Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $29.1 million and $55.7 million, respectively, compared with $20.3 million and $38.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. EBITDA is presented (i) because the Company uses EBITDA to measure its liquidity and financial performance and (ii) because the Company believes EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the performance and enterprise value of companies in general, and in evaluating the liquidity of companies with significant debt service obligations and their ability to service their indebtedness. The EBITDA calculation is not an alternative to operating earnings under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as an indicator of operating performance or of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The following table reconciles Net Earnings as shown in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings to EBITDA and reconciles EBITDA to Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities as shown in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Stock Split and Dividend Policy
On March 8, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two split of the Company’s Class A common stock. The stock split was paid on March 29, 2006 to Company shareholders of record on March 20, 2006. The Company’s Class A common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on March 30, 2006. The Company’s Board of Directors also authorized, and shareholders approved at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders, an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to 75,000,000 shares. This increase in authorized shares became effective upon filing the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware on May 3, 2006.
In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 30% increase in the quarterly dividend to the amount of $.05 per share per quarter for dividends payable after the date of the stock split. On July 20, 2006, a cash dividend of $.05 per share was declared and is to be paid on August 21, 2006 to shareholders of record on August 3, 2006.
Cash Requirements
During the remainder of 2006, the Company anticipates strong cash flows from operations due to continued strength in aftermarket parts sales as well as continued high demand for new machines. In expanding markets, customers are generally contractually obligated to make progress payments under purchase contracts for machine orders and certain large parts orders. As a result, the Company does not anticipate significant outside financing requirements to fund production of these machines and does not believe that new machine sales will have a negative effect on its liquidity. If additional borrowings are necessary during the remainder of 2006, the Company believes it has sufficient capacity under its revolving credit facility (see “Financing Cash Flows” below).
On July 20, 2006, the Company announced that it will undertake the third phase of its multi-phase expansion program at its South Milwaukee facility. The first phase of the expansion program, which was announced on August 24, 2005, includes the construction of a new facility on the grounds of the Company’s South Milwaukee campus north of Rawson Avenue and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2006. The second phase, announced on February 16, 2006, will expand the Company’s new facility north of Rawson Avenue and is expected to be completed in mid-2007. The aggregate cost of phase one and two is expected to be approximately $54 million. Phase three of the expansion program will include the renovation of manufacturing buildings and offices, as well as the addition of new machine tools, at its existing facilities south of Rawson Avenue and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2007 at a cost of approximately $58 million. The Company intends to finance the expansion program through working capital and funds available under its existing revolving credit facility, and is exploring the availability of governmental grants and other programs.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had contractual obligations of approximately $26.2 million with respect to the expansion program. As of June 30, 2006, there have been no other material changes to the contractual obligations with respect to purchase obligations and operating leases and rental and service agreements as presented in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The Company’s capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $30.9 million compared with $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Included in capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $21.2 million related to the expansion program, of which $4.5 million was paid in July 2006. The remaining expenditures consist primarily of production machinery at the Company’s main manufacturing facility. The Company expects a continued increase in capital expenditures during the remainder of 2006 as it increases manufacturing capacity and upgrades and
24
replaces manufacturing equipment to support increased sales activity. The Company believes cash flows from operating activities and funds available under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures during the remainder of 2006.
At June 30, 2006, there were $46.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under all Company bank facilities.
The Company believes that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company also believes that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to repay any borrowings under its revolving credit facility. During the first six months of 2006, the Company reduced its borrowings under the revolving credit facility by $8.6 million.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company had $10.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006. All of this cash is located at various foreign subsidiaries and will be used for working capital purposes. Cash receipts in the United States are applied against the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Operating Cash Flows
During the first six months of 2006, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $31.3 million compared to $5.7 million in the first six months of 2005. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was driven primarily by increased sales activity.
Receivables
The Company recognizes revenues on machine orders using the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, accounts receivable are generated when revenue is recognized, which can be before the funds are collected or in some cases, before the customer is billed. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $154.4 million of receivables compared to $155.5 million of receivables at December 31, 2005. Receivables at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 included $53.7 million and $68.2 million, respectively, of revenues from long-term contracts which were not billable at these dates.
Liabilities to Customers on Uncompleted Contracts and Warranties
Customers generally make down payments at the time of the order for a new machine as well as progress payments throughout the manufacturing process. In accordance with SOP No. 81-1, these payments are recorded as Liabilities to Customers on Uncompleted Contracts and Warranties.
Financing Cash Flows
On May 27, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with GMAC Commercial Finance LLC as lead lender. The credit agreement provides for a five year $120.0 million revolving credit facility that may, at the Company’s request and with the lender’s approval, be increased to $150.0 million. Interest on borrowed amounts is subject to quarterly adjustments to prime or LIBOR rates as defined in the credit agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base formula based on the value of eligible receivables and inventory. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $54.9 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%. The amount available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2006 was $24.4 million.
25
The credit agreement contains covenants limiting the discretion of management with respect to key business matters and places significant restrictions on, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, make certain payments or investments, loans and guarantees, and sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with another entity. All of the Company’s domestic assets and the receivables and inventory of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are pledged as collateral under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries as well as the majority of the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral. The Company is also required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio (as defined). The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2006.
Registration of Securities
On June 30, 2006, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will allow the Company to issue and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, an indeterminate amount of the Company’s debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or warrants as the Company deems prudent or necessary to raise capital at a later date. The shelf registration statement became effective immediately upon filing.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s market risk is impacted by changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rates
The Company’s interest rate exposure relates primarily to floating rate debt obligations in the United States. The Company manages its borrowings under its credit agreement through the selection of LIBOR-based borrowings or prime-rate based borrowings. If market conditions warrant, interest rate swaps may be used to adjust interest rate exposures, although none have been used to date.
At June 30, 2006, a sensitivity analysis was performed for the Company’s floating rate debt obligations. Based on this sensitivity analysis, the Company has determined that a 10% change in the Company’s weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2006 would have the effect of changing the Company’s interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $.4 million.
Foreign Currency
The Company sells new machines, including those sold directly to foreign customers, and most of its aftermarket parts in United States dollars. A limited amount of aftermarket parts sales are denominated in the local currencies of Australia, Canada, Chile, South Africa, Brazil and the United Kingdom which subjects the Company to foreign currency risk. Aftermarket sales and a portion of the labor costs associated with such activities are denominated or paid in local currencies. As a result, a relatively strong United States dollar could decrease the United States dollar equivalent of the Company’s sales without a corresponding decrease of the United States dollar value of certain related expenses. The Company utilizes some foreign currency derivatives to mitigate foreign exchange risk.
Currency controls, devaluations, trade restrictions and other disruptions in the currency convertibility and in the market for currency exchange could limit the Company’s ability to timely convert sales earned abroad into United States dollars, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to service its United States dollar indebtedness, fund its United States dollar costs and finance capital expenditures and pay dividends on its common stock.
Based on the Company’s derivative instruments outstanding at June 30, 2006, a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Report was being prepared.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
