HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly owned domestic and international subsidiaries and majority-owned joint ventures (collectively, "Hyster-Yale" or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. ("HYG"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Italy, Japan, Vietnam, Brazil and China.

The Company also operates Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on fuel-cell stacks and related systems. Nuvera is also focused on supporting on-site hydrogen production and dispensing systems that are designed to deliver clean energy solutions to customers. 

On April 1, 2016, the Company completed the indirect acquisition of the majority interest in Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni"). On July 6, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding interest in Bolzoni. Bolzoni is a leading worldwide producer of attachments, forks and lift tables under the Bolzoni Auramo and Meyer brand names. Bolzoni products are manufactured in Italy, Germany, Finland, China and the United States. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni has a strong presence in the market niche of lift-truck attachments and industrial material handling. See Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Investments in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. (“SN”), a 50%-owned joint venture, and HYG Financial Services, Inc. ("HYGFS"), a 20%-owned joint venture, are accounted for by the equity method. SN operates manufacturing facilities in Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam from which the Company purchases certain components, service parts and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Sumitomo") owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. HYGFS is a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. (“WF”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. National Account customers are large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from these equity investments is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” portion of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 September 30, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its cash flows and changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 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.

Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements adopted January 1, 2016. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
Standard
 
Description
ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
 
The guidance is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
 
The guidance clarifies the accounting for cloud computing arrangements including a software license and cloud computing arrangements that do not include a software license that should be accounted for as a service contract.
ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
 
The guidance requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance requires the acquirer to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, the guidance requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition.

Note 3—Business Segments

The Company’s reportable segments for the lift truck business include the following three management units: the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC. Americas includes operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and the corporate headquarters. EMEA includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes operations in the Asia-Pacific region including China, as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic management units and are included in the segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarter's expenses and certain information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business.

The Company reports the results of Nuvera as a separate segment. In addition, on April 1, 2016, the Company acquired a majority interest in Bolzoni, which is also reported as a separate segment. Given the timing and complexity of the acquisition, the presentation of Bolzoni in the financial statements, including the allocation of the purchase price, is preliminary and may be refined during the measurement period. See Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Financial information for each reportable segment is presented in the following table:

Note 4—Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is based on the application of a
forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the
estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's
annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the
Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or the tax effect of other unusual or non-recurring transactions or adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax rate.

A reconciliation of the consolidated federal statutory to effective income tax rate is as follows:

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company received a notice from the Italian Tax Authority approving the transfer of certain tax losses as part of an internal restructuring. As a result, the Company believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets for such losses of approximately $3.2 million will be realized in the foreseeable future, and has released the valuation allowance previously provided. In addition, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $2.0 million, primarily for a U.S.

11


tax benefit for manufacturing activities, adjustments for certain foreign earnings and repatriations, and the research and development credit.

Other discrete items during the first nine months of 2016 include a discrete tax benefit of $4.0 million, as a result of the acquisition of Bolzoni, the Company changed its previous reinvestment assertion; consequently, all of the earnings of its European operations are now considered permanently reinvested and the previously provided deferred tax liability is no longer required. In addition, the Company recognized a discrete tax expense of $1.6 million related to non-deductible acquisition expenses.

Other discrete items during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 include a discrete tax benefit of $3.7 million from an internal sale of a subsidiary between consolidated companies resulting in the repatriation of non-U.S. accumulated earnings taxed at higher rates.

Note 6—Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account company credit risk. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2016, the fair value and book value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $127.8 million. At December 31, 2015, the fair value and book value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $32.1 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency

12


exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and is also generally recognized in cost of sales.

Certain of the Company's forward foreign currency contracts were designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that were designated and qualified as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss was reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it was effective. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Any ineffective portion of net investment hedges would be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the same period as the change.

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. These derivatives are used to reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk related to forecasted purchase or sales transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are generally recognized in cost of sales. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. The terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate based upon the three-month LIBOR and pay a fixed interest rate. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements are immediately recognized in earnings and included on the line “Other” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows with the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations.

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates yield curves and foreign currency spot rates to value its derivatives and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation.

Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $591.7 million at September 30, 2016, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner and Mexican pesos. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $634.7 million at December 31, 2015, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Swedish kroner, British pounds, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $0.1 million and $8.8 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at September 30, 2016, $2.2 million of the amount included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as a gain into the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.

Interest Rate Derivatives: The Company held interest rate contracts with a total notional amount of $100.0 million at September 30, 2016. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $1.3 million and $0.3 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

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 and government and corporate bonds.
Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company's U.S. and U.K. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under a defined benefit pension plan. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $1.2 million resulting from lump-sum
distributions exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for one of its U.S. pension plans.

The cost of certain manufactured inventories, including service parts, has been determined using the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) method. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 53% and 58%, respectively, 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 the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 9—Current and Long-Term Financing

On April 28, 2016, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility to provide for a $240.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility”) that expires in April 2021. There was $54.0 million outstanding under the facility at September 30, 2016. The excess availability under the Facility, at September 30, 2016, was $168.9 million, which reflects reductions of $17.1 million for letters of credit and other restrictions. The Facility consists of a U.S. revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $140.0 million and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $100.0 million. The Facility can be increased up to $340.0 million over the term of the agreement in minimum increments of $10.0 million subject to certain conditions. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a lien on the working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which include but are not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $495 million as of September 30, 2016.
    

16


Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate based on a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2016, for U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2016, for non-U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 1.50%. The applicable LIBOR interest rates under the Facility on September 30, 2016 were 2.00% and 1.50%, respectively, for the U.S. and non-U.S. facility including the applicable floating rate margin. The interest rate under the Facility on September 30, 2016 was 2.00% including the applicable floating rate margin. The Facility also requires the payment of a fee of 0.350% per annum on the unused commitment as of September 30, 2016.

The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to certain thresholds, as defined in the Facility, and limits the payment of dividends. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than fifteen percent and less than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, as defined in the Facility. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends without any minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances in which total excess availability is less than ten percent of the total commitments under the Facility or excess availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than ten percent of the U.S. revolver commitments, as defined in the Facility. At September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.

The Company had other debt outstanding, excluding capital leases, of approximately $73.8 million at September 30, 2016, which includes the outstanding debt of Bolzoni.

During 2016, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $1.6 million related to the Facility. These fees were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Facility.

Note 10—Product Warranties

The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For certain components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 hours. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.

In addition, the Company sells separately-priced extended warranty agreements for its lift trucks, which generally provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.

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 and the cost of those claims based on historical costs.

The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.

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

Note 11—Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its businesses, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.

Note 12—Guarantees

Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range from one to five years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $165.3 million and $179.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at September 30, 2016 was approximately $210.4 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. The Company also regularly monitors the external credit ratings of the entities for which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of September 30, 2016, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with WF to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $34.4 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $7.5 million as of September 30, 2016. The $34.4 million is included in the $165.3 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2016.

Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At September 30, 2016, approximately $135.7 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $165.3 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At September 30, 2016, loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $1.0 billion. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $205.7 million, the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $135.7 million. Excluding the HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from HYGFS’ loans to WF, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to WF is $183.9 million, which is secured by 20% of HYGFS' customer receivables and other secured assets of $221.2 million. HYGFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past, and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause HYGFS to default in future periods.

Note 13—Equity Investments

The Company maintains an interest in one variable interest entity, HYGFS. HYGFS is a joint venture with WF formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States and is included in the Americas segment. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of HYGFS. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and uses the equity method to account for its 20% interest in HYGFS. The Company does not consider its variable interest in HYGFS to be significant.

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SN, a limited liability company which was formed primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. The Company purchases products from SN under agreed-upon terms. The Company's ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in the JAPIC segment.

The Company's percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in HYGFS and SN is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's equity investments are included on the line “Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's investment in HYGFS was $12.6 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The Company's investment in SN was $35.5 million and $28.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Bolzoni's investment in unconsolidated affiliates was $0.5 million at September 30, 2016.

Note 14—Acquisitions

On April 1, 2016, the Company's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Hyster-Yale Capital Holding Italy S.r.l. (“HY Italy”), acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Penta Holding S.p.A. ("Penta") from its shareholders for an aggregate
cash purchase price of €53.5 million (approximately $60.9 million as of April 1, 2016), which includes the value of the majority stake (approximately 50.5%) of Bolzoni owned by Penta, as well as Penta's other assets and other liabilities.

