Joseph John O'Dea

morning. Good Hi.

John L. Garrison, Jr.

Good morning, Joe.

Joseph John O'Dea

kind between when go expansion split sourcing. and your comment XXX wanted back cranes I of bps of strategic the John, talk to about margin and you to

what think billion going you're I you've sourcing is talked that $X.X about of after.

like So, something that savings. it side is in like Cranes like that And single-digit improvement something mid other of X it imply would you're of points implying looks then the margin.

could the the it the hand, on cranes side. one aggressive like be like looks So The looks it conservative sourcing on side. be on could

kind thoughts of to just that maybe of observation So, line sight crane around margin those improvements. and

John L. Garrison, Jr.

it So, into question. then questions the of break parts and I'll the down two two

has we as it yes, In terms but we've we of now spend, and the beginning of to it overall on range in see savings right. $XXX do been anticipated, the awards, it are we said we taken, million X, taken the based clear, was strategic has that. about longer the than sourcing, spend and Wave us of

XX%, points think a to is that seeing, that from so, current basis guide X% reasonable XXX given sourcing we're And come timing I the strategic that guide through that Joe.

productivity, program. committed the fixed crane side, costs we we that, with doing supply and activities in quarters to last year profitability. our with have three of supply running. and and to crane chain the In made up terms get execution margins on forward. the turnaround We And manufacturing chain going drive to good we we're as progress today, again, acceptable new restructuring as team. reducing margins, our products And a of this to introduce as help is crane management some in from go And new us well, significant are where it margin gross is better of with to products as those going improvement that we're which not get overall product us

help to say the it will cranes sourcing, margin, with as would and sourcing cranes the on So, help some I as go we margin going as Strategic drive they now, that are and MP. of intertwined. strategic the is AWP the forward, well execution as

So, on further I'd it. that's that? to comment how Duffy, answer any want you

Unknown Speaker

No, think I that's that correct.

that to the The how taken it's target, think fact John between when have of be it's But in benefit initiative now the the about us the to strategic will going really, greater talking get realization to and will target. from X% much the long really hampered the run. longer has of much XX%, I sourcing about XXXX. was us that to savings achievement XXXX over

John L. Garrison, Jr.

the a are into suppliers agreements that And duration. of quantify to we're agreements into, from entering entering new five-year just most standpoint, with we're timing that of

good And we're setting for extended an supply up so duration side. performance ourselves on of chain the

Joseph John O'Dea

the XQ, just thinking half supply from the you Got the some in it. are the And to back of and cranes XQ then about year, margin improvement chain embedding constraints still the margin that to next up calibrate should year and appropriately of as what carry kind just about a to really think forward be. And margin? sets trying how into how XQ

some as we chain well I'm you'd sourcing, I supply issues this chain on what you year these savings is have in think gained ex right But the is productivity issues. supply the trying where number about these of be margin the through and think about into comments to X% as would strategic get XXXX? the

John D. Sheehan

So I'll take Joe. that,

has. quarter, In XXXX production as quarter. terms fourth the that get half resolved we quarter, be meaningfully year, here that of, to back and that right, as We have business QX, to cranes that the on in the stable, X-axle the sold the all that half top And cranes support business They've point then properly. level. in Their been introduction of will also terrain book XXXX, that operate sourcing over be was a so do a have last really about third this book back we means quarter if the the that and supply will low into we business line. see Demag XXXX, what second markets will in as you out means the let's our we're all mobile issues has, well be the the in strong relatively strong carry is we of once inflected new profitable line that we that strategic suppliers another fourth that at will we way we terrain all into my think schedule. here profitable XXXX or have the of cranes order loss for And be strong you at do in as year for going QX a profitability therefore, the And for us. say, think initiative end QX about crane with at schedule haven't – in product very chain will incur to will but XXXX the XXXX, normalize yet. the expect cranes fourth order And that will the the XXXX slightly the contribute

that line to is performance to line. top key the drive bottom Our

final This be will question. the

ahead. Stanley. from of Courtney go Yakavonis Please from Morgan next line Your question comes the

Courtney Yakavonis

Hi. Thanks for fitting me in.

going that, the how color Just and give us COGS just suppliers, that tariffs, of some it's think heard et be XXXX. from their impact, actually on it you just I being is impacted just developed some minimal from you new much how can to mentioned on your limit impact cetera? you to changing plans much are of But and

John L. Garrison, Jr.

Thanks. Thanks, Courtney.

of of by their tariffs. being MP the very are impact taking first, States. And We action are me limit XXX United say, the aggressive because tariffs the to cranes of is the manufacturing in most outside business significantly not let our and impacted

available on So to the our But AWP offsets. greater is allows the large business clearly, taking flows, our nature of and shifting portions us production adjusting really the business. tariffs impact use of trade global mitigate the of our by

China. import So on U.S., our the and significantly more the from import/export strategy, we export non-NAFTA countries, we from

unlimited to the impact. from models with our adding We're to that. location help element, And we sourcing suppliers able speak. utilize working also to – capability, does offset be drawback so the to with on but have he duty certain does not capability factored is we Matt the as move going believe into analysis finally, And working one strategic have to then we're time which been mitigate also to taking to our This the the other. suppliers mechanism production has

into that's move So, United model that in the we United currently States States. in unit being the China here could build produced and and a imported

issue, our actions have the impact now, working is we potential pricing impact on put, the it an and aggressively and So, don't so we'd of any right we're to but the to mitigate customers. impact our adversely margins that

dynamic a it's So, environment.

was increasing today there know, you it. As a talk of

on mitigate guidance. So, but possible. got it we've this what maximum it's think the into we to aggressive an plan we we in we've extent factored And based fluid, year's what to now, know know

and XXXX were into that those get the could beyond, But steps taking deal we're with XXX we change. the to tariffs. As
