This segment manufactures commercial and custom firefighting vehicles and equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting (“ARFF”) vehicles, snow removal vehicles, ambulances wreckers, carriers and other emergency vehicles primarily sold to fire departments, airports and other governmental units and towing companies in the U.S.Americas and abroad; mobile medical trailers sold to hospitals and third-party medical service providers in the U.S. and Europe; and broadcast vehicles sold to broadcasters and TVtelevision stations in North Americathe Americas and abroad.

 In February 1998, the Company significantly increased its presence in the

The Company’s commercial segment through the acquisition of McNeilus, a concrete mixer and refuse collection vehicle manufacturer. Since that time, the Company has acquired additional businesses serving these markets and other adjacent markets. This segment manufactures rear- and front-discharge concrete mixers, refuse collection vehicles, mobile and stationary compactors and waste transfer units, portable and stationary concrete batch plants and vehicle components sold to ready-mix companies and commercial and municipal waste haulers in North America Europe and other international markets and field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes sold to mining, construction and other companies in the U.S.Americas and abroad.

 In December 2006, the Company entered the access equipment market (defined as aerial work platforms and telehandlers) through the acquisition of JLG, the Company’s largest and most recent acquisition, to form its access equipment segment. Founded in 1969, JLG is a leading global producer of access equipment based on gross revenues. The access equipment segment manufactures aerial work platforms and telehandlers used in a wide variety of construction, industrial, institutional and general maintenance applications to position workers and materials at elevated heights. Access equipment customers include equipment rental companies, construction contractors, manufacturing companies, home improvement centers and the U.S. military.

Competitive Strengths

The Company plans to capture and Debt Reduction. In lightimprove its historic share of significantly lower demand in certaina market recovery. A number of the Company’s businesses as a result of the global economic downturn, escalating steel and other costs and the Company’s significant leverage, the Company’s primary near term focus is on cost management and reduction as well as generating cash for debt reduction. Over the last several months,markets in which the Company has reduced its global workforce by approximately 10%participates are down anywhere from 40% to more than 90% from peak levels, some since 2007, and cut discretionary spending in a manner the Company believes will yield over $100 million of annual spending reductions.vehicle fleets continue to age. The Company has also focused significant attention on reducingis working capital to free up cash for debt reduction, primarily through tighter controls over productionimprove its sales, inventory and inventory reduction programs. The Company expectsoperations planning and sales capture processes to continue these and additional activities throughout fiscal 2009more effectively respond to reduce its cost structure and accelerate debt reduction.

Providing Superior Quality and Service to Each Market. The Company generally markets a premium product linecustomers’ needs when the recovery occurs in each of its markets and seeks to provide superior quality and service in each market to sustain its premium product positioning.

Optimize Cost and Capital Structure.The Company sustainsplans to optimize its quality reputation with a strong aftermarket focus. The Company actively tailors distributioncost and servicecapital structure to each of its domestic and international markets. The Company utilizes dealers and distributors in markets characterized by a large, fragmented customer base. The Company uses its owned or leased facilities and in-house sales representatives in markets characterized by a concentrated customer base, supplemented by a network of nationwide service representatives. In addition, the Company’s access equipment segment sells to independent rental companies to reach its various markets. The Company believes that this distribution and service model provides frequent contact withprovide value for customers and timely service at a reasonable cost. Because the Company’s vehicles must be ready to go to war, fight a fire, rescue, clean up, tow, broadcast, buildshareholders by aggressively attacking its product and perform other critical missions, the Company globally has actively been expanding Company-owned service locations, opening remanufacturing facilities, encouraging dealers to expand service locations and adding roving service vans to maintain high readiness levels of its installed fleets.

Pursuing Global Growth. The Company believes that opportunities exist to develop or increase distribution of its products, particularly in the access equipment segment, in global markets including developing countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. The Company expects it will continue to establish additional sales and service operations in these markets over the next several years as well as invest in low-cost country manufacturing facilities and sourcing operations in these regions to support these growth opportunities.

The Company has maintained an emphasis on new product development as it seeks to expand sales by leading its core markets in the introduction of new or improved products and new technologies, through internal development, strategic acquisitions or licensing of technology. In fiscal 2008, the Company invested $92.0 million in development activities for new products and product enhancements. The Company believes it is at the forefront of commercializing emerging technologies that are capable of important changes in customer uses of its products, such as the TerraMax autonomously operated vehicle, the ProPulse hybrid-electric drive, the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum, the PUC vehicle configuration and the ClearSky telematics solution.

Focusing on Lean Operations. The Company seeks to deliver high performance products to customers at both low total product life cycle costs and low acquisition prices.operating costs. Historically, the Company has actively benchmarked competitor costs and best industry practices and utilized teams of industrial engineers and procurement specialists to re-engineer manufacturing processes and leverage purchasing volumes to meet these objectives. Since 1996, the Company’s corporate strategic purchasing group has procured approximately two-thirds of all materials and components Company-wide to leverage the Company’s full purchasing power. In fiscal 2008, theThe Company combined its strategic purchasing teams globally intoalso utilizes a single organization led by an externally recruited chief procurement officer to capture the Company’s full purchasing power across its businesses and to promote low cost country sourcing. Beginning in fiscal 2004, the Company adopted a more comprehensive, lean enterprise focus to continue its drive to be a low cost producer in all of its product lines and to deliver low product life cycle costs for its customers. Lean is a methodology to eliminate non-value added work from a process stream. In fiscal 2006,During the last few years, the Company expandedhas implemented this strategy by:

·Consolidating its lean initiativemanufacturing footprint resulting in a 20% reduction in manufacturing facilities since 2008 with plans to further optimize its footprint;

·Combining the creation ofCompany’s strategic purchasing teams globally into a single organization led by an externally recruited chief procurement officer to capture its full purchasing power across its businesses and to promote low cost country sourcing;

·Creating chartered cost reduction teams at all businesses and the introduction ofintroducing broad-based training programs. By utilizing teams comprisedprograms;

·Creating a new global manufacturing team to leverage manufacturing synergies across its segments and further promote lean initiatives;

·Creating a quality management system to drive enhanced quality throughout all of individuals with significant lean experience to train the Company’s business unitsbusinesses resulting in lean skills,satisfied customers and a lower cost of quality; and

·Launching the Oshkosh Operating System (“OOS”) to create common practices across the Company has been able to introduceenhance its performance. The OOS is a system of doing business that is focused on serving and delighting customers by utilizing continuous improvement and lean conceptspractices. The Company believes that the OOS enables it to a number ofsustain superior performance for its businesses. These teams have since been assimilated into the businesses and continue to implement lean cost saving programs. In fiscal 2008, the Company created the new position of executive vice president of global manufacturing services to continue to improve its operations. This individual will lead the Company’s global manufacturing efforts as the Company continually works to improve productivitycustomers, shareholders, employees and other key performance measures at the Company’s current facilities as well as expand its global footprint. stakeholders.

As a result of this lean focus, the Company expects to more efficiently utilize its manufacturing facilities, increase inventory turns and reduce product costs, manufacturing lead times and new product development cycle times over the next several years. The Company believes that by optimizing its cost structure it will be able to continue to reduce its outstanding debt.

Value Innovation. The Company intends to maintain its emphasis on new product development as it seeks to expand sales and margins by leading its core markets in the introduction of new or improved products and new technologies.

While the Company believes commercial customers represent a majority of the refuse collection vehicle market, many municipalities purchase their own refuse collection vehicles. The Company believes it is positioned to create an effective municipal distribution system in the refuse collection vehicle market by leveraging its existing commercial distribution capabilities and by opening service centers in major metropolitan markets.

 

The Company also has established an extensive network of representatives and dealers throughout the Americas for the sale of Oshkosh, McNeilus, CON-E-CO and London concrete mixers, concrete batch plants and refuse collection vehicles. The Company coordinates among its various businesses to respond to large international sales tenders with its most appropriate product offering for the tender.

 

IMT distributes its products through approximately 10090 dealers with a total of 110 locations worldwide, including approximately 30 international dealers. International dealers are primarily located in Central and South America, Australia and Asia and are primarily focused on mining and construction markets. The Company believes this network represents one

Table of adopting lean manufacturing management practices across all facilities.Contents

 The Company focuses on achieving targeted synergies with each acquisition. The Company seeks to relocate activities to the lowest cost facilities, install robotic and high speed manufacturing equipment, introduce lean production processes and minimize material handling to enhance the operations of acquired businesses.

        The Company recognizes the importance of maintaining efficient factories to be a low cost producer and to have the capacity needed to meet customer demands. Accordingly, the Company has conducted numerous facility expansions in recent years.

The Company educates and trains all employees at its facilities in quality principles. The Company encourages employees at all levels of the Company to understand customer and supplier requirements, measure performance, develop systems and procedures to prevent nonconformance with requirements and produce continuous improvement in all work processes. ISO 9001 is a set of internationally acceptedinternationally-accepted quality requirements established by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 9001 certification indicates that a company has established and follows a rigorous set of requirements aimed at achieving customer satisfaction by preventing nonconformity in design, development, production, installation and servicing of products. Most of the Company’s facilities are ISO 9001 certified.

The Company has a team of employees dedicated to deploying the OOS. The team is comprised of process engineers, who drive efficiency gains through line balancing and plant layout design; operations/manufacturing experts who lead rationalization projects using overall business knowledge; facility and asset experts who reduce capital spend by optimizing overall utilization of key assets; and materials management personnel who establish methods to ensure parts availability and efficient delivery to production while minimizing inventory. The Company created the OOS to promote common practices across the Company to enhance its performance through continuous improvement and lean practices. To achieve this goal, the Company locates manufacturing in the plants that can ensure the maximum utilization of the Company’s assets, allowing for vertical alignment in core competences, irrespective of the segment in which the sale originates. Examples of this include the production of M-ATVs and SandCat Tactical Protector Vehicles at the Company’s access equipment segment manufacturing facilities, the relocation of certain defense and fire & emergency segment production to the Company’s facilities in Kewaunee, Wisconsin and the manufacturing of defense components at the Company’s commercial manufacturing facilities in Iowa.

Engineering, Research and Development

 

The Company believes its extensive engineering, research and development capabilities have been key drivers of the Company’s marketplace success. The Company maintains five facilities for new product development and testing with a staff of approximately 265285 engineers and technicians who are dedicated to improving existing products and development and testing of new vehicles, vehicle bodies and components. The Company prepares annualmulti-year new product development plans for each of its markets and measures progress against those plans each month.

 

Virtually all of the Company’s sales of fire apparatus, broadcast vehicles and mobile medical trailers require some custom engineering to meet the customer’s specifications and changing industry standards. Engineering is also a critical factor in defense vehicle markets due to the severe operating conditions under which the Company’s vehicles are utilized, new customer requirements and stringent government documentation requirements. In the access equipment and commercial segments, product innovation is highly important to meet customers’ changing requirements. Accordingly, in addition to new product development engineers and technicians, the Company maintains aan additional permanent staff of over 450425 engineers and engineering technicians, and it regularly outsources some engineering activities in connection with new product development projects.

-9-


For fiscal 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 2006,2009, the Company incurred engineering, research and development expenditures of $92.0$142.0 million, $75.8$109.3 million and $42.1$72.7 million, respectively, portions of which were recoverable from customers, principally the U.S. government.

Competition

 

Competition

In all of the Company’s segments, competitors include smaller, specialized manufacturers as well as large, mass producers. The Company believes that, in its specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets, it has been able to effectively compete against large, mass producers due to its product quality, flexible manufacturing and tailored distribution systems. The Company believes that its competitive cost structure, strategic global purchasing capabilities, engineering expertise, product quality and global distribution and service systems have enabled it to compete effectively.

 

Certain of the Company’s competitors have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and distributiongovernmental affairs resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will continue to compete successfully with the products of competitors or that the Company will be able to retain its customer base or to improve or maintain its profit margins on sales to its customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Defense segment. The Company produces heavy-payload, medium-payload and light-payload tactical wheeled vehicles for the U.S. and other militaries and for law enforcement applications. Competition for sales of these vehicles includes, among others, BAE Systems plc, Man Group plc, Mercedes-Benz (a subsidiary of Daimler AG), Navistar Defense LLC (a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation), The Volvo Group, Force Protection Inc. and General Dynamics Corp. The principal method of competition in the defense segment involves a competitive bid that takes into account factors as determined by the applicable military customer, such as price, product performance, small and disadvantaged business participation, product quality, adherence to bid specifications, production capability, project management capability, past performance and product support. Usually, the Company’s truck systems must also pass extensive testing. The Company believes that its competitive strengths include: strategic global purchasing capabilities leveraged across multiple business segments; extensive pricing/costing and defense contracting expertise; a significant installed base of vehicles currently in use throughout the world; large-scale, flexible and high-efficiency vertically-integrated manufacturing capabilities; patented and/or proprietary vehicle components such as TAK-4 independent suspension, Oshkosh power transfer cases and Command Zone vehicle diagnostics; ability to develop new and improved product capabilities responsive to the needs of its customers; product quality; and after-market parts sales and service capabilities.

The current U.S. Administration has indicated that it supports increased competition for existing defense programs. The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act also requires competition for defense programs in certain circumstances. Accordingly, it is possible that the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines will conduct competitions for programs for which the Company currently has contracts upon the expiration of the existing contracts. Competition for these and other DoD programs could result in future contracts being awarded based upon different competitive factors than those described above and would primarily include price, production capability and past performance. In addition, current economic conditions have put significant pressure on the U.S. federal budget.  The Budget Control Act of 2011 contains an automatic sequestration feature that would order cuts to the defense budget if Congress fails to enact the specified $1.2 trillion in U.S. federal deficit reductions to be recommended by the Joint Committee. Budgetary concerns could result in future contracts being awarded more on price than the past competitive factors described above.

Approximately 21% of the Company’s September 30, 2011 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2012.

Government Contracts

 

Approximately 29%56% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 20082011 were made to the U.S. government, a substantial majority of which were under long-termmulti-year contracts and programs in the defense vehicle market. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Company’s sales are subject to risks specific to doing business with the U.S. government, including uncertainty of economic conditions, changes in government policies and requirements that may reflect rapidly changing military and political developments, the availability of funds and the ability to meet specified performance thresholds. Long-termMulti-year contracts may be conditioned upon continued availability of congressional appropriations, which could be impacted by a changethe uncertainty regarding the future level of U.S. military involvement in presidential administrations in January 2009Afghanistan, the President’s plan to remove virtually all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011 and federal budget pressures arising from the federal bailout of financial institutions, insurance companies and others.pressures. Variances between anticipated budget and congressional appropriations may result in a delay, reduction or termination of these contracts. In addition, current weak economic conditions have put significant pressure on the U.S. federal budget.  The Budget Control Act of 2011 contains an automatic sequestration feature that would order cuts to the defense budget if Congress fails to enact the specified $1.2 trillion in U.S. federal deficit reductions to be recommended by the Joint Committee. Budgetary concerns could result in future contracts being awarded more on price than the past competitive factors described above.

 

The Company’s sales into defense vehicle markets are substantially dependent upon periodic awards of new contracts and the purchase of base vehicle quantities and the exercise of options under existing contracts. The Company’s existing contracts with the DoD may be terminated at any time for the convenience of the government. Upon such termination, the Company would generally be entitled to reimbursement of its incurred costs and in general, to payment of a reasonable profit for work actually performed.

 

Defense contract awards that the Company receives may be subject to protests by competing bidders, which protests, if successful, could result in the DoD revoking part or all of any defense contract it awards to the Company and an inability of the Company to recover amounts the Company has expended during the protest period in anticipation of initiating work under any such contract.

Under firm, fixed-price contracts with the U.S. government, the price paid to the Company is generally not subject to adjustment to reflect the Company’s actual costs, except costs incurred as a result of contract changes ordered by the government. The Company generally attempts to negotiate with the government the amount of increased compensation to which the Company is entitled for government-ordered changes that result in higher costs. If the Company is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement to provide such increased compensation, then the Company may file an appeal with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or the U.S. Claims Court. The Company has no such appeals pending. The Company seeks to mitigate risks with respect to fixed-price contracts by executing firm, fixed-price contracts with a substantial majority of its suppliers for the duration of the Company’s contracts.

The Company, as a U.S. government contractor, is subject to financial audits and other reviews by the U.S. government of performance of, and the accounting and general practices relating to, U.S. government contracts. Like most large government contractors, the Company is audited and reviewed by the government on a continual basis. Costs and prices under such contracts may be subject to adjustment based upon the results of such audits and reviews. Additionally, such audits and reviews can lead and have led to civil, criminal or administrative proceedings. Such proceedings could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company or one or more of its subsidiaries can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges based on the results of such proceedings. The Company believes that the outcome of all such audits reviews and proceedingsreviews that are now pending will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

-12-


Suppliers

 

The Company is dependent on its suppliers and subcontractors to meet commitments to its customers, and many components are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic and foreign companies. Components for the Company’s products are generally available from a number of suppliers, although the transition to a new supplier may require several months to conclude. The Company purchases chassis components, such as vehicle frames, engines, transmissions, radiators, axles, tires, drive motors, bearings and hydraulic components and vehicle body options, such as cranes, cargo bodies and trailers, from third-party suppliers. These body options may be manufactured specific to the Company’s requirements; however, most of the body options could be manufactured by other suppliers or the Company itself. Through reliance on this supply network for the purchase of certain components, the Company is able to reduce many of the preproduction and fixed costs associated with the manufacture of these components and vehicle body options. The Company purchases a large amount of fabrications and outsources certain manufacturing services, each generally from small companies located near its facilities. While providing low-cost services and product surge capability, such companies often require additional management attention during difficult economic conditions or contract start-up. The Company also purchases complete vehicle chassis from truck chassis suppliers in its commercial segment and, to a lesser extent, in its fire & emergency segment. Increasingly, the Company is sourcing components globally, which may involve additional inventory requirements and introduces additional foreign currency exposures. The Company maintains an extensive qualification, on-site inspection, assistance and performance measurement system to attempt to control risks associated with reliance on suppliers. The Company occasionally experiences problems with supplier and subcontractor performance and component, chassis and body availability and must identify alternate sources of supply and/or address related warranty claims from customers. During fiscal 2011, the Company experienced a number of parts shortages and cost increases at its access equipment segment as demand for certain components exceeded then current supplier capacity. In addition to manufacturing inefficiencies and material cost increases associated with inadequate supplier capacity, the Company’s sales were also limited by parts availability.

 

While the Company purchases many costly components such as chassis, engines, transmissions and axles, it manufactures certain proprietary components. These components include the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum, front drive and steer axles, transfer cases, cabs, the TAK-4 independent suspension system, the McNeilus Auto Reach arm, the Hercules compressed air foam system, the Command Zone vehicle control and diagnostic system technology, the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum, body structures and many smaller parts that add uniqueness and value to the Company’s products. The Company believes internal production of these components provides a significant competitive advantage and also serves to reduce the manufacturing costs of the Company’s products.

 The credit crisis and rapidly escalating steel, fuel and other raw material costs in fiscal 2008 created additional risks for the Company’s supplier base. A limited number of small suppliers have discontinued business due to tight credit conditions or the inability to either absorb cost increases or pass them on to their customers. In fiscal 2009, additional suppliers could face financial difficulties as a result of the global economic downturn. The Company is actively monitoring its suppliers’ financial conditions, but to date has no knowledge of significant concerns with the financial stability of any major suppliers.

Intellectual Property

 

Patents and licenses are important in the operation of the Company’s business, as one of management’s key objectives is developing proprietary components to provide the Company’s customers with advanced technological solutions at attractive prices. The Company holds in excess of 400500 active domestic and foreign patents. The Company believes patents for the TAK-4 independent suspension system, which have remaining lives of 12 years,expire between 2016 and 2029, provide the Company with a competitive advantage in the defense and fire & emergency segment.segments. In the defense segment, the TAK-4 independent suspension system was added to the U.S. Marine Corps’ MTVR and LVSR programs whichand is a key feature on the Company’s M-ATV and  L-ATV. The Company believes the TAK-4 independent suspension system provided a performance and cost advantage in the successful competition for the production contracts.contracts for these programs. The Company believes that patents for certain components of its ProPulse hybrid electric drive system, Command Zone electronics and TerraMax autonomous vehicle

systems offer potential competitive advantages to product lines across all its segments. To a lesser extent, other proprietary components provide the Company a competitive advantage in each of the Company’s segments.

 In fiscal 2002, the Company introduced the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum in the U.S.

The Company has purchased exclusive, renewable licenses for the rights to manufacture and market this technologythe Revolution composite concrete mixer drum in the Americas and Europe. These licenses require the Company to make royalty fee payments to its Australian partner for each Revolution drum sold. The Company believes that these licenses create an important competitive advantage over competitors that manufacture steel concrete mixer drums. The Revolution composite drum is substantially lighter than a comparable steel drum permitting greater payload capacity and is easier to clean, which together lower the cost of delivered concrete. The Company sells the Revolution composite drum at prices substantially higher than prices for steel drums.

As part of the Company’s 20-yearlong-term alliance with Caterpillar Inc., the Company acquired a non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to use certain Caterpillar intellectual property through 2025 in connection with the design and manufacture of Caterpillar’s current telehandler products. Additionally, Caterpillar assigned to JLG certain patents and patent applications relating to the Caterpillar-branded telehandler products.

 

The Company holds trademarks for “Oshkosh,” “TAK-4,” “ProPulse,” “JLG,” “SkyTrak,” “Lull,” “Toucan,” “Pierce,” “McNeilus,” “Revolution,” “Medtec,“MEDTEC,” “Jerr-Dan,” “CON-E-CO,” “London,” “BAI,” “Geesink,” “Norba,” “Kiggen,” “Frontline,” “SMIT” and “IMT” among others.

The Company’s three-year agreement with the Teamsters extends throughexpired in October 2011. The Company is currently in negotiations regarding a new agreement with the Teamsters. In addition, the majority of the Company’s approximately 1,400 employees located outside the U.S. are represented by separate works councils or unions. The Company believes its relationship with employees is satisfactory.

Seasonal Nature of Business

 

In the Company’s access equipment and commercial segments, business tends to be seasonal with an increase in sales occurring in the spring and summer months that constitute the traditional construction season.season in the northern hemisphere. In addition, sales are generally lower in the first fiscal quarter in all segments due to the relatively high number of holidays which reduce available shipping days.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

The Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, thatwhich may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. InformationInvestors should consider carefully information in this Form 10-K should be considered carefully by investors in light of the risk factors described below and the information set forth under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysisbelow.