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of Penta, HY Italy, in compliance with Italian law and CONSOB regulations, commenced the steps to launch a mandatory tender offer in Italy for all of the remaining outstanding shares of Bolzoni, with the intention to achieve the delisting of Bolzoni following completion of the mandatory tender offer and the processes related thereto.

During the second and third quarters of 2016, HY Italy acquired the remaining outstanding interest in Bolzoni for €55.4 million or approximately $62.2 million, which was funded using cash on hand and borrowings under the Facility. On July 6, 2016, Bolzoni was delisted from the Italian stock exchange.

The acquisition of Bolzoni adds a broader range of forklift truck attachments, forks and lift tables to the Company's suite of products and provides an important platform for additional growth. The acquisition of Bolzoni has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The process of estimating the fair values of intangible assets and certain tangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates.

Given the timing and complexity of the Bolzoni acquisition, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and may be further refined during the measurement period.

In addition, the assignment of acquired goodwill to reporting units has not been determined. The $54.2 million of goodwill was assigned to the Bolzoni segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Bolzoni. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of Bolzoni’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date and are reflected in the Bolzoni segment.

Subsequent to the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016, the Company received a revised valuation report from a third-party valuation firm. After considering the results of that valuation report and other information, the Company estimated the following changes to assets acquired and liabilities assumed due to this new information with a corresponding decrease to goodwill.

In addition, the change to the estimated fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets resulted in an increase in depreciation and amortization expense and accumulated depreciation and amortization of $2.3 million, of which $0.4 million relates to the second quarter of 2016. The change to the estimated value of inventory resulted in an increase in cost of sales of $2.2 million, which all relates to the second quarter of 2016.

In April 2016, the Company entered into a non-cash working capital transaction to acquire a telematics installation and distribution business with intangibles of approximately $8.1 million. The results of operations of this acquired business have been included in the America's segment since the date of acquisition and are not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company also recognized $6.1 million of acquisition-related costs during 2016, which is included in the Americas segment. These costs are included in the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Please refer to the discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed on pages 14 through 17 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Except as noted below, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2015.

Intangible assets, including Goodwill: The Company is required to test indefinite-lived intangibles, including goodwill for impairment at least annually. To test for impairment, the Company is required to perform a qualitative assessment that requires management judgment and the use of estimates to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive, the Company proceeds to a two-step process to test indefinite-lived assets including goodwill for impairment, including comparing the estimate of the fair value of each of its reporting units to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using standard valuation methodologies (principally the income approach) incorporating market participant considerations and management’s assumptions on revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and expected capital expenditures. Estimates used by management can significantly affect the outcome of the impairment test. Changes in forecasted operating results and other assumptions could materially affect these estimates.

24


Revenues decreased 3.5% to $629.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $652.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in the lift truck business was mainly due to lower unit volume during the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. Revenues also declined due to the unfavorable effect of deal-specific selling prices and a shift in sales to lower-priced lift trucks during the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. The lift truck revenue decline was partially offset by Bolzoni revenues during the third quarter of 2016.

Revenues in the Americas declined in the third quarter of 2016 from the third quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of the reduction in unit shipments, the unfavorable effect of deal-specific pricing in North America and lower parts sales.

EMEA's revenues decreased in the third quarter of 2016 from the third quarter of 2015 mainly as a result of unfavorable currency movements of $3.3 million from the translation of sales into U.S. dollars and reduced sales of Class 3 warehouse trucks and Class 5 internal combustion trucks, partially offset by higher sales of Class 1 electric rider trucks and Class 5 Big Trucks.

Revenues in JAPIC declined in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in revenues from higher-priced, higher-capacity lift trucks, primarily Class 5 Big Trucks, in the Pacific market and the effect of deal-specific pricing in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenues from lower-priced lift trucks in China.

