A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Mr. Jeff Sonnek, with ICR. Thank you. You may begin. Thank you. Welcome to the Titan Machinery Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Earnings Conference Call. On the call today from the company are Bryan Knutson, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Bo Larsen, Chief Financial Officer. By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release for the fiscal third quarter ended October 31st, 2025, which is also available on Titan's Investor Relations website at ir. titan machinery. com. In addition, we're providing a supplemental presentation to accompany today's prepared remarks, along with the webcast and replay information, which can also be found on Titan's Investor Relations website within the Events & Presentations section. We would like to remind everyone that the prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. Statements do not guarantee future performance, and therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon them. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the forward-looking statement section of today's earnings release and the company's filings with the SEC, including the risk factors section of Titan's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by applicable law, Titan assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be made in today's release or call. Please note that during today's call, we may discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including results on an adjusted basis. We believe these adjusted financial measures can facilitate a more complete analysis and greater transparency into Titan's ongoing financial performance, particularly comparing underlying results from period to period. We've included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in today's release and supplemental presentation. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will open the call to take your questions. With that, I'd now like to introduce the company's President and CEO, Bryan Knutson. Please go ahead, Bryan. Thank you, Jeff, and good morning to everyone on the call. I'll start by providing an update on our inventory optimization progress and operational focus areas, and then discuss the current environment across our segments before turning the call over to Bo for his financial review and comments on our fiscal 2026 modeling assumptions. Nine months into the fiscal 2026, we're making meaningful progress on our inventory optimization initiatives, which will position us to emerge from this cycle leaner and stronger. Our team did an excellent job executing in what remains a very challenging market environment. As we head into the final quarter of the year, our focus is on finishing strong and continuing to drive inventory optimization while maintaining the customer relationships and service excellence that differentiate us in the market. We've made substantial progress through the first nine months of the fiscal year, reducing total inventory by $98 million. As I just mentioned, I'm extremely proud of the disciplined work our teams have been doing all year to move equipment in a very difficult demand environment, and we are confident we'll significantly exceed our $100 million full-year reduction target. As such, we are raising our inventory reduction target to $150 million. The quality of our inventory also continues to improve. It's fresher and has an increased mix of more high-demand categories. We are not stopping there. We still have excess inventory in certain seasonal new equipment categories, as well as our overall used equipment level. Our focus remains on finishing this fiscal year in a healthier inventory position so that we can return to the more normalized equipment margins that we've historically achieved. Regarding equipment margins, they beat expectations for the quarter, driven largely by a more favorable sales mix and our improved inventory position. Bo will provide further details, but I do expect equipment margins to moderate somewhat in the fourth quarter, given less favorable sales mix and additional inventory optimization efforts as we finish the year. The work we're doing now on inventory optimization is about setting ourselves up properly for next year over maximizing near-term margins. Our customer care initiative continues to demonstrate its strategic value and remains central to our operating strategy. While equipment demand remains under pressure at this phase of the cycle, our parts and service businesses are generating well over half of our gross profit dollars. The stabilizing force of our parts and service business is essential in times like these, keeping us closely engaged with our customers, allowing us to add value to their operations, and positioning us well for when equipment demand eventually recovers. This relentless focus on our customers dovetails with our recent activity surrounding footprint optimization, both domestically and abroad. As you may recall, we acquired Heartland AG Systems in 2022, which allowed us to gain access to the full product line of Case IH application equipment, including self-propelled sprayers and fertilizer applicators, along with incremental sales opportunities to the commercial application segment of the market. As a part of the integration process of that business, we have recently divested certain stores outside of our core footprint and sold them to local CNH dealers in the respective areas. This change will allow us to focus our resources on