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 six -month period ended July 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2017 . The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2016 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC.

The Company is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through its 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 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.
In June 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding ownership interest held by the non-controlling interest holder of the Company's Bulgarian subsidiary. Total consideration, which amounted to $4.3 million , was in the form of the satisfaction of outstanding receivables owed to the Company by the noncontrolling interest holder. As the Company had a controlling interest in the Bulgarian subsidiary prior to the acquisition, the acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction which resulted in a decrease in the Company's additional paid-in capital in the amount of $3.7 million and a decrease in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income in the amount of $0.2 million . Subsequent to this acquisition, all of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
Earnings (Loss) 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 (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income (loss) 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 (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential

8


dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted EPS. All anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the denominator for basic and diluted EPS:

Recent Accounting Guidance
In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance has been amended on various occasions and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2018, and will employ one of the two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and provide related footnote disclosures, codified in ASC 205-40, Going Concern . The guidance provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The Company will adopt this guidance for the year-ended January 31, 2017, and it will apply to each interim and annual period thereafter. Its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on accounting for the measurement of inventory, codified in ASC 330, Inventory. The amended guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2017. Under the current guidance for measuring inventory, the Company recognizes lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments using a definition of market value as net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin. Upon implementation of the new authoritative guidance, market is defined solely as net realizable value. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842, Leases. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach,

9


with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on stock-based compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amended guidance changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2017. The manner of application varies by the various provisions of the guidance, with certain provisions applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach, while others are applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4—LINES OF CREDIT / FLOORPLAN PAYABLE
Floorplan Lines of Credit
Floorplan payable balances reflect the amount owed for new equipment inventory purchased from a manufacturer and for used equipment inventory, which is primarily acquired through trade-in on equipment sales. Certain of the manufacturers from which the Company purchases new equipment inventory offer financing on these purchases, either offered directly from the manufacturer or through the manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries. CNH Industrial America LLC's captive finance subsidiary, CNH Industrial Capital America LLC ("CNH Industrial Capital"), also provides financing of used equipment inventory. The Company also has floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders for new and used equipment inventory. Cash flows associated with manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as operating cash flows while cash flows associated with non-manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as financing cash flows in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company has three significant floorplan lines of credit for U.S. operations, credit facilities related to its foreign subsidiaries, and other floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders and manufacturers other than CNH Industrial.
As of July 31, 2016 , the Company had discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment inventory purchases totaling approximately $1.0 billion , which includes a $275.0 million Floorplan Line with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $110.0 million credit facility with

10


DLL Finance LLC ("DLL Finance") and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $118.5 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $417.7 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $430.8 million outstanding as of July 31, 2016 and $420.7 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $444.8 million outstanding as of January 31, 2016 ; the remaining outstanding balances relate to equipment inventory financing from manufacturers and non-manufacturer lenders other than the aforementioned lines of credit. As of July 31, 2016 , the interest-bearing U.S. floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.70% to 5.90% , and the foreign floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 1.50% to 7.70% .
Working Capital Revolver Line
As of July 31, 2016 , the Company had a $75 million Working Capital Revolver Line under the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo. The Company had no amount outstanding on this Working Capital Revolver Line as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016 .

As of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016 , the if-converted value of the Senior Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal balance. The effective interest rate of the liability component was equal to 7.3% for each of the statements of operations periods presented.

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.
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 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.
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 , 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 Company may, from time to time, hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from inventory purchases denominated in Canadian dollars through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with the Canadian dollar purchasing is less than 12 months.
The interest rate swap instrument and foreign currency contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period(s) 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.
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 following table sets forth the notional value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments.

The valuation for the Company's foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap derivative instruments were valued using discounted cash flow analyses, an income approach, utilizing readily observable market data as inputs.
The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. 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. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, which are Level 2 fair value inputs, the carrying value of long-term debt approximates the fair value as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016 , respectively. The following table provides details on the Senior Convertible Notes as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016 . 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, and unamortized debt issuance costs. Fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.

NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES
The Company incurs a provision for income taxes in jurisdictions in which it has taxable income. Generally the Company receives a benefit for income taxes in jurisdictions in which it has taxable losses unless it has recorded a valuation allowance for that jurisdiction. These losses are available to reduce future taxable income in these jurisdictions if earned within the allowable net operating loss carryforward period. The foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates have net operating loss carryforward periods ranging from five to seven years, with certain jurisdictions having indefinite carryforward periods.
The components of income (loss) before income taxes are as follows:

NOTE 11— SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As a result of our equipment inventory reduction and related reduction in floorplan financing needs, in August 2016, the Company provided notice to Wells Fargo of its election to reduce the maximum credit amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from an aggregate $350.0 million to an aggregate $275.0 million , comprised of a $65.0 million reduction in the Floorplan Payable Line, from $275.0 million to $210.0 million , and a $10.0 million reduction in the Working Capital Line, from $75.0 million to $65.0 million .  Also in August 2016, the Company elected to reduce the maximum credit amount available under its credit facility with DLL Finance, from $110.0 million to $90.0 million . As a result of these reductions, the Company’s total discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment purchases was reduced from approximately $1.0 billion to approximately $915.0 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 related 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, 2016 .
 
Realignment Costs
We recognized $0.3 million and $1.5 million in realignment costs during the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. To better align our cost structure and re-balance staffing levels with the evolving needs of the business, in March 2015, we approved a realignment plan that reduced our headcount by approximately 14% , which included headcount reductions at stores in each of our operating segments and our Shared Resource Center, as well as from the closing of three Agriculture stores and one Construction store. Our remaining stores in each of the respective areas assumed the distribution rights for the CNH Industrial brand previously held by the closed stores. See also the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for the impact of these costs on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.
Foreign Currency Remeasurement Losses
In February of 2014, the National Bank of Ukraine terminated the currency peg of the Ukrainian hryvnia ("UAH") to the USD; subsequent to the decoupling and as a result of the economic and political conditions present in the country, the UAH experienced significant devaluation from the date the currency peg was terminated through July 2015, and continued to experience more modest volatility through April 2016. We recognized foreign currency remeasurement losses resulting from a devaluation of the UAH totaling $0.1 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. These losses are included in interest income and other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. See also the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for impact of these costs on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.
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, 2016 .
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 Industrial 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.
The agriculture industry has been experiencing challenging conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices and net farm income, which, among other things, have a negative effect on customer sentiment and our customers' ability to secure financing for their equipment purchases. Changes in actual or anticipated net farm income generally have a direct correlation with agricultural equipment purchases by farmers. In August 2016, the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") published its U.S. farm financial indicators projections of a 12.9% decrease in net farm income from calendar year 2014 to 2015 and an additional 11.5% decrease in calendar year 2016. These industry conditions have negatively impacted our customer demand, resulting in decreased same-store sales and equipment revenue and an oversupply of equipment inventory in the agriculture industry in fiscal 2017 .
Certain of our Construction stores, particularly those in the northern and western parts of our footprint, are impacted by the strength of the oil industry. The significant decrease in oil prices, which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and continued through the first six months of fiscal 2017, has caused a decrease in oil production and infrastructure activity in these areas. In addition, the aforementioned agriculture industry conditions have also led to a reduction of purchases of construction equipment by customers in the agriculture industry, negatively affecting certain of our Construction stores. These factors have

18


reduced demand for equipment purchases, equipment rentals, and service work and parts and have caused an oversupply of equipment inventory and rental fleet equipment in these areas.
Our net loss attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders was $2.5 million , or $0.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2016 , compared to net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders of $0.0 million , or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2015 . Our non-GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.12 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 , compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.00 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 . See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
Revenue decreased 16.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the second quarter last year, mainly driven by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales, which primarily resulted from a decrease in equipment revenue;
Total gross profit margin increased to 19.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to 18.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , primarily caused by a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service businesses, but partially offset by lower equipment gross profit margins resulting from the challenging industry conditions;
Floorplan interest expense decreased 19.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the second quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 ; other interest expense decreased 17.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the second quarter last year, due to interest savings resulting from the repurchase of $30.1 million of our Senior Convertible Notes in April 2016;

Results of Operations
The results shown below include the operating results of any 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 excluded stores throughout the Results of Operations section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The decrease in revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales of 16.5% over the comparable prior year period. This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales of 26.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , which primarily resulted from a decrease in equipment revenue. These decreases in same-store sales were primarily the result of the challenging industry conditions facing our Agriculture segment discussed in the Overview section above. The Construction industry conditions led to lower rental and other revenue, particularly in our Construction stores in oil production areas.

The $9.1 million decrease in gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue and a decrease in equipment gross profit margins resulting from challenging Agriculture industry conditions. The increase in total gross profit margin from 18.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to 19.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was mainly due to a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service businesses.
Our company-wide absorption remained consistent at 78.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to 77.9% during the same period last year as our decrease in gross profit from parts, service and rental and other in fiscal 2017 was offset by a reduction in our fixed operating costs and lower floorplan interest expense.

