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 nine-months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024. The segment formerly known as "International" has been updated to "Europe" as of October 31, 2023 and a fourth segment "Australia" will be added starting in the fourth quarter fiscal 2024 reporting, as a result of the Company's acquisition of J.J. O’Connor & Sons Pty. Ltd. ("O’Connors"), refer to Note 18 - Subsequent Event for further details. The information contained in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2023 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, 2023 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In September 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This new standard requires that the buyer in a supplier finance program discloses information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted. Entities must apply the amendments of this ASU retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented, with the exception of the amendment on disclosure of rollforward information, which entities only need to apply prospectively. On February 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-04 to our consolidated financial statements.
The Company has agreements with financial institutions to facilitate the purchase of inventory from designated suppliers under certain terms and conditions. Under these agreements, the Company receives extended payment terms and agrees to pay the financial institution a stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers.

Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue
Unbilled receivables from contracts with customers amounted to $33.0 million and $19.8 million as of October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, 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 $43.2 million and $118.1 million as of October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, 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 nine months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $118.0 million and $126.3 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022, respectively. No material amount of revenue was recognized during the nine months ended October 31, 2023 or 2022 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 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 as of October 31, 2023 was $4.0 million. There were no outstanding foreign currency contracts as of January 31, 2023.
As of October 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, 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 and nine months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 16 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged in legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention.

NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2, 2023, the Company, through a newly organized, wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Titan Machinery Holdings Australia Pty Ltd., ("Titan Australia") acquired all outstanding equity interests of O’Connors, for cash consideration of $62 million net of cash acquired. O’Connors consists of 15 CaseIH dealership locations and one parts center in the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria in Southeastern Australia. Founded in 1964, O’Connors has been a successful CaseIH complex, and our acquisition of O'Connors provides the Company the opportunity to expand our international presence into the large, well-established Australian market.
Each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries has fiscal quarters and a fiscal year-end that align with the calendar quarterly periods and year-end. Titan Australia also maintains fiscal quarters and a fiscal year-end that aligns with the calendar periods. The quarterly and annual financial statements of all of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s U.S. quarterly and annual fiscal periods that end on April 30th, July 31st, October 31st and January 31st. Accordingly, the October 2, 2023 foreign acquisition of O'Connors is a fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 transaction, and therefore no amounts were recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended October 31, 2023.
The acquisition of O'Connors 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 fair value of the consideration paid exceeded the preliminarily estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in the recognition of $48.5 million of intangible assets. The Company is in the process of completing an intangible asset valuation and is expected to have goodwill, distribution rights, and customer relationships as the primarily intangible assets. The valuation is expected to be completed by January 31, 2024. The entire goodwill amount will be assigned to the Australia segment and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All acquisition-related costs, which amounted to $1.1 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2023, have been expensed as incurred and recognized as operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Due to the limited time since the acquisition of O'Connors, the estimated fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are provisional estimates, but are based on the best information currently available. These provisional estimates are subject to change as the Company completes all remaining steps in finalizing the purchase price allocation. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of all assets and liabilities by January 31, 2024. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

