TITAN MACHINERY INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s agriculture, construction and international customers. Therefore, operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023. The information contained in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year then ended. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 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 Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, and Ukraine.
Russia/Ukraine Geopolitical Conflict
On February 24, 2022, the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict significantly intensified. Titan Machinery Ukraine, LLC("Titan Machinery Ukraine"), the Company's wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiary, has ten locations throughout Ukraine primarily in western and central Ukraine. The Company's ability to maintain adequate liquidity for its operations, in Ukraine, is dependent upon a number of factors, including Titan Machinery Ukraine's revenue and earnings, the impact of the conflict on macroeconomic conditions, and Titan Machinery Ukraine's ability to implement further cost savings measures and cash conservation measures, if necessary. The conflict could have a significant adverse impact upon the Company.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, or indefinite lived intangible assets, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU No. 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities’ financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company has amended most of its credit agreements to include language regarding the successor or alternate rate to LIBOR, and a review of other contracts and agreements is on-going. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

NOTE 3 - 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.
The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by revenue source and segment:

Unbilled Receivables and Deferred Revenue
Unbilled receivables from contracts with customers amounted to $20.6 million and $17.1 million as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively. This increase in unbilled receivables is primarily the result of a seasonal increase in the volume of our service transactions in which we recognize revenue as our work is performed and prior to customer invoicing.
9
Deferred revenue from contracts with customers amounted to $128.2 million and $132.2 million as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively. Our deferred revenue most often increases in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year due to a higher level of customer down payments or prepayments and longer time periods between customer payment and delivery of the equipment asset, and the related recognition of equipment revenue, prior to its seasonal use. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $64.6 million and $37.9 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively. No material amount of revenue was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2022 or 2021 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 parts installed and 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. For such service contracts, we recognize revenue over time in the amount for which we have the right to invoice for services completed to date.
NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLES
The Company provides an allowance for expected credit losses on its nonrental receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics as shown in the table below.
Trade and unbilled receivables from contracts with customers have credit risk and the allowance is determined by applying expected credit loss percentages to aging categories based on historical experience that are updated each quarter. The rates may also be adjusted to the extent future events are expected to differ from historical results. In addition, the allowance is adjusted based on information obtained by continued monitoring of individual customer credit.
Trade receivables from finance companies, other receivables due from manufacturers, and other receivables have not historically resulted in any credit losses to the Company. These receivables are short-term in nature and deemed to be of good credit quality and have no need for any allowance for expected credit losses. Management continually monitors these receivables and should information be obtained that identifies potential credit risk, an adjustment to the allowance would be made if deemed appropriate.
Trade and unbilled receivables from rental contracts are primarily in the United States and are specifically excluded from the accounting guidance in determining an allowance for expected losses. The Company provides an allowance for these receivables based on historical experience and using credit information obtained from continued monitoring of customer accounts.

The increase in the credit loss provision in the International segment, during the three months ended April 30, 2022, was driven by a $0.7 million bad debt provision placed on the accounts receivables due from customers of Titan Machinery Ukraine, primarily due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

NOTE 11 - LEASES
As Lessee
The Company, as lessee, leases certain of its dealership locations, office space, equipment and vehicles under operating and financing classified leasing arrangements. The Company has elected to not record leases with a lease term at commencement of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet; these leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many real estate lease agreements require the Company to pay the real estate taxes on the properties during the lease term and require that the Company maintain property insurance on each of the leased premises. These payments are deemed to be variable lease payments as the amounts may change during the term of the lease. Certain leases include renewal options that can extend the lease term for periods of one to ten years. Most real estate leases grant the Company a right of first refusal or other options to purchase the real estate, generally at fair market value, either during the lease term or at its conclusion. In most cases, the Company has not included these renewal and purchase options within the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Most often, the Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease and thus applies its incremental borrowing rate to capitalize the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate by incorporating considerations of lease term, asset class and lease currency and geographical market. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material non-lease components, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company subleases a small number of real estate assets to third-parties, primarily dealership locations for which it has ceased operations. All sublease arrangements are classified as operating leases.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

