DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ||
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Business | ||
Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Titan or the Company) are leading manufacturers of wheels, tires and undercarriage systems and components for off-highway vehicles used in the agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer segments. Titan manufactures both wheels and tires for the majority of these market applications, allowing the Company to provide the value-added service of delivering complete wheel and tire assemblies. The Company offers a broad range of products that are manufactured in relatively short production runs to meet the specifications of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and/or the requirements of aftermarket customers. | ||
Principles of consolidation | ||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which Titan does not own a majority interest and Titan has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates the Voltyre-Prom subsidiary for which it acts as operating partner. | ||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||
The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. | ||
Inventories | ||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 2014, approximately 11% of the Company's inventories were valued under the last-in, first out (LIFO) method. The majority of steel material inventory in North America is accounted for under the LIFO method. The remaining inventories were valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Market value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory. | ||
Deferred financing costs | ||
Deferred financing costs are costs incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facility, 6.875% senior secured notes due 2020 (senior secured notes due 2020) and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 (convertible notes). The deferred financing costs associated with each of the debt facilities are being amortized over the life of the debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the debt facilities approximates the effective interest rate method. | ||
Fixed assets | ||
Property, plant and equipment have been recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets: | ||
Years | ||
Building and improvements | 25 - 40 | |
Machinery and equipment | 20-Jul | |
Tools, dies and molds | 9-Feb | |
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss on disposition is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||
Interest is capitalized on fixed asset projects which are constructed over a period of time. The amount of interest capitalized is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The interest rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. | ||
Fair value of financial instruments | ||
The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The senior secured notes due 2020 and convertible notes are carried at cost of $400.0 million and $60.2 million at December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2020 at December 31, 2014, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $352.0 million. | ||
Impairment of fixed assets | ||
The Company reviews fixed assets to assess recoverability from future operations whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Impairment losses are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. | ||
Equity method investments | ||
The Company had an equity method investment of $43.5 million in Wheels India Limited as of December 31, 2014, representing a 34.2% ownership. This equity method investment is included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The value of this investment based on the December 31, 2014 market price was $59.1 million. The Company assesses the carrying value of its equity method investments whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Investment write-downs, if necessary, are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. These write-downs, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. | ||
Foreign currency translation | ||
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated to United States currency in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||
Impairment of goodwill | ||
The Company reviews goodwill to assess recoverability from future operations during the fourth quarter of each annual reporting period, and whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a noncash charge for the impairment of goodwill of $36.6 million on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis. The charge included $11.4 million of earthmoving/construction goodwill related to the acquisition of Titan Australia; $9.6 million of agricultural goodwill related to the acquisition of the Latin America farm tire business; and $15.6 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The Voltyre-Prom goodwill included $11.0 million in the agricultural segment, $2.6 million in the earthmoving/construction segment, and $2.0 million in the consumer segment. The Company had no remaining goodwill after the impairment. See Note 10 for additional information. | ||
Revenue recognition | ||
The Company records sales revenue when products are shipped to customers and both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Provisions are established for sales returns and uncollectible accounts based on historical experience. Should trends change, adjustments would be necessary to the estimated provisions. | ||
Cost of sales | ||
Cost of sales is comprised primarily of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of the Company’s products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into a finished product. Cost of sales also includes all purchasing, receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and related distribution costs. | ||
Selling, general and administrative expense | ||
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is comprised primarily of sales commissions, marketing expense, selling and administrative wages, information system costs, legal fees, bank charges, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets, and other administrative items. | ||
Research and development expense | ||
Research and development (R&D) expenses are expensed as incurred. R&D costs were $14.0 million, $11.2 million and $7.1 million for the years of 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Increased R&D is primarily attributable to the investment in LSW as a cornerstone of the Company's strategy. | ||
Advertising | ||
Advertising expenses are included in SG&A expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, and approximately $2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||
Warranty costs | ||
The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship on its products in all market segments. The provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period when such costs become probable and is based on past warranty experience. See Note 12 for additional information. | ||
Income taxes | ||
Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset positions to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. | ||
Earnings per share | ||
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing consolidated net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing adjusted consolidated net earnings by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of outstanding options under the Company’s stock compensation plans and the conversion of the Company’s convertible notes. | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | ||
The Company considers short-term debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company's U.S. banks is not fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company had $71.4 million and $121.7 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company's cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured. | ||
Environmental liabilities | ||
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. | ||
Stock-based compensation | ||
At December 31, 2014, the Company has one stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 30. Compensation expense for stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period at the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. The Company granted 59,000; 60,000; and 45,000 stock options in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company granted 10,000; 225,750; and 293,000 restricted stock awards in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||
Reclassification | ||
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. | ||
Use of estimates | ||
The policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and require management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and assumptions. |

