Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates. F-3 Table of Contents Valuation of Goodwill Description of the Matter At December 31, 2021, the Company’s goodwill balance was $56.5 million. As discussed in Note 12, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment annually as of May 1st and between annual evaluations if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company applied a quantitative assessment for all material reporting units in fiscal 2021 as of its annual May 1st evaluation, as well as when interim indicators of impairment were identified. As part of the quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant estimates within the discounted cash flow analysis include cash flow forecasts, the discount rate and the terminal business value. Auditing management’s annual and interim goodwill impairment assessments was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the reporting units. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as changes in the discount rate applied, revenue growth rates, including the terminal growth rate, and operating margins, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment and forecasting process whereby the Company develops significant assumptions that are used as inputs to the annual and interim goodwill impairment tests. This included controls over management's review of the valuation model and the significant assumptions (e.g., revenue, operating margin and terminal growth rate) used to develop the prospective financial information (PFI). To test the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing use of the discounted cash flow methodology and directly testing the significant assumptions and the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses, including assessing the completeness and accuracy of such underlying data. We utilized internal valuation specialists in assessing the fair value methodologies applied and evaluating the reasonableness of the discount rate selected by management. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, historical performance, guideline public companies in the same industry and strategic plans. We considered whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, and we performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions. Furthermore, we assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2002. Cleveland, Ohio February 28, 2022 F-4 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. and Subsidiaries' ("the Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's report on internal control over financial reporting in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Cleveland, OH February 28, 2022 F-5 Table of Contents HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC.

F-10 Table of Contents NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data) NOTE 1— Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly owned domestic and international subsidiaries and majority-owned joint ventures (collectively, "Hyster-Yale" or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation. The Company, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. ("HYG"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster ® and Yale ® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster ® and Yale ® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, China, Northern Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, the Philippines, Italy, Japan and Vietnam. The sale of service parts represents approximately 15 %, 14 % and 12% of total revenues as reported in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On June 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of a 75% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal"). Hyster-Yale Maximal is a Chinese manufacturer of low-intensity and standard lift trucks and specialized material handling equipment. Hyster-Yale Maximal also designs and produces specialized products in the port equipment and rough terrain forklift markets. During 2021, the Company signed an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “ETA”) with Y-C Hongkong Holding Co., Limited (“HK Holding Co”), pursuant to which the Company expects to purchase 15% of the equity interest of Hyster-Yale Maximal from HK Holding Co for an aggregate purchase price of $25.2 million in June 2022, which will be paid in annual installments of $8.4 million beginning in June 2022 through June 2024. Subsequently, the Company will have an option to purchase HK Holding Co's remaining interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal at any time prior to June 8, 2056 for $16.8 million. If this option is exercised, the Company will own 100% of the equity interest of Hyster-Yale Maximal. The Company operates Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni"). Bolzoni is a leading worldwide producer and distributor of attachments, forks and lift tables marketed under the Bolzoni ® , Auramo ® and Meyer ® brand names. Bolzoni products are manufactured in the United States, Italy, China, Germany and Finland. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni has a strong presence in the market niche of lift-truck attachments and industrial material handling. The Company operates Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on the design, manufacture and sale of hydrogen fuel-cell stacks and engines. Investments in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. ("SN"), a 50 % owned joint venture, and HYG Financial Services, Inc. ("HYGFS"), a 20 % owned joint venture, are accounted for by the equity method. SN operates manufacturing facilities in Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam from which the Company purchases certain components, service parts and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50 % of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. HYGFS is a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. ("WF"), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster ® and Yale ® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. National Account customers are large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from these equity investments is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” portion of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2020, broad measures taken by governments, businesses and others across the globe to limit the spread of novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") adversely affected the Company. The resulting significant decline in economic activity also reduced the demand for the Company's products and limited the availability of components from certain suppliers. Production was significantly reduced or suspended at the Company's Chinese and European facilities for certain periods during the first and second quarters of 2020. The Company also initiated several cost reduction measures designed to ease liquidity pressure. These cost containment actions included spending and travel restrictions, significant reductions in temporary personnel, furloughs, suspension of incentive compensation and profit sharing, benefit reductions and salary reductions. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company reinstated pre-pandemic salaries, benefits and incentive compensation programs. The cost containment actions associated with hiring, use of contract and temporary workers, travel and meetings, as well as other discretionary spending, are continuing. These measures are expected to remain in place until market and economic uncertainty dissipates and results improve. In addition, the Company adjusted production levels in 2020 at its manufacturing plants to align more closely with the F-11 Table of Contents reduced levels of demand, and worked closely with suppliers to help ensure current needs were met while also promoting continuity as the market improved. However, despite these efforts, during 2021, the Company experienced further pandemic-related and other global supply chain constraints, component shortages, shipping container availability constraints and higher freight costs, as well as significant material cost inflation resulting from the accelerated pace of the market recovery, all of which have negatively impacted the Company. NOTE 2— Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if any) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances: Allowances are maintained against accounts receivable for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on historical experience, existing economic trends and both recent trends of specific customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur. Changes in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts, including write-offs, are as follows: 2021 2020 Balance at January 1 $ 10.4 $ 9.7 Charged to costs and expenses 0.7 1.0 Write-offs ( 0.1 ) ( 0.6 ) Recoveries ( 0.4 ) — Foreign currency effect ( 0.3 ) 0.3 Balance at December 31 $ 10.3 $ 10.4 The allowance for doubtful accounts balance includes allowance of receivables classified as long-term of $ 4.3 million and $ 4.6 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Self-insurance Liabilities: The Company is generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. The Company also has insurance for certain historic product liability claims. An estimated provision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the self-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on industry trends, historical experience and management judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to change in the near term. Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $ 9.0 million, $ 7.6 million and $ 10.7 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Research and Development Costs: Expenses associated with the development of new products and changes to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. These costs amounted to $ 108.3 million, $ 100.5 million and $ 115.3 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign Currency: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of equity, except for the Company’s Mexican operations. The U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency for the Company’s Mexican operations and, therefore, the effect of translating assets and liabilities from the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar is recorded in results of operations. Revenues and expenses of all non-U.S. operations are translated using average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year.