markets where we can best leverage our broader service network to provide best-in-class service and support to our customers and deliver improved shareholder returns. In that same vein, we have also taken an objective look at our international operations to ensure we are allocating capital to high-performing markets. Our German operations have faced challenges that have historically weighed on returns within our Europe operating segment. As such, we are in the process of divesting our dealership operations located in Germany, working in close coordination with CNH and local New Holland dealers in the region. An additional part of our footprint optimization is continuing to build upon the dual-brand strategy that we previously implemented in approximately one-third of our U.S. store network over the years. For instance, in Australia, we recently gained access to the New Holland distribution rights in six of our 15 rooftops. While we're not adding new rooftops in-country, we now have both Case IH and New Holland brands available in these markets, helping us provide better scale and customer service through improved coverage to drive increased market share while capturing synergies from both brands. We remain focused on organic growth through market share gains and focusing on our customer care strategy to drive higher parts and service revenues. At the same time, we are well-positioned to continue to execute on M&A opportunities that align within our strategy that focuses on leveraging our service network to provide best-in-class customer service while driving scale and efficiencies to achieve higher levels of profitability. With that, I'll now turn to our segments. In domestic ag, the quarter performed within our expected range, despite an environment that remains challenging for our farmer customers. While the harvest season is now largely complete and yields were generally solid across our footprint, farmers continue to face multiple headwinds. These include depressed commodity prices, which is the fundamental issue pressuring farm profitability, as well as the government shutdown, which slowed payments to farmers, adding to current cash flow challenges, along with higher interest expense. While we have seen some improvement in commodity prices recently, they generally remain below break-even levels for our customers. While it is encouraging to see China committing to resume soybean purchases, it is unlikely that this will result in a sustainable inflection in commodity prices in the near term. Further, while the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation is a positive for those customers who find themselves in a taxable position, many simply do not have the income to take advantage of it this year. The bottom line is that without a significant improvement in commodity prices or substantial additional government support, equipment demand is likely to remain at trough-type levels for the near term. Now turning to our construction segment, which continues to face some softness reflecting the broader economic uncertainty. Equipment margins remain subdued, pressured by some of the same variables that are impacting our domestic ag segment. Infrastructure and data center projects are providing a baseline level of activity, while the overall demand environment remains somewhat softer than the highs of recent years, but still at healthy levels. Europe had a strong third quarter as Romania continued to drive segment performance as customers capitalized on EU subvention funds up to the September deadline. However, absent this temporary stimulus, the underlying demand in the region remains soft and is tied to the broader ag cycle. Australia continues to experience a similar backdrop as our domestic ag business, with industry volumes below prior trough levels. However, the third quarter also reflected some difficult comparables relative to the prior year. The market remains challenging, but the fourth quarter revenues should be closer to what we saw in the prior year. In closing, we've accomplished a great deal over the past year, reducing total inventory by over $500 million from peak levels in Q2 of prior year. This has been a full-team effort, and I want to express my appreciation for how our people have maintained exceptional customer service while executing these initiatives by outperforming the market. The agricultural equipment market remains challenging, and the industry is not expecting a near-term recovery. However, we are staying disciplined in our execution, managing what we can control, and positioning the business to perform well when market conditions eventually improve. With that, I'll turn the call over to Bo for his financial review. Thanks, Bryan, and good morning, everyone. Starting with our consolidated results for the fiscal 2026 third quarter, total revenue was $644.5 million, compared to $679.8 million in the prior year period, reflecting a 4.8% decrease in same-store sales driven by weaker demand in our domestic ag, construction, and Australia segments, largely offset by stimulus-driven strength in our European segment, as Bryan discussed earlier. Despite the sales headwind in the third quarter, gross profit was essentially flat at $111 million, compared to $110.5 million in the prior year period, while gross profit margin expanded to 17.2% as compared to 16.3% in the prior year. This was largely driven by a 70 basis point improvement in our equipment margins for the third quarter versus the prior year comparative period. Notably, equipment margins for our domestic ag segment were 7% in this year's third quarter, which is a significant improvement from the 3.1% that was achieved in the first half of this fiscal year. This improvement is largely driven by our improved inventory position and a favorable sales mix, but also benefited from a $3.7 million accrual for the manufacturer incentive plans, for which nothing was accrued in the first half of the year. Operating expenses were $100.