The Q3 earnings release is available on the company's website. A replay of this presentation, a copy of today's transcript, and the company's latest quarterly investor presentation will be available soon after the call on Titan's website. I would now like to turn the call over to Paul.

Thanks and good morning. Our third quarter results were solid. Revenue was $454 million and adjusted EBITDA was $28 million, both consistent with our guidance. Delivering with that range despite the prolonged cyclical downturn in our end markets reflects our focus on the factors we can control and the value our one-stop-shop strategy provides to our customers. As we reported in mid-September, we signed a definitive agreement to divest our ITM undercarriage business. This transaction is an important step in our capital allocation and overall strategy as a focused tire and wheel company because it will allow us to reduce debt, invest in core growth initiatives, including M&A. We expect the sale to close in January, subject to customary regulatory and closing conditions. Until then, we are managing ITM to contribute as much as possible to our overall results, even though accounting rules require us to report it as discontinued operations. In particular, we expect ITM to generate positive cash flow during the fourth quarter. Tony will cover the financial details later. ITM has been an important business for Titan, but its products and operating model do not offer the same natural synergies as our wheel and tire businesses, including those we have realized through the recent Carlsar acquisition. After evaluating the strategic fit and the offer presented by USCO, Our board concluded that divesting ITM would better position Titan to grow its wheel and tire businesses organically, pursue potential synergistic acquisitions, and, of course, reduce debt. We believe we can create greater long-term value by directing capital toward our strong position in off-road wheels and tires. In the press release announcing the transaction, we said we intend to use the ITM proceeds to reduce debt while pursuing accretive acquisitions and strategic partnership that expand and tighten capabilities over time. Let me dig into that just a little bit further. We do not have an imminent transaction on the scale of Carl Starr pending. We already hold strong positions in wheels and tires in North America, tires in South America, and wheels in Europe, supported by deep experience in those markets. Our focus is therefore on disciplined opportunities that expand our product footprint Strengthen our customer offering and are accretive through organic investment or selective M&A. I'll give you a recent example, which is the Roderas transaction that we mentioned last year that illustrates that approach. Through that deal, we partnered with the second largest manufacturer of agricultural wheels in Brazil, investing only $4 million for an initial 20% ownership stake, and then committing to acquire the remaining 80% in 2029. with the final enterprise valuation based on the financial performance criteria. I used that Roderas example and our Titan-Yusheng joint venture to demonstrate the kind of opportunities we see ahead. Targeted investments and partnerships that close product gaps, strengthen our market position, and expand our capabilities with disciplined capital commitments. With that being said, let's shift gears and spend some time discussing how we view our businesses strategically going forward. We intend and will continue to report EMC as a reportable segment. During Q3, the segment revenues from continuing operations in EMC accounted for 17% of sales, so that is still a meaningful segment within the broader context of our business. From a product perspective, our remaining EMC business consists of wheels and tires that are used primarily on