NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019. The information contained in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2018 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year then ended. These 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, 2018 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 and Europe. The Company’s North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.
On April 30, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire all ownership interests of two commonly-controlled German entities, AGRAM Landtechnikvertrieb GmbH and AGRAM Landtechnik Rollwitz GmbH (collectively, "AGRAM"), which consist of four Case IH agriculture dealership locations in Germany. In its most recent fiscal year, AGRAM generated revenue of approximately $30.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close in July 2018.
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, 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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)
The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic EPS was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period.
7
Diluted EPS was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted EPS. All anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the denominator for basic and diluted EPS:

Recent Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
The Company adopted ASC 606 as of February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning after February 1, 2018 are presented under the guidelines of ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment of initially applying the standard as no material adjustments to contracts not completed as of the date of adoption were identified. The adoption of ASC 606 did not materially impact the amount of revenue recognized or any other financial statement line item as of and for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The Company has included the additional disclosures required under ASC 606 in Notes 2, 3 and 7.
Accounting guidance not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842, Leases. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. We anticipate adopting the new standard on February 1, 2019, and expect to elect the package of practical expedients afforded under the guidance, including the use of hindsight to determine the lease term. Our implementation efforts to date have consisted of identifying the Company's lease population, selecting a lease software to implement that will assist with the reporting and disclosure requirements under the standard and continuing the process of abstracting and validating the Company's lease information.
While we continue to evaluate this standard, we anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets due to the capitalization of a right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with our current operating leases in which we are the lessee, but do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Our rental fleet and equipment inventory rental activities in which we are the lessor in the transaction
8
are also subject to ASC 842. While our evaluation of the impact of this standard is ongoing, we do not believe the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows for such transactions.
In August 2017, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on hedge accounting, codified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments better align the accounting rules with a company's risk management activities, better reflects economic results of hedging in financial statements, and simplifies hedge accounting treatment. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. The Company does not believe the update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2— REVENUE
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to collect in exchange for those goods or services. Sales, value added and other taxes collected from our customers concurrent with our revenue activities are excluded from revenue.

