NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly owned domestic and international subsidiaries and majority-owned joint ventures (collectively, "Hyster-Yale" or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. ("HYG"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks, attachments and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, China, Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, the Philippines, Italy, Japan and Vietnam. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned a 90% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal").

The Company operates Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni"). Bolzoni is a leading worldwide producer and distributor of attachments, forks and lift tables marketed under the Bolzoni®, Auramo® and Meyer® brand names. Bolzoni also produces components for lift truck manufacturers. Bolzoni products are manufactured in the United States, Italy, China, Germany and Finland. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni has a strong presence in the market niche of lift truck attachments and industrial material handling.

The Company operates Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on the design, manufacture and sale of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and engines.

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

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Note 3—Revenue

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the trucks, parts or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 10 for further information on product warranties.

The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided.

The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained.

For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8

The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported on the line “Cost of sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table disaggregates revenue by category:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED

	Lift truck business
	Americas		EMEA		JAPIC		Bolzoni		Nuvera		Elims		Total
Dealer sales	$	364.1	$	177.1	$	40.8	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	582.0
Direct customer sales	122.5		2.5		—		—		—		—		125.0
Aftermarket sales	181.8		28.9		7.0		—		—		—		217.7
Other	17.5		6.4		0.1		98.6		1.6		(49.6)		74.6
Total Revenues	$	685.9	$	214.9	$	47.9	$	98.6	$	1.6	$	(49.6)	$	999.3

Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealer. The majority of direct customer sales are to National Account customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Aftermarket sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Bolzoni revenue from external customers is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. In the United States, Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of lift truck components to the lift truck business. Nuvera's revenues include development funding from third-party agreements and the sale of fuel cell stacks and engines to third parties and the lift truck business. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price. The amount of consideration received and the revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni, Nuvera and the lift truck business have been eliminated.

Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer.

	Deferred Revenue
Balance, December 31, 2023	$	92.5
Customer deposits and billings	13.5
Revenue recognized	(25.1)
Foreign currency effect	(0.2)
Balance, March 31, 2024	$	80.7

These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business.

The Company reports the results of both Bolzoni and Nuvera as separate segments. Intercompany sales between Nuvera, Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated.

Operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss. Financial information for each reportable segment is presented in the following table:

Note 5—Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is generally based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's annual earnings or losses, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings or losses will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, carrybacks, capital loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or the tax effect of other unusual or nonrecurring transactions or adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Additionally, the Company's interim effective income tax rate is computed and applied without regard to pre-tax losses where such losses are not expected to generate a current-year tax benefit.

10

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the reported income tax rate is as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED
	MARCH 31
		2024			2023
Income before income taxes		$	76.9		$	35.9
Statutory taxes (21%)		$	16.1		$	7.5
Interim adjustment		0.2			(0.3)
Permanent adjustments:
Valuation allowance		5.3			(0.4)
Other		3.4			1.7
Discrete items		0.1			0.2
Income tax expense		$	25.1		$	8.7
Reported income tax rate		32.6		%	24.2		%

In 2024, the Company’s reported income tax rate for the current year differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of recording an additional valuation allowance attributable to the capitalization of research and development expenses under current U.S. tax rules.

In 2023, the Company's reported income tax rate assumed that a significant portion of its net operating loss carryforwards would be utilized in 2023 along with the release of the associated valuation allowances. This release was offset by the capitalization of research and development expenses under U.S. tax rules for which a valuation allowance was provided. The net of these items is included in the valuation allowance line in the table above.

Note 7—Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account company credit risk. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of

11

revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $448.1 million and $447.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $466.7 million and $464.0 million, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales.

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

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Company's interest rate swap agreements and the associated variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense.

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

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

The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $0.6 billion at March 31, 2024, primarily denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, U.S. dollars, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos, and Australian dollars. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $0.9 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily denominated in euros, Japanese yen, U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $24.0 million and $12.2 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at March 31, 2024, $26.1 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at March 31, 2024 is expected to be reclassified as expense into the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.

Interest Rate Derivatives: The Company holds certain contracts that hedge interest payments on its $225.0 million term loan borrowings. In addition, the Company holds certain contracts that hedge interest payments on Bolzoni's debt.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates, excluding spreads, and remaining terms of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Notional Amount				Average Fixed Rate
MARCH 31		DECEMBER 31		MARCH 31		DECEMBER 31
2024		2023		2024		2023		Term at March 31, 2024

$	6.2	$	7.5	0.56	%	0.51	%	Extending to May 2027

The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $13.6 million and $11.9 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at March 31, 2024, $6.5 million of the amount included in OCI as net deferred gain is expected to be reclassified as income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements.

