NMHG HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Percentage Data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NMHG Holding Co., a Delaware corporation ( “NMHG” or the “Company”). NMHG Holding is a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (“NACCO”). The Company’s subsidiaries operate in the lift truck industry.

NMHG designs, engineers, manufactures, sells, services and leases a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally under the Hysterâ and Yaleâ brand names. The Company manages its operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing (“NMHG Wholesale”) and retail distribution (“NMHG Retail”). NMHG Wholesale includes the manufacture and sale of lift trucks and related service parts, primarily to independent and wholly owned Hysterâ and Yaleâ retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Scotland, The Netherlands, China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines and Brazil. NMHG Retail includes the sale, leasing and service of Hyster® and Yale® lift trucks and related service parts by wholly owned retail dealerships and rental companies.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2005 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2005. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FIN No. 47: In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, which clarifies that the term, conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. However, the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. FIN No. 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN No. 47 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2002 Restructuring Program

As announced in December 2002, NMHG Wholesale has phased out its Lenoir, North Carolina lift truck component facility and is restructuring other manufacturing and administrative operations, primarily its Irvine, Scotland lift truck assembly and component facility. As such, NMHG Wholesale recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $12.5 million in 2002. Of this amount, $3.8 million related to a non-cash asset impairment charge for building, machinery and tooling, which was determined based on current market values for similar assets and broker quotes compared with the net book value of these assets; and $8.7 million related to severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 615 manufacturing and administrative employees. Payments of $0.1 million were made to approximately 6 employees during the first quarter of 2005. Payments are expected to continue through 2006. The final $0.1 million for post-employment medical benefits was paid during the first quarter of 2005 and is included in the table above under “Other.”

Additional restructuring related costs, primarily related to manufacturing inefficiencies, which were not eligible for accrual as of December 31, 2002, were $1.1 million and $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $1.1 million additional costs incurred during the first quarter of 2005 are classified as Cost of sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the $2.2 million additional costs incurred during the first quarter of 2004, $2.1 million is classified as Cost of sales and $0.1 million is classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

2001 Restructuring Program

NMHG Retail recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $4.7 million in 2001, of which $0.4 million related to lease termination costs and $4.3 million related to severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 140 service technicians, salesmen and administrative personnel at wholly owned dealers in Europe. Final severance payments were made during 2004. No lease payments were made during the first quarter of 2005.

Note 4 - Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:

                 
    MARCH 31     DECEMBER 31  
    2005     2004  
Manufactured inventories:
               
Finished goods and service parts
  $ 166.5     $ 146.0  
Raw materials and work in process
    202.2       174.2  
 
           
 
               
Total manufactured inventories
    368.7       320.2  
 
               
Retail inventories:
    30.2       29.9  
 
           
Total inventories at FIFO
    398.9       350.1  
 
               
LIFO reserve
    (37.9 )     (30.5 )
 
           
 
  $ 361.0     $ 319.6  
 
           

The cost of certain manufactured and retail inventories has been determined using the LIFO method. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 62% of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at year-end, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 5 – Equity Investments

NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a joint venture with GE Capital Corporation (“GECC”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent and wholly owned Hyster and Yale lift truck dealers and national account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

NMHG has a 50% ownership interest in Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Company, Ltd. (“SN”), a limited liability company which was formed primarily for the manufacture and distribution of Sumitomo-Yale branded lift trucks in Japan and the export of Hyster and Yale branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. NMHG purchases products from SN under normal trade terms. NMHG’s ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in NFS and SN are reported on the line Income from unconsolidated affiliates in the Other income (expense) portion of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Summarized financial information for these equity investments is as follows:

                 
    THREE MONTHS ENDED  
    MARCH 31  
    2005     2004  
Revenues
  $ 76.7     $ 68.3  
Gross Profit
  $ 25.5     $ 23.6  
Income from continuing operations
  $ 5.3     $ 3.8  
Net Income
  $ 5.3     $ 3.8  

Note 6 - Guarantees and Contingencies

Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independently owned retail dealerships, NMHG provides guarantees of the residual values of lift trucks, or recourse or repurchase obligations such that NMHG would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-

Table of Contents

party financing arrangements for which NMHG is providing a guarantee generally range from one to five years. Total guarantees and amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $202.6 million and $203.7 million, respectively. Losses anticipated under the terms of the guarantees, recourse or repurchase obligations are not significant and have been reserved for in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Generally, NMHG retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event that NMHG would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, NMHG would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at March 31, 2005 was approximately $244.5 million, based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks.

NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NFS, a joint venture with GECC, formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to Hysterâ and Yaleâ lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Generally, NMHG sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with NFS or other unrelated third parties. NFS provides debt financing to dealers and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of the customer or concentration issues within GECC necessitate providing standby recourse or repurchase obligations or a guarantee of the residual value of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through NFS. At March 31, 2005, $164.9 million of the $202.6 million of guarantees discussed above related to transactions with NFS. In addition, in connection with the current joint venture agreement, NMHG also provides a guarantee to GECC for 20% of NFS’ debt with GECC, such that NMHG would become liable under the terms of NFS’ debt agreements with GECC in the case of default by NFS. At March 31, 2005, the amount of NFS’ debt guaranteed by NMHG was $123.5 million. NFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past and although there can be no assurances, NMHG is not aware of any circumstances that would cause NFS to default in future periods.

NMHG provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For the new 1 to 8 ton trucks, NMHG provides an extended powertrain warranty of two years or 2,000 hours as part of the standard warranty. In addition, NMHG sells extended warranty agreements, which provide additional warranty up to three to five years or up to 3,600 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which NMHG does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs are incurred to perform under the warranty contracts, in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts.” Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim. The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims to be processed and the cost of processing those claims. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts are as follows:

Note 7 – Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks, investment contracts and government and corporate bonds.

In 1996, pension benefits were frozen for employees covered under NMHG’s U.S. plans, except for those employees participating in collective bargaining agreements. As a result, in the United States only certain NMHG employees covered under collective bargaining agreements will earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. Other employees, including those whose pension benefits were frozen, will receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that it expected to contribute approximately $4.1 million and $5.6 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2005. The Company now expects to contribute approximately $4.1 million and $4.6 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company contributed $0.8 million to its U.S. pension plans and $0.8 million to its non-U.S. pension plans.

The Company also maintains health care and life insurance plans which provide benefits to eligible retired employees. The plans have no assets. Under the Company’s current policy, plan benefits are funded at the time they are due to participants.

The Company adopted FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos.

First Quarter of 2005 Compared with First Quarter of 2004

NMHG Wholesale

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004:

         
    Revenues  
2004
  $ 421.3  
 
       
Increase in 2005 from:
       
Unit volume
    45.0  
Unit product mix
    42.1  
Unit price
    10.8  
Foreign currency
    9.9  
Parts
    7.1  
 
     
 
       
2005
  $ 536.2  
 
     

Revenues increased $114.9 million, or 27.3%, to $536.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to improved unit volume and unit product mix, mainly in the Americas. Worldwide unit shipments increased 13.0% to 19,909 units in the first quarter of 2005 from 17,624 units in 2004, primarily due to an increase in unit shipments of 2,084 units, or 18.9%, in the Americas. The increase in product mix was primarily a result of a shift in sales to higher-priced lift trucks in all markets. Also contributing to the increase in revenues were price increases in the Americas and Europe and the favorable impact of the translation of sales in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars, primarily in Europe and an increase in parts volume.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating profit for the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004:

         
    Operating  
    Profit

  $ 9.7  
 
       
Increase (decrease) in 2005 from:

    (4.1 )
Foreign currency
    (5.2 )
 
     
 
       
2005
  $ 8.9  
 
     

NMHG Wholesale’s operating profit decreased 8.2% to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2004. Operating profit decreased despite the increase in revenues primarily due to a $22.2 million increase in material costs, mainly due to higher commodity costs for steel in the Americas and Europe. As this trend became apparent during 2004, NMHG implemented price increases intended to help offset these material cost increases. Unit margins increased $10.8 million due to increases in price, which partially offset the increases in material costs. These increased material costs were also partially offset by the favorable impact of higher unit volume and product mix on revenues as discussed above, as well as lower restructuring related expenses and lower warranty costs. Also contributing to the decline in operating profit was the net negative impact of foreign currencies, primarily in the Americas, as a result of units and components imported into the United States from Europe and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the British pound sterling. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses and marketing expenses for the Company’s new series of 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks and an increase in employee-related expenses. Operating profit was also unfavorably affected by the reinstatement of the NACCO fees in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004.

Net income increased $0.3 million to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2004, as the impact of the decrease in operating profit was more than offset by an increase in Other income (expense), net, primarily due to an increase in Income from unconsolidated affiliates of $1.5 million, mainly due to improved earnings of Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Group, Ltd. (“SN”), a 50%-owned joint venture in Japan accounted for under the equity method. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in interest income as a result of additional funds available to invest.

Backlog

The worldwide backlog level was 27,500 units at March 31, 2005 compared with 24,500 units at March 31, 2004 and 25,700 units at December 31, 2004. The increase over the prior year backlog was primarily due to increased demand for lift trucks in the Americas and Europe.

