TITAN MACHINERY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1—BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the nine-monthsix-month period ended OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2017.2018. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 20162017 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, 20162017 as filed with the SEC.
Nature of Business
The Company is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through 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 intangiblelong-lived 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 was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period.
Diluted EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) 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. All anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

Recent Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance adopted
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on February 1, 2017. Under the former guidance for measuring inventory, the Company recognized 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 adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's 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 adopted this guidance on February 1, 2017. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to share-based compensation that were previously recorded to equity are now recognized as a discrete tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations. The impact on income tax expense (benefit) was not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Excess tax benefits are no longer reclassified out of cash flows from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. We elected to apply this cash flow presentation requirement prospectively. The amount of excess tax benefits recognized for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 were not material. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes are required to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This method of presentation is consistent with the Company's historical presentation. Also under the new standard, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based instruments as they occur, as compared to the previous guidance under which the Company estimated the number of forfeitures. The Company applied the accounting change on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 1, 2017. The following table summarizes the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

Accounting guidance not yet adopted
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 one2018.
We are in the process of assessing the two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effectsimpact adoption of this standard will have on theour consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidancestatements and related disclosures. Our implementation efforts to date consist of an identification and assessment of our primary revenue streams and performing contract analyses over a sample of contracts within each of our revenue streams. Based on management's responsibilityour assessment 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. The Company doeswe do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effectimpact on our revenue recognition policies for our equipment, parts or service revenues. ASC 606 does not apply to the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015,recognition of our rental revenues as the FASB amended authoritative guidance on accounting for such revenues is governed by other authoritative guidance. We anticipate adopting 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 reducedstandard by an allowance for a normal profit margin. Upon implementationuse of the modified retrospective approach. In addition, we are continuing to evaluate the changes necessary to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under 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 the consolidated financial statements.standard.
In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842,Leases. 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,

with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company has not determinedWe anticipate adopting the potential effects adoptionnew standard on February 1, 2019, and expect to elect the package of practical expedients afforded under the guidance, including the use of hindsight to determine the lease term. While we continue to evaluate this standard, we anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets due to the capitalization of a right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with our current operating leases, but do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements of operations or cash flows.
In March 2016,May 2017, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on stock-basedmodifications related to stock compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Compensation.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company determined that the current period operating loss combined with historical losses and anticipated future operating losses within certain of its stores was an indication that certain long-lived assets of these stores may not be recoverable. The Company performed step one of the impairment analysis for these assets which have a combined carrying value of $6.2 million. In certain cases, for assets with an aggregate carrying value of $2.6 million, the analysis indicated that the carrying value is not recoverable. Accordingly, the Company performed step two of the impairment analysis and estimated the fair value of these assets using estimated selling prices of similar assets. Step two of the analysis indicated that an impairment charge in the amount of $0.3 million was necessary, of which $0.2 million related to the Agriculture segment and $0.1 million related to the Construction segment. In all other cases, in which the aggregate carrying value of such assets totaled $3.6 million, the Company's analyses indicated that the carrying values are recoverable based on its estimates of future undiscounted cash flows under step one of the impairment analysis.

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'sIndustrial'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, floorplan credit facilities for its foreign subsidiaries, and other floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders and manufacturers.
In August 2016, as a result of the Company's equipment inventory reduction and related reduction in floorplan financing needs, the Company provided notice to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association of its election to reduce the maximum credit amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Wells Fargo 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 LLC ("DLL Finance"), from $110.0 million to $90.0 million.
As a result of the reduction of the maximum credit amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company wrote-off $0.6 million of capitalized debt issuance costs. This charge is recorded in other interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.    
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, the Company had discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment inventory purchases totaling approximately $856.2$741.0 million, which includes a $210.0$140.0 million Floorplan Payable Line under theits second amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo (the "Wells Fargo Credit Agreement,Agreement"), a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $90.0$45.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $106.2$106.0 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $362.8$296.2 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $372.1$308.0 million outstanding as of OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 and $420.7$228.3 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $444.8$233.2 million outstanding as of January 31, 2016.2017. The remaining outstanding balances relate to equipment inventory financing from manufacturers and non-manufacturer lenders other than the lines of credit described above. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, the interest-bearing U.S. floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.74%3.49% to 6.09%6.53%, and the foreign floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 1.49%0.92% to 7.70%7.23%.
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, the Company had a compensating balance arrangement under one of its foreign floorplan credit facilities which requires a minimum cash deposit to be maintained with the lender in the amount of $5.0 million for the term of the credit facility.
Working Capital Line
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, the Company had a $65$60.0 million Working Capital Line under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. The Company had no amount$26.0 million and $13.0 million outstanding on this Working Capital Line as of OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 and January 31, 2016.2017. As of July 31, 2017, the Working Capital Line carried an interest rate of 3.73%.
Wells Fargo Credit Agreement
As a result of our ongoing equipment inventory reduction and related reduction in floorplan financing needs, in May 2017, the Company provided notice to Wells Fargo of its election to reduce the maximum credit amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement from an aggregate $275.0 million to an aggregate $200.0 million, comprised of a $70.0 million reduction in the Floorplan Payable Line, from $210.0 million to $140.0 million, and a $5.0 million reduction in the Working Capital Line, from $65.0 million to $60.0 million.
As a result of the reduction of the maximum credit amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company wrote off $0.4 million of capitalized debt issuance costs. This charge is recorded in other interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest 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.