Note 8—Retirement Benefit Plans

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

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

The Company presents the components of net periodic pension expense (benefit), other than service cost, in other (income) expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for its pension plans. Service cost for the Company's pension plan is reported in operating profit. The components of pension (income) expense are set forth below:

Note 9—Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:

	MARCH 31 2024		DECEMBER 31 2023
Finished goods and service parts	$	453.5	$	395.9
Work in process	35.2		39.2
Raw materials	448.1		471.5
Total manufactured inventories	936.8		906.6
LIFO reserve	(94.9)		(90.9)
Total inventory	$	841.9	$	815.7

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory or lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 52% and 49%, respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method, which consists primarily of manufactured inventories, including service parts, for the lift truck business in the United States. The FIFO method is used with respect to all other inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 10—Product Warranties

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

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

The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims and the cost of those claims based on historical and anticipated costs.

15

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

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

	2024
Balance at December 31, 2023	$	68.1
Current year warranty expense	14.5
Change in estimate related to pre-existing warranties	(0.1)
Payments made	(8.8)
Foreign currency effect	(0.5)
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	73.2

Note 11—Contingencies

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

Note 12—Guarantees

Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range from one to five years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $161.6 million and $162.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at March 31, 2024 was approximately $218.4 million based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks. The Company also regularly monitors the external credit ratings of the entities for which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with WF to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $33.2 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $14.0 million as of March 31, 2024. The $33.2 million is included in the $161.6 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2024.

Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At March 31, 2024, approximately $152.5 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $161.6 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At March 31, 2024, loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $1.3 billion. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $268.5 million, the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $152.5 million. Excluding the HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from HYGFS’ loans to WF, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to WF is $241.8 million, which is secured by 20% of HYGFS' customer receivables and other secured assets of $310.1 million.

16

HYGFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past, and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause HYGFS to default in future periods.

Note 13—Equity and Debt Investments

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

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

The Company's percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in HYGFS and SN is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's equity investments are included on the line “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

First Quarter of 2024 Compared with First Quarter of 2023

The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023:

	Revenues
			Lift Truck
	HY		Americas		EMEA		JAPIC
2023	$	999.3	$	685.9	$	214.9	$	47.9
Increase (decrease) in 2024 from:
Price	58.2		47.5		10.7		—
Foreign currency	6.0		0.8		5.8		(0.6)
Unit volume and product mix	(10.6)		26.9		(29.9)		(7.6)
Parts	(10.2)		(5.2)		(2.8)		(2.2)
Bolzoni revenues	(2.4)		—		—		—

Eliminations	2.6		—		—		—
2024	$	1,056.5	$	769.7	$	199.4	$	37.7

Revenues increased 5.7% to $1,056.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $999.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in Lift Truck revenues was primarily due to improved pricing, partially offset by a decline in unit shipments, which more than offset a favorable shift in sales to higher-priced lift trucks, as well as lower parts volumes in the Americas and EMEA. The shift in sales to higher-priced lift trucks was mainly as a result of increased sales in the Americas of Class 4 and higher-priced/higher-capacity, 4- to 52-ton, Class 5 internal combustion engine lift trucks.

Bolzoni's revenues decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the planned phase-out of low-margin legacy component sales.

20

The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit (loss) for the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023:

	Operating Profit (Loss)
			Lift Truck
	HY		Americas		EMEA		JAPIC
2023	$	42.6	$	47.5	$	2.6	$	(2.3)
Increase (decrease) in 2024 from:
Lift truck gross profit	60.4		56.9		7.0		(3.9)
Lift truck selling, general and administrative expenses	(18.5)		(14.8)		(4.4)		0.7
Nuvera operations	0.4		—		—		—
Bolzoni operations	(1.1)		—		—		—
2024	$	83.8	$	89.6	$	5.2	$	(5.5)

The Company recognized operating profit of $83.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $42.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in Lift Truck operating profit was primarily due to improved gross profit from higher pricing of $58.2 million, mainly in the Americas and EMEA, and favorable material costs in the Americas, partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies tied to lower production volumes and lower parts volumes. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to increased employee-related costs, including incentive compensation, as well as higher product development and marketing costs.

