(Unaudited)

1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Titan or the Company) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2019 (the 2018 Form 10-K). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals, and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The 6.50% senior secured notes due 2023 (senior secured notes) were carried at a cost of $395.5 million at June 30, 2019. The fair value of the senior secured notes at June 30, 2019, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $357.8 million.
Cash dividends

New accounting standards:
Adoption of new accounting standards
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (the New Lease Standard) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. Titan elected the modified retrospective with cumulative effect transition approach to adopt the New Lease Standard and thus will not restate its comparative periods in the year of transition. The Company adopted the practical expedients of the New Lease Standard which include (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which resulted in a net credit adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, of $0.6 million. The New Lease Standard did not materially impact operating results or liquidity. Further disclosures related to the New Lease Standard are included in Note 10, Leases.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" effective January 1, 2019. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the 2017 TCJA). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 TCJA and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company recorded a $4.9 million reclassification to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income and increase retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (the New Revenue Standard), effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the New Revenue Standard resulted in the recognition of an immaterial cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, and had an immaterial effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under the New Revenue Standard, which prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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. Titan recognizes revenue when the performance obligations specified in the Company's contracts have been satisfied. Titan's contracts typically contain a single performance obligation that is fulfilled on the date of delivery based on shipping terms stipulated in the contract. The impact of the Company's adoption of the New Revenue Standard on net sales was immaterial and the disaggregation of revenues, which is based on the major markets the Company serves, has not changed from how it is presented in Note 18, Segment Information in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. This standard changed the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under the previous guidance, net benefit cost was reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income, while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations.
The Company early-adopted ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," effective September 30, 2018, using the retrospective approach. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to apply the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. Costs to develop or obtain internal-use software that cannot be capitalized under Subtopic 350-40, such as training costs and certain data conversion costs, also cannot be capitalized for a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update require a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to determine whether an implementation activity relates to the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, or the post-implementation stage. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages will be expensed. As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $7.4 million of implementation costs for the year ended December 31, 2018, from selling, general and administration in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As a result of the retrospective adjustment of the change in accounting principle related to adoption of ASU No. 2018-15, certain amounts in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, were adjusted as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
| As Originally Reported |  | Effect of Change |  | As Adjusted
Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 36,699 |  |  | $ | (2,739 | ) |  | $ | 33,960 |
Income from operations | 16,225 |  |  | 2,739 |  |  | 18,964 |

Disclosure requirements under Topic 718 remain unchanged. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements; no changes were made to the terms or conditions of share-based payments.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, with no resulting changes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

9. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
The Company, in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), owns all of the equity interests in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The Company is party to a shareholders' agreement with OEP and RDIF (Shareholders' Agreement) which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The agreement contains a settlement put option which was exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018. The settlement put option required Titan to purchase the equity interests from OEP and RDIF in Voltyre-Prom with cash or Titan common stock, at a value set by the agreement. The value set by the agreement was the greater of: the aggregate of the investment of the selling party and an amount representing an internal rate of return of 8%, or the last twelve months of EBITDA multiplied by 5.5 less net debt times the selling party's ownership percentage.
On November 14, 2018, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from RDIF. On February 11, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with an affiliate of RDIF relating to the put option that was exercised by RDIF. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement closed on February 22, 2019. Under the terms of the Agreement, in full satisfaction of the settlement put option that was exercised by RDIF, Titan paid to RDIF $25 million in cash at the closing of the transaction, and agreed, subject to the completion of regulatory approval, to issue to RDIF in a private placement 4,032,259 shares of restricted Titan common stock. Due to pending regulatory approval, the issuance of the shares of restricted Titan common stock pursuant to the Agreement was not completed as of June 30, 2019. Immediately following the closing, RDIF continued to own the same interest in Voltyre-Prom, subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement. Titan has retained the right to buy back the Titan shares from RDIF for $25 million during such three-year period and, if the stock buyback is consummated within one year, at the time of such buyback, RDIF would be required to convey to Titan, based on current ownership, a 10.71% interest in Voltyre-Prom, resulting in RDIF reducing its interest in Voltyre-Prom from 35.7% to 25%.
On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from OEP. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made a payment to OEP in the amount of $16 million representing the majority of the interest on the amount due to OEP with respect to the put option. On July 30, 2019, Titan Luxembourg S.à r.l. (the “Titan Purchaser”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale purchase agreement (the “OEP Agreement”) with subsidiaries of OEP, relating to the settlement put option under the Shareholders’ Agreement that was exercised by OEP. Pursuant to the terms of the OEP Agreement, on July 31, 2019, the Titan Purchaser paid to OEP $30.7 million in cash, which, together with the Titan Purchaser’s prior payment to OEP of $16 million during the second quarter of 2019, were made in full satisfaction of the settlement put