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 beenwas designated as a cash flow hedging instrumentsinstrument and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instruments areinstrument have been 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.
    In April 2017, the Company elected to terminate its outstanding interest rate swap instrument. The Company paid $0.9 million to terminate the instrument. This cash payment is presented as a financing cash outflow in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
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 as of January 31, 20162017 as part of its long-lived asset impairment testing. The estimated fair value of such assets as of January 31, 20162017 was $5.6$3.6 million and consisted of real estate assets whereand fair value was estimateddetermined by a professional appraisal of such assets. The real estate appraisals utilizedutilizing market and income approaches incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs, and are deemed to be Level 3 fair value inputs. The most significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements under the market approach include adjustments to observable market sales information to incorporate differences in geographical locations and age and condition of subject assets, and the most significant unobservable inputs under the income approach include forecasted net cash generated from the use of the subject assets and the discount rate applied to such cash flows to arrive at a fair value estimate. In addition, in certain instances as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016,2017, the Company estimated the fair value of certain long-lived assets to approximate zero as no future cash flows were assumed to be generated from the use of such assets and the expected sales values of such assets were deemed to be nominal. All such fair value measurements were based on unobservable inputs and thus are Level 3 fair value inputs. No long-lived assets were valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of July 31, 2017.
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 OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 and January 31, 2016,2017, respectively. The following table provides details on the Senior Convertible Notessenior convertible notes as of OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 and January 31, 2016.2017. 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 Notessenior convertible notes was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.

NOTE 9—RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In February 2017, to better align the Company's cost structure and business in certain markets, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan"), to close one Construction location and 14 Agriculture locations. As of July 31, 2017, the Company has closed and fully exited all of these locations. The Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in a significant reduction of expenses while allowing the Company to continue to provide a leading level of service to its customers. In total, over the term of the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, the Company anticipates recognizing approximately $15.0 million of restructuring charges consisting primarily of fixed asset impairment charges, lease termination costs and termination benefits. The Company anticipates the restructuring charges to be approximately $10.0 million, $3.0 million and $2.0 million within its Agriculture, Construction and Shared Resources segments.

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.

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.
2017. 
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 inlow 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 November of 2016,August 2017, the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") published its U.S. farm sector financial indicators. The USDA projected net farm income for calendar year 2017 to remain relatively flat as compared to calendar year 2016 toand decrease 34%30.4% as compared to the most recent five-year average. 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.our geographic footprint.
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 nine months of2016, and remained at lower prices in fiscal 2017 hasand 2018, 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 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 incomeloss including noncontrolling interest was $0.3$5.2 million, or $0.01$0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, compared to $3.4a net loss including noncontrolling interest of $2.7 million, or $0.16$0.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015.2016. On a non-GAAPan adjusted basis, our diluted loss per share was $0.04 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, compared to an adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.01of $0.12 for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016, compared to non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.20 for the three months ended October 31, 2015.2016. 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 3.7%3.4% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, as compared to the thirdsecond quarter last year, driven by a decreasethe result of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, and also impacted by the result of our expanded marketing of aged equipment inventory during fiscal 2017, but partially offset by increased revenues in same-store sales in both our Agriculture and Construction segments;International segment.
Total gross profit margin decreasedincreased to 17.6%19.6% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, as compared to 19.5%19.0% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2016.2017. The decreaseincrease in gross profit margin was primarily the result of equipment gross margin compression as we accelerated our used inventory reduction efforts in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 by aggressively retailing used equipment inventories. In addition, a changing mix of equipment sales more heavily weighted towards used equipment revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 also contributed to the lowerhigher gross profit margin;margins on equipment revenues.
Floorplan interest expense decreased 28.4%43.2% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, as compared to the thirdsecond quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017; other interest expense decreased 46.5%2018.
Restructuring costs amounted to $5.5 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared to2018. See the third quarter last year, due primarily to a $1.0 million gain recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 related to repurchases of $24.2 million of our Senior Convertible Notes and to the interest savings resulting from that repurchase and the repurchase of $30.1 million of Senior Convertible Notes in April 2016.Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan section below for further details.


