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 our Agriculture and Construction customers. Therefore, operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2012. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2011 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, 2011 as filed with the SEC.

 

Nature of Business

 

Titan Machinery Inc. is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction equipment through stores in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming and Wisconsin.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transportation Solutions, LLC. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, the carrying value of the long-term debt approximates the fair value as of July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011.

 

Exit and Disposal Costs

 

The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities, including store closures, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. Such costs mainly include lease termination costs and employee termination costs. We 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. Any subsequent adjustments to that liability as a result of lease termination or changes in estimates of sublease income are recorded in the period incurred. We record a liability for employee termination costs at the date the termination benefits were communicated to the employees.

Table of Contents

 

Upon acquiring ABC Rental & Equipment Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company decided that it would combine its existing location in Belgrade, Montana into its newly-acquired store in nearby Bozeman, Montana. This merger was completed in July 2011, with all of the Belgrade operations and employees moving to the Bozeman store location. Thus, the Belgrade store was closed as of July 31, 2011. The exit costs relate to lease termination. Estimated lease termination costs totaling $0.4 million for the Belgrade store and adjustments for a previously closed store are included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balance follows:

Recent Accounting Guidance

 

In May 2011, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The amended guidance results in common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements for financial statements reported under U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and change particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is applied prospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the impact that this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income, codified in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The amended guidance requires the presentation of the total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is applied retrospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the impact that this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Operating Line of Credit

 

As of July 31, 2011, the Company had a $50.0 million working capital line of credit under a Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Company had $26.4 million outstanding on its operating lines of credit as of July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. Amounts outstanding are recorded as long-term debt, within long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company does not have the intention or obligation to repay amounts borrowed within one year.

These floorplan notes carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.19% to 7.25% as of July 31, 2011, subject to interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital. As of July 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all floorplan financial covenants.

 

NOTE 4 -    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 six months ended July 31, 2011. In certain of the business combination transactions the Company recognized goodwill and separately identifiable intangible assets. Factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets include an evaluation of the historical financial performance, proximity to other existing and future planned Company locations, customer relationships and distribution territory. 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 results of operations since the date of each respective business combination.

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 1 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, 2011.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Policies, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011.

 

Overview

 

We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States. Based upon information provided to us by CNH Global N.V. or its U.S. subsidiary CNH America LLC, collectively referred to in this Form 10-K as CNH, we are the world’s largest retail dealer of Case IH Agriculture equipment and a major retail dealer of New Holland Agriculture, Case Construction and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We have two primary business segments, Agriculture and Construction, within each of which we sell and rent new and used equipment, sell parts, and service the equipment in the areas surrounding our stores.

 

Our net income was $6.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2010. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:

 

·                  Increase in revenue due to acquisitions and same-store sales growth in both our Agriculture and Construction segments primarily resulting from the continuation of a strong agriculture equipment market and improved construction equipment market in the region in which we do business;

 

·                  Increase in gross profit primarily due to increased revenue, and improvement in gross profit margin on service and rental and other;

 

·                  Decrease in floorplan interest expense due to our new Credit Agreement entered into on October 31, 2010.

The increase in revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2011, as compared to the same period last year, was due to acquisitions contributing $42.4 million and same-store sales growth contributing $58.8 million to current period revenue. This revenue growth was in both our Agriculture and Construction segments and resulted from the continuation of a strong agriculture equipment market and improved construction equipment market in the region in which we do business.

The $19.8 million increase in gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2011, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to increased revenue. Acquisitions contributed $9.2 million to the increase in gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2011, while increases in same-store gross profit contributed the remaining $10.6 million. The increase in gross profit margin from 17.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2010 to 18.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was primarily due to the increase in gross profit margin for service and rental and other. The increase in gross profit margin on rental and other is due to an increase in utilization of our rental fleet.

The $14.8 million increase in operating expenses, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the additional costs associated with acquisitions such as compensation, rent and depreciation. As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses increased slightly to 14.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to 13.9% for the three months ended July 31, 2010, reflecting higher expenses related to the Construction segment.