MINING ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITEDOWN [Abstract] | |
Impairment of fixed assets | Impairment of fixed assets |
The Company reviews fixed assets to assess recoverability from future operations whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Impairment losses are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. | |
MINING ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITEDOWN | |
In 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment and inventory writedowns of $23.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The impairment was recorded on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. Mining products are included in the Company's earthmoving/construction segment. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, the company tested mining related assets for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The fair value of the mining equipment was determined using a cost and market approach. The inventory writedowns were to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value. |

Acquisition of Voltyre-Prom | ||||||||||||
On October 4, 2013, Titan, in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), closed the acquisition of an 85% interest in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia, for approximately $94.1 million, which includes the assumption of debt. Titan is acting as operating partner with responsibility for Voltyre-Prom's daily operations on behalf of the consortium of which Titan holds a 30% interest. This acquisition expanded Titan's footprint into the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region. The fair value of the consideration transferred and noncontrolling interests exceeded the fair value of the identified assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Therefore, goodwill of $21.0 million was recorded on the transaction at the time of acquisition, which was not deductible for tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $15.6 million for Voltyre-Prom which removed all goodwill related to this acquisition. The difference from the amount originally recorded was due to foreign currency translation. See Note 10 for additional information. An initial noncontrolling interest of $14.5 million, representing the 15% not owned by the partnership, was recorded at the acquisition date. In the first half of 2014, the partnership of Titan, OEP, and RDIF purchased an additional 15% to bring the total Voltyre-Prom ownership to 100% for the partnership. | ||||||||||||

Acquisition of Titan Europe Plc. | ||||||||||||
On October 31, 2012, Titan acquired over 97% of the outstanding stock of Titan Europe Plc (Titan Europe) and in December 2012, the remaining 3% interest was acquired. Titan Europe is an international engineering group which designs and manufactures wheels, undercarriage components and assemblies for tracked and wheeled "off-road vehicles". The Titan Europe acquisition allowed the Company to expand its global presence and expand its product line. Prior to the acquisition, Titan held a 21.8% ownership percentage in Titan Europe. Titan Europe shareholders received one share of new Titan common stock for every 11 Titan Europe shares held. A total of 6,257,051 new shares of Titan were issued with a value of $121.8 million. In addition, Titan paid cash of $5.6 million for option payouts and partial shares. Titan's previous investment in Titan Europe had a fair value on the acquisition date of $31.7 million based on Titan Europe's stock price on the AIM market in London. Total consideration including the value of stock issued, cash payments, and the fair value of previously held Titan Europe shares totaled $159.1 million. A gain of $26.7 million was recorded on Titan's previously held interest in Titan Europe which was recorded as Noncash Titan Europe Plc gain in the consolidated statement of operations. This gain was previously recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). | ||||||||||||

The purchase price allocation has changed from that reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Titan Europe's wheel manufacturing facility in Finale Emilia, Italy experienced damage from an earthquake in May 2012, prior to Titan's acquisition of Titan Europe. The plant was closed for production during initial remedial work. This resulted in a limited transfer of production to other facilities within Titan Europe as well as sourcing product from facilities in the U.S. owned by Titan and competitors. In the second quarter of 2013, Titan received a final insurance settlement payment of $38.7 million. As a result of this information, Titan has recorded an earthquake insurance receivable of $17.0 million, decreased the current deferred income taxes by $5.3 million, and recorded a bargain purchase gain of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||

