BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the nine -month period ended October 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 . The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2015 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, 2015 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 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. Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”) The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic EPS were computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS were computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential 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 89,000 and 104,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. There were approximately 191,000 and 219,000 stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , 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 the denominator for basic and diluted EPS: Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands, except per share data) (in thousands, except per share data) Basic Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,129 20,994 21,093 20,977 Plus: Incremental Shares From Assumed Exercise of Stock Options 89 108 — — Diluted Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,218 21,102 21,093 20,977 Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic $ 0.16 $ 0.12 $ (0.13 ) $ (0.22 ) Earnings (Loss) per Share - Diluted $ 0.16 $ 0.11 $ (0.13 ) $ (0.22 ) Recent Accounting Guidance In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2018, and will employ one of the two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and provide related footnote disclosures, codified in ASC 205-40, Going Concern . The guidance provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The Company will adopt this guidance for the year-ended January 31, 2017, and it will apply to each interim and annual period thereafter. Its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on debt issuance costs, codified in ASC 835-30, Imputation of Interest. The amended guidance changes the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs to be a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset. This guidance is effective for the Company on February 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. As of October 31, 2015, the Company had debt issuance costs associated with its senior convertible notes and lines of credit that are classified as noncurrent other assets, which upon adoption will be classified as a reduction from the respective liability balances. Its adoption will not have any impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. In July 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on accounting for 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. This guidance is effective for the Company on February 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on adjustments to provisional estimates used in accounting for business combinations, codified in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amended guidance requires an acquirer to recognize, in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, adjustments to provisional amounts and the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amended guidance also requires presentation of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date, either separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. This guidance is effective for the Company on February 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Its adoption will not have any impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. In November 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes, codified in ASC 740, Income Taxes . The amended guidance requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. This guidance is effective for the Company on February 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. As of October 31, 2015, the Company had deferred taxes that are classified as current assets and noncurrent liabilities, which upon adoption will be presented as a net amount and classified as noncurrent in its consolidated balance sheets. Its adoption will not have any impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. |
