Then 1 month later made the following press release:
" Titan said it
expects revenue of $440 million for the quarter, about $50 million less than it
had anticipated. As a result, the company is anticipating a pre-tax loss
between $700,000 and $1.2 million. That is $7 million less than Titan had
previously expected. On a per share basis, the company expects a loss in the
range of 1 to 3 cents per share.
Analysts polled by FactSet were
anticipating Titan would report net income of 18 cents per share on revenue of
$478.4 million for the quarter.
Titan lowered its full-year
forecast Thursday as well, citing lower operating margins in its construction
segment. The company now anticipates earning $1.70 to $2 per share, down from
its prior forecast of $2 to $2.30 per share. It reiterated its revenue forecast
of $2.35 billion to $2.55 billion. "
TITN SGA
for 6months last year was $111 million. Tomorrow they will report 6mos, they
already reported $69 million SGA for Q1 up from $55 million Q1 year ago.
In
2nd quarter that they report tomorrow there will be their first annual interest
expense that they made on May 1st this year on an $150 million Indenture they
received a year ago. Q2 last year they didn't have that interest expense. That
number will take a chunk out of net income tomorrow.
Also Top
2 execs are both receiving 48% cash salary increases this year vs.last year.
that's an additional $75,000 per quarter added expense.
On April 10,2013 in their 10K company disclosed:
- ******* April 2012 DEF Proxy Disclosure and
compare it to the 2013 proxy disclosure, you'll notice that TITN
entered into an additional $50million worth of lease contracts (bringing
total to over $100million) with the entity Dealer Sites LLC which is an entity
that is owned in part to the top 2 Execs at TITN. What really raises an
even bigger Red Flag is that TITN only increased locations owned by Dealer
Sites by 2, 46 to 48 locations, but added over $50 million in leases
agreements! there
was no disclosure of the additional lease arrangements in the 10K filed on
April 10,2013"
