Forward Looking Statements Our remarks that follow, including answers to your questions and these slides, include statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. All of our statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding Oshkosh Truck’s future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures and debt levels, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “intend,” “estimates,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “plans,” or similar words. We cannot give any assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include the accuracy of assumptions made with respect to our expectations for fiscal 2007, the Company’s ability to successfully close and integrate the JLG Industries, Inc. acquisition and integrate the AK Acquisition Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. acquisitions, the Company’s ability to continue the turnaround of the business of the Geesink Norba Group sufficiently to support its valuation resulting in no non-cash impairment charge for Geesink Norba Group goodwill, the Company’s ability to sustain flat operating income in its commercial segment and to raise operating income in its fire & emergency segment in fiscal 2007 despite anticipated lower industry demand resulting from changes to diesel engine emission standards effective January 1, 2007, the expected level of U.S. Department of Defense procurement of the Company’s products and services, the cyclical nature of the Company’s commercial and fire and emergency markets, risks related to reductions in government expenditures, the uncertainty of government contracts, the challenges of identifying, completing and integrating acquisitions, the success of the launch of the RevolutionÒ drum, and risks associated with international operations. We disclaim any obligation to update such forward-looking statements. |
