Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Text Block] VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company holds a variable interest in two joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. One of these joint ventures operate distribution facilities that primarily distribute mining products. Titan is the 50% owner of the distribution facility located in Canada. Titan is also a 50% owner of a manufacturer of undercarriage components and complete track systems for earthmoving machines in India. The Company’s variable interests in these joint ventures relate to sales of Titan products to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. 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 income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company also held a variable interest in three other entities for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Two 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. Titan was also a 40% owner in a Australian distribution facility, which primarily distributed mining products. Effective during the second quarter of 2021, the Company is no longer an owner of the facility located in Australia.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

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.
