Statement of Chief Executive Officer:
Titan CEO and Chairman, Maurice Taylor, comments, "The first quarter performance fell short of our expectations. There are a lot of reasons, but the simple fact is the buck stops with me.
"Winter's blast affected every factory in the United States with fuels costs up. The aftermarket and OEM farm business declined and OE construction business was also below forecast. The mining business was nonexistent in the first quarter. January and February business was weak. March improved but could not offset the severe declines in the first two months of 2014. Agriculture and construction seems to be improving slightly going forward but a recovery in the mining looks like a long haul. Due to the uncertainty in the markets we serve, the 2014 management goals published November 25, 2013 have been rescinded and are being reconsidered.
"We need to reduce our expenses and work harder during the rest of the year. Titan will be adjusting employment levels both in salary and hourly workforce in second quarter. Titan does have a lot of good things going forward. Our new tires and wheels are taking hold and the LSW tires and wheels are performing great out in the market. We have begun an aggressive campaign for the LSW concept which we expect to improve Titan's agriculture and construction wheels and tires business.
"Titan ITM, which makes tracks for construction and certain agricultural machines, is growing in South America. Europe remains weak and we do not expect much improvement for 2014. The Russian tire operation, in which Titan holds a 30 percent interest, is moving ahead. The political circumstances in Russia remain a challenge but we are proceeding on with our plan.
"Paul Reitz, Titan's new president, has visited all of Titan's operations and will be initiating his plan to increase Titan's operating margin and improve quality and delivery. John Hrudicka, Titan's new CFO, is partnering with Paul to drive profit optimization throughout the company. Cecilia LaManna (Chief Executive Officer of Italtractor ITM SpA Group) is now running Europe and she is growing the track business by taking market share in a very tough market. I believe, as does Titan's board, that Titan's new management team will grow revenue and operating profit.
"There have been a lot of questions asked about what, when and how Titan is going to reach many goals. I can appreciate that all shareholders don't have the same timeline that I have.
"Here are some simple facts and numbers: (Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Sales Adjusted Adjusted Shareholder's Equity EBITDA EPS-diluted 2010 $ 881,591 $ 89,317 $ 0.43 $ 272,031 2011 1,486,998 184,111 1.50 396,879 2012 1,820,678 243,568 1.93 632,362 2013 2,163,595 192,215 0.78 798,036
"In 2010, Titan began negotiating the rubber union work rules at our North American tire facilities. In the first quarter of 2013, we signed a new four year agreement with the steelworkers union minimizing the work rules and improving the efficiencies at the tire plants.
"Titan's business is simple to understand. We make the steel farm wheels for the North American and European markets. We also produce the farm tires for North and South America under the Goodyear and Titan brand. In 2011, Titan had a choice to either stay the size we were in revenue or expand into Europe and utilize our market strength. The board agreed to buy Titan Europe (the 80% we didn't own) and duplicate our North and South America business.
"We also produce the wheels, tires and undercarriage components for the construction and mining business in North America, Europe, Australia and Russia. Our market share for this segment will never match Titan's agriculture business because Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear alone have spent billions to expand capacity. Titan's maximum construction and mining tire capacity is between $500/$600 million in revenue; therefore, we look at being a specialty tire and wheel producer who can earn fair margins.
"The current outlook for mining tires continues to be negative. The price of tires continues to drop and will in the foreseeable future. Titan seeks to penetrate into a niche specialty tire and wheel market in the construction and mining segment which could generate additional revenue between $200 and $400 million and additional EBITDA between $40 to $120 million. The extra capital investment to accomplish this is substantially complete. Titan produces its own equipment, molds and tooling. If you ever have the chance to visit one of our factories in the United States, you will observe the hidden value.
"The new additions we acquired in 2012 and 2013 should start to show positive results this next year. Our business simply put is old line manufacturing and to make a new tire or wheel concept succeed, both products are needed. Titan's new LSW tires and wheels have shown big improvements over the current conventional products. These new tires and wheels improve equipment performance. It takes a few years for people (farmers) to see the benefits. We are starting to see those benefits in North America now and we will bring them to Europe and Russia. That is why we are excited about our growth.
"Titan today has enough cash on its balance sheet to finish the acquisition phase later this year. This should leave Titan International with annual revenues of $3 to $3.3 billion once the acquisitions are complete. It is management's goal to streamline these businesses as we have done with the Quincy wheel plant and our Des Moines tire facility. Titan's shareholders should know that it's the board's position to then pay out a high percentage of earnings in dividends as there will not be a large need for capital going forward for this business.