NMHG Retail (net of eliminations)

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004:

         
    Revenues  
2004
  $ 49.5

Foreign currency
    2.8

    (2.8 )
 
     
 
       
2005
  $ 47.7  
 
     

Revenues decreased 3.6% to $47.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared with $49.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in eliminations as a result of an increase in intercompany sales between NMHG Wholesale and NMHG Retail. The decrease in revenues in Europe was due in part to the sale of NMHG Retail’s last wholly owned German dealership in January 2005, which caused a reduction in revenue of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004. Also, contributing to the decrease in Europe were lower revenues from unit sales and rentals. In Asia-Pacific, revenues were substantially unchanged as increases in units sales were offset by lower rental revenues. The negative impact of the increase in eliminations and decrease in revenues in Europe was partially offset by the favorable impact of translating sales in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars as a result of the weaker U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating loss for the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004:

2005

NMHG Retail’s operating loss increased $1.4 million to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased costs resulting in reduced margins on new trucks in Asia-Pacific. Also contributing to the increase were lower margins on service revenue in Europe.

NMHG Retail’s net loss increased $0.5 million to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 as compared with $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2004, due to the factors affecting operating loss, partially offset by lower interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following tables detail the changes in cash flow for the three months ended March 31:

                         
    2005     2004     Change

Cash flow before financing activities
  $ (33.6 )   $ 21.2     $ (54.8 )
 
                 

Operating cash flow decreased $51.8 million primarily due to the unfavorable impact of working capital which was negatively affected by changes in accounts payable, accounts receivable and inventories. The changes in accounts payable and accounts receivable were primarily due to timing differences of payments and receipts as well as an increase in revenue. The increase in inventories was primarily due to the timing of shipments and the building of inventory in anticipation of the rearrangement of production lines later in 2005 as the Company shifts to the production of new products.

Cash used for investing activities increased $3.0 million due to an increase in spending on property, plant and equipment and a decrease in the proceeds from the sale of assets. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to an increase in spending for production capacity and tooling related to the production of the new 1 to 8 ton lift trucks and an increase in purchases of rental equipment. The decrease in proceeds from the sale of assets was primarily due to a decrease in the sales of retail rental equipment in Asia-Pacific.

                         
    2005     2004     Change  
Financing activities:
                       
 
                       
Net reduction of long-term debt and revolving credit agreements
  $ (2.7 )   $ (30.8 )   $ 28.1  
 
                 
 
                       
Net cash used for financing activities
  $ (2.7 )   $ (30.8 )   $ 28.1  
 
                 

Net cash used for financing activities decreased $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004 primarily due to a decrease in repayments of external debt in 2005. In the first quarter of 2004, NMHG Wholesale used available cash to loan to NMHG Retail to minimize its outstanding external debt.

Financing Activities

NMHG has a $135.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility that expires in May 2007. The maximum availability under the revolving credit facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against the inventory and accounts receivable of the borrowers, as defined in the revolving credit facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will

23


Table of Contents

change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the facility. At March 31, 2005, the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was $92.3 million, which reflects reductions for the commitments or availability under certain foreign credit facilities and for an excess availability requirement of $10.0 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2005.

During 2002, NMHG issued $250.0 million of 10% unsecured Senior Notes that mature on May 15, 2009. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NMHG Holding Co. and are guaranteed by substantially all of NMHG’s domestic subsidiaries. NMHG Holding Co. has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes on or after May 15, 2006 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. The proceeds from the Senior Notes were reduced by an original issue discount of $3.1 million.

In addition to the amount outstanding under the Senior Notes, NMHG had borrowings of approximately $25.0 million at March 31, 2005 under various working capital facilities.

Both the revolving credit facility and terms of the Senior Notes include restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to NACCO. The revolving credit facility also requires NMHG to meet certain financial tests, including, but not limited to, minimum excess availability, maximum capital expenditures, maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tests. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

NMHG believes that funds available under the revolving credit facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of NMHG’s revolving credit facility in May 2007.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that NMHG expected to contribute approximately $5.6 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2005. NMHG now expects to contribute approximately $4.6 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2005.

Since December 31, 2004, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of NMHG’s contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $7.6 million for NMHG Wholesale and $1.0 million for NMHG Retail during the first three months of 2005. These capital expenditures included tooling for new products, plant improvements, machinery, equipment and lease and rental fleet. It is estimated that capital expenditures will be approximately $37.2 million for NMHG Wholesale and $2.0 million for NMHG Retail for the remainder of 2005. Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2005 include tooling related to the ongoing launch of the new 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks, investments in manufacturing equipment, plant improvements and rental fleet additions. The principal sources of financing for these capital expenditures will be internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

Capital Structure

NMHG’s capital structure is presented below:

                         
    March 31     December 31        
    2005     2004     Change  
Total net tangible assets
  $ 370.5     $ 382.6     $ (12.1 )
Goodwill and other intangibles
    353.7       354.8       (1.1 )
 