Certain of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Certain Assumptions.”

We have a substantial amount of debt. Cyclical downturns in the markets in which we participate could negatively impact our cost of funding. Our current debt levels, including the associated financing costs and restrictive covenants, could limit our flexibility in managing our business. In particular, if we conclude that we are likely to fail to comply with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement, we would incur higher costs if we obtain an amendment or waiver of such covenants. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

        As a result of financing the JLG acquisition, we are highly leveraged. We had approximately $2.8 billion of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2008. Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide any assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit agreement in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs should the U.S. or global economies enter a steep or prolonged recession.

        In addition, our credit agreement contains financial and restrictive covenants. Our failure to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and debt service capability. These covenants may limit our ability to, among other things, borrow under our existing credit agreement to fund operations or take advantage of business opportunities. Over the last 18 months, we have experienced declines in several of our markets. Based on our current outlook, there are scenarios under which we could fall out of compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. Our failure to comply with such covenants, or our concluding that we are likely to fail to comply with such covenants, could also lead us to seek an amendment to or waiver of the financial covenants contained in our current credit agreement. Despite our present belief that we could obtain an amendment if necessary, under current credit market conditions, we cannot provide assurance that we would be able to obtain any amendments to or waivers of the covenants contained in our credit agreement that we may request, and any amendments to or waivers of the covenants would likely involve substantial upfront fees, significantly higher annual interest costs and other terms significantly less favorable to us than those currently in our credit agreement.

        We also previously entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of the variable rate interest payments under our current credit agreement. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was recorded as a liability with the offsetting charge recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. In the event that an amendment to our current credit agreement would be required, certain key terms of the credit agreement could change. Such a change could impair the effectiveness of the interest rate swap and cause any loss recorded in other comprehensive income to be reclassified, net of tax, to current earnings. At September 30, 2008, the value of the interest rate swap recorded in other comprehensive earnings was $27.3 million, net of tax.

        Our high level of debt, current conditions in the credit markets and the covenants contained in our credit agreement could have important consequences for our operations, including:

Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and detract from our ability to withstand successfully a downturn in our highly cyclical markets or economies generally;
Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to higher interest costs or higher required payments on debt, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, dividends and other general corporate activities;
Limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements;
Limit our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions that may become available in our markets or otherwise capitalize on business opportunities if we had additional borrowing capacity;
Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets we serve;
Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors; and
Make us vulnerable to increases in interest rates because a portion of our debt under our credit agreement is at variable rates.

-15-


We may be adversely affected by the current economic environment.

        As a result of the credit market crisis (including uncertainties with respect to financial institutions and the global capital markets), depressed equity markets across the globe and other macro-economic challenges currently affecting the economy of the U.S. and other parts of the world, customers or vendors may experience serious cash flow problems, and as a result, customers may seek to modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and vendors may seek to significantly and quickly increase their prices or reduce their output. If customers are not successful in generating sufficient revenue or are precluded from securing financing, they may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. Any inability of current and/or potential customers to pay us for our products will adversely affect our earnings and cash flow. If economic conditions in the U.S. and other key markets deteriorate further or do not show improvement, we may experience material adverse impacts to our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows. Additionally, if these economic conditions persist, our intangible assets at various businesses may become impaired.

Our markets are highly cyclical and athe current or any further decline in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.

 A

The high levels of sales in our defense business in recent years have been due in significant part to demand for defense trucks, replacement parts and services (including armoring) and truck remanufacturing arising from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Events such as these are unplanned, as is the demand for our products that arises out of such events. In addition, current economic conditions have put significant pressure on the U.S. federal budget, including the defense budget. Specifically, the President’s defense budget for fiscal 2011 and the budget request for fiscal 2012 include significantly lower funding for purchases of new military vehicles that we manufacture under our FHTV and FMTV contracts than in prior years. The fiscal 2012 defense budget request for FMTVs also was significantly less than we expected. In addition, the Budget Control Act of 2011 contains an automatic sequestration feature that would order cuts to the defense budget if Congress fails to enact the specified $1.2 trillion in U.S. federal deficit reductions to be recommended by the Joint Committee. As part of the budget process, the Defense Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee has proposed that the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program be terminated in favor of upgrades to the current Humvee fleet. Moreover, on October 21, 2011, the President announced that virtually all U.S. troops will be removed from Iraq by the end of 2011 and plans exist regarding a future drawdown of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan. The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq will likely significantly reduce the level of defense funding allocated to support U.S. military involvement in Iraq, and uncertainty exists as to the level of defense funding that will be allocated to support U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan. The magnitude of the adverse impact that federal budget pressures, including the President’s recent request to reduce defense spending by $450 billion or more between 2012 and 2023 and the potential impact of the Budget Control Act of 2011 on the defense budget, expected reductions in future defense funding for U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and an uncertain DoD tactical wheeled vehicle strategy, will have on funding for Oshkosh defense programs is uncertain, but directionally, we expect such funding to decline, and such decline could be significant. Furthermore, our defense business may fluctuate significantly from time to time as a result of the start and completion of new contract awards that we may receive, such as the M-ATV contract that we received in fiscal year 2009 and substantially completed in fiscal year 2010 and the FMTV contract that we received in fiscal year 2010 and are in the process of completing.

The decline, compared to historical levels, in overall customer demand in our cyclical access equipment, commercial and fire & emergency markets that we have experienced since the start of the global economic downturn and any further decline could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance. The access equipment market thatin which JLG operates in is highly cyclical and impacted by the strength of economies in general, by prevailing mortgage and other interest rates, by residential and non-residential construction spending, by the ability of rental companies to obtain third party financing to purchase revenue generating assets, by capital expenditures of rental companies in general and by other factors. The ready-mix concrete market that we serve is highly cyclical and impacted by the strength of the economy generally, by prevailing mortgage and other interest rates, by the number of housing starts and by other factors that may have an effect on the level of concrete placement activity, either regionally or nationally. Domestic and European refuseRefuse collection vehicle markets are also cyclical and impacted by the strength of economies in general, andby municipal tax receipts.receipts and by capital expenditures of large waste haulers. Fire & emergency markets are modestly cyclical later in an economic downturn and are impacted by the economy generally and by municipal tax receipts.receipts and capital expenditures. Concrete mixer and access equipment sales also are seasonal with the majority of such

The global economy is currently experiencing a downturn. Many believe the U.S. and European economies have entered recessions,continues to experience weakness, which havehas negatively impacted our sales volumes in these regions for our access equipment, commercial and to a lesser extent, our fire & emergency products. U.S. housing starts were again weakproducts as compared to historical levels. In addition, the global economic weakness has caused lending institutions to tighten their credit lending standards, which has restricted our customers’ access to capital. Continued weakness in fiscal 2008 and U.S. and European housing starts and non-residential construction spending has also weakened in certainmost geographical areas eachof the world are further contributing to the lower sales volumes. A further reductionlack of significant improvement in non-residential construction spending or continued low levels of construction activity generally may cause future weakness in demand for our products. In addition, customers of ours, such as municipalities,Municipal tax revenues in the U.S. have been reducing their expendituresweakened, which has negatively impacted demand for fire & emergency equipmentapparatus and refuse collection vehicles and delayed the recovery in anticipation of lower tax revenues. The towing and recovery equipmentthese markets. Furthermore, it is possible that emerging market is also beinggrowth could slow, which could negatively impacted by higher fuel costs, the U.S. economy and the tightening creditimpact our growth in those markets. We cannot provide any assurance that the global economic downturnweakness and tight credit markets will not continue or become more severe. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that any economic recovery will not progress more slowly than what we or the market expect. If the global economic downturn continuesweakness and tight credit markets continue or becomesbecome more severe, or if any economic recovery progresses more slowly than what we or the market expect, then there could be a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

 Additionally, the high levels of sales in our defense business in recent years have been due in significant part to demand for defense trucks, replacement parts and services and truck remanufacturing arising from the conflict in Iraq. Events such as this are unplanned, and we cannot predict how long this conflict will last or the demand for our products that will arise out of such an event. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurance that the increased defense business as a result of this conflict will continue. Furthermore, a new administration will be entering the White House in January 2009 and the recent bailout of U.S. financial institutions, insurance companies and others is expected to put significant pressure on the federal budget, including the defense budget. It is too early to tell what the impact of a change in administration and federal budget pressures will mean to funding for Oshkosh defense programs. As such, we cannot provide any assurance that funding for our defense programs will not be impacted by the change in administrations and federal budget pressures.

Raw material price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

        We purchase, directly and indirectly through component purchases, significant amounts of steel, petroleum based products and other raw materials annually. During fiscal 2008, steel and fuel prices increased significantly resulting in us paying higher prices for these items. Although steel and fuel prices have recently begun to decline, steel prices in particular but also fuel prices are not back to levels experienced prior to the run-up in price and there are indications that the costs of these items may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Although we have firm, fixed-price contracts for some steel requirements and have some firm pricing contracts for components, we may not be able to hold all of our steel and component suppliers to pre-negotiated prices or negotiate timely component cost decreases commensurate with any steel and fuel cost decreases. The ultimate duration and severity of the pricing issues for these items is not presently estimable. Without limitation, these conditions could impact us in the following ways:

-16-


In the access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial businesses, we have announced selling price increases to recover increased steel, component and fuel costs experienced in fiscal 2008. However, any such new product prices apply only to new orders, and we do not anticipate being able to recover all cost increases from customers due to the amount of orders in our backlog prior to the effective dates of new selling prices. In addition, some customers could react adversely to these price increases, and competitive conditions could limit price increases in some market sectors like access equipment. Alternatively, adherence to the price increases could affect sales volumes in some market sectors. Furthermore, steel, component and fuel costs may rise faster than expected, and our product selling price increases may not be sufficient to recover such increases.
In the defense business, we are generally limited in our ability to raise prices in response to rising steel, component and fuel costs as we largely do business under annual firm, fixed-price contracts with the DoD. We attempt to limit this risk by obtaining firm pricing from suppliers at the time a contract is awarded. However, if these suppliers, including steel suppliers, do not honor their contracts, then we could face margin pressure in our defense business.

If we are unable to successfully turn around the profitability of Geesink, then there could be material adverse effects on our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

        Geesink operated at a loss in fiscal 2007 due to soft market demand for its products in the United Kingdom, the lack of available chassis for mounting refuse collection vehicles in France and some market share losses. We have taken steps over the last two years to turn around the Geesink business, including selling an unprofitable facility in The Netherlands during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, rationalizing a facility in Sweden in order to consolidate Norba-branded production in The Netherlands, reducing its work force, installing new executive leadership, integrating operations with JLG, implementing lean manufacturing practices, introducing new products and outsourcing components to lower cost manufacturing sites. The turnaround of Geesink has taken longer than we anticipated. We incurred an operating loss at this business again in fiscal 2008 as we executed on a number of the turnaround initiatives described above and recorded pre-tax charges of $175.2 million related to the non-cash impairment of intangible assets of Geesink in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. While we expect improved results at Geesink in fiscal 2009, we expect to incur additional operating losses in fiscal 2009 as we continue to implement these turnaround activities. We may incur costs to continue to implement the turnaround beyond our current expectations for such costs. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that Geesink will be able to operate profitably after such activities have been completed. If we are unable to continue to turn around the business of Geesink, then there could be material adverse effects on our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

Our dependency on contracts with U.S. and foreign government agencies subjects us to a variety of risks that could materially reduce our revenues or profits.

 

We are dependent on U.S. and foreign government contracts for a substantial portion of our business. That business is subject to the following risks, among others, that could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance:

Our business is susceptible to changes in the U.S. defense budget, which may reduce revenues that we expect from our defense business.
The U.S. government may not appropriate funding that we expect for our U.S. government contracts, which may prevent us from realizing revenues under current contracts or receiving additional orders that we anticipate we will receive.
Most of our government contracts are fixed-price contracts, and our actual costs may exceed our projected costs, which could result in lower profits or net losses under these contracts.
We are required to spend significant sums on product development and testing, bid and proposal activities and pre-contract engineering, tooling and design activities in competitions to have the opportunity to be awarded these contracts.
Competitions for the award of defense truck contracts are intense, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in the defense truck procurement competitions in which we participate.
Certain of our government contracts could be suspended or terminated and all such contracts expire in the future and may not be replaced, which could reduce expected revenues from these contracts.
Our defense products undergo rigorous testing by the customer and are subject to highly technical requirements. Any failure to pass these tests or to comply with these requirements could result in unanticipated retrofit costs, delayed acceptance of trucks or late or no payments under such contracts.
Our government contracts are subject to audit, which could result in adjustments of our costs and prices under these contracts.

-17-


Our defense truck contracts are large in size and require significant personnel and production resources, and when such contracts end, we must make adjustments to personnel and production resources.
We periodically experience difficulties with sourcing sufficient vehicle carcasses to maintain our defense truck remanufacturing schedule, which can create uncertainty for this area of our business.

·Our business is susceptible to changes in the U.S. defense budget, which may reduce revenues that we expect from our defense business, especially in light of federal budget pressures in part caused by U.S. economic weakness, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, the uncertainty that exists regarding the future level of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan and the related level of defense funding that will be allocated to support this involvement, and the level of defense funding that will be allocated to the DoD’s tactical wheeled vehicle strategy generally.

·The U.S. government may not appropriate funding that we expect for our U.S. government contracts, which may prevent us from realizing revenues under current contracts or receiving additional orders that we anticipate we will receive.

·Certain of our government contracts for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines could be suspended, opened for competition or terminated, and all such contracts expire in the future and may not be replaced, which could reduce revenues that we expect under the contracts and negatively affect margins in our defense segment.

·The current U.S. Administration has indicated that it supports increased competition for existing defense programs. The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act also requires competition for defense programs in certain circumstances. Accordingly, it is possible that there will be competition for any M-ATV orders for units above the 10,000 unit ceiling in the initial contract award. Also, it is possible that the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines will conduct an open competition for programs for which we currently have contracts upon the expiration of the existing contracts. Our FHTV contract expired in September 2011, with expected vehicle deliveries to continue through March 2013. We are expanding international operations,in negotiations with the U.S. Army regarding our receipt of a bridge contract for the FHTV program under which we would continue producing FHTVs while the U.S. Army develops a path to conduct an open competition for the next contract relating to this program. The bridge contract could include the purchase of the design rights to our vehicles under this contract so that the U.S. Army could compete the program. The U.S. Army may decide to forgo the issuance of this bridge contract, which subjectsmay prevent us from realizing these revenues. Likewise, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have, in the past, inquired about purchasing the design rights to the
M-ATV and MTVR that we produce, respectively. Competition for these and other DoD programs we currently have could result in the U.S. government awarding future contracts to another manufacturer or the U.S. government awarding the contracts to us at lower prices and operating margins than we experience under the current contracts.

·Defense truck contract awards that we receive may be subject to protests by competing bidders, which protests, if successful, could result in the DoD revoking part or all of any defense truck contract it awards to us and our inability to recover amounts we have expended in anticipation of initiating production under any such contract.

·Most of our government contracts, including the FMTV contract, are fixed-price contracts with price escalation factors included for those contracts that extend beyond one year. Our actual costs on any of these contracts may exceed our projected costs, which could result in profits lower than historically realized or than we anticipate or net losses under these contracts. In addition, if the timing and size of orders received from the U.S. government differ significantly from the assumptions that we used to price the contract, we may incur unanticipated start-up costs or expend more capital to start up production under the contract, and we may not benefit as we expected from contractual price increases, which could also result in lower than anticipated margins or net losses under these contracts. In particular, we bid the FMTV program at very aggressive margins. We have received orders to date under this program significantly in excess of the quantities that bidders were asked to use to prepare their pricing for this program in the original request for proposal. While the timing and extent of FMTV orders have created opportunities to leverage higher orders to reduce our material costs, they have adversely impacted manufacturing start-up and capital costs under the contract and product pricing relative to what we had originally anticipated as we do not benefit from certain price escalation factors. In addition, the higher order rate for FMTVs caused us to risksdevote more attention to increasing our FMTV production capacity, which delayed our focus on reducing manufacturing costs as compared to our original plans. Collectively, these items have caused us to incur losses under the FMTV program to date, and we expect to continue to incur losses through the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Although we expect sales for the FMTV contract to be profitable starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, this expectation is based on certain assumptions, including estimates for future increases in the costs of raw materials, targeted cost savings and our ability to achieve certain production efficiencies. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of profitability. For example, a 1% escalation in material costs over our projection for FMTV orders currently in backlog would increase the cost of materials by approximately $24 million. Although we do not believe that may havesuch an increase would result in a loss on future sales under this contract, it would significantly reduce our expected future gross margins on orders currently in backlog. It is possible that other assumptions underlying the analysis could change in such a manner that we would determine in the future that this is a loss contract, which could result in a material charge to earnings.

·We are required to spend significant sums on product development and testing, bid and proposal activities and pre-contract engineering, tooling and design activities in competitions to have the opportunity to be awarded these contracts.

·Competitions for the award of defense truck contracts are intense, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in the defense truck procurement competitions in which we participate.

·Our defense products undergo rigorous testing by the customer and are subject to highly technical requirements. Any failure to pass these tests or to comply with these requirements could result in unanticipated retrofit costs, delayed acceptance of vehicles, late or no payments under such contracts or cancellation of the contract to provide vehicles to the government.

·Our government contracts are subject to audit, which could result in adjustments of our costs and prices under these contracts.

·Our defense truck contracts are large in size and require significant personnel and production resources, and when such contracts end, we must make adjustments to personnel and production resources.

·We have historically received payments in advance of product deliveries, or performance-based payments (“PBP”), on a number of our U.S. government contracts. In the event that we are not able to meet contractual delivery requirements on these contracts, the U.S. government may discontinue providing PBPs, which could have an adverse effect on our business.ability to repay debt and cause us to incur higher interest rates on our outstanding debt.

        Expanding international sales is·In the event of component availability constraints, the U.S. government has the ability to unilaterally divert the supply of components used on multiple government programs to those programs rated most urgent (DX-rated programs). Specifically, the U.S. government has notified us that the supply of tires used on a partnumber of our FHTV variants is constrained and tires that we currently have on order with our supplier to meet our FHTV production requirements will be diverted to other DX-rated programs. We expect that this issue could affect us through much of 2012 and will delay the timing of a portion of our expected FHTV sales into fiscal 2013. The delay in our FHTV production as a result of the tire shortage could result in incremental production costs and delays in the timing of PBPs that we expect to receive under the program, which would adversely affect our cash flows.

·We periodically experience difficulties with sourcing sufficient vehicle carcasses to maintain our defense truck remanufacturing schedule, which can create uncertainty and inefficiencies for this area of our business.

We may not be able to execute on our MOVE strategy and meet our long-term financial goals.

We have announced a roadmap, our MOVE strategy, to deliver long-term growth strategy. International operations and salesearnings for our shareholders and to meet our long-term financial goals. The long-term financial goals that we expect to achieve as a result of our MOVE strategy are based on certain assumptions we have made, which assumptions may prove to be incorrect.

An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and withholding taxes, governmental expropriationother indefinite-lived intangible assets could negatively affect our operating results.

We have a substantial amount of goodwill and differencespurchased intangible assets on our balance sheet as a result of acquisitions we have completed. At September 30, 2011, approximately 88% of these intangibles are concentrated in the access equipment segment. The carrying value of goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business practices.in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets represents the fair value of trademarks and trade names as of the acquisition date. We may incur increased costsdo not amortize goodwill and experience delaysindefinite-lived intangible assets that we expect to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows, but instead we evaluate these assets for impairment at least annually, or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international manufacturing and salesmore frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could cause lossresult in impairment. In testing for impairment, if the carrying value of revenuesa reporting unit exceeds its current fair value as determined based on the discounted future cash flows of the reporting unit and market comparable sales and earnings multiples, the goodwill or intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value via a non-cash charge to earnings. In addition, we are increasingly subject to export control regulations, including, without limitation,Events and conditions that could result in impairment include a prolonged period of global economic weakness and tight credit markets, further decline in economic conditions or a slow, weak economic recovery, as well as sustained declines in the United States Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Unfavorableprice of our common stock, adverse changes in the political, regulatory environment, adverse changes in interest rates, or other factors leading to reductions in the long-term sales or profitability that we expect. Determination of the fair value of a reporting unit includes developing estimates which are highly subjective and incorporate calculations that are sensitive to minor changes in underlying assumptions. Management’s assumptions change as more information becomes available. Changes in these assumptions could result in an impairment charge in the future, which could have a significant adverse impact on our reported earnings.

Our current debt levels, including the associated financing costs and restrictive covenants, could limit our flexibility in managing our business climateand increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our credit agreement contains financial and restrictive covenants which, among other things, require us to satisfy quarter-end financial ratios, including a leverage ratio, a senior secured leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Our ability to meet the financial ratios in such covenants may be affected by a number of risks or events, including the risks described in this Form 10-K and events beyond our control. The indenture governing our senior notes also contains restrictive covenants. Any failure by us to comply with these restrictive covenants or the financial and restrictive covenants in our credit agreement could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

We are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates and other risks associated with our non-U.S. operations that could adversely affect our results of operations and may significantly affect the comparabilitydebt service capability.

Our access to debt financing at competitive risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our results betweencredit ratings. Our current long-term debt ratings are BB with “stable” outlook from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Ba3 with “stable” outlook from Moody’s Investors Service. A downgrade to our credit ratings could increase our interest rates, could limit our access to public debt markets, could limit the institutions willing to provide us credit facilities, and could make any future credit facilities or credit facility amendments more costly and/or difficult to obtain.

We had approximately $1.1 billion of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011, which consisted primarily of a $560 million term loan under our credit agreement maturing in October 2015 and $500 million of senior notes, $250 million of which mature in March 2017 and $250 million of which mature in March 2020. Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, periods.

competitive, political and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We expect that we will experience modestly negative free cash flow in fiscal 2012 as we adjust working capital requirements in our defense and access equipment segments to new sales levels. As we discuss above, our dependency on contracts with U.S. and foreign government agencies, such as the FMTV contract, subjects us to a variety of risks that, if realized, could materially reduce our revenues, profits and cash flows. In addition, among other risks that we face that could affect our revenues, profits and cash flows, current continued weak economic conditions, declining U.S. defense budgets and tight credit markets could become more severe or prolonged. Accordingly, conditions could arise that could limit our ability to generate sufficient cash flows or access borrowings to enable us to fund our liquidity needs, further limit our financial flexibility or impair our ability to obtain alternative financing sufficient to repay our debt at maturity.

