charge against earnings.

 

Overview

 

We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States and Europe. Based upon information provided to us by CNH Industrial N.V. or its U.S. subsidiary CNH America, LLC, we are the largest retail dealer of Case IH Agriculture equipment in the world, the largest retail dealer of Case Construction equipment in North America and a major retail dealer of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We operate our business through three reportable segments, Agriculture, Construction and International. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, service, and equipment rental and other activities.

 

Our net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders was $5.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the three months ended October 31, 2013, compared to $13.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the three months ended October 31, 2012. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:

 

·                  Revenue remained relatively consistent for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the third quarter last year, reflecting increase in revenue due to acquisitions, primarily offset by a decrease in same-store sales in our Agriculture segment;

 

·                  Total gross profit decreased primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin on equipment in our Agriculture and Construction segments and rental and other in our Construction segment. Total gross profit margin decreased to 15.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 16.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily caused by decreases in the gross profit margin on equipment and rental and other, and offset by the positive effects of a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service business;

 

·                  Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 12.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 11.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales and additional expenses associated with acquired stores and expanding our distribution network; and

 

·                  Floorplan interest expense increased primarily due to the increase in floorplan notes payable, as compared to the third quarter last year.

Results of Operations

 

Comparative financial data for each of our four sources of revenue are expressed below. The results for these periods include the operating results of the acquisitions made during these periods. The period-to-period comparisons included below are not necessarily indicative of future results. Segment information is provided later in this discussion and analysis of our results of operations.

 

Same-store sales for any period represent sales by stores that were part of the Company for the entire comparable periods in the current and preceding fiscal years. We do not distinguish relocated or newly-expanded stores in this same-store analysis. Closed stores are excluded from the same-store analysis. Stores that do not meet the criteria for same-store classification are described as acquisition stores throughout the Results of Operations section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The increase in revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same period last year, was due to acquisitions contributing $32.2 million, offset by a decrease in same-store sales of $26.4 million. This decrease in same-store sales reflected a 4.5% decrease over the prior year period and was primarily driven by lower equipment revenue. The decrease in equipment revenue was mainly caused by challenging industry conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices, increased agriculture equipment prices, and continued difficult conditions in the construction industry. Our Agriculture and International segments had lower same-store sales compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily driven by challenging industry conditions in each of these segments, while our Construction segment had growth in same-store sales over the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

The $0.5 million decrease in gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to decreases in the gross profit on equipment and rental and other. The decrease in equipment gross profit was due to both a decrease in equipment sales and in gross profit margin, which were primarily caused by the previously discussed industry challenges. The decrease in rental and other gross profit was mainly caused by a lower gross profit margin, which was impacted by a decrease in the dollar utilization of our rental fleet to 37.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 41.4% in the same period last year. Total gross profit margin decreased to 15.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 16.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily caused by the decreases in the gross profit margin on equipment and rental and other, and offset by the positive effects of a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service business.

The $11.1 million increase in operating expenses, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the additional costs associated with acquisitions and expanding our distribution network, such as compensation, rent and depreciation. As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses increased to 12.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 11.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily caused by the decrease in Agriculture same-store sales, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs, the Construction stores acquired in fiscal year 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and other ongoing costs of building an expanded Construction and International distribution network in these two segments. Most of the recently acquired Construction stores are currently operating at a higher operating expense ratio than our average Construction store, as they are underperforming in regards to revenue levels in the markets in which they are located.

Agriculture

 

Agriculture segment revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased 4.1% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to an Agriculture same-store sales decrease of 6.5% over the third quarter of fiscal 2013, which was partially offset by revenue from acquisitions. The decrease in same-store sales primarily resulted from challenging agriculture conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices combined with increased equipment retail prices, which negatively impacted customer sentiment in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increased prices primarily related to higher costs on late-model equipment with Tier 4A engine emission technology, in advance of the introduction of equipment with Tier 4B technology.