Operating profit in the Americas increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, mainly as a result of improved gross profit from higher pricing of $47.5 million and favorable material costs. These increases were partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies tied to lower production volumes and lower parts sales. In addition, operating profit was unfavorably impacted by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily related to increased employee-related costs, including incentive compensation, and higher product development and marketing costs.

EMEA's operating profit increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, primarily from higher gross profit from improved pricing of $10.7 million and a shift in sales to higher-margin lift trucks. The increase was partially offset by lower unit and parts volume and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The operating loss in JAPIC increased to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, mainly due to higher warranty costs and lower production volumes.

Bolzoni's operating profit decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses which more than offset an improvement in gross profit.

The operating loss at Nuvera decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, mainly due to third-party funding to reimburse certain expenses.

The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $51.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $26.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The improvement was primarily the result of higher operating profit, partially offset by increased income tax expense, mainly from a higher effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023. This higher rate was due to the continued capitalization of research and development expenditures for U.S. tax purposes combined with the Company's inability to record deferred tax assets on its balance sheet given its U.S. valuation allowance position. See Note 5 of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company's income tax provision.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

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

	2024		2023		Change

Accounts payable and other liabilities	14.8		25.4		(10.6)
Other current assets	(7.7)		(7.4)		(0.3)
Net cash provided by operating activities	22.4		9.0		13.4
Investing activities:
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment	(7.5)		(3.3)		(4.2)
Proceeds from the sale of assets and business	0.5		1.5		(1.0)
Purchase of noncontrolling interest	—		(3.2)		3.2
Net cash used for investing activities	(7.0)		(5.0)		(2.0)
Cash flow before financing activities	$	15.4	$	4.0	$	11.4

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of higher net income partially offset by changes in assets and liabilities. The changes were mainly due to a larger increase in accounts receivable during the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023 mainly due to lower shipment levels in JAPIC which began in 2023 and a change in the timing of payments in EMEA.

The change in net cash used for investing activities during the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023 was mainly due to higher capital expenditures in 2024 partially offset by the absence of Bolzoni's purchase of a noncontrolling interest in 2023.

	2024		2023		Change
Financing activities:
Net increase (decrease) of long-term debt and revolving credit agreements	$	(15.7)	$	3.2	$	(18.9)
Cash dividends paid	(5.7)		(5.6)		(0.1)
Purchase of treasury stock	(9.1)		(0.1)		(9.0)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(30.5)	$	(2.5)	$	(28.0)

The change in net cash used for financing activities was primarily due to debt repayments during the first quarter of 2024 compared with additional borrowings in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, the Company purchased treasury stock in the first quarter of 2024 related to employee-related incentive stock compensation plans.

Financing Activities

The Company has a $325.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that expires in June 2026 and a $225.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which matures in May 2028. The Facility included a $25.0 million tranche ("FILO Loans") which terminated on May 1, 2024. Commencing December 1, 2023, the $25.0 million tranche amortized on a monthly basis in the amount of $4.2 million per month. At March 31, 2024, $8.3 million was outstanding.

22

The Facility can be increased up to $400.0 million over the term of the Facility in minimum increments of $10.0 million, subject to approval by the lenders. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a first priority lien on working capital assets of the borrowers and guarantors in the Facility, which includes but is not limited to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory, and a second priority lien on the present and future shares of capital stock, fixtures and general intangibles consisting of intellectual property. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2024.

The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company subject to certain thresholds, as provided in the Facility. The Facility limits the payment of dividends and other restricted payments the Company may make unless certain total excess availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio thresholds, each as set forth in the Facility, are satisfied. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio when total excess availability is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base, as defined in the Facility, and $20.0 million. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.

Key terms of the Facility as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

	LOANS OTHER THAN FILO LOANS			FILO LOANS			TOTAL FACILITY

The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments on the last day of each March, June, September and December, which commenced September 30, 2021, in an amount equal to $562,500 and the final principal repayment is due in May 2028. The Company may also be required to make mandatory prepayments, in certain circumstances, as provided in the Term Loan.

The obligations under the Term Loan are generally secured by a first priority lien on the present and future shares of capital stock, material real property, fixtures and general intangibles consisting of intellectual property and a second priority lien on U.S. working capital assets of the borrowers and guarantors of the Facility, which includes, but is not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Term Loan was $900 million as of March 31, 2024.