 For

The covenants in our credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes, our credit rating, our current debt levels and the current credit market conditions could have important consequences for our operations, including:

·Render us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions in our highly cyclical markets or economies generally;

·Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to higher interest costs or higher required payments on debt, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, stock repurchases, dividends and other general corporate activities;

·Limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund growth working capital, capital expenditures, new product development expenses and other general corporate requirements;

·Limit our ability to enter into additional foreign currency and interest rate derivative contracts;

·Make us vulnerable to increases in interest rates as a portion of our debt under our credit agreement is at variable rates;

·Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets we serve;

·Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors; and

·Limit our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions that may become available in our markets or otherwise capitalize on business opportunities if we had additional borrowing capacity.

Raw material price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

We purchase, directly and indirectly through component purchases, significant amounts of steel, petroleum based products and other raw materials annually. Steel, fuel and other commodity prices have historically been highly volatile. Commodity costs rose significantly early in our fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, approximately 30% of our net sales were attributable2011, and there are indications that these costs may increase further in the future due to products sold outsideone or more of the following: a sustained economic recovery, political unrest in certain countries or a weakening U.S., including approximately 17% that involved export sales from dollar.

Sales outside the U.S. are typically madeusually fixed, which we experienced in the local currenciesaccess equipment segment in the fourth quarter of those countries. Fluctuationsfiscal 2011. Furthermore, we largely do business in foreign currency canthe defense segment under annual firm, fixed-price contracts with the DoD. We attempt to limit the risk related to raw material price fluctuations in the defense segment by obtaining firm pricing from suppliers at the time a contract is awarded. However, if these suppliers do not honor their contracts, then we could face margin pressure in our defense business. If we are not able to recover commodity cost increases through price increases to our customers on new orders, then such increases will have an adverse impacteffect on our results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to negotiate timely component cost decreases commensurate with any decrease in commodity costs, our higher component prices could put us at a material disadvantage as compared to our competition.

We expect to incur costs and charges as a result of measures such as facilities and operations consolidations and workforce reductions that we expect will reduce costs, and those measures also may be disruptive to our business and may not result in anticipated cost savings.

We have been consolidating facilities and operations in an effort to make our business more efficient and expect to continue to review our overall manufacturing footprint. For example, we closed a facility and integrated our mobile medical business into our Clearwater, Florida operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and we moved manufacturing production of our Medtec ambulances to our Bradenton, Florida operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we announced workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures in our fire & emergency and commercial segments and the consolidation of an access equipment segment facility in Belgium into a Romanian facility, which was largely executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we closed our Oakes, North Dakota manufacturing plant and consolidated the work performed at that facility into other Oshkosh facilities. We have incurred, and expect in the future to incur, additional costs and restructuring charges in connection with such consolidations, workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures that have adversely affected and, to the extent incurred in the future would adversely affect, our future earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, such actions may be disruptive to our business, as we experienced with the facility consolidations into our Bradenton, Florida operations. This may result in production inefficiencies, product quality issues, late product deliveries or lost orders as we begin production at consolidated facilities, which would adversely impact our sales levels, operating results and profits as amounts that are measured in foreign currency are translated back to U.S. dollars.operating margins. In addition, we have salesmay not realize the cost savings that we expect to realize as a result of inventory denominated in U.S. dollars to certain of our subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The exchange rates between many of these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly in recent years and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Such fluctuations, in particular those with respect to the Euro, the U.K. pound sterling and the Australian dollar, may have a material effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. Any increase in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency will adversely affect our revenues from our foreign operations when translated into U.S. dollars. Similarly, any decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency of those countries where our products are sold will increase our development costs in our foreign operations, to the extent such costs are payable in foreign currency, when translated into U.S. dollars.actions.

We may experience losses in our access equipment segment in excess of our recorded reserves for doubtful accounts, finance and pledged finance receivables, notes receivable and guarantees of indebtedness of others.

 We have a portfolio

As of financeSeptember 30, 2011, we had consolidated gross receivables with customers in our access equipment segment andof $1.14 billion. In addition, we arewere a party to agreements in the access equipment segment whereby we guarantee thehave maximum exposure of $52.8 million under guarantees of customer indebtedness of customers in that segment.to third parties aggregating approximately $141.1 million. We evaluate the collectability of open accounts, finance and pledged finance receivables, notes receivable and our guarantees of indebtedness of others based on a combination of factors and establish reserves based on our estimates of potential losses. In circumstances where we believe it is probable that a specific customer will have difficulty meeting its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we expect to collect, and/or we recognize a liability for a guarantee we expect to pay, taking into account any amounts that we would anticipate realizing if we are forced to repossess the equipment that supports the customer’s financial obligations to us. We also establish additional reserves based upon our perception of the quality of the current receivables, the current financial position of our customers and past collections experience.

Systemic failures that the customer may identify could exceed recorded reserves or negatively affect our ability to win future business with the DoD or other foreign military customers.

As a result of the accelerated timetable from product design to full-scale production, the accelerated production schedule and limited field testing under the M-ATV contract and our ramp up to full-scale production of FMTVs, these vehicles could encounter systemic failures during fielding and use of the vehicles for which we may have responsibility. Additionally, we did not design the FMTV portfolio of trucks and trailers, and the design for this portfolio includes requirements that have caused us to implement manufacturing processes that we have not used extensively under previous contracts. If we do not implement these manufacturing processes correctly, then there could be systemic failures for which we may have responsibility. We have established reserves for the estimated cost of such systemic-type repairs based upon historical warranty rates of other defense programs in which we participate. If systemic issues arise, rectification costs could be in excess of the established reserves. If the DoD identifies systemic issues, this situation could impact our ability to win future business with the DoD or other foreign military customers, which would adversely affect our future earnings and cash flows.

A disruption or termination of the supply of parts, materials, components and final assemblies from third-party suppliers could delay sales of our vehicles and vehicle bodies.

 

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, significant disruption or termination of the supply of some of our parts, materials, components and final assemblies that we obtain from sole source suppliers or subcontractors orsubcontractors. We may also incur a significant increase in the cost of these parts, materials, components or final assemblies. This risk isThese risks are increased in the current difficulta weak economic environment andwith tight credit conditions.conditions and when demand increases coming out of an economic downturn. Specifically, we have recently experienced a number of parts shortages at our access equipment segment as demand for certain components currently exceeds suppliers’ capacity. Such disruptions, terminations or cost increases could result in manufacturing inefficiencies due to having to wait for parts to arrive on the production line, could delay sales of our vehicles and vehicle bodies and could result in a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

Our objective is to expand international operations, the conduct of which subjects us to risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Expanding international sales is a part of our growth strategy. Our outlookAn impairmentdepends in part upon increases in international orders and sales that may not materialize. International operations and sales are subject to various risks, including political, religious and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the carrying valueimposition of goodwillforeign tariffs and other indefinite-lived intangible assetstrade barriers, the impact of foreign government regulations and the effects of income and withholding taxes, governmental expropriation and differences in business practices. We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international manufacturing and sales that could negatively affectcause loss of revenues and earnings. In addition, expansion into foreign markets requires the establishment of distribution networks and may require modification of products to meet local requirements or preferences. Establishment of distribution networks or modification to the design of our operating results.

        Weproducts to meet local requirements and preferences may take longer or be more costly than we anticipate and could have a substantial amount of goodwill and purchased intangible assetsmaterial adverse effect on our balance sheet asability to achieve international sales growth. In addition, our entry into certain markets that we wish to enter may require us to establish a joint venture. Identifying an appropriate joint venture partner and creating a joint venture could be more time consuming, more costly and more difficult than we anticipate.

The carrying valueare subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of goodwill representspayments to foreign governments and their officials for the fair valuepurpose of an acquired businessobtaining or retaining business.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets expected to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows are not amortized, but must be evaluated for impairment at least annually. If carrying value exceeds current fair value as determined based on the discounted future cash flows of the related business, the goodwill or intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value via a non-cash charge to earnings. Events and conditions thatFCPA could result in impairment includesignificant fines, criminal sanctions against us or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business, including our business with the U.S. government. We are also increasingly subject to export control regulations, including, without limitation, the United States Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Unfavorable changes in the industries in which we operate, particularly the impact of the current downturn in the global economy, as well as competitionpolitical, regulatory and advances in technology, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, or other factors leading to reduction in expected long-term sales or profitability. If the value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets is impaired, our earningsbusiness climate could be adversely affected.

        Goodwill impairment analysis and measurement is a process that requires significant judgment. A decline in our stock price and resulting market capitalization, such as the decline which occurred during fiscal 2008, could result in impairment ofhave a material amount of our $2.3 billion goodwill balance if we determine that the decline is prolonged and has reduced the fair value of any of our reporting units below its carrying value. We cannot be certain that a future downturn in our business, changes in market conditions or a longer-term decline in the quoted market price of our stock will not result in an impairment of goodwill and the recognition of resulting expenses in future periods, which could adversely affect our results of operations for those periods.

        In February 2006, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (“DRA”) was signed into law. The DRA imposes caps on Medicare payment rates for certain imaging services, including MRI, PET and CT, furnished in physician’s offices and other non-hospital based settings. Under the caps, payments for specified imaging services cannot exceed the hospital outpatient payment rates for those services. The implementation of this law has had a significantadverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of OSV’s mobile medical customers in the U.S. During fiscal 2008, OSV incurred an operating loss as a result of the slowdown in mobile medical sales and a writers strike during the first half of the year, which affected broadcast vehicles sales. In light of the slowdown in business, we are expanding other markets in which OSV participates and are consolidating production in existing facilities. If we are unable to turn around the business, we may be required to record an impairment charge for OSV’s goodwill, and there could be other material adverse effects on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

We are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates associated with our non-U.S. operations that could adversely affect our results of operations and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, approximately 17% of our net sales were attributable to products sold outside of the United States, including approximately 14% that involved export sales from the United States. The majority of export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Sales outside the United States are typically made in the local currencies of those countries. Fluctuations in foreign currency can have an adverse impact on our sales and profits as amounts that are measured in foreign currency are translated back to U.S. dollars. We have sales of inventory denominated in U.S. dollars to certain of our subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The exchange rates between many of these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly in recent years and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Such fluctuations, in particular those with respect to the Euro, the Chinese Renminbi, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar, may have a material effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. Any appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency will adversely affect our revenues from our foreign operations when translated into U.S. dollars. Similarly, any appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency of those countries where our products are sold will increase our costs in our foreign operations, to the extent such costs are payable in foreign currency, when translated into U.S. dollars.

Changes in regulations could adversely affect our business.

 

Both our products and the operation of our manufacturing facilities are subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. These include environmental requirements applicable to manufacturing and vehicle emissions, government contracting regulations and domestic and international trade regulations. A significant change to these regulatory requirements could substantially increase manufacturing costs or impact the size or timing of demand for our products, all of which could make our business results more variable.

We

In particular, climate change is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which has led to significant legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Congress has previously considered and may in the future implement restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions through a cap-and-trade system under which emitters would be required to buy allowances to offset emissions of greenhouse gas. In addition, several states, including states where we have manufacturing plants, are considering various greenhouse gas registration and reduction programs. Our manufacturing plants use energy, including electricity and natural gas, and certain of our plants emit amounts of greenhouse gas that may be affected by these legislative and regulatory efforts. Greenhouse gas regulation could increase the defendantprice of the electricity we purchase, increase costs for our use of natural gas, potentially restrict access to or the use of natural gas, require us to purchase allowances to offset our own emissions or result in several class action lawsuits.

an overall increase in our costs of raw materials, any one of which could increase our costs, reduce our competitiveness in a global economy or otherwise negatively affect our business, operations or financial results. While additional regulation of emissions in the future appears likely, it is too early to predict how this regulation will ultimately affect our business, operations or financial results.

 On and after September 19, 2008, several shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against us and

The defense of the lawsuits could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention away from business operations and negative developments with respect to these products is influenced by our ability to establish and manage new and existing relationships with dealers. While we have relatively low turnover of dealers, from time to time, we or a dealer may choose to terminate the lawsuitsrelationship as a result of difficulties that our independent dealers experience in operating their businesses due to economic conditions or other factors, or as a result of an alleged failure by us or an independent dealer to comply with the terms of our dealer agreement. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single dealer, the loss of which would have a sustained material adverse effect upon our business. However, disruption of dealer coverage within a specific state or other geographic market could cause a declinedifficulties in the pricemarketing, selling or servicing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

We recently received a notice from certain funds affiliated with Carl Icahn that discloses their intent to continue to compete successfully.

        We operate in highly competitive industries. Several of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and distribution resources than us and we are facing competitive pricing from new entrants in certain markets.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is subject to environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, shareholder, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Securities Class Action — On September 19, 2008, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint seeking certification of a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin docketed as Iron Workers Local No. 25 Pension Fund on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated v. Oshkosh Corporation and Robert G. Bohn. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially inadequate disclosures and material omissions leading to the Company’s issuance of revised earnings guidance and announcement of an impairment charge on June 26, 2008. Since the initial lawsuit, other suits containing substantially similar allegations were filed (all suits hereafter referred to as the “Actions”). The Company believes the Actions to be entirely without merit and plans to vigorously defend against the Actions.

Environmental Mattersmatters. As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles or reclaims certain industrial waste materials, chemicals, and solvents at third-party disposal and recycling facilities, which are licensed by appropriate governmental agencies. In some instances, these facilities have been and may be designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency for remediation. Under the

Table of Contents

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state laws, each potentially responsible party (“PRP”) that contributed hazardous substances may be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with cleaning up these sites. Typically, PRPs negotiate a resolution with the EPA and/or the state environmental agencies. PRPs also negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup cost. The Company has been named a PRP with regard to three multiple-party sites. Based on current estimates, the Company believes its liability at these sites will not be material and any responsibility of the Company is adequately covered through established reserves.

 The Company is addressing a regional trichloroethylene (“TCE”) groundwater plume on the south side of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Company believes there may be multiple sources of TCE in the area. TCE was detected at the Company’s North Plant facility with testing showing the highest concentrations in a monitoring well located on the upgradient property line. Because the investigation process is still ongoing, it is not possible for the Company to estimate its long-term total liability associated with this issue at this time. Also, as part of the regional TCE groundwater investigation, the Company conducted a groundwater investigation of a former landfill located on Company property. The landfill, acquired by the Company in 1972, is approximately 2.0 acres in size and is believed to have been used for the disposal of household waste. Based on the investigation, the Company does not believe the landfill is one of the sources of the TCE contamination. Based upon current knowledge, the Company believes its liability associated with the TCE issue will not be material and is adequately covered through reserves established by the Company. However, this may change as investigations proceed by the Company, other unrelated property owners and the government.

The Company had reserves of $3.9$2.1 million for environmental matters at September 30, 20082011 for losses that arewere probable and estimable. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materiallymaterial adverse effect on itsthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.cash flows.

Personal injury actions and other. Personal Injury Actions and Other –At September 20, 2008,30, 2011, the Company had product and general liability reserves of $47.3$41.7 million. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims, after taking into account the liabilities accrued with respect to all such matters and claims, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

 Since all of these matters are

On January 8, 2010, Control Solutions LLC (“Control Solutions”) brought suit against the Company in the preliminary stages,United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for breach of express contract, breach of implied-in-fact contract, unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel related to the Company’s contract to supply the DoD with M-ATVs. Control Solutions has asserted damages in the amount of $190.3 million. On October 3, 2011, following written and oral discovery, the Company moved for summary judgment. On that same date, Control Solutions filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. The Company’s and Control Solutions’ response briefs have been filed with the Court. While this case is unable to predictin the scope orearly stages of litigation and its outcome or quantify their eventual impact, if any,cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this claim will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. At this time,Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the Company is also unable to estimate associated expenses or possible losses.

(2)In May 2005, a sufficient number of shareholders of unlisted Class A Common Stock converted their shares to New York Stock Exchange – listed Common Stock, on a share-for-share basis, which resulted in the remaining Class A shares automatically converting into shares of Common Stock on the same basis. As a result of this conversion to a single class of stock, shares of Common Stock that previously had limited voting rights now carry full voting rights.

(3)On December 6, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of JLG for $3.1 billion in cash. Amounts include acquisition costs and are net of cash acquired. Fiscal 2007 results included sales of $2.5 billion and operating income of $268.4 million related to JLG following its acquisition.

(4)In fiscal 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards. Had SFAS No. 123(R) been in effect for the earliest period presented, results would have been as follows for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively: operating income — $263.7 million and $177.2 million; net income — $156.7 million and $109.6 million; net income per share assuming dilution — $2.13 and $1.52.

(5)In fiscal 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded cumulative life-to-date adjustments to increase the overall margin percentage on the MTVR base contract by 2.5 and 2.1 percentage points, respectively, as a result of contract modifications and favorable cost performance compared to previous estimates. These changes in estimates, recorded as cumulative life-to-date adjustments, increased operating income, net income and net income per share by $24.7 million, $15.1 million and $0.21 in fiscal 2005 and $19.5 million, $12.3 million and $0.17 in fiscal 2004, respectively, including $23.1 million, $14.2 million and $0.20 in fiscal 2005 and $16.2 million, $10.2 million and $0.14 in fiscal 2004, respectively, relating to prior year revenues.

Dispositions

In fiscal 2009, the Company conducted a conference call in connection with its announcement of its earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and its outlook for fiscal 2009.

Recent Acquisitions

        Since 1996, the Company has selectively pursued strategic acquisitions to enhance its product offerings and diversify its business. The Company has focused its acquisition strategy on providing a full range of products to customers in specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets that are growing and where it can develop strong market positions and achieve acquisition synergies. Acquisitions completed during the past three fiscal years include:

        During fiscal 2007, the Company acquired JLG for $3.1 billion, including transaction costs and the assumption of debt and net of cash acquired. JLG is a leading global manufacturer of access equipment based on gross revenues. The results of JLG’s operations are included in the consolidated results of the Company from the date of acquisition.

-28-


        During fiscal 2006, the Company completed two acquisitions: IMT and OSV. In August 2006, the Company acquired IMT for $133.0 million. IMT is a leading North American manufacturer of field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes for niche markets. In July 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of OSV for $142.0 million. OSV is a leading manufacturer of mobile medical, homeland security command and communications, and broadcast vehicles with sales throughout the Americas and Europe.

Executive Overview

        During fiscal 2008, the Company experienced sharp year-over-year swings in demand, commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates that led to sharply higher sales, operating income and earnings per share in the first half of the fiscal year followed by sharp declines in operating income and earnings per share in the second half of the fiscal year. Early in the fiscal year, the Company enjoyed robust demand in Europe and other global markets at its higher-margin access equipment segment. For example, access equipment sales doubled in Europe, Africa and the Middle East in the second fiscal quarter. A weak U.S. dollar further enhanced segment margins in the first half of fiscal 2008. The strength in international access equipment more than offset weakness in other parts of the Company’s business that were facing weak demand in the U.S. At that time, most economists believed that Europe and the rest of the world could escape the U.S. economic downturn. Defense segment sales were also strong in the first half of the fiscal year and remained strong throughout the year.

        Beginning in the third fiscal quarter, conditions began to progressively deteriorate. First, steel and fuel costs began to escalate globally, which led to component cost escalation. Then in June 2008, access equipment orders fell sharply in Western Europe and the Company experienced unexpected order cancelations in that region as the weak U.S. economy spread to parts of Western Europe. A competitor reported experiencing a similar sudden slowdown in June 2008. These items, along with slower realization of the benefits of a facility rationalization plan, led the Company to change its view about its ability to turn around the profitability of Geesink,sold its European refuse collection vehicle business, Geesink, to a third party for nominal cash consideration. In spite of aggressive actions during the previous three fiscal years to restructure this business and return it to profitability, the business continued to incur operating losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2009. The Company believed that its performance could be enhanced by redeploying its resources from Geesink to support the Company’s other businesses. The Company has reflected the financial results of Geesink as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company recorded a $33.8 million non-cash, pre-tax gain on the sale.

In October 2009, the Company completed the sale of its 75% interest in BAI, the Company’s European fire apparatus and equipment business, to BAI’s management team for nominal cash consideration. BAI, which was included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment, had sales of $42.2 million in fiscal 2009. The Company recorded a small loss on the sale of BAI in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has reflected the financial results of BAI as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reorganized Geesink’s European parent holding company and claimed a worthless stock and bad debt deduction, which resulted in a $71.5 million tax benefit, of which $61.0 million related to Geesink and BAI and was therefore included in discontinued operations.

Executive Overview

As expected, fiscal 2011 sales and operating income decreased following a year of record sales and profitability in fiscal 2010 when the Company delivered 7,539 urgently needed, life-saving M-ATVs to the extentDoD. While M-ATV sales, including related parts & services sales, decreased $3.24 billion from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011, an increase in access equipment sales to external customers and the start-up of FMTV production during fiscal 2011 offset some of the M-ATV sales decrease. As a result, consolidated net sales decreased $2.26 billion, or 22.9%, to $7.58 billion compared to fiscal 2010. Although the increase in sales to external customers in the timeframe orginally anticipated because near term demand was likely to decline from previous expectations due to weakening economies and its contract manufacturing income from fabrications for JLG was likely to fall as access equipment demandsegment and the ramp-up of FMTV production in Europe was declining. These events ledthe defense segment offset some of the decrease in M-ATV sales, the incremental access equipment sales were at lower margins than M-ATV sales. In addition, the Company incurred $43.0 million of start-up costs on the ramp-up of the FMTV contract which drove costs to pre-announceexceed revenues by $44.4 million on this program during fiscal 2011. As a third fiscal quarter earnings shortfallresult of the lower M-ATV sales, lower margins on June 26, 2008 due primarily to weaker than expectedthe incremental access equipment sales and pre-tax charges totaling $175.2cost challenges on the FMTV program, operating income in fiscal 2011 decreased $893.2 million, relatedor 64.1%, from fiscal 2010, to $500.9 million.