Standard Description ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes The guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the income tax guidance related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 The guidance clarifies certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities and investments under the equity method of accounting. The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted: Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. From the date of issuance through December 31, 2022 The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and the effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. NOTE 3— Revenue Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the trucks, parts, or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 15 for further information on product warranties. The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided. F-13 Table of Contents The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported on the line “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table disaggregates revenue by category: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 Lift truck business Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Nuvera Elims Total Dealer sales $ 935.4 $ 540.7 $ 202.7 $ — $ — $ — $ 1,678.8 Direct customer sales 452.5 8.7 — — — — 461.2 Aftermarket sales 478.5 106.7 30.2 — — — 615.4 Other 118.2 22.8 1.0 347.8 0.7 ( 170.2 ) 320.3 Total Revenues $ 1,984.6 $ 678.9 $ 233.9 $ 347.8 $ 0.7 $ ( 170.2 ) $ 3,075.7 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 Lift truck business Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Nuvera Elims Total Dealer sales $ 882.9 $ 472.0 $ 161.8 $ — $ — $ — $ 1,516.7 Direct customer sales 497.3 9.2 — — — — 506.5 Aftermarket sales 397.4 88.8 29.9 — — — 516.1 Other 113.6 18.6 1.4 283.7 3.9 ( 148.4 ) 272.8 Total Revenues $ 1,891.2 $ 588.6 $ 193.1 $ 283.7 $ 3.9 $ ( 148.4 ) $ 2,812.1 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 Lift truck business Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Nuvera Elims Total Dealer sales $ 1,051.2 $ 619.1 $ 214.5 $ — $ — $ — $ 1,884.8 Direct customer sales 542.1 15.0 — — — — 557.1 Aftermarket sales 396.4 95.3 34.2 — — — 525.9 Other 133.6 21.8 1.0 345.4 10.1 ( 187.9 ) 324.0 Total Revenues $ 2,123.3 $ 751.2 $ 249.7 $ 345.4 $ 10.1 $ ( 187.9 ) $ 3,291.8 Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealers. The majority of direct customer sales are to National F-14 Table of Contents Account customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Aftermarket sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Bolzoni revenue from external customers is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. In the United States, Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of forklift components to HYG plants. Nuvera's revenues include the sale of battery box replacement ("BBR") units to HYG for sale to dealers and development funding from third-party development agreements. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price and amount of consideration received and the revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni, Nuvera and the lift truck business have been eliminated. Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer. Changes in the Company's deferred revenue are as follows: 2021 2020 Balance, January 1 $ 70.5 $ 73.3 Customer deposits and billings 38.0 41.2 Revenue recognized ( 32.0 ) ( 44.6 ) Foreign currency effect ( 0.3 ) 0.6 Balance, December 31 $ 76.2 $ 70.5 NOTE 4— Business Segments The Company’s reportable segments for the lift truck business include the following three management units: the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC. Americas includes lift truck operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and its corporate headquarters. EMEA includes lift truck operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes lift truck operations in the Asia and Pacific regions, including China, as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic management units and are included in the segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarter's expenses and information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business. The Company reports the results of both Bolzoni and Nuvera as separate segments. Intercompany sales between Nuvera, Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated. Financial information for each of the reportable segments is presented in the following table. See Note 1 for a discussion of the Company’s product lines. Refer to Note 2 for a description of the accounting policies of the reportable segments as well as a reference table for the remaining accounting policies described in the accompanying footnotes.

The Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the request of the holder. The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same cash dividend rights per share. The Class A common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock at December 31, 2021 was 125 million shares and 35 million shares, respectively. Treasury shares of Class A common stock totaling 61,207 and 82,670 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, have been deducted from shares outstanding. Stock Compensation: The Company has stock compensation plans for certain employees in the U.S. that allow the grant of shares of Class A common stock, subject to restrictions, as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plans are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) five years after the participant's retirement date, (ii) four, seven or ten years from the award date, as defined in the award, or (iii) the participant's death or permanent disability. Pursuant to the plans, the Company expects to issue 65,121 and issued 111,148 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, respectively. There were no shares issued related to 2020. After the issuance of these shares, there will be 943,449 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under these plans. Compensation expense related to these share awards was $ 2.6 million ($ 2.0 million net of tax) and $ 7.0 million ($ 5.5 million net of tax) for the years ended 2021 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock. The Company also has a stock compensation plan for non-employee directors of the Company under which a portion of the non-employee directors’ annual retainer is paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $ 127,000 of each non-employee director's retainer of $ 188,000 was to be paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2020, $ 124,000 of $ 184,000 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. The non-employee directors' retainer was reduced by 10% from May through December of 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, $ 118,000 of $ 178,000 was paid in restricted shares of Class A common stock. Shares awarded under the plan are fully vested and entitle the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that shares may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred during the restriction period. In general, the restriction period ends at the earliest of (i) ten years from the award date, (ii) the date of the director's death or permanent disability, (iii) five years (or earlier with the approval of the Board of Directors) after the director's date of retirement from the Board of Directors, or (iv) the date on which the director has both retired from the Board of Directors and reached 70 years of age. Pursuant to this plan, the Company issued 22,176 , 28,323 and 18,954 shares related to the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition to the mandatory retainer fee received in restricted stock, directors may elect to receive shares of Class A common stock in lieu of cash for up to 100% of the balance of their annual retainer, meeting attendance fees, committee retainer and any committee chairman's fees. These voluntary shares are not subject to any restrictions. Total shares issued under voluntary elections were 1,168 , 1,610 and 1,711 in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. After the issuance of these shares, there were 30,976 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under this directors' plan. Compensation expense related to these awards was $ 1.4 million ($ 1.1 million net of tax), $ 1.3 million ($ 1.0 million net of tax) and $ 1.2 million ($ 0.9 million net of tax) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense at the grant date represents fair value based on the market price of the shares of Class A common stock. F-19 Table of Contents Earnings per Share: For purposes of calculating earnings per share, no adjustments have been made to the reported amounts of net income attributable to stockholders. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share for Class A common stock are the same as Class B common stock. The weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows: 2021 2020 2019 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 16.818 16.775 16.645 Dilutive effect of restricted stock awards — 0.024 0.081 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 16.818 16.799 16.726 Basic earnings per share $ ( 10.29 ) $ 2.21 $ 2.15 Diluted earnings per share $ ( 10.29 ) $ 2.21 $ 2.14 Cash dividends per share $ 1.2875 $ 1.2700 $ 1.2625 The table above excludes 0.074 million of anti-dilutive restricted stock awards related to 2021, expected to be issued in 2022. NOTE 6— Income Taxes The components of income (loss) before income taxes and provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31 are as follows: 2021 2020 2019 Income (loss) before income taxes U.S. $ ( 147.9 ) $ ( 0.6 ) $ ( 18.2 ) Non-U.S. ( 7.0 ) 42.8 66.1 $ ( 154.9 ) $ 42.2 $ 47.9 Income tax provision Current tax provision (benefit): Federal $ ( 1.2 ) $ 0.4 $ 3.2 State 1.1 0.8 1.9 Non-U.S. 8.6 5.0 13.0 Total current $ 8.5 $ 6.2 $ 18.1 Deferred tax provision (benefit): Federal $ 14.1 $ ( 2.6 ) $ ( 7.6 ) State 3.8 ( 0.6 ) ( 1.9 ) Non-U.S. 1.9 0.7 2.7 Total deferred $ 19.8 $ ( 2.5 ) $ ( 6.8 ) $ 28.3 $ 3.7 $ 11.3 The Company made income tax payments of $ 11.7 million, $ 15.3 million and $ 12.5 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company received income tax refunds of $ 0.3 million, $ 0.2 million and $ 3.7 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. F-20 Table of Contents A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate and reported income tax rate for the year ended December 31 is as follows: 2021 2020 2019 Income before income taxes $ ( 154.9 ) $ 42.2 $ 47.9 Statutory taxes at 21 % $ ( 32.5 ) $ 8.9 $ 10.1 Valuation allowance 58.6 2.9 0.8 Non-U.S. rate differences 10.0 ( 0.3 ) 0.9 Global intangible low-taxed income 5.0 1.8 2.0 Unremitted non-U.S. earnings 1.2 ( 0.7 ) 1.7 Other 0.6 0.8 ( 0.2 ) Nondeductible compensation 0.4 — 1.7 State income taxes ( 5.3 ) 0.1 ( 0.2 ) Tax controversy resolution ( 4.5 ) ( 5.8 ) ( 1.4 ) Federal income tax credits ( 2.6 ) ( 2.6 ) ( 4.0 ) Equity interest earnings ( 1.8 ) ( 1.0 ) ( 1.5 ) Base-erosion and anti-abuse tax ( 0.8 ) ( 0.4 ) 1.4 Income tax provision $ 28.3 $ 3.7 $ 11.3 Reported income tax rate ( 18.3 ) % 8.8 % 23.6 % The Company has determined that it is impracticable to calculate the amount of deferred taxes that would be applicable to all of its investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. However, the Company has provided for the anticipated withholding taxes on unremitted non-U.S. earnings for which no reinvestment plan has been identified and that may be repatriated in the foreseeable future including deferred taxes with respect to these earnings. The Company has elected to account for the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax amounts for GILTI. Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Reform Act") eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and requires U.S. taxpayers to amortize such expenditures over five to fifteen years depending upon whether the activities were incurred in the U.S. or outside of the U.S. Without the option to deduct these expenses in the year incurred, the Company expects this change to have a material impact upon our future cash payments for taxes. Under the assumption that this legislation is not modified or repealed, the impact will continue over the fifteen year maximum amortization period, but will decrease each year until the end of the fifteen year deferral period. A detailed summary of the total deferred tax assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting from differences in the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities follows: December 31 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets Tax attribute carryforwards $ 53.7 $ 21.2 Accrued expenses and reserves 19.9 9.0 Product warranties 12.1 12.2 Research and development capitalization 7.8 7.2 Accrued product liability 6.7 6.2 Other employee benefits 6.1 5.7 Inventories 5.1 2.9 Other 2.3 2.9 Accrued pension benefits — 3.3 Total deferred tax assets 113.7 70.6 Less: Valuation allowance 94.4 28.2 19.3 42.4 F-21 Table of Contents December 31 2021 2020 Deferred tax liabilities Depreciation and amortization 25.4 31.9 Accrued pension benefits 1.7 — Unremitted earnings 1.2 1.0 Total deferred tax liabilities 28.3 32.9 Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ ( 9.0 ) $ 9.5 The following table summarizes the tax carryforwards and associated carryforward periods and related valuation allowances where the Company has determined that realization is uncertain: December 31, 2021 Net deferred tax asset Valuation allowance Carryforwards expire during: U.S. net operating loss $ 18.1 $ 17.7 Indefinite Non-U.S. net operating loss 17.4 14.6 2022 - Indefinite State net operating losses and credits 8.5 8.1 2022 - Indefinite Non-U.S. capital losses 7.5 7.5 2022 - Indefinite Disallowed interest and other 3.0 3.0 2026 - Indefinite Research and development credit 1.9 0.2 2041 Less: Unrecognized tax benefits ( 2.7 ) — Total $ 53.7 $ 51.1 December 31, 2020 Net deferred tax asset Valuation allowance Carryforwards expire during: Non-U.S. net operating loss $ 12.6 $ 10.0 2021 - Indefinite Non-U.S. capital losses 7.0 7.0 2021 - Indefinite State net operating losses and credits 4.2 3.0 2021 - 2039 Less: Unrecognized tax benefits ( 2.6 ) — Total $ 21.2 $ 20.0 The Company continually evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required where realization is determined to no longer meet the "more likely than not" standard. The establishment of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the Company from using its loss carryforwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The tax net operating losses attributable to Australia, Brazil, China and the United Kingdom comprise a substantial portion of the non-U.S. net operating loss deferred tax assets. The Australian, Brazilian and United Kingdom net operating losses do not expire under local law, while Chinese losses expire after five years. During 2021, the Company recognized a tax charge of $ 24.8 million, for the establishment of a valuation allowance against the beginning of the year balance of the Company’s U.S. and United Kingdom deferred tax assets, excluding the portion of assets available to be carried back to the prior tax year. Based upon a review of the Company’s recent operations, including cumulative U.S. pretax losses, lack of available tax planning strategies and declining forecasts due to supply and logistics constraints, the evidence available no longer supported a more likely than not standard for realization of these deferred tax assets. Although the Company projects earnings over the longer term for these operations, due to the cumulative losses such longer-term forecasts are not sufficient evidence to support the future utilization of deferred tax assets. Additionally, $ 32.5 million of valuation allowance expense, related to these operations, was provided against deferred tax assets generated in the current year. During 2021 and 2020, the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets increased by $ 66.2 million and decreased by $ 3.2 million, respectively. The change in the total valuation allowance in 2021 and 2020 included a net increase in tax expense of $ 58.6 million and $ 2.9 million, respectively, and a net increase of $ 7.6 million and a net decrease of $ 0.6 million in 2021 and 2020 recorded directly in equity, respectively. The change also included a net decrease of $ 5.5 million in 2020 for the F-22 Table of Contents write-down of the Australian losses recorded directly against the associated valuation allowance where such losses were no longer available under Australian tax rules. Based upon a review of historical earnings and trends, forecasted earnings and the relevant expiration of carryforwards, the Company believes the valuation allowances provided are appropriate. At December 31, 2021, the Company had gross net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. of $ 86.2 million, U.S. state jurisdictions of $ 93.0 million and non-U.S. jurisdictions of $ 61.5 million. The following is a reconciliation of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between the Company's tax return positions and the benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Approximately $ 8.2 million, $ 10.7 million and $ 13.5 million of these amounts as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, relate to permanent items that, if recognized, would impact the reported income tax rate. In 2020 and 2019, these amounts differ from gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table below due to the increase in U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon the recognition of the state tax benefits included herein. 2021 2020 2019 Balance at January 1 $ 10.8 $ 13.6 $ 15.2 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 0.7 0.3 0.3 Additions for tax positions of prior years 1.2 0.1 0.2 Reductions due to settlements with taxing authorities and the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations ( 4.3 ) ( 3.9 ) ( 2.0 ) Other changes in unrecognized tax benefits including foreign currency translation adjustments ( 0.2 ) 0.7 ( 0.1 ) Balance at December 31 $ 8.2 $ 10.8 $ 13.6 The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The Company recorded a net decrease of $ 2.1 million and $ 2.3 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively, and an increase $ 0.1 million during 2019, in interest and penalties. As a result of foreign currency translation into U.S. dollars, the total amount of interest and penalties increased by $ 0.2 million and $0.4 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $ 4.8 million, $ 6.7 million and $ 8.6 million as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months. It is reasonably possible the Company will record unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, within the next twelve months up to $ 5.5 million resulting from the possible expiration of certain statutes of limitation and settlement of audits. If recognized, the previously unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as discrete tax benefits in the interim period in which the items are effectively settled. Approximately $ 4.0 million of the amount that may be recognized in the next twelve months relates to prior business acquisitions, and such amounts will be offset with the pretax reduction of the related indemnity receivable. The tax returns of the Company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. The Company has not been informed of any material assessment for which an accrual has not been previously provided. In addition, in certain circumstances where the Company is contesting an assessment and believes it has a strong probability of success, no accrual has been provided. The Company would vigorously contest any material assessment. Management believes any potential adjustment would not materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In general, the Company operates in taxing jurisdictions that provide a statute of limitations period ranging from three to five years for the taxing authorities to review the applicable tax filings. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for its 2018 U.S. tax filings. The Company expects this examination to be completed during 2022. The examination of U.S. federal tax returns for all years prior to 2018 have been settled with the Internal Revenue Service or otherwise have essentially closed under the applicable statute of limitations. However, the Company has elected to voluntarily extend the statute of limitations for the U.S. federal tax return for 2012 at the request of its prior parent company such that attributes may be adjusted in limited circumstances. The Company has also filed a protective claim for 2017 in order to preserve its right to a future refund pending the favorable resolution of certain court decisions. The Company is routinely under examination in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions and in most cases the statute of limitations has not been extended. The Company believes these examinations are routine in nature and are not expected to result in any material tax assessments.

