2. Forward Looking Statements
Our remarks that follow, including answers to your questions and these slides, include statements that we
believe are โforward-looking statementsโ within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements
regarding the Companyโs future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs,
earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, words such as โmay,โ โwill,โ
โexpect,โ โintend,โ โestimate,โ โanticipate,โ โbelieve,โ โshould,โ โprojectโ or โplanโ or the negative thereof or
variations thereon or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond the Companyโs control, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These
factors include the consequences of financial leverage associated with the JLG acquisition, especially given
turmoil in the credit markets, the level of the Companyโs borrowing costs and the Companyโs ability to
successfully amend its credit agreement to provide financial covenant relief; the cyclical nature of the
Companyโs access equipment, commercial and fire & emergency markets, especially during a global
recession and credit crisis; the Companyโs ability to obtain cost reductions on steel and other raw materials
following sharp cost increases in 2008, obtain other cost decreases or achieve product selling price
increases; the duration of the global recession and its adverse impact on the Companyโs share price, which
could lead to impairment charges related to many of the Companyโs intangible assets; the expected level and
timing of U.S. Department of Defense procurement of products and services and funding thereof; risks related
to reductions in government expenditures and the uncertainty of government contracts; risks associated with
international operations and sales, including foreign currency fluctuations; the Companyโs ability to turn
around its Geesink business; risks related to the collectibility of receivables during a recession, especially
access equipment receivables; and the potential for increased costs relating to compliance with changes in
laws and regulations. Additional information concerning these and other factors and assumptions is
contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 8-K filed January 29, 2009. Except as set forth in
such Form 8-K, we disclaim any obligation to update such forward-looking statements.