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, 2023.
Overview
We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States and Europe. Based upon information provided to us by CNH Industrial N.V. or its U.S. subsidiary CNH Industrial America, LLC, we are the largest retail dealer of 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 three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and Europe, formerly International. Starting in the fourth quarter fiscal 2024, our fourth segment will be Australia, see Note 1 - Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies for further details. 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 August 2023 U.S. Department of Agriculture publications, the estimate of net farm income for calendar year 2023 indicated an approximate 22.8% decrease as compared to calendar year 2022, and an approximate 30.7% increase in net farm income for calendar year 2022 as compared to calendar year 2021.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, our net income was $30.2 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to a fiscal 2023 third quarter net income of $41.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted share. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
•Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased by 3.8% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The revenue increase was led by additional revenue resulting from the acquisition of Pioneer Farm Equipment, in February 2023. Same-store sales remained stable, on top of the record performance from prior year which saw same-store growth of 34%.
•Gross profit margin decreased to 19.9% for third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to 20.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily the result of a partial normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply of many product categories has caught up with demand. Another factor is the prior year equipment gross profit benefited from the recognition of a $2.0 million accrual on the expected achievement of annual manufacturer incentive programs, which is not included in the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Floorplan interest expense increased by $3.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2023, due to an increase in interest bearing inventory and higher interest rates.
Supply Chain
While we continue to experience less than desired shipments of certain product categories, primarily high-horsepower tractors, self-propelled sprayers and wheel loaders, for most other product categories we have been able to receive enough inventory to meet demand and also have stock available for sale.
Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
In February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, and although the length, impact, and outcome of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict has led, and could continue to lead, to significant market and other disruptions, including instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, and increases in cyberattacks. We are actively monitoring the situation in Ukraine and assessing its impact on our business. For the nine months ended October 31, 2023, Titan Machinery Ukraine's revenues are down approximately 10.3% from the prior year period.
As of October 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of $32.3 million in Ukraine. The physical assets (e.g. inventory and fixed assets) are almost exclusively located in central and western areas of the country. Total assets in Ukraine, as of January 31, 2023, were $27.4 million.
If the Company cannot provide efficient and uninterrupted services to its customers, this could worsen the conflict's adverse effect on the Company's operations and business in Ukraine. In addition, the Company's ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations in Ukraine is dependent on a number of factors, including Titan Machinery Ukraine's revenue and earnings, which have been and could continue to be significantly impacted by the conflict. Further, any major breakdown or closure of utility services, any major threat to civilians in our footprint, disruption of commodity exports from Ukraine, or international banking disruption could materially impact the operations and liquidity of Titan Machinery Ukraine.
Acquisitions
Fiscal 2024
On August 29, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire J.J. O’Connor & Sons Pty. Ltd. ("O’Connors"), which operates 15 CaseIH dealership locations and one parts center in the states of New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria in Southeastern Australia. In its most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, O’Connors generated revenue of approximately $258 million. The Company closed on the acquisition on October 2, 2023, see Note 18 - Subsequent Event for further details. The consideration paid is approximately $62 million, subject to final working capital and other purchase price closing adjustments. The acquisition will be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, "Business Combinations". The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and using the proceeds of additional indebtedness incurred under the floorplan and working capital loans of the Bank Syndicate Agreement.
On June 1, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of Midwest Truck. The acquired business consists of one location in Dawson, Minnesota. This location is included in the Company's Agriculture segment.

On May 1, 2023, the Company, through its German Subsidiary, Titan Machinery Deutschland GmbH, acquired certain assets of MAREP related to its full-service agriculture dealership businesses located in Mühlengeez and Radelübbe, Germany. Our acquisition of these assets from MAREP further expands our presence in the German market. The total consideration transferred for the acquired business was $4.4 million paid in cash, which includes the real estate of the Mühlengeez location. These locations are included in the Company's Europe segment.
On February 1, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of Pioneer Farm Equipment. The acquired business consists of five agriculture equipment stores in American Falls, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Rupert, Idaho.

The recognition of these inventories and associated financing liabilities are not included as part of the accounting for the business combination.
Fiscal 2023
On August 1, 2022, the Company acquired all outstanding equity interests of three entities, Heartland Agriculture, LLC, Heartland Solutions, LLC, and Heartland Leveraged Lender, LLC, (collectively referred to as "Heartland Companies") for $94.4 million in cash consideration. The Heartland Companies consist of twelve CaseIH commercial application agriculture locations, in Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin. The Heartland Companies have been a successful CaseIH commercial application dealer group and our acquisition of these entities provides the Company the opportunity for synergies due to the overlap of our footprints, as it allow us to package deals that include both commercial application equipment as well as other agricultural and construction equipment to commercial customers within our core footprint.

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. We will continue the phased rollout until all remaining domestic locations have been transitioned to the new ERP.
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, 2023.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 0.9% or $1.2 million, as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin also declined to 19.9% in the current quarter from 20.9% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily the result of a partial normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply of many product categories has caught up with demand. Another factor is the prior year equipment gross profit benefited from the recognition of a $2.0 million accrual on the expected achievement of annual manufacturer incentive programs, which is not included in the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
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 87.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 95.9% during the same period last year, led by increased floorplan interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period last year.

| Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue | 13.3 | % | | 12.7 | % | | 0.6 | % | | 4.7 | % |
Our operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 8.5% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of the additional operating expenses due to acquisitions that have taken place in the past year as well as an increase in variable expenses associated with increased sales. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 13.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 from 12.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

| Other interest expense | (1,494) | | | (1,257) | | | 237 | | | 18.9 | % |
The change in interest and other income (expense) compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily the result of foreign currency fluctuations in the quarter, creating foreign currency losses in fiscal 2024. The increase in floorplan interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to a higher level of interest-bearing inventory and a higher interest rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Our effective tax rate was 25.4% and 24.5% for each of the three months ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 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.