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $98.8 million in the prior year period. Our headcount and discretionary spending is down YoY as a result of disciplined expense management. However, the small increase in total operating expense was led by higher variable compensation and some transaction-related expenses. Floor plan and other interest expense was $10.9 million as compared to $14.3 million in the prior year period, reflecting our continued efforts to reduce interest-bearing inventory over the past year. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, net income was $1.2 million, with earnings per diluted share of $0.05, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.07 for the same period last year. Now turning to a brief overview of our segment results for the third quarter. Our domestic ag segment realized a same-store sales decrease of 12.3%, which took segment revenue to $420.9 million. Segment pre-tax income was $6.1 million, compared to pre-tax income of $1.8 million in the third quarter of the prior year, reflecting the positive equipment margin dynamics that I discussed earlier, as well as lower operating expenses and lower floor plan interest expense as compared to the prior year. In our construction segment, same-store sales decreased 10.1% to $76.7 million, which was driven by lower equipment sales. Pre-tax loss was $1.7 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of the prior year. In our Europe segment, same-store sales increased 88% to $117 million, which includes a $6.1 million positive foreign currency impact. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue increased 78%, which was primarily driven by Romania as customers capitalized on EU subvention funds ahead of the September deadline. Pre-tax income for the segment increased to $3.5 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million in the third quarter of last year. In our Australia segment, same-store sales decreased 40% to $29.9 million, which included a -1.3% foreign currency impact. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue decreased 39%. This decrease reflects the continued normalization of sprayer deliveries in fiscal 2026 after having caught up on a multi-year backlog of deliveries during fiscal 2025. Pre-tax loss was $3.8 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million in the third quarter of last year. Now on to our balance sheet and inventory position. We had cash of $49 million and adjusted debt to tangible net worth ratio of 1.7 times as of October 31st, 2025, which is well below our bank covenant of 3.5 times. Regarding inventory, as Bryan mentioned, we reduced our total inventory by $98 million through the first nine months of the year to $1 billion. Of that $98 million reduction, approximately $15 million came from equipment sold through three domestic divestitures we completed. The vast majority of the reduction reflects the disciplined work our team has been doing to move equipment in a challenging demand environment. Our cumulative total inventory reduction from peak levels in Q2 of the prior year now stands at $517 million. Beyond the headline inventory reduction number, we're also seeing a meaningful improvement in the quality of our inventory. We continue to focus on reducing aged inventory, which we define as equipment that has been on our lots for more than 12 months. Aged equipment inventory peaked in May of this fiscal year, and we have been able to reduce this by a total of $94 million over the last five months. This aged inventory reduction is critical to returning to more normalized equipment margin levels. Given the progress we have made and the programs we have in place to continue to drive sales in the fourth quarter, we have confidence in making further progress on aged inventory and inventory levels overall. As such, as Bryan mentioned previously, we are increasing our inventory reduction target to $150 million for the full fiscal year. Turning to our fiscal 2026 modeling assumptions, we are refining our revenue expectations for both the construction and Europe segments based on our year-to-date performance, while keeping our assumptions for domestic ag and Australia intact. We are now expecting construction to be down 5%-10% compared to our prior expectation of down 3%-8%. Europe is expected to be up 35%-40%, an improvement from our prior range of up 30%-40%, reflecting the strong performance in Romania during the third quarter. From an equipment margin perspective, I want to provide some additional context for the fourth quarter. As Bryan mentioned, our third quarter consolidated equipment margins of 8.1% benefited from our improved inventory position and favorable sales mix. Given a less favorable sales mix and additional inventory optimization efforts in the fourth quarter, we anticipate consolidated equipment margins to moderate back to approximately 7% for the fourth quarter. This reflects three primary factors. First, the fourth quarter is traditionally a big quarter of delivery of multi-unit deals for larger ticket cash crop equipment, and