The Company reviews goodwill to assess recoverability from future operations during the fourth quarter of each annual reporting period, and whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. At the time of the review, the Company determines if it will first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. | ||||||||||||||||
When the two-step goodwill impairment test is performed, the Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future reporting unit discounted cash flows. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considers current and projected future levels of income as well as business trends and economic conditions. When the Company’s estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step of the impairment analysis is performed. In this second step, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. | ||||||||||||||||
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the recoverability of all goodwill was evaluated by estimating future discounted cash flows. The Company recorded a noncash charge for the impairment of goodwill in the amount of $36.6 million on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis. The charge included $11.4 million of earthmoving/construction goodwill related to the acquisition of Titan Australia; $9.6 million of agricultural goodwill related to the acquisition of the Latin America farm tire business; and $15.6 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The Voltyre-Prom goodwill included $11.0 million in the agricultural segment, $2.6 million in the earthmoving/construction segment, and $2.0 million in the consumer segment. | ||||||||||||||||
The key factor leading to the impairment of the Australia goodwill was the continued downturn in the mining industry. During 2014, the price of iron ore declined over 40%. The extended downturn led to changes in assumptions regarding future cash flows which culminated in the goodwill impairment. The key factors leading to the impairment of the Voltyre-Prom goodwill were the changes in the political and economic factors which occurred in Russia during 2014. The changes including devaluation of the Russian ruble and increases in interest rates accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2014 which led to changes in assumptions regarding future cash flows which resulted in goodwill impairment. The key factors leading to the impairment of the Latin American goodwill were a softening of the agricultural tire market and the Brazilian economy as a whole. The slowdown which began in the third quarter accelerated in the fourth quarter. As a result of the slowdown there was competitive pricing pressure impacting both sales and profits. These changes led to changes in assumptions regarding future cash flows which resulted in goodwill impairment. | ||||||||||||||||
As a result of the Australian and Voltyre-Prom goodwill impairment and the contributing factors, the Company tested the Australian and Voltyre-Prom intangibles for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Australian intangibles totaled $12.8 million at December 31, 2014 and consist primarily of customer relationships. The Voltyre-Prom intangibles totaled $8.0 million at December 31, 2014 and consist of trademarks. No impairment was indicated. | ||||||||||||||||

The Company's 2014 income tax benefit and rate differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the requirement of a valuation allowance in certain companies and the non-deductible goodwill impairment. The 2013 effective rate was impacted by a change in Italian law making the insurance proceeds from the earthquake non-taxable. In addition, as a result of the reassessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets due to Italian law change, a valuation allowance was established on the Italy net deferred tax assets. Other items contributing to the rate difference are state income tax expense, unrecognized tax benefits, foreign earnings, domestic production activities deduction, and tax deductible expenses related to the convertible notes repurchase. | ||||||||||||
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 certain tax loss carryforwards of $55.6 million and $41.9 million are available with $2.2 million expiring from 2015 through 2019 and $53.4 million expiring after 2019. At December 31, 2014, a valuation allowance of $45.2 million had been established. The majority of the valuation allowance is related to deferred tax assets on net operating losses in Italy, state net operating losses in the US, and net operating losses in Australia. At December 31, 2013, a valuation allowance of $37.2 million had been established, of which a majority was to offset the net operating loss carryforwards due to uncertainty of future income in the relevant taxing jurisdictions. | ||||||||||||
At December 31, 2014, U.S. income taxes have not been provided on approximately $122.5 million of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. These earnings, which are considered to be invested indefinitely, would become subject to income tax if they were remitted as dividends, were lent to the Company or a U.S. affiliate, or if the Company were to sell its stock in the subsidiaries. The amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is insignificant. | ||||||||||||
The Company intends to file a "check the box" election for Titan Pneus Do Brazil during the first quarter of 2015. This election will change the tax status of this company from a disregarded entity to a regarded corporation for U.S. tax purposes. The tax impacts of this election as well as the effective date are still being evaluated. | ||||||||||||
The Company has applied the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes” related to unrecognized tax benefits. No adjustment was made to retained earnings in adopting these provisions in 2007. At December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the unrecognized tax benefits were $18.1 million, $17.8 million, and $14.3 million respectively. As of December 31, 2014, $12.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits would affect income tax expense if the tax benefits were recognized. The majority of the accrual in unrecognized tax benefits relates to potential state tax exposures. Although management cannot predict with any degree of certainty the timing of ultimate resolution of matters under review by various taxing jurisdictions, it is unlikely that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance will change significantly within the next twelve months. | ||||||||||||
Titan has identified the United States, the State of Illinois, Italy, United Kingdom, and Brazil as “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations for years 2010 to 2014. Various state and foreign income tax returns are also subject to examination. Generally, tax years 2011 and forward remain open under state statutes of limitations and tax years 2009 and forward remain open under foreign statutes of limitations. | ||||||||||||