"When I started on this journey on March 23, 1983 we had zero employees and zero sales. We have come a long way and I believe we are very close to achieving our goals. As I've mentioned, I can appreciate there are many opinions how to do this faster, but in manufacturing you must do it correctly or you pay a high penalty for mistakes.
"I must also mention how lucky the company and I have been to have what I consider the best board of directors of any public company. Every individual on Titan's board brings a very unique talent, which helps Titan and you, the shareholders," concluded Taylor.
Financial Summary:
Sales: Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, were $538.9 million compared to $578.4 million in 2013, a decrease of 7 percent. Sales increased approximately 5% from the inclusion of the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom facility which recorded $29.6M in sales. Volume increased 4% primarily as the result of increased consumer sales at overseas facilities. The increase in net sales was offset by a price/mix reduction which resulted largely from decreased demand for larger product used in the mining industry that decreased sales approximately 14%, and unfavorable currency translation which decreased sales by approximately 2%.
Gross profit: Gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 was $54.6 million, or 10.1 percent of net sales, compared to $96.8 million, or 16.7 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit decreased primarily as a result of a large decrease in demand for earthmoving/construction products for the mining industry, which remains in a cyclical downturn. Generally, there are higher margins associated with the larger, more complex mining tires. As a consequence, this drove a significant decrease in gross profit due to selling price reductions, mix erosion and lost leverage on lower sales.
Warranty Expense: The provision for warranty liability was $5.3 million at March 31, 2014 or 1.0 percent of sales compared to $7.9 million at March 31, 2014 or 1.4 percent of sales.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses: Selling, general and administrative for the first quarter of 2014 were $46.8 million, or 8.7% of net sales, compared to $42.4 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for 2013. The higher SG&A expenses were primarily the result of approximately $5 million of SG&A expenses at recently acquired facilities.
Income from operations: Income from operations for the first quarter of 2014, was $0.3 million, or 0 percent of net sales, compared to $47.9 million, or 8.3 percent of net sales, in 2013.
Interest expense: Interest expense was $9.3 million and $10.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.
Earnings per share: For the first quarter of 2014, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.04 and $0.04, respectively. This compared to the same period last year, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.38 and $0.34, respectively.
Capital expenditures: Titan's capital expenditures were $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $21.2 million for the first quarter 2013.
Debt balance: Total long term debt balance was $498.8 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $497.7 million on December 31, 2013. Short-term debt balance was $78.0 million at March 31, 2014 and $75.1 million at December 31, 2013. Net debt (debt less cash and investments) was $298.7 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $294.1 million at December 31, 2013.
Equity balance: The company's equity was $782.1 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $798.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Titan International, Inc. Supplemental Consolidated Statement of Income Information Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures-Unaudited Amounts in thousands except earnings per share data
The company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). This supplemental schedule provides adjusted non-GAAP financial information and a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between non-GAAP financial measure and the financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
The SEC's Regulation G applies to any public disclosure or release of material information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. It has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income assists investors with analyzing our business results as well as with predicting future performance. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure is reviewed by management in order to evaluate the financial performance of each segment as well as the company as a whole. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will permit investors to assess the performance of the company on the same basis as management.
As a result, one should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, prominently disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.
The table below provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for March 31, 2014.

Titan International Announces 23 Percent Increase in Revenue for Third Quarter 2013
8:00 AM ET 10/29/13 | PR Newswire
Third quarter highlights:
-- Sales for third quarter 2013 were $497.5 million up 22.9 percent, compared to $404.7 million in the third quarter of 2012.
-- Gross profit decreased 6.9 percent for third quarter 2013 to $62.5 million, or 12.6 percent of net sales, compared to $67.2 million in third quarter 2012, or 16.6 percent of net sales.
-- Third quarter income from operations was $17.1 million compared to $36.2 million last year.
-- Adjusted net income for the third quarter was $8.1 million, compared to $24.7 million in the third quarter of last year (see appendix below).
-- Adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter 2013 are $0.15 and $0.15 for basic and fully diluted, respectively, compared to $0.59 and $0.49 for 2012, basic and fully diluted, respectively.
Statement of Chief Executive Officer: Chairman and CEO, Maurice M. Taylor comments, "The third quarter has come and gone. Ag has held steady, earthmoving and construction declined and further decreases in raw material prices have impacted margins. Some people will say the glass is half full; others say it's half empty. I see the future for Titan as the best I've ever seen. Why? We have many opportunities on the horizon.