 

Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased 32.9% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit on equipment and an increase in operating expenses. The decrease in equipment gross profit was due to both a decrease in equipment sales and in gross profit margin, primarily caused by the previously discussed industry conditions and pressure on used equipment values. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was caused by the decrease in Agriculture segment same-store sales, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs.

 

Construction

 

Construction segment revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 15.8% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and a Construction same-store sales increase of 6.4% over the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to segment income before income taxes of $0.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin on equipment and rental and other, an increase in operating expenses and an increase in other interest expense, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in equipment gross profit margin was negatively impacted by the continued difficult Construction industry conditions. The decrease in gross profit margin on rental and other is mainly due to a decrease in the dollar utilization of our rental fleet to 37.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 41.4% in the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to our recently acquired Construction stores and other ongoing costs of building an expanded distribution network. Most of the Construction stores acquired in fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014 are currently operating at a higher operating expense ratio than our average Construction store, as they are underperforming in regards to revenue levels in the markets in which they are located. The increase in other interest expense resulted from higher long-term debt associated with our rental fleet, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

International

 

International segment revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $12.0 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to acquisitions and new store openings, and offset by a same-store sales decrease of 6.9%. The decrease in same-store sales mainly resulted from decreases in agricultural commodity prices, which negatively impacted customer sentiment and profitability in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Our International segment loss before income taxes was $1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to segment income before income taxes of $1.4 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margins on equipment, which was negatively impacted by the decrease in commodity prices noted above, and increases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense, which mainly reflect costs of building our recently expanded footprint in Eastern Europe, including establishment of an operations center to support our European stores.

 

Shared Resources/Eliminations

 

We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, unallocated balances may occur.

 

Eliminations remove any inter-company revenue or income (loss) before income taxes residing in our segment results.

The increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2014, as compared to the same period last year, was due to acquisitions contributing $126.9 million and offset by a decrease in same-store sales of $23.0 million. This decrease in same-store sales reflected a 1.7% decrease over the prior year period and was primarily driven by equipment revenue. The decrease in equipment revenue was mainly caused by challenging industry conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices, increased agriculture equipment prices, and continued difficult conditions in the construction industry. Our Agriculture and Construction segments had lower same-store sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by challenging industry conditions in each of these segments, while our International segment had growth in same-store sales over the comparable period of the prior year.

The $16.3 million increase in gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to increased revenue. Acquisitions contributed $18.4 million to the increase in gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2014, which was offset by a decrease in same-store gross profit of $2.1 million. Total gross profit margin remained relatively consistent at 16.5% and 16.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, primarily caused by decreases in the gross profit margin on equipment, and offset by the positive effects of a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service business. The decrease in equipment gross profit margin was negatively impacted by the industry conditions in each of our segments.

The $38.8 million increase in operating expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the additional costs associated with acquisitions and expanding our distribution network, such as compensation, rent, travel and depreciation. As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses increased to 14.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to 12.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was caused by the decrease in same-store sales, which negatively affected our ability to leverage fixed operating costs, the Construction stores acquired in fiscal year 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and other ongoing costs of building an expanded Construction and International distribution network in these two segments. Most of the recently acquired Construction stores are currently operating at a higher operating expense ratio than our average Construction store, as they are underperforming in regards to revenue levels in the markets in which they are located.

Agriculture

 

Agriculture segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased 3.5% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and offset by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales of 1.5% over the first nine months of 2013, which primarily resulted from challenging agriculture conditions such as the abnormally delayed spring weather, decreases in agricultural commodity prices, lower projected crop yields in the areas in which the Company operates, relative to crop yields in other parts of the United States, and increased equipment retail prices, which negatively impacted customer sentiment in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increased prices primarily related to higher costs on late-model equipment with Tier 4A engine emission technology, in advance of the introduction of equipment with Tier 4B technology.

 

Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 decreased 30.5% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin on equipment, an increase in operating expenses and an increase in floorplan interest expense. The gross profit margin on equipment was negatively impacted by the previously discussed industry conditions and pressure on used equipment values. The increase in operating expense as a percentage of revenue was caused by the decrease in Agriculture segment same-store sales, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs. The increase in floorplan interest expense is primarily due to higher floorplan notes payable balances than in the same period last year.