The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account company credit risk. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021, the total carrying value and total fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $ 490.3 million and $ 486.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the total carrying value and total fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $ 260.5 million and $ 257.2 million, respectively. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and derivatives. The large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies mitigates concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and in certain circumstances may require advance payments or collateral. The Company enters into derivative contracts with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. Derivative Financial Instruments Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit agreements, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales. The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. These derivatives are used to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk related to forecasted purchase or sales F-24 Table of Contents transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are generally recognized in cost of sales. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts that are designated as net investment hedges of the Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as a hedge of a net investment in foreign currency, the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The Company periodically enters into cross-currency swaps which hedge the variability of expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk of certain intercompany loans. Changes in the fair value of cross-currency swaps that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in other (income) expense and interest expense. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Company's interest rate swap agreements and its variable rate financings are predominately based upon one-month LIBOR. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense. Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates yield curves and foreign currency spot rates to value its derivatives and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a total notional amount of $ 1.1 million at December 31, 2021, primarily denominated in euros, Japanese yen, U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Swedish kroner and Australian dollars. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $ 0.8 billion at December 31, 2020, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Australian dollars, Swedish kroner, Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $ 26.7 million and a net asset $ 23.5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no material ineffectiveness of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2021, $ 12.8 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at December 31, 2021 is expected to be reclassified as expense into the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur. F-25 Table of Contents Interest Rate Derivatives: The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates, excluding spreads, and remaining terms of interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2021 and 2020: Notional Amount Average Fixed Rate December 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 2021 2020 2021 2020 Term at December 31, 2021 $ 180.0 $ — 1.68 % — % Extending to May 2027 16.0 19.0 ( 0.14 ) % ( 0.10 ) % Extending to September 2025 — 56.5 — % 1.94 % Terminated May 2021 — 65.7 — % 2.20 % Terminated May 2021 The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $ 3.2 million and $ 4.9 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2021, $ 3.3 million of the net deferred loss included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements.

The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds. Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company’s U.S. and U.K. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans. During 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $ 1.1 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, resulting from lump-sum distributions exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for its U.S. pension plan. F-27 Table of Contents The assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit plans were as follows for the years ended December 31: 2021 2020 2019 United States Plans Weighted average discount rates 2.58 % 2.09 % 3.02 % Expected long-term rate of return on assets 5.50 % 7.00 % 7.50 % Cash balance interest crediting rate 3.50 % 3.50 % 3.50 % Non-U.S. Plans Weighted average discount rates 1.00 %- 1.30 % 0.50 %- 1.30 % 0.37 %- 1.85 % Rate of increase in compensation levels 2.45 %- 2.50 % 1.00 %- 2.50 % 1.00 %- 2.50 % Expected long-term rate of return on assets 1.00 %- 4.50 % 0.50 %- 6.00 % 1.00 %- 7.00 % Each year, the assumptions used to calculate the benefit obligation are used to calculate the net periodic pension expense for the following year.

The accumulated benefit obligation also reflects the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, but does not include the effects of estimated future pay increases. In 2022, the Company expects to contribute $ 2.1 million to its non-U.S. pension plans. The Company does not expect to contribute to its U.S. pension plan in 2022. F-29 Table of Contents Pension benefit payments are made from assets of the pension plans. Future pension benefit payments expected to be paid from assets of the pension plans are: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2022 $ 6.1 $ 8.1 2023 5.9 8.4 2024 5.6 8.7 2025 5.2 8.8 2026 4.9 9.1 2027 - 2031 20.4 49.7 $ 48.1 $ 92.8 The expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit plan assets reflects management’s expectations of long-term rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The Company has established the expected long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets by considering the historical rates of return over a period of time that is consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans as well as a forward-looking rate of return. The historical and forward-looking rates of return for each of the asset classes used to determine the Company's estimated rate of return assumption were based upon the rates of return earned or expected to be earned by investments in the equivalent benchmark market indices for each of the asset classes. Expected returns for the U.K. pension plan is based on a calculated market-related value of assets. Under this methodology, asset gains and losses resulting from actual returns that differ from the Company’s expected returns are recognized in the market-related value of assets ratably over three years. The pension plans maintain an investment policy that, among other things, establishes a portfolio asset allocation methodology with percentage allocation bands for individual asset classes. The investment policy provides that investments are reallocated between asset classes as balances exceed or fall below the appropriate allocation bands.

