1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of Titan International, Inc. (Titan or the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature and necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules for Form 10-Q's and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Sales

Sales and revenues are presented net of sales taxes and other related taxes.

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 6.875% senior secured notes due 2020 (senior secured notes due 2020) and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 (convertible notes) are carried at cost of $400.0 million and $60.2 million at June 30, 2014, respectively. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2020 at June 30, 2014, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $408.0 million.

Cash dividends

The Company declared cash dividends of $.005 and $0.010 per share of common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013. The second quarter 2014 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid July 15, 2014, to stockholders of record on June 30, 2014.

Use of estimates

The policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and require 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Reclassification

Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

2. MINING ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITEDOWN

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment and inventory writedown of $23.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The impairment was recorded on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. Mining products are included in the Company's earthmoving/construction segment. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, the company tested mining related assets for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The fair value of the mining equipment was determined using a cost and market approach. The inventory writedown was to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Voltyre-Prom

On October 4, 2013, Titan in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) closed the acquisition of an 85% interest in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia, for approximately $94.1 million, which includes the assumption of debt. Titan is acting as operating partner with responsibility for Voltyre-Prom's daily operations on behalf of the consortium of which Titan holds a 30% interest. This acquisition expanded Titan's footprint into the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region. The fair value of the consideration transferred and noncontrolling interests exceeded the fair value of the identified assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Therefore, goodwill of $21.0 million was recorded on the transaction, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. An initial noncontrolling interest of $14.5 million, representing the 15% not owned by the partnership, was recorded at the acquisition date. In the first half of 2014, the partnership of Titan, OEP, and RDIF purchased an additional 15% to bring the total Voltyre-Prom ownership to 100%. The Company continues to evaluate the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily the value of certain deferred taxes and goodwill, and may revise the purchase price allocation in future periods as these estimates are finalized.

The purchase price allocation of the Voltyre-Prom acquisition consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

	Acquisition			Additional
	Date			Purchases		Total
Cash	$	80		$	—	$	80
Accounts receivable	5,596			—		5,596

	2014									2013
			Earthmoving/										Earthmoving/
	Agricultural		Construction		Consumer					Agricultural			Construction			Consumer
	Segment		Segment		Segment			Total		Segment			Segment			Segment		Total
Goodwill, January 1	$	24,540	$	14,898	$	2,637		$	42,075	$	11,522		$	13,419		$	—	$	24,941

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each annual reporting period, and whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, related to the earthmoving/construction segment, the Company reviewed $12.2 million of Australia goodwill for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The recoverability of the goodwill was evaluated by estimating future discounted cash flows. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considered current and projected future levels of income as well as business trends and economic conditions. Impairment was not identified. However, the calculated excess value was less than 10% and there may be potential risk of future impairment if cash flows or other estimates would change.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries are leading manufacturers of wheels, tires, wheel and tire assemblies, and undercarriage systems and components for off-highway vehicles used in the agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer segments.  Titan manufactures both wheels and tires for the majority of these market applications, allowing the Company to provide the value-added service of delivering complete wheel and tire assemblies.  The Company offers a broad range of products that are manufactured in relatively short production runs to meet the specifications of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and/or the requirements of aftermarket customers.

The table provides highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to 2013 (amounts in thousands):

	2014			2013		% Decrease
Net sales	$	523,731		$	593,291	(12	)%
Gross profit	22,560			86,655		(74	)%
Income (loss) from operations	(29,467		)	36,906		(180	)%
Net income (loss)	(24,891		)	22,856		(209	)%

Quarter: The Company recorded sales of $523.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, which were 12% lower than the second quarter 2013 sales of $593.3 million. The lower sales levels were primarily the result of decreased demand in the mining industry and reduced demand for larger products used in the agricultural market.

The Company's gross profit was $22.6 million, or 4.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $86.7 million, or 14.6% of net sales, in 2013. Loss from operations was $29.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to income from operations of $36.9 million in 2013. Net loss was $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $22.9 million in 2013. Basic loss per share was $(.38) in the second quarter of 2014, compared to earnings per share of $.43 in 2013. Gross profit and income from operations decreased primarily as a result of a significant decrease in demand for our products used in the mining industry. Generally, there are higher margins associated with the larger, more complex mining tires. As a consequence, this drove additional erosion in gross profit due to price reductions and reduced leverage/productivity on lower sales. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $23.2 million on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. In addition, the Company recorded an inventory writedown of $11.6 million to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value. Decreased demand for larger products used in the agricultural market also had a negative impact on gross profit and income from operations. Net income and earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were positively affected by the gain on earthquake insurance recovery of $22.5 million.

