NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s agriculture, construction and international customers. Therefore, operating results for the three-months ended April 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. The information contained in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year then ended. These condensed 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, 2024 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, Europe, and Australia. The Company’s North American stores are located in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Internationally, the Company's European stores are located in Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, and Ukraine and the Company's Australian stores are located in New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria in Southeastern Australia.
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, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, or indefinite lived 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 subsidiaries. All material accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional income tax disclosures in the rate reconciliation table for federal, state and foreign income taxes, in addition to more details about the reconciling items in some categories when items meet a certain quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted new rules that will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the rules will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial metrics in their audited financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the rules and the impact on its future consolidated statements.

Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue
Unbilled receivables from contracts with customers amounted to $30.1 million and $22.3 million as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. This increase in unbilled receivables is primarily the result of a seasonal increase in the volume of our service transactions in which we recognize revenue as our work is performed and prior to customer invoicing.
Deferred revenue from contracts with customers amounted to $83.8 million and $114.6 million as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. Our deferred revenue most often increases in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year due to a higher level of customer down payments or prepayments and longer time periods between customer payment and delivery of the equipment asset, and the related recognition of equipment revenue, prior to its seasonal use. During the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $76.7 million and $66.4 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, respectively. No material amount of revenue was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2024 or 2023 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLES
The Company provides an allowance for expected credit losses on its nonrental receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics as shown in the table below.
Trade and unbilled receivables from contracts with customers have credit risk and the allowance is determined by applying expected credit loss percentages to aging categories based on historical experience that are updated each quarter. The rates may also be adjusted to the extent future events are expected to differ from historical results. In addition, the allowance is adjusted based on information obtained by continued monitoring of individual customer credit.
Short-term receivables from finance companies, other receivables due from manufacturers, and other receivables have not historically resulted in any credit losses to the Company. These receivables are short-term in nature and deemed to be of good credit quality and have no need for any allowance for expected credit losses. Management continually monitors these receivables and should information be obtained that identifies potential credit risk, an adjustment to the allowance would be made if deemed appropriate.
Trade and unbilled receivables from rental contracts are primarily in the United States and are specifically excluded from the accounting guidance in determining an allowance for expected losses. The Company provides an allowance for these receivables based on historical experience and using credit information obtained from continued monitoring of customer accounts.