Total revenues | $ | 142,870 | $ | 62,091 | $ | 40,717 | $ | 245,678 |
Equipment Revenue
Equipment revenue transactions include the sale of new and used agricultural and construction equipment. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time, primarily upon the delivery of the product. Once a product is delivered, the customer has physical possession of the asset, can direct the use of the asset, and has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. Equipment transactions often include both cash and noncash consideration. Cash consideration is paid directly by our customers or by third-party financial institutions financing our customer transactions. Noncash consideration is in the form of trade-in equipment assets. We assign a value to trade-in assets by estimating a future selling price, which we estimate based on relevant internal and third-party data, less a gross profit amount to be realized at the time the trade-in asset is sold and an estimate of any reconditioning work required to ready the asset for sale. Both cash and noncash consideration can be received prior to or after our performance obligation is satisfied. Any consideration received prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligation is recognized as deferred revenue. Receivables recognized for amounts not paid at the time our performance obligation is satisfied, including amounts due from third-party financial institutions, generally do not have established payment terms but are collected in relatively short time periods.
For certain equipment sale transactions, the Company provides a residual value guarantee to CNH Industrial Capital in connection with a customer leasing arrangement in which we sell the equipment to CNH Industrial Capital, who simultaneously executes a leasing arrangement with our end-user customer. The amount of revenue recognized for the sale of the equipment asset is reduced by, and we recognize a corresponding liability equal to, our estimate of the amount that is probable of being paid under the guarantee discounted at a rate of interest to reflect the risk inherent in the liability.
Also included in equipment revenue are net commissions earned for serving as the agent in facilitating sales of equipment assets we hold as consignee on behalf of the consignor, as well as net commissions earned for facilitating the sale of extended warranty protection plans provided by our suppliers or third-party insurance providers.
We have elected, as a practical expedient, to recognize sales commissions earned on the sale of equipment inventory as an expense when incurred because the amortization period of this cost if it was otherwise capitalized would be less than one year. These costs are recorded in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
9
Parts Revenue
We sell a broad range of maintenance and replacement parts for both equipment that we sell and other types of equipment. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue at a point in time, upon delivery of the product to the customer. Once a product is delivered, the Company has a present right to payment, the customer has physical possession of the asset, can direct the use of the asset, and has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. In many cases, customers tender payment at the time of delivery. Balances not paid at the time of delivery are typically due in full within 30 days. Most parts are sold with a thirty-day right of return or exchange. Historically, parts returns have not been material.
Parts revenue also includes the retail value of parts inventories consumed during the course of customer repair and maintenance services and services provided under manufacturer warranties. As further described below, we recognize revenue from these activities over time.
Service Revenue
We provide repair and maintenance services, including repairs performed under manufacturer warranties, for our customer’s equipment. We recognize service and associated parts revenue of our repair and maintenance services over time as we transfer control of these goods and services over time. The Company recognizes revenue over time in the amount to which we have the right to invoice the customer as such an amount corresponds to the value of our performance completed to date. Generally, the Company has the right to invoice the customer for labor hours incurred and parts inventories consumed during the performance of the service arrangement. Customer invoicing most often occurs at the conclusion of our repair and maintenance services. Accordingly, we recognize unbilled receivables for the amount of unbilled labor hours incurred and parts inventories consumed under our repair and maintenance arrangements. Upon customer invoicing, unbilled receivables are reclassified to receivables. In many cases, customers tender payment at the completion of our work and the creation of the invoice. Balances not paid at the time of invoicing are typically due in full within 30 days.
Other Revenue
Other revenues primarily consist of fees charged in connection with short-haul equipment delivery and pick-up services, in which revenue is recognized at a point in time when the service is completed, and Global Positioning System ("GPS") signal subscriptions, in which revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.
Rental Revenue
We rent equipment to our customers on a short-term basis for periods ranging from a few days to a few months. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the related rental agreement. Revenue from rental equipment delivery and pick-up services is recognized when the service is performed.
Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue
Unbilled receivables amounted to $12.9 million and $11.0 million as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018. The increase in unbilled receivables is primarily the result of the recognition of revenue under our service arrangements prior to customer invoicing less reclassifications from unbilled receivables to receivables as our service work is completed and customer invoicing occurs.
Deferred revenue amounted to $30.9 million and $30.1 million as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018. The slight increase in deferred revenue is driven by cash and noncash consideration received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, but substantially offset by $17.2 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2018 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at January 31, 2018.
No material amount of revenue was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The Company has elected as a practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of service of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The contracts for which the practical expedient has been applied include (i) equipment revenue transactions, which do not have a stated contractual term, but are short-term in nature, and (ii) service revenue transactions, which also do not have a stated contractual term but are generally completed within 30 days and for such contracts we recognize revenue over time at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services completed to date.