As Lessor
The Company rents equipment to customers, primarily in the Construction segment, on a short-term basis. Our rental arrangements generally do not include minimum, noncancellable periods as the lessee is entitled to cancel the arrangement at any time. Most often, our rental arrangements extend for periods ranging from a few days to a few months. We maintain a fleet of dedicated rental assets within our Construction segment and, within all segments, we may also provide short-term rentals of certain equipment inventory assets. Some rental arrangements may include rent-to-purchase options whereby customers are given a period of time to exercise an option to purchase the related equipment at an established price with any rental payments paid applied to reduce the purchase price.
All of the Company's leasing arrangements as lessor are classified as operating leases. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental period. Rental revenue includes amounts charged for loss and damage insurance on rented equipment. In most cases, our rental arrangements include non-lease components, including delivery and pick-up services. The Company accounts for these non-lease components separate from the rental arrangement and recognizes the revenue associated with these components when the service is performed. The Company has elected to exclude from rental revenue all sales, value added and other taxes collected from our customers concurrent with our rental activities. Rental billings most often occur on a monthly basis and may be billed in advance or in arrears, thus creating unbilled rental receivables or deferred rental revenue amounts. The Company manages the residual value risk of its rented assets by (i) monitoring the quality, aging and anticipated retail market value of our rental fleet assets to determine the optimal period to remove an asset from the rental fleet, (ii) maintaining the quality of our assets through on-site parts and service support and (iii) requiring physical damage insurance of our lessee customers. We primarily dispose of our rental assets through the sale of the asset by our retail sales force.
Revenue generated from leasing activities is disclosed, by segment, in Note 3. The following is the balance of our dedicated rental fleet assets, included in Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, of our Construction segment as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022:

NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's foreign currency contracts, which are either assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, was not material. These foreign currency contracts were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which is an income approach, utilizing readily observable market data as inputs, which is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Company also valued certain long-lived assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 31, 2022 as part of its long-lived asset impairment testing. The estimated fair value of such assets as of January 31, 2022 was $3.1 million. Fair value was estimated through an income approach incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs, and are deemed to be Level 3 fair value inputs. The most significant unobservable inputs include forecasted net cash generated from the use of the assets and the discount rate applied to such cash flows to arrive at a fair value estimate. In addition, in certain instances the Company estimated the fair value of long-lived assets to approximate zero as no future cash flows were assumed to be generated from the use of such assets and the expected value to be realized upon disposition was deemed to be nominal.
The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, including cash, receivables, payables and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022. Fair value of these financial instruments was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs. The estimated fair value of the Company's Level 2 long-term debt, which is provided for disclosure purposes only, is as follows:

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate was 25.6% and 22.9% for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 were subject to various factors such as the impact of certain discrete items, mainly the vesting of share-based compensation, the mix of domestic and foreign income, and recognition of a valuation allowance on certain of our foreign deferred tax assets.