NOTE 8 - FLOORPLAN PAYABLE/LINES OF CREDIT
As of April 30, 2024, the Company had floorplan and working capital lines of credit totaling $1.4 billion, which is primarily comprised of three floorplan lines of credit: (i) a $875.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, (ii) a $275.0 million floorplan line of credit and a $75.0 million working capital line of credit under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Bank Syndicate Agreement"), and (iii) a $80.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance LLC.
The Company's outstanding balances of floorplan lines of credit as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| April 30, 2024 | | January 31, 2024 |
| (in thousands) |
CNH Industrial | $ | 672,905 | | | $ | 567,677 | |
Bank Syndicate Agreement Floorplan Loan | 194,550 | | | 162,845 | |
DLL Finance | 46,394 | | | 38,528 | |
Other outstanding balances with manufacturers and non-manufacturers | 111,150 | | | 124,796 | |
| $ | 1,024,999 | | | $ | 893,846 | |
As of April 30, 2024, the interest-bearing U.S. floorplan payables carried a variable interest rate with a range of 7.19% to 10.68% compared to a range of 7.22% to 10.70% as of January 31, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, foreign floorplan payables carried a variable interest rate with a range of 5.26% to 8.25%, compared to a range of 5.24% to 8.27% as of January 31, 2024, on multiple lines of credit. The Company had non-interest-bearing floorplan payables of $546.8 million and $507.7 million, as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively.
On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Bank Syndicate Agreement") with a group of banks, which replaced the previous Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Existing Credit Facility") the Company had entered into in April 2020. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured credit facility in an amount of up to $500.0 million, consisting of $395.0 million floorplan facility and $105.0 million revolving operating line which can be used by both the U.S. Borrowers and the Australian Borrower. The maximum aggregate facility for the Australian Borrower cannot exceed $100.0 million and the U.S. Borrowers aggregate facility cannot exceed $485.0 million. The outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement matures on May 17, 2029. The amounts available under the Bank Syndicate Agreement are subject to borrowing base calculations and reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit and certain reserves. The Bank Syndicate Agreement includes a variable interest rate on outstanding balances, charges a 0.25% non-usage fee on the average monthly unused amount, and requires monthly payments of accrued interest.
For the U.S. borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company elects at the time of any advance to choose a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Rate Loan. The SOFR Rate is based upon one month, three month or six-month SOFR plus an adjustment (0.11448% for one-month term; 0.26161% for three-month term; and 0.42826% for six-month term), as chosen by the Company, but in no event shall the SOFR Rate be less than zero. The Base Rate is the greater of (a) the prime rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Bank of America; (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (c) one-month SOFR plus 1.0%, but in no event shall the Base Rate be less than zero. The effective interest rate on the Company’s borrowings is then calculated by adding an applicable margin to the SOFR Rate or Base Rate. The applicable margin is determined based on excess availability as determined under the Credit Agreement and ranges from 0.75% to 1.25% for Base Rate Loans and 1.75% to 2.25% for SOFR Rate Loans. The applicable margins for the U.S. loans under the Bank Syndicate Agreement are 0.25% higher than the margins under the Existing Credit Facility.
For the Australian borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company elects at the time of the advance to choose an Australian Base Rate Loan or an Australian Bill Rate Loan. The Australian Bill Rate is based on the Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate with an equivalent term of the loan, but in no event shall the Australian Bill Rate be less than zero. The Australian Base Rate is the sum of 1% plus the interbank overnight cash rate calculated by the Reserve Bank of Australia (but in no event shall the Australian cash rate be less than zero). The effective interest rate on the Australian’s borrowings is then calculated by adding an applicable margin to the Australian Bill Rate or the Australian Base Rate. The applicable margin is determined based on excess availability as determined under the Credit Agreement and ranges from 1.75% to 2.25%.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.
From time to time, 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 Company's foreign currency forward contracts generally have three-month maturities, maturing on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The notional value of outstanding foreign currency contracts was $26.6 million and $25.3 million as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively.
As of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments was not material. Derivative instruments recognized as assets are recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and derivative instruments recognized as liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table sets forth the gains and losses recognized in income from the Company’s derivative instruments for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023. Gains and losses are recognized in Interest and other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Fiscal 2024
On October 2, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of O’Connors. The acquired business consisted of 15 Case IH dealership locations and one parts center in the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria in Southeastern Australia. O'Connors has been a successful Case IH complex, and our acquisition of O'Connors provides the Company the opportunity to expand our international presence into the large, well-established Australian agricultural market. Total cash consideration paid for O'Connors was $66.5 million, which was financed through available cash resources and line of credit availability. The 15 O’Connors stores locations are included within our Australia segment. The Company incurred $1.1 million in acquisition related expenses in connection with this acquisition, which are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2024.
The Company completed acquisitions that were not considered material, individually or collectively, to the overall consolidated financial statements during the year ended January 31, 2024. These acquisitions consisted of five locations of Pioneer Farm Equipment Co. on February 1, 2023, in the state of Idaho, one location of Midwest Truck Parts Inc. on June 1, 2023, in the state Minnesota and one location of Scott Supply Co. on January 10, 2024, in the state of South Dakota, all of which are included in the Agriculture segment. The Company also acquired MAREP GmbH on May 1, 2023, which included two locations in Germany and is included in the Europe segment. These acquisitions have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the respective acquisition.
Purchase Price Allocation
Each of the above acquisitions has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the Company to estimate the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The recognition of goodwill in the above business combination arose from the acquisition of an assembled workforce and anticipated synergies expected to be realized. The acquired customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over a useful life of seven years. The distribution rights assets are indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company estimated the fair value of these intangible assets using a multi-period excess earnings model, an income approach.
Pro Forma Information
The following summarized unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations information for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, assumes that the O'Connors acquisition occurred as of February 1, 2023. The Company prepared the following summarized unaudited pro forma financial results for comparative purposes only. The summarized unaudited pro forma information may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred had the Company completed the acquisition as of February 1, 2023 or that will be attained in the future.