The Company recognized operating profit of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared with $29.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit, an increase in Nuvera's operating loss and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, the Bolzoni operating loss of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 included $2.6 million of purchase accounting adjustments related to the second quarter of 2016, based on the revised valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bolzoni acquisition. Lift truck gross profit decreased mainly as a result of the unfavorable effect of lower pricing in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015, lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency movements of $4.4 million. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by the benefits from continued material cost deflation in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. The increase in lift truck selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the absence of favorable adjustments made to incentive compensation estimates in the third quarter of 2015, acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million and increased marketing-related expenses. Favorable foreign currency movements of $1.2 million partially offset the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015.

Operating profit in the Americas decreased in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower gross profit. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to the absence of favorable adjustments made to incentive compensation estimates in the third quarter of 2015, higher marketing-related expenses and $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs. In addition, gross profit in the Americas decreased primarily due to deal-specific pricing and reduced unit shipments, which led to higher manufacturing variances during the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. These items were partially offset by favorable foreign currency movements of $3.2 million and continued material cost deflation.

Operating profit in EMEA decreased in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 mainly as a result of lower gross profit from unfavorable currency movements of $6.1 million, partially offset by continued material cost deflation. Lower gross profit was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily as a result of favorable currency movements of $1.3 million and lower bad debt expense in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015.

25



The operating loss in JAPIC increased in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015 mainly as a result of lower gross profit, primarily from unfavorable foreign currency movements of $1.5 million.

Nuvera's operating loss increased in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to an increase of $5.6 million in development and production start-up expenses mainly resulting from unfavorable inventory adjustments due to higher initial costs of components compared with expected selling prices as Nuvera began transitioning from product development to commercialization and production of its fuel cell system.

The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared with $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of the decline in operating profit, partially offset by favorable tax adjustments in the third quarter of 2016, including a $3.2 million release of the valuation allowance previously applied against the Company's Italian deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future and $2.0 million of adjustments for a U.S. tax benefit for manufacturing activities, certain foreign earnings and repatriations, and the research and development credit. See Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Revenues decreased 2.8% to $1,879.1 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $1,933.1 million in the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in the lift truck business was mainly due to lower unit volumes, the unfavorable effect of deal-specific selling prices and a shift in sales to lower-priced lift trucks during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. Revenues were also unfavorably affected by the strong U.S. dollar during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decline in lift truck revenue was partially offset by Bolzoni revenues since the acquisition on April 1, 2016.

Revenues in the Americas declined in the first nine months of 2016 from the first nine months of 2015 primarily as a result of the reduction in unit shipments and the unfavorable effect of deal-specific pricing in North America. In addition, unfavorable currency movements of $7.7 million from the translation of Brazilian sales into U.S. dollars, which strengthened against the Brazilian real, contributed to the decline in revenues.

EMEA's revenues declined slightly in the first nine months of 2016 from the first nine months of 2015 mainly as a result of unfavorable currency movements of $9.3 million from the translation of sales into U.S. dollars, a shift in sales to lower-capacity lift trucks and the unfavorable effect of lower pricing of trucks.

Revenues in JAPIC declined in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of fewer unit shipments, the unfavorable effect of lower pricing of trucks and a shift in sales to lower-priced products in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015.

The Company recognized operating profit of $26.5 million in the first nine months of 2016 compared with $77.3 million in the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in the lift truck business operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Gross profit decreased mainly as a result of the unfavorable effect of lower pricing, reduced sales volumes, which led to higher manufacturing variances, unfavorable foreign currency movements of $10.8 million, and increased U.S. health care costs in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by continued material cost deflation of $25.6 million during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to acquisition-related costs of $6.1 million, higher marketing-related expenses and increased U.S. health care costs. Favorable foreign currency movements of $4.8 million partially offset the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015.

Operating profit in the Americas decreased in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 primarily as a result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses mainly from $6.1 million of acquisition-related costs, increased marketing-related expenses and a $3.0 million estimated loss on recovery of assets for recourse obligations. Gross profit also decreased mainly as a result of the effect of lower product pricing and reduced sales volumes, which led to higher manufacturing variances, and increased U.S. health care costs in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by continued material cost deflation of $18.9 million and favorable foreign currency movements of $8.8 million during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015.