generally speaking, those tend to have moderately lower margins than other transactions. Second, we continue to work through aged inventory as part of our optimization efforts. Third, we anticipate some moderation in Europe following the September expiration of subvention fund availability in Romania. Consistent with our prior expectations, operating expenses are expected to decrease YoY on an absolute basis, and I continue to expect them to be approximately 16% of sales for the full fiscal year. Floor plan and other interest expense is expected to continue to decline as we make additional progress on inventory reduction and mix optimization, and we should see some of those benefits in the fourth quarter given the reduction in aged inventory we have seen in recent months. As a preface to our earnings per share expectations, I want to call out the anticipated recognition of a non-cash valuation allowance that is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter and result in an increase in our reported tax expense by approximately $0.35-$0.45 per share, reflecting a variable that was not considered in our previous assumptions. This is dictated by accounting guidance and is influenced by the degree to which our profitability is being impacted by the broader cycle. It's something that we had to recognize in the prior downturn as well and then subsequently reversed as the industry recovered from the prior trough. I expect a subsequent reversal at some point in the future this time as well. However, this will result in an increase to tax expense for the time being. Based on guidance from regulators, we do not plan to adjust this incremental tax expense out of our presentation of full-year adjusted earnings per share. I mention it here so you can better appreciate the magnitude that the underlying equipment margin improvement is having on our results in the second half of the fiscal year. To be clear, our margin improvement is being negated by this valuation allowance, and as a result, we are reaffirming our adjusted diluted loss per share guidance in a range of a loss of $1.50-$2. In summary, we are pleased with the progress we have made in a challenging demand environment with industry volumes below prior trough levels, and we are poised to make further progress in the fourth quarter. Our team's hard work advancing our inventory reduction and footprint optimization initiatives are positioning the business for improved financial performance as we move into fiscal 2027. This concludes our prepared comments. Operator, we are now ready for the question and answer session of our call. Thank you. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate you're lined up in the question queue. You may press star two if you'd like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. To allow for as many questions as possible, we ask that you each keep to one question and one follow-up. Thank you. Our first question comes from the line of Liam Burke with B. Riley Securities. Please proceed with your question. Thank you. Good morning, Bryan. Good morning, Bo. Morning. Morning. We saw very nice results on parts and service. Upon parts—excuse me—service was down 4%. Is that just normal QoQ seasonality, or is there something within that number on that down YoY number that's influenced it? Yeah. There's some noise there from a QoQ perspective. The way service is reflected does get impacted by how much new equipment we're delivering and how much of their labor is going towards PDI, which ultimately shows up as whole good versus service revenue. Overall, in big picture, service generally speaking, flat-ish this year in a world where large ag new equipment's down about 30%. Pretty happy with that. Certainly driving initiatives and expecting over the long term, as we've talked about for a while now, to be able to drive sustainable growth. Again, stability in this environment will take for now as we work on some underlying things such as driving higher take rates on extended warranties, preventative maintenance agreements, and the like to really help us accomplish what we want. That is to see something more like mid-single digit growth on average over a longer period of time. Still feeling good about all that. Great. On the construction, same-store sales just do not seem to be recovering more in line with ag. We would think that there would be less decline, but it seems to be either the same or getting worse when most of the larger infrastructure players and larger construction players are doing okay. Yeah. The first thing I would say, and I'm sure Bryan will add to it as well, underneath that for us, I'd say that there's some specific factors that aren't necessarily reflective of the market. Specifically, last year was a big year for us recovering and catching up on the delivery of wheel loaders. That extends back to the production or COVID production supply chain constraints. Last year, we received a lot in. We delivered a lot of them. Q3 was a big quarter for that specifically. That was less about the market conditions and more about catching up on that backlog. Underneath that, we do see more stability ourselves and kind of reflective of what the overall market environment is like. I don't know if you wanted to add anything. Yeah. Just as it relates maybe to the overall infrastructure impact, we certainly don't play as much in that market as, say, a Caterpillar would, but a better portion of our business is tied to ag in general, as Bo mentioned, wheel loaders and a lot of the material handling equipment, as well as REZ, which with the interest rates where they are has still been lagging. We are certainly seeing some good stability in data center projects up here in the Midwest. Again, it's basically hanging in there. Mainly what you're seeing in the comparables is what Bo mentioned with just the YoY comparison to the change in the wheel loader backlog shipment that we had. We are expecting potentially here a rate cut in December, which could be positive news. A lot of our contractors are, I'll say, cautiously optimistic here as they start to look at their 2026 schedules. We are looking at potential uplift for next year in that market. Great. Thank you, Bryan. Thank you, Bo. Yep. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mig Dobre with Baird. Please proceed with your question. Good morning and congratulations on really good progress your team seems to be making here. I guess my first question, I'd like to talk a little bit about Europe and appreciate the guidance raised here. If I heard you correctly, the tailwind in Romania from those subsidies is going to dissipate, went away in September. What are you seeing in that region more broadly? I guess really the answer to my question is, at this point, all of us really kind of focus on fiscal 2027 as the current fiscal year is pretty much done. What's the right way to think about this portion of the business for fiscal 2027, recognizing that the comparisons here are really difficult? Yeah. No, I appreciate the question. For sure, Romania this year essentially doubled up YoY. Kudos to the team for executing on that and capitalizing on all the opportunity that was there. First of all, just in terms of what we're seeing in the region, both for Romania and Bulgaria, I would say they have not had the best weather conditions in both calendar 2024 and 2025. Whereas more broadly in Europe, some of the yields were better, they were not as well off there. That is a bit of a headwind. Obviously, the funds kind of helped us mask some of that and overperform there. From a next year backdrop perspective, I would say, and again, this is directionally speaking because we will provide guidance when we get on our March call. For Romania, the pullback, 30%-40%, we will sharpen our pencil on that, but that is not out of the range of reasonable given the backdrop that they have and the significant growth they had this year. For Bulgaria and Ukraine, I would say more stable and opportunity for growth. Ex-Germany, of course, which we are talking about divesting of, mix all that in, you are talking about something, again, directionally speaking, we will sharpen the pencil, but something high teens, maybe 20% down YoY for Europe ex-Germany. That is really helpful. You guys are not hearing of any other stimulus packages or anything of the sort that might be going on in that region outside of Romania and even Ukraine as well. Obviously, those guys have been through a lot. It does actually continue a bit. Again, we'll continue to sharpen our pencil. There are still funds in play, even in Romania through 2027 for certain categories of equipment. They're pretty prescriptive. We feel like we're in a decent position to continue to take or to execute on those opportunities. We'll continue to sharpen our pencil, provide more clarity. Again, I would say an amazing job by the team to double up the business YoY. Some pullback expected. We'll continue to sharpen. Funds are there, maybe not as significant as we saw this year. Sure. Reverting back to the U.S. business, it sounds like you guys are doing some work on the footprint, which you've done in prior downturns as well. I guess the commentary, as I heard it from BJ in the prepared remarks, was pretty subdued as we think about fiscal 2027. I am sort of wondering a couple of things here. Should we plan for another year of decline in fiscal 2027 based on what you know today about your North American business? If that's the case, what's the right way to think about margins? As you've reduced the inventory, are we to the point where we can see on the equipment side more normalized margins, even if we have to deal with another year of top line or volume compression? I will have one final follow-up. Yeah. From a margin perspective, and then I'll turn it over to Bryan to talk more about just about footprint in general there. Yeah, back half of the year, obviously, you saw pretty significant inflection. I'm talking domestic ag here, setting aside the other segments, which haven't had as much volatility. First half of the year, equipment margins were about 3.1%. Back half of the year, equipment margins about 6.5%. If you set aside manufacturer incentives, which we're generally accruing and recognizing in the back half of the year as we gain certainty, back half of the year, margins would be more like five and a quarter. If we go into next year and there is an assumption that industry volume is down again and kind of setting a new historical low, at least for the past couple of decades, that five and a quarter is maybe a decent proxy to start with for the first half of next year and then continue to see us driving improvement from there. I do not know if you wanted to add any on the industry in general. Yeah. Maybe just add a little bit on footprint and then secondly on industry next year. With footprint, we work very hand in hand with CNH. They do not get surprised by any acquisition we do, nor do they with any divestiture that we do. We have done a lot of work in recent years here