NOTE 6—LINES OF CREDIT / FLOORPLAN PAYABLE
Floorplan Lines of Credit
Floorplan payable balances reflect the amount owed for new equipment inventory purchased from a manufacturer and for used equipment inventory, which is primarily acquired through trade-in on equipment sales. Certain of the manufacturers from which the Company purchases new equipment inventory offer financing on these purchases, either offered directly from the manufacturer or through the manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries. CNH Industrial's captive finance subsidiary, CNH Industrial Capital, also provides financing of used equipment inventory. The Company also has floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders for new and used equipment inventory. Cash flows associated with manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as operating cash flows, while cash flows associated with non-manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as financing cash flows in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company has three significant floorplan lines of credit for U.S. operations, floorplan credit facilities for its foreign subsidiaries, and other floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders and manufacturers.
As of April 30, 2018, the Company had discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment inventory purchases totaling approximately $629.4 million, which includes a $140.0 million floorplan payable line of credit under our second amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo (the "Wells Fargo Credit Agreement"), a $350.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $30.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $109.4 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $299.3 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $320.9 million outstanding as of April 30, 2018 and $239.2 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $247.4 million outstanding as of January 31, 2018. The remaining outstanding balances relate to equipment inventory financing from manufacturers and non-manufacturer lenders other than the lines of credit described above. As of April 30, 2018, the interest-bearing U.S. floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 4.13% to 6.75%, and the foreign floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 0.92% to 7.91%.
As of April 30, 2018, the Company had a compensating balance arrangement under one of its foreign floorplan credit facilities, which requires a minimum cash deposit to be maintained with the lender in the amount of $5.0 million for the term of the credit facility.
Working Capital Line of Credit
As of April 30, 2018, the Company had a $60.0 million working capital line of credit under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. The Company had no amount and $13.0 million outstanding on this line of credit as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018. As of April 30, 2018, the working capital line of credit carried an interest rate of 4.13%.
Wells Fargo Credit Agreement
In February 2018, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement was amended to (i) move the maturity testing date under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement from November 1, 2018 to February 1, 2019, a date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Company's outstanding senior convertible notes, and (ii) modify the maturity test calculation. The maturity date for the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement will remain October 28, 2020 so long as (i) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio for the 12 month period ending December 31, 2018 is at least 1.1 to 1.0 and (ii) a liquidity test, requiring that the Company have unrestricted cash on hand plus excess borrowing availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (on a pro-forma basis reflecting the Company's repayment in full of its outstanding senior convertible notes) in an amount that is greater than 20% of the maximum credit amount under the facility, are met on February 1, 2019. If both financial tests are not satisfied on February 1, 2019, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement will immediately mature and all amounts outstanding become immediately due and payable in full.
CNH Industrial Capital Floorplan Payable Line of Credit
In April 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital. The amendment decreased available borrowings under this facility from $450.0 million to $350.0 million.
In May 2018, the Company entered into an additional amendment to the credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital. This amendment decreased our U.S. available borrowings under this facility from $350.0 million to $320.0 million. Concurrent with this amendment, CNH Industrial increased the available borrowing capacity of our international subsidiaries from $50.0 million to $80.0 million.

As of April 30, 2018, the unamortized debt discount will be amortized over a remaining period of approximately 1.0 year. As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the if-converted value of the senior convertible notes did not exceed the principal balance. The effective interest rate of the liability component was equal to 7.3% for each of the consolidated statements of operations periods presented.

NOTE 9—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.
Cash Flow Hedge
On October 9, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap instrument, which had a notional amount of $100.0 million, an effective date of September 30, 2014 and a maturity date of September 30, 2018. The objective of the instrument was to, beginning on September 30, 2014, protect the Company from changes in benchmark interest rates to which the Company was exposed through certain of its variable interest rate credit facilities. The instrument provided for a fixed interest rate of 1.901% up to the maturity date. The interest rate swap instrument was designated as a cash flow hedging instrument and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instrument have been recorded in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period(s) in which the related hedged item affects earnings or the anticipated underlying hedged transactions are no longer probable of occurring.
In April 2017, the Company elected to terminate the interest rate swap instrument. The Company paid $0.9 million to terminate the instrument. This cash payment is presented as a financing cash outflow in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
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 following table sets forth the notional value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments.

(b) Amounts are included in interest income and other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
14
During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Company reclassified $0.6 million of pre-tax accumulated losses on its interest rate swap instrument from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to income as the original forecasted interest payments, which served as the hedged item underlying the interest rate swap instrument, were no longer probable of occurring during the time period over which such transactions were previously anticipated to occur.
NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company's foreign currency contracts, which are liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, was not material. These foreign currency contracts were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, an income approach, utilizing readily observable market data as inputs, which is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. The carrying amount of cash, receivables, payables, short-term debt and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity and/or frequent repricing of those instruments, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. Based upon current borrowing rates for similar instruments with similar maturities, which are Level 2 fair value inputs, the carrying value of long-term debt approximates the fair value as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018. The following table provides details on the senior convertible notes as of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018. The difference between the face value and the carrying value of these notes is the result of the allocation between the debt and equity components, and unamortized debt issuance costs. Fair value of the senior convertible notes was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.

NOTE 11—SEGMENT INFORMATION AND OPERATING RESULTS
The Company has three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and International. Revenue between segments is immaterial. The Company retains various unallocated income/(expense) items and assets at the general corporate level, which the Company refers to as “Shared Resources” in the table below. Shared Resources assets primarily consist of cash and property and equipment.
Certain financial information for each of the Company’s business segments is set forth below.