option exercised by OEP under the Shareholders’ Agreement. Immediately following the closing, OEP ceased to have any ownership interests in, and the Titan Purchaser and RDIF owned 64.3% and 35.7%, respectively, of, Voltyre-Prom. See Note 23 for additional information.
As of June 30, 2019, the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest held by OEP was recorded at the aggregate of the investment of the selling party and an amount representing an internal rate of return of 8% less the $16 million payment. The redeemable noncontrolling interest held by RDIF was recorded at $25 million, the value of the shares of restricted stock to be issued.
The noncontrolling interest is presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest separately from total equity in the Condensed 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 in the redemption value 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.
The following is a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

| 2019 |  | 2018
Balance at January 1 | $ | 119,813 |  |  | $ | 113,193 |
Reclassification as a result of Agreement regarding put option | (49,883 | ) |  | — |
Payment of interest on redeemable noncontrolling interest | (16,000 | ) |  | — |
Loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest | (599 | ) |  | (461 | )
Currency translation | 749 |  |  | (2,207 | )
Redemption value adjustment | 1,437 |  |  | 7,021 |
Balance at June 30 | $ | 55,517 |  |  | $ | 117,546 |

This obligation approximates the cost to the Company if all remaining equity interests in the consortium were purchased by the Company on June 30, 2019, and is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is treated as mezzanine equity.
10. LEASES
The Company leases certain buildings and equipment under both operating and finance leases. Certain lease agreements provide for renewal options, fair value purchase options, and payment of property taxes, maintenance, and insurance by the Company. Under ASC 842, the Company made an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components such as those previously stated from lease components and instead will treat the lease agreement as a single lease component for all asset classes. Operating right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Titan's obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. The majority of Titan's leases are operating leases. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of Titan's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate (6.79%), based on the information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amortization expense associated with finance leases is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense associated with finance leases is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of twelve months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

12. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company holds a variable interest in three joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Two of the joint ventures operate distribution facilities that primarily distribute mining products. Titan is the 50% owner of one of these distribution facilities, which is located in Canada, and the 40% owner of the other such facility, which is located in Australia. The Company’s variable interests in these two joint ventures relate to sales of Titan product to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. The third joint venture is the consortium that owns Voltyre-Prom. Titan owns 43% of the consortium owning Voltyre-Prom, which is subject to a shareholders' agreement. See Note 9 for additional information.
The Company also holds a variable interest in five other entities for which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities provides specific manufacturing related services at the Company's Tennessee facility. Titan's variable interest in these entities relates to financial support through providing many of the assets used by these entities in their business. The Company owns no equity in these entities.
As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (VIEs), the VIEs’ assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in “Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated because Titan is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's involvement with these entities is in the form of direct equity interests and prepayments related to purchases of materials. The maximum exposure to loss as reflected in the table below represents the loss of assets recognized by Titan relating to non-consolidated entities and amounts due to the non-consolidated assets. The assets and liabilities recognized in Titan's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Titan's interest in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company's maximum exposure to loss related to non-consolidated VIEs as of the dates set forth below were as follows (amounts in thousands):

