CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI), a leading global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"The Titan team continues to execute well throughout our businesses as we delivered a strong performance again this quarter," stated Paul Reitz, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "This quarter we experienced sales growth of 18% compared to the third quarter last year that was supported with healthy volume gains.  I want to remind everyone that when looking at quarters sequentially our third quarter production days are impacted by our normal plant maintenance shutdowns and the traditional summer vacation in US and August holidays in Europe.  With that being said, we delivered solid margins this period with adjusted EBITDA of $61 million this quarter that compares to $35 million last year.  This strong performance reflects all of our business units continuing to execute at a high-level.  I've stated numerous times throughout the many global challenges of the past couple years that our Titan team has been exceptional with our determination and resilience, and we are proud of the results that we have produced.

"Titan has significantly strengthened its financial position over the past two years and this quarter was no exception as we generated $40 million in free cash and have reduced our debt by $35 million this quarter.  This reduces our net debt leverage to 1.4 times adjusted EBITDA.  Our strong financial performance over the past couple years when combined with the improvements to our balance sheet and solid free cash flow generation, has meant that Titan has created tremendous shareholder value.

"The business climate is swimming with noise these days, but if you sift through it you will find that Agriculture is standing on solid ground.  We have continually stated that farmers are in a good financial position and the recent USDA reports illustrates that corn and soybean supply-demand will support good pricing into 2024, at a minimum.  Farmers look at crop prices as one of the key indicators for purchasing new equipment.  That combined with pent-up demand from supply chain and labor disruptions at OEM's, along with continuing low levels of available used equipment, bodes well for 2023 large Ag demand.  We believe that the bigger picture view is that large Ag remains in a solid position, and we expect the sector to work through current supply chain challenges with a bright future ahead.  Small Ag equipment inventory levels are starting to normalize to pre-Covid levels, while used small Ag prices remain well above those levels.  However, inventory levels are still below historical norms and there is need to keep current production levels in order to normalize business conditions.  We have a strong customer base in small Ag and will watch inventory and order levels closely as we prepare our 2023 operational plans."

"Our 2022 expectations for sales, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow represent the highest level achieved throughout our long history.  With our performance through three quarters and our current visibility for the remainder of the year, we expect to finish the year at the top end of our previously communicated targets.  We continue to believe the key elements are in place to drive continued positive momentum for the business."

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, were $530.7 million, compared to $450.4 million in the comparable quarter of 2021, an increase of 17.8 percent.  The net sales increase was across all segments and driven by price/product mix and volume, with price having a greater impact in the most recent quarter. The increase in net sales was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of 4.7% or $21 million, primarily due to the weakening euro and Turkish lira. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the third quarter 2022 would have been $551.8 million.

Gross profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $87.6 million, compared to $60.3 million in the comparable prior year period.  Gross margin was 16.5 percent of net sales for the quarter, compared to 13.4 percent of net sales in the comparable prior year period.  The solid growth in gross profit and margin during the third quarter as compared to the prior year period was across all segments and was driven by the impact of increases in net sales, as described previously, and improved operating leverage in our production facilities.  In addition, cost reduction and productivity initiatives continue to be executed across global production facilities.

Selling, general, administrative, research and development (SGARD) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $33.8 million, compared to $34.6 million for the comparable prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, SGARD was 6.4 percent, compared to 7.7 percent for the comparable prior year period.  The decrease in SGARD during the quarter as compared to the prior year was driven primarily by a decrease in legal fees and variable expenses associated with Australian wheel business that was sold in the first quarter of 2022.

Income from operations for the third quarter of 2022 was $50.5 million, or 9.5 percent of net sales, compared to income of $22.9 million, or 5.1 percent of net sales, for the third quarter of 2021.  The increase in income from operations during the quarter as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the higher sales and improvements in gross profit margins.

Brazilian Tax Credits and Income Taxes Paid

In June 2021, the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received a notice that they had prevailed on an existing legal claim in regards to certain non-income (indirect) taxes that had been previously charged and paid. The matter specifically relates to companies' rights to exclude the state tax on goods circulation (a value-added-tax or VAT equivalent, known in Brazil as "ICMS") from the calculation of certain additional indirect taxes (specifically the program of social integration ("PIS") and contribution for financing of social security ("COFINS") levied by the Brazilian States on the sale of goods. 

During the second and third quarter of 2022, the Company submitted the related supporting documentation and received the approval from the Brazilian tax authorities for two of its Brazilian subsidiaries.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $9.5 million and $32.0 million within other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The Company also recorded $1.6 million and $9.4 million of income tax expense associated with the recognition of these indirect tax credits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.  The Company expects to be able to apply the tax credits received to settle the income tax liability that was incurred as a result of the credit. The Company also expects to utilize the majority of the credit against future PIS/COFINS and income tax obligations over the next twelve months.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the company has utilized approximately $10.0 million of the tax credits, which is included within income taxes paid of $27.7 million on the supplemental information of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow.  Excluding the utilization of $10.0 million of tax credits, the company paid approximately $17.7 million of income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, net sales increased 18 percent driven by increased market activity through all of our global operations.  Volume increased from healthy demand in the global agricultural market, reflective of high farm commodity prices and increased farmer income, the need for replacement of an aging large equipment fleet and the need to replenish equipment inventory levels within the equipment dealer channels.

The increase in gross profit and margin is primarily attributable to the impact of increases in net sales as described previously and cost reduction and productivity initiatives executed across global production facilities.  The Company balanced the increases of related raw materials and other inflationary cost impacts with corresponding price increases to protect profitability.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the 19 percent increase in earthmoving/construction net sales was driven by increased demand across all aspects of the construction and mining markets.

The increase in gross profit and margin was primarily driven by better price realization and continued improved production efficiencies stemming from the strong management actions taken to improve profitability for the long-term. The Company balanced the increases related to raw materials and other inflationary cost impacts with corresponding price increases to maintain profitability.

Consumer Segment
(Amounts in thousands)	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,

Income from operations	4,856		3,519		38 %		18,976		7,067		169 %

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the 10 percent increase in net sales was driven by increased market activity, similar to agriculture and construction markets, with growth coming from product growth initiatives.  A portion of the increase in demand related to specialty products in the United States, primarily custom mixing of rubber stock to third parties.

The increase in gross profit and margin was due primarily to sales growth, increased price/product mix and the positive impact of sales volume increases on improved operating leverage.

Titan International, Inc.
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). These supplemental schedules provide a quantitative reconciliation between each of adjusted net income attributable to Titan, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net sales on a constant currency basis, net debt, and net cash provided by (used for) operating activities to free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

We present adjusted net income attributable to Titan, adjusted earnings per common share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net sales on a constant currency basis, net debt and net cash provided by (used for) operating activities to free cash flow, as we believe that they assist investors with analyzing our business results. In addition, management reviews these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the financial performance of each of our segments, as well as the Company's performance as a whole. We believe that the presentation of these non‑GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as management.

Adjusted net income attributable to Titan, adjusted earnings per common share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net sales on a constant currency basis, net debt, and free cash flow should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. One should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. These measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We attempt to 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 adjusted net income attributable to Titan to net income applicable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
