1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
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 March 31, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2020 (the 2019 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 $396.2 million at March 31, 2020. The fair value of the senior secured notes at March 31, 2020, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $174.0 million.
Cash dividends
The Company declared cash dividends of $0.005 per share of common stock for each of the quarter s ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The first quarter 2020 cash dividend of $0.005 per share of common stock was paid on April 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on March 31, 2020.
New accounting standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the measurement of all expected losses based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model that reflects losses that are probable rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In addition, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 which provides clarity on certain aspects of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted
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

The Company has a $125 million revolving credit facility (credit facility) with agent BMO Harris Bank N.A. and other financial institutions party thereto. The credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and is scheduled to mature in February 2022. From time to time 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 of its domestic subsidiaries.

The Company has working capital loans at Titan Pneus do Brasil Ltda and Voltyre-Prom at various interest rates, which totaled $10.0 million and $9.8 million at March 31, 2020, respectively. Maturity dates on this debt range from less than one year to three years.
8. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
The Company, in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), owned 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 March 31, 2020. 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 until February 12, 2022, the three-year anniversary of the signing of the Agreement, and, if the stock buyback is consummated within the first 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 $16.0 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 $16.0 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.
As of March 31, 2020, the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest held by RDIF was recorded at $25 million, the value of the shares of restricted stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

9. 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.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has three frozen defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees or former employees of three U.S. subsidiaries. The Company also has pension plans covering certain employees of several foreign subsidiaries. The Company also sponsors a number of defined contribution plans in the U.S. and at foreign subsidiaries. The Company contributed approximately $0.4 million to the pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and expects to contribute approximately $1.4 million to the pension plans during the remainder of 2020.
The components of net periodic pension cost consisted of the following for the periods set forth below (amounts in thousands):

11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company holds a variable interest in two joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These 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. Titan also is party to a joint venture that is the consortium that owns Voltyre-Prom, of which Titan originally was a 43% owner. On July 31, 2019, however, Titan purchased additional shares resulting in a 64.3% ownership in the consortium and the joint venture became a majority owned entity and is no longer a variable interest entity (a VIE). See Note 8 for additional information.
The Company also held a variable interest in two other entities for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities provided specific manufacturing related services at the Company's Tennessee facility. Titan's variable interest in these entities relates to financial support to the entities through providing many of the assets used by these entities in their business. The Company owns no equity in these entities. In March 2020, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the supply agreement with these entities and the Company no longer holds a variable interest in them.
As the primary beneficiary of these 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.

13. OTHER INCOME
Other income consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

| Three months ended
| March 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019
Gain on property insurance settlement (1) | $ | 4,936 |  |  | $ | — |
Gain on Wheels India Limited share sale | 1,302 |  |  | — |

Building rental income | 316 |  |  | 255 |
Interest income | 115 |  |  | 340 |
Other (expense) | (186 | ) |  | (844 | )
| $ | 7,436 |  |  | $ | 996 |

(1) The gain on property insurance settlement relates to the receipt of insurance proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2020 for a 2017 fire that occurred at a facility of Titan Tire Reclamation Corporation (TTRC), a subsidiary of the Company, located in Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada.
14. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was (0.2)% and 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company’s first quarter 2020 and 2019 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 partially offset by 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
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 the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and 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 2020 and 2019, the Company has estimated an amount of GILTI income that is to be included in the calculation of 2020 and 2019 income tax expense. This GILTI income inclusion; however, is fully offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government passed the CARES Act, which provides tax relief to assist companies dealing with the effects of the novel strain of the coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The Company does not expect the impact of the CARES ACT to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for the deferral of Social Security payroll taxes, which will benefit the Company's operating cash flows through the end of calendar year 2020.

16. 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 March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020, 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 was denied in August 2019. 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. Titan Tire maintains a supersedeas bond in the amount of $6.0 million relating to the judgment. The United States has indicated that it does not currently intend to take steps to execute on this judgment lien in light of ongoing settlement discussions between the parties. However, there can be no assurance that the parties will settle this matter on terms acceptable to the parties.