Agriculture
Agriculture segment revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 7.7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The higher revenue was driven primarily by the recent acquisition of Pioneer Farm Equipment, completed in February 2023, as well as an increase in same-store sales in our Agriculture segment of 3.5% on top of last year's record performance. Same-store sales was constrained by delayed OEM deliveries and capacity constraints or our service department as we
prioritized supporting our customers through harvest which limited our ability to process and deliver pre-sold units to customers.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $35.1 million compared to $42.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in gross profit is primarily the result of a partial normalization of equipment gross profit margin as supply of many product categories has caught up with demand. Another factor is the prior year equipment gross profit benefited from the recognition of a $2.0 million accrual on the expected achievement of annual manufacturer incentive programs, which is not included in the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 10.3% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was primarily driven by the timing of equipment deliveries which shifted some revenue into the fourth quarter of this year as compared to the third and fourth quarters of the prior year.
Our Construction segment income before taxes was $4.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $6.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in segment results was primarily due to a decrease in revenue. The dollar utilization, which 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, of our rental fleet decreased slightly from 34.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to 33.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Europe
Europe segment revenue was $85.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $89.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in revenue was impacted by a softening demand which was negatively impacted by dry conditions in the region as well as being negatively impacted by a 4.2% decrease in total revenue from our Ukrainian subsidiary due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Our Europe segment income before income taxes was $5.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to segment income before income taxes of $8.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment pre-tax income was primarily the result of increased operating expenses.
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 $3.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to a loss before income taxes of $1.9 million for the same period last year. The lower shared resources results were primarily from increase in floorplan interest expense as well as $0.6 million of acquisition related expenses incurred for the O'Connors acquisition.

Total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was up 17.2% or $280.0 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2023, driven primarily by our acquisitions of Mark's Machinery, the Heartland Companies, and Pioneer Farm Equipment completed in April 2022, August 2022, and February 2023, respectively as well as an increase in Company-wide same-store sales of 4.3%. The same-store sales increase was primarily driven by equipment sales, which benefited from improved availability of inventory in certain product categories and the sustained high demand of both agriculture and construction equipment.

Gross profit increased 17.9% or $59.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin also improved to 20.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from 20.4% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to gross profit mix shift, to higher margin parts sales relative to equipment sales.
Our Company-wide absorption rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased to 95.9%, as compared to 89.6% during the same period last year, as the increase in gross profit from parts, rental, and service more than offset the increase in operating expenses and interest expense on floorplan payables, during the nine-month period compared to that of the prior year nine-month period.

Our operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased $44.3 million as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The increase in operating expenses was a result of an increase in variable expenses associated with increased sales as well as acquisitions that have occurred in the last twelve months. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 13.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from 13.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

| Other interest expense | (4,008) | | | (3,802) | | | 206 | | | 5.4 | % |
The change in interest and other income (expense) compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily the result of foreign currency fluctuations in the nine months period, creating foreign currency losses in fiscal 2024. Floorplan interest expense increased $6.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased interest bearing borrowings, resulting from higher inventory levels, as well as a higher interest rate environment.