on our strategic plan, and we are just really continuing to work that plan. If you look at some of the larger acquisitions that we've done and as we refine those now, such as some of the divestitures we've done related to our Heartland application business, we'll continue to refine that. Again, we're working hand in hand with CNH and our fellow CNH dealers on that. We believe that's a great solution for our customers in the end. We're very pleased with that acquisition, again, as we continue to refine it. Secondly is just continuing to get ready for additional acquisitions that will be accretive and in line with our strategic plan. We'll continue to refine our footprint and optimize in the areas where we perform the best and can really maximize our customer care strategy. Then third, you'll see us doing a lot with the multi-brand strategy with CNH, as you saw. We just added the contract at five or six of our rooftops in Australia, where we did not actually add any rooftops, but we added the New Holland contract to six of our 15, as well as we have got a third of our North American footprint that is dual-branded. There is a lot of value there that we can unlock for our shareholders and for our customers and give better customer service as we do that. We are going to continue to execute on that strategy as well. Just with the overall demand making, I mean, I think, as you know, there is a lot of variables in play here. We will see what continues to happen with soybean sales and soybean consumption. Really on the demand side. As we continue to look at stock-to-use ratios here, also with the renfuel standards as we get into January here, I think we'll see some further development on that, things around E15 and biodiesel especially. Really, if you look at the government stimulus, it's going to be the big wild card here. With the shutdown, no assistance came. We'll see what comes yet in 2025. Of course, we're running out of time in the calendar year. 2026, I think that's going to be the big question as today's commodity prices, even though we've had a recent uptick, many of the farmers are still not at profitable levels here, even with the good yields that we had. That is going to, I believe, be another big wild card for next year here that we should get a lot more color on here, especially when the February WASDE report comes out and as insurance rates get locked in at the end of February and so forth. All right. My last question, from an inventory standpoint, maybe you can comment a little bit as to how you think about that. I know I have asked this question before that you record dollar inventories, right? We have to sort of keep in mind that the price of the equipment that you have in inventory has gone up a lot over the years, and your store count has increased as well. Is there a way to maybe help us understand or maybe frame for us where you are in terms of unit counts of inventories and maybe relative to the prior cycle or really any way that you think shareholders might find it helpful? Thank you. Yeah. To start with, certainly inventory being a big topic, trying to think about the best ways to provide transparency without overcomplicating things there. Certainly super impactful to talk about the price increase over the last year. We had talked about the cost of a four-wheel drive going up more than 80% since 2014. We've talked directionally speaking, again, in the last year versus where we started the last downturn. We had about one-third as many used combines, which is an important indicator in terms of how much work there is to be done on the used equipment side of things. We'll keep working on the best ways to portray that info. I mean, it's pretty easy to quickly just think about it in terms of half the number of units. Yeah, we are much better positioned than we previously were. That's really shown in just what happened with our equipment margins in Q3, for example, versus the first half of the year. Our stance has been to aggressively manage our inventory, including the value in which it sits on our balance sheet. That's pulled forward some of that P&L pain. That's where we saw lower margins than we had seen historically. Then you saw that significant inflection here in the third quarter. We feel really good about where things are priced, the number of units we still have to move, and exactly what we need to continue to accomplish this year to set ourselves up for success next year. We feel really good about where we're going to be to end the year. In a market where North America is potentially down a bit again from there, it's going to be a continued focus on managing that aging profile, or we're just going to be in a lot better position to execute at the market instead of trying to be more aggressive out there. We should continue to see progress on those equipment margins and, of course, on that reduction in floor plan interest. Yeah. Mig, I would just add a good point on your part. As you said, as we've had equipment prices per unit in some categories nearly double in less than 10 years here, dollars is not in and of itself a good way to look at it purely. As you mentioned, also increasing our store count as well. As you know, inventory turns is a really good way to look at that and also interest expense in general. Those are some of the key things for us is just as we go forward to manage our interest expense, mitigate that as much as possible, maximize our manufacturer floor plan terms, etc., and ultimately pre-sell with customers. The high-dollar cash crop, high-ticket equipment is pre-sold and not sitting on our balance sheet for any longer than possible, and especially accruing interest expense. We'll continue to monitor turns and interest expense are a couple of big indicators there. All right. Very helpful. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Mig. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ted Jackson with Northland Securities. Please proceed with your question. Thanks. Good morning. Good morning. Morning, Ted. I wanted to start out and just kind of ask a few questions around inventory just to make sure I kind of understand everything, and it will drive a few other things. You commented, your inventory year-to-date is down $98 million, but it would be down $75 million if you had not done the divestitures. Is that correct? Yeah, that is correct. Okay. When I think about the—and that is fabulous progress, by the way, so I wanted to make sure to say that. When I think about the $150 million guidance that has been put out, if you had not done any divestitures, what would that guidance be? I mean, there is a couple of—through the end of the year, right? Essentially, what I'm saying is the Australia acquisition that we did will largely offset those divestitures. The other wrinkle, I guess, we have is the Germany divestiture that will be helpful there as well. Yeah, I mean, somewhere in the $130 million-$140 million range. Again, there are some offsetting impacts. The other thing that was against us from a dollars perspective was just the FX on the Europe side, which added to inventory without actually adding units. Last thing I would say just to gauge the progress—and again, this is dollars, so it is not exactly units—but in the last down cycle, it took us two years to decrease inventory $348 million. It took us three years to decrease inventory $543 million. We are going to go past that in an 18-month period of time here. It just speaks to the approach that we're taking to manage this down faster to get positioned heading into next year. Putting it into context of when we were talking about inventories before and units and everything, the 150 to 100 on a unit basis, you know what I mean? Even if you make it look organically, you're taking up your view of terms of what you're going to be able to take your inventory numbers down, let's call it on a unit basis, regardless of the divestitures. It's indeed a change. You see what I'm saying? It's not being driven by a change in your footprint. It's being driven by a change in your view with regards to what you're going to be able to accomplish. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, the biggest thing that's been reduced here to make sure that you're appreciating it is aged used equipment, which is the biggest risk in terms of valuation. I mean, couldn't be happier with the progress the team has made. Excited about the additional progress we're going to be able to make. It reflects on the balance sheet in a given quarter. The reality is that this is something that we've been at for more than two years now as we've seen how things have been evolving with lead times, when we're getting stuff in from the OEMs, how we're digesting that. Really great progress, and we look to make more here in the next couple of months. With regards to the change with your outlook for inventory, is that change by chance being done because you have a more pessimistic view of how both fisc al 2026 looks to be? Do you understand what I'm saying? I mean, is it like if your view is that the market going forward is weaker than I expected, so I do not need as much inventory, so I am going to try to get rid of more inventory? Do you see what I am going with that? Is it a change in terms of how you kind of view the macro, or do you still kind of feel like, we are bottoming out in, let's call it, calendar 2025, and we should have a more stable market in 2026? That view that has been generally expressed across the ag market, the ag players for the last several quarters is still intact. Does that make sense what I'm asking? Yeah. Big picture-wise, I don't think things have shifted drastically. I mean, the OEMs in the general space have been talking about North America potentially down somewhat next year, but not so much that it changes our trajectory of where we want to go. It's more a reflection of the work that we still feel like we have and can accomplish for the year. I would say, though, that as we flip the calendar into next year, we're going to get to a pretty darn good spot ending this year, all things considered. We do absolutely expect some seasonal build in the spring, kind of refreshing some categories ahead of the selling season. I would not expect further reduction in the back half of next year, but getting to a good spot at the end of this year, seasonal build in the first half of next year. Then depending on where we see the market shaping up, probably taking it back down a bit in the direction of kind of where we ended this year. That is kind of my base case scenario that I would lay out for you. Yeah. Ted, I would just add, if we go back to the earlier discussion with Mig there around for our growers next year, unless we see a significant uptick here in commodity prices or, again, the wild card with government assistance, next year looks like it could be challenging again for our growers. We want to be prudent about how we are stocking our inventory accordingly. As we talked about interest expense, with interest rates as high as they are, it's important