The $3.9 million decrease in operating expenses, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily the result of various cost saving measures implemented in light of the challenging industry conditions present in both our agriculture and construction industries, and a decrease in commission expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 relative to the prior year due to the decrease in equipment gross profit. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the decrease in total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs.

The realignment costs recognized in the second quarters of fiscal 2017 and 2016 arose as the result of our realignment plans and associated exit costs, including accruals for lease terminations and remaining lease obligations, employee severance costs, the impairment of certain fixed assets, and the costs associated with relocating certain assets of our closed stores. See the Realignment Costs section above for further details on our store realignment plans and associated exit costs, and the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for the impact of these amounts on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.

The decrease in floorplan interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , was primarily due to a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 . The decrease in other interest expense is primarily from interest savings resulting from the repurchase of $30.1 million of our Senior Convertible Notes in April 2016.

Our effective tax rate was 40.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and 135.5% for the same period last year. The difference in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the change in mix of our domestic and foreign losses before income taxes in relation to our total loss before income taxes. In addition, as the majority of our foreign operations have full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets including net operating losses, they do not recognize any income tax expense or benefit. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our effective tax rate and the components of income (loss) before income taxes.

Agriculture segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 26.6% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to a same-store sales decrease of 26.4% over the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , which was primarily caused by a decrease in equipment revenue, largely resulting from the challenging industry conditions discussed in the Overview section above.
Agriculture segment loss before income taxes was $4.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 . The decline in segment results is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in equipment revenue, but partially offset by decreases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of cost saving measures implemented in light of the challenging industry conditions, and a decrease in commission expense due to the decrease in equipment gross profit. The decrease in floorplan interest expense is the result of decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 .
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 2.1% compared to the same period last year.
Our Construction segment income before income taxes was $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 . The improvement in segment results was primarily due to decreases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses reflects costs savings from various measures implemented in light of the challenging industry conditions, and the decrease in floorplan interest expense is the result of decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 . The dollar utilization of our rental fleet decreased slightly from 26.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to 25.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 .
International
International segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 4.3% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease, which was primarily caused by a decrease in equipment revenue, was largely the result of continued low global commodity prices affecting customer demand.
Our International segment loss before income taxes was $0.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to income before income taxes of $0.9 million for the same period last year. The decline in segment results was primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in equipment revenue.
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.

The decrease in revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales of 17.6% over the comparable prior year period. The same-store sales decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales of 25.5% , which primarily resulted from a decrease in equipment revenue. These decreases in same-store sales were primarily the result of the challenging industry conditions facing our Agriculture segment discussed in the Overview section above. The Construction industry conditions led to lower rental and other revenue, particularly in our Construction stores in oil production areas.

The $16.0 million decrease in gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to lower revenue. Total gross profit margin of 18.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2017 increased from the first six months of fiscal 2016 , mainly due to a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts and service businesses.
Our company-wide absorption for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was 75.0% compared to 75.6% during the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit from parts, service and rental and other in fiscal 2017 was offset by a reduction in

our fixed operating costs from savings associated with our realignment plan implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and a reduction in our floorplan interest expense due to a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory.

The $6.5 million decrease in operating expenses, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily the result of our realignment plan implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 in which we reduced our headcount by 14% and generated additional cost savings associated with the closing of four stores in the quarter. In addition, commission expense for the first six months of fiscal 2017 decreased relative to the same period last year due to the decrease in equipment gross profit. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the decrease in total revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the same period last year, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs.

The realignment costs recognized in each of the first six months of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 arise as a result of our store realignment plans and associated exit costs, including accruals for lease terminations and remaining lease obligations, employee severance costs, the impairment of certain fixed assets, and the costs associated with relocating certain assets of our closed stores. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our store realignment plans and associated exit costs, and the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for impact of these amounts on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.

The improvement in interest income and other income (expense) is primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, resulting from changes in the valuation of the Ukrainian hryvnia, which totaled $0.1 million and $2.1 million for the six months of fiscal 2017 and 2016 , respectively. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for impact of the Ukraine foreign currency remeasurement losses on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.
    
The decrease in floorplan interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2017 , as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the first six months of fiscal 2017 . The decrease in other interest expense is the result of a $2.1 million gain recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the repurchase of $30.1 million of our Senior Convertible Notes and the interest savings subsequent to the repurchase. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recognized $0.5 million of expense related to the write-off of capitalized debt issuance costs related to amending our Wells Fargo credit facility. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for the impact of the gain on repurchase of Senior Convertible Notes and write-off of capitalized debt issuance costs on adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP Diluted EPS.