17. 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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (amounts in thousands):

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, COVID-19 continued to have an impact on the Company. Titan's workforce and operations have been significantly impacted as a result of government mandates in certain countries to work from home to minimize the spread of the virus. In some of the countries where the Company has operations and where COVID-19 has been widespread (such as the Company’s European and Latin America locations), the Company’s operations were significantly curtailed during March 2020 and may continue to be curtailed until the widespread outbreak is contained. The Company’s operations may not return to historical levels in the near term, depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date and numerous other uncertainties. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the Company’s ability to conduct business in those geographies and has affected the Company's operational and financial performance. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the economy, which is impacting the Company's customers and the demand for Titan's products, and the extent of that impact and its duration is uncertain at this time. The duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but may materially affect the results of our operations.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company is taking steps towards the finalization of the closure of its wheel operations in Saltville, Virginia, with plans for completion by July 2020. As a part of this process, the Company expects to incur disposal costs related to the closure but an estimated amount or range of amounts has not yet been determined. The total assets at this location are approximately $5 million.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of the financial statements included in this quarterly report with a narrative from the perspective of the management of Titan International, Inc. (Titan or the Company) on Titan's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and other factors that may affect the Company's future results. The MD&A in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this quarterly report and the MD&A and audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2020 (the 2019 Form 10-K).
COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was reported in Wuhan, China. During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 is a pandemic. The emergence of COVID-19 and its global spread presents significant risks to the Company, some of which the Company is unable to fully evaluate or even foresee. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the Company’s financial results and business operations in the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2020, and economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe have continued to change since the end of the quarter. In some of the countries where the Company has operations and where COVID-19 has been widespread (such as the Company’s European and Latin America locations), the Company’s operations were significantly curtailed during March 2020 and are expected to continue to be curtailed until the widespread outbreak is contained. The Company’s operations may not return to historical levels in the near term, depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date and numerous other uncertainties.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the Company’s operations in the second quarter, and may continue to do so indefinitely thereafter. All of these factors may have far reaching impacts on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including without limitation impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, customer behaviors, and on the overall economy. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain.
Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Form 10-Q, the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic conditions generally, on the
25

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Company’s customers and, ultimately, on the Company. The nature, extent and duration of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company are highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such effects could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic might end.

Forward-looking statements included in this report speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information and assumptions contained in this report will in fact transpire. The reader should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by the Company, or on its behalf.

COVID-19 IMPACT ON OUTLOOK
As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Company curtailed and suspended operations in certain geographies in which we conduct business. As COVID-19 progressed globally, the impact was felt initially in China with the government mandated lock-down and curtailment of operations from late January through February 2020. The impact continued in Europe through travel restrictions, social distancing, mandatory stay-at-home orders and sanitization of our facilities. Due to these restrictions, we had loss of production in the last week of the first quarter which continued through the second quarter of 2020. The impact in South America occurred during the latter part of March, continuing through the early part of April due to similar stay-at-home restrictions in place as Europe. Within North America, our facilities have remained open throughout this time with social distancing and sanitization protocols followed as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and the government. Our Australian and Russian operations have experienced a lessor impact than the other geographies other than enhanced sanitization of our facilities. The future outlook for the remainder of 2020 will be predicated upon the ability to contain COVID-19 in the geographies in which we operate and relaxation of the government mandated restrictions including travel, stay-at-home orders and social distancing.
AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK
Agriculture-related commodity prices remain low as a result of ongoing tariffs and trade concerns. For the balance of 2020, market conditions across the globe are volatile and uncertain, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Major OEMs are pulling back production in the second quarter, affecting demand for our products in the near-term. In addition, many of our customers are not forecasting significantly into the future, awaiting more certainty as to stability in the market. Demand in the aftermarket has remained relatively stable through the first quarter of 2020, while the remainder of the year will depend on how quickly market conditions stabilize. Many more 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 is continuing to experience declines in 2020 due in large part to global economic uncertainty and has been hampered further by the impact of COVID-19. Demand for larger construction equipment used for highways and infrastructure began to tighten in 2019. Mining industry equipment demand also began to soften within certain regions in the second half of 2019. Construction is mainly driven by GDP by country and the need for infrastructure developments. The Company expects that the largest impact of COVID-19 on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will occur in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting the curtailment of our operations, as well as our customers’ operations, in response to government mandates and disruptions in supply. The market outlook for the second half of the year remains relatively uncertain and will depend on how quickly conditions can stabilize. Mining is primarily driven by both the demand for and pricing of commodities. Demand for Titan's products in the mining industry for 2020 is anticipated to be generally flat as compared to 2019 and is currently less affected by the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The earthmoving/construction segment is affected by many variables, including commodity prices, road construction, infrastructure, government appropriations, housing starts, and other macroeconomic drivers, in addition to the impact of COVID-19.
CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK
The consumer market consists of several distinct product lines within different regions. These products include light truck tires, turf equipment, specialty products, and train brakes. Overall, the Company expects growth within this market to be flat in 2020. The consumer segment is affected by many variables including consumer spending, interest rates, government policies, and other macroeconomic drivers.