Agriculture
Agriculture segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased 22.6% compared to the same period last year. The higher revenue was driven primarily by the acquisitions of Mark's Machinery, the Heartland Companies, and Pioneer Farm Equipment in April 2022, August 2022, and February 2023, respectively, as well as an increase in same-store sales of 4.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared to the same period last year. The same-store sales increase was primarily driven by equipment sales, which benefited from improved availability of inventory in certain product categories and the sustained high demand for new and used equipment.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes was $92.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to $83.4 million over the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The improvement in segment results was primarily the result of higher equipment revenue.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased 4.0% compared to the same period last year. When accounting for the divestitures of the North Dakota consumer products store in March 2022, same-store sales increased 4.8%. Construction activity in our footprint sustained at healthy levels, which was the primary factor in the same-store sales growth.
Our Construction segment income before income taxes was $13.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to $13.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The increase in segment results was primarily due to an increase in same-store sales, as described above. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet decreased from 30.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to 30.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Europe
Europe segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 increased 3.4% compared to the same period last year. The increase in segment revenues benefited from improved availability of inventory in certain product categories and the sustained high demand of equipment in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which more than offset a 10.3% decrease in revenues from our Ukrainian subsidiary due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2023.
Our Europe segment income before income taxes was $17.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to $18.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment pre-tax income was primarily the result of increased operating expenses.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as "Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, and a portion is planned to be unallocated, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $5.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which included $1.1 million of acquisition related expenses incurred for the O'Connors acquisition, compared to a loss before income taxes of $3.9 million for the same period last year.
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.
Equipment Inventory and Floorplan and Working Capital Payable Credit Facilities
As of October 31, 2023, the Company had floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling $923.0 million, which is primarily comprised of a $500.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, a $250.0 million floorplan payable line and a $75.0 million working capital line of credit under the Bank Syndicate Agreement, and a $50.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance.
Our equipment inventory turnover decreased from 3.6 times for the rolling 12 month period ended October 31, 2022 to 2.4 times for the rolling 12 month period ended October 31, 2023. The decrease in equipment turnover was attributable to an increase in equipment inventory over the rolling 12 month period ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the same period ended October 31, 2022. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, decreased to 20.9% as of October 31, 2023 from 51.7% as of January 31, 2023. The decrease in our equity in equipment inventory is primarily due to the stocking of new equipment inventories as availability has improved, as well as drawing on our floorplan loan with the Bank Syndicate in conjunction with the O'Connor acquisition.
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, and 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023. 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 $82.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $7.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The change in net cash used for operating activities is primarily the result of an increase in inventories and a decrease in deferred revenue, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest bearing floorplan lines of credit from manufacturers and higher net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $64.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, compared to $124.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily the result of the acquisition of Mark's Machinery and the Heartland Companies in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 which was partially offset by the acquisitions of Pioneer Farm Equipment, MAREP, and Midwest Truck in the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $170.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to $34.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of increased non-manufacturer floorplan payables in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as the Company drew on its Bank Syndicate Agreement floorplan loan in fiscal 2024, to finance higher inventory levels.
Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 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 October 31, 2023, 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 $3.1 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 $3.1 million. At October 31, 2023, we had floorplan payables of $705.6 million, of which approximately $305.9 million was variable-rate floorplan payable and $399.7 million was non-interest bearing. In addition, at October 31, 2023, we had total long-term debt, including finance lease obligations, of $112.5 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $0.1 million of net monetary assets denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia ("UAH"). We have attempted to minimize our net monetary asset position in Ukraine through reducing overall asset levels in Ukraine and 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, similar to the 24% devaluation that occurred in July 2022, 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. We are not currently a party to any material litigation.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the important information in "Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the "Risk Factors” discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, 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.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement”) is made this 17th day of October, 2023, by and between TITAN MACHINERY INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company”) and Bryan J. Knutson ("you”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ you as its President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, you desire to be employed by the Company as its CEO on such terms and conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1.Employment. The Company agrees to employ you, and you agree to be employed, as CEO of the Company, consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, such employment as CEO to commence on the Effective Date (as defined below). Until the Effective Date, you will continue your employment as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer under the terms and conditions set forth in your employment agreement with the Company dated September 5, 2018, as amended (the "COO Agreement”).
2.Term. Unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement, the term of your employment as CEO shall be for a period (the "Term”) as follows: the initial term shall commence on February 1, 2024 (the "Effective Date”) and shall continue until the third anniversary thereof; provided that, on such third anniversary of the Effective Date and each annual anniversary thereafter (such date and each annual anniversary thereof, a "Renewal Date”), the Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one year, unless either party provides written notice of its intention not to extend the term of the Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Renewal Date.
3.Responsibilities. During your employment with the Company as CEO, you will report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors”) and will be responsible for the overall operations and direction of the Company. You agree to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of your ability, and to devote your full working time, attention and efforts to the business of the Company. You further agree to make yourself available as needed, in a timely manner, to address business issues that may arise. You may, to a reasonable extent, participate in charitable activities, personal investment activities and outside businesses that are not competitive with the business of the Company and serve on boards of directors, so long as such activities and directorships do not interfere with the performance of your duties and responsibilities to the Company; provided, however, that you shall report on all such activities and directorships to the Company’s Board of Directors at least annually. Executive agrees, if requested, to serve as a member of the Board of Directors or as a director or officer of any affiliate of the Company for no additional compensation.