Agriculture segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2017 decreased 26.0% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to an Agriculture same-store sales decrease of 25.5% compared to the same period last year, which was primarily caused by a decrease in equipment revenue, largely resulting from the challenging industry conditions discussed in the Overview section above.
Agriculture segment loss before income taxes was $8.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $3.5 million over the first six months of fiscal 2016 . The decline in segment income is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in equipment revenue, but partially offset by decreases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of the cost savings associated with our realignment plan implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and lower commission expense resulting from the decrease in equipment gross profit. The decrease in floorplan interest expense is the result of a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory during the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016.

Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was consistent with the same period last year.
Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $1.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $4.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016 . This improvement was primarily due to decreases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses reflects cost savings associated with our realignment plan implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the decrease in floorplan interest expense is the result of a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory during the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet in the first six months of fiscal 2017 was 22.4% , consistent with the 22.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2016 .
International
International segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2017 decreased 7.9% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease, which was primarily caused by a decrease in equipment revenue, was largely the result of continued low global commodity prices affecting customer demand.
Our International segment loss before income taxes was $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $3.4 million for the same period last year. The reduction in segment loss before income taxes was primarily the result of a decrease in foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, which totaled $0.1 million and $2.1 million for the six months of fiscal 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The reduction in revenue during the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the same period last year was offset by lower floorplan and other interest expense.
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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders and our earnings (loss) per share - diluted ("Diluted EPS"), both GAAP measures, we use adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders and non-GAAP Diluted EPS, both non-GAAP measures, which exclude the impact of the gain on repurchase of Senior Convertible Notes, the write-off of debt issuance costs, costs associated with our realignment/store closings and foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine resulting from a devaluation of the UAH. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders and non-GAAP Diluted EPS is relevant and useful to our management and investors because it provides a measurement of earnings on activities that we consider to occur in the ordinary course of our business. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders and non-GAAP Diluted EPS should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most comparable GAAP measure. In addition, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures in a different manner, which may hinder comparability of our results with those of other companies.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we discontinued incorporating foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine into our non-GAAP calculations. The UAH remained relatively stable during the three-month period ending July 31, 2016 and therefore did not significantly impact our consolidated statement of operations during this period. Absent any future significant UAH volatility and resulting financial statement impact, we will not include Ukraine foreign currency remeasurement losses in our non-GAAP calculations in future periods. Any Ukraine remeasurement amounts included below occurred in periods prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

(1) The tax effect of Non-GAAP Adjustments was calculated using a 40% tax rate for all U.S. related items that was determined based on a 35% federal statutory rate and a blended state statutory rate of 5% and no tax effect for foreign related items as all of our foreign operations have full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets including net operating losses, therefore we are not recognizing any income tax expense or benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our floorplan payable and other credit facilities. We expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other investments in our business, service our debt, pay our tax and lease obligations and other commitments and contingencies, and meet any seasonal operating requirements for the foreseeable future, provided, however, that our borrowing capacity under our credit agreements is dependent on compliance with various covenants as further described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Equipment Inventory and Floorplan Payable Credit Facilities
As of July 31, 2016 , the Company had discretionary floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling approximately $1.0 billion , which included a $275.0 million Floorplan Payable Line with Wells Fargo, a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $110.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $118.5 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $417.7 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $430.8 million outstanding as of July 31, 2016 .
As a result of our equipment inventory reduction and related reduction in floorplan financing needs, in August 2016, the Company provided notice to Wells Fargo of its election to reduce the maximum Floorplan Payable Line by $65.0 million, from $275.0 million to $210.0 million. Also in August 2016, the Company elected to reduce the maximum credit amount available under its credit facility with DLL Finance by $20.0 million, from $110.0 million to $90.0 million. As a result of these reductions, the Company's total discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment purchases was reduced from approximately $1.0 billion to approximately $915.0 million.
Our equipment inventory turnover was 1.2 for the four quarters ended July 31, 2016 compared to 1.3 for the four quarters ended July 31, 2015 . While our equipment inventories, including amounts classified as held for sale, decreased 24.7% from July 31, 2015 to July 31, 2016 , the decrease in turnover was the result of the lower equipment sales in the four-quarter period ended July 31, 2016 . Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, increased to 26.1% as of July 31, 2016 from 24.8% as of January 31, 2016 .
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our strategic acquisitions and fund our operating activities, including the purchase of inventory, meeting our debt service requirements, providing working capital, making payments due under building space operating leases and manufacturer floorplan payables. 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. Our main financing arrangements, in which we had discretionary floorplan lines of credit totaling approximately $1.0 billion as of July 31, 2016 , are described in Note 4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As of July 31, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under these agreements, and was not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. If anticipated operating results create the likelihood of a future covenant violation, we would expect to work with our lenders on an appropriate modification or amendment to our financing arrangements.
Cash Flow
Cash Flow Provided By Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $60.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2016 , compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $185.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2015 . Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month periods ending July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to a changing mix of manufacturer versus non-manufacturer floorplan financing in which we increased our outstanding borrowings under our manufacturer financing facilities and decreased our amount outstanding under our non-manufacturer facilities.
We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and maintaining a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory. Taking these adjustments into account, our non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities was $1.1 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation below.
Cash Flow Used For Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $3.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2016 , compared to net cash used for investing activities of $1.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2015 . Cash used for investing activities was primarily for the purchase of rental fleet and property and equipment, net of any proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Cash Flow Used For Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $95.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2016 compared to net cash used for financing activities of $215.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2015 . For the six months ended July 31, 2016 , net cash used for financing activities was the result of the aforementioned change in financing mix of manufacturer versus non-manufacturer floorplan financing and the use of $25.0 million to repurchase Senior Convertible Notes. For the six months