(Loss) income from operations | (9,603 | ) |  | 4,136 |  |  | (332.2 | )%

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $341.5 million, compared to $410.4 million in the comparable period of 2019, a decrease of 16.8% driven by sales decreases in all segments. Overall net sales volume was down 12.6% from the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to challenges in the earthmoving/construction market as a result of a slow down of the global construction market, particularly in Europe. Additionally, in Europe, we experienced over $14 million in reduced sales versus the comparable period last year directly as a result of plant closures in Italy and China due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global trade issues, as well as the impact of COVID-19, were contributing factors in the sales decrease in the Agriculture market which resulted in lower volume from OEM customers, however was partially offset by increased volume in the aftermarket business. Unfavorable changes in price/mix, primarily reflecting pricing adjustments for lower raw material costs, and currency translation negatively impacted net sales by 1.1% and 3.1%, respectively,
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $27.2 million, or 8.0% of net sales, down $18.1 million compared to $45.3 million, or 11.0% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in gross profit was driven by the impact of lower sales volume across most geographic regions which had a significant impact on production efficiencies. The decrease in gross profit was also impacted by unfavorable foreign currency, especially in Europe and Latin America, and a $2.6 million asset impairment at our Titan Tire Reclamation Corporation (TTRC) in Canada. The unfavorable gross margin impact as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic mentioned above was approximately $3.8 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $32.0 million, or 9.4% of net sales, compared to $35.9 million, or 8.7% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in SG&A was driven primarily by lower sales commissions and marketing costs as well as lower professional fees related to investments in technology as we were in the midst of stabilization efforts during the first quarter of 2019 after the first phases of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software implementation within North America.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $2.4 million, or 0.7% of net sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the comparable period in 2019. R&D spending reflects initiatives to improve product designs and an ongoing focus on quality. The slight decline is related to cost reduction initiatives enacted late in the fourth quarter of 2019.
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 three months ended March 31, 2020 were $2.5 million, or 0.7% of net sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
(Loss) Income from Operations
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $9.6 million, compared to income of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in income from operations 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 $8.0 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)
Foreign exchange loss was $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a gain of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Foreign currency exchange loss is the result of the significant negative movements in foreign currency exchange rates in many of the geographies in which we conduct business experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 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 at some point in the future, these loans are adjusted each reporting period to reflect the current exchange rates. During the first quarter of 2020, we have settled a number of intercompany loans as part of a loan restructuring initiative with a resulting foreign exchange loss which is reflected in the total foreign exchange loss recognized for the first quarter of 2020.
Other Income
Other income was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $1.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2019. The increase in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily attributable to proceeds of $4.9 million related to a property insurance settlement at TTRC and a $1.3 million gain on the sale of shares of our investment in Wheels India Limited.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was (0.2)% and 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Company’s 2020 and 2019 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 partially offset by 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Net (Loss) Income and Earnings (Loss) per Share
Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $27.5 million, compared to net income of $1.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2019. For the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $(0.42) and $0.02, respectively. The Company's net loss and earnings per share were due to the items previously discussed.

Agricultural Segment Results
Agricultural segment results for the periods presented below were as follows:

(Amounts in thousands) | Three months ended
| March 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | % Increase/(Decrease)
Net sales | $ | 172,938 |  |  | $ | 191,730 |  |  | (9.8 | )%
Gross profit | 14,027 |  |  | 22,125 |  |  | (36.6 | )%
(Loss) income from operations | (4,694 | ) |  | 13,928 |  |  | (133.7 | )%

Net sales in the agricultural segment were $172.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $191.7 million for the comparable period in 2019, a decrease of 9.8%. Lower sales volume in North America, Europe and Australia contributed 1.8% of this decrease while unfavorable currency translation, primarily in Latin America and Europe, decreased net sales by 3.4%. Unfavorable price/mix further decreased net sales by 4.7%. Lower sales volumes were primarily caused by continued weakness in the commodity markets and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic which continues to cause significant uncertainty for customers in most geographies, most notably OEM customers.
Gross profit in the agricultural segment was $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $22.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the impact of lower sales volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Unfavorable North American gross profit was driven by lower OEM volume and mix, within our North American Wheel operations. Loss from operations in Titan's agricultural segment was $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to income of $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Earthmoving/Construction Segment Results