NOTE 12—RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In February 2017, to better align the Company's cost structure and business in certain markets, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan"), to close one Construction location and 14 Agriculture locations. As of January 31, 2018, the Company had closed and fully exited all of these locations and had completed its Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan.
Restructuring costs associated with the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan are summarized in the following table:

As of April 30, 2018 and January 31, 2018, $2.1 million and $4.8 million of the exit cost liability is included in other long-term liabilities and $0.2 million and $1.0 million are included in accrued expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheets.
In April 2018, the Company paid $3.0 million to terminate the real estate lease agreement for one of the Company's previously closed stores. The termination payment approximated the recorded lease accrual liability and therefore the impact to the consolidated statement of operations was not material.
NOTE 13— INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate was 25.5% and 37.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2017 was primarily due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate as a result of the enactment on December 22, 2017 of the federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act makes broad changes to the U.S. tax code, including, among other things, to reduce the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, creates a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), creates a new limitation on deductible interest expense, and modifies the rules related to uses and limitations of net operating losses.
The Company has applied the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Tax Act. As of April 30, 2018, the Company is continuing to evaluate the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act. Under U.S. accounting rules, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy election of either treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred or factoring such amounts into our measurement of deferred taxes. The Company has not made a policy decision regarding treating future GILTI inclusions as a current period expense or recognizing deferred taxes for such future inclusions. The Company has included the current period estimated tax effects of GILTI within its estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of GILTI on the Company's benefit from income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2018 was not material.
NOTE 14—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective February 1, 2017, the Company and Peter Christianson (our former President and former member of our Board of Directors), who is a brother of Tony Christianson (a member of our Board of Directors), agreed to terminate a consulting arrangement between the parties. In connection with the termination, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Peter Christianson the sum of $0.7 million, payable in two equal installments in fiscal 2018 and 2019. All unvested stock options and shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Peter Christianson will continue to vest as scheduled. As a result of the termination agreement, the Company recognized for the three months ended April 30, 2017, a total of $0.8 million in termination costs, consisting of $0.7 million for future cash payments owed to Mr. Peter Christianson and $0.1 million for unvested shares of restricted stock. These termination costs are included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statements of operations. As of April 30, 2018, all amounts owed to Mr. Peter Christianson have been paid in full.
NOTE 15—CONTINGENCIES
On October 11, 2017, the Romania Competition Council (“RCC”) initiated an administrative investigation of the Romanian Association of Manufacturers and Importers of Agricultural Machinery (“APIMAR”) and all its members, including Titan Machinery Romania. The RCC's investigation involves whether the APIMAR members engaged in anti-competitive practices in their sales of agricultural machinery not involving European Union ("EU") subvention funding programs, by referring to the published sales prices governing EU subvention funded transactions, which prices are mandatorily disclosed to and published by AFIR, a Romanian government agency that oversees the EU subvention funding programs in Romania. The investigation is in a preliminary stage and the Company is currently unable to predict its outcome or reasonably estimate any potential loss that may result from the investigation.
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. Based upon the information available to the Company and discussions with legal counsel, it is the Company's opinion that the outcome of these various legal actions and claims will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Such matters, however, are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any matter is not predictable with assurance.

