Paul Reitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our One Titan team delivered another strong quarter by serving our customers well with market-leading products. One of the factors that sets Titan apart as a leader and partner of choice for off-the-road tires, wheels and undercarriage solutions is our emphasis on innovation. Farmers are increasingly relying on financial analysis as a key element of their decision making and with that in mind, innovative technologies such as our Low Sidewall, or LSW, offer them significant ROI. We first introduced our LSWs directly to end-users to prove to farmers that making the change they will find more than enough savings through improved fuel efficiency (up to
Mr. Reitz continued, "Innovation is at the core of Titan and we are proud of the positive impact our products have on the end-users of Ag equipment. We will be soon taking that story to the airwaves via the documentary Viewpoint, featuring Dennis Quaid, that will highlight our innovation from the perspective of people that really understand the Ag market such as Tom and Jeff Sloan from Sloan Implement and the Stallings Family from Delta New Holland."
Mr. Reitz concluded, "We are positioned well to finish the year with good momentum and financial results that will rank as one of the best years in Titan's history. The operating and strategic plans we have put into action over recent years are accomplishing exactly what they were designed to do: mute the cyclicality of certain aspects of our business and drive performance when market conditions are volatile. It's well known that OEMs in the Ag sector significantly overstocked on wheels and tires, and I am especially satisfied in our ability to work through the industry destocking, which we expect will be substantially complete by year-end based on where customer order books currently stand, to drive solid financial performance. We are confident in our ability to finish 2023 with momentum to set the stage for continuing healthy financial results into the future. The mid and long-term demand picture for our products remains healthy in our end markets. Coupled with a balance sheet that allows us the flexibility to invest in our business, both organically and through tactical M&A, should the right opportunity arise, we are highly confident in Titan's long-term prospects."
Full Year 2023 Outlook
The Company is maintaining its previously communicated outlook for FY 2023:
- Revenues are expected to range between
to$1.85 $1.9 billion - Adjusted EBITDA of
to$200 $210 million - Free cash flow to range between
to$110 $120 million - Capital expenditures to range between
to$55 $60 million
David Martin, Chief Financial Officer, added, "As we head into year-end, our third quarter results have us on track for one of the best years in the history of the Company. In particular, our margins continue to be a bright spot, helping drive solid profitability and sustainable free cash flow generation."
Mr. Martin concluded, "That strong free cash flow has allowed us to continue fortifying our balance sheet while also returning capital to shareholders via our share repurchase program. During the third quarter, we generated

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
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 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, 2023 and 2022.