In August 2009, the DoD awarded the Company the contract to be the sole producer of FMTVs under the U.S. Army’s FMTV Rebuy program. This was an important contract for the Company to win due to high unfulfilled requirements of the DoD’s authorized acquisition objective (or maximum acquisition quantity) under the FMTV program, while the Company’s FHTV program was nearing fulfillment of its authorized acquisition objective. After a lengthy protest, the DoD ordered trucks in the first contract year at a level approximately three times higher than the likely amount communicated by the DoD in the request for proposal due to favorable pricing on the program and prior to a scheduled contractual price increase. As a result, when the Company initiated production, the Company incurred higher than planned costs to hire and train more than 500 additional employees than anticipated and was required to purchase additional equipment and tooling, as well as deliver vehicles at lower pricing than expected. The Company also experienced issues associated with building to the impairmentDoD’s technical data package, which did not accurately reflect the current configuration of intangible assets at Geesink. In the fourthtrucks and trailers, and complying with new requirements in the contract, among other issues. The Company began delivering vehicles under this contract in the first quarter of fiscal quarter,2011. While the Company began to experienceworked through these issues, it incurred unplanned start-up costs of $43.0 million in fiscal 2011 and reported a total loss on the bruntcontract for the year of the commodity cost escalation. Also, in the fourth quarter, access equipment demand softened further in Europe and domestically as the economic downturn intensified and the U.S. dollar began to strengthen, which together with the cost escalation, adversely impacted JLG operating results compared to both earlier in the fiscal year and to the prior year. Significant market share gains in the Company’s domestic fire apparatus and domestic refuse collection vehicle businesses mitigated the earnings shortfall in the second half of fiscal 2008.

        In October 2008, the financial crisis intensified, and the economic downturn experienced in the U.S. and Western Europe had spread to the rest of Europe and Asia. As the$44.4 million. The Company enters fiscal 2009, it expects to continue to face difficult conditions.incur costs in excess of revenues on the FMTV contract through the first quarter of fiscal 2012, although at amounts lower than in fiscal 2011, but expects its FMTV sales beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to be profitable. The Company has eleven integrated project teams working to improve its performance on this contract. This is a top priority for management and is increasingly important as FMTV sales rise as a percentage of total defense sales in fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

The Company expects that FMTV program revenues for production beyond September 30, 2011 on orders received to-date will exceed expected costs and, therefore, has not recorded a charge for a loss contract. In lightevaluating the profitability under the FMTV contract, it is necessary to estimate future material and production costs. Management cost assumptions include estimates for future increases in the costs of materials, reductions in ramp-up costs, targeted cost savings and production efficiencies. There are inherent uncertainties related to these conditions,estimates. Small changes in estimates can have a significant impact on profitability under the contract. For example, a 1% escalation in material costs over the Company’s projection for FMTV orders currently in backlog would increase the cost of materials by approximately $24 million. Although this amount is less than the expected future profitability, it would significantly reduce the expected future gross margins on orders currently in backlog. It is possible that other assumptions underlying the analysis could change in such a manner that the Company has been preparingwould determine in the future that this is a loss contract, which could result in a material charge to withstand weakerearnings.

In fiscal 2011, the Company completed a comprehensive strategic planning process to, among other things, assess the outlook for each of its markets, while continuingconsider strategic alternatives and develop strategic initiatives to address the current difficult market forces then facing the Company. Those difficult market forces involved non-defense markets which were down 40% to more than 90% from peak, an uncertain economic recovery and a likely sharp downturn in U.S. defense spending beginning as early as 2013. The study culminated in the creation of the Company’s planned roadmap to deliver superior long-term earnings growth and increased shareholder value over the next business cycle and beyond. The Company’s roadmap, named MOVE, requires aggressive cost reduction and prudent organic growth initiatives until a market recovery provides an opportunity for significant earnings leverage, estimated at levels approaching $500 million of operating income to return to prior peak earnings, in its non-defense markets. The MOVE strategy consists of four key strategic initiatives:

·Market recovery and growth — The Company believes that many of its non-defense markets will begin to recover after fiscal 2012. The Company plans to capture or improve its historic share of a market recovery.

·Optimize cost and capital structure — The Company plans to optimize its cost and capital structure to provide value for customers and shareholders by aggressively attacking its product, process and operating costs. The expected savings and process improvement achieved are expected to enable the Company to further reduce its debt.

·Value innovation — The Company plans to further strengthen its multi-generational product plans, which incorporate its newest technologies and drive the Company’s ability to benefit its customers and the Company’s performance.

·Emerging market expansion — The Company plans to drive international growth in targeted geographies where it believes that there are significant opportunities for growth.

The Company is in the early stages of implementing the required initiatives to capitalize onsupport this new roadmap and expects that the next economic upturn. In June 2008,roadmap will benefit the Company and its shareholders in the years to come.

The Company believes fiscal 2012 will continue to be a transitional period for the Company as costs escalated and demand fella result of the difficult market forces described above. Specifically, the Company expects a continued rebound in sales to external customers in the access equipment particularly in Western Europe,segment, which the Company beganbelieves will be more than offset by a significant sales mix shift in the defense segment toward an increased percentage of low-margin FMTV sales as well as lower sales of higher margin M-ATVs and FHTVs. As a result, the Company expects that operating income and net income will be significantly lower in fiscal 2012 as compared to reviewfiscal 2011.

In mid-July 2011, the Company was informed by the DoD and reduce its cost structuretire supplier that recent orders for military vehicles, including orders received by the Company for M-ATV Underbody Improvement Kits, may cause a constraint in the supply of a certain size and reducespecification of tire. The Company uses these same tires on many of its heavy tactical vehicles. Since that time, insufficient supplier capacity to accommodate this spike in demand has caused the DoD to use its sovereign authority to direct tires currently scheduled for delivery to the Company for FHTV production to match lower demand.be re-routed for use on contracts with the “DX” designation. The “DX” designation process is essentially a process that enables the DoD to prioritize use of materials for national defense purposes. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008,2011, the Company reducedbegan engaging in regular discussions with the DoD and the tire supplier. The Company now expects that the tire shortage will negatively impact the timing of its workforceproduction and delivery schedule through much of fiscal 2012 and will negatively impact the timing of its FHTV sales. The Company continues to assess the matter and is working to minimize any impact this situation may have on its operations and its results. Based on the most recent information received from the tire supplier and the DoD, the Company has removed approximately $225 million of sales from its fiscal 2012 expectations communicated in its Form 10-Q filed for its third quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenue on these units is expected to move to fiscal 2013. The Company expects it would be reimbursed by the DoD for any additional costs that it incurs due to the re-direction of these specialty tires.

The Company expects that sales in its defense segment in fiscal 2012 will decline by approximately 10% and reduced discretionary spending in a manner the Company believes will yield more than $100 million in annual cost savings beginning in15% compared to fiscal 2009.2011. The Company also movedexpects to increase its low cost country sourcingexperience a significant shift in sales mix with FMTV sales comprising approximately 40% of materials. Production rate declines permittedsegment sales in fiscal 2012 compared to approximately 13% in fiscal 2011. In addition, the Company expects lower aftermarket sales in fiscal 2012 as a significant amount of M-ATV related parts sales occurred in fiscal 2011. The Company expects that operating income margins in the defense segment in fiscal 2012 will be below 5% due in large part to reduce inventories by $241 millionthe significant change in sales mix between and debt by $202 millionwithin the Company’s different defense programs. The Company does not expect the FMTV program to be profitable until the second quarter of fiscal 2012, but it does expect that full year FMTV margins will be slightly above breakeven due to the reduction of start-up costs, the in-sourcing of work and the implementation of material cost reductions.

The Company believes that the access equipment segment will experience sales growth of approximately 20% in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 largely as a result of higher replacement demand in North America and in parts of Europe and continued growth in emerging markets. The Company believes that operating income margins in the access equipment segment will be in the mid to upper single digit range as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2012 depending on the speed with which the Company executes its cost reduction initiatives. The higher material costs experienced in this segment in the fourth quarter. In October and early November 2008,quarter of fiscal 2011 are expected to continue to impact the segment in fiscal 2012, but the Company developed plansexpects recently announced price increases to further reduce its workforce by approximately 4% and began to work with suppliers to roll back someoffset much of the increased material costs beginning in the second fiscal 2008 cost increases now that steel and fuel costs have declined somewhat. quarter.

The Company hasbelieves that fire & emergency segment sales in fiscal 2012 will be flat compared to fiscal 2011 driven by continued its strong focus on working capital reduction.weak municipal spending. The Company expects that fire & emergency segment operating income margins will improve compared to reduce its debt by $200 — $250 millionfiscal 2011 to the low single digit range as it expects benefits from previously announced restructuring actions and reduced restructuring related costs.

The Company believes that sales in its first quarter of fiscal 2009 and has targeted $500 million or more of aggregate debt reductionthe commercial segment will be slightly higher in fiscal 2009.2012 compared to fiscal 2011. The Company expects to continue these actionsdomestic concrete mixer sales will remain weak as necessarya result of continued weakness in fiscal 2009 to respond to global changes in demand.

        In fiscal 2009, thehousing starts and other construction activity. The Company expects higher defense sales, due to recent high defense budgets and supplemental bills, and higher fire apparatus and domesticestimates that refuse collection vehicle sales in fiscal 2012 will be slightly higher compared with fiscal 2011, but that sales in fiscal 2012 will be concentrated early in the fiscal year as customers purchase vehicles prior to the end of calendar 2011, when a U.S. bonus depreciation tax deduction is scheduled to expire. The Company expects that operating income margins in the commercial segment in fiscal 2012 will be approximately flat with fiscal 2011.

The Company expects that corporate expenses will be flat to slightly higher in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011, in part to support new business initiatives to sustain long-term growth. The Company expects modestly lower interest expense in fiscal 2012 due to market share gains, to provide a foundation for the Company’s financial performance in fiscal 2009. The Company further believes that, with its leading market positions, recent FHTV contract award, strong innovation and aftermarket support and projected cash generation, the Company will be favorably positioned to capitalize on the next economic upturn in the U.S. and globally.

        As discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s markets are highly cyclicallower debt levels and the Company has experienced declinesexpiration of an interest rate swap agreement in several of its markets over the last 18 months. Based on the Company’s current outlook, there are scenarios under which the Company could fall out of compliance with the financial covenants contained in its credit agreement. However, the Company is proceeding with a plan with the objective of avoiding the need to amend the credit agreement by maintaining compliance with its financial covenants or at least delay seeking an amendment to mitigate any financial impact. The plan involves targeting $500 million or more of debt reduction in fiscal 2009 and maintaining strong fiscal management. If the Company is not successful in delivering the higher end of its earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and timely debt reduction of $500 million or more, then the Company will need to request an amendment to its credit agreement. In the event that the Company would need to amend its credit agreement, the Company would likely incur substantial up front fees and significantly higher interest costs than reflected in the Company’s earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and other terms in the amendment would likely be significantly less favorable than those in the Company’s current credit agreement.December 2011. The Company believes based on discussions withthat its lead banks, that an amendment could be obtained if ultimately necessary, but no assurance can be given that thisfiscal 2012 effective income tax rate will remain the case at such time that the Company may request such an amendment. approximate 33% to 35%.

The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to operate its business.

        Details of the Company’s financial performancewill experience modestly negative free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 and its expectations for its financial performance in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 follow:

Earnings per share assuming dilution(70.4)%55.7% - 93.4%
(1) Company estimates as of November 3, 2008.

        Consolidated net sales were $7.1 billion in fiscal 2008, an increase of 13.2% over fiscal 2007.2012. The inclusion of JLG inCompany expects that the results for the entire fiscal year in 2008 as compared to only ten months in fiscal 2007, strong access equipment sales in Europe, significantly higher defense sales and favorable foreign currency exchange rates drove the increase in consolidated net sales.

        While revenue grew during fiscal 2008, operating income declined $184.0 million, or 31.2%, from the prior year to $406.3 million and earnings per share fell to $1.06, or 70.4%, from fiscal 2007. The lower operating results in fiscal 2008 werecash usage will be largely driven by lower earnings, lower performance-based payments from the $175.2 million pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges the Company recorded during the third quarter for the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets at Geesink. Lower operating performance for certain operating units, including Geesink, within the commercial and fire & emergency segmentsU.S. government as a result of lower sales combined with higher corporate costs also contributed to the significantly lower earnings during fiscal 2008.

        Access equipment experienced solid sales growth outside of North America through the third fiscal quarter, until economiesan expected continued decline in Western Europe began to slow, causing a sharp and sudden slowdown in order activity in certain Western European markets in June 2008. Access equipment sales increased 21.5% in fiscal 2008 primarily driven by the inclusion of JLG’s results for the entire twelve month period in fiscal 2008 versus only ten months of ownership in the prior year period and higher international demand, partially offset by lower demand in the U.S. Access equipment segment operating income was $360.1 million, or 11.7% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $268.4 million, or 10.6% of sales, in fiscal 2007. Operating income margins in fiscal 2008 benefited from favorable foreign currency exchange rates and a favorable product and customer mix.

        Since the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Company’s defense segment has benefited substantially from increasing DoD requirements for new trucks, parts, service, armoring and remanufacturing of the Company’s defense vehicles operated in Iraq. During fiscal 2008, the Company’s defense segment increased production of new and remanufactured trucks to meet the requirements of its largest customer, the DoD, in its mission to successfully complete Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a result, defense segment sales, rose 33.6% in fiscal 2008, whilehigher working capital requirements as sales of new and remanufactured trucks increased over 30% and parts and service sales increased nearly 40% in fiscal 2008 as compared to the prior year. Dueexternal customers continue to a higher mix of lower-margin truck sales, lower negotiated margins on the FHTV contract and inefficiencies on the start-up of a contract, operating margin declined from 17.3% of sales in the prior year to 14.0% of sales in fiscal 2008. As a result, operating income for the defense segment only increased 8.2% for fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year.

        The Company’s fire & emergency segment experienced sales growth of 4.4% in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007, but operating income declined 12.6%. The increase in sales reflected higher domestic fire apparatus sales as a result of continued market share gains and higher airport products sales due to international sales growth, offset in part by weaker demand for towing equipment as well as mobile medical trailers and broadcast vehicles. The decrease in operating income for fiscal 2008 was the result of softness in the towing equipment markets as well an operating loss at OSV, the Company’s domestic mobile medical trailer and broadcast vehicle business.

        Sales in the Company’s commercial segment decreased 16.9% in fiscal 2008. The decrease in sales was largely attributable to recessionary declines in concrete placement product sales as a result of lower U.S. residential construction and lower demand subsequent to the pre-buy ahead of the January 2007 diesel engine emissions standards changes in the U.S. Sales at the Company’s European refuse collection vehicle business were up 27.7% in fiscal 2008 as compared to the prior year due largely to stronger demand in The Netherlands and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.

        The Company’s commercial segment incurred an operating loss of $204.0 million in fiscal 2008 compared to operating income of $57.7 million in the prior year. The operating loss was related to losses at Geesink and a decrease in domestic concrete placement product sales. Geesink sustained an operating loss of $212.3 million in fiscal 2008 compared with an operating loss of $19.3 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in the operating loss was primarily due to non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets of $175.2 million, costs associated with the rationalization of manufacturing facilities, inefficiencies associated with the relocation and start-up of production of Norba-branded products in The Netherlands and increased material and warranty costs. In June 2008, it became evident that synergies related to Geesink’s facility rationalization program would be lower than expected and costs to execute the rationalization would be higher than anticipated. The resulting slower than expected and more difficult return to profitability of Geesink’s business, further escalation of raw material costs and a reduction in fabrication volume for the Company’s access equipment segment at Geesink’s Romania facility due to a slowdown in the European access equipment market led to the Company’s conclusion that the charges for impairment were required. With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company determined that Geesink goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded the non-cash impairment charges of $175.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to record improved results, albeit still a loss, at this business in fiscal 2009 as it continues to work to improve the operational efficiency of this business.

        The Company’s focus in fiscal 2009 will be on managing costs, generating cash flow and reducing debt. The financial credit crisis has created much uncertainty about near term future economic conditions and has made it more difficult to project results for fiscal 2009. The Company expects that current economic conditions will negatively impact a number of its businesses into or through all of fiscal 2009. The Company estimates that its sales will decrease to $6.3 — $6.7 billion and that its earnings per share will range between $1.65 and $2.05. The Company expects continued weakness in economies worldwide to significantly affect salesrebound in the access equipment segment, and concrete placement portion of its commercial segmentanticipated capital expenditures in fiscal 2009, driving consolidated sales down from $7.1 billion in fiscal 2008. 2012 of $85 million to $95 million.

The Company expects that the decreases in sales in these two businessesfiscal 2012 will be partially offset by a strong increaseits trough earnings year in defense segment sales due to U.S. government requirements for new heavy-payload tactical vehicles. this business cycle as it expects its MOVE strategic initiatives will have greater impact on earnings in fiscal 2013 and as the global economy continues its slow recovery.

The Company expects consolidated operating income margins to be between 5% and 6% as a result of lower sales expectations, under absorption of fixed costs and increasesrelatively strong performance in the costs of raw materialsdefense segment in the access equipment segment, offset in partfirst quarter of fiscal 2012, driven by the expected returnsale of more than 400 M-ATVs. The Company expects that seasonally weak sales and high material costs not yet offset by the recently announced price increase will impact access equipment results in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company expects lower sales and an operating loss in the fire & emergency segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as it continues to profitabilityimprove efficiencies at its Florida operations. The Company also expects relatively strong performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 in the Company’s commercial segment.

Fiscal 20082011 Compared to Fiscal 20072010

 

Consolidated net sales increased 13.2%decreased $2.26 billion, or 22.9%, to $7.14$7.58 billion in fiscal 20082011 compared to fiscal 2007. The inclusion of JLG2010 largely due to the expected decrease in sales under the resultsM-ATV contract, offset in part by increased demand for the entire fiscal year in 2008 as compared to only ten months in fiscal 2007, strong access equipment and sales in Europe, significantly higher defense sales and favorable foreign currency exchange rates droveunder the increase in consolidated net sales.start-up of the FMTV program.

 Access equipment

Defense segment net sales increased 21.5%decreased $2.80 billion, or 39.0%, to $3.09$4.37 billion in fiscal 20082011 compared to fiscal 2007.2010. The increasedecrease in sales was driven byprimarily due to the inclusioncompletion of JLGthe initial M-ATV production. The start-up of FMTV production added $548.8 million in sales forduring fiscal 2011, offsetting some of the entire yearM-ATV sales decrease. Combined vehicle and parts & services sales related to the M-ATV program totaled $1.25 billion in fiscal 2011, a decrease of $3.24 billion compared to the Company’s ownership for ten monthsprior year.

Access equipment segment net sales decreased $959.8 million, or 31.9%, to $2.05 billion in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Sales in fiscal 2011 included $0.11 billion in intersegment M-ATV related sales compared to $1.73 billion in fiscal 2010. Sales to external customers totaled $1.94 billion in fiscal 2011, a 53.5% increase compared to fiscal 2010. The increase in sales to external customers compared with the prior year period and significantly stronger demand for aerial work platforms outside North America. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates also increased sales by $130.0 million. These increases were offset in part by lower demandwas primarily a result of higher replacement of aged equipment in North America in fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year as a result(up 88%) and parts of slowing non-residential construction markets. Access equipment sales in the prior year represented sales of JLG from December 6, 2006, the date of acquisition, through the end of the fiscal year.Europe (up 44%).

 Defense segment net sales increased 33.6% to $1.89 billion in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. The increase was attributable to an increase in sales of new and remanufactured trucks, as well as higher parts and service sales. Sales of new and remanufactured trucks were up 32.3% versus the prior year as an increase in sales of new and remanufactured heavy-payload trucks was partially offset by a decrease in medium-payload truck sales and international truck sales. Parts and service sales increased nearly 40% in fiscal 2008 on significantly higher armor kit shipments and service work.

Fire & emergency segment net sales increased 4.4%decreased $115.7 million, or 12.6%, to $1.19 billion$800.3 million in fiscal 20082011 compared to fiscal 2007.2010. The increasedecrease in sales reflected higher domestica $120.3 million decrease in fire apparatus sales as a result of continued market share gains and higher airport product sales,volume due partially to higher international sales, offset in part by weakersoft demand for towing equipment as well as mobile medical trailers and broadcast vehicles. The towing equipment vehicle market was negatively impacted by lower demand as a result of rising fuel prices and uncertaintyattributable to weak municipal spending in the U.S. economy. A reduction in medical reimbursement rates by the U.S. government to providers of mobile medical imaging services had a negative effect on sales of mobile medical trailers, and during the first half of fiscal 2008, a writers’ strike reducing television networks’ advertising revenues negatively impacted the broadcast vehicle market.

Table of the January 2007 diesel engine emissions standards changes, offset in part by an increase in European refuse collection vehicle sales. European refuse collection vehicle sales were up 27.7% in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 due to higher demand in The Netherlands. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates also increased reported sales by $25.5 million.Contents

Fiscal 20072010 Compared to Fiscal 20062009

 

Consolidated net sales increased $2.88 billion, or 84.0%,87.4% to $6.31$9.84 billion in fiscal 20072010 compared to fiscal 2006. Net2009. The increase in sales increased in all segments. The acquisitions of OSV, IMT and JLG contributed $2.73 billionwas primarily the result of the sales increaseM-ATV contract in fiscal 2007.the defense segment.

 Access equipment net sales were $2.54 billion in fiscal 2007. Access equipment sales represent sales of JLG from December 6, 2006, the date of its acquisition, through the end of the fiscal year. After the date of acquisition in fiscal 2007, JLG experienced strong demand in Europe and Asia for all products and in North America for aerial work platforms. The segment also benefited from the start-up of production of Caterpillar-branded telehandlers. The segment experienced softer demand for its traditional telehandlers in North America as a result of a slowdown in residential construction.

Defense segment net sales increased 7.5%176.0% to $1.42$7.16 billion in fiscal 20072010 compared to fiscal 2006.2009. The increase was primarily due to the sale of 7,539 M-ATV units and related aftermarket parts & service under a contract which began initial production in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Combined vehicle and parts & service sales related to the M-ATV program totaled $4.49 billion in fiscal 2010, an increase of $4.39 billion over fiscal 2009 levels.