The recognition of goodwill in the above business combinations arose from the acquisition of an assembled workforce and anticipated synergies expected to be realized. For the business combination occurring during the period ended April 30, 2022, the Company recognized a non-competition intangible asset of $0.1 million and a distribution rights intangible asset of $0.8 million. For the business combination occurring during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recognized a non-competition intangible asset of $0.1 million and a distribution rights intangible asset of $3.9 million. The non-competition assets will be amortized over periods ranging from three to five years. The distribution rights assets are indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization. The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets using a multi-period excess earnings model, which is an income approach. Acquisition related costs were not material for the periods ended April 30, 2022 or January 31, 2022, and have been expensed as incurred and recognized as Operating Expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 15 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged in legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention. 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 its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These matters, however, are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any matter is not predictable.
NOTE 16 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.
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, one of the largest retail dealers of Case Construction equipment in North America and one of the largest retail dealers of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the United States. We operate our business through three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and 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.
Demand for agricultural equipment and, to a lesser extent, parts and service support, is impacted by agricultural commodity prices and net farm income. Based on February 2022 U.S. Department of Agriculture publications, the estimate of net farm income for calendar year 2022 indicated an approximate 4.5% decrease as compared to calendar year 2021, and an approximate 25.1% increase in net farm income for calendar year 2021 as compared to calendar year 2020.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, our net income was $17.5 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to a fiscal 2022 first quarter net income of $10.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.79 for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $0.46 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
•Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by 23.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Total company same store sales increased 22.1% compared to the prior year first quarter. Same store sales increased in each of our three reporting segments.
•Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 25.0% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of strong equipment sales and equipment gross profit margins increasing to 12.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 from 11.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
•Floorplan and other interest expense decreased a combined 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the first quarter last year, due to lower borrowings.
Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
Since the onset of the active conflict in February 2022, most of Titan Machinery Ukraine's customers have been able to continue their work, although at a reduced capacity and schedule. The Company's websites and phone systems have continued to function but could be negatively impacted in the future. Some of Titan Machinery Ukraine's back office employees have been able to relocate outside of Ukraine and continue to work, while the customer support and sales teams have remained in Ukraine. The conflict could have a significant adverse effect upon the Company.
As of April 30, 2022, the Company had total assets of $35.0 million in Ukraine. The physical assets (e.g. inventory and fixed assets) are almost exclusively located in central and western areas of the country. Total assets in Ukraine as of January 31, 2022, was $32.7 million.
The situation is highly complex and continues to evolve. If the Company cannot provide efficient and uninterrupted services, this could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and business in Ukraine. In addition, the Company's ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations in Ukraine is dependent on a number of factors, including Titan Machinery Ukraine's revenue and earnings, which could be significantly impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. Further, any additional military movement back into central and western Ukraine or any major threat to civilians or international banking disruption could materially impact the operations and liquidity of Titan Machinery Ukraine and the Company.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company
We continue to monitor the progression of COVID-19 and its impact on our business. As this pandemic continues, we are following the directives and advice of government leaders and medical professionals and continue to attempt to mitigate its impact on our employees, customers, vendors, and other business partners, and communities in which we live and work.
While there was no material adverse impacts on the Company's results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2022 or 2021, uncertainty remains regarding the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and the resulting potential future financial effects. Increased infection rates and any future responses to mitigate the spread of the virus, including any potential vaccination mandates that would apply to our employees, could impact our business and our financial results of future periods.
Acquisitions
Fiscal 2023
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of Mark's Machinery, Inc. The acquired business consisted of two agricultural equipment stores in Wagner and Yankton, South Dakota. These locations are included in our Agriculture segment. In its most recent fiscal year, Mark's Machinery, Inc. generated revenue of approximately $34.0 million. The total cash consideration paid for the acquired business was $7.7 million.
Fiscal 2022
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of Jaycox Implement, Inc. The acquired business consisted of three agricultural equipment stores in Worthington and Luverne, Minnesota and Lake Park, Iowa. These locations are included in our Agriculture segment. In its most recent fiscal year, Jaycox Implement, Inc. generated revenue of approximately $91 million. The total cash consideration paid for the acquired business was $33.6 million.
ERP Transition
The Company is in the process of converting to a new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") application. The new ERP application is expected to provide data-driven and mobile-enabled sales and support tools to improve employee efficiency and deliver an enhanced customer experience. The Company integrated one pilot store on the new ERP system in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and also integrated the five stores acquired through the Jaycox Implement and Mark's Machinery acquistions in December 2021 and April 2022, respectively. We expect to begin our phased roll-out to the remaining domestic locations, beginning in the second half of fiscal 2023.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 25.0% or $17.7 million, as compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin also improved to 19.2% in the current quarter from 19.0% in the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to stronger equipment margins, which were positively impacted by a healthy inventory and favorable end market conditions. The increase in equipment margins, was partially offset by the gross profit mix shift, to lower margin equipment sales relative to parts, service, and rental sales.
Our Company-wide absorption rate — which is calculated by dividing our gross profit from sales of parts, service and rental fleet by our operating expenses, less commission expense on equipment sales, plus interest expense on floorplan payables and rental fleet debt — increased to 80.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 76.0% during the same period last year as the increase in gross profit from parts, rental fleet, and service in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 combined with lower floorplan interest expenses more than offset the increase in operating expenses during the period.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in variable expenses associated with increased sales. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 from 15.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was due to the increase in total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which positively affected our ability to leverage our fixed operating costs.