Realignment CostsFiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan
We recognized $0.3 million and $1.5 million in realignment costs during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. ToIn February 2017, to better align ourthe Company's cost structure and re-balance staffing levels with the evolving needs of the business in March 2015, we approvedcertain markets, the Company announced a realignmentdealership restructuring plan, that reduced our headcount by approximately 14%, which included headcount reductions at stores in eachthe anticipated closure 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 storeslocation and 14 Agriculture locations. As of July 31, 2017, the Company has closed and fully exited all of these locations. The restructuring plan is expected to result in eacha significant reduction of expenses while allowing the respective areas assumedCompany to continue to provide a leading level of service to its customers. In total, the distribution rightsCompany anticipates recognizing approximately $15.0 million of restructuring charges consisting primarily of fixed asset impairment charges, lease termination costs and termination benefits. The Company recognized $3.0 million of restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and $7.9 million for the CNH Industrial brand previously held by the closed stores. six months ended July 31, 2017.
See also the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for the impact of these costs on adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted 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 this currency 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 $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended October 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 adjusted 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, 2016.2017.
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 thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018 was primarily the result of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and the impact of incremental revenue associated with our expanded marketing of aged equipment inventory within our Agriculture and Construction segments in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Approximately $29.8 million of equipment revenue was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was driven by a decrease in same-store sales of 3.6% over the comparable prior year period. A decrease in same-stores sales occurred in each of our Agriculture, Construction and International segments and wasas the result of the challenging industry conditions discussedour expanded marketing plan. The decrease in the Overview section above.Agriculture and Construction segment revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue in our International segment.

The $8.7 million decrease in grossGross profit for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018 was flat with the comparable period last year. The decrease in revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was offset by higher gross profit margins on equipment revenue 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 our aggressive pricing and retailing of used equipment inventories to accelerate our used inventory reduction efforts in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.year. The decreaseincrease in total gross profit margin from 19.5%19.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 to 17.6% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017 to 19.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was mainly due to thehigher gross profit margins on equipment gross margin compression noted above as well as a changing mix of equipment revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 with a more heavy weighting towards used equipment sales versus new equipment sales.revenue.

Agriculture segment revenue for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20172018 decreased 2.7%9.9% compared to the same period last year. Same-store sales decreased 0.2% over the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue resulting from the impact of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan.
Agriculture segment loss before income taxes was $6.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to a $4.3 million loss before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The increased segment loss before income taxes was largely the result of restructuring charges incurred under our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, which amounted to $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, but partially offset by operating expense savings as a result of this plan and a decrease in floorplan interest expense as the result of a decrease in our interest-bearing inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in segment revenue was largely offset by a higher gross profit margin.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased 6.3% compared to the same period last year.

The declineincrease in segment results iswas primarily due to equipment gross margin compression resulting from our aggressive retailing of used equipment inventories in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 to accelerate our used inventory reduction efforts. The decrease in equipment gross profit was 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, while the thea decrease in floorplan interest expense isthat was the result of a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017.

The revenue decrease was due to2018 and a same-store sales decrease of 7.7% over the third quarter of fiscal 2016, and included decreases in equipment, parts and rental and other revenues, largely resulting from the challenging industry conditions discussed in the Overview section above.
Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to income before income taxes of $1.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The decline in segment results was primarily due to the decrease in revenue noted above, butoperating expenses related to cost savings from our restructuring plan. The decrease in expenses was partially offset by decreases in operating expensesequipment revenues and floorplan interest expense. The decrease in operating expenses reflects cost savings from various measures implemented in light of the challenging industry conditions, and the decrease in floorplan interest expense is the result of a decrease in our average interest-bearing inventory in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.gross profit.

The increase in segment income before income taxes was primarily due to the increase in segment revenue as noted above, but partially offset by an increase in operating expenses resulting from the continued build-out of our footprint and presence in our European markets.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resource segment loss before income taxes was $1.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to loss before income taxes of $0.7 million for the same period last year. For the second quarter of fiscal 2018, loss before income taxes was impacted by $0.4 million in debt issuance cost write-offs as a result of our election to reduce the maximum available credit under our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement.