that we're mitigating the interest expense. The third thing I would say for next year and going forward is just, again, a strategic change for us in our balance sheet management. Really, as we talk about our footprint optimization, one of the benefits of that is we continue to refine and get our tighter contiguous footprint, which allows us to leverage that footprint and leverage our scale and share inventory more freely amongst our stores and still be able to capture every sale. That's still the ultimate goal and keep our customers up and running and satisfy their equipment needs and make them more efficient. To never miss a sale, but to do that with leaner inventories. That's where we're headed. Okay. My last question, it's maybe more of just asking for a little color. I mean, a big thing with CNH is they really want to get their brands consolidated under one roof. You made a comment that in Australia, six of your fifteen roofs now take both Case and New Holland equipment. I was kind of curious if you could provide a similar kind of metric for the other regions and maybe talk about, maybe it's too much, but area, when you think about that, first of all, how much of your footprint at a region, is that consolidation already taken place? I don't know, maybe to the extent that you can, how you think you're positioned for further consolidation of rooftops for CNH because it's such an important longer-term strategy for them. That's my last question. Yes. Yeah. Thank you. It is for sure. We are very much aligned with CNH and our fellow dealers in that strategy. We think there is a lot of value for our customers and our shareholders again there. It gives us additional scale. It gives our customers, most importantly, a lot of benefits as we do that, allowing us to give them quicker response times and less downtime, ultimately. We are very focused on that. We have been for a long time. We like that we have seen that growing additional energy around that strategy again from other dealers and from CNH collectively. We are going to continue to push on that. You asked how we are sitting now. That six of 15 obviously brings us to just over a third in Australia. We are going to keep pushing there. We are just about a third in the U.S., and we'll keep doing the same there. In Europe, again, you're seeing that in kind of the earlier stages. Working hand in hand with CNH in Germany. In that case, we ended up selling, and we'll look to, again, in other areas, be a buyer as things continue to move around here, and we leverage that strategy. That's also part of, again, our strategic plan as we get some dry powder ready here and look to continue to execute on that strategy in coming years. Okay. Hey, thank you very much for taking my questions. Thanks, Ted. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steve Dyer with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed with your question. Hey, thanks. This is Matthew Raab. I'm for Steve. Just want to go back to the government payments. Are you starting to see that flow through to your farmers in the footprint, or is it just too early to tell? I guess with that, was there any impact in the quarter or on order books given those payments? Earlier in the year, they received some, and then they received a little bit more in early summer. As we speak, they're receiving a little bit more, which is the final 15%. They received the 85% of some of the first assistance back in approximately June, and now they're receiving the last of that. However, there was up to nearly $10 billion discussed for soybean assistance. We have not seen that yet. There's a verbal agreement with China that would potentially return them to about 25 million metric tons annually, which is about what they've historically produced, or that's about in line with their five-year average. We'll see if it looks like they're going to execute on those purchases, then maybe we see prices come up and those funds don't need to come through and vice versa. I think the government will continue to monitor that. Again, as we look at what's left here for 2025, not optimistic about a lot more getting into our growers' hands other than what's already in motion. Certainly for 2026, I think there's a lot to look at there when you look at the pricing levels at where they're at today, especially with the current price of wheat and corn and soybeans as an example. Really, generally, most of the commodities are pressured right now. Again, it does come back to that supply and demand ratios. Understood. Thank you. On the footprint optimization, really thinking about Germany, maybe, Bo, any sense you can give us in the overall contribution Germany was to the Europe segment from a top and bottom line standpoint? I guess with that, is that enough to move the needle as we think about next year and what that could mean from a sales perspective? Yeah. Overall, for Germany, over the last several years, they have averaged roughly $40 million, low $40 million top line, and pre-tax loss of somewhere in the $4 million-$6 million range. Beneficial to transition that off from a bottom line perspective. In the context of our total whole goods revenues, not a massive impact there. That's great. Thank you very much. Thank you. That concludes our question and answer session. I'll turn the floor back to management for any final comments. Thank you, everybody, for your time this morning, and we look forward to updating you on our next call. Thank you. This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