Access equipment segment net sales increased 145.8% to $3.0 billion in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. Sales in fiscal 2010 included $1.7 billion in intersegment M-ATV related sales to the defense segment. Sales to external customers increased 12.0% to $1.3 billion in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. Sales to external customers reflected relatively strong demand for new equipment in North America (up 21%) and Latin America (up 130%), offset in part by substantially lower demand in Europe, Africa and the Middle East (down 29%). In addition to the higher volumes experienced during fiscal 2010, the increase in sales as compared to fiscal 2009 was the result of improved pricing, primarily related to long-term U.S. government contracts with annual price escalation clauses ($20.1 million), favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($17.4 million) and improved product mix ($15.1 million).

Fire & emergency segment net sales decreased 12.1% to $916.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. The decrease in sales reflected lower shipments of fire apparatus ($116.3 million reduction) due to softer demand attributable to declining municipal budgets in the U.S. and continued weak demand for mobile medical equipment ($25.9 million reduction). In addition, the mobile medical equipment market has been adversely impacted by a reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates and the uncertain health care environment in the U.S.

Commercial segment net sales increased 5.4% to $622.1 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. A $29.9 million increase in intersegment production of heavy tactical vehicle components for the defense segment and a 38.6% increase in concrete placement vehicle shipments off of historical lows were offset by a 3.5% decrease in domestic refuse collection vehicle shipments.

Consolidated Cost of Sales — Three Years Ended September 30, 2011

Fiscal 2011 Compared to Fiscal 2010

Consolidated cost of sales were $6.50 billion, or 85.8% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $7.87 billion, or 80.0% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The 580 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year was attributablegenerally due to an increase inadverse product mix (290 basis points), under absorption of fixed costs and inefficiencies associated with lower sales and restructuring actions (100 basis points) and higher new product development spending (90 basis points).

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Consolidated cost of new and remanufactured trucks, offset by sharply lower parts and service sales. Salessales increased to $7.87 billion, or 80.0% of medium-payload tactical vehicles to the DoDsales, in fiscal 2007 more than offset a2010 compared to $4.55 billion, or 86.6% of sales, in fiscal 2009. The 660 basis point decrease in international truckcost of sales as a percentage of sales was due to the completionimpact of the U.K. Wheeled Tanker contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The sharp decrease in parts and serviceM-ATV related sales resulted from the completion of several nonrecurring, large armor and armor installation projects in fiscal 2006.

        Fire & emergency segment net sales increased 18.8% to $1.14 billion in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. The acquisition of OSV added sales of $101.7 million in fiscal 2007. Sales rose 8.4% for other businesses in the segment, reflecting(260 basis points), relatively fixed overhead costs spread over a higher sales for all domestic business units, most notably fire apparatusbase (190 basis points), improved pricing (90 basis points) and towing products. The increase in domestic fire apparatus sales reflected higher demand for chassis with engines purchased in advancelower material costs (60 basis points).

Table of diesel engine emissions standards changes effective January 1, 2007, increased pricing and some market share gains. The increase in towing product sales reflected a higher mix of package sales, which include both a wrecker unit and a purchased chassis.Contents

 Commercial segment net sales increased 4.9% to $1.25 billion in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 due to the addition of IMT for the full year and higher domestic refuse collection vehicle sales. The acquisition of IMT added net sales of $85.8 million in fiscal 2007. Domestic refuse collection vehicle sales were 23.9% higher in fiscal 2007 due to an increase in shipments to large U.S. commercial waste haulers and municipalities. A 10.2% decrease of concrete placement product sales in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006, largely due to lower domestic concrete mixer volume subsequent to the January 1, 2007 changes to diesel engine emissions standards and a slowdown in residential construction, partially offset the increase in sales of refuse collection vehicles. European refuse collection vehicle sales were also down 9.2% in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 due to soft demand for the Company’s products in the United Kingdom, the lack of available chassis for mounting refuse collection vehicles in France during the first half of the fiscal year and some market share losses.

Fiscal 20082011 Compared to Fiscal 20072010

 

Consolidated operating income declined 31.2% to $406.3decreased $893.2 million, or 5.7%64.1%, to $500.9 million, or 6.6% of sales, in fiscal 20082011 compared to $590.3 million,$1.39 billion, or 9.4%14.2% of sales, in fiscal 2007.2010. Operating income declined in fiscal 2008 principally due to non-cash intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of $175.2 million related to Geesink.

        Access equipment segment operating income increased 34.1% to $360.1 million, or 11.7% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $268.4 million, or 10.6% of sales, in fiscal 2007. Operating income margins in the prior year were negatively affected by the timing of the JLG acquisition just prior to JLG’s seasonal holiday shut-down2011 and charges of $14.0 million related to the revaluation of inventory at the acquisition date of JLG. In addition, operating income for fiscal 2008 benefited from favorable foreign currency exchange rates and a favorable product and customer mix.

        Defense segment operating income increased 8.2% to $265.2 million, or 14.0% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $245.0 million, or 17.3% of sales, in fiscal 2007. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales during fiscal 2008 reflected a higher mix of lower-margin truck sales, lower negotiated margins on the FHTV contract and inefficiencies on the start-up of a contract, offset in part by the reduction of a warranty reserve upon the expiration of a systemic warranty.

        Fire & emergency segment operating income decreased 12.6% to $93.9 million, or 7.9% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to $107.5 million, or 9.4% of sales, in fiscal 2007. The decrease in both operating income and operating income margin was the result of softness in the towing equipment market and adverse product mix as well as operating losses at OSV, the Company’s domestic mobile medical trailer and broadcast vehicle business.

        The commercial segment incurred an operating loss of $204.0 million, or 19.7% of sales, in fiscal 2008 compared to operating income of $57.7 million, or 4.6% of sales, in fiscal 2007. The operating loss for fiscal 20082010 included $175.2 million in non-cash charges related to the impairment of intangible assets at Geesink. Operating income performance was also negatively impacted by other operating losses at Geesink and significantly lower domestic concrete mixer sales as a result of a slowdown in the U.S. residential construction market combined with lower unit volumes subsequent to the pre-buy ahead of the January 2007 diesel engine emissions standards changes. Geesink sustained an operating loss of $212.3 million in fiscal 2008 compared to an operating loss of $19.3 million in fiscal 2007. In addition to the $175.2 million ofpre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets of $8.2 million and $34.1 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily the result of lower sales volumes and a shift from higher margin M-ATV sales to loss generating FMTV sales in the defense segment.

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-20, Goodwill, the Company reviews goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could result in impairment. Following the impairment testing, the Company recorded impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets the increaseof $4.8 million in the fire & emergency segment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Defense segment operating income decreased 58.9% to $543.0 million, or 12.4% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $1.32 billion, or 18.4% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income compared to the prior year reflected the lower sales volume as well as adverse product mix as a result of the shift from higher margin M-ATV sales to loss generating FMTV sales and ramp-up costs on the FMTV contract.

Access equipment segment operating income decreased 32.9% to $65.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $97.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decline in operating results was due to the decrease in intersegment M-ATV related sales and higher material costs ($37.0 million), offset in part by higher sales to external customers and the reversal of provisions for credit losses of $11.2 million, primarily related to a customer settlement, compared to a provision for credit losses of $13.3 million in the prior year. In the prior year, the access equipment segment recognized $1.73 billion of intersegment M-ATV related sales at mid single-digit margins compared to intersegment M-ATV related sales of $0.11 billion at similar margins in fiscal 2011.

The fire & emergency segment reported an operating loss of $8.2 million, or 1.0% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to operating income of $57.6 million, or 6.3% of sales, in fiscal 2010. Operating results in fiscal 2011 and 2010 included pre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets of $4.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income largely reflected lower sales volumes along with restructuring charges and other costs related to costs associated with the rationalization ofCompany’s plans to rationalize and optimize its global manufacturing facilities, inefficiencies associated with the relocation and start-up of production of Norba-branded products in The Netherlands and increased material and warranty costs.footprint ($12.8 million).

 

Commercial segment operating income decreased 79.8% to $3.9 million, or 0.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $19.4 million, or 3.1% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income was largely a result of lower sales volumes, a LIFO inventory charge of $2.5 million in fiscal 2011 compared to a $1.7 million LIFO credit in fiscal 2010 and the restoration of some employee pay and benefits.

The changes in receivables and accounts payable in fiscal 2011 were primarily driven by increases in production and sales to external customers in the access equipment segment, offset in part by reductions in M-ATV production in the defense segment. The change in inventories in fiscal 2011 was primarily driven by reductions in M-ATV production in the defense segment, offset in part by higher inventories in the access equipment segment as a result of increases in production and sales to external customers. The change in customer advances was primarily driven by the timing of FMTV and M-ATV orders in the defense segment. The change in payroll-related obligations was primarily the result of the payment of fiscal 2010 year-end incentive compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a lower payout in fiscal 2010.

The Company’s cash flow from operations has fluctuated, and will likely continue to fluctuate, significantly from quarter to quarter due to changes in working capital requirements arising principally from seasonal fluctuations in sales, the start-up or conclusion of large defense contracts and the timing of receipt of individually large performance-based payments from the DoD.

        The Company’s ability to obtain debt financing at competitive risk-based interest rates is partly a function of its existing credit ratiosDoD, as well as its current credit ratings. The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed regularly by major debt rating agencies such as Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. In September 2008, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services lowered the Company long-term debt rating from BB to BB-, citing expectations for weaker future demand from its key markets. In May 2008, Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Company’s corporate rating on the Company’s long-term debt as Ba3. A further downgradechanges in our credit rating could limit the Company’s access to public debt markets, could limit the institutions willing to provide credit facilities and could make any future credit facility amendment more costly and/or difficult to obtain.

        As discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s markets are highly cyclical and the Company has experienced declines in several of its markets over the last 18 months. Based on the Company’s current outlook, there are scenarios under which the Company could fall out of compliance with the financial covenants contained in its credit agreement. However, the Company is proceeding with a plan with the objective of avoiding the need to amend the credit agreement by maintaining compliance with its financial covenants or at least delay seeking an amendment to mitigate any financial impact. The plan involves targeting $500 million or more of debt reduction in fiscal 2009 and maintaining strong fiscal management. If the Company is not successful in delivering the higher end of its earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and timely debt reduction of $500 million or more, then the Company will need to request an amendment to its credit agreement. In the event that the Company would need to amend its credit agreement, the Company would likely incur substantial up front fees and significantly higher interest costs than reflected in the Company’s earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and other terms in the amendment would likely be significantly less favorable than those in the Company’s current credit agreement. The Company believes, based on discussions with its lead banks, that an amendment could be obtained if ultimately necessary, but no assurance can be given that this will remain the case at such time that the Company may request such an amendment. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to operate its business.

Operating Cash Flows

        The Company’s operating activities provided cash of $390.4 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $406.0 million in fiscal 2007. The reduction in cash flows from operations as compared to fiscal 2007 was largely the result of higher income tax payments of $55.9 million and value added tax (“VAT”) payments, offset in part by a decrease in operating working capital (whichrequirements arising principally from seasonal fluctuations in sales.

Consolidated days sales outstanding (defined as “Trade Receivables” divided by “Net Sales” for the Company defines as trade accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable and customer advances), which consumed $85.8 million less cash in fiscal 2008 versus the prior year. The Company incurred higher income tax payments in fiscal 2008 comparedmost recent quarter multiplied by 90 days) increased from 37 days at September 30, 2010 to fiscal 2007, primarily because the prior year period benefited from acquisition-related deductions.

The increase in cash provided from changes in operating working capital in fiscal 2008days sales outstanding was primarily due to higher cash collections on receivables andthe increase in access equipment segment sales to external customers, which tend to have longer payment terms for accounts payable, offsetthan defense sales. Days sales outstanding on non-defense sales was 57 days at September 30, 2011, up from 49 days at September 30, 2010. Consolidated inventory turns (defined as “Cost of Sales” divided by the average “Inventory” as of the previous five quarter end periods) decreased from 6.7 times at September 30, 2010 to 5.5 times at September 30, 2011. The decrease in part by additional inventory withinturns was primarily related to the access equipment segment and the timingscheduled completion of performance-based paymentsM-ATV production in fiscal 2011, which had a positive impact on inventory turns in the Company’s defense segment. In fiscal 2007, the acquisition of JLG resulted in an increase in trade accounts receivable and inventoryprior year due to the timingvelocity of the JLG acquisition during a seasonally slow period. The access equipment segment had been producing inventory through June 2008 based on a combination of orders in backlog and a robust forecast of orders to be received. In June 2008, the access equipment segment experienced weaker than previously expected orders, a number of order cancellations and notices from several large customers that they would be significantly decreasing their purchases for the remainder of the calendar year, resulting in higher inventory levels at June 30, 2008 than previously planned. The Company has adjusted production within the access equipment segment to reflect the Company’s revised sales outlook. During fiscal 2007, the Company renewed a large defense contract and realized a performance-based payment of $122.4 million at the time of contract renewal. The Company did not conclude negotiations regarding the renewal of this contract until the first quarter of fiscal 2009, which delayed the initial performance-based payment under this contract.program.

Investing Cash Flows

 

Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 20082011 was $100.2$68.3 million compared to $3.23 billion$83.9 million in fiscal 2007, which included $3.14 billion of cash used for the acquisition of JLG in December 2006.2010. Capital spending, excluding equipment held for rental, of $75.8 million in fiscal 2008 was2011 remained relatively consistent with capital spending in fiscal 2007.

Financing activities resulted in a net use of cash of $273.6$231.5 million during fiscal 20082011 compared to cash provided from financing operations of $2.87 billion$722.5 million during fiscal 2007, which included $3.07 billion2010. The Company’s repayment of debt slowed in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 as a result of the decrease in cash provided by financing activities duringoperating activities. The Company expects modest debt repayment in fiscal 2007 related2012.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from income, availability under the $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and available cash and cash equivalents. In addition to borrowings usedcash and cash equivalents of $428.5 million, the Company had $522.1 million of unused availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011. These sources of liquidity are needed to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. The Company believes that it will experience modestly negative free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) in fiscal 2012. The Company expects that the cash usage will be largely driven by lower earnings, lower performance-based payments from the DoD as a result of an expected continued decline in defense segment sales, higher working capital requirements as sales to external customers continue to rebound in the access equipment segment, and anticipated capital expenditures in fiscal 2012 of $85 million to $95 million. The Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to finance its operations over the acquisition of JLG.next twelve months.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

 The

On September 27, 2010, the Company hasreplaced its existing credit agreement with a syndicatednew senior secured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions, which consists oflenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year $550.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in October 2015 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $550 million and two(ii) a $650 million term loan facilities (“Term Loan A” and “Term Loan B,” and collectively, the “Term Loan Facility”Loan”). The $500.0 facility due in quarterly principal installments of $16.25 million Term Loan A requires principal payments of $12.5 million, plus interest, due quarterly through September 2011,commencing December 31, 2010 with a final principalballoon payment of $262.5$341.25 million due December 6, 2011. The $2.6 billion Term Loan B requires principal paymentsat maturity in October 2015. During the fourth quarter of $6.5 million, plus interest, due quarterly through September 2013, with a final principal payment of $2,424.5 million due December 6, 2013. As a result of excess available cash,fiscal 2011, the Company prepaid its quarterlythe principal payments which were originally due in December 2008 and March 2009. In addition, the Company has paid all of the remaining quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan B, as well as $110.5 million of the final principal paymentinstallment under the Term Loan B.which was originally due December 31, 2011 and $8.75 million of the principal installment which was originally due March 31, 2012. In October 2011, the Company prepaid $40.0 million of current maturities of long-term debt, which represented the remaining principal amount due under the Term Loan during fiscal 2012.

 

The estimated future maturitiesCompany’s obligations under the Credit Agreement forare guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the six fiscal years succeeding September 30, 2008 are as follows: 2009 — $25.0 million; 2010 — $50.0 million; 2011 — $50.0 million; 2012 — $262.5 million; 2013 — $0.0 million and 2014 — $2,314.0 million.

        Interest rates on borrowingsCompany will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities are variable and are equalAgreement to the “Base Rate” (which is equalextent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement. Subject to the higher of a bank’s reference rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or a bank’s “Prime Rate”) or the “Off-Shore” or “LIBOR Rate” (which is a bank’s inter-bank offered rate for U.S. dollars in off-shore markets) plus a specified margin. The margins are subject to adjustment, up or down, based on whether certain financial criteria are met. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2008 was 4.58% and 4.32% forexceptions, the Term Loans A and B, respectively.

        The Credit Agreement contains various restrictionsis secured by (i) a first-priority perfected lien and covenants, including (1) requirements thatsecurity interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, maintaineach material subsidiary of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, (ii) mortgages upon certain financial ratios at prescribed levels; and (2) restrictions on the abilityreal property of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and (iii) a pledge of the equity of each material subsidiary and each subsidiary guarantor.

The Company must pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.40% to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and dispose0.50% per annum of assets. Thethe average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement also requires maintenanceand (ii) a fee ranging from 1.125% to 3.50% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a rolling four-quarter basis of a maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 4.75x for the fiscal quarter endingspecified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied. At September 30, 2008, reducing to 4.25x for2011, the fiscal quarters endinginterest spread on December 31, 2008 through September 30, 2009,the Revolving Credit Facility and 3.75x for fiscal quarters ending thereafter, and a minimumTerm Loan was 250 basis points. The weighted-average interest coverage ratio (as defined inrate on borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement) of 2.50x, in each case tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with these covenantsTerm Loan at September 30, 2008.2011, prior to consideration of the interest rate swap, was 2.77%.

 

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rate risk,rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement on January 11,in 2007 whichthat effectively fixedfixes the interest payment ofpayments on a portion of certain floating-rate debt instruments.the Company’s variable-rate debt. The swap, which has a termination date of December 6, 2011, effectively fixedfixes the LIBOR-based interest rate on the debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement.Agreement (7.605% at September 30, 2011). The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 20082011 was $2.0 billion$250 million.

Table of which are referred to in, or as part of, the forward-looking statements. These assumptions include, without limitation, those relating to the Company’s estimates for the level of concrete placement activity, housing starts, non-residential construction spending and mortgage rates globally; the performance of the U.S. and European economies; the level of the Company’s borrowing costs and that the Company will not need to amend its credit agreement to maintain compliance with financial covenants; the Company’s spending on product development and bid and proposal activities with respect to defense truck procurement competitions and the outcome of such competitions; the Company’s ability to offset higher steel and raw material costs through decreases in other costs or product selling price increases; the Company’s expectations as to timing of receipt of sales orders and payments and execution and funding of defense contracts; the Company’s ability to achieve cost reductions and operating efficiencies across the Company; the Company’s ability to turn around its Geesink business; the Company’s ability to turn around the Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles business sufficiently to support its current valuation resulting in no impairment charges; that there will be no further impairments of the Company’s other long-lived assets; the Company’s estimates of the impact of changing fuel prices and credit availability on capital spending of towing operators; the Company’s estimates of the impact of changing Medicare reimbursement rates on capital spending of mobile medical providers; the anticipated level of production and margins associated with the FHTV contract, the Indefinite Demand/Indefinite Quantity truck remanufacturing contract, the LVSR contract and international defense truck contracts; the impact of rising costs under firm, fixed-priced contracts, including the FHTV and LVSR contracts; the Company’s estimates for capital expenditures of rental and construction companies for JLG’s products, of municipalities for fire & emergency and refuse collection vehicles, of airports for aircraft rescue and snow removal products and of large commercial waste haulers generally and with the Company; federal funding levels for U.S. Department of Homeland Security and spending by governmental entities on homeland security apparatus; the expected level of commercial “package” body and purchased chassis sales compared to “body only” sales; anticipated levels of capital expenditures by the Company; the Company’s estimates for costs relating to litigation, product warranty, product liability, insurance, stock options, performance share awards, bad debts and personnel; and the Company’s estimates for foreign currency exchange rates, working capital needs and effective income tax rates. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the assumptions referred to in the forward-looking statements or otherwise are accurate or will prove to have been correct. Any assumptions that are inaccurate or do not prove to be correct could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve the results that the forward-looking statements contemplate.

Fiscal 2009 OutlookContents

        The Company estimates that fiscal 2009 consolidated net sales will range between $6.3 billion and $6.7 billion, a decrease from fiscal 2008 net sales of 6.1% to 11.7%. These estimates assume that worldwide equity and credit markets will stabilize in the next few months. If these markets do not stabilize, the Company would expect access equipment, commercial and, to a lesser extent, fire & emergency segment sales to be impacted by lower demand for their products and services. All comparisons are to the Company’s fiscal 2008 results.

 The Company expects access equipment segment sales in fiscal 2009 will decrease about 30%, plus or minus a couple percentage points. The decrease in sales reflects weak sales in North America and Europe as both residential and non-residential construction markets are expected to be weak, offset in part by an increase in demand for some smaller emerging markets and a modest increase in aftermarket sales.

        Based on additional funding provided for the Company’s truck programs in recently enacted federal spending bills intended to fund Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Company is projecting defense segment sales to grow 20% to 25% in fiscal 2009.

        The Company expects fire & emergency segment sales to be down 5% to 10% in fiscal 2009, as strength in domestic fire apparatus and airport product businesses is not expected to be sufficient to offset lower demand in the other businesses in the segment. The anticipated growth at the Company’s domestic fire apparatus business reflects market share gains as well as announced price increases.

        The Company estimates commercial segment sales to be flat to down 10% in fiscal 2009, due to continued weakness in residential and non-residential construction markets, offset in part by growth in refuse collection vehicle product sales. The Company does not expect to see any increase in demand for concrete placement vehicles in fiscal 2009 in advance of the diesel engine emissions standards changes effective January 2010.

        The Company is projecting consolidated operating income of between $350 million and $400 million in fiscal 2009, reflecting consolidated operating income margins of between 5% and 6%. The anticipated reduction in consolidated margin is primarily the result of lower margins in the Company’s access equipment and defense segments.