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company's earthmoving/construction segment net sales were $136.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $176.7 million in the comparable quarter of 2019, a decrease of 22.5%. The decrease in earthmoving/construction sales was driven by decreased volume, which negatively impacted net sales by 22.9%. This decrease was primarily due to a tightening within the construction market in our undercarriage business in all geographies. The direct impact of COVID-19 accounted for $11.9 million of the sales decrease due to shutdowns of our plants in China and Italy. Unfavorable currency translation across most non-US geographies decreased net sales by 2.3% but was partially offset by favorable price mix, which increased net sales by 2.7%.
Gross profit in the earthmoving/construction segment was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $18.2 million in the comparable quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by the lower sales volume, which created certain production inefficiencies, the impact of COVID-19 and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The Company's earthmoving/construction segment loss from operations was $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to income of $5.5 million for the comparable quarter of 2019.
Consumer Segment Results
Consumer segment results for the periods presented below were as follows:

(Amounts in thousands) | Three months ended
| March 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | % Increase/(Decrease)
Net sales | $ | 31,640 |  |  | $ | 41,899 |  |  | (24.5 | )%
Gross profit | 2,463 |  |  | 4,969 |  |  | (50.4 | )%
(Loss) income from operations | (295 | ) |  | 2,121 |  |  | (113.9 | )%

Consumer segment net sales were $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $41.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2019, a decrease of approximately 24.5%. This decrease was driven by lower sales volume, especially in North America, Latin America and Australia, which negatively impacted net sales by 18.2% and unfavorable currency translation, primarily in Latin America and unfavorable price mix, which decreased net sales by 5.3% and 1.0%, respectively. The decline in Latin America continued to be driven by lower demand for light utility truck tires, while declines in other geographies related to a shift in focus to agriculture and earthmoving/construction products.
Gross profit from the consumer segment was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $5.0 million for the comparable quarter of 2019 due primarily to lower sales in the light utility truck markets. Consumer segment loss from operations was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to income of $2.1 million for the comparable quarter of 2019.
Corporate & Unallocated Expenses
Income from operations on a segment basis did not include unallocated income of $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and unallocated expenses of $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The year over year difference is related to a refinement of the allocation process which enabled the Company to identify previously unallocated expenses that belonged in the other segments.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity Outlook
At March 31, 2020, the Company had $60.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2020, under the Company's $125 million credit facility, there were $30 million in borrowings, an $11.5 million letter of credit, and the amount available totaled $62.3 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 $60.4 million included $55.4 million held in foreign countries.
Total capital expenditures for 2020 are not forecasted at this point as we have taken measures to limit our capital spending for the remainder of this year, while they are expected to be significantly lower than originally forecasted at $35 million. Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $15 million for the second quarter of 2020 based on March 31, 2020, 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.
Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $60.4 million at March 31, 2020, 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.
Titan is currently taking actions to obtain additional financial flexibility and credit capabilities from our banking partners and other sources throughout our global operations. Additionally, we are focused on reducing discretionary spending and improving profitability through various measures, which include working capital improvements and monetization of non-core assets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and continuing into the second quarter of 2020, we are experiencing business disruption due to the impact of COVID-19; however, we do not anticipate that this impact will cause the Company to violate any financial covenants with respect to its debt agreements. In addition, as a result of the measures that are currently being undertaken by management, the Company does not expect liquidity constraints during the foreseeable future.

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 March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, 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 first quarter of fiscal 2020 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject, from time to time, to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of its business, which cover a wide range of matters, including environmental issues, product liability, contracts, and labor and employment matters. See Note 16. Litigation in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except for the additional risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors to the 2019 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and will likely continue to adversely affect, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
COVID-19 has spread to the majority of the countries in which we operate. This has significantly impacted our workforce and our operations, including as a result of government mandates in certain countries to work from home to minimize the spread of the virus. In some of the countries where we have operations and where COVID-19 has been widespread (such as our European and Latin America locations), our operations were significantly curtailed during March 2020 and may continue to be curtailed until the widespread outbreak is contained. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our ability to conduct business in those geographies and has affected the Company's operational and financial performance. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable disruption in the demand for our products in our end-markets.
If the pandemic continues and conditions worsen, we may experience additional adverse impacts on our operational and commercial activities, costs, customer orders, and collections of accounts receivable, which may be material, and the extent and nature of these adverse impacts on our future operational and commercial activities, costs, customer orders and our collections remains uncertain even if conditions begin to improve. Furthermore, the pandemic has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration, ultimate impact and the timing of recovery. Therefore, the pandemic could lead to an extended disruption of economic activity and could materially impact our business, our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/or market capitalization, and result in asset impairment charges, including long-lived assets.
To the extent COVID-19 or any worsening of the global business and economic environment as a result thereof adversely affects our business, operating results and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2019 Form 10-K.