The decrease in revenue for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales of 12.9% over the comparable prior year period. The same-store sales decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in Agriculture same-store sales of 18.1%, which primarily resulted from a decrease in equipment revenue. This decrease in same-store sales2018 was primarily the result of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and the challenging industry conditions facingimpact of incremental revenue associated with our expanded marketing of aged equipment inventory within our Agriculture segment discussedand Construction segments in the Overview section above.second quarter of fiscal 2017.

The $24.7$4.8 million decrease in gross profit for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2017,2018, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to lower revenue for the first ninesixth months of fiscal 2018. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in gross profit margin percentage from 18.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2017 and compressed equipment gross margins during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as a result of aggressively retailing used equipment to accelerate our used inventory reduction efforts. The reduction in equipment gross profit margin during19.1% for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2017 was offset by the increased proportion of sales in our higher-margin parts and service businesses, resulting in our total gross profit margin percentage of 18.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 remaining consistent with the comparable prior year period.

The $6.8$3.5 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 that quarter. In addition, commission expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 decreased relative to the same period last year due to the decrease in equipment gross profit.resulting from our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the decrease in total revenue in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2017,2018, as compared to the same period last year, which negatively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs.

Agriculture 
Agriculture segment revenue for the first ninesix months of fiscal 20172018 decreased 18.6%9.1% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue resulting from the impact of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan. Agriculture same-store sales decreased 2.6% compared to the same period last year.
Agriculture segment loss before income taxes was $10.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2018 compared to loss before income taxes of $8.1 million over the first six months of fiscal 2017. The increased segment loss before income taxes was largely the result of restructuring charges incurred under our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, which amounted to $6.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2018, but partially offset by operating expense savings as a result of this plan and a decrease in floorplan interest expense as the result of a decrease in our interest-bearing inventory in the first six months of fiscal 2018. The decrease in segment revenue was partially offset by a higher gross profit margin.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2018 decreased 12.3% compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease was due to an Agriculture same-store sales decrease of 18.1% 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 $9.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 compared to income before income taxes of $0.7 million over the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The decline in segment income is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in equipment revenue and equipment gross profit margin 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 nine months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2016.

Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resource segment loss before income taxes was $5.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2018 compared to loss before income taxes of $0.2 million for the same period last year. For the first six months of fiscal 2018, loss before income taxes was impacted by $0.9 million in restructuring costs related to the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and $0.6 million in floorplan interest expense related to the interest rates swap termination and reclassification. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, income before taxes included a $2.1 million gain recognized as a result of our repurchase of $30.1 million face value of senior convertible notes.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest and our earnings (loss) per share - diluted ("Diluted EPS"), both GAAP measures, we use adjusted net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest and adjusted Diluted EPS, both non-GAAP measures, which exclude the impact of the gain on repurchase of Senior Convertible Notes,senior convertible notes, the write-off of debt issuance costs, long-lived asset impairment charges,restructuring costs associated with our realignment/store closings, the gain recognizedand reclassification of accumulated losses on insurance recoveries,our interest rate swap and foreign currency remeasurement losses in Ukraine resulting from a devaluation of the UAH. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest and adjusted 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) including noncontrolling interest and adjusted 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 subsequent to April 30, 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) Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we discontinued incorporating Ukraine remeasurement losses into our Non-GAAPadjusted income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share calculations.  The UAHUkrainian hryvnia (UAH) remained relatively stable subsequent to April 30, 2016 and therefore did not significantly impact our consolidated statement of operations during this period. Absent any future significant hryvniaUAH volatility and resulting financial statement impact, we will not include Ukraine remeasurement losses in our Non-GAAP calculationsadjusted amounts in future periods.

That rate was determined based on a 35% federal statutory rate and a blendedno impact for state statutory rate of 5% and notaxes given our valuation allowance against state deferred tax assets, including net operating losses. No tax effect was recognized for foreign related items as all of ouradjustments occurred in foreign operationsjurisdictions that have full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets including net operating losses, therefore we are not recognizing any income tax expense or benefit.assets.
(3) Adjustments are net of the impact of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests and allocated to participating securities.