The defined benefit pension plans do not have any direct ownership of Hyster-Yale common stock. The fair value of each major category of U.S. plan assets for the Company’s pension plan are valued using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, or Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of each major category of Non-U.S. plan assets for the Company’s pension plans are valued using observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. F-30 Table of Contents Following are the values as of December 31: Level 1 Level 2 2021 2020 2021 2020 U.S. equity securities $ 19.2 $ 28.1 $ 24.6 $ 34.2 U.K. equity securities — — 6.4 9.0 Non-U.S., non-U.K. equity securities 8.1 14.3 44.9 64.9 Fixed income securities 41.1 25.8 125.7 89.1 Money market 0.6 0.4 1.1 0.7 Total $ 69.0 $ 68.6 $ 202.7 $ 197.9 Defined Contribution Plans: The Company has defined contribution (401(k)) plans for substantially all U.S. employees and similar plans for employees outside of the United States. The Company generally matches employee contributions based on plan provisions. In addition, in the United States and United Kingdom, the Company has defined contribution retirement plans whereby the contribution to participants is determined annually based on a formula that includes the effect of actual compared with targeted operating results and the age and compensation of the participants. Total costs, including Company contributions, for these plans were $ 17.1 million, $ 10.0 million and $ 26.6 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Company contributions to these plans were suspended from May through December of 2020. NOTE 10— Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory or lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, 51 % and 42 %, respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method, which consists primarily of manufactured inventories, including service parts for the lift truck business in the United States. The FIFO method is used with respect to all other inventories. The cost components of inventory include raw materials, purchased components, direct and indirect labor, utilities, depreciation, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and warehousing costs. Reserves are maintained for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Upon a subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired inventory, the corresponding reserve for impaired value is relieved to ensure that the cost basis of the inventory reflects any write-downs. During 2021, Nuvera reduced its inventory by $16.1 million to its estimated net realizable value, which is recorded in “Cost of Sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of the factors related to this adjustment. Inventories are summarized as follows: December 31 2021 2020 Finished goods and service parts $ 321.6 $ 269.0 Work in process 32.9 21.0 Raw materials 509.9 269.4 Total manufactured inventories 864.4 559.4 LIFO reserve ( 83.4 ) ( 50.0 ) Total inventory $ 781.0 $ 509.4 NOTE 11— Property, Plant and Equipment, Net Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under finance leases, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated using a 20, 40 or 50-year life, improvements to land and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging up to 40 years and equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Capital grants received for the acquisition of equipment are recorded as reductions of the related equipment cost and reduce future depreciation expense. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment when changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon identification of indicators of impairment, assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash F-31 Table of Contents flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or liabilities. The asset group would be considered impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset group are less than carrying value. If the carrying value of an asset group is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements during 2021, the Company identified indicators of impairment primarily related to the unexpected level of significant, on-going pandemic-related and other global supply chain constraints, component shortages, shipping container availability constraints and higher freight costs, as well as significant material cost inflation resulting from the accelerated pace of the market recovery, all of which had negatively impacted the Company. The continued high level of disruption to the Company’s manufacturing and logistics operations experienced in 2021 is expected to continue into 2022. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including border closures, halted Nuvera's progress on certain research and development agreements that were entered into prior to the start of the pandemic. In anticipation of fulfilling these agreements, Nuvera made significant investments in manufacturing and equipment expansion, as well as increased inventory levels. As a result, it was determined that carrying value of the Nuvera fixed assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows from the assets and the fair value of Nuvera's fixed assets exceeded the carrying value by $10.0 million. The impairment charge for property, plant and equipment was recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using a cost approach, which is a Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Based on the Company’s analysis, all other remaining long-lived assets with finite lives were not impaired as of December 31, 2021. Property, plant and equipment, net includes the following: December 31 2021 2020 Land and land improvements $ 33.5 $ 33.6 Plant and equipment 856.7 842.9 Property, plant and equipment, at cost 890.2 876.5 Allowances for depreciation and amortization ( 559.7 ) ( 536.1 ) $ 330.5 $ 340.4 Total depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was $ 40.8 million, $ 36.8 million and $ 36.7 million during 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. NOTE 12— Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of May 1 st and between annual evaluations if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative analysis to determine whether fair value exceeds carrying value. As part of the quantitative testing process for goodwill, the Company estimates fair values using a discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flow approach are cash flow forecasts of the reporting units, the discount rate, the terminal business value and the projected income tax rate. The cash flow forecasts of the reporting units are based upon management’s long-term view of markets and are the forecasts that are used by senior management and the Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance. The discount rate utilized is management’s estimate of what the market’s weighted average cost of capital is for a company with a similar debt rating and stock volatility, as measured by beta. The projected income tax rates utilized are the statutory tax rates for the countries where each reporting unit operates. The terminal business value is determined by applying a business growth factor to the latest year for which a forecast exists. As part of the goodwill quantitative testing process, the Company evaluates whether there are reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment testing. The Company completed the annual testing of impairment of goodwill as of May 1, 2021 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2021 at the reporting unit level for the related goodwill. Based on the annual testing, the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and no impairment existed. During 2021, the Company continued to experience pandemic-related and other global supply chain constraints, component shortages, shipping container availability constraints and higher freight costs, as well as significant material cost inflation resulting from the accelerated pace of the market recovery. These items significantly impacted the Company's results of operations in 2021. In addition, the timeframe for the expected easing of these factors impacted the Company's near and long-term forecasts. Accordingly, in connection with the preparation of its 2021 financial statements, the Company conducted an interim goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2021 for the JAPIC and Bolzoni reporting units. As a result, the Company recognized a $55.6 million goodwill impairment F-32 Table of Contents charge for the JAPIC reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2021, of which $11.7 million was attributable to the noncontrolling interest. No impairment of goodwill for the Bolzoni reporting unit was identified. The following table summarizes goodwill by segment as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: Carrying Amount of Goodwill Americas EMEA JAPIC Bolzoni Total Balance at January 1, 2020 $ 1.7 $ 1.0 $ 50.9 $ 53.1 $ 106.7 Foreign currency translation — 0.1 3.3 4.6 8.0 Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 1.7 $ 1.1 $ 54.2 $ 57.7 $ 114.7 Impairment — — ( 55.6 ) — ( 55.6 ) Foreign currency translation — ( 0.1 ) 1.4 ( 3.9 ) ( 2.6 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 1.7 $ 1.0 $ — $ 53.8 $ 56.5 The indefinite-lived intangible assets are the Bolzoni trademarks. Fair values used in testing for potential impairment of the trademarks are calculated by applying an estimated market value royalty rate to the forecasted revenues of the businesses that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation are discounted using Bolzoni’s weighted average cost of capital. The Company completed the annual testing of impairment as of May 1, 2021 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2021. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was in excess of its carrying value and thus, no impairment exists. The following table summarizes intangible assets, other than goodwill, recorded in the consolidated balance sheets: December 31, 2021 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Balance Intangible assets not subject to amortization Trademarks $ 17.0 $ — $ 17.0 Intangible assets subject to amortization Customer and contractual relationships 40.0 ( 19.5 ) 20.5 Patents and technology 21.0 ( 12.1 ) 8.9 Trademarks 5.8 ( 1.5 ) 4.3 Total $ 83.8 $ ( 33.1 ) $ 50.7 December 31, 2020 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Balance Intangible assets not subject to amortization Trademarks $ 18.4 $ — $ 18.4 Intangible assets subject to amortization Customer and contractual relationships 41.5 ( 17.8 ) 23.7 Patents and technology 22.3 ( 10.4 ) 11.9 Trademarks 5.6 ( 1.1 ) 4.5 Total $ 87.8 $ ( 29.3 ) $ 58.5 Amortization expense for intangible assets, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, was $ 5.4 million and $ 6.1 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Expected annual amortization expense of other intangible assets, based upon December 31, 2021 U.S. dollar values, for the next five years is as follows: $ 4.3 million in 2022, $ 4.3 million in 2023, $ 4.3 million in 2024, $ 3.9 million in 2025 and $ 3.5 million in 2026. The weighted-average amortization period for intangible assets is as follows: Intangible assets subject to amortization Weighted-Average Useful Lives (Years) Customer relationships 11 Patents and technology 5 Trademarks 15 F-33 Table of Contents NOTE 13— Current and Long-Term Financing The following table summarizes available and outstanding borrowings: December 31 2021 2020 Total outstanding borrowings: Revolving credit agreements $ 165.3 $ 0.7 Term loan, net 218.6 163.1 Other debt 106.4 96.7 Finance lease obligations 28.2 28.7 Total debt outstanding $ 518.5 $ 289.2 Plus: discount on term loan and unamortized deferred financing fees 5.3 1.9 Total debt outstanding, gross $ 523.8 $ 291.1 Current portion of borrowings outstanding $ 256.8 $ 83.1 Long-term portion of borrowings outstanding $ 261.7 $ 206.1 Total available borrowings, net of limitations, under revolving credit agreements $ 330.4 $ 267.1 Unused revolving credit agreements $ 165.1 $ 266.4 Weighted average stated interest rate on total borrowings 4.2 % 3.4 % Weighted average effective interest rate on total borrowings (including interest rate swap agreements) 3.6 % 2.4 % Annual maturities of total debt, excluding finance leases, are as follows: 2022 $ 247.5 2023 16.3 2024 10.4 2025 6.7 2026 2.3 Thereafter 212.4 $ 495.6 Interest paid on total debt was $ 14.5 million, $ 13.0 million and $ 19.5 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has a $ 300.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that expires in June 2026. There were $ 155.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2021. The availability under the Facility, at December 31, 2021, was $ 140.1 million, which reflects reductions of $ 4.9 million for letters of credit and other restrictions. As of December 31, 2021, the Facility consisted of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $ 210.0 million and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility of $ 90.0 million. The Facility replaced the Company's previous revolving credit facility, which was to expire April 28, 2022. The Facility can be increased up to $400.0 million over the term of the Facility in minimum increments of $10.0 million, subject to approval by the lenders. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a first priority lien on working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which includes but is not limited to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory, and a second priority lien on the present and future shares of capital stock, fixtures and general intangibles consisting of intellectual property. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $ 1.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate, LIBOR or EURIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins are based on the total excess availability, as defined in the Facility, and range from 0.25 % to 0.75 % for U.S. base rate loans and 1.25 % to 1.75 % for LIBOR, EURIBOR and foreign base rate loans. The applicable margins, as of December 31, 2021, for U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.50 % and 1.25 %, respectively. The applicable margin, as of December 31, 2021, for non-U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 1.25 %. The applicable interest rates for borrowings outstanding under the Facility on December 31, 2021 was 3.75 %, 1.60 % and 1.50 % for the U.S. base rate, LIBOR and EURIBOR loans, respectively. The Facility also required the payment of a fee of 0.25 % per annum on the unused commitments as of December 31, 2021. The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company subject to certain thresholds, as provided in the Facility. The Facility limits the payment of dividends and other F-34 Table of Contents restricted payments the Company may make unless certain total excess availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio thresholds, each as set forth in the Facility, are satisfied. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio when total excess availability is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base, as defined in the Facility, and $20.0 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility. The Company also has a $ 225.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which matures in May 2028. The Term Loan replaced the Company’s previous term loan facility, which was set to mature on May 30, 2023. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing September 30, 2021 in an amount equal to $562,500 and the final principal repayment is due in May 2028. The Company may also be required to make mandatory prepayments, in certain circumstances, as provided in the Term Loan. At December 31, 2021, there was $ 223.9 million of principal outstanding under the Term Loan which has been reduced in the Consolidated Balance Sheet by $ 5.3 million of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees. The obligations under the Term Loan are generally secured by a first priority lien on the present and future shares of capital stock, material real property, fixtures and general intangibles consisting of intellectual property and a second priority lien on working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which includes, but is not limited to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Term Loan was $ 700 million as of December 31, 2021. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate or Eurodollar rate, as defined in the Term Loan, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin, as provided in the Term Loan, is 2.50 % for U.S. base rate loans and 3.50 % for Eurodollar loans. In addition, the Term Loan includes a Eurodollar rate floor of 0.50 %. The interest rate on the amount outstanding under the Term Loan at December 31, 2021 was 4.00 %. In addition, the Term Loan includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company subject to certain thresholds, as provided in the Term Loan. The Term Loan limits the payment of dividends and other restricted payments the Company may make in any fiscal year, unless the consolidated total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan, does not exceed 2.50 to 1.00 at the time of the payment. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Term Loan. The Company incurred fees of $ 7.6 million and $ 0.4 million in 2021 and 2019, respectively. No fees were incurred in 2020. These fees related to amending the Facility and the Term Loan. These fees were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the applicable debt agreements. Fees related to the Term Loan are presented as a direct deduction of the corresponding debt. The Company had other debt outstanding, excluding finance leases, of approximately $ 106.4 million at December 31, 2021. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility of $ 140.1 million, the Company had remaining availability of $ 24.9 million related to other non-U.S. revolving credit agreements. NOTE 14— Leasing Arrangements The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. The Company has elected to not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use ("ROU") asset for short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less). For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company has obtained rates from third-party financiers for relevant geographies, currencies and lease terms to determine the incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption of the new lease standard and at the inception of new leases. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is also considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. F-35 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had the following amounts recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: Location on Balance Sheet December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Assets Operating lease assets Other non-current assets $ 68.8 $ 71.3 Finance lease assets Property, plant and equipment, net 28.2 37.5 Total $ 97.0 $ 108.8 Liabilities Current Operating lease liabilities Other current liabilities 16.5 17.6 Finance lease liabilities Current maturities of long-term debt 10.2 7.5 Long-term Operating lease liabilities Other long-term liabilities 56.3 57.7 Finance lease liabilities Long-term debt 18.0 21.2 Total $ 101.0 $ 104.0 Finance lease assets are recorded net of accumulated amortization of $ 17.6 million and $ 18.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization of plant and equipment under finance leases is included in depreciation expense. Finance lease obligations of $ 12.4 million, $ 17.0 million and $ 7.9 million were incurred in connection with lease agreements to acquire machinery and equipment during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, leases with HYGFS included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020, include $ 16.1 million and $ 17.8 million of ROU assets and $ 16.2 million and $ 17.9 million of lease liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates: Operating Leases Finance Leases Weighted-average remaining lease term in years 7.01 3.34 Weighted-average discount rate 4.57 % 3.93 % For the December 31, 2021, the Company recorded the following amounts: Year Ended Year Ended Location on Income Statement December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Operating lease cost Cost of sales $ 10.7 $ 9.3 Operating lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 18.3 16.1 Finance lease cost Amortization of leased assets Cost of sales 7.3 3.8 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 0.7 0.3 Sublease income Revenues ( 9.4 ) ( 8.6 ) Total $ 27.6 $ 20.9 The Company recognizes sublease income primarily related to lift trucks in which the Company records revenues over the term of the lease in accordance with the rental agreements with its customers. Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases of lift trucks as of December 31, 2021 were $ 33.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded the following amounts: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash paid for lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 23.9 $ 22.8 Operating cash flows from finance leases 0.7 0.3 Financing cash flows from finance leases 7.6 4.0 F-36 Table of Contents Year Ended Year Ended December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Non-cash amounts related to right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations Operating 21.8 16.2 Finance 9.8 3.0 Annual maturities of lease liabilities are as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases Total 2022 $ 19.3 $ 10.2 $ 29.5 2023 15.4 8.6 24.0 2024 11.6 6.0 17.6 2025 8.4 3.0 11.4 2026 6.6 0.4 7.0 Thereafter 25.0 — 25.0 86.3 28.2 114.5 Less: Interest ( 13.5 ) — ( 13.5 ) Net $ 72.8 $ 28.2 $ 101.0 The Company leases certain office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities and machinery and equipment under noncancellable finance and operating leases that expire at various dates through 2037. Many leases include renewal and/or fair value purchase options. NOTE 15— Product Warranties The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours . For certain series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of one to two years or 2,000 or 4,000 hours . For components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 hours . The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company sells separately priced extended warranty agreements that generally provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours . The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts. The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims and the cost of those claims based on historical costs. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim. F-37 Table of Contents Changes in the Company's current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts, are as follows: 2021 2020 Balance at January 1 $ 64.7 $ 65.2 Current year warranty expense 26.0 25.4 Change in estimate related to pre-existing warranties 2.7 5.3 Payments made ( 27.6 ) ( 32.3 ) Foreign currency effect ( 1.1 ) 1.1 Balance at December 31 $ 64.7 $ 64.7 NOTE 16— Contingencies Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its businesses, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized. The Company previously filed lawsuits in Brazil to recover certain social integration and social contribution taxes paid on gross sales, including the ICMS, which is a form of state value added tax. During the course of the lawsuit, many other taxpayers filed lawsuits with the same objective. Due to the increasing number of lawsuits filed, the Federal Supreme Court ("STF") declared that all ongoing legal cases should have their decision suspended until the STF decides on the matter, a decision that was expected to apply to all cases on this topic. In 2019, the Company's legal advisors in Brazil notified the Company that they received judicial notification that the STF had issued a favorable decision in the case granting the Company the right to recover, by offsetting federal tax liabilities, amounts of overpayments collected by the government from 1999 to the present date. The judicial court decision was final and not subject to appeals. The estimate of the refund calculated on a gross basis was approximately 110 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $20 million based on exchange rates as of December 31, 2021. Despite the favorable decision of the STF, the Brazilian tax authorities sought clarification in the same main lawsuit on certain issues, including the value of these credits (i.e., the gross rate or the net credit value), and certain other issues that could have affected the Brazilian taxpayers' rights with respect to these credits, all of which could have materially impacted the realization of the credits. During the second quarter of 2021, the STF ruled in favor of taxpayers that the refund should be calculated on a gross basis. The amount and ultimate timing of realization of these recoveries was dependent upon administrative approvals, generation of federal tax liabilities in Brazil eligible for offset and potential impacts of future legislative actions within Brazil, all of which were uncertain. During 2021, the Company sold these credits at a discount for 42 million Brazilian reais, or $ 7.8 million. In addition, the Company has generated additional tax credits since the favorable decision in 2019 of approximately 12 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $ 2.4 million. The Company recorded approximately $ 8.5 million of income related to these credits for the year ended December 31, 2021 in “Cost of Sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