In addition, the Term Loan includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company subject to certain thresholds, as provided in the Term Loan. The Term Loan limits the payment of dividends and other restricted payments the Company may make in any fiscal year, unless the consolidated total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan, does not exceed 2.50 to 1.00 at the time of the payment. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Term Loan.

23

Key terms of the Term Loan as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

	TERM LOAN
Outstanding	$	218.8
Discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees	3.1
Net amount outstanding	$	215.7
Applicable margins, as defined in agreement
U.S. base rate loans	2.50%
SOFR	3.50%
SOFR adjustment, as defined in agreement	0.11%
SOFR floor	0.50%
Applicable interest rate, for amounts outstanding	8.94%

The Company had other debt outstanding, excluding finance leases, of approximately $166.6 million at March 31, 2024. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility of $237.4 million, the Company had remaining availability of $31.8 million related to other non-U.S. revolving credit agreements at March 31, 2024.

The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, the Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the Facility in June 2026.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

Since December 31, 2023, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of the Company's contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported on page 24 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

OUTLOOK AND PERSPECTIVES

Market Commentary

In Q1 2024, the global economy remained strong overall. However, while recessionary concerns have declined, political unrest continues to create uncertainty for the global economic outlook.

The latest publicly available lift truck market data indicates that Q4 2023 global lift truck market bookings increased by 14% year-over-year, with improvements in the EMEA and JAPIC markets offsetting a moderate decrease in the Americas. For full-year 2023, the global lift truck market new unit bookings decreased by 4% compared to an exceptionally strong 2022, with JAPIC market improvements more than offset by decreases in the Americas and EMEA markets. 2023 bookings exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

The Company estimates that Q1 2024 global lift truck bookings moderated compared to relatively strong prior year levels. The decline was largely due to estimated decreases in the Americas market as well as in EMEA.

Full-year 2024 global lift truck market unit volumes are projected to remain strong compared to pre-pandemic levels, but decrease moderately compared to 2023, with the second half in North America expected to be stronger than the first half.

Consolidated Outlook

At the consolidated level, the Company expects 2024 full-year revenue, operating profit and net income to increase compared to strong 2023 levels, and be higher than expected at the time of the Q4 2023 earnings release. Due to the better-than-expected Q1 2024 results and anticipated improvements in the following quarters, full-year 2024 results are expected to improve compared to the Company's prior 2024 expectations. However, the Company expects the 2024 income tax rate to be higher than 2023, largely due to the capitalization of research and development expenses.

In Q2 2024, the Company anticipates continued strong product margins from lift truck shipments of higher-priced, higher-margin backlog units will drive year-over-year profit growth. Q2 2024 profits are expected to be significantly higher than Q2 2023 levels but modestly lower than the better-than-expected Q1 2024 results. This decrease is expected to be due to the potential expiration of Section 301 tariff exemptions on May 31, 2024.

For full-year 2024, continued progress is expected toward the Company's 7% operating profit margin goal in its core Lift Truck and Bolzoni businesses, and achievement of a second year at 20% plus return on its total capital employed goal. The Company started the year off with very strong first-quarter results that exceeded expected levels. While, the Company is committed to systematic and sustainable progress toward its goals over time, it expects results to moderate somewhat over the remaining 2024 quarters.

The Company is also committed to reducing leverage and improving cash flows. The Company continues to focus on decreasing working capital, particularly by further improving inventory levels despite increased production rates in the context of reduced supply chain and labor constraints. Capital expenditures are expected to be $84 million in 2024, down modestly from an initial projection of $87 million. While substantial investments are anticipated, maintaining liquidity remains a priority. Overall, the Company expects a significant increase in free cash flow from operations in 2024 compared with 2023.

Lift Truck Outlook

Lift Truck's extended backlog levels and focus on booking orders with strong margins, combined with the market decline, led to an 18% bookings decrease compared to Q1 2023.

•Sequentially, bookings increased 10% in Q1 2024 compared to Q4 2023, led by EMEA warehouse trucks, in part due to a large order for Class 2 and Class 3 units.

•Q1 2024 average booking prices decreased moderately compared with fourth-quarter 2023 and prior year largely due to a shift toward lower-priced warehouse products.

•In line with objectives, backlog levels decreased by 6% in the quarter compared to year-end 2023 levels.

