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 three-monthsix-month period ended April 30,July 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2014 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, 2014 as filed with the SEC.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended April 30, 2014, the Company concluded that the treatment of its prepaid value added tax (“VAT”) asset in Ukraine as a non-monetary asset was incorrect and that the asset should be classified and accounted for as a monetary asset and therefore should be remeasured from Ukrainian Hryvnia (“UAH”) to U.S. Dollars (“USD”) using the current rate as opposed to the historical rate used for non-monetary assets. In addition, in February of 2014, the National Bank of Ukraine terminated the currency peg of the 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 the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter.

The incorrect classification of the VAT asset as a non-monetary asset coupled with the significant devaluation of the UAH resulted in an overstatement of the Company’s assets (Prepaid expenses and other) as of April 30, 2014 and an understatement of the Company’s loss (Interest income and other income (expense)) for the three months ended April 30, 2014. This correction increased the Company’s Net Loss Attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. by $2.3 million (from the previously reported $4.2 million to $6.5 million) and increased the diluted loss per share by $0.11 (from the previously reported $0.20 loss per share to a $0.31 loss per share). This correction is reflected in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six-month period ended July 31, 2014.

Based on an evaluation of all relevant factors, the Company concluded that this correction was immaterial to the Company’s results for the three months ended April 30, 2014; therefore, the Company determined that an amendment of its previously filed Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2014 was not necessary, and the correction will be reflected in future 10-K and 10-Q filings.

Nature of Business
 
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 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 financial statements, including the 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.
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 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 375,000125,000 and 380,00099,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended April 30,July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. There were approximately 126,000 and 66,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, 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:

Recent Accounting Guidance

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended authoritative guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity, codified in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Discontinued Operations and 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The amended guidance changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations, to only include disposals that represent a strategic shift and have a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. The amended guidance also requires entities to provide additional disclosure of disposals reported as discontinued operations, and for disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The guidance is effective for disposals of components of an entity occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2015. Its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance 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

Table of Contents

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, 2017, using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the 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 purchased 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. Changes in manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as operating cash flows and changes in non-manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as financing cash flows in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of April 30,July 31, 2014, the Company had discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment inventory purchases totaling approximately $1.17$1.18 billion, which includes a $350.0 million Floorplan Payable Line with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $225.0 million credit facility with Agricredit Acceptance LLC and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $142.7$152.1 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $701.5$773.4 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $798.5$850.3 million outstanding as of April 30,July 31, 2014 and $692.8 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $750.5 million outstanding as of January 31, 2014. As of April 30,July 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $401.7$319.3 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 Wells Fargo credit agreement, and rental fleet financing and other acquisition-related financing arrangements under the CNH Industrial Capital credit agreement). These U.S. floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.78% to 4.99%4.98%, and the foreign floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.34%2.21% to 12.16%10.50%, as of April 30,July 31, 2014.

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.


11

Table of Contents

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$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 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 is hedging 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 valued certain long-lived assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended July 31, 2014, related to fixed assets at stores closed, during the three months ended April 30, 2014.closed. The estimated fair value of these assets approximated zero, thus requiring a full impairment charge equal to the carrying values of such assets. The valuation methodologies utilized Level 3 fair value 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 April 30,July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. The following table provides details on the Senior Convertible Notes as of April 30,July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014.2014. 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.

NOTE 9—STORE CLOSINGS AND REALIGNMENT COSTS
To better align its Construction business in certain markets, in April 2014, the Company reduced its Construction-related headcount by approximately 12% primarily through the closing of seven underperforming Construction stores, staff reductions at other dealerships and reductions in support staff at its Shared Resource Center. The closed stores were located in Bozeman, Big Sky and Helena, Montana; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Clear Lake, Iowa; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Rosemount, Minnesota. The Company also closed its Agriculture store in Oskaloosa, Iowa and merged it with the nearby Agriculture store in Pella, Iowa. The Company's remaining stores in each of the respective areas assumed the majority of the distribution rights for the CNH Industrial brand previously held by the stores which have closed. The majority of the assets of the closed stores have been redeployed to other store locations. Certain inventory items which are not sold by any of our remaining stores will bewere sold at auction. The inventory markdown attributable to such items are included in the exit cost summary below. The majority of the exit costs were recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2014; however the remaining costs, which primarily relate to asset relocation and other closing costs, are expected to bewere incurred during the three months ended July 31, 2014.