construction and industrial equipment. Although steel undercarriage is the majority of revenue in that segment, There is still a good range of equipment in that area that we believe has growth potential within our wheels and tires businesses and therefore is still a good accretive business for Titan. Shifting over to the consumer segment, we delivered a solid quarter despite the difficult comparison with last year. End market demand remains pressured by high interest rates and inflation. Common stories, our sizable aftermarket business has been a bright spot because consumers continue to use and maintain existing equipment. even as demand for new equipment remains weak. On the OEM side, though, we have been winning new business with our product innovation and that new business has been coming on both existing and new equipment platforms and that was on full display at the Quip Expo in Louisville last week. You know, those wins are supporting sales in 2026 despite the weaker OEM markets and they will contribute even further to sales gains in 2027. Moving over to the ag sector, we face the strongest headwinds in this quarter of all our segments, driven by many of the same pressures affecting consumer. Although ag has a sizable aftermarket business, our OEM sales represent a larger share of that segment's revenue, therefore resulting in a year-over-year decline for this quarter. Buyers remain on the sidelines this quarter. Even as many industry participants view 2026 as a potential floor, I think we agree with that comment and we looked at 2027 with cautious optimism. We believe the conditions for recovery are developing and that Titan would see demand rebound quickly when customers begin investing again. The grain prices have improved from a year ago. That's a definite positive. And there are reports that farmers may use less fertilizer because of the remaining high costs of high fertilizer. All else being equal with that being said, lower fertilizer would reduce crop yields and again, help further support crop prices. Along with that, the government has announced continuing support into the sector. So again, we do hold that position that this is a floor period in 2026 and look to 2027 with cautious optimism. With all that being said as well, that's positive for farmer incomes. enables them to replace aged equipment. Interest rates are always tough to predict. They're changing daily. But you do see an environment where interest rate cuts in a more improved environment for interest rates would be available and appropriate for 2027, and that would also spur demand. In addition to the macro wind shifting to drive demand, we also note that low inventory levels throughout our channels mean that any uptake and demand should flow through to the orders for wheels and tires pretty quickly. As machinery is built, wheels and tires are normally fitted fairly earlier in the process. They allow units to be moved through a plant station to station. So again, Titan would be well positioned to be beneficial, early beneficiary of demand resumption. And again, I want to remind everybody, we don't need the market to return to peak for us to benefit from a market. We need the market to improve, and the volumes and the flow through will help us at the production absorption cost level quite meaningfully. So with that, sum things up. The remainder of this year will remain challenging, but we expect to enter 2027 with optimism for two reasons. First, we expect the ITM sale to close in January. strengthening our balance sheet and positioning us to invest in core growth initiatives. And secondly, as I was just talking about, the conditions for recovery are taking shape and our market position of low channel inventories would allow Titan to respond quickly when demand returns. So with that, I will turn it over to Tony.