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 condensed 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 fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.
Overview
We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States, Australia, 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 CaseIH Agriculture equipment in the world, one of the largest retail dealers of Case Construction equipment in North America and one of the largest retail dealers of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the United States. We operate our business through four reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction, Europe and Australia. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, service, and equipment rental and other activities.
Demand for agricultural equipment and, to a lesser extent, parts and service support, is impacted by agricultural commodity prices and net farm income. Based on February 2024 U.S. Department of Agriculture publications, net farm income is estimated to decrease by 25.5% in calendar year 2024, as compared to calendar year 2023, but remain in line with the average inflation adjusted net farm income for the previous 20 years.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our net income was $9.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to a fiscal 2024 first quarter net income of $27.0 million, or $1.19 per diluted share. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
•Gross profit margin decreased to 19.4% for first quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to 20.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily the result of a normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply has caught up with demand.
•Floorplan interest expense increased by $5.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, due to an increase in interest bearing inventory.
•Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased by 10.4% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The revenue increase was led by additional revenue resulting from the acquisition of O'Connors, in October 2023.
Acquisitions
Fiscal 2024
J.J. O’Connor & Sons Pty. Ltd. Acquisition
On October 2, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of O’Connors. The acquired business consisted of 15 CaseIH dealership locations and one parts center in the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria in Southeastern Australia. O'Connors has been a successful Case IH complex, and our acquisition of this entity provides the Company with the opportunity to expand our international presence into the large, well-established Australian agriculture market. Total cash consideration paid for O'Connors was $66.5 million, which was financed through available cash resources and line of credit availability. The 15 O’Connors store locations are included within our new Australia segment.
ERP Transition
The Company is in the process of converting to a new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") application. The new ERP application is expected to provide data-driven and mobile-enabled sales and support tools to improve employee efficiency and deliver an enhanced customer experience. The Company has implemented a phased roll-out plan to integrate all of its domestic stores to the new ERP, which it plans to complete by the end of fiscal year 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since January 31, 2024.
Results of Operations
The results presented below include the operating results of any acquisition made during these periods, from the date of acquisition, as well as the operating results of any stores closed or divested during these periods, up to the date of the store closure. The period-to-period comparisons included below are not necessarily indicative of future results. Segment information is provided later in the 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 period in the current and preceding fiscal years. We do not distinguish between relocated or recently 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 this Results of Operations section.
Comparative financial data for each of our four sources of revenue are expressed below.

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 10.4% or $59.1 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2024 driven primarily due to the acquisition of O'Connors that was completed in October 2023. Same-store sales increased by 1.1%, driven by an increase of 4.3% by the Agriculture segment, which was partially offset by European same-store sales decrease of 15.5%.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 2.7% or $3.2 million, as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin declined to 19.4% in the current quarter from 20.8% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily the result of a normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply has caught up with demand.
Our Company-wide absorption rate — which is calculated by dividing our gross profit from sales of parts, service and rental fleet by our operating expenses, less commission expense on equipment sales, plus interest expense on floorplan payables and rental fleet debt — decreased to 71.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 83.5% during the same period last year, led by increased floorplan interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Our operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 21.9% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating expenses was led by additional operating expenses due to acquisitions that have taken place in the past year. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 14.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Other interest expense | (2,459) | | | (1,274) | | | 1,185 | | | 93.0 | % |
The change in interest and other income (expense) for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily the result of foreign currency fluctuations in the quarter, creating foreign currency losses for the first quarter fiscal 2025. The increase in floorplan interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to a higher level of interest-bearing inventory in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in other interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 is the result of an increased amount of long term debt outstanding resulting from real estate purchased as part of dealership acquisitions and purchases of previously leased facilities in fiscal 2024 as well as increased borrowing on our CNH Industrial revolver line of credit.

Provision for Income Taxes | $ | 3,345 | | | $ | 8,474 | | | $ | (5,129) | | | (60.5) | % |
Our effective tax rate was 26.2% and 23.9% for each of the three months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 were subject to various factors such as the impact of certain discrete items, mainly the vesting of share-based compensation and the mix of domestic and foreign income.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) model rules, issued under the OECD Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, introduce a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to multinational enterprise groups with consolidated financial statement revenue in excess of €750 million. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have already enacted tax legislation based on the GloBE rules, with some effective as early as January 1, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, we recognized a nominal income tax expense for Pillar Two GloBE minimum tax. The Company is continuously monitoring the evolving application of this legislation and assessing its potential impact on our future tax liability.

Agriculture
Agriculture segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 5.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The higher revenue was driven primarily by the increase in same-store sales in our Agriculture segment of 4.3%. Same-store sales was positively impacted by the availability of equipment, but was partially offset by softer demand for equipment purchases which is being negatively impacted by the expected decrease in net farm income.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $13.0 million compared to $24.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross profit is primarily the result of a normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply has caught up with demand.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was essentially flat compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Our Construction segment income before taxes was $0.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in segment results was led by increases in operating expenses and floorplan interest expense. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet decreased from 26.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to 21.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Dollar fleet utilization is calculated by dividing the rental revenue earned on our rental fleet by the average gross carrying value of our rental fleet (comprised of original equipment costs plus additional capitalized costs) for that period.
Europe
Europe segment revenue was $65.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $74.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in revenue was impacted by a lower demand, which was impacted by a decrease in global commodity prices and higher interest rates.
Our Europe segment income before income taxes was $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to segment income before income taxes of $6.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment pre-tax income was primarily the result of decreased equipment sales as noted above as well as gross profit margin normalization of equipment sales as supply has caught up with demand.
Australia
We entered into the Australian market in October 2023 with the O'Connor acquisition. Australia segment revenue for fiscal 2024 was $44.4 million. Our Australia segment loss before income taxes was $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
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, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to profit before income taxes of $0.4 million for the same period last year. The lower Shared Resources results were primarily driven by foreign currency fluctuations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our floorplan 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 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.