Looking ahead, the Lift Truck's objective as backlog levels and product lead times decrease is to be price competitive in the market but maintain targeted booking margins through new model introductions and cost decreases. Lift Truck expects an improving quarter-over-quarter bookings trend throughout 2024 due to anticipated market share gains in the Americas and EMEA, and improved North America market conditions in the second half of 2024.

25

Shipments are expected to increase in 2024 compared to 2023, due to three factors:

1.higher production rates,

2.supply chain and labor improvements in the Americas and EMEA, and

3.the dissipation of remaining product launch issues.

As production and shipment rates increase, backlog levels and lead times on a large number of production lines are expected to decrease to targeted rates by year end. However, Class 5 lead times are expected to remain extended for a longer period. Lift Truck’s $3.1 billion backlog, equal to approximately 9 months of revenue at the current quarterly level, continues to support the business. The lift truck business generally expects this to continue as a result of a combination of new bookings and current backlog until market levels improve.

Lift Truck expects continued second-quarter revenue and operating profit growth compared to the prior year as unit volumes increase and higher-priced, higher-margin backlog units are shipped. Modestly higher labor costs, combined with the anticipated expiration of tariff exemptions in late May 2024, are expected to temper the favorable second-quarter price-to-cost ratio compared to the first quarter.

Full-year 2024 Lift Truck revenues and operating profit are expected to increase over 2023. These expected results, however, are now greater than Lift Truck's previously communicated expectations and include the better-than-expected Q1 2024 results and anticipated improvements in subsequent quarters.

Bolzoni Outlook

Bolzoni anticipates 2024 revenues to be comparable to 2023 revenues. Product margins are expected to improve as Bolzoni increases production of higher-margin attachments and continues to phase out legacy component sales to the Lift Truck business. Operating profit is expected to increase modestly year-over-year, with increased gross profits anticipated to be partly offset by higher operating expenses.

Nuvera Outlook

Nuvera is focused on increasing customer product demonstrations and customer bookings in 2024 and expanding its presence in Europe and China. Booked orders from current customers are expected to result in higher 2024 sales compared with 2023. Nuvera expects the higher margins on these higher sales to be offset by increased development costs, leading to comparable year-over-year operating results. Further, funding granted by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2024, has the potential to offset costs in the future. Importantly, the increased engine demonstration activities in 2024 should significantly enhance the foundation for revenue from fuel cell engine technology adoption and improved financial returns in 2025 and future years.

Consolidated Strategic Perspectives

The Company's vision is to transform the way the world moves materials from Port to Home. The Company plans to do this through two customer promises: providing optimized product solutions and exceptional customer care. Ongoing execution of established strategic initiatives and key projects are expected to help the Company fulfill these promises and achieve long-term growth rates above the material handling market's expected growth rates. The Company believes these actions will contribute to an increased and sustainable lift truck and attachment competitive advantage over time. In addition, the Company believes that Nuvera's revenues will increase significantly over future years, bringing additional value to the Company's shareholders.

In early April 2024, the Company announced it will change its name to Hyster-Yale, Inc. and change the name of Hyster-Yale Group, its Lift Truck business, to Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. These changes reinforce the Company's current structure of three distinct but interrelated businesses of Lift Trucks , Bolzoni attachments and Nuvera fuel cells, with lift trucks at its core. In this context, the Hyster-Yale Materials Handling name is better suited to the core business, aligning its name with its foundational materials handling activities. Both name changes are expected to be effective at the close of business on May 31, 2024.

Lift Truck

From a broad perspective, the Lift Truck business has three core strategies to transform it's competitiveness, market position and economic performance over time:

1.Provide products that increase customer productivity at the lowest cost of ownership.

2.Be the leader in the delivery of industry- and customer-focused solutions.

26

•Transform the Lift Truck's sales processes to meet a wide variety of customer needs across a broad set of end markets by using a more industry- and customer-focused approach.

3.Be the leader in independent distribution.

•Focus on effectively coordinating dealer and major account coverage, enhancing dealer excellence and ensuring outstanding dealer ownership globally.

The Lift Truck business expects to enhance its product capabilities by bringing a wide variety of high-priority vehicle innovations to market, including new modular and scalable product families, enhanced truck electrification and power options, and innovative technology advancements such as operator assist systems and vehicle automation.