Thank you, Paul. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Against the macro backdrop and inclusive of ITN, We delivered solid results with revenue above the midpoint of our guidance range and adjusted EBITDA within our guidance range. The adjusted EBITDA was just below the midpoint of the guidance range due to the delayed receipt of some tariffs. Key figures from the third quarter included sales of $454 million, gross margin of 15%, adjusted EBITDA of $28 million, and Free Cash Flow of $10 million. As Paul noted, following the announced sale of ITM, we are reporting that business has discontinued operations in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. My remarks on the third quarter business performance will therefore focus on continuing operations that is excluding ITM. Turning to segment performance, Our agricultural segment continued to face pressure from elevated financing, oil, and fertilizer costs. Segment sales declined 12% from the prior year period as activity in the U.S. remained subdued and Brazil slowed notably. This impacted fixed cost leverage, together with higher input costs, resulted in segment gross margins of 7.6%. compared with 13.2% in the prior year period. On a positive note, grain prices, particularly corn and soybeans, remain above prior year levels, which could support former income in 2027. Looking specifically to Brazil, we noted last quarter that activity levels were sluggish for several reasons, including uncertainties surrounding the presidential election expected. to significantly affect agricultural policy, along with the higher interest rates there and broader inflationary pressures tied to the Iran war. Inventories also remain elevated following the cautious approach many market participants adopted ahead of the Brazil presidential election, and we expect those inventories will need to clear before demand resumes. Moving on to our consumer segment, I want to first note that last year's third quarter benefited from strong sales due to the impact of U.S. trade policies on tariffs. And I've explained this during the last earnings call. As those policies were implemented in the second quarter of 2025, many market participants focused on drawing down existing lower-cost inventory, thereby suppressing sales temporarily. As that inventory fled, purchasing activity resumed in the third quarter. setting up a difficult comparison this year. As a result, segment sales declined 3% year over year. The gross margin for the quarter expanded to 27.6% and included 3.5 million of net tariff reforms. Excluding those reforms, gross margin improved to 24.7% from 23.4% last year. For EMC, which now represents wheels and tires only, Sales grew 5% to $57 million, driven primarily by growth in our Europe business and complemented by U.S. product sales sourced externally from our strategic suppliers. And this is a growth strategy we had shared in the past. We launched several of these new products this year, and these have been well received by the market and allow us to compete and gain market share in areas in which we previously did not participate. The EMC gross margin for the quarter improved to 7.1% from 6.1% last year. SG&A, including R&D expenses, was $46 million for the quarter, compared with $49 million in the prior year period, primarily due to our continued focus on cost reduction initiatives. As a percentage of sales, expenses were relatively flat at $13.8%. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $29 million in the third quarter, compared with $19 million in the prior year period. This favorable cash flow performance reflected focused execution by our team to optimize working capital investment. Capital expenditures were $6 million in the third quarter, compared with $8 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures are $25 million compared with $30 million in the prior year period as we continue to make prudent, measured investments in the business. Tax expense was approximately $200,000 for the quarter, well below the $4 million to $5 million expectation we provided last quarter. And this is primarily due to the classification of ITM as discontinued operations. For the fourth quarter of 2026, We expect tax expense to be similar to the third quarter. Inclusive of ITM, net debt was $406 million at the end of the quarter, down from $430 million at the end of the second quarter. Upon closing the ITM sale, we intend to use a significant portion of the proceeds to further reduce debt. Turning now to our financial guidance, Inclusive of ITM, for the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect revenue of $410 million to $430 million and adjusted EBITDA of break-even to $7 million. This fourth quarter guidance includes ITM's operations forecast of revenue of $115 million to $120 million and adjusted EBITDA of around $10 million. For fiscal year 2026, are revised financial guidance inclusive of ITM's revenue of $1.85 billion to $1.87 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $91 million to $101 million. This full-year guidance includes ITM operations forecast of revenue of $465 million to $470 million and adjusted EBITDA of around $40 million. With respect to additional tariff reforms, we expect approximately $6 million of refunds net. We currently expect to receive the refunds in the fourth quarter, but the timing remains subject to applicable government review and processing procedures. We intend to reinvest the proceeds back into the business with a focus on initiatives that enhance our product offerings and deliver greater value to our customers. Looking ahead, Any improvement in macroeconomic conditions, including lower interest rates and easing input cost pressures, could support a more robust demand environment in 2027. I will now turn it over to the operator for the Q&A session.

