Investor Presentation
August 14, 2013
Exhibit 99.1


Advancing security and well-being.
This
presentation
contains
forward
looking
statements
made
by
management
and
may
contain
words
such
as
“may,”
“will,”
“believe,”
“expect,”
“anticipate,”
“intend,”
“plan,”
“project,”
“estimate”
and
“objective”
or
the
negative
thereof
or
similar terminology concerning the Company’s future financial
performance, business strategy, plans, goals and objectives. These expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future
performance or results of operations and are not guarantees. While these statements are based on assumptions and judgments that management has made
in light of industry experience as well as perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be
appropriate under the circumstances, they are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different.
These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, include the cyclical nature of the Company’s industrial, municipal,
governmental and commercial markets; domestic and foreign governmental policy changes; restrictive debt covenants; availability of credit and third-party
financing for customers; our ability to anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements and the resulting new and
enhanced products generating sufficient revenues to justify research and development expenses; our incurrence of restructuring and impairment charges as
we continue to evaluate opportunities to restructure our business; highly competitive markets; increased product liability, warranty, recall claims, client
service interruptions and other lawsuits and claims; technological advances by competitors; disruptions in the supply of parts and components from suppliers
and subcontractors; attraction and retention of key employees; disruptions within our dealer network; work stoppages and other labor relations matters;
increased pension funding requirements and expenses beyond our control; costs of compliance with environmental and safety regulations; our ability to use
net operating loss and tax credit carryovers to reduce future tax payments; charges related to goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets; our ability to
expand our business through successful future acquisitions; and unknown or unexpected contingencies in our existing business or in businesses acquired by
us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K and in other filings with the SEC. These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
discussed in any forward-looking statement. The Company operates in a continually changing business environment and new factors emerge from time to
time.
The
Company
cannot
predict
such
factors,
nor
can
it
assess
the
impact,
if
any,
of
such
factors
on
its
financial
position
or
results
of
operations.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results.
This presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Such measures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and
a reconciliation of these items to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided in our filings with the SEC.
