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 cyclical nature of the Company’s access

adoption rates of work at height machinery; the expected level and
timing of U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and international
defense customer procurement of products and services and funding
thereof; risks related to reductions in government expenditures in
light of U.S. defense budget pressures, sequestration and an
uncertain DoD tactical wheeled vehicle strategy, including the
Company’s ability to successfully manage the cost reductions
required as a result of lower customer orders in the defense
segment; the Company’s ability to win a U.S. Joint Light Tactical
Vehicle production contract award and international defense
contract awards; the Company’s ability to increase prices to raise
margins or offset higher input costs; increasing commodity and
other raw material costs, particularly in a sustained economic
recovery; risks related to facilities expansion, consolidation and
alignment, including the amounts of related costs and charges and
that anticipated cost savings may not be achieved; global economic
uncertainty, which could lead to additional impairment charges
related to many of the Company’s intangible assets and/or a slower
recovery in the Company’s cyclical businesses than Company or
equity market expectations; risks related to the collectability of
receivables, particularly for those businesses with exposure to
construction markets; the cost of any warranty campaigns related to
the Company’s products; risks related to production or shipment
delays arising from quality or production issues; risks associated
with international operations and sales, including foreign currency
fluctuations and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
the Company’s ability to comply with complex laws and regulations
applicable to U.S. government contractors; the impact of severe
weather or natural disasters that may affect the Company, its
suppliers or its customers; cyber security risks and costs of
