First-quarter Financial Results

Integration synergies drive continued Foodservice margin improvement;

Net order rates improved for the fifth consecutive quarter;

First Crane quarterly backlog increase since June 2008

MANITOWOC, Wis. — April 27, 2010 — The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW) today reported sales of $721.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, down 29.7 percent from $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2009. The sales decrease was due primarily to a 45.5 percent decline in the Crane segment, with flat sales in the Foodservice segment.

On a GAAP basis, the company reported a loss of $23.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the quarter versus a net loss of $655.8 million, or $5.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. Both periods included special items. Excluding special items, the adjusted loss from continuing operations was $9.9 million, or $0.08 per share, for the first quarter of 2010, versus adjusted earnings of $23.4 million, or $0.18 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. A reconciliation of GAAP net earnings to net earnings before special items is provided later in this press release.

“Although the operating environment during the first quarter of 2010 remained challenging, results for the seasonally soft quarter were in-line with our expectations. We saw pockets of strengthening demand in emerging markets, and signs that point toward further stabilization and gradual improvement in the second half of 2010,” said Glen E. Tellock, Manitowoc’s chairman and chief executive officer. “As expected, we are beginning to see increasing benefits from the operational efficiency, process improvements, and cost reduction initiatives we implemented during 2009.  In addition, we are realizing significant synergies from our Foodservice integration success.”

“Our attention to cash management was a key consideration during the quarter as we continued to closely manage working capital. Our focus remains centered on optimizing Manitowoc’s cash generation to achieve near and long-term debt reduction goals, and to enable further investments in our business to drive performance as the markets improve.  In addition, we continue to expect Foodservice synergies to exceed $80 million once all integration activities are completed in 2011.”

Foodservice Segment Results

First-quarter 2010 net sales in the Foodservice segment were $355.1 million versus $354.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $358.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Despite continued difficult market conditions, first quarter 2010 results were driven by the develop-ment and introduction of new Foodservice products, as well as replacement demand.

Foodservice operating earnings for the first quarter of 2010 were $47.5 million, versus $27.5 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $41.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. This resulted in Foodservice segment operating margins of 13.4 percent for the first quarter of 2010, up from 7.8 percent in the same period in 2009, and 11.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009. The year-over-year and sequential margin improvement was due to the synergies realized since the Enodis acquisition and a favorable mix of product revenues.

“We continue to see significant potential for organic growth in all areas of our Foodservice business and have witnessed an increasing number of positive signs in our end markets, including same-store sales increases, as well as traffic and revenue improvements,” said Tellock. “While many of our markets continue to be challenged, we believe that our continued focus on innovation and technologically superior products will enable us to maintain our leadership position in our Foodservice segment. They will also be a key driver of revenue growth and continued strong margins.”

Crane Segment Results

First-quarter 2010 net sales in the Crane segment were $366.8 million, down 45.5 percent from $672.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. First quarter 2010 sales were 23.6 percent lower than fourth quarter 2009 sales of $480.2 million. Crane segment operating earnings for the first quarter of 2010 decreased to $4.5 million from $56.5 million in the same period last year. Operating earnings were down $13.8 million from the fourth quarter of 2009, due primarily to lower sales volumes.

Crane segment backlog totaled $613 million as of March 31, 2010, an increase of 7.0 percent from the $573 million backlog at December 31, 2009.

“While the first quarter results reflect the difficult operating conditions we are facing, we reported our first sequential increase in quarterly backlog since June 2008. Consistent with last quarter, we are seeing some bright spots in emerging markets such as Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, which are being offset by continued weakness in North America and Western Europe as expected,” said Tellock. “Our strategy has not changed; we continue to focus on positioning this business for growth as we emerge from this downturn.  We are also taking advantage of our position in emerging markets globally.  We have maintained our efforts to strengthen our entire organization through operational efficiencies and cost management, while investing in areas that will drive the highest return over the long-term such as innovation and aftermarket support.”

Cash Flow/Debt Reduction

Cash flow used for operations in the first quarter of 2010 was $70.2 million. First-quarter operating cash flow compared to prior periods was adversely impacted by the company’s adoption of new financial accounting standards. As a result, the company was required to classify cash inflows from its domestic accounts receivable securitization facility as a financing activity instead of an operating activity as in prior periods.  This new accounting guidance did not require the company to restate prior year cash flow results. Adjusting for this change, the use of cash from operations in the first quarter 2010 would have been $7.2 million compared to a use of $34.3 million in the first quarter 2009.  The company increased its outstanding

debt balance by $22.4 million in the first quarter versus December 31, 2009 consistent with the normal seasonal characteristic of the business.

2010 Guidance

Given first-quarter results that were in-line with the company’s expectations, the company is reaffirming its full-year guidance for 2010.

For the full-year 2010, the company expects:

·Foodservice revenues to improve modestly over 2009 results;

·Foodservice operating margins to continue their solid improvement over 2009 levels;

·Year-over-year declines in Crane segment revenues to be significantly lower than the decline experienced in 2009;

·Crane revenues in the first half of 2010 to be lower than the first half of 2009;

·Crane revenues in the second half of 2010 to be higher than the second half of 2009; and,

·Full year Crane operating margins to be above the 3.5 percent trough margins that were experienced in 2003.

In addition, the company expects capital expenditures of approximately $50 million, depreciation and amortization of roughly $145 million and debt reduction of at least $200 million for full year 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, plus certain items such as pro-forma acquisition results and the addback of certain restructuring charges, that are adjustments per the credit agreement definition. The company’s trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA for covenant compliance purposes as of March 31, 2010 was $344.7 million. The reconciliation of loss from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in millions):

Earnings (loss) from continuing operations	$	(41.4	)
Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees	201.8
Income taxes	(11.4		)
Depreciation and amortization	129.2
Restructuring charges	35.6
Early extinguishment of debt	24.9
Losses on sale of product lines	3.4
Other	2.6
Adjusted EBITDA	$	344.7

GAAP Reconciliation

In this release, the company refers to various non-GAAP measures. We believe that these measures are helpful to investors in assessing the company’s ongoing performance of its underlying businesses before the impact of special items. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a comparison to commonly used financial metrics within the professional investing community which do not include special items. Earnings and earnings per share before special items reconcile to earnings presented according to GAAP as follows (in millions, except per share data):