"New agriculture wheels and tires: Titan's new agriculture wheels and tires are not only the best they've ever been, but we are showing the North American farmers how our new tires can make a 4-wheel tractor compete with a Quadtrac. This saves the farmer $60,000 per tractor and lowers operating costs going forward. We are doing the same with combines, sprayers, implements, grain carts, any tire on a piece of farm equipment. The last four years of development, time and money are leading to sales of this new product offering. We are taking this design into our construction and mining tire business. Titan has spent the R&D dollars over the last four to five years to prove our concept and going forward Titan's new wheels and tires will produce better margins. For more information, click here to view our video featuring the Titan technology.
"New radial LSW tires: In July, Titan's new 58/80/63 radial loader tire was approved by Caterpillar to be used on OEM and aftermarket on the Caterpillar 994 loader. This tire is thousands of dollars less than Bridgestone's 58/57 bias radial tire. If Titan's LSW 58/80/63 works on a Caterpillar 994, then all of our new radial LSW tires will work on the smaller loaders, which are used in mining and construction. The timing of this is perfect because everyone is looking to lower their costs and the LSW tires can accomplish this. Titan is also the only Company today who produces the wheels for the new LSW tires.
"Tire Reclamation: Titan Mining Services ("TMS") has started Titan Tire Reclamation Corp. ("TTRC"). TTRC will be working with Green Carbon who has developed a pyrolysis process in which mining tires and belting can be put in a reactor so that, when the process is completed, a 59R63 super giant tire becomes 450 to 500 gallons of oil, approximately 4,000 pounds of carbon black and approximately one ton of steel.
"Depending on the country TTRC is operating in, the Company will receive carbon credits. In addition to the return on oil, carbon black and steel, TTRC will be paid a fee. The first system is planned to go to the oil sands in Alberta, Canada, and then Elk River Valley of B.C. Canada. We are planning units for Elko, Nevada; Gillett, Wyoming; Chile and Australia. Titan has plans to use the reclaimed carbon black in various tire products, which should give Titan a green carbon certificate for tires we produce, even the reclaimed steel counts. There's no question Titan Mining Services will be growing worldwide in the next few years. As TMS expands, each location will have other equity owners operating each facility.
"I know the first question is what would revenue be? The above gross revenue at today's prices should be $250 million for the sites mentioned above. The EBITDA should be between $75 and $100 million gross. Yes, the margins are better turning the tires back into oil, carbon black and steel. Titan has been working on this for the past three years and we will have our first reactor running in June/July 2014.
Outlook: "The market in construction and mining tires has been soft the last few quarters and, with the lower cost of materials, tire prices will be dropping through the end of the year. The mining companies, I believe, will be dropping their tire inventory from 14 months to 6 months and then buying what they use going forward at lower prices. However, the smaller construction business should expand 20 to 25 percent in 2014 based on information from OEMs.
"With our new tire acquisition in Volgograd, Russia the entire Titan team believes we can really expand the output of this facility. I agree, but like everything else, I believe it will take a little longer than what some of our team thinks. The plant has the technical talent. The question becomes how fast they execute the plan.
"You can see why I believe the glass is half full and how we are going to grow. In short, the agriculture market is still strong. Pricing is dropping due to lower cost materials. Our revenue should stay the same because our market share should grow. The construction tire and wheel business should grow double digits in 2014 if the OEM forecasts stay where they predict. As Titan focuses on all the specialty wheels and tires, we should see improvement in margins." Taylor concludes, "Titan will announce the management goals for 2014 sales and EBITDA the week of December 15, 2013."
Financial Summary:
Sales: Titan recorded sales of $497.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to third quarter 2012 sales of $404.7 million. Sales increased approximately 35 percent from the addition of recently acquired entities including $128.9 million at Titan Europe for the third quarter 2013. Net sales for the first nine months of 2013 were $1,669.2 million, compared to $1,327.0 million in 2012, an increase of 25.8 percent. Year to date sales increased approximately 35 percent due to recent acquisitions of which $432.0 million is attributed to revenue from Titan Europe. Overall sales volume remained consistent with the prior year. For the third quarter, the increase in net sales was partially offset by a.) a price/mix reduction which resulted largely from decreased raw material prices that were generally passed on to customers and decreased sales approximately 5 percent, b.) weakened demand in the earthmoving/construction market which contributed to a 4 percent decrease in sales volume and c.) unfavorable currency translation which decreased sales by approximately 3 percent. The increase in year to date sales was offset by the price/mix reduction resulting largely from lower raw material prices passed on to customers lowering sales approximately 7 percent and an unfavorable currency translation which decrease sales 2 percent.