Year-to-date: The Company recorded sales of $1,062.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which were 9% lower than the six months ended June 30, 2013 sales of $1,171.7 million. The lower sales levels were primarily the result of decreased demand in the mining industry and reduced demand for larger products used in the agricultural market.

The Company's gross profit was $77.1 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $183.4 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in 2013.

Net loss was $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $42.2 million in 2013. Basic loss per share was $(.34) in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to income per share of $.81 in 2013. Gross profit and income from operations decreased primarily as a result of a significant decrease in demand for our products used in the mining industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate technical accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. The Company's application of these policies involves assumptions that require difficult subjective judgments regarding many factors, which, in and of themselves, could materially impact the financial statements and disclosures. A future change in the estimates, assumptions or judgments applied in determining the following matters, among others, could have a material impact on future financial statements and disclosures.

Asset and Business Acquisitions

The allocation of purchase price for asset and business acquisitions requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired assets and business and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets in determining the estimated fair value for purchase price allocations. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in determining the purchase price allocations, impairment losses could occur. To aid in establishing the value of any intangible assets at the time of acquisition, the Company typically engages a professional appraisal firm.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. At June 30, 2014, approximately 11% of the Company's inventories were valued under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The majority of steel material inventory and related work-in-process and finished goods are accounted for under the LIFO method. The remaining inventories were valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Market value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Impairment of Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill to assess recoverability from future operations during the fourth quarter of each annual reporting period, and whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, related to the earthmoving/construction segment, the Company reviewed $12.2 million of Australia goodwill for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The recoverability of the goodwill was evaluated by estimating future discounted cash flows. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considered current and projected future levels of income as well as business trends and economic conditions. Impairment was not identified. However, the calculated excess value was less than 10% and there may be potential risk of future impairment if cash flows or other estimates would change.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset positions and recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting standards for income taxes.

Retirement Benefit Obligations

Pension benefit obligations are based on various assumptions used by third-party actuaries in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. Revisions in assumptions and actual results that differ from the assumptions affect future expenses, cash funding requirements and obligations. The Company has three frozen defined benefit pension plans in the United States and pension plans in several foreign countries. During the first six months of 2014, the Company contributed cash funds of $2.3 million to its pension plans. Titan expects to contribute approximately $3.6 million to these pension plans during the remainder of 2014. For more information concerning these costs and obligations, see the discussion of the “Pensions” and Note 27 to the Company's financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Product Warranties

The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship of its products in all market segments. The majority of the Company's products have a limited warranty that ranges from zero to ten years, with certain products being prorated after the first year. The Company calculates a provision for warranty expense based on past warranty experience. Actual warranty expense may differ from historical experience. The Company's warranty accrual was $32.6 million at June 30, 2014, and $33.1 million at December 31, 2013.

Net Sales

Quarter: Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, were $523.7 million compared to $593.3 million in 2013, a decrease of 12%. Sales decreased 14% as the result of price/mix reductions driven from decreased demand for our products used in the mining industry and larger agricultural products. In addition, overall volume decreased 2%. The decrease in net sales was offset by the inclusion of the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business which recorded $25.0 million in sales, and increased sales 4%.

Year-to-date: Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were $1,062.7 million compared to $1,171.7 million in 2013, a decrease of 9%.

In addition, the Company recorded an inventory writedown of $11.6 million to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value. Decreased demand for larger products used in the agricultural market also had a negative impact on gross profit.

Year-to-date: Cost of sales was $950.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $988.3 million in 2013. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $77.1 million or 7.3% of net sales, compared to $183.4 million, or 15.7% of net sales in 2013.

Quarter: Net sales in the agricultural market were $285.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $323.9 million in 2013, a decrease of 12%. Sales volume decreased 13% primarily from reduced demand for larger agricultural products; also contributing to a 4% sales reduction associated with the price/mix impact. The decrease in net sales was offset by the inclusion of the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business that increased sales 5%.

Gross profit in the agricultural market was $42.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $56.2 million in 2013.  Income from operations in the agricultural market was $28.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $45.7 million in 2013.  The Company's gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, and income from operations decreased as a result of the initial lower margin at the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business. Lower demand for larger products used in the agricultural market also had a negative impact on gross profit.