-40-


        The Company is projecting access equipment operating income margins to be down to 3.5% to 4.5% in fiscal 2009, reflecting under absorption of fixed costs as a result of the expected lower volumes, higher steel and component costs prior to the effective date of the sales price increase and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, offset in part by the benefit of the cost reduction activities taken in fiscal 2008. Defense segment operating income margins are projected to decrease 200 to 250 basis points in fiscal 2009, reflecting a higher percentage of sales under the lower margin FHTV and LVSR contracts. Fire & emergency segment margins are projected to be up approximately 100 to 150 basis points in fiscal 2009, reflecting the impact of recent cost reduction initiatives and improved sales mix among businesses within the segment. Commercial segment operating income margins are projected to be slightly better than break even in fiscal 2009 as a result of improved results at Geesink, as the majority of the facility rationalization costs were incurred in fiscal 2008, and the benefits of cost reduction initiatives in the segment’s domestic businesses.

        The Company estimates that corporate operating expenses and inter-segment profit eliminations will be flat to slightly down compared to fiscal 2008. This estimate reflects the benefits of the cost reduction initiatives, offset by additional estimated expense associated with a potential sale of receivables and general inflationary increases. The Company estimates that net interest and other expenses will be approximately $180 million in fiscal 2009 largely due to the expected repayment of additional debt incurred in connection with the JLG acquisition. If the Company is unsuccessful with its plan to avoid seeking an amendment of its credit agreement in fiscal 2009, the resulting amendment would likely involve substantial upfront fees and significantly higher interest costs than reflected in this $180 million estimate.

        The Company estimates that in fiscal 2009 its effective income tax rate will be approximately 33% as a result of a reduction in the European tax incentive offset by a reduction in unbenefited losses and the re-instatement in October 2008 of the research & development tax credit. The Company estimates that equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates will approximate $4.0 million.

        During fiscal 2009, the Company is targeting to reduce its outstanding debt by $500 million or more, resulting in debt of about $2.27 billion at September 30, 2009. The Company anticipates capital spending to approximate $60 million in fiscal 2009.

        These estimates result in the Company’s estimates of fiscal 2009 net income between $124 million and $154 million and earnings per share between $1.65 and $2.05, assuming that no amendment of its credit agreement is necessary in fiscal 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition:Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned, when services have been rendered. Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

 

Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial products manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government. The Company records revenues under certain long-term, fixed-price defense contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, generally using either the cost-to-costincludes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or units accepted method as the measurement basis for effort accomplished. Profits expected to be realized on contracts are based on management estimates of total contract sales value and costs at completion. Estimated amounts for contract changes and claims are includedother items in contract sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is estimatedprobable. The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to be probable. Assumptions used for recording sales and earnings are recognized as a cumulative life-to-date adjustment in the period of change to reflect revisions in contract value and estimated costs. In the period in which it is determined that a loss will be incurred on a contract, the entire amountwhen identified. Approximately 37% of the estimated loss is charged to cost of sales.Company’s revenues for fiscal 2011 were recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method.

 

The Company accounts for certain equipment lease contracts as sales-type leases. The present value of all payments, net of executory costs (such as legal fees), is recorded as revenue, the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales, certain profit is deferred in accordance with lease accounting rules and interest income is recognized over the terms of the leases using the effective interest method.

 

The Company enters into rental purchase guarantee agreements with some of its customers. These agreements are normally for a term of no greater than twelve months and provide for rental payments with a guaranteed purchase at the end of the agreement. At the inception of the agreement, the Company records the full amount due under the agreement as revenue and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales.

-41-


Sales Incentives:Incentives. The terms for sales transactions with some of the Company’s distributors and customers may include specific volume-based incentives, which are calculated and paid or credited on account as a percentage of actual sales. The Company accounts for these incentives as sales discounts at the time of revenue recognition, which are recorded as a direct reduction of sales. The Company reviews its accrual for sales incentives on a quarterly basis and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible AssetsAssets. : The Company performs impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current operations.

Impairment ofGoodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets:Assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The Company performs its annual review at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the businesses to which the goodwill relates.relates, supplemented by the market approach. Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business. When estimated future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the net assets and related goodwill, an impairment test is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considers current and projected future levels of income as well as business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions.

 

47



Table of Contents

The Company evaluates the recoverability of indefinite-lived trade names, based upon a “relief from royalty” method. This methodology determines the fair value of each trade name through use of a discounted cash flow model that incorporates an estimated “royalty rate” the Company would be able to charge a third party for the use of the particular trade name. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considers projected future sales, a fair market royalty rate for each applicable trade name and an appropriate discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows.

The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. See “Critical Accounting Estimates.”

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others:Others. The Company enters into agreements with finance companies whereby the Company will guarantee the indebtedness of third-party end-users to whom the finance company lends to purchase the Company’s equipment. In some instances, the Company retains an obligation to the finance companies in the event the customer defaults on the financing. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,”, the Company recognizes the greater of the fair value of the guarantee or the contingent liability required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Reserves are initially established related to these guarantees at the fair value of the guarantee based upon the Company’s understanding of the current financial position of the underlying customers and based on estimates and judgments made from information available at that time. If the Company becomes aware of deterioration in the financial condition of the customer/borrower or of any impairment of the customer/borrower’s ability to make payments, additional allowances are considered. Although the Company may be liable for the entire amount of a customer/borrower’s financial obligation under guarantees, its losses would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral including financed equipment, the finance company’s inability to provide clear title of foreclosed equipment to the Company, loss pools established in accordance with the agreements and other conditions. During periods of economic downturn, the value of the underlying collateral supporting these guarantees can decline sharply to further increase losses in the event of a customer/borrower’s default.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management of the Company has discussed the development and selection of the following critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s disclosures relating to such estimates in this Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Definitization of Undefinitized Contracts. The Company recognizes revenue on undefinitized contracts to the extent that it can reasonably and reliably estimate the expected final contract price and when collectability is reasonably assured. To the extent that contract definitization results in changes to previously estimated costs or revenues, the Company records those adjustments as a change in estimate. The Company updated its estimated costs under several undefinitized change orders related to M-ATVs and recorded $1.8 million related to such updates during fiscal 2011. As all costs associated with these contracts had been previously expensed, the change increased net income by $1.2 million or $0.01 per share.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:Accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s trade receivables are recorded. The Company evaluates the collectability of receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additional reserves are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the current receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and underlying economic conditions. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

Goodwill:Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. The Company evaluates the recoverabilityestimate of goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flowsfair value of the businesses to whichreporting units is generally determined on the goodwill relates. In determining the estimatedbasis of discounted future cash flows supplemented by the Company considersmarket approach. In estimating the fair value, management must make assumptions and projections regarding such items as future cash flows, future revenues, future earnings and other factors. The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of each reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and projected future levels of income as well as business trends, prospects and market and economiccompetitive conditions. The rate used to discount estimated cash flows is a rate corresponding to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and is dependent upon interest rates at a point in time. The Company weighted the income approach more heavily (75%) as the income approach uses long-term estimates that consider the expected operating profit of each reporting unit during periods where residential and non-residential construction and other macroeconomic indicators are nearer historical averages. The Company believes the income approach more accurately considers the expected recovery in the U.S. and European construction markets than the market approach. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner to cause anfurther impairment of goodwill, which could have a material impact.impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 During

At July 1, 2011, approximately 88% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and purchased intangibles were concentrated within the JLG reporting unit in the access equipment segment. The estimated fair value of JLG calculated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008,2011 impairment analysis exceeded JLG’s net book value by approximately 40%, or $900 million. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy and construction spending (and hence access equipment demand) will improve beginning in fiscal 2013. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current economic uncertainty. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results. For each additional 50 basis point increase in the discount rate, the fair value of JLG would decrease by approximately $150 million. Events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at JLG include a further decline in economic conditions, a slower or weaker economic recovery than currently estimated by the Company performed its annual impairment review relativeor other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at JLG. The Company has no other reporting units that have material amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally trade names) and concluded that no impairment had occurred. The Company’s common stock price declined significantlyare at risk of impairment.

Loss Contracts. During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred ramp-up costs of $43.0 million on production of FMTVs which resulted in costs in excess of revenues under the FMTV contract during fiscal 2008, and as a result the market capitalizationeach quarter of the fiscal year. The Company was belowexpects to continue to incur costs in excess of revenues on the carrying valueFMTV contract through the first quarter of fiscal 2012, although at amounts lower than in fiscal 2011. The Company expects that FMTV program revenues for production beyond September 30, 2011 on orders received to-date will exceed expected costs and, therefore, has not recorded a charge for a loss contract. In evaluating the profitability under the FMTV contract, it is necessary to estimate future material and production costs. Management cost assumptions include estimates for future increases in the costs of materials, reductions in ramp-up costs, targeted cost savings and production efficiencies. There are inherent uncertainties related to these estimates. Small changes in estimates can have a significant impact on profitability under the contract. For example, an additional 1% escalation in material costs above the Company’s estimates would increase the cost of materials by approximately $24 million. Although this amount is less than the expected future profitability, it would significantly reduce the expected future gross margins on orders currently in backlog. It is possible that other assumptions underlying the analysis could change in such a manner that the Company as of the goodwill impairment testing date. The Company does not believe that its market capitalization is indicative of the value of the Company’s reporting units because the current turmoilwould determine in the credit and financial marketsfuture that this is temporarily causing equity valuationsa loss contract, which could result in a material charge to fall well below historical valuation parameters and because a control premium would be associated with the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to the Company’s annual impairment test, the price of the Company’s common stock has declined further. The Company believes that the long-term economic outlook of the Company’s business units is not materially different than assumed at the annual impairment analysis date.earnings.

 In February 2006, the DRA was signed into law. The DRA imposes caps on Medicare payment rates for certain imaging services, including MRI, PET and CT, furnished in physicians’ offices and other non-hospital based settings. Under the caps, payments for specified imaging services cannot exceed the hospital outpatient payment rates for those services. The implementation of this law has had a significant effect on the financial condition and results of operations of OSV’s mobile medical customers in the U.S. During fiscal 2008, OSV incurred an operating loss as a result of the slowdown in mobile medical sales and a writers’ strike during the first half of the year which affected broadcast vehicles sales. In light of the slowdown in business, the Company is expanding in other markets in which OSV participates and is consolidating production in existing facilities. If the Company is unable to turn around the business, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge for OSV’s goodwill, and there could be other material adverse effects on the Company’s net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others:Others. The reserve for guarantees of the indebtedness of others requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. The estimate is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s guarantees are granted. The Company evaluates the reserve based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5.FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. In most cases, the financing company is required to provide clear title to the equipment under the financing program. The Company considers the residual value of the equipment to reduce the amount of exposure. Residual values are estimated based upon recent auctions, used equipment sales and an annual studyperiodic studies performed by a third-party. Additional reserves, based upon historical loss percentages, are established at the time of sale of the equipment based upon the requirement of FIN 45.ASC Topic 460, Guarantees. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

Product Liability:Liability. Due to the nature of the Company’s products, the Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. A substantial portion of these claims and lawsuits involve the Company’s access equipment, concrete placement and domestic refuse collection vehicle businesses, while such lawsuits in the Company’s defense and fire & emergency businesses have historically been limited. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company maintains insurance to reduce or eliminate risk to the Company. Most insurance coverage includes self-insured retentions that vary by business segment and by year. As of September 30, 2008,2011, the Company was generally self-insured for future claims up to $3.0 million per claim.

-43-


The Company establishes product liability reserves for its self-insured retention portion of any known outstanding matters based on the likelihood of loss and the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate such loss. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled matters due to the unpredictable nature of litigation. The Company makes estimates based on available information and the Company’s best judgment after consultation with appropriate experts. The Company periodically revises estimates based upon changes to facts or circumstances. The Company also utilizes actuarial methodologies to calculate reserves required for estimated incurred but not reported claims as well as to estimate the effect of the adverse development of claims over time.

Warranty:Warranty. Sales of the Company’s products generally carry typical explicit manufacturers’ warranties based on terms that are generally accepted in the Company’s marketplaces. The Company records provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. The Company provides for any such warranty issues as they become known and estimable. It is reasonably possible that from time to time additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.

 

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components included in the Company’s end products (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer.

 

The Company’s policy is to record a liability for the expected cost of warranty-related claims at the time of the sale. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring the Company’s obligations under the warranty plans. The Company believes that the warranty accounting estimate is a “critical accounting estimate” because changes in the warranty provision can materially affect net income; the estimate requires management to forecast estimated product usage levels by customers; in the case of new models, components or technology may be different, resulting in higher levels of warranty claims experience than with existing, mature products; and certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. The estimate for warranty obligations is a critical accounting estimate for each of the Company’s operating segments.

 

Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns. Over the past three fiscal years, the Company’s warranty cost as a percentage of sales has ranged from 0.91%0.41% of sales to 1.23%0.90% of sales. Warranty costs tend to be higher shortly after new product introductions, especially those introductions involving new technologies, when field warranty campaigns may be necessary to correct or retrofit certain items. Accordingly, the Company must make assumptions about the number and cost of anticipated field warranty campaigns. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of new features/components included in new product models.

 

Each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are any systemic defects that would require a field campaign. Also, based upon historical experience, warranty provision rates on new product introductions are established at higher than standard rates to reflect increased expected warranty costs associated with any new product introduction.

Table of Contents

At times, warranty issues can arise which are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. If the estimate of warranty costs in fiscal 20082011 increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the Company’s accrued warranty costs, costs of sales and operating income would each change by $35.7$37.9 million or 40.4%50.6%, 0.6% and 8.8%7.6%, respectively.

Benefit Plans:Plans. The pension benefit obligation and related pension income are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employer’s Accounting for Pensions”ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets. The Company’s benefit plan assumptions are determined by using a benchmark approach as well as currently available actuarial data. These rates are evaluated on an annual basis considering such factors as market interest rates and historical asset performance. Actuarial valuations at September 30, 20082011 used a weighted averageweighted-average discount rate of 6.00%4.70% and an expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.75%7.00%. A 0.5% decrease in the discount rate would increase annual pension expense by $2.2$4.0 million. A 0.5% decrease in the expected return on plan assets would increase the Company’s annual pension expense by $0.8$1.0 million.

-44-


The Company’s other postretirement benefits obligation and related expenseexpenses are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for PostretirementASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,”, and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including health care trend rates. An increase of one percentage point in health care costs would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $3.7$10.4 million and would increase the annual service and interest cost by $0.6$1.9 million. A corresponding decrease of one percentage point would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $3.3$8.6 million and decrease the annual service and interest cost by $0.5$1.6 million.

 The Company’s benefit plan assumptions are determined by using a benchmark approach as well as currently available actuarial data.

Income Taxes:Taxes. The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities for differences between the book basis and tax basis of the related net assets. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax asset balances to the amount management expects to realize. Management considers, as applicable, the amount of taxable income available in carryback years, future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

The Company will require future taxable income in The Netherlands in order to fully realize the net deferred tax asset in that jurisdiction. At September 30, 2008, the Company had established a valuation allowance to reserveaccounts for the net deferred tax asset related to all tax loss carryforwards in The Netherlands.

        The Company records liabilities for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. FIN 48. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $48.8 million.

New Accounting Standards

        Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Customers and Backlog

        Sales to the U.S. government comprised approximately 29% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2008. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for this period. A substantial majority of the Company’s net sales are derived from customer orders prior to commencing production.

        The Company’s backlog as of September 30, 2008 decreased 25.9% to $2,353.8 million compared to $3,177.8 million at September 30, 2007. The access equipment segment backlog decreased 61.4% to $330.0 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $854.1 million at September 30, 2007 as a result of weakening markets in Europe and a weaker U.S. economy in addition to the timing of orders that were placed in the prior year when there were capacity constraints in the industry. The defense segment backlog decreased 22.9% to $1,199.2 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $1,554.8 million at September 30, 2007. The Company did not complete negotiations of its current FHTV contract with the DoD until October 31, 2008, which negatively impacted the timing of orders from the DoD. Fire & emergency segment backlog increased 9.6% to $633.2 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $577.5 million at September 30, 2007 due to strong order volume for domestic fire apparatus. Commercial segment backlog at September 30, 2008 was $191.4 million, which was flat with September 30, 2007 backlog. Unit backlog for refuse collection vehicles was up 105.7% domestically compared to September 30, 2007 as customers continued to update their fleets. Unit backlogs for front-discharge and rear-discharge concrete mixers were down 38.2% and 18.4%, respectively, compared to September 30, 2007 on continued weak construction markets in the U.S. Unit backlog for refuse collection vehicles was down 6.6% in Europe. Approximately 2.6% of the Company’s September 30, 2008 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2009.

-45-


        Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. Additionally, backlog excludes unfunded portions of the FHTV, MTVR, ID/IQ and LVSR contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers.

Financial Market Risk

        The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, certain commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, the Company selectively uses financial instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

        The Company’s earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market interest rates. The Company, as needed, uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate movements. In January 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to reduce the risk of interest rate changes associated with the Company’s variable rate debt issued to finance the acquisition of JLG. The swap effectively fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement. The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 2008 was $2.0 billion and reduces in varying amounts annually each December until its termination on December 6, 2011. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the notional amount of the swap will decline to $1.25 billion in December 2008.

        The portion of the Company’s interest expense not effectively fixed in the interest rate swap remains sensitive to changes in the interest rates in the U.S. and off-shore markets. In this regard, changes in U.S. and off-shore interest rates affect interest payable on the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Agreement. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average cost of the Company’s variable rate debt, including outstanding swaps, would result in a change in forecasted fiscal 2009 pre-tax interest expense of approximately $13.7 million. These amounts are determined on an annual basis by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on average forecasted borrowings during fiscal 2009, after consideration of the interest rate swap, but do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Commodity Price Risk

        The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, including steel, aluminum and composites. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others which are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

-46-


        The Company generally obtains firm quotations from its suppliers for a significant portion of its orders under firm, fixed-price contracts in its defense segment. In the Company’s access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial segments, the Company generally attempts to obtain firm pricing from most of its suppliers, consistent with backlog requirements and/or forecasted annual sales. To the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.

Foreign Currency Risk

        The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, The Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, France, Australia, Germany, Romania and the United Kingdom and sales and limited vehicle body mounting activities on six continents. International sales were approximately 30% of overall net sales in fiscal 2008, including approximately 17% that involved export sales from the U.S. The majority of export sales in fiscal 2008 were denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products in foreign markets, the Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, as compared to foreign currencies in which certain of the Company’s transactions in foreign markets are denominated. The Company’s operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the European currencies, primarily the euro and the U.K. pound sterling, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar and changes between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real. Through the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities, the Company seeks to minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of the Company’s products will be affected by changes in exchange rates.

        The Company enters into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk. These contracts qualify as derivative instruments under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”; however, the Company has not designated all of these instruments as hedge transactions under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period to current earnings along with the offsetting foreign currency transaction gain/loss recognized on the related balance sheet exposure. At September 30, 2008, the Company was managing $385.7 million (notional) of foreign currency contracts, all of which were not designated as accounting hedges and all of which settle within 60 days.

        The following table quantifies outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts intended to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, receivables and payables and the corresponding impact on the value of these instruments assuming a 10% appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies on September 30, 2008 (in millions):

ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Oshkosh Corporation
Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Oshkosh Corporation
Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying management report (Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended September 30, 2008, of the Company and our report dated November 11, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of new accounting standards.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations

        Oshkosh Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), are leading manufacturers of a wide variety of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies predominately for the North American and European markets. “Oshkosh” refers to Oshkosh Corporation, not including its subsidiaries. The Company sells its products into four principal vehicle markets – access equipment, defense, fire & emergency and commercial. The access equipment business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, JLG Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“JLG”). JLG holds, along with an unaffiliated third-party, a 50% interest in a joint venture in The Netherlands, RiRent Europe, B.V. (“RiRent”). The defense business is conducted through the operations of Oshkosh. The Company’s fire & emergency business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (“Pierce”), the airport products division of Oshkosh, JerrDan Corporation (“JerrDan”), Kewaunee Fabrications, LLC (“Kewaunee”), Medtec Ambulance Corporation (“Medtec”), Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles, Inc., AK Specialty Vehicles B.V. and Frontline Holdings, Inc. (together “OSV”) and the Company’s 75%-owned subsidiary BAI Brescia Antincendi International S.r.l. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“BAI”). The Company’s commercial business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McNeilus Companies, Inc. (“McNeilus”), Concrete Equipment Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“CON-E-CO”), London Machinery Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“London”), Geesink Group B.V., Norba A.B. and Geesink Norba Limited and their wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, “Geesink”), Iowa Mold Tooling Co, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“IMT”) and the commercial division of Oshkosh. McNeilus is one of two general partners in Oshkosh/McNeilus Financial Services Partnership (“OMFSP”), which provides lease financing to the Company’s commercial customers. McNeilus owns a 49% interest in Mezcladores Trailers de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Mezcladores”), which manufactures and markets concrete mixers, concrete batch plants and refuse collection vehicles in Mexico.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oshkosh and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The 25% historical book value of BAI at the date of acquisition and 25% of subsequent operating results related to that portion of BAI not owned by the Company have been reflected as minority interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income, respectively. The Company accounts for its 50% voting interest in OMFSP and RiRent and its 49% interest in Mezcladores under the equity method.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned when services have been rendered. Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

        Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial products manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are delivered and accepted by the government. The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized as cumulative life-to-date adjustments in the periods in which they are reasonably determinable. The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified. Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs — Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Shipping and handling fee revenue was not significant for all periods presented. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Warranty– Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring Company obligations under the warranty plans. Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of features/components included in product models. Also, each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are systemic defects that would require a field campaign.

Research and Development and Similar Costs– Except for customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included as part of cost of sales. Research and development costs charged to expense amounted to $92.0 million, $75.8 million and $42.1 million during fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts are accounted for as contract costs.

Advertising – Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense and are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $22.1 million, $16.6 million and $5.0 million in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Environmental Remediation Costs – The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The liabilities are developed based on currently available information and reflect the participation of other potentially responsible parties, depending on the parties’ financial condition and probable contribution. The accruals are recorded at undiscounted amounts and are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. The accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options, long-term incentive awards and restricted stock is calculated based on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant and is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the stock-based instrument. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s stock-based incentive plan, options outstanding and options exercisable.