As of April 30, 2024, the Company had floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling $1.4 billion, which is primarily comprised of a $875.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, a $275.0 million floorplan payable line and a $75.0 million working capital line of credit under the Bank Syndicate Agreement, and a $80.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance.
Our equipment inventory turnover decreased from 3.0 times for the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2023 to 2.0 times for the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2024. The decrease in equipment turnover was attributable to an increase in equipment inventory over the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2024. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, decreased to 16.3% as of April 30, 2024 from 18.2% as of January 31, 2024.
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 funding acquisitions. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under our existing credit facilities will adequately provide for our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months.
As of April 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our CNH Industrial and DLL Finance credit agreements and we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Bank Syndicate Agreement as our adjusted excess availability plus eligible cash collateral (as defined therein) was not less than 15% of the lesser of (i) aggregate borrowing base and (ii) maximum credit amount as of April 30, 2024. While not expected to occur, if anticipated operating results were to 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 Used for Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $32.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025, compared to $77.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024. The change in net cash used for operating activities is primarily the result of timing and collections of accounts receivable, which was partially offset by lower net income for the first three months of fiscal 2025.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $12.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025, compared to $26.3 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily the result of the acquisitions of Pioneer Farm Equipment and MAREP in the first three months of fiscal 2024.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $43.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025 compared to $98.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of lower drawings on our non-manufacturer floorplan lines of credit in the first three months of fiscal 2025.
Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 30, 2024, 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. Therefore, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024, and in other materials filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and included in oral statements or other written statements made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements are statements based on future expectations and specifically may include, among other things, the impact of farm income levels on customer demand for agricultural equipment and services, the effectiveness and expected benefits of our new ERP system and the timing of the phased roll-out of the ERP system to the Company's domestic locations, the general market conditions of the agricultural and construction industries, equipment inventory levels, and our primary liquidity sources, and the adequacy of our capital resources and sources of liquidity. Any statements that are not based upon historical facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking statements. The words “potential,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. These forward-looking statements involve important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results or outcomes in the future and, accordingly, actual results or outcomes may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of the Russia -Ukraine conflict on our Ukrainian subsidiary, our ability to successfully integrate and realize growth opportunities and synergies in connection with the O'Connors acquisition, the risk that we have assumed unforeseen or other liabilities in connection with the O'Connors acquisition and the impact of those conditions and obligations imposed on us under the CaseIH dealer agreements entered into in connection with the Heartland companies acquisition for the commercial application equipment business, our substantial dependence on CNH Industrial, including CNH Industrial's ability to design, manufacture and allocate inventory to our stores in quantities necessary to satisfy our customer's demands, disruptions of supply chains and associated impacts on the Company's supply vendors and their ability to provide the Company with sufficient and timely inventory to meet customer demand, adverse market conditions in the agricultural and construction equipment industries, and those matters identified and discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to those matters, there may exist additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Other than as required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to update such risks and uncertainties or to publicly announce results of revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect future events or developments.
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 April 30, 2024, 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 $4.8 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 $4.8 million. At April 30, 2024, we had floorplan payables of $1.0 billion, of which approximately $478.2 million was variable-rate and $546.8 million was non-interest bearing. In addition, at April 30, 2024, we had total long-term debt, including finance lease obligations, of $120.1 million, primarily all of which 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 April 30, 2024, 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 April 30, 2024, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $0.9 million of net monetary liabilities 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 at times through borrowing in UAH which serves as a natural hedging instrument offsetting our net UAH denominated assets. Many of the currency and payment controls the National Bank of Ukraine imposed in February 2022, have been relaxed, making it more practicable to manage our UAH exposure. However, the continuation of the Russia/Ukraine conflict could lead to more significant UAH devaluations or more stringent payment controls in the future. The inability to fully manage our net monetary asset position and continued UAH devaluations for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse 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 on Form 10-Q, 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.
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 fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among other things, 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 business, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition to those factors, 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 or results of operations.