| $ | 2,069 |  |  | $ | 2,477 |  |  | $ | 3,065 |  |  | $ | 10,227 |

15. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax benefit of $3.2 million and income tax expense of $1.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.3 million and income tax expense of $0.9 million, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was 33% and 17% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and 19% and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company’s 2019 and 2018 income tax expense and rates differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses and a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax positions. In addition, there were non-deductible royalty expenses and statutorily required income adjustments made in certain foreign jurisdictions that negatively impacted the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence primarily includes the past three years' profit and loss positions. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets in U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.
The 2017 TCJA was enacted on December 22, 2017, and included a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses, including a one-time deemed repatriation of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and a permanent reduction in the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Under US GAAP, changes in tax rates and tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment and deferred tax assets and liabilities are re-measured at the enacted tax rate. The re-measured U.S. net deferred asset was fully offset by a change in the valuation allowance in 2017. The Company’s net cumulative undistributed foreign earnings were a cumulative loss and therefore no additional income tax expense related to the one-time deemed repatriation toll charge was recorded in 2017.
The 2017 TCJA also created a new requirement that certain income (i.e., global intangible low taxed income, hereinafter referred to as GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries must be included currently in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. For 2018 and 2019, the Company has estimated an amount of GILTI income that is included in the calculation of 2018 and 2019 income tax expense. This GILTI income inclusion, however, is fully offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

17. LITIGATION
The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. Due to the difficult nature of predicting unresolved and future legal claims, the Company cannot anticipate or predict the material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of efforts to comply with, or liabilities pertaining to, legal judgments.
At June 30, 2019, two of Titan’s subsidiaries were involved in litigation concerning environmental laws and regulations.
In June 2015, Titan Tire Corporation (Titan Tire) and Dico, Inc. (Dico) appealed a U.S. District Court order granting the U.S. motion for summary judgment that found Dico liable for violating the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Order and awarded response costs, civil penalties, and punitive damages.
In December 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed the District Court’s summary judgment order with respect to “arranger” liability for Titan Tire and Dico under CERCLA and the imposition of punitive damages against Dico for violating the EPA Administrative Order, but affirmed the summary judgment order imposing civil penalties in the amount of $1.62 million against Dico for violating the EPA Administrative Order. The case was remanded to the District Court for a new trial on the remaining issues.
The trial occurred in April 2017. On September 5, 2017, the District Court issued an order: (a) concluding Titan Tire and Dico arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 9607(a); (b) holding Titan Tire and Dico jointly and severally liable for $5.45 million in response costs previously incurred and reported by the United States relating to the alleged violation, including enforcement costs and attorney’s fees; and (c) awarding a declaratory judgment holding Titan Tire and Dico jointly and severally liable for all additional response costs previously incurred but not yet reported or to be incurred in the future, including enforcement costs and attorney’s fees. The District Court also held Dico liable for $5.45 million in punitive damages under 42 U.S.C. § 9607(c)(3) for violating a unilateral administrative order. The punitive damages award does not apply to Titan Tire. The Company accrued a contingent liability of $6.5 million, representing $5.45 million in costs incurred by the United States and $1.05 million of additional response costs, for this order in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2019, the $6.5 million contingent liability remains outstanding.
Titan Tire and Dico appealed the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 11, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s September 5, 2017, order. Thereafter, Dico and Titan Tire filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which petition remains pending. While the Company believes it has meritorious arguments, the outcome of this petition cannot be predicted. As a result of the current judgment in favor of the United States, and pursuant to Iowa Code § 624.23, a judgment lien exists over Titan Tire’s real property in the State of Iowa. The United States has agreed, however, that it will take no steps to execute on this judgment lien. In exchange, Titan Tire has obtained a supersedeas bond in the amount of $6.0 million that stays enforcement of the judgment pending the outcome of the appeal and petition.