The following summarizes the exit costs associated with the store closings and realignment that occurred in April 2014:2014. The amounts incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2014 reflect the total amounts expected to be incurred related to the closing of these stores.

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. The fluctuations in our effective income tax rate are primarily due to losses in our international subsidiaries in which we record a valuation allowance against our net operating losses. These losses are available to reduce future taxable income, if earned within the allowable net operating loss carryforward period, in these jurisdictions. 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.

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, 2014.
 
Realignment Costs

To better align its Construction business in certain markets, in April 2014, the Company reduced its Construction-related headcount by approximately 12% primarily through the closing of seven underperforming Construction stores, staff reductions at other dealerships and reductions in support staff at its Shared Resource Center. The closed stores were located in Bozeman, Big Sky and Helena, Montana; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Clear Lake, Iowa; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Rosemount, Minnesota. The Company also closed its Agriculture store in Oskaloosa, Iowa and merged it with the nearby Agriculture store in Pella, Iowa. The Company's remaining stores in each of the respective areas assumed the majority of the distribution rights for the CNH Industrial brand previously held by the stores which have closed. We recognized $3.2$0.2 million and $3.4 million in exit costs during the three and sixmonths ended April 30, 2014 and expect to recognize the remaining exit costs of approximately $0.6 million during the three months ended July 31, 2014.2014, respectively.

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, 2014.
 
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.
 
Our net lossincome (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. common stockholders was $4.1$(0.6) million, or $0.20$(0.03) per diluted share, for the three months ended April 30,July 31, 2014, compared to $0.4$3.8 million, or $0.02$0.18 per diluted share, for the three months ended April 30,July 31, 2013. Our non-GAAP Diluted EPS was $0.04 and $0.18 for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
 
Revenue increased 5.4%decreased 7.6% for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to the firstsecond quarter last year, primarily from an increasedue to a decrease in ConstructionAgriculture same-store sales, and partially offset by a decreasean increase in AgricultureConstruction same-store sales;

Total gross profit margin decreasedincreased to 16.3%17.7% for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to 16.7%17.1% for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2014, 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 partsservice and service business;

Realignment costs totaling $3.2 million were recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 related to the headcount reductionsrental and closing of seven Construction stores and one Agriculture store; andother businesses;

Floorplan interest expense increased in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to the same period last year, due to higher floorplan payable balances resulting from growth in our equipment inventory, primarily in our International segment.segment; and

Interest income and other income (expense) decreased primarily due to foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, resulting from a devaluation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

The increasedecrease in revenue for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily due to an increasea decrease in same-store sales of 3.2%5.6% over the comparable prior year period, mainly driven by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales of 15.1% and offset by an increase in Construction segment same-store sales of 24.4% and offset by26.5%. The Agriculture same-store sales decrease was primarily due to a decrease in equipment revenue and were negatively impacted by challenging industry conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices and projected net farm income, which have a negative effect on customer sentiment. Changes in actual or anticipated net farm income, or in any of the significant components of net farm income, generally have a direct correlation with equipment revenue. The commodity price of corn and soybeans, which are the predominant crops in our Agriculture same-store salesstore footprint, decreased significantly from the price during the second quarter of 1.2%.fiscal 2014, mainly as a result of a projected increase in U.S. corn and soybean supply compared to the prior year. In February 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its projection of a decrease in net farm income from calendar year 2013 to 2014. The increase in Construction segment revenue, which included increases in all lines of the Construction segment's business, resulted from improved industry conditions and the positive impact of operational initiatives. The Agriculture same-store sales were negatively impacted by challenging industry conditions such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices and projected net farm income, which have a negative effect on customer sentiment. The commodity price of corn, which is the predominant crop in our Agriculture store footprint, decreased significantly from the price during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, mainly as a result of an increase in U.S. corn supply compared to the prior year. Net farm income has been strong and increasing in many of the recent years, however, in February 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its projection of a decrease in net farm income from calendar year 2013 to 2014.