4.Base Salary. As of the Effective Date, your base salary will be $575,000. Your base salary will be reviewed annually (with the first such review to occur on or about June 1, 2025), and may be adjusted upward from time to time, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Committee”), but will not be reduced during the Term without your consent.
5.Incentive Bonus. For each full fiscal year of the Company that you are employed during the Term, you will be eligible for an incentive award opportunity in an amount equal to 0% to 200% of your base salary pursuant to terms and conditions approved by the Committee, based
upon a target equal to 100% of your base salary. Objectives will be established by the Committee for each fiscal year. Any annual incentive bonus earned for a fiscal year will be paid to you within two and one-half (2½) months after the end of such fiscal year.
6.Long-Term Equity Incentive. On or about June 1 of each year during the Term, or such other date as determined by the Committee, you may be entitled to receive an award of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units. The number of shares and/or units under each award shall be determined by dividing your base salary in effect on the date of grant by the closing sale price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Each award shall be granted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Equity Grant Policy, and will be subject to such terms (including, without limitation, vesting, risk of forfeiture, or similar terms) as shall be approved by the Committee.
7.Benefits. During your employment with the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs generally available to other executive officers of the Company, and in such other employee benefit plans and programs to the extent that you meet the eligibility requirements for each individual plan or program and subject to the provisions, rules and regulations applicable to each such plan or program as in effect from time to time. The plans and programs of the Company may be modified or terminated by the Company in its discretion.
8.Paid Time Off. During your employment with the Company, you will receive paid time off ("PTO”) in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company. PTO shall be taken at such times so as not to unduly disrupt the operations of the Company. While away from the office, you agree that business issues may arise that require your attention, whether remotely or in person.
9.Office Location. Your employment will be based at the Company’s headquarters in West Fargo, North Dakota. Regular travel will be required in the course of performing your duties and responsibilities as CEO.
10.Termination. You may terminate the employment relationship during the Term with at least 60 days’ prior written notice. The Company may terminate the employment relationship during the Term for Cause at any time with prior written notice, subject to compliance with the procedures herein, or without Cause with at least 60 days’ prior written notice. Upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will promptly resign any and all positions you then hold, including as an officer or director, with the Company and any of its affiliates.
11.Severance.
(a)Qualifying Termination. In case of termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or in the case of voluntary resignation of your employment for Good Reason (each a "Qualifying Termination”), the Company will pay you as severance pay an amount equal to the sum of (i) your annual base salary at the rate in effect on your last day of employment plus (ii) the average annual incentive bonus paid to you under this Agreement in the three (3) years preceding the Qualifying Termination (or such fewer number of years during which you have been employed hereunder); provided that, in the event such Qualifying Termination occurs prior to any annual incentive bonus having been paid to you under this Agreement, the amount used for purposes of this clause (ii) shall be the amount of your target annual incentive bonus for the year in which such Qualifying Termination occurs. Subject to Section 19 of this Agreement, the Company will pay the severance amount in twelve (12) equal monthly installments beginning on the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following the expiration of the rescission period under the Release as set forth in Section 11(c) of this Agreement. In addition, upon a Qualifying Termination, the Company will, for a period of twelve (12) months following the effective date of termination of your employment (or, if shorter, the period during which you remain eligible for COBRA continuation coverage), allow you to continue to participate in the Company’s group medical and dental plans on the same
basis, and the Company will contribute toward the monthly premium at the same rate, as of your last day of employment, if you timely elect COBRA continuation coverage. Benefits provided by the Company may be reduced if you become eligible for comparable benefits from another employer or third party.
(b)Change in Control Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if your employment is terminated within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control by you for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause ("Change in Control Termination”), the Company will pay you as severance an amount equal to two times the sum of (i) your annual base salary at the rate in effect on your last day of employment plus (ii) the average annual incentive bonus paid to you in the three (3) years preceding the Change in Control Termination (or such fewer number of years during which you have been employed hereunder); provided that, in the event such Change in Control Termination occurs prior to any annual incentive bonus having been paid to you under this Agreement, the amount used for purposes of this clause (ii) shall be the amount of your target annual incentive bonus for the year in which such Change in Control Termination occurs. Subject to Section 19 of this Agreement, the Company will pay the severance amount in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments beginning on the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following the expiration of the rescission period under the Release as set forth in Section 11(c) of this Agreement. In addition, upon a Change in Control Termination the Company will, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of termination of your employment (or, if shorter, the period during which you remain eligible for COBRA continuation coverage), allow you to continue to participate in the Company’s group medical and dental plans on the same basis, and the Company will contribute toward the monthly premium at the same rate, as of your last day of employment, if you timely elect COBRA continuation coverage. Benefits provided by the Company may be reduced if you become eligible for comparable benefits from another employer or third party.
(c)Conditions. Payment by the Company of any severance pay or premium reimbursements under this Section 11 will be conditioned upon you (1) signing and not revoking a full release of all claims against the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns, substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the "Release”), within thirty (30) days of the Qualifying Termination or Change in Control Termination; (2) complying with your obligations under the Release and this Agreement, including the noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants herein, and under any other agreement between you and the Company then in effect; (3) cooperating with the Company in the transition of your duties; and (4) not disparaging or defaming the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, assigns, products or services.
(d)Terminations other than Qualifying Terminations and Change in Control Terminations. In the event of termination of your employment by the Company for Cause, or resignation by you other than for Good Reason, the Company’s only obligation hereunder shall be to pay such compensation and provide such benefits as are earned by you through the date of termination of employment.
(e)Definitions of Cause, Good Reason and Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause,” "Good Reason,” and "Change in Control” have the following definitions:
"Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, you will have ten (10) business days from the delivery of written notice by the Company within which to cure any acts constituting Cause. Permanent disability shall be determined consistent with the standards of the Company’s long-term disability plan or, if the Company does not have a plan, with the standards established by the Social Security Administration.
"Good Reason” means any one or more of the following occurring without your consent:

"Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

ii.A majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any twelve-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the Board before the date of appointment or election; or
iii.The sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
12.Vesting of Outstanding Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Performance Based Awards.
(a)Qualifying Termination. In the event of a Qualifying Termination, and subject to your compliance with the conditions stated below, the Company agrees that (i) your non-vested equity-based awards that remain subject to vesting based solely on your continued employment with the Company ("Non-Performance Equity Awards”) will become immediately vested and exercisable as of the first day following the Release having become effective; and (ii) your non-vested equity-based compensation awards that remain subject to vesting based all or in part on the satisfaction of one or more performance goals ("Performance Equity Awards”) shall remain outstanding and shall vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, except that any requirement under the applicable award agreement to remain employed through one or more dates following the date of your Qualifying Termination will be deemed satisfied.
(b)Change in Control Termination. In the event of a Change in Control Termination, and subject to your compliance with the conditions stated below, the Company agrees that: (i) your Non-Performance Based Equity Awards shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the first day following the Release having become effective; and (ii) your Performance Based Equity Awards shall vest and be earned in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement, except that any requirement under the applicable award agreement to remain employed through one or more dates following the date of your Change in Control Termination will be deemed satisfied.
(c)Conditions. Your rights to receive the benefits of the vesting of the equity awards described above in subparagraphs (a) and (b) are conditioned upon you:
i.signing and not revoking the Release within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of employment;
ii.complying with your obligations under the Release and this Agreement, including the noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants herein, and under any other agreement between you and the Company;
iii.cooperating with the Company in the transition of your duties; and
iv.not disparaging or defaming the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, assigns, products or services.
In the event of any non-compliance with the obligations set forth above, all of your then non-vested equity awards will immediately be forfeited. The parties acknowledge and agree that the effective compliance period applicable to the conditions stated above, based on the vesting schedule of the applicable awards, may be longer than the periods set forth elsewhere for similar covenants in this Agreement and the Release.
(d)Terminations other than Qualifying Terminations and Change in Control Terminations. In the event of termination of your employment by the Company for Cause, or resignation by you other than for Good Reason, your outstanding equity awards shall be forfeited or vested in accordance with the terms of applicable equity award agreements.
13.Noncompetition. In consideration of you and the Company entering into this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to protect the reasonable business interests of the Company, you agree that while you are an employee of the Company, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after termination of your employment for any reason, you will not directly or indirectly, whether on your own behalf or that of a third party (other than the Company), engage in the business
(whether as an owner of, or as employee, director or officer of or consultant to any business, other than the Company, that is engaged in the business), of owning or operating agricultural or construction equipment stores in any U.S. state or foreign country in which the Company or its subsidiaries owns or operates any agricultural or construction equipment stores during the term of your employment. You agree that the Company will be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond to enforce the terms of such noncompetition restriction, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have. In the event that any provision of this noncompetition clause (or any other provision contained in this Agreement) shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action so as to be enforceable to the extent consistent with then applicable law. This noncompetition clause shall survive the termination of your employment, and shall apply whether the termination of your employment is voluntary or involuntary and regardless of the reason for such termination.
14.Non-Solicitation of Employees. You agree that for a period of twenty-four (24) months following termination of your employment with the Company, you will, not directly or indirectly, either for yourself or any other person or entity solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company.
15.Confidential Information. You have had and will continue to have access to and familiarity with the confidential and proprietary information of the Company. You agree that all Confidential Information, whether or not in writing, concerning the Company is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is proprietary to the Company or that has been made available to the Company in a manner reasonably understood to require confidential treatment, including, without limitation, trade secret information about the Company and its products; information relating to the business of the Company or anticipated to be conducted by the Company; any of the Company’s past, current or anticipated products; information about the Company’s research, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, engineering, marketing, selling, leasing, servicing, discoveries, improvements, inventions, designs, graphs, drawings, methods, techniques, plans, strategies, customer lists, licensee lists, marketing plans, pricing and other policies, forecasts, budgets, customer information, financial data, personnel data; and any other material relating to Confidential Information, however documented. All information that you have a reasonable basis to consider Confidential Information or that is treated by the Company as being Confidential Information shall be presumed to be Confidential Information, without regard to the manner in which you obtain access to such information.