 

Construction

 

Construction segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased 7.0% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions, offset by a Construction same-store sales decrease of 4.3% over the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The decrease in same-store sales was negatively impacted by continued difficult Construction industry conditions.

 

Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $11.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to segment income before income taxes of $0.8 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit on equipment, lower gross profit margin on rental and other, an increase in operating expenses and an increase in floorplan interest expense and other interest expense, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Equipment gross profit margin has experienced compression due to the previously discussed challenging industry conditions. The decrease in gross profit margin on rental and other is primarily due to a decrease in the dollar utilization of our rental fleet to 31.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, from 32.8% in the same period last year. The increase in operating expense as a percentage of revenue was caused by the decrease in segment same-store sales, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs, our recently acquired Construction stores and other ongoing costs of building an expanded distribution network. The Construction stores acquired in fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014 are currently operating at a higher operating expense ratio than our average Construction store, as they are underperforming in regards to

revenue levels in the markets in which they are located. The increase in floorplan interest expense and other interest expense resulted from higher floorplan notes payable and long-term debt associated with our rental fleet, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

International

 

International segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased $54.1 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to acquisitions and new store openings, and a same-store sale increase of 14.8%.

 

Our International segment loss before income taxes was $1.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to segment income before income taxes of $1.4 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margins on equipment and increases in operating expenses, floorplan interest expense and other interest expense. Equipment gross profit margin was negatively impacted by decreases in agricultural commodity prices, which negatively impacted customer sentiment and profitability in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases in operating expenses, floorplan interest expense and other interest expense, primarily reflect costs of building our recently expanded footprint in Eastern Europe, including establishment of an operations center to support our European stores.

 

Shared Resources/Eliminations

 

We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, unallocated balances may occur.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Used For Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, cash used for operating activities was $107.4 million. Our cash used for operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $287.4 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in floorplan notes payable of $151.1 million, our reported net income including noncontrolling interest before non-cash charges of $36.0 million. The increase in inventories primarily reflects lower than expected equipment sales in the nine months ended October 31, 2013, new equipment stocking to support our seasonally higher sales in the last quarter of the fiscal year and the building of inventory to support our expanded International operations. We expect equipment inventory, excluding acquisitions, to decrease during the last quarter of fiscal 2014. We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity. Taking this adjustment into account, our non-GAAP cash flow used for operating activities was $12.0 million and $32.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation below.

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, cash used for operating activities was $172.7 million. Our cash used for operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $297.9 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities of $19.8 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in floorplan notes payable of $103.0 million and our reported net income including noncontrolling interest before non-cash charges of $47.6 million. The increase in inventories primarily reflected new equipment stocking to support forecasted equipment sales.

 

Cash Flow Used For Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, cash used for investing activities was $11.0 million. Our cash flow used for investing activities primarily consisted of property and equipment purchases (excluding rental fleet) of $15.8 million and purchases of equipment dealerships (net of cash purchased) of $4.8 million. This amount was principally offset by net proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $10.6 million.

 

27



Table of Contents

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, cash used for investing activities was $47.9 million. Our cash used for investing activities primarily consisted of purchases of equipment dealerships (net of cash purchased) of $16.2 million, purchases of rental fleet of $15.0 million and purchases of property and equipment (excluding rental fleet) of $20.7 million.

 

Cash Flow Provided By Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $107.4 million. Our cash flow provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable of $95.3 million and proceeds from long-term debt exceeding principal payments on long-term debt by $12.2 million.

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $257.3 million. Our cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of proceeds from our Senior Convertible Notes offering of $145.2 million and an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable of $118.7 million, offset by principal payments exceeding proceeds from long-term debt by $8.9 million. We used the proceeds from our Senior Convertible Notes to reduce certain interest-bearing floorplan notes payable and long-term debt balances.

