REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST [Abstract]

Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block]

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company has a shareholders’ agreement with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) which was used for the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The agreement contains a settlement put option which is exercisable beginning in July of 2018 and may require Titan to purchase the shares of OEP and RDIF at a value set by the agreement.

The redemption features of the settlement put option are not solely within the Company’s control and the noncontrolling interest is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest separately from total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the redemption value of the settlement put option. If the redemption value is greater than the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest, the increase is adjusted directly to retained earnings of the affected entity, or additional paid-in capital if there are no available retained earnings applicable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company acquired $25 million of additional shares in the consortium owning Voltyre-Prom, increasing Titan's ownership to 43% from 30%. The acquisition of shares was transacted through the conversion of an intercompany note previously held by Titan. As a result of the ownership change, the balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interest increased by $12 million which is comprised of a $3.5 million reclassification of currency translation and an $8.5 million reclassification of other equity.

The following is a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):

	2016				2015
Balance at January 1	$	77,174			$	71,192
Reclassification as a result of ownership change	12,039				—
Income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest	580				149
Currency translation	1,773				(1,641		)
Redemption value adjustment	5,208				2,930
Balance at March 31	$	96,774			$	72,630

This obligation approximates the cost if all remaining shares were purchased by the Company on March 31, 2016, and is presented in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet in redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is treated as mezzanine equity.