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has aggregated its operating units into reportable segments based on its three customer markets: agricultural, earthmoving/construction, and consumer. These segments are based on the information used by the Chief Executive Officer to make certain operating decisions, allocate portions of capital expenditures, and assess segment performance. Segment external sales, expenses, and income from operations are determined based on the results of operations for the operating units of the Company's manufacturing facilities. Segment assets are generally determined on the basis of the tangible assets located at such operating units’ manufacturing facilities and the intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of such operating units. However, certain operating units’ property, plant and equipment balances are carried at the corporate level.
Titan is organized primarily on the basis of products being included in three market segments, with each reportable segment including wheels, tires, wheel/tire assemblies, and undercarriage systems and components.
The table below presents information about certain operating results, separated by market segments, for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards for fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following as of the dates set forth below (amounts in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
| Total |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company sells products and pays commissions to companies controlled by persons related to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mr. Maurice Taylor. The related party is Mr. Fred Taylor, who is Mr. Maurice Taylor’s brother. The companies with which Mr. Fred Taylor is associated that do business with Titan include the following: Blacksmith OTR, LLC; F.B.T. Enterprises, Inc.; Green Carbon, Inc.; Silverstone, Inc.; and OTR Wheel Engineering, Inc. Sales of Titan products to these companies were approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Titan had trade receivables due from these companies of approximately $0.1 million at June 30, 2019, and approximately $0.2 million at December 31, 2018. Sales commissions paid to the above companies were approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
In July 2013, the Company entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with OEP and RDIF to acquire Voltyre-Prom. Mr. Richard M. Cashin Jr., a director of the Company, is the President of OEP, which owned 21.4% of the joint venture at June 30, 2019. The Shareholders’ Agreement contained a settlement put option which potentially required the Company to purchase equity interests in the joint venture from OEP and RDIF at a value set by the agreement. On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from OEP. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made a payment to OEP in the amount of $16 million representing the majority of the interest on the amount due to OEP. On July 30, 2019, the Titan Purchaser entered into the OEP Agreement with subsidiaries of OEP, relating to the settlement put option under the Shareholders’ Agreement that was exercised by OEP. Pursuant to the terms of the OEP Agreement, on July 31, 2019, the Titan Purchaser paid to OEP $30.7 million in cash, which, together with the Titan Purchaser’s prior payment to OEP of $16 million during the second quarter of 2019, were made in full satisfaction of the settlement put option exercised by OEP under the Shareholders’ Agreement. Immediately following the closing, OEP ceased to have any ownership interests in, and the Titan Purchaser and RDIF owned 64.3% and 35.7%, respectively, of, Voltyre-Prom.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company, in partnership with OEP and RDIF, previously acquired all of the equity interests in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The Company is party to the Shareholders' Agreement which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The agreement contains a settlement put option which was exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018. The settlement put option required Titan to purchase the equity interests from OEP and RDIF in Voltyre-Prom with cash or Titan common stock, at a value set by the agreement.
On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from OEP. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made a payment to OEP in the amount of $16 million representing the majority of the interest on the amount due to OEP. On July 30, 2019, the Titan Purchaser, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the OEP Agreement with subsidiaries of OEP, relating to the settlement put option under the Shareholders' Agreement that was exercised by OEP. Pursuant to the terms of the OEP Agreement, on July 31, 2019, the Titan Purchaser paid OEP $30.7 million in cash, which together with the $16 million paid to OEP during the second quarter of 2019, fully satisfies the settlement put option exercised by OEP under the Shareholders' Agreement. Immediately following the closing, OEP ceased to have any ownership interest in, and the Titan Purchaser and RDIF owned 64.3% and 35.7%, respectively, of Voltyre-Prom.
The Company has included the results of Voltyre-Prom in the Company's condensed consolidated statements, as Voltyre-Prom was a variable interest entity for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Titan will continue to include the results of Voltyre-Prom in the Company's condensed consolidated statements with a decrease in the noncontrolling interest.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company’s top customers include global leaders in agricultural and construction equipment manufacturing and include AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., CNH Global N.V., Deere & Company, Hitachi, Ltd., Kubota Corporation, Liebherr, and Volvo, in addition to many other off-highway equipment manufacturers.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK
Agriculture-related commodity prices have recently rebounded somewhat, but remain low as a result of ongoing tariffs and trade concerns. Within North America, a delayed planting season caused by extraordinarily bad weather this spring is causing farmers to become more cautious about large equipment purchases. Most major OEMs are forecasting flat to modest growth in agricultural equipment sales (0% to 5%) during 2019 within most regions, while after-market spending has been reduced in recent months due to the uncertainty in the market caused by weather and trade. Many variables, including weather, volatility in the price of commodities, grain prices, export markets, foreign currency exchange rates, government policies, subsidies, and the demand for used equipment can greatly impact the Company's performance in the agricultural market in a given period.