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.
Equipment Inventory and Floorplan Payable Credit Facilities
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, the Company had discretionary floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling approximately $856$741.0 million, which included a $210.0$140.0 million Floorplan Payable Line with Wells Fargo, a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $90.0$45.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $106.2$106.0 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $362.8$296.2 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $372.1$308.0 million outstanding as of OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2017.
In May 2017, as a result of the Company's ongoing equipment inventory reduction and related reduction in floorplan financing needs, the Company provided notice to Wells Fargo of its election to reduce the maximum credit amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement from an aggregate $275.0 million to an aggregate $200.0 million, comprised of a $70.0 million reduction in the Floorplan Payable Line, from $210.0 million to $140.0 million, and a $5.0 million reduction in the Working Capital Line, from $65.0 million to $60.0 million.
Our equipment inventory turnover was 1.11.6 for the four quarters ended OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 compared to 1.31.2 for the four quarters ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015. While2016. The improvement in our equipment inventories, including amounts classified as held for sale, decreased 28.2%inventory turnover was driven by a 24.3% reduction in equipment inventory from October 31, 2015 to OctoberJuly 31, 2016 theto July 31, 2017; however, this decrease in turnover was the result of thepartially offset by lower equipment sales in the four-quarter period ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2017. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, increaseddecreased to 27.6%30.1% as of OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 from 24.8%41.1% as of January 31, 2016.2017.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our operating activities, including the purchase of inventories and providing for other working capital needs, meeting our debt service requirements, making payments due under our various leasing arrangements, funding capital expenditures, including rental fleet assets, and, from time to time, opportunistically repurchasing our outstanding Senior Convertible Notes.senior convertible notes. 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 $856$741.0 million as of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, are described in Note 4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, 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 Agreement as our adjusted excess availability plus eligible cash collateral (as defined)defined therein) was not less than 15% of the total amount of the credit facility as of OctoberJuly 31, 2016. If2017. While not expected to occur, 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 $74.4$66.9 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $198.8$60.4 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015.2016. Net cash provided by operating activities for the ninesix month periodperiods ending OctoberJuly 31, 2017 and 2016 was primarily the result of decreased inventories levels, but partially offset by a reduction in our manufacturer floorplan payables. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ending October 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to a changing mix of manufacturer versus non-manufacturer floorplan financing, and other changes in which we increased our outstanding borrowings under our manufacturer financing facilities and decreased our amount outstanding under our non-manufacturer facilities.working capital.
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-GAAPadjusted cash flow used by operating activities was $19.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities was $34.4 million and $32.9$1.1 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20162016. The decrease in adjusted cash flow is primarily the result of a higher level of seasonal stocking of new equipment inventories in the first six months of fiscal 2018 and 2015, respectively.the impact of cash generated from the

Cash Flow Used For Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $7.0$15.4 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, compared to net cash used for investing activities of $0.4$3.6 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015.2016. 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 $104.6$47.6 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20162017 compared to net cash used for financing activities of $246.9$95.4 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015.2016. For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, net cash used for financing activities was the result of paying down our non-manufacturer floorplan payables, and the $46.0use of $19.3 million of cash used to repurchase Senior Convertible Notes.senior convertible notes, but partially offset by increased net borrowings under our working capital line under our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. We may, from time to time, continue to repurchase our Senior Convertible Notessenior convertible notes depending on prevailing market conditions, our available liquidity and other factors. SuchThese repurchases may be material to our consolidated financial statements. For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2015,2016, net cash used for financing activities primarily resulted from the aforementioned change in financing mix, in which we increased our outstanding borrowings under our manufacturer financing facilities and decreased our amount outstanding underpaying down our non-manufacturer facilities, as well as an overall net reductionfloorplan payables and the use of long-term debt.$25.0 million to repurchase senior convertible notes.
Non-GAAPAdjusted 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 thean adjusted cash flow analysismeasure in the evaluation of our equipment inventory and inventory flooring needs.needs, which we refer to as "Adjusted Cash Flow." 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
Adjusted Cash Flow 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 decreased to 30.1% as of July 31, 2017 from 41.1% as of January 31, 2017, and increased to 27.6%26.1% as of OctoberJuly 31, 2016 from 24.8% as of January 31, 2016, and increased to 23.8% as of October 31, 2015 from 18.7% as of January 31, 2015.2016. 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
Adjusted Cash Flow 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.measure. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP cash flow provided by operating activitiesAdjusted Cash Flow is relevant and useful to our investors because it provides information on activities we consider to be the normal operationsoperation of our business, regardless of financing source and level of financing for our equipment inventory.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, 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.

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 OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, 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 $1.7$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 $1.7$2.0 million. At OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, we had floorplan payables of $372.1$308.0 million, of which approximately $157.8$169.7 million was variable-rate floorplan payable $114.2and $138.3 million was non-interest bearing and $100.0 million was effectively fixed rate floorplan payable due to our interest rate swap instrument.bearing. In addition, at OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, we had total long-term debt, including our Senior Convertible Notes,senior convertible notes, of $128.6$120.1 million, of which $13.9$26.0 million was variable-rate debt and $114.7$94.1 million was fixed rate debt.
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 OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, 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 OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2017, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $4.7$2.5 million of net monetary assets denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). We have attempted to minimize our net monetary asset position in Ukraine 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, 20162017, as supplemented in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2017, 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.