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 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 year ended January 31, 2018.
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 Case IH Agriculture equipment in the world, the largest retail dealer of Case Construction equipment in North America and a major retail dealer of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We operate our business through three reportable segments, Agriculture, Construction and International. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, service, and equipment rental and other activities.
The agriculture industry has been experiencing challenging conditions such as low agricultural commodity prices and net farm income, which, among other things, have a negative effect on customer sentiment and our customers' ability to secure financing for their equipment purchases. Changes in actual or anticipated net farm income generally have a direct correlation with agricultural equipment purchases by farmers. Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") publications, the most recent estimate of net farm income for calendar year 2017 remained relatively flat as compared to calendar year 2016, but is approximately 25% below the average for the five-year period ending December 31, 2017. Based on its February 2018 report, the USDA projected net farm income for calendar year 2018 to decrease 6.7% as compared to calendar year 2017. These industry conditions have reduced demand for equipment purchases, service work and parts, resulting in decreased same-store sales, equipment revenue and equipment gross profit margin, and have caused an oversupply of equipment inventory in our geographic footprint. In addition, these agriculture industry conditions have also led to a reduction of purchases of construction equipment by customers in the agriculture industry, negatively impacting certain of our Construction stores.
Our net loss was $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. On an adjusted basis, our diluted loss per share was $0.07 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to an adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.19 for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation of of adjusted diluted loss per share to the most comparable GAAP measure. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
• | Revenue decreased 7.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to the first quarter last year. Revenue was negatively impacted by our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, and also impacted by a decrease in Agriculture segment same-store sales, but partially offset by an increase in International same-store sales. |
• | Total gross profit margin increased to 19.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to 18.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily the result of higher gross profit margins on equipment revenues. |
• | Operating expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 10.1%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily as the result of cost savings arising from our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan. |
• | In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 we recognized $2.3 million of restructuring charges associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan. No restructuring charges were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. See the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan section below for further details. |
• | Floorplan interest expense decreased 49.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to the first quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in our interest-bearing inventory in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. |

Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan
In February 2017, to better align the Company's cost structure and business in certain markets, the Company announced a dealership restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan"), which included the closure of one Construction location and 14 Agriculture locations. As of January 31, 2018, the Company had closed and fully exited all of these locations and had completed its Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan. The Company recognized $2.3 million in restructuring charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and a total of $10.5 million in restructuring charges during the full fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
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, 2018. Other than the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance described in Note 1, Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 2, Revenue, there have been no other changes in our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2018.
Results of Operations
The results shown below include the operating results of any acquisitions made during these periods and the operating results of any stores closed during these periods up to the date of the store closure. The period-to-period comparisons included below are not necessarily indicative of future results. Segment information is provided later in this discussion and analysis of our results of operations.
Same-store sales for any period represent sales by stores that were part of the Company for the entire comparable periods in the current and preceding fiscal years. We do not distinguish between relocated or newly-expanded stores in this same-store analysis. Closed stores are excluded from the same-store analysis. Stores that do not meet the criteria for same-store classification are described as excluded stores throughout the Results of Operations section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Comparative financial data for each of our four sources of revenue are expressed below.

The decrease in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was the result of our store closings associated with our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and a same-store sales decrease of 4.0%. Our same-store sales decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in Agriculture segment same-store sales.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 2.8% as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margins increased from 18.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to 19.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of decreased revenue. The improvement in gross profit margin was mainly due to higher gross profit margins on equipment revenue.
Our company-wide absorption increased to 74.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 73.1% during the same period last year as our decrease in gross profit from parts, service and rental and other in fiscal 2019 was more than offset by a reduction in our fixed operating costs and floorplan interest expense.

Our operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased $5.3 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to the same period last year. These decreases are primarily the result of cost savings arising from our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, partially offset by an increase in our International segment operating expenses resulting from the continued build-out of our footprint and presence in our European markets.

Our effective tax rate was 25.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and 37.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") enacted in December 2017. The Tax Act, among other things, reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Our effective tax rate is also subject to variability due to a change in mix of our domestic and foreign income or loss before income taxes in relation to our total income or loss before income taxes, and the impact of valuation allowances recognized for deferred tax assets in certain of our domestic and international jurisdictions.