Income Taxes – Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

        The Company records liabilities for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48ASC Topic 740 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur. Upon adoptionAs of FIN 48,September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a $2.9 million charge to retained earnings and the reclassification of $30.0 million inhad liabilities relatedfor unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet from income taxes payabletotaling $53.3 million.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to other long-term assets ($6.2 million) and long-term liabilities ($36.2 million). See Note 182 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Customers and Backlog

Sales to the U.S. government comprised approximately 56% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2011. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for this period. A substantial majority of the Company’s net sales are derived from customer orders prior to commencing production.

Table of Contents

The Company’s backlog as of September 30, 2011 increased 19.9% to $6.48 billion compared to $5.40 billion at September 30, 2010. Defense segment backlog increased 8.5% to $5.13 billion at September 30, 2011 compared to $4.73 billion at September 30, 2010 due largely to additional delivery orders received under the FMTV contract, offset in part by the fulfillment of orders received for vehicles related to the FHTV program. Access equipment segment backlog increased 270.0% to $729.2 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $197.1 million at September 30, 2010. Backlog increased in all access equipment product categories as demand rebounded from historical lows and large rental companies accelerated orders in anticipation of capacity constraints in 2012. Access equipment backlog as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 included $62.5 million and $95.7 million, respectively, relating to telehandler orders from the DoD. Fire & emergency segment backlog increased 14.2% to $479.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $419.4 million at September 30, 2010 due largely to strong broadcast equipment orders. Commercial segment backlog increased 138.6% to $140.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $58.7 million at September 30, 2010. Unit backlog for concrete mixers was up 28.6% compared to very low backlog at September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of increased international orders. Unit backlog for refuse collection vehicles was up 144.8% compared to September 30, 2010 in large part due to the timing of orders to benefit from a bonus depreciation tax deduction under the U.S. tax code which expires on December 31, 2011.

Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. Additionally, backlog excludes unfunded portions of the FHTV, MTVR, M-ATV, LVSR and FMTV contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers. Approximately 21% of the Company’s September 30, 2011 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2012.

Financial Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, certain commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, the Company selectively uses financial instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market interest rates. The Company, as needed, uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate movements. In January 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to reduce the risk of interest rate changes associated with the Company’s variable rate debt issued to finance the acquisition of JLG. The swap effectively fixes the variable portion of the interest rate on debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement. The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 2011 was $250 million. The swap terminates on December 6, 2011.

The portion of the Company’s interest expense not effectively fixed in the interest rate swap remains sensitive to changes in the interest rates in the U.S. and off-shore markets. In this regard, changes in U.S. and off-shore interest rates affect interest payable on the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Agreement. Based on debt outstanding at September 30, 2011, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average cost of the Company’s variable rate debt, including outstanding swaps, would increase or decrease annual pre-tax interest expense by approximately $5.1 million.

For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted-average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

Commodity Price Risk. The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, including steel, aluminum and composites. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others which are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

The Company generally obtains firm quotations from its suppliers for a significant portion of its orders under firm, fixed-price contracts in its defense segment. In the Company’s access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial segments, the Company generally attempts to obtain firm pricing from most of its suppliers, consistent with backlog requirements and/or forecasted annual sales. To the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, The Netherlands, France, Australia, Romania and China and sales and limited vehicle body mounting activities on six continents. In addition, the Company manufactures products through investments in joint ventures in Mexico and Brazil. International sales comprised approximately 17% of overall net sales in fiscal 2011, including approximately 14% that involved export sales from the U.S. The majority of export sales in fiscal 2011 were denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products in foreign markets, the Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, as compared to foreign currencies in which certain of the Company’s transactions in foreign markets are denominated. The Company’s operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the European currencies, primarily the Euro and the U.K. pound sterling, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real and changes between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Through the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities, the Company seeks to minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of the Company’s products will be affected by changes in exchange rates.

The Company enters into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk. These contracts qualify as derivative instruments under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; however, the Company has not designated all of these instruments as hedge transactions under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period to current earnings along with the offsetting foreign currency transaction gain/loss recognized on the related balance sheet exposure. At September 30, 2011,

the Company was managing $154.5 million (notional) of foreign currency contracts, none of which were designated as accounting hedges and all of which settle within 60 days.

ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oshkosh Corporation

Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries at September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 15, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oshkosh Corporation

Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011 of the Company and our report dated November 15, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Nature of Operations

Oshkosh Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), are leading manufacturers of a wide variety of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies predominately for the Americas and, to a lesser extent, global markets. “Oshkosh” refers to Oshkosh Corporation, not including its subsidiaries. The Company sells its products into four principal vehicle markets — defense, access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial. The defense business is conducted through the operations of Oshkosh. The access equipment business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, JLG Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“JLG”) and JerrDan Corporation (“JerrDan”). JLG holds, along with an unaffiliated third-party, a 50% interest in a joint venture in The Netherlands, RiRent Europe, B.V. (“RiRent”). The Company’s fire & emergency business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (“Pierce”), the airport products division of Oshkosh, Kewaunee Fabrications, LLC (“Kewaunee”), and Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles (UK), Limited and AK Specialty Vehicles B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together “SMIT”). The Company’s commercial business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McNeilus Companies, Inc. (“McNeilus”), Concrete Equipment Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“CON-E-CO”), London Machinery Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“London”), Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (“IMT”) and the commercial division of Oshkosh. McNeilus is one of two general partners in Oshkosh/McNeilus Financial Services Partnership (“OMFSP”), which provides lease financing to the Company’s commercial customers. McNeilus owns a 49% interest in Mezcladores Trailers de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Mezcladores”), which manufactures and markets concrete mixers, concrete batch plants and refuse collection vehicles in Mexico. McNeilus also owns a 45% interest in McNeilus Equipamentos Do Brasil LTDA (“McNeilus Brazil”), which manufactures and distributes McNeilus branded concrete mixers and batch plants in the Mercosur region (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay).

In July 2009, the Company completed the sale of its ownership in Geesink Group B.V., Geesink Norba Limited and Norba A. B. (collectively, “Geesink”). Geesink, a European refuse collection vehicle manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s commercial segment. In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI Brescia Antincendi International S.r.l. (“BAI”) to the BAI management team. BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment. The historical operating results of these businesses have been reclassified and are presented in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the effectsales of adoptionGeesink and BAI.

2.Summary of FIN 48.Significant Accounting Policies

-55-

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oshkosh and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its 50% voting interests in OMFSP and RiRent, its 49% interest in Mezcladores and its 45% interest in McNeilus Brazil under the equity method.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned when services have been rendered. Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial whole goods manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government. The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified. Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs — Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Shipping and handling fee revenue was not significant for all periods presented. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Warranty — Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring Company obligations under the warranty plans. Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of features/components included in product models. Also, each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are systemic defects that would require a field campaign.

Research and Development and Similar Costs — Except for customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included as part of cost of sales. Research and development costs charged to expense amounted to $142.0 million, $109.3 million and $72.7 million during fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts are accounted for as contract costs.

Advertising — Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense and are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $15.5 million, $15.4 million and $11.7 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Environmental Remediation Costs — The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The liabilities are developed based on currently available information and reflect the participation of other potentially responsible parties, depending on the parties’ financial condition and probable contribution. The accruals are recorded at undiscounted amounts and are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. The accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options, restricted stock and performance shares are calculated based on the fair value of the stock-based instrument at the time of grant and are recognized as expense over the vesting period of the stock-based instrument. See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s stock-based incentive plans.

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company evaluates uncertain income tax positions in a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition

and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur.

Income taxes are provided on financial statement earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries expected to be repatriated. The Company determines annually the amount of undistributed non-U.S. earnings to invest indefinitely in its non-U.S. operations.  As a result of anticipated cash requirements in the foreign subsidiaries, the Company currently believes that all future earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided for the repatriation of those earnings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Based on Company estimates, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value as of September 30, 20082011 and 2007.2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at September 30, 20082011 consisted principally of bank deposits and money market instruments.

Receivables Receivables consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers and unbilled costs and accrued profits related to revenues on long-term contracts with the U.S. government that have been recognized for accounting purposes but not yet billed to customers. The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. The accrual for estimated losses is based on itsthe Company’s historical experience, existing economic conditions and any specific customer collection issues the Company has identified.

Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments whichthat potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, OMFSP lease receivables and guarantees of certain customers’ obligations under deferred payment contracts and lease purchase agreements.

 

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, and other financial instruments, with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts and leases receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. However, a significant amount of trade and lease receivables are with the U.S. government, with rental companies globally, with companies in the ready-mix concrete industry, with municipalities and with several large waste haulers in the United States. The Company continues to monitor credit risk associated with its trade receivables, especially during thethis period of continued global economic downturn which is expected to continue in fiscal 2009.weakness.

Inventories Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 68.9%85.4% of the Company’s inventories at September 30, 20082011 and 72.5%86.2% at September 30, 2007.2010. For the remaining inventories, cost has been determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Performance-Based Payments The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to deliver heavy-payload tactical vehicles (Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles and Logistic Vehicle System Replacement) and, medium-payload tactical vehicles (Medium(Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles and Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) and MRAP-All Terrain Vehicles (“M-ATVs”), as well as certain other defense-related contracts, include requirements for “performance-based payments”.payments.” The performance-based payment provisions in the contracts require the DoD to pay the Company based on the completion of certain pre-determined events in connection with the production under these contracts. Performance-based payments received are first applied to reduce outstanding receivables for units accepted in accordance with contractual terms, with any remaining amount recorded as an offset to inventory to the extent of related inventory on hand. Amounts received in excess of receivables and inventories are included in liabilities as customer advances.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using accelerated and straight-line methods. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 5040 years for buildings and improvements, from 4 to 25 years for machinery and equipment and from 3 to 10 years for capitalized software and related costs. The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction

period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is immaterial for all periods presented. All capitalized interest has been added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets.

Goodwill Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the aggregate fair valuesvalue assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the businesses to which the goodwill relates. Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business. When estimated future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the net assets and related goodwill, an impairment test is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. In fiscal 2008,2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $175.2 million.$4.3 million, $16.8 million and $1,169.2 million, respectively, of which $8.1 million related to discontinued operations in fiscal 2009. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of thethese charges.

 

In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimatingprimarily utilizing the future discounted cash flowsincome approach and, to a lesser extent, the market approach. The Company weighted the income approach more heavily (75%) as the income approach uses long-term estimates that consider the expected operating profit of each reporting unit during periods where residential and non-residential construction and other macroeconomic indicators are nearer historical averages. The Company believes the businesses to whichincome approach more accurately considers the goodwill relates. In determiningexpected recovery in the U.S. and European construction markets than the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the Company considers currentoverall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and projectedthe rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Estimated future levels of income as well as business trends, prospectscash flows are based on the Company’s internal projection models, industry projections and market and economic conditions.other assumptions deemed reasonable by management. Rates used to discount estimated cash flows correspond to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and are dependent upon interest rates at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Under the market approach, the Company derives the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Property, plant and equipment and other purchasedamortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Non-amortizable trade names are assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. Such analyses necessarily involve significant judgment. In fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $0.5 million, $8.8 million and $30.6 million, respectively, related to long-lived assets, of which $1.5 million related to discontinued operations in fiscal 2009.

Floor Plan Notes Payable Floor plan notes payable represent liabilities related to the purchase of commercial vehicle chassis upon which the Company mounts its manufactured vehicle bodies. Floor plan notes payable are non-interest bearing for terms ranging up to 120 days and must be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle to a customer. The Company’s practice is to repay all floor plan notes for which the non-interest bearing period has expired without sale of the vehicle to a customer.

Customer Advances Customer advances include amounts received in advance of the completion of fire & emergency and commercial vehicles. Most of these advances bear interest at variable rates approximating the prime rate. Advances also include any performance-based payments received from the DoD in excess of the value of related inventory. Advances from the DoD are non-interest bearing. See precedingthe discussion onabove regarding performance-based payments.

Foreign Currency Translation All balance sheet accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate during the period in which the transactions occurred. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)other comprehensive income (loss).” Foreign currency transactions gains or losses are included in “Miscellaneous, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.Operations. The Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains (losses)related to continuing operations of $(10.9)$0.3 million, $1.3$1.4 million and $(0.1)$5.6 million in fiscal 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 2006,2009, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts, in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or in shareholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally, changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged items that relate to the hedged risks. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes. Changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in income. Cash flows from derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow or fair value hedges are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the item being hedged.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006,June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”a new standard to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The new variable interest standard also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which defines fair value, establishesenterprise has a framework for measuring fair valuecontrolling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and expands disclosuresthe obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the new variable interest standard requires disclosure of more timely and useful information about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of exchange price as the price between market participants in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or transferenterprise’s involvement with a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.variable interest entity.

In February 2007,July 2010, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Optionamended ASC Topic 310, Receivables, to require more robust and disaggregated disclosures about the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and its allowances for credit losses. The new disclosures require additional information for nonaccrual and past due accounts, the allowance for credit losses, impaired loans, credit quality and account modifications. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements as of October 1, 2010. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial AssetsStatements for additional information.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date. Acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as acquisition costs and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No 141R will be effective for the Company on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after October 1, 2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that close prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141R would also apply the provision of SFAS No 141R. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 141R on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.

 During fiscal 2008, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation of the JLG acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As a result of additional information obtained regarding the fair value of the acquired receivables, the Company reduced the reserve for allowance for doubtful accounts by $4.0 million. The change in the reserve was recorded as a reduction of goodwill and had no effect on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Finance Receivables: Finance receivables represent sales-type leases resulting from the sale of the Company’s products.products and the purchase of finance receivables from lenders pursuant to customer defaults under program agreements with finance companies. Finance receivables originated by the Company generally include a residual value component. Residual values are determined based on the expectation that the underlying equipment will have a minimum fair market value at the end of the lease term. This residual value accrues to the Company at the end of the lease. The Company uses its experience and knowledge as an original equipment manufacturer and participant in end markets for the related products along with third-party studies to estimate residual values. The Company monitors these values for impairment on a periodic basis and reflects any resulting reductions in value in current earnings. Finance receivables are written down once management determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan in full.

        The contractualContractual maturities of the Company’s finance and pledged finance receivables at September 30, 20082011 were as follows: 2009 — $11.8 million; 2010 — $5.7 million; 2011 — $6.5 million; 2012 — $4.4- $9.9 million; 2013 — $1.7- $7.2 million; 2014 - $5.6 million; 2015 - $3.6 million; 2016 - $0.9 million; and thereafter — $2.6- $0.7 million.

Historically, finance and pledged finance receivables have been paid off prior to their contractual due dates, and asalthough actual repayment timing is impacted by a number of factors, including the economic environment at the time. As a result, the above amountscontractual maturities are not to be regarded as a forecast of future cash flows. Provisions

Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality of finance receivables. The Company maintains a general allowance for finance receivables considered doubtful of future collection based upon historical experience. Additional allowances are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the finance receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and underlying economic conditions. In circumstances where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. The terms of the finance agreements generally give the Company the ability to take possession of the underlying collateral. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers’ financial obligations is not realized. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 53% of the finance receivables were due from one party.

Notes Receivable: Notes receivable include refinancing of trade accounts and finance receivables. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 88% of the notes receivable balance outstanding was due from three parties. The Company routinely evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and establishes reserves where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured. Notes receivables are written down once management determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan in full. Certain notes receivable are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets and/or other assets owned by the debtor. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers’ financial obligations is not realized.

Quality of Finance and Notes Receivable: The Company does not accrue interest income on finance and pledgednotes receivables in circumstances where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured. Any cash payments received on nonaccrual finance receivablesand notes receivable are chargedapplied first to principal balances. The Company does not resume accrual of interest income in amounts sufficient to maintainuntil the allowance atcustomer has shown that it is capable of meeting its financial obligations by making timely payments over a level considered adequate to cover losses insustained period of time.

Inventory includes costs which are amortized to expense as sales are recognized under certain contracts. At September 30, 20082011 and 2007,2010, unamortized costs related to long-term contracts of $3.3$0.3 million and $6.1$4.1 million, respectively, were included in inventory.

During fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, reductions in FIFO inventory levels resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current-year purchases.

During the fourth quartersquarter of fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006,2011, the Company performed its annual impairment test pursuantreview relative to SFAS 142goodwill and did not identify any impairment losses.

        Due to rationalization of manufacturing facilities, inefficiencies associated with the relocation and start-up of production of Norba-branded products from Sweden to The Netherlands and increased material costs and product warranties, the Company’s European refuse collection vehicle business, Geesink, sustained a loss related to its operations of $26.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The loss was significantly more than estimated in the Company’s financial projections supporting its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter impairment test.

indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally trade names). The Company has taken steps overperformed the last 18 months to turn around the Geesink business, including selling an unprofitable facility in The Netherlands during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, reaching an agreementvaluation analyses with the Works Council in Sweden regarding rationalizing a facility in that country in order to consolidate Norba-branded production in The Netherlands, reducing its work force, installing new executive leadership, integrating operations with JLG, implementing lean manufacturing practices, introducing new products and outsourcing components to lower cost manufacturing sites. In June 2008, it became evident that synergies related to Geesink’s facility rationalization program would be lower than expected and costs to execute the rationalization would be higher than anticipated. The resulting slower than expected and more difficult return to profitability of Geesink’s business, further escalation of raw material costs, a softening of economies in Western Europe and a reduction in fabrication volume for the Company’s access equipment segment at Geesink’s Romania facility due to a slowdown in the European access equipment market led to the Company’s conclusion that a charge for impairment was required. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company took these factors into account in developing its fiscal 2009 and long-term forecast for this business. With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm,advisor. To derive the fair value of its reporting units, the Company determined that Geesinkutilized both the income and market approaches. For the annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company used a weighted-average cost of capital, depending on the reporting unit, of 13.5% to 15.0% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. Under the market approach, the Company derived the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. As a corroborative source of information, the Company reconciles its estimated fair value to within a reasonable range of its market capitalization, which includes an assumed control premium (an adjustment reflecting an estimated fair value on a control basis), to verify the reasonableness of the fair value of its reporting units obtained through the aforementioned methods. The control premium is estimated based upon control premiums observed in comparable market transactions. The Company’s analysis resulted in a control premium of 10%, based on the price of the Company’s Common Stock on July 1, 2011 of $32.95 per share. To derive the fair value of its trade names, the Company utilized the “relief from royalty” approach.

At July 1, 2011, approximately 88% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assetspurchased intangibles were impairedconcentrated within the JLG reporting unit in the access equipment segment. The estimated fair value of JLG calculated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 impairment analysis exceeded JLG’s net book value by approximately 40%, or $900 million. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy and construction spending (and hence access equipment demand) will improve beginning in fiscal 2013. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the current economic uncertainty. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results. For each additional 50 basis point increase in the discount rate, the fair value of JLG would decrease by approximately $150 million. Events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at JLG include a further decline in economic conditions, a slower or weaker economic recovery than currently estimated by the Company or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at JLG.

As a result of the Company’s annual impairment testing, the Company recorded non-cashan impairment charge of $4.8 million of goodwill and trade names within the fire & emergency segment in fiscal 2011. Based on the Company’s annual impairment review, the Company concluded that no other goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges of $167.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively,were required. Assumptions utilized in the third quarterimpairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the current period of fiscal 2008, representingeconomic uncertainty. Changes in estimates or the entire amount recorded for these assets. application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.

The evaluation was based upon a discounted cash flow analysisCompany continued to monitor the movement in the price of its Common Stock subsequent to its annual goodwill impairment testing date. The Company’s Common Stock closed at $15.74 and $20.86 per share on September 30, 2011 and October 31, 2011, respectively. The Company believes that the decrease in the price of its Common Stock from the July 1, 2011 annual impairment testing date primarily related to the market’s expectation relative to the Company’s defense segment given the uncertainty surrounding future defense spending levels by the U.S. government and market concerns related to the profitability of the historicalCompany’s FMTV contract. The defense segment contains no goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets. Therefore the Company does not believe that the decrease in the price of its Common Stock is indicative of an interim triggering event for interim goodwill impairment testing in any reporting unit with goodwill.

When determining the value of customer relationships for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an acquisition, the Company looks at existing customer contracts of the acquired business to determine if they represent a reliable future source of income and hence, a valuable intangible asset for the Company. The Company determines the fair value of the customer relationships based on the estimated future benefits the Company expects from the acquired customer contracts. In performing its evaluation and estimation of the useful lives of customer relationships, the Company looks to the historical growth rate of revenue of the acquired company’s existing customers as well as the historical attrition rates.

 

In connection with the valuation of intangible assets, a 40-year life was assigned to the value of the Pierce distribution network ($53.0 million)(net book value of $33.1 million at September 30, 2011). The Company believes Pierce maintains the largest North American fire apparatus distribution network. Pierce has exclusive contracts with each distributor related to the fire apparatus product offerings manufactured by Pierce.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable ratevariable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement on January 11,in 2007 that effectively fixes the interest payments on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt. The swap, which has a termination date of December 6, 2011, effectively fixes the variable portion of theLIBOR-based interest rate on the debt in the amount of the notional amount of the swap at 5.105% plus the applicable spread based on the terms of the Credit Agreement.Agreement (7.605% at September 30, 2011). The notional amount of the swap at September 30, 20082011 was $2.0 billion and reduces in varying amounts annually each December until the termination date. Under the terms$250 million.

A portion of the swap agreement, the notional amount of the swap will decline to $1.25 billion in December 2008.

        The swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” theThe effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative will behas been recorded in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,other comprehensive income (loss)whilein the Consolidated Balance Sheets with any ineffective portion is recorded as an adjustment to interestmiscellaneous expense. At September 30, 2008 and 2007,2011, a loss of $44.4$2.1 million ($27.31.4 million net of tax), and $18.9 million ($11.9 million, net of tax), respectively, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap, was recorded in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.other comprehensive income (loss).” The differential paid or received on the designated portion of the interest rate swap will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when the hedged, forecasted interest is recorded. Net gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness on the interest rate swap were insignificant for all periods presented.

 

Under this swap agreement, the Company will pay the counterparty interest on the notional amount at a fixed rate of 5.105% and the counterparty will pay the Company interest on the notional amount at a variable rate equal to 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate applicable to this agreement was 4.05%0.37% at September 30, 2008.2011. The notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and thus are not a measure of exposure of the Company. The amounts exchanged are normally based on the notional amounts and other terms of the swaps. The variable rates are subject to change over time as 3-month LIBOR fluctuates. Neither the Company nor the counterparty which is a prominent financial institution, are required to collateralize their respectiveits obligations under these swaps. The Company is exposed to loss if the counterparty defaults, but the Company has no knowledge of any risk of counterparty default as of the date of this filing.