Agriculture segment revenue for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 2.1%14.5% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to an Agriculture same-store sales decrease of 1.2%15.1% over the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which was primarily due to a decrease in equipment revenue, and were negatively impacted by challenging industry conditions, such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices and projected net farm income, which negatively affected customer sentiment in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in actual or anticipated net farm income, or in any of the significant components of net farm income, generally have a direct correlation with equipment revenue. The commodity price of corn and soybeans, which are the predominant crops in our Agriculture store footprint, decreased significantly from the price during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, mainly as a result of a projected increase in U.S. corn and soybean supply compared to the prior year. In February 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its projection of a decrease in net farm income from calendar year 2013 to 2014.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 46.0% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in revenue.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 15.9% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to a same-store sales increase of 26.5% over the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which was partially offset by the impact of our store closings. The increase in Construction segment revenue, which included increases in all lines of business, resulted from improved industry conditions and the positive impact of operational initiatives.
Our Construction segment income before income taxes was $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to segment loss before income taxes of $1.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. This improvement was primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue, a decrease in operating expenses, and partially offset by an increase in floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expense mainly reflects cost savings associated with the closing of seven stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in floorplan interest expense reflects higher equipment inventory balances during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet increased slightly, from 29.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to 29.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

International
International segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased $3.7 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to new store openings, and a same-store sales increase of 9.6%.
Our International segment loss before income taxes was $5.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to segment income before income taxes of $0.1 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in equipment gross profit margin, increases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense, and a decrease in interest income and other income (expense), as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in equipment gross profit margin was caused by decreases in agricultural commodity prices in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year, and the political and economic instability in Ukraine in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, which negatively affected customer sentiment. Operating expenses increased due to expanding our distribution network in Eastern Europe, including opening a new store in Ukraine and establishing a European operations center to support our European stores. We believe the political and economic instability in Ukraine has had a negative affect on our revenue, which reduces our ability to leverage these fixed operating costs. The increase in floorplan interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the increase in floorplan payable and the related equipment inventory balances in our International segment, and higher interest rates in Ukraine associated with the political and economic instability that is present in the current fiscal year. The decrease in interest income and other income (expense) was primarily due to foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, resulting from a devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

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 $1.9 million decrease in gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2015, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due lower equipment revenue and gross profit margin. Total gross profit margin of 17.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2015 increased slightly from the first six months of fiscal 2014, mainly due to a change in gross profit mix to our higher-margin parts, service and rental and other businesses, and offset by the decreases in gross profit margin on each of our lines of business. The change in gross profit mix primarily resulted from decreased equipment revenue causing a change in sales mix. The decrease in rental and other gross profit margin resulted from a slight decrease in the dollar utilization of our rental fleet, from 27.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 to 26.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2015.

Agriculture segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2015 decreased 8.4% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to an Agriculture same-store sales a decrease of 8.3% compared to the same period last year, which was primarily due to a decrease in equipment revenue, and were negatively impacted by challenging industry conditions, such as decreases in agricultural commodity prices and projected net farm income, which negatively affected customer sentiment in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Changes in actual or anticipated net farm income, or in any of the significant components of net farm income, generally have a direct correlation with equipment revenue. The commodity price of corn and soybeans, which isare the predominant cropcrops in our Agriculture store footprint, decreasedwas significantly fromlower in the first six months of fiscal 2015 than the price during the first quartersix months of fiscal 2014, mainly as a result of ana projected increase in U.S. corn and soybean supply compared to the prior year. Net farm income has been strong and increasing in many of the recent years, however, inIn February 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its projection of a decrease in net farm income from calendar year 2013 to 2014.
 
Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 decreased 58.5%51.6% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in revenue, a decrease in equipment gross profit on equipmentmargin and recognition of realignment costs.offset by a decrease in operating expenses. The compression in equipment gross profit margin was primarily caused by the previously discussed Agriculture industry challenges as well as an oversupply of used equipment in the Agriculture industry. The realignment costs of $0.7 million relateddecrease in operating expenses was primarily due to an Agriculture store closedlower commissions expense resulting from the decrease in April 2014.equipment gross profit.
 
Construction
 
Construction segment revenue for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 increased 23.0%19.1% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to a same-store sales increase of 24.4%26.0% over the first quartersix months of fiscal 2014. The increase in Construction segment revenue, which included increases in all lines of business, resulted from improved industry conditions and the positive impact of operational initiatives.
 
Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $5.8$5.7 million for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 compared to segment incomeloss before income taxes of $6.5$8.2 million for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2014. This improvement was primarily due to the increase in revenue improved gross profit margins for equipment, parts and service, and partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and realignment costs. The increase in gross profit margins was primarily due to the aforementioned industry and operational improvements. The increase in operating expense reflects increase commission costs, resulting from higher gross profit, and higher occupancy costs associated with store building improvements. Realignment costs totaling $2.3 million were recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 related to the headcount reductions and closing of seven Construction stores, which was discussed above. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet decreased slightly, from 27.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 to 26.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2015.