Operating profit in EMEA declined in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 mainly as a result of lower gross profit partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Gross profit declined primarily from unfavorable currency movements of $16.3 million, lower product pricing and higher warranty-related expenses. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by material cost deflation of $10.1 million and higher parts and units volumes in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to favorable foreign currency movements of $2.4 million and lower bad debt expense in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015.

Operating profit in JAPIC declined in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 mainly as a result of lower gross profit from unfavorable currency movements of $3.3 million and lower product pricing.

Nuvera's operating loss increased in the first nine months of 2016 from the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to higher development expenses mainly resulting from unfavorable inventory adjustments due to higher initial costs of components compared with expected selling prices as Nuvera began transitioning from product development to commercialization and production of its fuel cell system.

The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $30.6 million in the first nine months of 2016 compared with $57.5 million in the first nine months of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of the decline in operating profit, partially offset by discrete tax adjustments during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015. The first nine months of 2016 included discrete tax adjustments for a $3.2 million release of the valuation allowance previously applied against the Company's Italian deferred tax assets, $2.0 million of adjustments for a U.S. tax benefit for manufacturing activities, certain foreign earnings and repatriations and the research and development credit, and a tax benefit of $4.0 million as a result of the acquisition of Bolzoni, for which the Company changed its previous reinvestment assertion. As a result of this change, all of the earnings of its European operations are now considered permanently reinvested and the previously provided deferred tax liability is no longer required. The first nine months of 2015 included a $3.7 million tax benefit from an internal

sale of a subsidiary between consolidated companies resulting in the repatriation of non-U.S. accumulated earnings taxes at higher rates. See Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.4 million in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 primarily as a result of lower net income and changes in other operating activities, partially offset by the change in working capital items. The change in working capital was mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable, primarily in EMEA, from a change in the timing of receipts from customers and an increase in accounts payable, primarily in the Americas, from higher forecasted inventory purchases and a change in the timing of payments. These items were partially offset by a larger decrease in other liabilities mainly from higher payments of amounts accrued in the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015.

The change in net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 is mainly the result of the acquisition of Bolzoni in the second quarter of 2016.

The change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities during the first nine months of 2016 compared with the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to borrowings under the Facility (as defined below) during the first nine months of 2016.

Financing Activities

The Company has a $240.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility”) that expires April 28, 2021. There were $54.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Facility at September 30, 2016. The excess availability under the Facility at September 30, 2016 was $168.9 million, which reflects reductions of $17.1 million for letters of credit and other restrictions. The Facility consists of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $140.0 million and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility of

28


$100.0 million. The Facility can be increased up to $340.0 million over the term of the agreement in minimum increments of $10.0 million subject to certain conditions. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a lien on the working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which include but are not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $495 million as of September 30, 2016.
    
Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate based on a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2016, for U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively. The applicable margin, effective September 30, 2016, for non-U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 1.50%. The applicable LIBOR interest rates under the Facility on September 30, 2016 were 2.00% and 1.50%, respectively, for the U.S. and non-U.S. facility including the applicable floating rate margin. The interest rate under the Facility on September 30, 2016 was 2.00% including the applicable floating rate margin. The Facility also requires the payment of a fee of 0.350% per annum on the unused commitment as of September 30, 2016.

The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to certain thresholds, as defined in the Facility, and limits the payment of dividends. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than fifteen percent and less than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, as defined in the Facility. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends without any minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances in which total excess availability is less than ten percent of the total commitments under the Facility or excess availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than ten percent of the U.S. revolver commitments, as defined in the Facility. At September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.

The Company had other debt outstanding, excluding capital leases, of approximately $73.8 million at September 30, 2016, which includes the outstanding debt of Bolzoni. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility, the Company had remaining availability of $50.8 million related to other non-U.S. revolving credit agreements.

The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, the Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the Facility in April 2021.

Since December 31, 2015, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of the Company's contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported on pages 25 and 26 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $28.3 million during the first nine months of 2016. Capital expenditures are estimated to be an additional $19.6 million for the remainder of 2016. Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2016 are primarily for improvements at manufacturing locations, product development, manufacturing equipment and improvements to information technology infrastructure. The principal sources of financing for these capital expenditures are expected to be internally generated funds and bank financing.