EARTHMOVING/CONSTRUCTION MARKET OUTLOOK
The earthmoving/construction market had a strong start in the beginning of 2019, while the second quarter experienced some moderation due to global economic volatility. Demand for larger construction equipment used for highways and infrastructure has been steady after several years of strong growth, and mining industry equipment demand continues to steadily increase within certain regions in 2019. Construction is mainly driven by GDP by country and the need for infrastructure developments. Mining is primarily driven by both the demand and pricing of commodities. Demand for Titan's products in this market is anticipated to be steady and modestly improve throughout the remainder of 2019. Demand for small and medium-sized earthmoving/construction equipment used in the housing and commercial construction sectors is anticipated to experience flat to slight growth. The earthmoving/construction segment is affected by many variables, including commodity prices, road construction, infrastructure, government appropriations, housing starts, and other macroeconomic drivers.
CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK
The consumer market consists of several different distinct product lines within different regions. These products include light truck tires, turf equipment, specialty products, and train brakes. Overall, the Company expects flat to modest growth within this market during 2019. The consumer segment is affected by many variables including consumer spending, interest rates, government policies, and other macroeconomic drivers.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 were $390.6 million, compared to $428.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2018, a decrease of 8.9% driven by sales decreases in all segments. Overall net sales volume was down 4.3% from the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to increasingly volatile conditions in the North American agricultural segment, primarily caused by wet weather conditions which have persisted in many of the farming regions, and ongoing global trade issues. In addition, sales were negatively impacted by continued challenging market conditions in Russia and Europe. Unfavorable changes in price/mix negatively impacted net sales by 0.8%, while unfavorable currency translation further decreased net sales by 3.8%.
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $801.0 million, compared to $854.3 million in the comparable period of 2018, a decrease of 6.2% driven by sales decreases in all segments. Overall net sales volume was down 3.9% from the comparable prior year period, due primarily to the market challenges in Russia and volatility in the North American and European agricultural segments, as a result of the issues described earlier. Unfavorable currency translation further decreased net sales by 4.8%. Favorable price/mix partially offset these decreases with a 2.5% positive impact on net sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $38.3 million, or 9.8% of net sales, down $20.0 million compared to $58.3 million, or 13.6% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in gross profit was driven by the impact of lower sales volume across most geographic regions and effects of currency devaluation, especially in Europe, Latin America, and Russia. Gross profit margins in the U.S. were impacted by rapidly changing market conditions where sales volume decreased and there was limited ability in the period to trim production costs. Gross profit and margins were also impacted by performance in the North American wheel business. While sales were relatively flat versus the prior year and material costs have been declining recently, sales primarily came from elevated inventory levels from earlier in the year where production costs were higher as we prepared for the ERP transition and the expectation of increased demand in the market.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $83.6 million, or 10.4% of net sales, compared to $117.9 million, or 13.8% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a decrease of sales in all segments which resulted from lower volume and unfavorable currency impact. Additionally, North American gross profit and margins were negatively impacted by short term impacts from higher costs of inventory sold in the first quarter, the impact of higher production costs, and decreased sales volumes during the second quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $35.7 million, or 9.2% of net sales, compared to $34.0 million, or 7.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in SG&A primarily related to certain investments in information technology in North America and an increase in legal fees. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $71.7 million, or 8.9% of net sales, compared to $68.6 million, or 8.0% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to certain investments in information technology in North America and additional legal fees.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $2.5 million, or 0.7% of net sales, compared to $2.8 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2018. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $5.2 million, or 0.6% of net sales, were slightly favorable compared to $5.6 million, or 0.7% of net sales, for the comparable period in 2018. R&D spending reflects initiatives to improve product designs and an ongoing focus on quality.
Royalty Expense
The Company has trademark license agreements with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company to manufacture and sell certain farm tires under the Goodyear name. These agreements cover sales in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Russia, and other Commonwealth of Independent States countries. Each of these agreements is scheduled to expire in 2025.
Royalty expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $2.4 million, or 0.6% of net sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2018. Royalty expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were $5.1 million, or 0.6% of net sales, compared to $5.3 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Income (Loss) from Operations
Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $2.4 million, compared to income of $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $1.7 million, compared to $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in income from operations for these periods was primarily driven by lower net sales and the net result of the items previously discussed in this quarterly report.
OTHER PROFIT/LOSS ITEMS
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $8.3 million and $7.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $16.2 million and $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings under Titan's revolving credit facility and increases in borrowing rates.
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)
Foreign exchange loss was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to loss of $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. Foreign exchange gain was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to loss of $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Foreign currency gain or loss is the result of the translation of intercompany loans at certain foreign subsidiaries which are denominated in local currencies rather than the reporting currency, which is the United States dollar. Since such loans are expected to be settled in cash at some point in the future, these loans are adjusted each reporting period to reflect the current exchange rates.
Other Income
Other income was $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $2.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2018. The decrease in other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily attributable to lower equity investment income.
Other income was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $10.2 million in the comparable period of 2018. The decrease in other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the comparable period in 2018 is primarily attributable to a non-recurring legal settlement in 2018 and lower equity investment income.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax benefit of $3.2 million and income tax expense of $1.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.3 million and income tax expense of $0.9 million, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was 33% and 17% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and 19% and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company’s 2019 and 2018 income tax expense and rates differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses and a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax positions. In addition, there were non-deductible royalty expenses and statutorily required income adjustments made in certain foreign jurisdictions that negatively impacted the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) per Share
Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $6.7 million, compared to net income of $8.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2018. For the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $(0.12) and $0.06, respectively. The Company's net loss and earnings per share were due to the items previously discussed.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.7 million, compared to net income of $24.4 million in the comparable period of 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $(0.10) and $0.32, respectively. The Company's net loss and earnings per share were due to the items previously discussed.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Net sales in the agricultural segment were $164.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $186.9 million for the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of 12.1%. Lower sales volume contributed 6.5% of this decrease while unfavorable currency translation, primarily in Latin America and Europe, decreased net sales by 3.6%. Unfavorable price/mix further decreased net sales by 2.0%. Lower sales volumes were primarily caused by challenging market conditions, particularly in the United States, where wet weather conditions persisted in many of the farming regions as well as ongoing global trade issues which continue to cause uncertainty for customers.
Gross profit in the agricultural segment was $14.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $27.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2018. The North American gross profit and margins were negatively affected by the adverse weather conditions that have persisted. Additionally, the North American operations experienced short-term impacts of decreased margins caused by rapidly changing markets and limited ability to decrease production costs during the period. Europe and Russia experienced similar impacts during the quarter. Gross profit and margins were also impacted by performance in the North American wheel business. While sales were relatively flat compared to the prior year and material costs have been declining recently, sales primarily came from elevated inventory levels from earlier in the year where production costs were higher as we prepared for the ERP transition and the expectation of increased demand in the market. Unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower sales volume in most geographic areas also contributed to the decrease in gross profit. Income from operations in the agricultural segment was $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $19.0 million for the comparable period in 2018.
Net sales in the agricultural segment were $356.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $381.0 million for the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of 6.6%. Lower sales volumes contributed 4.4% of this decrease while unfavorable currency translation in all international locations further decreased net sales by 4.7%. Favorable price/mix partially offset these decreases with a 2.5% positive impact on net sales. Lower sales volumes in the first half of 2019 were primarily a result of the difficult market conditions due to global trade issues and the adverse weather conditions mentioned earlier.
Gross profit in the agricultural segment was $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $57.2 million in the comparable period of 2018. Lower sales volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation drove the overall decrease in gross profit. Income from operations in the agricultural segment was $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $40.3 million for the comparable period in 2018.
Earthmoving/Construction Segment Results
Earthmoving/construction segment results for the periods presented below were as follows:

