2. 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 of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including
without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy,
targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans
and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in
this presentation, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“should,” “project” or “plan” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology are
generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other
factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors
include the consequences of financial leverage associated with the JLG acquisition and the level of
the Company’s associated borrowing costs; the cyclical nature of the Company’s access
equipment, commercial and fire & emergency markets, especially during a recession, which many
believe the U.S. has already entered; the Company’s ability to offset rising steel, fuel and other
costs through other cost decreases or product selling price increases; the expected level and timing
of U.S. Department of Defense procurement of products and services and funding thereof; risks
related to reductions in government expenditures and the uncertainty of government contracts; risks
associated with international operations and sales, including foreign currency fluctuations; risks
related to the collectibility of access equipment receivables; the Company’s ability to turn around its
Geesink business; and the potential for increased costs relating to compliance with changes in laws
and regulations. Additional information concerning these and other factors and assumptions is
contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 8-K filed August 1, 2008. Except as set
forth in such Form 8-K, we disclaim any obligation to update such forward-looking statements.