 

Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation

 

We consider our cash flow from operating activities to include all equipment inventory financing activity regardless of whether we obtain the financing from a manufacturer or other source. We consider equipment inventory financing with both manufacturers and other sources to be part of the normal operations of our business and use the adjusted cash flow analysis in the evaluation of our equipment inventory and inventory flooring needs. Non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities is a non-GAAP financial measure which is adjusted for the following:

 

·                  Non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable: The adjustment is equal to the net change in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable, as shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. GAAP categorizes non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

·                  Impact of senior convertible notes: We issued $150.0 million of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in April 2012. We used a significant amount of the proceeds from the Convertible Notes to reduce our floorplan notes payable balances, resulting in a higher level of equity in our equipment inventory than we have historically maintained. To analyze the impact of this fluctuation of equity in our equipment inventory, we use this adjustment to maintain a constant level of equipment financing. The adjustment is equal to the difference between our actual equity in inventory at the balance sheet date and our historical average level of equity in inventory of 15%. If the level of equity in inventory is less than 15% then we assume that no proceeds of the Convertible Notes were used to pay down floorplan notes payable balances. GAAP categorizes proceeds from our Convertible Notes offering as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities is relevant and useful to our investors because it provides information on activities we consider normal operations of our business, regardless of financing source. The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used for) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) financing activities (in thousands):

Non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, other GAAP measures such as net cash provided by (used for) operating activities.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash flow from operations, proceeds from our public stock offerings, proceeds from the issuance of debt and our Convertible Notes, and borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital expenditures will be funded from these sources.

 

Adequacy of Capital Resources

 

Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our strategic acquisitions, finance the purchase of inventory, meet debt service requirements and fund operating activities, working capital, payments due under building space operating leases and manufacturer floorplan notes payable. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our existing credit facilities will adequately provide our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months.

 

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships. In the normal course of our business activities, we lease rental equipment and buildings under operating leases.

 

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Such “forward-looking” information is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations,” as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, and in other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company).

 

Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations and specifically include, among other things, all statements relating to our expectations regarding exchange rate and interest rate impact, equipment inventory levels, and our primary liquidity sources and adequacy of our capital resources. Any statements that are not based upon historical

Table of Contents

 

facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking statements. The words “potential,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, adverse market conditions in the agricultural and construction equipment industries, the continuation of unfavorable conditions in the credit markets and those matters identified and discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled “Risk Factors.”

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk: Exposure to changes in interest rates results from borrowing activities used to fund operations. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair value of financial instruments but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have both fixed and floating rate financing. Some of our floating rate credit facilities contain minimum rates of interest to be charged. Based upon balances and interest rates as of October 31, 2013, holding other variables constant, a one percentage point increase in interest rates for the next 12-month period would decrease pre-tax earnings and cash flow by approximately $5.5 million. Conversely, a one percentage point decrease in interest rates for the next 12-month period would result in an increase to pre-tax earnings and cash flow of approximately $5.5 million. At October 31, 2013, we had variable rate floorplan notes payable of $937.2 million, of which approximately $511.5 million was interest-bearing, variable notes payable and long-term debt of $42.4 million, and fixed rate notes payable and long-term debt of $53.2 million.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk:  Foreign currency exposures arise as the result of our foreign operations. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, as our net investment in our foreign operations is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company is exposed to the translation of foreign currency earnings to the U.S. dollar, whereby the results of our operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted by fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency transaction risk as the result of certain intercompany financing transactions. The Company attempts to manage its foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts. Based upon balances and exchange rates as of October 31, 2013, holding other variables constant, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)                                 Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. After evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the Company’s management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are effective.

 

(b)                                 Changes in internal controls. There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during its most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.             RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including the important information in “Private Securities Litigation Reform Act,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those factors, if they were to occur, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements in this report, and materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors, aside from those discussed in our Form 10-K, that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

ITEM 2.                UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On September 6, 2013, the Company issued 22,321 shares of its common stock in exchange for the purchase of 20% ownership interest in Titan Machinery Romania SRL and Titan Machinery Austria GmbH. We believe that this transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation S promulgated thereunder, based on the limited number of offerees in such offering and certain representations and warranties made by such offeree in the transaction.