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star 1 again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Joe Gomez with Noble Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Thank you. Morning, Joe. So just on the ITM, real quick on a technical, when do you think you'll have out, I haven't seen them yet, the adjusted numbers for the First and Second Quarters.

Yeah, Joe, but maybe that's something we haven't provided. And, you know, looking at what we're supposed to provide, that's really not something we're looking at. However, you know, but with full year, you know, you have the full year for prior year. I mean, that would be able to give you the numbers for the full year. You will be able to deduce what to expect quarterly from that, I think. I think it will be very clear.

Okay. Thanks for that. So, as to the questions, you know, with the sale of ITM, you know, how does that impact, you know, your previous $250 million mid-cycle adjusted EBITDA? And then Paul, I recall in the last year This time, you know, it was thought that, you know, 25 was going to kind of be the bottom for the ag cycle. In 26, we'd start to see some improvement. Obviously, that hasn't come through. I mean, you give us a list of things that, you know, you think, you know, give you cautious optimism into 27. But we had that same kind of cautious optimism going into 26. And I guess the question is, you know, what's different this time?

Really, the duration, like you alluded to in your question, Joe, I mean, it's the duration. It's getting long in the tooth. When we talked about the market improvement in 2026, it was based upon information that came from our customers and forecasts we had seen. Obviously, that was a false start. We've seen this year have tremendous amount of ups and downs with the obviously the geopolitical environment with the inflationary pressures of fuel, fertilizer, and then you throw in a volatile interest rate market. And so that's created some unusual trends in farmer sentiment. We saw some what I would call another false start about a month ago and one to three months before that. And so I think you look at it and go with the duration of all these false starts, eventually it's going to be real. And again, all those factors that we've been discussing and listed again today are really good reasons why when the market gets any type of footing, it will definitely go up. We see the impact in our business operating at these levels as others are. We feel very optimistic that with the additional volume, the flow through will be strong to the bottom line. because operating where we are right now, taking days out of our schedule like we are in Q4 with the normal shutdowns that you have with the holidays, it's painful and it's costly. So again, I think with the market turning, we'll see a really nice positive uptake on the flow through when we can run our plants. But back to your question, we're feeling it around us. We have throughout the course of this year, we've seen drop-in orders at times. Again, I'm not calling them a start to a rebound. There's been drop-in orders where people need inventory and Titan's strength is we can fill those. We remain the leader in our space with our production capabilities and so we've been servicing those drop-in orders both on OEM and we've seen it on the aftermarket side. I mean we have some strong aftermarket results in October that tell us the market has potential as inventories get low. People want to replenish them and hopefully we'll get back to a building cycle in 2027 and I think it'll be Again, very positive to Titan because those inventory levels are low. So we're watching it closely. I'd love to tell you a definitive start date from when the market will turn. But I think all those variables do add up, Joe, to a period of time in 2027 where the markets will get better.

Great. Thanks for that, Paul. Appreciate it. I'll get back to you. Thank you. Thanks, Joe.

Your next question comes from the line of Mike Schliske with DA Davidson. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions here. Good morning, guys. Just checking in your guidance here in the fourth quarter, you basically have almost, it could be as low as zero margin, but a pretty low margin in the fourth quarter, again, almost nothing. In the past, though, even just last fourth quarter, you got at least 3%, you know, $10 million worth of EBITDA when the sales were only about $410 million. So I'm curious as to kind of this year why you can't make any money at $410 to $430 million.

Yeah, like, you know, the environment is different this year versus last year, very different. I mean, last year we did not have the Iran war with the level of energy cost increases and general inflation increases we're seeing and the impact on business. So it's a very different operating environment. And when we compare the two, there's material costs are a major piece of that. And we do what we can as a company to pass on those costs. And in some cases, as we've said before, our price lacks the material costs. and we continue to see those energy costs and inflationary cost increases. We continue to lag in those, so we continue to, you know, chase the material cost increase from a price perspective. However, you know, realistically, you know, as a business, we'd have to look at whether we can pass on 100% and determine the right approach forward. So that's a big difference when we look at the performance. And, of course, there's the volume impact of Brazil. Brazil is significantly down just given where the economies are year-over-year. So that's a huge piece of the volume impact we're seeing year-over-year. Even though on the top line you may see sales, a lot of that is price, price that relates to material costs that we have passed on already. There's still a lot that we need to pass on. And it's a lag.

Got it, got it. All right. And then for my follow-up, I'm just curious whether, are there any dis-synergies or costs that were being absorbed by having ITM in the portfolio that you'll have to start bearing after ITM is out? So just trying to figure out whether there's any kind of marginal impact to the rest of the business if ITM isn't there anymore, you know, purchasing or front or back office, et cetera.

Yeah, thanks for that. The short answer is no. ITN was run as a very separate business, and that's why we said there's not a lot of synergies with it. So I think we're going to have opportunities going forward, but in terms of the cost, there's nothing like that in terms of the synergies.

Perfect. Great. Thanks so much, guys. I'll have that back in the queue.

Thanks, Mike. Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Steve Farrazani with Sidoti. Your line is now open. Please, go ahead.

