ITEM 2.                        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Overview

We own and operate a network of full-service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States, Australia, and Europe. Based upon information provided to us by CNH, we are the largest retail dealer of CaseIH Agriculture equipment in the world, one of the largest retail dealers of Case Construction equipment in North America and one of the largest retail dealers of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the United States. We operate our business through four reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction, Europe and Australia. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, service, and equipment rental and other activities.

Demand for agricultural equipment and, to a lesser extent, parts and service support, is impacted by agricultural commodity prices and net farm income. Based on the February 2026 U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") publications, the most recent estimate of farm cash receipts for calendar year 2025 is estimated to increase 3.0% compared with calendar year 2024. The USDA projects farm cash receipts for calendar year 2026 to decrease 2.7%, as compared to the estimated results for calendar year 2025.

The U.S. federal government has imposed significant tariffs on imports from a broad range of countries. In response, some countries have enacted or are expected to enact retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports. Although the overall impact of these trade measures remains uncertain, we recognize the possibility of increases in the wholesale prices that we pay for our equipment and parts inventory. Higher wholesale prices could compress our margins if we are unable to fully pass on these cost increases to our retail customers. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs may negatively affect U.S. agricultural exports, which could have downstream effects on our core customer base in the farming sector. Some analysts have also cautioned that prolonged disruptions to global trade could increase the risk of broader macroeconomic challenges, including the possibility of a recession.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, our net loss was $12.6 million, or a loss of $0.55 per diluted share, compared to a fiscal 2026 first quarter net loss of $13.2 million, or a loss of $0.58 per diluted share. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:

•Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 decreased by 12.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The revenue decrease was led by softening of demand for equipment purchases due to a decline in farmer profitability over the past few years, which is expected to remain challenged in 2026.

•Gross profit margin increased to 17.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, as compared to 15.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The increase was primarily related to an equipment gross profit margin increase from 6.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to 7.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and a change in sales mix, with a greater proportion of revenue earned from our higher margin parts and service business during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 as compared to same period last year.

•Floorplan interest expense decreased by $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2026. The decrease is primarily due to lower inventory levels subject to interest.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since January 31, 2026.

Key Financial Metrics

In addition to tracking our sales and expenses to evaluate our operational performance, we also monitor the following key financial metrics. The results of some of these metrics are discussed further throughout this Item 2.

Absorption

Absorption is an industry term that refers to the percentage of an equipment dealer's operating expense covered by the combined gross profit from parts, service and rental fleet activity. We calculate absorption by dividing our gross profit from sales of parts, service and rental fleet by our operating expenses, less commission expense on equipment sales and incentive expense, plus interest expense on rental fleet debt. This calculation of absorption does not include floorplan interest expense. We believe that absorption is an important management metric because during economic down cycles our customers tend to postpone new and used equipment purchases while continuing to run, maintain and repair their existing equipment. Thus, operating at a high absorption rate enables us to operate profitably throughout economic down cycles.

Dollar Utilization

Dollar utilization is a measurement of asset performance and profitability used in the rental industry. We calculate the dollar utilization of our rental fleet equipment by dividing the rental revenue earned on our rental fleet by the average gross carrying value of our rental fleet (comprised of original equipment costs plus additional capitalized costs) for that period. While our rental fleet has variable expenses related to repairs and maintenance, its primary expense for depreciation is fixed. Low dollar utilization of our rental fleet has a negative impact on gross profit margin and gross profit dollars due to the fixed depreciation component. However, high dollar utilization of our rental fleet has a positive impact on gross profit margin and gross profit dollars.

Inventory Turnover

Inventory turnover measures the rate at which inventory is sold during the year. We calculate it by dividing cost of sales on equipment for the last twelve months by the average of the month-end balances of our equipment and parts inventories for the same twelve-month period. We believe that inventory turnover is an important management metric in evaluating the efficiency at which we are managing and selling our inventories.