First, Lift Truck's heart-of-the-line award-winning modular, scalable 2- to 3.5-ton internal combustion engine lift trucks are now fully launched globally. The modular, scalable product platform is expected to enhance multiple areas of the business, including reducing supply chain costs, improving working capital levels, helping to optimize Lift Truck's manufacturing footprint, and providing customers with a more customizable product that better meets their needs:

•In late March 2024, JAPIC launched the full 2-to 3-ton internal combustion modular, scalable product line, available in value, standard and premium truck configurations.

•Bookings and shipments of these trucks are accelerating in the EMEA and Americas markets where they were initially launched in 2022 and 2023.

•Lift Truck expects to offer similar modular and scalable enhancements on its 2- to 3.5-ton electric truck platforms in 2024 and 2025.

Second, Lift Truck has key projects to capitalize on advancements in electric powertrains for applications now dominated by internal combustion engine trucks:

•Lift Truck has an electrified fuel cell Container Handler operating at the Port of Los Angeles, USA, and an electrified fuel cell Reach Stacker operating at the Port of Valencia, Spain.

•Lift Truck anticipates delivering a new electrified fuel cell Terminal Tractor and an electrified fuel cell Empty Container Handler to a customer in Hamburg, Germany in 2024.

•In March 2024, Lift Truck announced the sale of 10 zero-emission battery-powered terminal tractors to APM Terminals at the Port of Mobile, USA, as part of an electrification pilot for port-equipment decarbonization.

•Lift Truck is exploring options for additional electrification projects within the European Union and the United States.

Third, Lift Truck also has key projects focused on applying its technology advancements to operator assist and automated product options.

•Lift Truck began testing its internally developed automated truck at its first customer location in late March 2024.

•Yale ReliantTM, a unique operator assist technology that helps forklift operators avoid potential hazards, earned an honorable mention in the Fast Company Innovation by Design Award.

•At the 2024 MODEX material handling trade show, Lift Truck announced the standalone availability of its advanced dynamic stability technology, an underlying technology in the Yale Reliant solution. This system helps maintain overall vehicle stability and minimizes the potential for lift truck tip overs, which is a key source of risk for the industry.

•Lift Truck is continuing to work with a technology-service provider to co-develop further robotics software for automated lift truck solutions.

Finally, as part of its strategy to provide customer-focused solutions, Lift Truck plans to expand its global sourcing for container handlers and other Big Trucks such as 12- to 16-ton trucks. Lift Truck expects its Hyster® RS45 and RS46 ReachStackers, Empty Container Handlers and 12- to 16-ton Big Trucks to be sourced from multiple global production locations in 2024 compared to its current single European source. This multiple-source supply chain will better meet global customer needs for faster delivery of economically viable trucks.

Bolzoni

Bolzoni's core strategy is to be the leader in the attachments business by:

•concentrating on increasing its Americas business, and

•strengthening its ability to provide innovative products to better serve key attachment industries and customers in global markets.

To support this industry-specific strategy, Bolzoni is increasing its sales, marketing and product capabilities, especially in North

27

America. In keeping with its focus on innovative products, Bolzoni introduced a new attachment, the Home Appliance Telescopic Clamp for lift trucks, in March 2024. It is designed to easily handle home appliances and less than one pallet loads in confined spaces. In February 2024, Bolzoni introduced its Easy-Connect Product range, which features advanced technologies for smart logistics and Internet/Wi-Fi-enabled options.

Nuvera

Nuvera's core strategy is to be a leader in fuel cells and their applications. Its focus is on demonstrating 45kW and 60kW fuel cell production engines in a limited number of niche, heavy-duty vehicle applications. Fuel cell adoption has high potential to grow where batteries alone cannot meet the market’s need. As a result, these applications are expected to have nearer-term fuel cell adoption potential. Key projects include:

•Collaborations with third parties to test Nuvera® engines in targeted applications, including the Port of Los Angeles, USA, and the Port of Valencia, Spain, as well as a project with Helinor Energy for zero-emission energy solutions in maritime applications.

•Additional product tests in bus applications in China and India and a port application in Germany are expected by mid-2024.

•Development of a new, larger 125kW fuel cell engine for heavier-duty applications, projected to be available in 2025.

•Development of modular fuel cells for stationary and mobile generator applications in collaboration with customers.

In April 2024, Nuvera announced it was granted $30 million in matching federal funds from the U.S. Department of Energy as part of a $750 million investment in 52 hydrogen projects to reach National Clean Hydrogen Strategy goals. Using these funds, Nuvera plans to develop the high-volume production processes needed to scale-up its next-generation fuel cell stack technology.
