2. Forward Looking Statements
Our remarks that follow, including answers to your questions and these slides, include
statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act. All of our statements, other than statements of historical fact,
including statements regarding Oshkosh Truck’s future financial position, business strategy,
targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures and debt levels, and plans and
objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition,
forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,”
“intend,” “estimates,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “plans,” or similar words. We cannot
give any assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Some factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from our expectations include the accuracy of assumptions
made with respect to our expectations for fiscal 2006 and beyond, the Company’s ability to
continue the turnaround of the business of the Geesink Norba Group sufficiently to support its
valuation resulting in no non-cash impairment charge for Geesink Norba Group goodwill, the
Company’s ability to increase its operating income margins at McNeilus, the ability of the
Company to recover steel and component cost increases from its customers, risks associated with
a three-phase enterprise resource planning system implementation at McNeilus, the expected
level of U.S. Department of Defense procurement of the Company’s products and services, the
cyclical nature of the Company’s commercial and fire and emergency markets, risks related to
reductions in government expenditures, the uncertainty of government contracts, the challenges
of identifying, completing and integrating acquisitions, the success of the launch of the
Revolution® drum, and risks associated with international operations. Additional information
concerning these and other factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 8-
K filed February 2, 2006. Except as set forth in such Form 8-K, we disclaim any obligation to
update such forward-looking statements.