OUTLOOK

Americas Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects the overall Americas market to be comparable to the same period in 2015. Overall revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 are expected to be comparable to the fourth quarter of 2015, with expected increased sales of counter-balanced and warehouse trucks offset by lower sales of Big Trucks. Operating profit in the Americas in the fourth quarter of 2016 is expected to decrease compared with 2015. Expected improvements in operating profit from higher parts sales, favorable currency relationships based on current currency rates and anticipated improvements in Brazil's operating results are expected to be more than offset by higher employee-related operating expenses and lower pricing of products. In addition, net income in the fourth quarter of 2015 included the unfavorable effect of a $7.5 million valuation allowance adjustment related to Brazil.

In 2017, the Company expects the Americas market to moderate compared with 2016, primarily as a result of a slightly weaker North America market, partially offset by an anticipated partial market recovery from very low levels in Brazil. Despite these market conditions, revenues and parts sales are expected to increase modestly in 2017 over 2016 due to anticipated market share increases. Full-year 2017 operating profit in the Americas segment is expected to decrease compared with 2016, largely as a result of an increase in sales of lower-margin units, material cost inflation and higher operating expenses.

EMEA Outlook

During 2015, EMEA had currency hedges in place that mitigated the unfavorable effect of the strengthening U.S. dollar. As these hedges have expired, realized currency rates have been less favorable. Further, the strong U.S. dollar is expected to continue to have a larger unfavorable impact on the EMEA results in the fourth quarter of 2016 and in 2017. However, over the longer term, the decline in the British pound is expected to improve the competitive position of the Company's plant in Northern Ireland.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects EMEA revenues to increase more than the overall EMEA market rate. Operating profit in the EMEA segment is also expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2016 from a very low level in 2015 primarily as a result of improved unit and parts revenues and lower material costs, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements as certain hedge contracts expire.

In 2017, moderate overall growth in the EMEA markets is expected to be driven by strength in Eastern and Western Europe partially offset by continued lower demand in the Middle East and Africa market. As a result of these market conditions and anticipated market share gains, units and parts revenues are expected to increase modestly in 2017. Operating profit in the EMEA segment is expected to increase in 2017 compared with 2016 as a result of the increased sales volumes.
 

30


JAPIC Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the JAPIC market is expected to increase modestly compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. As a result of these market conditions and the continued execution of the Company's strategic initiatives, revenues and operating results are expected to increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.

In 2017, the JAPIC market is expected to be comparable to 2016. However, as a result of the continued implementation of the Company's strategic initiatives, revenues and operating results are expected to increase compared with 2016.

Overall Lift Truck Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the overall global lift truck market is expected to increase slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of market growth in Eastern and Western Europe and China. In the context of these market conditions, and as a result of the Company's share gain programs, unit and parts revenues are expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.

The Company expects the lift truck segment operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2016 to be lower than the fourth quarter of 2015 as anticipated increases from parts and unit revenues are expected to be more than offset by lower product pricing and higher operating expenses. In addition, fourth-quarter 2016 net income is expected to decline compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, after excluding the unfavorable $7.5 million valuation allowance adjustment related to Brazil taken in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Global markets in 2017 are expected to be comparable to 2016 but because of anticipated market share gains, unit and parts revenues and operating profit are expected to increase in 2017 compared with 2016. However, net income in 2017 is expected to decrease modestly from 2016 as a result of a higher effective income tax rate and the absence of tax benefits recognized in 2016 that are not expected to reoccur.

Commodity costs declined throughout 2016 but are expected to remain at current levels in the remainder of 2016 and into 2017. However, commodities, including steel in particular, remain volatile and sensitive to changes in the global economy.

Cash flow before financing activities is expected to be positive but decline substantially in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the cash paid for the Bolzoni acquisition, cash flow before financing activities is expected to improve in 2017 compared with 2016.

The Company remains focused on gaining market share in its lift truck business over time by implementing key strategic initiatives focused on understanding customer needs, providing the lowest cost of ownership over the life-cycle of the truck, enhancing its independent distribution, increasing its warehouse market position, increasing the Company's success in the Asia markets, increasing its Big Truck market position, strengthening its sales and marketing organization, and leveraging its solutions and technology drivers.