Year-to-date: Net sales in the agricultural market were $602.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $634.5 million in 2013, a decrease of 5%. Sales volume decreased 7% from reduced demand for larger agricultural products; also contributing to a 3% sales reduction associated with the price/mix impact. Unfavorable currency translation decreased sales by 1%. The decrease in net sales was offset by the inclusion of the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business that increased sales 6%.

Gross profit in the agricultural market was $89.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $110.2 million in 2013.  Income from operations in the agricultural market was $58.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $87.3 million in 2013.  The Company's gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, and income from operations decreased as a result of the initial lower margin at the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business. Lower demand for larger products used in the agricultural market also had a negative impact on gross profit.

Income (loss) from operations	(38,235		)	8,519		(49,329		)	29,198

Quarter: The Company's earthmoving/construction market net sales were $164.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $208.2 million in 2013, a decrease of 21%. Sales decreased 32% as the result of price/mix reductions which resulted primarily from reduced demand for our products used in the mining industry. The decrease in net sales was offset by increases in: volume of 7% primarily from increases in construction products; inclusion of recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business of 2%; and favorable currency translation of 2%.

Gross profit in the earthmoving/construction market was $(23.3) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to$26.8 million in 2013. The Company's earthmoving/construction market loss from operations was $(38.2) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to income from operations of $8.5 million in 2013. Gross profit and income from operations decreased primarily as a result of a significant decrease in demand for our products used in the mining industry. Generally, there are higher margins associated with the larger, more complex mining tires. As a consequence, this drove additional erosion in gross profit due to price reductions and reduced leverage/productivity on lower sales. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $23.2 million on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. In addition, the Company recorded an inventory writedown of $11.6 million to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value.

Year-to-date: The Company's earthmoving/construction market net sales were $316.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $417.8 million in 2013, a decrease of 24%. Sales decreased 31% as the result of price/mix reductions which resulted largely from reduced demand for larger products used in the mining industry. The decrease in net sales was offset by increases in: volume of 4% primarily from increases in construction products; inclusion of recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business of 2%; and favorable currency translation of 1%.

Gross profit in the earthmoving/construction market was $(19.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $64.3 million in 2013. The Company's earthmoving/construction market loss from operations was $(49.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to income from operations of $29.2 million in 2013.

MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company's risks related to foreign currencies, commodity prices and interest rates are consistent with those for 2013. For more information, see the “Market Risk Sensitive Instruments” discussion in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

PENSIONS

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. These plans are described in Note 27 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company's recorded liability for pensions is based on a number of assumptions, including discount rates, rates of return on investments, mortality rates and other factors. Certain of these assumptions are determined by the Company with the assistance of outside actuaries. Assumptions are based on past experience and anticipated future trends. These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and revised when appropriate. Revisions in assumptions and actual results that differ from the assumptions affect future expenses, cash funding requirements and the carrying value of the related obligations. Titan expects to contribute approximately $3.6 million to these pension plans during the remainder of 2014.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the first six months of 2014, operating activities provided cash of $43.1 million, including an increase in accounts payable of $15.0 million and a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $36.1 million, which included a $36.0 million income tax refund received in the first quarter of 2014. Positive cash inflows were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $29.0 million. Included in net loss of $30.0 million were noncash charges for depreciation and amortization of $46.8 million, mining asset impairment charge of $23.2 million, and mining inventory writedown of $11.6 million.

In the first six months of 2013, operating activities provided cash of $86.6 million, which included net income of $42.2 million and an increase in accounts payable of $42.0 million. Net income included $40.0 million of noncash charges for depreciation and amortization. Insurance proceeds less gain on earthquake insurance recovery provided cash of $13.4 million. Positive cash inflows were offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $48.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

Operating cash flows decreased $43.6 million when comparing the first six months of 2014, to the first six months of 2013. The net loss in the first six months of 2014 was a $72.3 million decrease from the income in first six months of 2013. When comparing the first six months of 2014 to the first six months of 2013, cash flows from prepaid and other current assets increased $51.7 million, which was partially offset by decreased cash flows from accounts payable of $27.0 million.

The Company's inventory and accounts receivable balances were higher at June 30, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013. Days sales in inventory increased to 75 days at June 30, 2014, compared to 74 days at December 31, 2013. Days sales outstanding increased to 52 days at June 30, 2014, from 48 days at December 31, 2013.

