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, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company's 2012 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 2012 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 7.875% senior secured notes due 2017 (senior secured notes) and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 (convertible notes) are carried at cost of $544.1 million and $60.2 million at June 30, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the senior secured notes at June 30, 2013, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $579.5 million.

Cash dividends

The Company declared cash dividends of $.005 and $.010 per share of common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012. The second quarter 2013 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid July 15, 2013, to stockholders of record on June 28, 2013.

Interest paid

Titan paid $0.8 million and $0.3 million for interest for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $16.4 million and $11.9 million for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income taxes paid

Titan paid $27.2 million and $37.0 million for income taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $37.2 million and $46.9 million for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Titan Europe Plc.

On October 31, 2012, Titan acquired over 97% of the outstanding stock of Titan Europe Plc (Titan Europe) and in December 2012, the remaining 3% interest was acquired. Titan Europe is an international engineering group which designs and manufactures wheels, undercarriage components and assemblies for tracked and wheeled "off-road vehicles". The Titan Europe acquisition allowed the Company to expand its global presence and expand its product line. Prior to the acquisition, Titan held a 21.8% ownership percentage in Titan Europe. Titan Europe shareholders received one share of new Titan common stock for every 11 Titan Europe shares held. A total of 6,257,051 new shares of Titan were issued with a value of $121.8 million. In addition, Titan paid cash of $5.6 million for option payouts and partial shares. Titan's previous investment in Titan Europe had a fair value on the acquisition date of $31.7 million based on Titan Europe's stock price on the AIM market in London. Total consideration including the value of stock issued, cash payments, and the fair value of previously held Titan Europe shares totaled $159.1 million. A gain of $26.7 million was recorded on Titan's previously held interest in Titan Europe which was recorded as Noncash Titan Europe Plc gain in the consolidated statement of operations. This gain was previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Real and personal property was valued at fair value. The Company continues to evaluate the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily the value of certain deferred taxes and property, plant & equipment, and may revise the purchase price allocation in future periods as these estimates are finalized.

The purchase price allocation of the Titan Europe acquisition consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):



Cash	$	39,122
Accounts receivable	128,585
Inventories	178,407
Deferred income taxes - current asset	22,068
Prepaid & other current assets	21,745
Earthquake insurance receivable	17,024
Property, plant & equipment	217,309
Investment in Wheels India Limited	36,804
Other assets	8,414
Short term debt	(96,822		)
Accounts payable	(142,752		)
Other current liabilities	(56,391		)
Long term debt	(158,183		)
Deferred income taxes - noncurrent liability	(12,636		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(31,874		)
Net assets acquired	$	170,820

The purchase price allocation has changed from that reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Titan Europe's wheel manufacturing facility in Finale Emilia, Italy experienced damage from an earthquake in May 2012, prior to Titan's acquisition of Titan Europe. The plant was closed for production during initial remedial work. This resulted in a limited transfer of production to other facilities within Titan Europe as well as sourcing product from facilities in the US owned by Titan and competitors. In the second quarter of 2013, Titan received a final insurance settlement payment of $38.7 million. As a result of this information, Titan has recorded an earthquake insurance receivable of $17.0 million, decreased the current deferred income taxes by $5.3 million, and recorded bargain purchase gain of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Prior to the April 2013 payoff of its Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A. (BoA Term Loan), the Company used financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in the interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate in Brazil. The Company used these derivative instruments to hedge exposure in the ordinary course of business and did not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. In order to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risk on the BoA Term Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement and cross currency swap transactions with Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Multiplo S.A. that was designed to convert the outstanding $5.0 million US Dollar based LIBOR loan to a Brazilian Real based CDI loan. The Company did not designate these agreements as a hedging instrument. Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap were recorded in other income (expense) and changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement were recorded as interest expense (or gain as an offset to interest expense). For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $(0.5) million of other expense and $0.0 million of interest expense related to these derivatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $(0.6) million of other expense and $0.1 million of interest expense related to these derivatives.

The Company also used derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates in Europe. These derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value. The Company has not designated these financial instruments as hedging instruments. Any gain or loss on the re-measurement of the fair value is taken to interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.0 million related to these derivatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an offset to interest expense of $1.1 million related to these derivatives.

Titan Europe's wheel manufacturing facility in Finale Emilia, Italy experienced damage from an earthquake in May 2012, prior to Titan's acquisition of Titan Europe. The plant was closed for production during initial remedial work. This resulted in a limited transfer of production to other facilities within Titan Europe as well as sourcing product from facilities in the US owned by Titan and competitors. In the second quarter of 2013, Titan received a final insurance settlement payment of $38.7 million, which offset the earthquake insurance receivable and resulted in a gain of $22.5 million.

16. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $21.0 million and $33.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $31.0 million and $51.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company's effective income tax rate was 44% and 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company's 2013 income tax expense and rate differs 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 the Italian law changing the insurance proceeds from the earthquake to non-taxable. In addition, as a result of the reassessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the valuation allowance was established on the Italy net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance was needed due to the decrease in expectations related to taxable income related to the insurance proceeds becoming non-taxable as a result of the tax law change. Other items contributing to the rate difference are state tax expense, expense for unrecognized tax benefits, foreign earnings, domestic production activities deduction, and tax deductible expenses related to the convertible bond repurchase.

Accounting standards for income taxes provide that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits were $17.9 million and $14.3 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, $14.2 million would affect income tax expense if recognized. The majority of the increase in unrecognized tax benefits relates to potential state tax exposures. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $3.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

18. LITIGATION

The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes at this time that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, 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 its liabilities pertaining to legal judgments.

20. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards for fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

Quarter: The Company recorded sales of $593.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, which were approximately 29% higher than the second quarter 2012 sales of $459.2 million. The higher sales levels were primarily the result of recent acquisitions including the August 2012 acquisition of the Planet Group of companies based in Perth, Australia, and the October 2012 acquisition of Titan Europe, as well as increased demand in the Company's agricultural segment.

The Company's gross profit was $86.7 million, or 14.6% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $82.1 million, or 17.9%, of net sales, in 2012. Income from operations was $36.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $81.0 million in 2012. Net income was $22.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $44.3 million in 2012. Basic income per share was $.43 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $1.05 in 2012. 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.

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, 2013, approximately 14% 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.

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 2013, the Company contributed cash funds of $3.2 million to its pension plans. Titan expects to contribute approximately $3.6 million to these pension plans during the remainder of 2013. For more information concerning these costs and obligations, see the discussion of the “Pensions” and Note 25 to the Company's financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Product Warranties

The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship on 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 experience may differ from historical experience. The Company's warranty accrual was $34.5 million at June 30, 2013, and $27.5 million at December 31, 2012. The Company's warranty accrual increased primarily as a result of increased provisions related to earthmoving tires.

Titan Europe's wheel manufacturing facility in Finale Emilia, Italy experienced damage from an earthquake in May of 2012 prior to Titan's acquisition of Titan Europe. The plant was closed for production during initial remedial work. This resulted in a limited transfer of production to other facilities within Titan Europe as well as sourcing product from facilities in the US owned by Titan and competitors. In the second quarter of 2013, Titan received a final insurance settlement payment of $38.7 million, which offset the earthquake insurance receivable and resulted in a gain of $22.5 million.

Year-to-date: The Company's earthmoving/construction market net sales were $417.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $215.1 million in 2012, an increase of 94%. Sales increased approximately 109% from the inclusion of recently acquired entities, primarily Titan Europe which recorded earthmoving/construction sales of $204.5 million. Sales increased approximately 13% as the result of price/mix improvements from stronger demand for larger products used in the mining industry. The increase in net sales was partially offset by decreased volume of 28%.

MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company's risks related to foreign currencies, commodity prices and interest rates are consistent with those for 2012. For more information, see the “Market Risk Sensitive Instruments” discussion in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

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 25 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2012 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 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities	$	86,610		$	48,683		$	37,927

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.

In the first six months of 2012, operating activities provided cash of $48.7 million, which included net income of $79.7 million and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $37.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively. Net income included $23.6 million of noncash charges for depreciation and amortization. Positive cash inflows were offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $51.7 million and $26.3 million, respectively, and noncash supply agreement income of $26.1 million.

Operating cash flows increased $37.9 million when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2013, to the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net income in the first six months of 2013 was $37.5 million lower than the net income in the first six months of 2012. Partially contributing to this was increased depreciation and amortization of $16.5 million and a convertible debt conversion charge of $7.3 million. When comparing the first six months of 2013 to the first six months of 2012, cash flows from other liabilities decreased $13.9 million, which was partially offset by increased cash flows from inventories of $11.7 million.

The Company's inventory and accounts receivable balances were higher at June 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012. Days sales in inventory decreased to 75 days at June 30, 2013, compared to 86 days at December 31, 2012.

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	196,134		$	(9,194	)	$	205,328

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.

In the first six months of 2012, $9.2 million of cash was used for financing activities. This cash was primarily used for the payment on term loan borrowings of $14.2 million that was originally borrowed to provide working capital for Titan's Latin American operations. This was partially offset by $4.4 million of additional term loan borrowings for Titan's Latin American operations.

Financing cash flows increased by $205.3 million when comparing the first six months of 2013 to 2012. This increase was primarily the result of the additional issuance of 7.875% senior secured notes due 2017.

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.

Liquidity Outlook

At June 30, 2013, the Company had $424.4 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 $424.4 million includes $98.0 million held in foreign countries. The Company's current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the foreign amounts to fund U.S. operations, with the exception of intercompany loans to foreign subsidiaries totaling $146.8 million at June 30, 2013. 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 2013 are forecasted to be approximately $36 million to $40 million. Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $26 million for the remainder of 2013 based on June 30, 2013 debt balances. The forecasted interest payments are comprised primarily of a semi-annual payment of $20.7 million for the 7.875% 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 2013, Titan experienced higher sales when compared to the sales levels in the first half of 2012. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased demand in the Company's agricultural segment, as well as recent acquisitions including the August 2012 acquisition of the Planet Group of companies based in Perth, Australia, and the October 2012 acquisition of Titan Europe. For the remainder of 2013, the Company expects demand to remain weak in the earthmoving/construction market.

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.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK

Agricultural market sales were higher in the first half of 2013 when compared to the first half of 2012. The Titan Europe acquisition and continued strong demand contributed to the higher sales levels. The increase in the global population may help grow future demand. The gradual increase in the use of biofuels may help sustain future production. 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 and mining sales were significantly higher in the first half of 2013 when compared to the first half of 2012. Recent acquisitions contributed to the higher sales levels. 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. For the remainder of 2013, the Company expects earthmoving/construction market demand to remain weak.

CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK

Consumer market sales were slightly lower in the first half of 2013, when compared to the first half of 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of unfavorable currency translation on consumer product sales in Latin America, partially offset by the inclusion of recently acquired entities. Consumer market sales may fluctuate from period to period.