The Company is also developing new products in many segments that are expected to support its market share growth. Production began on the new standard 2.0-3.0 ton Class 5 internal combustion engine lift truck line late in the third quarter of 2016, and shipments began early in the fourth quarter. Production also began on the Company's new European 1-1.6 ton Pedestrian Pallet Stacker during the third quarter and shipments are expected to begin later in the fourth quarter. These new products are expected to help increase market share, improve revenues and enhance operating margins for the remainder of 2016 and in 2017.

Bolzoni Outlook

Attachments for Class 1 and Class 5 lift truck products are Bolzoni's primary market. The majority of Bolzoni's revenues are generated in the strengthening EMEA market, primarily Eastern and Western Europe, and, to a lesser degree, in the North America market. In this context, Bolzoni's revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 are expected to be comparable to the revenues of €36.2 million, or approximately $40 million at current exchange rates, reported by Bolzoni for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Excluding the costs of the acquisition, estimated integration costs and purchase accounting adjustments, Bolzoni's fourth quarter 2016 operating profit and net income are expected to be accretive and slightly higher than the third quarter of 2016. The implementation of anticipated cost reduction and sales enhancement programs are expected to generate gradual growth in Bolzoni's revenues, operating profit and net income, with 2017 quarterly income gradually increasing as more operating leverage is gained from sales growth.

31


Nuvera Outlook

Nuvera's progress toward full commercialization is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2016 and in 2017 following shipments of the first Class 1, 2 and 3 Nuvera® Fuel Cell System units, which began in the third quarter. Customer interest in these products is higher than initially projected and production is ramping up for sales of an increased number of Nuvera® Fuel Cell System units. New orders are being received and negotiations for several large orders are expected to reach completion following several successful customer demonstrations. Further demonstrations are planned and are expected to provide additional sales opportunities. As a result, Nuvera® Fuel Cell System unit shipments and related revenues are expected to increase modestly in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with 2015 and increase significantly in 2017 over 2016.

Nuvera expects to continue to focus on commercializing its fuel-cell technology by expanding its product line and integrating its technology into the Hyster® and Yale® lift truck product ranges. As part of this process, Nuvera is focusing on reducing manufacturing costs per unit as production increases and greater economies of scale are achieved through the combination of its technology and innovation with the lift truck business' supply chain, manufacturing and distribution expertise. However, this cost reduction process is expected to continue during Nuvera's rapid production ramp up and transition from product development to full commercialization. Until the lower cost structure is fully in place and the supply chain and manufacturing efficiencies are fully realized, development and inventory costs are expected to result in continued inventory adjustments to reflect current selling prices, but at a decreasing rate. In 2017, as Nuvera continues to generate additional revenue and works to reduce manufacturing costs per unit, it expects a moderately lower net loss than in 2016, including significant inventory adjustments, especially in the first half of 2017. Nuvera's objective is to reach a quarterly break-even operating profit sometime in 2018.

Nuvera's hydrogen generator appliance, which produces fuel cell-grade hydrogen has an expanding list of customers in several applications. Nuvera also expects to continue to focus on cost reductions and full commercialization of this product line.

The Company believes the commercialization of Nuvera fuel cell-related technologies is an investment that will reinforce the Company’s core strategies and help drive further lift truck unit market share growth, as well as meet customer needs. It also provides the Company with the ability to expand its power solutions offerings, as well as its offering of best-in-class energy solutions to customers, by integrating fuel cells with lift trucks in ways that are expected to optimize the performance and energy efficiency of the total lift truck system.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

The Company 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 fluctuations on revenues, operating profit and net income are addressed in the previous discussions of operating results. See also Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See pages 30, 31 and F-23 through F-26 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for a discussion of the Company's derivative hedging policies and use of financial instruments. There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures since December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management has excluded Bolzoni from its assessment of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures because the Company acquired a majority interest in Bolzoni on April 1, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, Bolzoni constituted 16% of the Company's total assets.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting: During the third quarter of 2016, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company acquired a majority interest in Bolzoni on April 1, 2016 and is currently in the process of integrating Bolzoni's processes and internal controls.
