statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are
beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These factors include the cyclical nature of the Company’s
access equipment, commercial and fire & emergency markets, which are
particularly impacted by the strength of U.S. and European economies;
the strength of emerging market growth and projected adoption rates of
work at height machinery; the expected level and timing of U.S.
Department of Defense (“DoD”) and international defense customer
procurement of products and services and funding thereof; risks related
to reductions in government expenditures in light of U.S. defense budget
pressures, sequestration and an uncertain DoD tactical wheeled vehicle
strategy, including the Company’s ability to successfully manage the
cost reductions required as a result of lower customer orders in the
defense segment; the Company’s ability to win a U.S. Joint Light
Tactical Vehicle production contract award and international defense
contract awards; the Company’s ability to increase prices to raise
margins or offset higher input costs; increasing commodity and other raw
material costs, particularly in a sustained economic recovery; risks
related to facilities expansion, consolidation and alignment, including
the amounts of related costs and charges and that anticipated cost
savings may not be achieved; global economic uncertainty, which could
lead to additional impairment charges related to many of the Company’s
intangible assets and/or a slower recovery in the Company’s cyclical
businesses than Company or equity market expectations; risks related to
the collectability of receivables, particularly for those businesses
with exposure to construction markets; the cost of any warranty
campaigns related to the Company’s products; risks related to production
or shipment delays arising from quality or production issues; risks
associated with international operations and sales, including foreign