Morning, Paul. Morning, Tony. I know it's been a very busy few weeks for you guys. There's a lot going on in all of your segments. And then to announce this transaction, Paul, I just want to start with, because I've covered you for a few years now, and I know the first year I covered you, the ITM Potential Transaction was talked about a lot, particularly by investors. It sort of wasn't discussed so much the last couple of years, so this was a little bit of a surprise. Can you walk through the reason for the decision now? It sounds like you just got the offer you wanted, but was there anything more to it?

No, I think that is the best way to characterize it. You know, the board put in Thank you all for joining us. discussions gained steam throughout this year. And like you said, we reached a point where the valuation made sense and strongly view it as a win-win for both sides. And the decision was made. And so that's really how the timing took place. There's not any other variables to it.

And I do want to follow up the last question you got from the previous, previously, which was around, obviously, When you sell a business that was generating this much revenue and it was, I know, a pretty separately run business, you're going to have the impact of that negative operating leverage. The flip side being your balance sheet looks much, much better. But how do you and the board think about that in terms of the new profile and sort of filling that gap?

Yeah. Look at it from three angles. First is keep that balance sheet strong, reduce debt, have a strong balance sheet like you said, and that will enable the opportunities to pursue growth initiatives. We view we have a strong organic platform for growth. Going back to the question asked earlier, when we modeled that 250 mid-cycle, a lot of the growth and the benefits We saw growth in sales in the future was coming from wheels and tires. That's how we modeled that 250. It wasn't that ITM was going to grow at the same rate of wheels and tires. We feel strongly that there are organic growth initiatives and we feel as well there are opportunities to pursue a creative and strategic M&A. I'm careful when I say that. and I want to look to what we've done recently and I highlighted in my comments with Roderos and Yusheng, you know, building up strong joint venture partnerships that require some equity with the potential to then go above, you know, either the 50% threshold or all the way up to 100 and then therefore consolidate the results exists with both Yusheng and Roderos and they're very accretive businesses to tighten, especially Yusheng. I've talked about that one so I won't belabor it, I look at Carl Star and the acquisition point multiple for that was attractive for Titan shareholders. The business has performed well. You see it in our consumer segment. Again, the future is bright for what we have done since we've acquired that business. Walk around the Equip Expo last week and see our products on OEM Fitments that they weren't there a few years ago. So again, we look at opportunities to take our product platform, our geographical production footprint, and grow within the wheel and tire space. But we're going to do it with the mindset that we've got to protect our balance sheet. And our board is aligned with that. And so again, I think all the reasons lined up to pursue the divestiture of ITM. and many more.

The 4Q guidance, which is probably a little bit softer than a lot of us were looking at. Historically, if you were entering a better year on the ag side, you'd start seeing it as early as 4Q. It sounds based on this guide, though it sounds like you're seeing some impact on EMC as well. How do you think about the ability to recover if you aren't seeing strength early in 4Q for the new model year? How do we need to think about that? Should we be concerned?

Well, there is some recovery when you look at it sequentially and year over year. We are seeing some growth, and that does impact our Q4, meaning we are going to have to, in certain parts of our business, build ahead and put it in inventory versus realize it is sales because, again, managing labor effectively is the best way to put it. So there is a movement going on in Q4 that will be related to future sales in Q1. So there is some growth. But what we are seeing from customers because of the geopolitical inflationary interest rate environment, everybody's being cautious. So we are not lacking growth for next year. There is growth available and being forecasted for next year. So I want to be clear on that. And again, some of those costs and the impact will be absorbed into Q4 because we do have some shutdown days built in. We got the holidays, and so we're going to be running our plants with no sales related to that in preparation for, again, some increase in visibility into forecasts for Q1.

I mean, certainly we all heard it late summer when one of the biggest players called this year at the bottom. in the ag equipment. But that was late summer when now the Iran conflict continues. And I know you can't characterize that comment. But do you think the optimism, given the length this thing is going on and no clear end date, depending on who you ask, does that, I mean, we got the government payments announced since, but how do you characterize the shift in Your customers now versus, say, late August, have you seen a significant change?

