BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The quarterly operating results for Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) are subject to fluctuation due to varying weather patterns, which may impact the timing and amount of equipment purchases, rentals, and after-sales parts and service purchases by the Company’s Agriculture, Construction and International customers. Therefore, operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2017 was derived from the audited financial statements for the Company for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC.
Nature of Business
The Company is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through its stores in the United States and Europe. The Company’s North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
In June 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding ownership interest held by the non-controlling interest holder of the Company's Bulgarian subsidiary. Subsequent to this acquisition, all of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)
The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic EPS was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period.
Diluted EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of net income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted EPS. All anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the denominator for basic and diluted EPS:

Recent Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance adopted
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") amended authoritative guidance on accounting for the measurement of inventory, codified in ASC 330, Inventory. The amended guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on February 1, 2017. Under the former guidance for measuring inventory, the Company recognized lower of-cost-or-market adjustments using a definition of market value as net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin. Upon implementation of the new authoritative guidance, market is defined solely as net realizable value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on stock-based compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amended guidance changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on February 1, 2017. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to share-based compensation that were previously recorded to equity are now recognized as a discrete tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations. The impact on income tax expense (benefit) was not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Excess tax benefits are no longer reclassified out of cash flows from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. We elected to apply this cash flow presentation requirement prospectively. The amount of excess tax benefits recognized for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 were not material. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes are required to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This method of presentation is consistent with the Company's historical presentation. Also under the new standard, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based instruments as they occur, as compared to the previous guidance under which the Company estimated the number of forfeitures. The Company applied the accounting change on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 1, 2017. The following table summarizes the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

Accounting guidance not yet adopted
In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance has been amended on various occasions and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2018.
We are in the process of assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Our implementation efforts to date consist of an identification and assessment of our primary revenue streams and performing contract analyses over a sample of contracts within each of our revenue streams. Based on our assessment to date, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies for our equipment and parts revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the potential impact adoption of this standard will have, if any, on our service revenue transactions. The guidance does not apply to the recognition of our rental revenues as the accounting for such revenues is governed by other authoritative guidance. We are still evaluating whether to use a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this standard. In addition, we are continuing to evaluate the changes necessary to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.
In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842, Leases. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. We anticipate adopting the new standard on February 1, 2019, and expect to elect the package of practical expedients afforded under the guidance, including the use of hindsight to determine the lease term. While we continue to evaluate this standard, we anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets due to the capitalization of a right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with our current operating leases, but do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on modifications related to Stock Compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2019. The Company does not believe the update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