During the time you are employed with the Company and for a period of ten (10) years following the date your employment with the Company ends for any reason (except with respect to trade secrets, which you agree to keep confidential for so long as such information remains a trade secret), and except (i) in the ordinary course of performing your employment duties for the Company, (ii) as expressly authorized in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company, or (iii) as compelled to disclose Confidential Information by judicial or governmental authority, you agree not to disclose any Confidential Information to persons or entities outside the Company, or to use any Confidential Information for any other purpose, either during or after your employment, unless and until such Confidential Information has become public knowledge without fault by you. You also agree to deliver all written, electronic, magnetic, computer or other recorded or tangible material and copies thereof containing Confidential Information to the Company upon the earlier of a request by the Company or the date your employment with the Company ends. You further agree to treat all confidential information and know-how of any affiliate, employee, customer, contractor, vendor, or supplier of the Company, as applicable, in the same manner as the Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement limits your ability to (i) file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission ("Government Agencies”), or (ii) communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Further, nothing in this Agreement limits your right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made to your attorney in relation to a lawsuit against the Company for retaliation against you for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (iii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
16.Indemnification. The Company will indemnify you in connection with your duties and responsibilities for the Company in accordance with applicable statutory and common law, the Company’s bylaws and as set forth in any indemnification agreement between you and the Company from time to time.
17.Taxes. The Company may withhold from any compensation and severance benefits payable to you hereunder such federal, state and local income and employment taxes as the Company shall determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
18.Remedies. You acknowledge that your covenants and obligations hereunder are of special, unique, and intellectual character, which gives them a peculiar value, the actual or threatened breach of which may result in substantial injuries and damages, for which monetary relief may fail to provide an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if the Company institutes any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, seeking injunctive relief or specific performance, you hereby waive the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law, and you will not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. Nothing in this provision limits the parties’ rights to seek any and all remedies available under applicable law, including equitable and legal relief, either separately or cumulatively, for breach or threatened breach of contract.
19.Section 409A and Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all payments to you are either exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code”) and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, "Section 409A”), including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued in the future. To the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A, it is intended that payments under this Agreement will be exempt from Section 409A, including the exceptions for short-term deferrals, separation pay arrangements, reimbursements, and in-kind distributions, so as not to subject you to payment of interest or any additional tax under Section 409A. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefit payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, such reimbursements and in-kind benefit payments shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) (or any similar or successor provisions). In furtherance thereof, if the provision of any reimbursement or in-kind benefit payment hereunder that is subject to Section 409A at the time specified herein would subject such amount to any additional tax under
Section 409A, the provision of such reimbursement or in-kind benefit payment shall be postponed to the earliest commencement date on which the provision of such amount could be made without incurring such additional tax. Where a payment date for nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A could occur in more than one calendar year under this Agreement, in no event will you be permitted to directly or indirectly designate the calendar year of the payment date for such nonqualified deferred compensation. Accordingly, if any amounts or benefits that are conditioned on your signing and not revoking the Release represent nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and the period in which you may review and revoke the release of claims begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, then payment of such amounts or provision of such benefits will commence no earlier than the first regularly scheduled payroll date in the second calendar year. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the severance payments described in Agreement are subject to the requirements of Section 409A and the Company determines that you are a "specified employee” as defined in Section 409A as of the date of your Qualifying Termination of Change of Control Termination, such payments shall not be paid or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of your Qualifying Termination or Change of Control Termination. In addition, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Section 409A (after application of the previous provisions of this paragraph) would result in you being subject to the payment of interest or any additional tax under Section 409A, the parties agree, to the extent reasonably possible, to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary (including retroactively) in order to avoid the imposition of any such interest or additional tax under Section 409A, which amendment shall have the minimum economic effect necessary and be reasonably determined in good faith by the Company and you. You acknowledge and agree that the Company has made no representation to you as to the tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement and that you are solely responsible for all taxes due with respect to such compensation and benefits.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the group medical and dental premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then, in lieu of providing such premiums, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to instead pay you, on the first day of each month, a fully taxable cash payment equal to such premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the "Special Severance Payment”), for the applicable severance period. You may, but are not obligated to, use such Special Severance Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums. If you participate in another group health or dental plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this clause, you must immediately notify the Company of such event, and all payments and obligations under this clause shall cease.
20.Clawback. The incentive based compensation paid to you under this Agreement is subject to recovery or clawback under applicable laws or regulations and any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors to comply with applicable legal or stock exchange listing requirements, which such recovery or clawback you agree to pay promptly upon demand.
21.Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
22.Construction. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
23.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, and negotiations between us, including, effective as of the Effective Date, the COO Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing and signed by you and an authorized officer or director of the Company.