Same-Store Sales

Same-store sales for any period represent sales by stores that were part of the Company for the entire comparable period in the current and preceding fiscal years. We do not distinguish between relocated or recently expanded stores in this same-store analysis. Closed stores are excluded from the same-store analysis.

Consolidated Results

Revenue

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 decreased by 12.1%, or $72.0 million, compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to challenging industry conditions, including sustained lower agricultural commodity prices and projected total crop receipts, which negatively impacted customer sentiment.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Based upon information provided to us by CNH, we are the largest retail dealer of Case IH Agriculture equipment in the world, one of the largest retail dealers of Case Construction equipment in North America and one of the largest retail dealers of New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We operate our business through four reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction, Europe and Australia. Within each segment, we have four principal sources of revenue: new and used equipment sales, parts sales, equipment repair and maintenance services and equipment rental and other business activities.

The agricultural equipment we sell and service includes machinery and attachments for uses ranging from large-scale farming to home and garden use. The construction equipment we sell and service includes heavy construction machinery, light industrial machinery for commercial and residential construction, road and highway construction machinery, energy, and forestry operations equipment. We offer our customers a one-stop solution for their equipment needs through:

•new and used equipment sales;

•parts sales;

•equipment repair and maintenance services; and

•equipment rental and other business activities.

The new equipment and parts we sell are supplied primarily by CNH. According to its public reports, CNH is a leading manufacturer and supplier of agricultural and construction equipment based on the number of units sold, primarily through the Case IH Agriculture, New Holland Agriculture, Case Construction and New Holland Construction brands. Sales of new CNH products accounted for approximately 69% of our new equipment revenue in fiscal 2026, with our single largest manufacturer other than CNH representing approximately 3% of our total new equipment revenue in fiscal 2026. We acquire used equipment for resale primarily through trade-ins from our customers and in some cases through selective purchases. We sell parts and provide in-store and on-site repair and maintenance services. We rent equipment and provide other ancillary products and services such as equipment transportation, GPS signal subscriptions, farm data management systems, precision farming equipment, and finance and insurance products.

Throughout our 45-year operating history, we have built an extensive, geographically contiguous network of 90 full service stores located in the United States, 39 in Europe and 15 in Australia. We have a history of growth through acquisitions, including completing over 60 acquisitions with locations in 15 U.S. states, four European countries and three Australian states since January 1, 2003. We believe that there will continue to be opportunities for dealership consolidation in the future, and we expect that acquisitions will continue to be a component of our long-term growth strategy.

Certain External Factors Affecting our Business

We are subject to a number of factors that affect our business including those factors discussed in this Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and under the heading “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Item 7. Certain of these external factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Russia-Ukraine Geopolitical Conflict

Since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, most of Titan Machinery's Ukrainian customers have been able to continue their work, although at a reduced capacity and schedule. The Company's business systems in Ukraine have continued to function but have been, and could continue to be, negatively impacted in the future. To date, the impact of this conflict has not been, and in the future is not expected to be, material to Titan Machinery’s consolidated business operations and financial performance. However, the full impact of the conflict remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and its impact on regional and global economic conditions. The Company will continue to monitor the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine as it is highly complex and continues to evolve.

Macroeconomic and Industry Factors

Our Agriculture and International businesses are primarily driven by the demand for agricultural equipment for use in the production of food, fiber, feed grain and feedstock for renewable energy. Agriculture industry factors such as changes in agricultural commodity prices and net farm income, have an effect on our customers' sentiment and their ability to secure financing for equipment purchases. Macroeconomic and industry factors that affect commodity prices and net farm income include changes to worldwide demand for agriculture commodities, crop yields and supply disruptions caused by weather patterns and crop diseases, crop stock levels, production costs, and changes to U.S. dollar foreign currency exchange rates. Based on the February 2026 U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") publications, the most recent estimate of farm cash receipts for calendar year 2025 is estimated to increase 3.0% compared with calendar year 2024. The commodity prices of corn and soybeans, which are the predominant crops in our Agriculture store footprint, were at or near record prices in fiscal 2023 but declined in fiscal 2024 and have remained depressed in fiscal 2025 and 2026. The USDA projected farm cash receipts for calendar year 2026 to decrease 2.7%, as compared to the estimated results of calendar year 2025.