Agriculture

 

Agriculture segment revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased 46.7% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and an Agriculture same-store sales increase of 26.9% over the three months ended July 31, 2010. The same-store sales growth was positively impacted by a strong equipment market primarily caused by increased farm cash receipts for calendar year 2010 and anticipated strong farm cash receipts for calendar year 2011.

 

Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased 75.1% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher Agriculture segment revenue. Also contributing to the improvement in segment income before income taxes was a decrease in floorplan interest expense. This decrease resulted from our new Credit Agreement entered into on October 31, 2010, and we expect interest expense in fiscal 2012 to continue to be positively impacted by this new Credit Agreement.

 

Construction

 

Construction segment revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased 65.2% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and a Construction same-store sales increase of 34.6% over the three months ended July 31, 2010. The same-store sales growth was positively impacted by an improved construction equipment market in the region in which we do business and results from ongoing operational improvements.

 

The Construction segment earned segment income before income taxes of $0.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to a segment loss before income taxes of $0.9 million in the same period last year. This improvement was primarily caused by an increase in Construction segment revenue and increase in gross profit on rental and other, resulting from increased utilization of our rental fleet. Offsetting the positive effect of increased revenue and gross profit margin was $0.4 million in exit costs primarily related to the closing of our store in Belgrade, Montana.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2011, our cash used for operating activities was $76.9 million. Our cash used for operating activities was primarily the result of our reported net income of $13.6 million and an add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization of $6.1 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in net cash for inventories of $99.6 million. The increase in inventories primarily reflects new equipment stocking to support forecasted higher equipment sales in the second half of our fiscal year. We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit. Taking these adjustments into account, our non-GAAP cash flow used for operating activities was $3.0 million as of July 31, 2011. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation section below.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2010, our cash used for operating activities was $30.2 million. Our cash used for operating activities was primarily the result of our reported net income of $4.3 million and an add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in net cash used for inventories of $28.3 million, a net increase in receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets of $6.8 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities of $4.9 million. The increase in inventories primarily reflected new equipment purchases to support future sales. We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit. Taking these adjustments into account, our non-GAAP cash flow used for operating activities was $7.1 million as of July 31, 2010. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation section below.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2011, cash used for investing activities was $35.0 million. Our cash used for investing activities primarily consisted of purchases of equipment dealerships (net of cash purchased) of $27.1 million and purchases of property and equipment of $8.5 million.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2010, cash used for investing activities was $8.5 million. Our cash used for investing activities primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $6.3 million and the purchases of equipment dealerships (net of cash purchased) of $2.4 million

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2011, cash provided by financing activities was $137.9 million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of $74.9 million in net proceeds from our follow-on offering and an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable of $74.2 million. This amount was principally offset by principal payments on our long-term debt of $11.2 million.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $24.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable of $23.4 million and proceeds from long-term debt borrowings exceeding principal payments on long-term debt by $0.8 million.

·                  Non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable: We review our cash flow from operating activities to include all floorplan notes payable activity regardless of whether we obtain the financing from a manufacturer or a non-manufacturer. We consider inventory financing with both manufacturers and non-manufacturers to be part of the normal operations of our business and use the adjusted cash flow analysis in the evaluation of our inventory and inventory flooring needs. GAAP categorizes non-manufacturer floorplan payable as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

·                  Short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit: We review our cash flow from operating activities to include short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit. These advances are directly related to our contracts in transit and are considered part of our working capital. GAAP categorizes short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

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 as of July 31, 2011 and 2010 and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) financing activities as of July 31, 2011 and 2010:

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 the issuance of debt and equity, 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 the 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, 2011, 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 store consolidation, inventory levels, interest expense, agriculture market conditions, our primary liquidity sources and adequacy of our capital resources. Any statements that are not based upon historical 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 market risk from changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates. 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 value but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have both fixed and floating rate financing.

 

Based upon balances and interest rates as of July 31, 2011, 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 $2.5 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 $2.5 million. At July 31, 2011, we had variable rate floorplan notes payable of $494.9 million, of which approximately $217.9 million was interest-bearing, variable notes payable and long-term debt of $28.5 million, and fixed rate notes payable and long-term debt of $7.2 million.

 

Our policy is not to enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

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.

 

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.                                                     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

 

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, 2011 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 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.