                 
Net assets
    724.2       737.4       (13.2 )
Debt
    (286.6 )     (290.5 )     3.9  
Minority interest
          (0.1 )     0.1  
 
                 
 
                       
Stockholder’s equity
  $ 437.6     $ 446.8     $ (9.2 )
 
                 
 
                       
Debt to total capitalization
    40 %     39 %     1 %

The decrease in total net tangible assets was primarily due to a $38.3 million decrease in cash and a $15.5 million increase in accounts payable partially offset by a $41.4 million increase in inventory. The decrease

24


Table of Contents

in cash and increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the build-up of inventory in anticipation of the launch of the new 1 to 8 ton product line and timing of shipments. Debt decreased $3.9 million as the Company paid down capital lease obligations and revolving credit balances.

Stockholder’s equity decreased $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 as a result of a $9.5 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), offset by $0.3 million of net income in the first quarter of 2005. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was due to an $8.1 million unfavorable change in the foreign currency translation adjustment and a $1.4 million loss on deferred cash flow hedges.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NACCO typically charges its operating subsidiaries for services provided by its corporate headquarters. NACCO charged fees of $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005, which were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No such fees were charged to NMHG in the first three months of 2004.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

NMHG operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency on operating results are discussed above. The Company maintains a foreign exchange hedging program designed to moderate the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations over the near term.

OUTLOOK

NMHG Wholesale

Global lift truck markets continued to grow in the first quarter of 2005. NMHG Wholesale is hopeful that these increased levels will be sustained and continue to improve going forward. The company expects stronger lift truck markets in 2005 in the Americas and Asia-Pacific and relatively flat lift truck markets in Europe compared with prior periods. While first quarter backlog rose significantly compared with a year ago and orders are anticipated to remain strong, NMHG Wholesale anticipates that its unit shipment levels for 2005 will increase at controlled rates to accommodate the phase in of newly designed products. Nevertheless, NMHG Wholesale expects to continue to have increased volumes in 2005 in comparison with 2004 levels.

Despite the stronger lift truck markets, NMHG Wholesale expects 2005 to be challenging as the company works to moderate the effect of increases in material costs, which are largely related to supplier price increases for steel. Price increases implemented by NMHG Wholesale during 2004 are expected to continue to help partially offset the effect of the increased material costs, although the company does not anticipate full cost recovery in 2005. Further, the company continues on a regular basis to monitor changes in material costs, which appear to have begun to trend down from the peak levels at the end of 2004, and to evaluate the need and potential for future price increases. In addition, since past currency movements are expected to continue to affect current operations, NMHG Wholesale is actively analyzing moving the sourcing of components from British pound sterling and euro areas into U.S. dollar and low cost areas on the assumption that currencies are likely to stay at levels that are disadvantageous to NMHG Wholesale’s current sourcing pattern.

NMHG Wholesale is currently completing several significant program initiatives that will benefit the company long-term but near-term are expected to increase costs and inefficiencies, especially in the remainder of 2005. These additional programs relate to NMHG Wholesale’s new product development and manufacturing restructuring activities. NMHG Wholesale introduced the first of the new 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks in the first quarter of 2005, with expected introduction of all of these products by the first quarter of 2007. Product development and product introduction costs related to these new product development programs are expected to continue at current high levels through 2005, as the introduction of the new lift trucks continues on schedule with the launches of the 2 to 3 ton pneumatic lift truck and the 1 to 2 ton cushion and pneumatic lift trucks in the third quarter of 2005. At the same time, the associated costs attributable to start-up inefficiencies and the ongoing manufacturing restructuring program are expected to continue as some production moves to different facilities. The introduction of these new products will continue to put pressure on earnings in the second and third quarters of 2005. This pressure should be significantly alleviated by the end of 2005 as the assembly lines move into full production of this first wave of new products. NMHG Wholesale expects to complete the majority of the rearrangement of the layout of its assembly lines in the Americas by mid-2005 with a consequent reduction in manufacturing costs and an improvement in productivity in 2006.

While the introduction of additional 1 to 8 ton products, as well as certain other programs, including the final changes in European production locations, are expected to continue to affect operating results unfavorably in 2006, the benefits from the increasing effect of its pricing and other programs and expense reduction efforts already implemented are expected to provide significant benefits in 2006. Overall, NMHG Wholesale’s various long-term programs, particularly significant new product development programs, are

25


Table of Contents

expected to enhance profitability and generate growth increasingly as they mature in the 2006 to 2008 period.

NMHG Retail

In 2005, NMHG Retail expects to continue its programs to improve the performance of its wholly owned dealerships in order to meet its longer-term objective of achieving at least break-even results while building market position. However, restructuring and improvement programs will continue in 2005 without achieving the full benefit of those programs until future years.
