Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 10, 2014, Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. The Company will be conducting a conference call to discuss its full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 financial results at 7:30 a.m. Central time on April 10, 2014. The full text of the press release is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K as if fully set forth herein.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On April 9, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a realignment of the Company's Construction business in certain markets. The realignment was implemented effective as of the close of business on April 9, 2014. The realignment includes a reduction of the Company's Construction-related headcount by approximately 11.7%, primarily through the closing of seven underperforming Construction stores, staff reductions at other dealerships and reductions in support staff at the Shared Resource Center. The closed stores were located in Bozeman, Big Sky and Helena, Montana; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Clear Lake, Iowa; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Rosemount, Minnesota. The Company also closed an Agriculture store in Oskaloosa, Iowa and merged it with the nearby Agriculture store in Pella, Iowa. The Company's remaining stores in each of the respective areas will take over the distribution rights for the CNH brand previously held by the stores that have closed. The Company will transfer the majority of the assets of the closed stores to other stores. The Company estimates the expense to be recognized in connection with these activities will total approximately $4.2 million, comprised of an accrual for the net present value of remaining lease obligations (net of estimated sublease income) of $1.8 million, employee severance costs of $0.8 million, costs of $1.2 million related to relocation of assets from the closed stores, and impairment of certain immovable fixed assets of $0.4 million. The Company expects these expenses to be recognized in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The Company expects that the cash outlays for the recognized expenses will largely occur in the three months ended April 30, 2014, with the exception of the cash expenditures for the lease obligations which will be paid in future periods.