I would just take out the adjective. There's been a positive change. We feel it. As we go through our modeling for 2027, which we'll be doing in November, there is growth. And that's what we're modeling. That's what the expectations are. That's what we're feeling in the market from our customers. But it's always with that word

Thank you all so much for joining us today.

and really the reality is that something's going to change positively that we hopefully see that we can put the word significant in front of there. We do see growth. We're all waiting for that. It's significant growth.

Got it. Thanks, Paul. Very helpful. If I could jam one more in just in terms of, I guess, for Tony and for you, Paul. The next time we hear from you, you'll be reporting for Q. At that point, you're probably going to be offering up guidance without ITM. So for us on this side, we got to try to model 2027 as you can imagine without it. Any kind of, Tony, any kind of tips you want to offer? We can see your 3Q. Is there anything specifically beyond the normal seasonality? I know ITM is Europe-based. Anything? And we have some 2025 numbers. Just anything you can offer and we can follow up after the call. to help us when we start thinking about 2027. I know you obviously clearly don't want to guide right now, but anything you can help us because we're going to have to model it.

Yeah, I appreciate that question. Obviously, we can talk more after the call. But I think when we look at seasonality in the business, as you know, it's really the second half. It's really mainly ag. There's some of that in consumer. ITM is not as such as seasonal as the rest of our businesses in Q4. So the fact that we have Q3 and Q4 gives the perspective to what it's going to look like. The earlier parts of the year are not as seasonal, even when we look at ITM. So I think that would be a good way for you to look at it as you think about next year.

Got it. Thanks. Thanks, Tony. Thanks, Paul. Thanks, David. Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Kirk Ludeke. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for the call. Just a couple follow-ups. You mentioned Brazil was weak, and I'm curious if not, and I'm sure it's early days, but do you have any Any early read as to how the election results might impact the business?

They're digesting it. We were just down there a couple weeks ago, so pre-election, and, you know, certainly it was a surprise. But I would say, I would characterize it this way. I mean, the Brazilian ag market, you know, not talking again to the overall broader economy, but the ag market was already expecting a very difficult Q4 and Q1, regardless of the election results. And so I don't think that perspective is going to be altered. And we saw the Brazilian stock market go down 20%. But from the ag space, we were already planning and already scheduling to be shut down. Our customers had significant shutdowns planned for Q4, Q1. We believe Brazil ag will start off the year difficult. Tony talked about that in his comments, the impact it had on our business when you look at year-over-year Q4. I see that going into Q1, and that's irrespective of the election results. Looking at it again from my vantage point, ag is so important to that economy. If I was leading a country, I would really not want to turn my back on the farmers in that community and what it means to the overall broader economy. So I don't think there was a ton of support in place already for farmers. When you look at what's been going on the last 12 months, some of the Some of the benefits they had for farmers in the past had been already pulled back, resulting, as I said, in a weaker ag environment in Brazil. I don't know how it gets worse unless they just don't like to eat in Brazil. If you've been down there, they've got great food. I don't think that's going to happen. I think you're already seeing the worst of it. We were already prepared here at Titan, and regardless of the election results, The impact it has on the broader economy could be negative, as the market has indicated. But I think from the ag space, it's in our results, our forecast that we've discussed, and really all our preparations. Our team is exceptional in Brazil. Kirk, we've worked with them since year one of being down there. They know how to manage costs, make changes, and deal with a volatile market in Brazil. So I'm confident that Titan will do that, and we were already prepared for that.

Got it. That's very helpful. Thank you. Follow-up on ITM. Are there any use of proceeds that you'd call out, any cash taxes, debt you have to pay down, any letters of credit you have to put up cash for, anything like that that might be a use of cash?

Yeah, just from the proceeds we've said, we're going to focus primarily, first of all, we'll pay down that strength in our balance sheet. So that's going to be the first thing we're going to do. In terms of taxes, we don't expect any significant tax leakage.