Agriculture
Agriculture segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 12.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in segment revenue was due to the decrease in store count resulting from our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and a same-store sales decrease of 7.9% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in same-store sales was the result of decreased equipment, parts and service revenues and was primarily the result of soft customer demand with a prolonged winter season in certain of our markets contributing to this decreased demand.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes was $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to a $3.9 million loss before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The increased segment income before income taxes was largely the result of increased gross profit margins on equipment revenues offsetting the impact of lower total revenues, operating expense savings as a result of our Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan, a lack of restructuring charges recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as well as a decrease in floorplan interest expense as the result of a decrease in our interest-bearing inventory in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 2.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
Our Construction segment loss before income taxes was $2.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The slight decrease in segment results was primarily due to a decrease in segment revenues and gross profit but substantially offset by reduced floorplan and other interest expense due to a reduced level of interest-bearing inventory and rental fleet in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The dollar utilization of our rental fleet decreased from 19.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to 18.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 reflecting the soft rental demand in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
International
International segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased 9.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily due to increased equipment revenue. Equipment revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the build-out of our footprint, the continued availability of subvention funds and strong calendar year 2017 crop yields in certain of our markets.
Our International segment loss before income taxes was $0.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $0.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in segment results was primarily due to the increase in operating expenses resulting from the continued build-out of our footprint and presence in our European markets.
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 Resource loss before income taxes was $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to loss before income taxes of $3.5 million for the same period last year. For the first quarter of fiscal 2018, loss before income taxes was impacted by $0.8 million in restructuring costs related to the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan and $0.6 million in floorplan interest expense related to the termination and reclassification of our interest rate swap.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income (loss) and our diluted earnings (loss) per share ("Diluted EPS"), both GAAP measures, we present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted Diluted EPS, both non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains or losses on repurchases of senior convertible notes, costs associated with our restructuring activities and the reclassification of accumulated losses on our interest rate swap. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted Diluted EPS is relevant and useful to our management and investors because it provides a measurement of earnings on activities that we consider to occur in the ordinary course of our business. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted Diluted EPS should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most comparable GAAP measure. In addition, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures in a different manner, which may hinder comparability of our adjusted results with those of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our floorplan payable 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, however, 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 Payable Credit Facilities
As of April 30, 2018, the Company had discretionary floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling approximately $629.4 million, which included a $140.0 million floorplan payable line under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, a $350.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial Capital, a $30.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $109.4 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payables relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $299.3 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $320.9 million outstanding as of April 30, 2018.
Our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement includes a maturity testing date of February 1, 2019, a date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Company's outstanding senior convertible notes. The maturity date for the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement will be October 28, 2020 so long as (i) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio for the 12 month period ending December 31, 2018 is at least 1.1 to 1.0 and (ii) a liquidity test, requiring that the Company have unrestricted cash on hand plus excess borrowing availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (on a pro-forma basis reflecting the Company's repayment in full of its outstanding senior convertible notes) in an amount that is greater than 20% of the maximum credit amount under the facility, are met on February 1, 2019. If both financial tests are not satisfied on February 1, 2019, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement will immediately mature and all amounts outstanding become immediately due and payable in full. The Company anticipates, based on our current modeling projections, that these financial tests will be satisfied on February 1, 2019.
Our equipment inventory turnover was 1.7 for the four quarters ended April 30, 2018 compared to 1.5 for the four quarters ended April 30, 2017. The improvement in our equipment inventory turnover was driven by a decrease in our average equipment inventory over the four quarter period ended April 30, 2018 versus our average equipment inventory over the four quarter period ended April 30, 2017. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, decreased to 27.8% as of April 30, 2018 from 38.2% as of January 31, 2018.
Senior Convertible Notes
The Company's senior convertible notes mature on May 1, 2019, unless purchased earlier by the Company, redeemed or converted. The outstanding principal balance of senior convertible notes as of April 30, 2018 was $65.6 million. The Company expects to have sufficient available cash and sufficient available borrowing capacity under its various floorplan payable and other credit facilities to satisfy the principal balance of our senior convertible notes on the May 1, 2019 maturity date.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our operating activities, including the purchase of inventories and providing for other working capital needs, meeting our debt service requirements, making payments due under our various leasing arrangements, funding capital expenditures, including rental fleet assets, and, from time to time, opportunistically repurchasing our outstanding senior convertible notes. 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 our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months. Our main financing arrangements, under which we had discretionary floorplan lines of credit totaling approximately $629.4 million as of April 30, 2018, are described in Note 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As of April 30, 2018, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our credit agreements, and we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement as our adjusted excess availability plus eligible cash collateral (as defined therein) was not less than 15% of the total amount of the credit facility as of April 30, 2018. While not expected to occur, if anticipated operating results 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.
25
Cash Flow
Cash Flow Provided By (Used For) Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $27.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $40.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Net cash used for operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was primarily the result of cash used for seasonal stocking of inventory, net of manufacturer floorplan payable financing. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was primarily attributable to a changing mix of manufacturer versus non-manufacturer floorplan financing.
We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and maintaining a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory. Taking these adjustments into account, our adjusted cash flow used for operating activities was $25.6 million and $6.8 million for the first quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. The additional adjusted cash flow used for operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 is primarily the result of a higher stocking of new equipment inventories in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See the Adjusted Cash Flow Reconciliation below for a reconciliation of adjusted cash flow used for operating activities to the GAAP measure of cash flow provided by operating activities.
Cash Flow Used For Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to $9.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Cash used for investing activities was primarily for the purchase of rental fleet and property and equipment, net of any proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Cash Flow Provided By (Used For) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $33.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $28.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. For the first quarter of fiscal 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was the result of increased non-manufacturer floorplan payables, net of the repayment of all outstanding amounts under our working capital line under our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. For the first quarter of fiscal 2018, net cash used for financing activities was the result of paying down our non-manufacturer floorplan payables, increased borrowings under our working capital line under our Wells Fargo Credit Agreement and the $19.3 million of cash used to repurchase senior convertible notes. We may, from time to time, continue to repurchase our senior convertible notes depending on prevailing market conditions, our available liquidity and other factors. These repurchases may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted Cash Flow Reconciliation
We consider our cash flow from operating activities to include all equipment inventory financing activity regardless of whether we obtain the financing from a manufacturer or other source. GAAP requires the cash flows associated with non-manufacturer floorplan payables to be recognized as financing cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. We consider equipment inventory financing with both manufacturers and other sources to be part of the normal operations of our business. We also evaluate our cash flow from operating activities by assuming a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory. Our equity in our equipment inventory reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables. Our adjustment to maintain a constant level of equity in our equipment inventory is equal to the difference between our actual level of equity in equipment inventory at each period-end as presented in the consolidated balance sheets compared to the actual level of equity in equipment inventory at the beginning of the fiscal year. We refer to this measure of cash flow as Adjusted Cash Flow.
Our equity in equipment inventory decreased to 27.8% as of April 30, 2018 from 38.2% as of January 31, 2018, and decreased to 35.5% as of April 30, 2017 from 41.7% as of January 31, 2017.
Adjusted Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Cash Flow is relevant and useful to our investors because it provides information on activities we consider to be the normal operation of our business, regardless of financing source and level of financing for our equipment inventory. The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used for) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to adjusted net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities, a GAAP measure, to adjusted cash flow provided by (used