2.Consideration. I am entering into this Release in consideration of Titan’s obligations to provide me certain severance pay and benefits as specified in the Agreement. I will receive consideration from Titan as set forth in the Agreement if I sign and do not rescind this Release as provided below. I understand and acknowledge that I would not be entitled to the consideration under the Agreement if I did not sign this Release. The consideration is in addition to anything of value that I would be entitled to receive from Titan if I did not sign this Release or if I rescinded this Release. I acknowledge and represent that I have received all payments and benefits that I am entitled to receive (as of the date of this Release) by virtue of any employment by the Company.
3.Agreement to Release My Claims. In exchange for the consideration described in the Agreement, I give up and release all of My Claims. I will not make any demands or claims against the Company for compensation or damages relating to My Claims. The consideration that I am receiving is a fair compromise for the release of My Claims.
4.Cooperation. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, I agree that I will (i) timely execute and deliver such acknowledgements, instruments, certificates, and other ministerial documents (including without limitation, certification as to specific actions performed by me in my capacity as an officer of the Company) as may be necessary or appropriate to formalize and complete the applicable corporate records; (ii) reasonably consult with the Company regarding business matters that I was involved with while employed by the Company; and (iii) be reasonably available, with or without subpoena, to be interviewed, review documents or things, give depositions, testify, or engage in other reasonable activities in connection with any litigation or investigation, with respect to matters that I may have knowledge of by virtue of my employment by or service to the Company. In performing my obligations under this paragraph to testify or otherwise provide information, I will honestly, truthfully, forthrightly, and completely provide the information requested, volunteer pertinent information and turn over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into my possession.
5.My Continuing Obligations. I understand and acknowledge that I must comply with all of my post-employment obligations under the Agreement. I will not defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products, or services of Titan, or the reputation or character of Titan’s directors, officers, employees and agents, and I will refrain from making public comment about the Company except upon the express written consent of an officer of Titan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Release, nothing in this Release alters your protected rights under Section 15 of the Agreement.
6.Additional Agreements and Understandings. Even though Titan will provide consideration for me to settle and release My Claims, the Company does not admit that it is responsible or legally obligated to me with regard to My Claims. In fact, the Company denies that it is responsible or legally obligated to me for My Claims, denies that it engaged in any unlawful or improper conduct toward me, and denies that it treated me unfairly.
7.Advice to Consult with an Attorney. I understand and acknowledge that I am hereby being advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release and I have done so. My decision whether to sign this Release is my own voluntary decision made with full knowledge that the Company has advised me to consult with an attorney.
8.Period to Consider the Release. I understand that I have 21 days from the last day of my employment to consider whether I wish to sign this Release. If I sign this Release before the end of the 21-day period, it will be my voluntary decision to do so because I have decided that I do not need any additional time to decide whether to sign this Release. I understand and agree that if I sign this Release prior to my last day of employment with Titan it will not be valid and Titan will not be obligated to provide the consideration described in the Release.
9.My Right to Rescind this Release. I understand that I may rescind this Release at any time within 7 days after I sign it, not counting the day upon which I sign it. This Release will not become effective or enforceable unless and until the 7-day rescission period has expired without my rescinding it. I understand that if I rescind this Release Titan will not be obligated to provide the consideration described in the Release.
10.Procedure for Accepting or Rescinding the Release. To accept the terms of this Release, I must deliver the Release, after I have signed and dated it, to Titan by hand or by mail within the 21-day period that I have to consider this Release. To rescind my acceptance, I must deliver a written, signed statement that I rescind my acceptance to Titan by hand or by mail within the 7-day rescission period. All deliveries must be made to Titan at the following address:
General Counsel
644 East Beaton Drive
West Fargo, ND 58078
If I choose to deliver my acceptance or the rescission by mail, it must be postmarked within the period stated above and properly addressed to Titan at the address stated above.
11.Interpretation of the Release. This Release should be interpreted as broadly as possible to achieve my intention to resolve all of My Claims against the Company. If this Release is held by a court to be inadequate to release a particular claim encompassed within My Claims, this Release will remain in full force and effect with respect to all the rest of My Claims. I agree that the provisions of this Release may not be amended, waived, changed or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized representative of Titan and by me.
12.My Representations. I am legally able and entitled to receive the consideration being provided to me in settlement of My Claims. I have not been involved in any personal bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings at any time since I began my employment with Titan. No child support orders, garnishment orders, or other orders requiring that money owed to me by Titan be paid to any other person are now in effect.
I further represent and warrant that I have returned all Company property to the Company, including keys, credit cards, security access cards, codes, personal computers, cell phones, devices, memoranda, data, records, notes and other information that was in my possession or under my control in any form and did not retain any copies thereof.
I have read this Release carefully. I understand all of its terms. In signing this Release, I have not relied on any statements or explanations made by the Company except as specifically set forth in the Agreement. I am voluntarily releasing My Claims against the Company. I intend this Release and the Agreement to be legally binding.
Dated this October day of 17, 2023.