30


ended July 31, 2015 , net cash used for financing activities primarily resulted from the aforementioned change in financing mix as well as an overall net reduction of long-term debt.
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. The adjustment is equal to the net change in non-manufacturer floorplan payable, as shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. GAAP categorizes non-manufacturer floorplan payable as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities is also impacted by the change in our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables. Equity in equipment inventory increased to 26.1% as of July 31, 2016 from 24.8% as of January 31, 2016 , and increased to 20.0% as of July 31, 2015 from 18.7% as of January 31, 2015 . We analyze our cash flow provided by operating activities by assuming a constant level of equipment inventory financing throughout each respective fiscal year. The adjustment eliminates the impact of this fluctuation of equity in our equipment inventory, and is equal to the difference between our actual level of equity in equipment inventory at each period end presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows, compared to the actual level of equity in equipment inventory at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities is a non-GAAP financial measure which is adjusted for changes in non-manufacturer floorplan payables and changes in the level of equity in equipment inventory. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP cash flow provided by 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 and level of financing for our equipment inventory. The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities, and net cash used for financing activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow used for financing activities.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of July 31, 2016 , we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose 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 real estate, vehicles and equipment under operating leases.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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, 2016 , 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).

31


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, the impact of farm income levels on our customers' demand for agricultural equipment and services, the impact of oil prices on market demand for equipment and services, the general market conditions of the agricultural and construction industries, equipment inventory levels, estimated realignment costs and savings, and 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, and those matters identified and discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 our interest-bearing balances and interest rates as of July 31, 2016 , 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 $2.0 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 $2.0 million . At July 31, 2016 , we had total floorplan payables of variable rate floorplan payable of $430.8 million , of which approximately $183.2 million was interest-bearing, $147.7 million was non-interest bearing and $100.0 million was effectively fixed rate due to our interest rate swap instrument. At July 31, 2016 , we also had variable notes payable and long-term debt of $14.0 million , and fixed rate notes payable and long-term debt of $27.1 million .
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our foreign currency exposures arise as the result of our foreign operations. We are exposed to transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through our foreign entities’ holding assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency transaction risk as a result of certain intercompany financing transactions. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, or through natural hedging instruments. Based upon balances and exchange rates as of July 31, 2016 , holding other variables constant, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. As of July 31, 2016 , our Ukrainian subsidiary had $1.3 million of net monetary assets denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). We have attempted to minimize our net monetary asset position through reducing overall asset levels in Ukraine and through borrowing in UAH which serves as a natural hedging instrument offsetting our net UAH denominated assets. At certain times, currency and payment controls imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine have limited our ability to manage our net monetary asset position. The UAH devalued significantly during the six month period ended July 31, 2015, but has remained relatively stable since that time. Continued and significant devaluation of the UAH could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk, we are also exposed to translational foreign currency exchange rate risk as we translate the results of operations and assets and liabilities of our foreign operations from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar. As a result, our results of operations, cash flows and net investment in our foreign operations may be adversely impacted by fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates, holding all other variables constant, 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.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims have, in the past, generally been covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may arise out of claims brought against us, or that our insurance will cover all claims. We are not currently a party to any material litigation.
ITEM 1A.             RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the important information in “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016 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 may 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 may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