Gross profit: Gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $62.5 million, or 12.6 percent of net sales, compared to $67.2 million, or 16.6 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $245.9 million, or 14.7 percent of net sales, compared to $242.6 million, or 18.3 percent of net sales in 2012. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased as lower raw material costs were passed on to customers before being fully realized by the Company. Increased warranty provisions relating to earthmoving tires also contributed to the decreased gross profit. Titan Europe provided gross profit of $16.2 million, or 12.6 percent of net sales. Titan Europe margins were negatively affected by decreased earthmoving/construction demand in Europe.
Warranty Expense: The provision for warranty liability was $35.1 million at September 30, 2013 or 2.1 percent of sales compared to $23.0 million at September 30, 2012 or 1.7 percent of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $38.7 million, or 7.8 percent of net sales, compared to $25.5 million, or 6.3 percent of net sales, for 2012. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $124.8 million, or 7.5 percent of net sales, compared to $79.7 million, or 6.0 percent of net sales, for 2012. The increase in SG&A expenses year to date were primarily the result of approximately $35 million of SG&A expenses at recently acquired facilities.
Income from operations: Income from operations for the third quarter of 2013, was $17.1 million, or 3.4 percent of net sales, compared to $36.2 million, or 8.9 percent of net sales, in 2012. Income from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2013, was $101.8 million, or 6.1 percent of net sales, compared to $175.8 million, or 13.2 percent of net sales, in 2012.
Interest expense: Interest expense was $12.4 million and $6.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Year-to-date interest expense was $35.9 million and $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily the result of the increase in the 7.875 senior secured notes of $325 million issued first quarter 2013.
Non-cash convertible debt charge: In the first quarter 2013, Titan agreed to convert approximately $52.7 million of the 5.625 percent convertible notes into approximately 4.9 million shares of the Company's common stock plus a cash payment totaling $14.2 million. In connection with this exchange, the Company recognized a charge of $7.3 million in accordance with accounting standards for debt conversion.
Earnings per share: For the third quarter of 2013, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.15 and $0.15, respectively. This compared to the same period last year, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.46 and $0.39, respectively. Year-to-date 2013 basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.96 and $0.89, respectively. Year-to-date 2012 basic and diluted earnings per share were $2.35 and $1.92, respectively. On an adjusted basis (see appendix below), basic and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.15 and $0.15, respectively, for the third quarter 2013 and $0.59 and $0.49 for 2012. Year-to-date adjusted earnings per share were $0.85 and $0.85, basic and fully diluted, respectively, compared to $2.23 and $1.83 in the prior year.
Capital expenditures: Titan's capital expenditures were $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 and $17.3 million for the third quarter 2012. Year-to-date expenditures were $55.0 million for 2013 compared to $36.3 million for 2012.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance: During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, Titan recognized a non-cash charge of $11.7 million to establish a valuation allowance on the Italy net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance was needed due to the reassessment of the realizability of the deferred tax asset as a result of the insurance proceeds from the earthquake becoming non-taxable resulting from the Italian tax law changes. Adjusted net income (See appendix below) for the nine months ended 2013 includes the non-cash income tax charge as a result of a change in a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Debt balance: Total long term debt balance was $637.4 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $441.4 million on December 31, 2012. Titan issued an additional $325 million in 7.875 percent senior secured notes in the first quarter of 2013. Short-term debt balance was $104.9 million at September 30, 2013 and $145.8 million at December 31, 2012. Net debt (debt less cash and investments) was $189.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $252.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Titan International, Inc. Supplemental Consolidated Statement of Income Information Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures-Unaudited Amounts in thousands except earnings per share data
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). This supplemental schedule provides adjusted non-GAAP financial information and a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between non-GAAP financial measure and the financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
The SEC's Regulation G applies to any public disclosure or release of material information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. It has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income assists investors with analyzing our business results as well as with predicting future performance. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure is reviewed by management in order to evaluate the financial performance of each segment as well as the Company as a whole. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as management.
As a result, one should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, prominently disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.
The table below provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for September 30, 2013.