Got it. Thank you. And with respect to the guidance, I might have missed this, but did you break it out between the continuing and discontinued ops?

Yes. Yes, I did. I gave the guidance Inclusive of ITM, but I also called out ITM's forecast for Q4 and the full year. I can easily say it again. ITM, the sales range for Q4 is 115 to 120 million and around 10 million of EBITDA. That's for the Q4 and for the full year, it's 465 to 470 million on sales. And then for EBITDA, it's around 40 million.

Got it. Thank you. I appreciate that. And then with respect to material costs, I remember over the years you've emphasized contracts that were longer term and also had material pass-through provisions. I'm just curious if that mitigates at all what you're seeing out there.

Yeah, we have those. And we are getting the price on that, and that's why I talked about the lag. That's for our OE customers, our major OE customers, and that's why we have that lag. You know, because the prices with our OE customers don't adjust, you know, immediately every day or every week or monthly, but some adjust quarterly, some adjust twice a year, so there is a lag. And when you have a situation where inflation and cost increase are continuing to go up, Yes, you have prices that you're getting, but you're kind of continually chasing the material cost increase with your price. At some point, when those cost increases stop and costs level out, then you would see that improvement in the margin. Then you would see the benefit of, because you would then get price without a cost increase. But yes, it is in our contract, and we're executing on those.

Got it. I appreciate it. Thank you. And then lastly, I remember ITM was, and this may have changed, but I remember that you felt like it had a lot of working capital requirements. And I'm just curious if that changes when we forecast going forward, will the company's working capital requirements be less than they have been in the past because ITM's out of the mix?

Yes, it will be less. It will be less just given that, like you said, the business uses more working capital than the other parts of our business. So yes, that will be different going forward. And you can see some of that in how we drove cash flow in the third quarter. You can see some of that there.

Got it. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thanks, Kurt. Thank you.

And your next question comes from Derek Soderbergh with Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Yeah. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. I was wondering if you could talk a bit about competition, if you're seeing any change there, particularly from the low-cost importers. Are your customers importing more from China this year versus last? Can you talk about any of that or any change you're seeing in competition? And then I've got to follow up.

Yeah, I don't think there's been any change. It's always present. It's been a factor of our industry and our business for a period of time. So has there been a dramatic change? No. Do they, especially India, do they operate unfairly at times? Yes, we've proven that. I've mentioned that a number of times on the calls, and you can go look at the judicial files that will support that statement. So we do see some tactics that They have unfair practices, but we do see some tactics at times where they'll take containers and they'll drop them and they'll give a year payment terms, etc. But that's been going on before. So I don't consider that a change. I'm just kind of illustrating what the market is. So I don't think our business is being impacted by significant changes in how our competition operates. We do also employ A lot of low-cost manufacturing ourselves, some kind of shift gears and bring it internal instead of external. It's a significant part of our business. We have excellent operations in some low-cost countries and we have strong partners that we use as third-party manufacturing in low-cost countries because that's what our customers and the market dictates. What we have that's different than the competition or better than the competition is we have a combination of a strong production footprint that we control, therefore bringing risk mitigation along with the strength we have of low-cost manufacturing and partners and joint ventures. And with that, we have incredible brands, incredible distribution relationships and partners there. And so the way we view the market, Derek, is that that is the way it is, and we are going to win and compete within it. and many more. Our business model now, and it has been and it will be going forward, is we are going to be the best of both worlds. And we will win because we bring something to the table that the others don't. And that is, again, we can produce and mitigate risk to our customers. You are not going to be relying on all the craziness that exists in the world of geopolitics, currencies, et cetera, because you can rely on Titan to say, if you need low cost, we can do that. But guess what? We can also get you products made by ourselves directly to your plants with no risk. That's how we're going to win.

Perfect. Well, all my other questions have been asked, so I appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks, Derek.