The Company invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes in an attempt to maximize returns while minimizing risk. These asset classes include U.S. equities, fixed income, cash and cash equivalents, and international equities. The investment objectives are to provide for the growth and preservation of plan assets on a long-term basis through investments in: (i) investment grade securities that provide investment returns that meet or exceed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and (ii) investment grade fixed income securities that provide investment returns that meet or exceed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The U.S. equities asset category included the Company’s common stock in the amount of $1.8 million (approximately two percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2014, and $3.1 million (approximately four percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
The fair value of money market funds, stock, bonds, U.S. government securities and mutual funds are determined based on valuation for identical instruments in active markets. The fair value of common and collective trusts is determined based on the fair value of the underlying instruments. | ||||||||||||||||
The long-term rate of return for plan assets is determined using a weighted-average of long-term historical approximate returns on cash and cash equivalents, fixed income securities, and equity securities considering the anticipated investment allocation within the plans. The expected return on plan assets is anticipated to be 7.4% over the long-term. This rate assumes long-term historical returns of approximately 9% for equities and approximately 6% for fixed income securities using the plans’ target allocation percentages. Professional investment firms, none of which are Titan employees, manage the plan assets. | ||||||||||||||||
Although the 2015 minimum pension funding calculations are not finalized, the Company estimates those funding requirements will be approximately $6 million. | ||||||||||||||||

One U.S. plan is for the benefit of substantially all employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining arrangement. Titan provides a 25% matching contribution in the form of the Company’s common stock on the first 6% of the employee’s contribution in this plan. The Company issued 39,935 shares, 35,207 shares and 27,562 shares of treasury stock in connection with this 401(k) plan during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Expenses to the Company related to this common stock matching contribution were $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The other three U.S. 401(k) plans are for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and do not include a Company matching contribution. Expenses related to foreign defined contribution plans were $4.7 million, $4.1 million and $0.8 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |

The Company currently uses treasury shares to satisfy any stock option exercises. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 1.5 million shares of treasury stock. | |||||||||||||
Valuation Assumptions | |||||||||||||
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using option pricing models is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The expected term of options represents the period of time over which options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on historical experience. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock calculated over the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant. | |||||||||||||

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||
Segment Information | SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION | |||||||||||||||
The Company has aggregated its operating units into reportable segments based on its three customer markets: agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer. These segments are based on the information used by the chief executive officer to make certain operating decisions, allocate portions of capital expenditures and assess segment performance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment external revenues, expenses and income from operations are determined on the basis of the results of operations of operating units of manufacturing facilities. Segment assets are generally determined on the basis of the tangible assets located at such operating units’ manufacturing facilities and the intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of such operating units. However, certain operating units’ goodwill and property, plant and equipment balances are carried at the corporate level. | ||||||||||||||||
Titan is organized primarily on the basis of products being included in three marketing segments, with each reportable segment including wheels, tires, wheel/tire assemblies and undercarriage systems and components. | ||||||||||||||||