 The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company guarantees the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement to the extent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is also secured by a first-priority, perfected lien and security interests in all of the equity interests of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of each material foreign subsidiary of the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company; subject to certain customary, permitted lien exceptions, substantially all other personal property of the Company and certain subsidiaries; and all proceeds thereof.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including (1) requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels;levels and (2) restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, and dispose of assets.assets, consummate acquisitions and make investments in joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2008.

        There are scenarios under which the Company could fall out of compliance with the financial covenants contained in its credit agreement. However, the Company is proceeding with a plan withCredit Agreement as of September 30, 2011 and expects to be able to meet the objective of avoiding the need to amend the credit agreement by maintaining compliance with its financial covenants or at least delay seeking an amendment to mitigate the financial impact. The plan involves targeting $500 million or more of debt reduction in fiscal 2009 and maintaining strong fiscal management. If the Company is not successful in delivering the higher end of its earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and timely debt reduction of $500 million or more, then the Company will need to request an amendment to its credit agreement. In the event that the Company would need to amend its credit agreement, the Company would likely incur substantial up front fees and significantly higher interest costs than reflectedcontained in the Company’s earnings per share estimate range for fiscal 2009 and other terms inCredit Agreement over the amendment would likely be significantly less favorable than those in the Company’s current Credit Agreement.

12. Warranty and Guarantee Arrangements

Warranties

 

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer. Amounts expensedWarranty costs recorded in continuing operations were $67.9$31.1 million, $57.2$83.8 million and $42.3$47.5 million in fiscal 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 2006,2009, respectively.

 

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were as follows (in millions):

September 30,
2008
2007
Balance at beginning of year  $88.2 $56.9

Acquisitions   --  20.8 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (0.1) 0.8 


Balance at end of year  $88.3 $88.2 


 Liabilities for pre-existing warranty claims decreased by $3.2 million in fiscal 2008 generally as a result of the expiration of a systemic warranty during the period on a billion dollar, multi-year contract in the defense segment. The decrease in the liability for pre-existing warranties in fiscal 2007 was principally due to favorable performance in the defense segment and lower field warranty campaigns in the fire & emergency and commercial segments. Actual warranty claims experience in the defense segment has generally declined since the start of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. Actual M-ATV warranty claims have been lower than the Company expected on the M-ATV product launch, which resulted in reductions in liabilities for pre-existing warranties in fiscal 2011. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. For example, accelerated programs to design, test, manufacture and deploy products such as the M-ATV in war-time conditions carry with them an increased level of inherent risk of product or component failure. It is reasonably possible that additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scopein excess of amounts accrued; however, any such amounts, while not determinable, would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s historical experience.consolidated financial condition, result of operations or cash flows.

13.Guarantee Arrangements

In the fire & emergency segment, the Company provides guarantees of certain customers’ obligations under deferred payment contracts and lease payment agreements to third parties. Guarantees provided prior to February 1, 2008 are limited to $1.0 million per year in total. In January 2008, the Company entered into a new guarantee arrangement. Under this arrangement, guarantees are limited to $3.0 million per year for contracts signed after February 1, 2008. These guarantees are mutually exclusive and, until the portfolio under the $1.0 million guarantee is repaid, the Company has exposure of up to $4.0 million per year. Both guarantees are supported by the residual value of the underlying equipment. The Company’s actual losses under these guarantees over the last ten years have been negligible. In accordance with FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,”, the Company has recorded the fair value of all such guarantees issued after January 1, 2003 as a liability and a reduction of the initial revenue recognized on the sale of equipment. Liabilities accrued since January 1, 2003 for such guarantees for all periods presented were not significant.insignificant.

 

In the access equipment segment, the Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guarantees $161.5an aggregate of $141.1 million in indebtedness of others, including $155.9$125.2 million under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under loss pool agreements related to both finance receivable monetizations and third-party debt.these contracts was $52.8 million at September 30, 2011. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, to take possession of the underlying collateral. At September 30, 2008, the Company had recorded $4.7 million of liabilities related to these agreements. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resultingand result in an impairment of their abilityinability to make payments, then additional accruals may be required. While the Company believes it is unlikely that it woulddoes not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the customers’third party’s inability to meet their obligations, and inobligations. In the event that this occurs, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of thosethe amounts reserved. Any losses under these guarantees would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral, including financed equipment, and are generally subject to the finance company’s ability to provide the Company clear title to foreclosed equipment and other conditions. During anperiods of economic downturn,weakness, collateral values generally decline and can contribute to higher exposure to losses.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company has used forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“derivatives”) to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions. These derivatives typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate at a future date. At times, the Company has designated these hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value Hedging Strategy The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from risk that the eventual U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows from the sale of products to international customers will be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy To protect against an increase in the cost of forecasted purchases of foreign-sourced component parts payable in Euro, the Company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted purchases denominated in Euro with forward contracts. When the U.S. dollar weakens against the Euro, increased foreign currency payments are offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro, reduced foreign currency payments are offset by losses in the value of the forward contracts.

 

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges.

To manage a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest payments on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt.

The swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings. During the years ended September 30, 2008fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2007, $23.32009, $16.6 million, $41.6 million and $48.3 million of expense, and $4.7 million of income, respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of incomeOperations as amortization of interest rate derivative gains and losses. At September 30, 2008, $44.42011, $2.1 million of net unrealized losses remainremained deferred in accumulated“Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the interest rate swap.

 At September 30, 2008, forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 was insignificant.

The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to create an economic hedge to manage foreign currency exchange risk exposure generally associated with non-functional currency denominated payables resulting from global sourcing activities. The Company has not designated these derivative contracts as hedge transactions under SFAS No. 133,ASC Topic 815, and accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period in current earnings. The fair value of foreign currency related derivatives is included in the Consolidated Balance SheetSheets in “Other current assets” and “Other current liabilities”.liabilities.” At September 30, 2008,2011, the U.S. dollar equivalent of these outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts totaled $385.7$154.5 million in notional amounts, including $214.1$69.1 million in contracts to sell Euro, $59.0$65.0 million in contracts to sell Romanian Lei to purchase Euros, and $56.4Australian dollars, $18.2 million in contracts to sell U.K. pounds sterling to purchase Euros,and buy Euro with the remaining contracts covering a variety of foreign currencies. The mark-to-market impact related to the above forward contracts at September 30, 2008 was a net gain of $0.1 million, which is included in “Miscellaneous, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income along with mark-to-market adjustments on outstanding non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables.

15.          Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3:Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions):

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a

nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets, including investments in affiliates, which are written down to fair value as a result of impairment (see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for impairments of long-lived assets and Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for impairments of intangible assets). The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to each of these assets rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 20062009 was $4.7$1.5 million, $4.9$0.6 million and $3.3$1.0 million, respectively.

Performance Share Awards In fiscal 20082011, 2010 and 2007,2009, the Company granted certain executives awards for an aggregate of 50,100144,000, 75,000 and 50,500134,500 performance shares, respectively, that vest at the end of the third fiscal year following the grant date. Executives earn performance shares only if the Company’s total shareholder return over the three years compares favorably to that of a comparator group of companies. As of September 30, 2011, 371,800 performance shares remain outstanding. Potential payouts range from zero to 200 percent of the target awards.

The grant date fair values of the 2008 performance share awards were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing the following weighted averageweighted-average assumptions:

The Company used the Company’sits historical stock prices as the basis for the Company’s volatility assumption. The assumed risk-free rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The expected lifeterm is based on the vesting period (term).period. The weighted averageweighted-average fair value for performance share awards granted during fiscal 20082011, 2010 and 20072009 was $7.04$9.75, $13.88 and $35.12,$17.26 per award, respectively. Compensation expense of $0.6$1.1 million, $1.4 million and $0.1$0.6 million related to performance share awards was recorded in fiscal 20082011, 2010 and 2007,2009, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.Operations.

16. Earnings Per Share

 The following table sets forth

Stock Appreciation Rights In fiscal 2011, the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares used inCompany granted 441,000 cash-settled SARs to employees. Each SAR award represents the denominatorright to receive cash equal to the excess of the per share calculations:

Fiscal Year Ended September 30,
2008
2007
2006
Basic weighted average shares outstanding   74,007,989  73,562,307  73,159,887 
Effect of dilutive stock options and  
    incentive compensation awards   828,207  1,268,524  1,239,991 



Diluted weighted average shares outstanding   74,836,196  74,830,831  74,399,878 



        Options to purchase 1,446,598, 749,750 and 26,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the options was greater thanCompany’s Common Stock on the average marketdate that a participant exercises such right over the grant date price of the sharesCompany’s Common Stock. Compensation cost for SARs is remeasured at each reporting period based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, utilizing assumptions similar to stock option awards and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. SARs are subsequently remeasured at each interim reporting period based on a revised Black Scholes value. Upon vesting, the fair value of outstanding SARs will be equal to its intrinsic value.

Compensation expense related to SAR awards of $0.2 million in fiscal 2011 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $3.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to SAR awards, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units In fiscal 2011, the Company granted 269,000 cash-settled RSUs to employees. Each RSU award provides recipients the right to receive cash equal to the value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at predetermined vesting dates. Compensation cost for RSUs is remeasured at each reporting period and thereforeis recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to RSUs of $0.1 million in fiscal 2011 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $4.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

18.          Restructuring and Other Charges

As part of the Company’s actions to rationalize and optimize its global manufacturing footprint and in an effort to streamline operations, the Company announced in September 2010 that it was closing two JerrDan manufacturing facilities and relocating towing and recovery equipment production to other underutilized access equipment segment facilities. The Company largely completed these actions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result of the Company’s plan to put a leased facility back into use, the previously accrued liability for lease termination costs of $2.8 million was reversed to income in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

In October 2010, the Company announced that its fire & emergency segment would have been anti-dilutive.be closing its Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles manufacturing facilities and integrating those operations into existing operations in Florida. The Company largely completed this action in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

In January 2011, the Company initiated a plan to address continued weak market conditions in its access equipment segment in Europe. The plan included the consolidation of certain facilities and other cost reduction initiatives resulting in reductions in its workforce in Europe. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded statutorily or contractually required termination benefit costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the works councils on certain details of the plan, including the number of employees that will ultimately receive severance. As a result of employees voluntarily leaving the Company, the accrual was reduced throughout the remainder of fiscal 2011.

In January 2011, the Company announced that its fire & emergency segment would close its Medtec Ambulance Corporation manufacturing facilities and integrate those operations into existing operations in Florida. The Company largely completed this action in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

In June 2011, the Company announced that its defense segment was closing its Oakes, North Dakota fabrication facility and consolidating operations into other existing Oshkosh facilities. Operations at Oakes concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at September 30, 20082011 are prior service costs of $1.3$2.3 million ($0.81.5 million net of tax) and unrecognized net actuarial losses of $2.4$7.3 million ($1.44.6 million net of tax) expected to be recognized in pension and SERPsupplemental employee retirement plan net periodic benefit costs during the year ended September 30, 2009.fiscal 2012.

 

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the Company was 8.5%9.0% in fiscal 2008,2011, declining to 5.5% in fiscal 2014.2018. If the health care cost trend rate was increased by 1%,100 basis points, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 20082011 would increase by $3.7$10.4 million and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 20082011 would increase by $0.6$1.9 million. A corresponding decrease of 1%100 basis points would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 20082011 by $3.3$8.6 million and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 20082011 would decrease by $0.5$1.6 million.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has appointed an Investment Committee (“Committee”) to manage the investment of the Company’s pension plan assets. The Committee has established and operates under an Investment Policy. The Committee determines the asset allocation and target ranges based upon periodic asset/liability studies and capital market projections. The Committee retains external investment managers to invest the assets and an advisor to monitor the performance of the investment managers. The Investment Policy prohibits certain investment transactions, such as commodity contracts, margin transactions, short selling and investments in Company securities, unless the Committee gives prior approval.

The plans’ investment strategy is based on an expectation that, over time, equity securities will provide higher total returns than debt securities. The plans primarily minimize the risk of large losses through diversification of investments by asset class, by investing in different styles of investment management within the classes and by using a number of different investment managers. The Committee monitors the asset allocation and investment performance monthly, with a more comprehensive quarterly review with its advisor and annual reviews with each investment manager.

 

The plans’ expected return on assets is based on management’s and the Committee’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the plans’ investments. These expectations are based on the plans’ historical returns and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested.

The change in the fair value of the Master Pension Trust’s Level 3 investment assets during fiscal 2011 was not significant.

The Company’s policy is to fund the pension plans in amounts that comply with contribution limits imposed by law. The Company expects to contribute approximately $5.0 million to $10.0$40.0 million to its pension plans and an additional $2.5$3.0 million to its postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2009.2012. However, due to significant declines in global financial market conditions,based on returns on the plans’ investments and the Company’s cash flows, the Company may be required to make additional contributionscontribute more than these ranges in fiscal 2009. 2012 to reduce the underfunded status of certain plans.

In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a $2.7 million benefit due to the reinstatement of the U.S. research & development tax credit for periods prior to fiscal 2011. The fiscal 2010 research & development tax credit included only one-fourth of the annual benefit because of the timing of the credit reinstatement. During fiscal 2010, the Company settled a number of income tax audits which resulted in a $15.4 million reduction in fiscal 2010 income tax expense, of which $11.5 million related to acquisition tax contingencies.

The Company is party to a tax incentive agreement (“incentive”) covering certain of its European operations. The incentive provides for a reduction in the Company’s effective income tax rate through allowable deductions that are subject to recapture to the extent that certain conditions are not met, including a requirement to have minimum cumulative operating income over a multiple-year period ending in fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2008 and 2007, as a resultThe Company recorded (income recapture) tax deductions under the incentive of this incentive, the Company recognized €40.2€7.8 million, €(15.9) million and €16.5€(38.7) million of deductions,in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which resulted in a $20.9additional (tax) benefit of $3.7 million, $(7.3) million and $7.5$(17.3) million reduction, respectively, in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

should certain minimum income taxes.and other requirements not be met. Should the Company reach the maximum level of cumulative operating income under thisthe incentive, aggregate additional unbenefitted deductions of €56.8€103.5 million would be available to offset the Company’s future taxable income, although the amount of deductions allowed in any particular tax year are limited by the incentive.

 

In fiscal 2009, the Company made an election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to treat Windmill Ventures, the Company’s European holding company parent of Geesink, as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, the Company recorded a $71.5 million worthless stock/bad debt income tax benefit, of which $10.5 million related to Windmill Ventures continuing operations and $61.0 million related to Geesink and BAI and has been included in discontinued operations.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that are intended to be permanently reinvested. At September 30, 2008,2011, these earnings amounted to $172.6$42.0 million. If these earnings were repatriated to the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay U.S. Federalfederal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these earnings is not practicable.

 The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a $2.9 million charge to retained earnings as of October 1, 2007 and the reclassification of $30.0 million in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet from income taxes payable to other long-term assets and long-term liabilities of $6.2 million and $36.2 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2008,2011, the Company’s liability for gross uncertainunrecognized tax positions,benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, was $54.4 million. As of September 30, 2011, net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was $59.7 million. Excluding interest and penalties, net unrecognized tax benefits of $19.7$43.4 million would affect the Company’s effectivenet income if recognized, $23.3 million of which would impact net income from continuing operations.

Securities Class Action — On September 19, 2008, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint seeking certification of a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin docketed as Iron Workers Local No. 25 Pension Fund on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated v. Oshkosh Corporation and Robert G. Bohn. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially inadequate disclosures and material omissions leading to the Company’s issuance of revised earnings guidance and announcement of an impairment charge on June 26, 2008. Since the initial lawsuit, other suits containing substantially similar allegations were filed (all suits hereafter referred to as the “Actions”). The Company believes the Actions to be entirely without merit and plans to vigorously defend against the Actions.

Environmental- As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles or reclaims certain industrial waste materials, chemicals and solvents at third-party disposal and recycling facilities, which are licensed by appropriate governmental agencies. In some instances, these facilities have been and may be designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency for remediation. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state laws, each potentially responsible party (“PRP”) that contributed hazardous substances may be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with cleaning up these sites. Typically, PRPs negotiate a resolution with the EPA and/or the state environmental agencies. PRPs also negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup costs. The Company has been named a PRP with regard to three multiple-party sites. Based on current estimates, the Company believes its liability at these sites will not be material and any responsibility of the Company is adequately covered through established reserves.

        The Company is addressing a regional trichloroethylene (“TCE”) groundwater plume on the south side of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Company believes there may be multiple sources of TCE in the area. TCE was detected at the Company’s North Plant facility with testing showing the highest concentrations in a monitoring well located on the upgradient property line. Because the investigation process is still ongoing, it is not possible for the Company to estimate its long-term total liability associated with this issue at this time. Also, as part of the regional TCE groundwater investigation, the Company conducted a groundwater investigation of a former landfill located on Company property. The landfill, acquired by the Company in 1972, is approximately 2.0 acres in size and is believed to have been used for the disposal of household waste. Based on the investigation, the Company does not believe the landfill is one of the sources of the TCE contamination. Based upon current knowledge, the Company believes its liability associated with the TCE issue will not be material and is adequately covered through reserves established by the Company. However, this may change as investigations proceed by the Company, other unrelated property owners, and the government.

        At September 30, 2008 and 2007, theThe Company had reserves of $3.9$2.1 million and $4.1$1.9 million respectively, for losses related to environmental matters that arewere probable and estimable.estimable at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materiallymaterial adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Personal Injury Actions and Other - Product and general liability claims arise against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company is generally self-insured for future claims up to $3.0 million per claim. Accordingly, a reserve is maintained for the estimated costs of such claims. At September 30, 20082011 and 2007,2010, the reserve for product and general liability claims was $47.3$41.7 million and $51.6$44.4 million, respectively, based on available information. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled claims. Management, however, believes that any losses in excess of established reserves will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Market Risks - The Company iswas contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds totaling $283.4$284.0 million and open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties totaling $23.8$27.9 million at September 30, 2008.2011.

Other Matters - The Company is subject to other environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

 

On January 8, 2010, Control Solutions LLC (“Control Solutions”) brought suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for breach of express contract, breach of implied-in-fact contract, unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel related to the Company’s contract to supply the DoD with M-ATVs. Control Solutions has asserted damages in the amount of $190.3 million. On October 3, 2011, following written and oral discovery, the Company moved for summary judgment. On that same date, Control Solutions filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. The Company’s and Control Solutions’ response briefs have been filed with the Court. While this case is in the early stages of litigation and its outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this claim will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

At September 30, 2008,2011, approximately 26% of the Company’s workforce was covered under collective bargaining agreements.

Certain risks are inherent in doing business with the DoD, including technological changes and changes in levels of defense spending. All DoD contracts contain a provision that they may be terminated at any time at the convenience of the government. In such an event, the Company is entitled to recover allowable costs plus a reasonable profit earned to the date of termination.

 

Major contracts for military systems are performed over extended periods of time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules. Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over prolonged periods of time. The Company’s ultimate profitability on such contracts may depend on the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of contractual issues with the Company’s customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Because the Company is a relatively large defense contractor, the Company’s government contract operations are subject to extensive annual audit processes and to U.S. government investigations of business practices and cost classifications from which legal or administrative proceedings can result. Based on government procurement regulations, under certain circumstances a contractor canthe Company could be fined, as well as suspended or debarred from government contracting. In that event,During a suspension or debarment, the Company would also be prohibited from selling equipment or services to customers that depend on loans or financial commitments from the Export Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation and similar government agencies duringagencies.

In August 2009, the DoD awarded the Company the contract to be the sole producer of FMTVs under the U.S. Army’s FMTV Rebuy program. This was an important contract for the Company to win due to high unfulfilled requirements of the DoD’s authorized acquisition objective (or maximum acquisition quantity) under the FMTV program, while the Company’s FHTV program was nearing fulfillment of its authorized acquisition objective. After a suspension or debarment.lengthy protest, the DoD ordered trucks in the first contract year at a level approximately three times higher than the likely amount communicated by the DoD in the request for proposal due to favorable pricing on the program and prior to a scheduled contractual price increase. As a result, when the Company initiated production, the Company incurred higher than planned costs to hire and train more than 500 additional employees than anticipated and was required to purchase additional equipment and tooling, as well as deliver vehicles at lower pricing than expected. The Company also experienced issues associated with building to the DoD’s technical data package, which did not accurately reflect the current configuration of the trucks and trailers, and complying with new requirements in the contract, among other issues. The Company began delivering vehicles under this contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. While the Company worked through these issues, it incurred unplanned start-up costs of $43.0 million in fiscal 2011 and reported a total loss on the contract for the year of $44.4 million. The Company expects to continue to incur costs in excess of revenues on the FMTV contract through the first quarter of fiscal 2012, although at amounts lower than in fiscal 2011, but expects its FMTV sales beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to be profitable. The Company has eleven integrated project teams working to improve its performance on this contract. This is a top priority for management and is increasingly important as FMTV sales rise as a percentage of total defense sales in fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

The Company expects that FMTV program revenues for production beyond September 30, 2011 on orders received to-date will exceed expected costs and, therefore, has not recorded a charge for a loss contract. In evaluating the profitability under the FMTV contract, it is necessary to estimate future material and production costs. Management cost assumptions include estimates for future increases in the costs of materials, reductions in ramp-up costs, targeted cost savings and production efficiencies. There are inherent uncertainties related to these estimates. Small changes in estimates can have a significant impact on profitability under the contract. For example, a 1% escalation in material costs over the Company’s projection for FMTV orders currently in backlog would increase the cost of materials by approximately $24 million. Although this amount is less than the expected future profitability, it would significantly reduce the expected future gross margins on orders currently in backlog. It is possible that other assumptions underlying the analysis could change in such a manner that the Company would determine in the future that this is a loss contract, which could result in a material charge to earnings.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresProcedures.. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chairman of the BoardPresident and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2008.2011. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chairman of the BoardPresident and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20082011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s ChairmanPresident and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2008,2011, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective based on that framework.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued an auditattestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008,2011, which is included herein.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The attestation report required under this Item 9A is contained in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingReporting.. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20082011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