Financing Cash Flows

Summary of cash flows from financing activities:

(Amounts in thousands)	Six months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			Change
Proceeds from borrowings	$	—		$	345,313		$	(345,313	)

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	(47,649	)	$	196,134		$	(243,783	)

In the first six months of 2014, $47.6 million of cash was used for financing activities. This cash was primarily used for payment of debt of $53.4 million, partially offset by term loan borrowings of $6.2 million.

In the first six months of 2013, $196.1 million of cash was provided by financing activities. This cash was primarily provided by proceeds from the issuance of $345.3 million of additional 7.875% senior secured notes due 2017. This was partially offset by payment on debt of $155.1 million, primarily at the Company's European facilities.

Financing cash flows decreased by $243.8 million when comparing the first six months of 2014 to 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the additional issuance of 7.875% senior secured notes due 2017 in 2013.

Other Issues

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations in sales that affect inventory levels and accounts receivable balances.  Historically, Titan tends to have higher production levels in the first and second quarters. 

Debt Restrictions

The Company’s revolving credit facility (credit facility) contains various restrictions, including:

• Limits on dividends and repurchases of the Company’s stock.

• Restrictions on the ability of the Company to make additional borrowings, or to consolidate, merge or otherwise fundamentally change the ownership of the Company.

• Limitations on investments, dispositions of assets and guarantees of indebtedness.

• Other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

These restrictions could limit the Company’s ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments, to raise additional debt or equity capital, to pay dividends or to take advantage of business opportunities, including future acquisitions.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity Outlook

At June 30, 2014, the Company had $163.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on the Company's $150 million credit facility. The cash and cash equivalents balance of $163.0 million includes $70.6 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. However, if foreign funds were needed for U.S. operations, the Company would be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 are forecasted to be approximately $36 million to $40 million.  Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $16 million for the remainder of 2014 based on June 30, 2014 debt balances. The forecasted interest payments are comprised primarily of a semi-annual payment of $13.8 million for the 6.875% senior secured notes due on October 1.

In the future, Titan may seek to grow by making acquisitions which will depend on the ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to negotiate acceptable terms for their acquisition and to finance those acquisitions.

Subject to the terms of indebtedness, the Company may finance future acquisitions with cash on hand, cash from operations, additional indebtedness and/or by issuing additional equity securities.

Cash on hand, anticipated internal cash flows from operations and utilization of remaining available borrowings are expected to provide sufficient liquidity for working capital needs, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

In the first half of 2014, Titan experienced lower sales when compared to the sales levels in the first half of 2013.  The lower sales were primarily the result of decreased demand in the earthmoving/construction segment primarily for products used in the mining industry. The weakness in mining is expected to continue for the remainder of 2014. Decreased demand for larger products used in the agricultural market also contributed to the lower sales levels.

Energy, raw material and petroleum-based product costs have been volatile and may negatively impact the Company’s margins.  Many of Titan’s overhead expenses are fixed; therefore, lower seasonal trends may cause negative fluctuations in quarterly profit margins and affect the financial condition of the Company.

AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK

Agricultural market sales were lower in the first half of 2014 when compared to the first half of 2013 due to decreased demand for larger products used in the agricultural market, partially offset by sales at the recently acquired Voltyre-Prom business.  Farm net income is expected to be less in 2014 due to lower grain prices and rising input cost for seed, chemicals and fuel. Lower income levels are putting pressure on the demand for large farm equipment. In addition, large equipment sales have deteriorated significantly after a robust cycle in recent years. The mix shift to lower horsepower tractors has a negative impact on revenue and margin performance. Many variables, including weather, grain prices, export markets and future government policies and payments can greatly influence the overall health of the agricultural economy.

EARTHMOVING/CONSTRUCTION MARKET OUTLOOK

Earthmoving/construction market sales were significantly lower in the first half of 2014 when compared to the first half of 2013 due to weak demand in the mining industry. This reduced demand is expected to continue for the remainder of 2014 as the mining industry continues in a downturn. Demand for small construction equipment used in the housing and commercial construction sectors is showing signs of recovery. Although metals, oil and gas prices may fluctuate in the short-term, in the long-term, these prices are expected to remain at levels that are attractive for continued investment, which should help support future earthmoving and mining sales.  The earthmoving/construction segment is affected by many variables, including commodity prices, road construction, infrastructure, government appropriations, housing starts and the on-going banking and credit issues.

CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK

Consumer market sales were higher in the first half of 2014, when compared to the first half of 2013. Sales in the consumer market increased primarily as the result of increased consumer sales at overseas facilities.