(Amounts in thousands) | Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | % Increase/(Decrease) |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | % Increase/(Decrease)

Income from operations | 5,697 |  |  | 11,575 |  |  | (50.8 | )% |  | 11,225 |  |  | 21,528 |  |  | (47.9 | )%

The Company's earthmoving/construction segment net sales were $184.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $199.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2018, a decrease of 7.1%. The decrease in earthmoving/construction sales was driven by decreased volume which negatively impacted net sales by 3.0%. There have been selective delays in customer expectations on deliveries from the first half of the year as market demand for original equipment has shifted, which should occur during upcoming periods. Unfavorable currency translation across all non-US geographies and an unfavorable price mix decreased net sales by 4.0% and 0.1%, respectively.
Gross profit in the earthmoving/construction segment was $19.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $24.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by the lower sales volume which created certain production inefficiencies, and from unfavorable foreign currency translation. The Company's earthmoving/construction segment income from operations was $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $11.6 million for the comparable quarter of 2018.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company's earthmoving/construction segment net sales were $361.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $387.7 million in the comparable period of 2018, a decrease of 6.7%. The decrease in earthmoving/construction sales was driven by decreased volume which negatively impacted net sales by 3.5%. This decrease was primarily caused by similar shifts in customer demand for deliveries that were experienced in the second quarter. Unfavorable currency translation across all non-US geographies decreased net sales by 4.7% which was partially offset by a favorable price/mix of 1.5%.
Gross profit in the earthmoving/construction segment was $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $46.7 million in the comparable period of 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The Company's earthmoving/construction segment income from operations was $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $21.5 million for the comparable period of 2018.
Consumer Segment Results
Consumer segment results for the periods presented below were as follows:

Consumer segment net sales were $41.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $43.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2018, a decrease of approximately 3.6%. This decrease was driven by unfavorable currency translation, primarily in Latin America, of 4.2% and lower volume, which contributed an additional decrease of 1.0% to net sales. Favorable price/mix positively contributed 1.6% to net sales, partially offsetting the aforementioned variables.
Gross profit from the consumer segment was $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $6.8 million for the comparable quarter of 2018 due primarily to the mix of products sold in certain geographies. Consumer segment income from operations was $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $3.7 million for the comparable quarter of 2018.
Consumer segment net sales were $83.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $85.6 million in the comparable period of 2018, a decrease of approximately 2.5%. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable currency translation in all international locations, which contributed to a 6.1% decrease to net sales, and lower volume, which contributed an additional decrease of 3.0% to net sales. Favorable price/mix contributed 6.6% to net sales, partially offsetting the aforementioned variables.
Gross profit from the consumer segment was $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $13.9 million for the comparable period of 2018. Consumer segment income from operations was $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $7.6 million for the comparable period of 2018.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity Outlook
At June 30, 2019, the Company had $66.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019, under the Company's $125 million credit facility, there were $41 million in borrowings, a $10.3 million letter of credit, and the amount available totaled $57.3 million. Titan's availability under this credit facility may be less than $125 million as a result of outstanding letters of credit and eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances at certain domestic subsidiaries. The cash and cash equivalents balance of $66.4 million included $54.0 million held in foreign countries. The Company's current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the foreign amounts to fund U.S. operations. As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company can repatriate the cumulative undistributed foreign earnings back to the U.S. when needed with minimal additional taxes other than state income and foreign withholding tax. Titan expects to contribute approximately $1.6 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2019.
Total capital expenditures for 2019 are forecasted to be approximately $40 million. Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $20 million for the last six months of 2019 based on June 30, 2019, debt balances. The forecasted interest payments are comprised primarily of the semi-annual payment of approximately $13 million (paid in May and November) for the 6.50% senior secured notes.
The Company's redeemable noncontrolling interest in Voltyre-Prom includes a settlement put option that was exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, both shareholders have exercised their put option in accordance with the Shareholder's Agreement. See Note 9 and Note 23 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements regarding the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interest, the settlement put option and related subsequent events.
In the future, Titan may seek to grow by making acquisitions, which will depend in large part on its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for their acquisition, finance those acquisitions, and successfully integrate the acquired assets or business.
Subject to the terms of the agreements governing Titan's outstanding indebtedness, the Company may finance future acquisitions with cash on hand, cash from operations, additional indebtedness, issuing additional equity securities, divestitures, and alternative financing options.
Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $66.4 million at June 30, 2019, along with anticipated internal cash flows from operations and utilization of remaining available borrowings, are expected to provide sufficient liquidity for working capital needs, debt maturities, and capital expenditures. Potential divestitures and unencumbered assets are also a means to provide for future liquidity needs.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There were no material changes in the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates since the filing of the 2018 Form 10-K. As discussed in the 2018 Form 10-K, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Also see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company’s updated accounting policies, including with respect to revenue recognition and leases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Titan management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, Titan's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Titan in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported accurately and within the time frames specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to Titan management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur due to simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
