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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2017 . The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2016 was derived from the audited financial statements for the Company for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC. 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. 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. 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, 2016 2015 2016 2015 (in thousands, except per share data) (in thousands, except per share data) Basic Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,218 21,129 21,208 21,093 Plus: Incremental Shares From Assumed Exercise of Stock Options 51 89 — — Diluted Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,269 21,218 21,208 21,093 Anti-Dilutive Shares Excluded From Diluted Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding: Stock Options 141,000 89,000 146,000 191,000 Shares Underlying Senior Convertible Notes (conversion price of $43.17) 2,217 3,474 2,217 3,474 Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic $ 0.01 $ 0.16 $ (0.27 ) $ (0.13 ) Earnings (Loss) per Share - Diluted $ 0.01 $ 0.16 $ (0.27 ) $ (0.13 ) Recent Accounting Guidance In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance has been amended on various occasions and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2018, and will employ one of the two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and provide related footnote disclosures, codified in ASC 205-40, Going Concern . The guidance provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The Company will adopt this guidance for the year-ended January 31, 2017, and it will apply to each interim and annual period thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on accounting for the measurement of inventory, codified in ASC 330, Inventory. The amended guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2017. Under the current guidance for measuring inventory, the Company recognizes lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments using a definition of market value as net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin. Upon implementation of the new authoritative guidance, market is defined solely as net realizable value. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842, Leases. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company has not determined the potential effects adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on stock-based compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amended guidance changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2017. The manner of application varies by the various provisions of the guidance, with certain provisions applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach, while others are applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