Agriculture
Agriculture segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 38.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The higher revenue was driven primarily by an increase in same-store sales of 26.3% and our acquistions of Jaycox Implement and Mark's Machinery, completed in December 2021 and April 2022, respectively. The same-store sales increase was primarily driven by favorable commodity prices and higher net farm income.
Agriculture segment income before income taxes was $16.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $11.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Higher equipment revenue along with increased gross profit margin on equipment were the primary drivers of the increase in income before income taxes.
Construction
Construction segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 2.4% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. However, after taking into account the divestiture of the Billings, Great Falls, and Missoula, Montana, and Gillette, Wyoming stores in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023 divestiture of our consumer products store in North Dakota, same-store sales in our Construction segment increased 24.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Higher same store sales were driven by increased construction activity throughout our footprint.
Our Construction segment income before taxes was $3.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The improvement in segment results was primarily due to an increase in same store sales, as described above, the sale of our consumer products store, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in a gain of $1.4 million and increased equipment gross profit margin. An increase in rental fleet utilization, led to an increase in rental gross profit margin, also contributed to the improvement in segment results. The dollar utilization — which is calculated by dividing the rental revenue earned on our rental fleet by the average gross carrying value of our rental fleet (comprised of original equipment costs plus additional capitalized costs) for that period — of our rental fleet increased from 19.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 to 24.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
International
International segment revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 1.3% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Higher segment revenue was driven by many of the same macroeconomic factors as the Agriculture segment, which has improved customer sentiment and has had a positive impact on equipment sales. The increase in revenue was partially offset by lower revenues in our Ukrainian subsidiary, which was impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the first quarter of fiscal
25
2023. Same-store sales in our International segment increased 6.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by an increase in equipment sales.
Our International segment income before income taxes was $4.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to segment income before income taxes of $2.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in segment pre-tax income was primarily the result of increased equipment sales and equipment gross profit margin. This increase was partially offset by a $0.7 million estimated bad debt provision on our accounts receivables with customers of Titan Machinery Ukraine.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
We incur centralized expenses/income at our general corporate level, which we refer to as “Shared Resources,” and then allocate most of these net expenses to our segments. Since these allocations are set early in the year, unallocated balances may occur. Shared Resources loss before income taxes was $0.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.5 million for the same period last year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"), both GAAP measures, we present adjusted net income and adjusted Diluted EPS, both non-GAAP measures, which include adjustments for items such as foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses in Ukraine. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income 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 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.
The following tables reconcile (i) net income, a GAAP measure, to adjusted net income and (ii) Diluted EPS, a GAAP measure, to adjusted Diluted EPS:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our floorplan and other credit facilities. We expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other investments in our business, service our debt, pay our tax and lease obligations and other commitments and contingencies, and meet any seasonal operating requirements for the foreseeable future,
26
provided that our borrowing capacity under our credit agreements is dependent on compliance with various covenants as further described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Equipment Inventory and Floorplan Payable Credit Facilities
As of April 30, 2022, the Company had floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling $751.0 million, which is primarily comprised of a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Industrial, a $185.0 million floorplan payable line under the Bank Syndicate Agreement, and a $50.0 million credit facility with DLL Finance.
Our equipment inventory turnover increased from 2.3 times for the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2021 to 3.5 times for the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2022. The increase in equipment turnover was attributable to an increase in equipment sales and a decrease in average equipment inventory over the rolling 12 month period ended April 30, 2022 as compared to the same period ended April 30, 2021. Our equity in equipment inventory, which reflects the portion of our equipment inventory balance that is not financed by floorplan payables, decreased to 51.2% as of April 30, 2022 from 58.2% as of January 31, 2022. The decrease was due to more inventory being financed with non-interest bearing floorplan lines of credit.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our operating activities, including the purchase of inventories and providing for other working capital needs, meeting our debt service requirements, making payments due under our various leasing arrangements, and funding capital expenditures, including rental fleet assets. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under our existing credit facilities will adequately provide for our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months.
As of April 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our CNH Industrial and DLL Finance credit agreements and we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Bank Syndicate Agreement as our adjusted excess availability plus eligible cash collateral (as defined therein) was not less than 15% of the lesser of (i) aggregate borrowing base and (ii) maximum credit amount as of April 30, 2022. While not expected to occur, if anticipated operating results were to create the likelihood of a future covenant violation, we would expect to work with our lenders on an appropriate modification or amendment to our financing arrangements.
Cash Flow
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $27.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. The change in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily the result of an increase in inventories partially offset by an increase in non-interest bearing floorplan lines of credit from manufacturers and higher net income for the first three months of fiscal 2023.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $11.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023, compared to $9.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily the result of the business acquisition of Mark's Machinery in the first three months of fiscal 2023.
Cash Flow Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023 compared to cash used for financing activities of $6.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of proceeds from the financing of real estate, owned by the Company, and increased non-manufactured floorplan payables in the first three months of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period last year.
Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 30, 2022, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Therefore, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

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, 2022, 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 $0.3 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 $0.3 million. At April 30, 2022, we had floorplan payables of $188.9 million, of which approximately $29.4 million was variable-rate floorplan payable and $159.5 million was non-interest bearing. In addition, at April 30, 2022, we had total long-term debt, including finance lease obligations, of $96.6 million, of which all 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, 2022, 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, 2022, our Ukrainian subsidiary had $0.7 million of net monetary assets denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia ("UAH"). We have attempted to minimize our net monetary asset position in Ukraine through reducing overall asset levels in Ukraine and at times through borrowing in UAH which serves as a natural hedging instrument offsetting our net UAH denominated assets. In February 2022, the National Bank of Ukraine imposed certain currency and payment controls. While this has made it more difficult to manage our UAH exposure, the agriculture industry is classified as a critical industry allowing the conversion of UAH for certain parts and equipment invoices. The continuation of political tensions in the Russia/Ukraine conflict could lead to more significant UAH devaluations. The inability to fully manage our net monetary asset position and continued UAH devaluations for an extended period of time, could have a significant 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.