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ||
Principles of consolidation | Principles of consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which Titan does not own a majority interest and Titan has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates the Voltyre-Prom subsidiary for which it acts as operating partner. | ||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |
The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. | ||
Inventories | Inventories | |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 2014, approximately 11% of the Company's inventories were valued under the last-in, first out (LIFO) method. The majority of steel material inventory in North America is accounted for under the LIFO method. The remaining inventories were valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Market value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory. | ||
Deferred financing costs | Deferred financing costs | |
Deferred financing costs are costs incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facility, 6.875% senior secured notes due 2020 (senior secured notes due 2020) and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 (convertible notes). The deferred financing costs associated with each of the debt facilities are being amortized over the life of the debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the debt facilities approximates the effective interest rate method. | ||
Fixed assets | Fixed assets | |
Property, plant and equipment have been recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets: | ||
Years | ||
Building and improvements | 25 - 40 | |
Machinery and equipment | 20-Jul | |
Tools, dies and molds | 9-Feb | |
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss on disposition is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||
Interest is capitalized on fixed asset projects which are constructed over a period of time. The amount of interest capitalized is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The interest rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. | ||
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments | |
The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The senior secured notes due 2020 and convertible notes are carried at cost of $400.0 million and $60.2 million at December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2020 at December 31, 2014, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $352.0 million. | ||
Impairment of fixed assets | Impairment of fixed assets | |
The Company reviews fixed assets to assess recoverability from future operations whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Impairment losses are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. | ||
MINING ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITEDOWN | ||
In 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment and inventory writedowns of $23.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The impairment was recorded on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. Mining products are included in the Company's earthmoving/construction segment. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, the company tested mining related assets for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The fair value of the mining equipment was determined using a cost and market approach. The inventory writedowns were to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value. | ||
Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Equity method investments | |
The Company had an equity method investment of $43.5 million in Wheels India Limited as of December 31, 2014, representing a 34.2% ownership. This equity method investment is included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The value of this investment based on the December 31, 2014 market price was $59.1 million. The Company assesses the carrying value of its equity method investments whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Investment write-downs, if necessary, are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. These write-downs, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. | ||
Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation | |
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated to United States currency in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||
Impairment of goodwill | Impairment of goodwill | |
The Company reviews goodwill to assess recoverability from future operations during the fourth quarter of each annual reporting period, and whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a noncash charge for the impairment of goodwill of $36.6 million on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis. The charge included $11.4 million of earthmoving/construction goodwill related to the acquisition of Titan Australia; $9.6 million of agricultural goodwill related to the acquisition of the Latin America farm tire business; and $15.6 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The Voltyre-Prom goodwill included $11.0 million in the agricultural segment, $2.6 million in the earthmoving/construction segment, and $2.0 million in the consumer segment. The Company had no remaining goodwill after the impairment. See Note 10 for additional information. | ||
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition | |
The Company records sales revenue when products are shipped to customers and both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Provisions are established for sales returns and uncollectible accounts based on historical experience. Should trends change, adjustments would be necessary to the estimated provisions. | ||
Cost of sales | Cost of sales | |
Cost of sales is comprised primarily of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of the Company’s products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into a finished product. Cost of sales also includes all purchasing, receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and related distribution costs. | ||
Selling, general and administrative expense | Selling, general and administrative expense | |
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is comprised primarily of sales commissions, marketing expense, selling and administrative wages, information system costs, legal fees, bank charges, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets, and other administrative items | ||
Research and development expense | Research and development expense | |
Research and development (R&D) expenses are expensed as incurred. R&D costs were $14.0 million, $11.2 million and $7.1 million for the years of 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Increased R&D is primarily attributable to the investment in LSW as a cornerstone of the Company's strategy. | ||
Advertising | Advertising | |
Advertising expenses are included in SG&A expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, and approximately $2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||
Warranty costs | Warranty costs | |
The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship on its products in all market segments. The provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period when such costs become probable and is based on past warranty experience. See Note 12 for additional information. | ||
Income taxes | Income taxes | |
Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset positions to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. | ||
Earnings per share | ||
Earnings per share | ||
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing consolidated net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing adjusted consolidated net earnings by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of outstanding options under the Company’s stock compensation plans and the conversion of the Company’s convertible notes. | ||
Cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents | |
The Company considers short-term debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company's U.S. banks is not fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company had $71.4 million and $121.7 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company's cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured. | ||
Environmental liabilities | Environmental liabilities | |
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated | ||
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation | |
At December 31, 2014, the Company has one stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 30. Compensation expense for stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period at the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date.