International
 
International segment revenue for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 increased $2.6$6.3 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to new store openings, and a same-store sales increase of 1.9%11.7%.
 
Our International segment loss before income taxes was $3.1$10.4 million for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015 compared to segment loss before income taxes of $0.5$0.4 million for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to increases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense, and a decrease in interest income and other income (expense), as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. Operating expenses increased due to expanding our distribution network in Eastern Europe, including opening a new store in Ukraine and establishing a European operations center to support our European stores. We believe the political and economic instability in Ukraine has had a negative affect on our revenue, which reduces our ability to leverage these fixed operating costs. The increase in floorplan interest expense for the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the increase in floorplan payable and the related equipment inventory balances in our International segment.segment, and higher interest rates in Ukraine associated with the political and economic instability that is present in the current fiscal year. The decrease in interest income and other income (expense) was primarily due to foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, resulting from a devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2015.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our earnings (loss) per share - diluted ("Diluted EPS") presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP Diluted EPS, which excludes the impact of our store closing costs and foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine, resulting from a devaluation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP Diluted EPS is relevant and useful to our investors because it provides a measurement of earnings on activities we consider to occur in the ordinary course of our business. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, the GAAP measure of Diluted EPS. The following table reconciles Diluted EPS, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP Diluted EPS:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash from operations, proceeds from our public stock offerings, proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Convertible Notes, 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 obligations and commitments and contingencies, and meet any seasonal operating requirements for the foreseeable future.future, provided, however, that our borrowing capacity under our credit agreements is dependent on compliance with various financial covenants as further described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have worked in the past, and will continue to work in the future, with our lenders to implement satisfactory modifications to certain financial covenants as appropriate for the business conditions confronted by us.
 
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 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. Our main financing arrangements, in which we had discretionary floorplan lines of credit totaling approximately $1.18 billion as of July 31, 2014, are described in Note 4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As of July 31, 2014, we are in compliance with the financial covenants under these agreements. If anticipated operating results create the likelihood of a future covenant violation, we would work with our lenders on an appropriate modification or amendment to our financing arrangements.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow Used For Operating Activities

Net cash used for operating activities was $54.679.4 million for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014, compared to $6.3$48.5 million for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2013. Net cash used for operating activities for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in our inventories and a decrease in floorplan payable financing of such inventories. Net cash used for operating activities for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to an increase in our inventories, and partially offset by a decreasean increase in receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets.manufacturer flooplan payable financing of such inventories. The increase in net cash used for operating activities for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to a decrease in our reported net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest, including non-cash adjustments to such net income, changes in working capital.capital and an increase in our inventories, net of manufacturer floorplan financing of such inventories. We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity. Taking this adjustment into account, our non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities was $10.7$21.4 million and $2.1cash flow used for operating activities was $27.0 million for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014, net cash used for investing activities was primarily comprised of property and equipment purchases. For the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2013, net cash used for investing activities was primarily comprised of property and equipment purchases and business combinations consisting of two stores.

Cash Flow Provided By Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $68.4$100.8 million for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014 and $5.9$43.3 million for the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2013. In bothFor the threesix months ended April 30,July 31, 2014, and 2013, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan payables, which increased as a result of higher equipment inventory balancesbalances. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of proceeds from long-term debt for rental fleet financing, and an increase in eachnon-manufacturer floorplan payables, which increased as a result of the respective periods.higher equipment inventory 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 used for operating activities is a non-GAAP financial measure which is adjusted for non-manufacturer floorplan payable. 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.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP cash flow 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 used for operating activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided for operating activities, and net cash provided by financing activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) financing activities.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 
As of April 30,July 31, 2014, 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.

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, 2014, 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, farm income levels and performance of the agricultural and construction industries, equipment inventory levels, 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, 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 April 30,July 31, 2014, 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 $5.3$5.1 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 $5.3$5.1 million. At April 30,July 31, 2014, we had variable rate floorplan payable of $798.5$850.3 million, of which approximately $481.6$543.8 million was interest-bearing, variable notes payable and long-term debt of $48.0$49.0 million, and fixed rate notes payable and long-term debt of $54.7$53.4 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 from purchasing inventory in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and 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 April 30,July 31, 2014, 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.