Our Construction business is primarily impacted by the demand for construction equipment for use in private and government commercial, residential, and infrastructure construction; demolition; maintenance; energy and forestry operations. Industry reports show that demand for construction equipment in our markets is driven by several factors, one of which is public infrastructure spending, including roads and highways, sewer and water. Any growth in federal allocations to public infrastructure spending over the next few years should positively impact our future results of operations. Likewise, any decline in federal allocations to public infrastructure spending over the next few years should negatively impact our future results of operations.

Seasonality & Weather

The agricultural and construction equipment businesses are highly seasonal, which causes our quarterly results and our available cash flow to fluctuate during the year. Our customers generally purchase and rent equipment in preparation for, or in conjunction with, their busy seasons, which for farmers are the planting and harvesting seasons; and which for Construction customers are typically the second and third quarters of our fiscal year for much of our Construction footprint. Our parts and service revenues are typically highest during our customers' busy seasons as well, due to the increased use of their equipment during this time, which generates the need for more parts and service work. However, weather conditions impact the timing of our customers' busy times, which may cause greater than expected fluctuations in our quarterly financial results year over year. In addition, the fourth quarter typically is a significant period for equipment sales in the U.S. because of our customers’ year-end tax planning considerations, the timing of dealer incentives and the increase in availability of funds from completed harvests and construction projects.

Seasonal weather trends, particularly severe wet or dry conditions, can have a significant impact on regional agricultural and construction market performance by affecting crop production and the ability to undertake construction projects. Weather conditions that adversely affect the agricultural or construction markets decrease the demand for our products and services.

In addition, numerous external factors such as credit markets, government subsidies, commodity prices, production yields, input costs, and other circumstances may disrupt normal purchasing practices and buyer sentiment, further contributing to the seasonal fluctuations.

Dependence on our Primary Supplier

The majority of our business involves the distribution and servicing of equipment manufactured by CNH. In fiscal 2026, CNH supplied approximately 69% of our new equipment revenue on a consolidated basis and 74%, 75%, 57% and 60% in our Agriculture, Construction, Europe, and Australia segments, respectively. CNH also represented a significant portion of our parts revenue. Thus, we believe the following factors have a significant impact on our operating results:

27

Table of Contents

•CNH's product offerings, reputation and market share;

•CNH's product prices and incentive and discount programs;

•CNH's supply of inventory and ability to match demand levels and delivery timelines;

•CNH's offering of floorplan payable financing for the purchase of a substantial portion of our inventory; and

•CNH's offering of financing and leasing used by our customers to purchase CNH equipment from us.

Credit Market Changes

Changes in credit markets can affect our customers' ability and willingness to make capital expenditures, including purchasing our equipment. Tight credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency and equity markets have the potential to adversely affect our business. Such economic instability and reduced consumer confidence can lead to tighter credit markets, potentially limiting access to capital and negatively impacting the financial terms available to our customers. High retail interest rates negatively impact customer demand due to higher borrowing costs, which makes purchasing equipment less attractive.

Our business is also particularly dependent on our access to credit markets to manage inventory and finance acquisitions. We cannot predict what future changes will occur in credit markets or how these changes will impact our business.

Inflation

Inflationary pressures have led to rising inventory and supply costs as well as increased labor costs. To date, in those instances in which we have experienced cost increases, we have been able to increase selling prices to offset much of the increases and expect to continue to do so in the future.

Tariffs

The U.S. federal government has imposed tariffs on imports from a broad ran