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 30, 2018, 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. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships. In the normal course of our business activities, we lease real estate, vehicles and equipment under operating leases.

Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results 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, 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 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we are not aware of any other factors, aside from those discussed in our Form 10-K, that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, 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 and/or operating results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to changes in interest rates results from borrowing activities used to fund operations. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair value of financial instruments but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have both fixed and floating rate financing. Some of our floating rate credit facilities contain minimum rates of interest to be charged. Based upon our interest-bearing balances and interest rates as of April 30, 2018, 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 $1.5 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 $1.5 million. At April 30, 2018, we had floorplan payables of $320.9 million, of which approximately $153.5 million was variable-rate floorplan payable and $167.4 million was non-interest bearing. In addition, at April 30, 2018, we had total long-term debt, including our senior convertible notes, of $84.7 million, all of which was fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our foreign currency exposures arise as the result of our foreign operations. We are exposed to transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through our foreign entities’ holding assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency transaction risk as a result of certain intercompany financing transactions. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, or through natural hedging instruments. Based upon balances and exchange rates as of April 30, 2018, holding other variables constant, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. As of April 30, 2018, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $5.0 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 through borrowing in UAH which serves as a natural hedging instrument offsetting our net UAH denominated assets. At certain times, currency and payment controls imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine have limited our ability to manage our net monetary asset position. While the UAH remained relatively stable in fiscal 2018 and thus far in fiscal 2019, an escalation of political tensions or economic instability could lead to further, significant UAH devaluations which could have a material 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, 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 year ended January 31, 2018, as supplemented in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors, aside from those discussed in our Form 10-K, that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, 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 and/or operating results.
