+Added: Looking ahead, the global lift truck market is expected to decrease further in the fourth quarter 2022 and full-year 2023 compared with the respective prior year periods.
+Added: However, global market unit volumes in 2023 are expected to remain relatively strong and above pre-pandemic levels, despite an increasing possibility of a global or regional recession.
+Added: After several years of extraordinary lift truck market growth that stretched supplier capacity to, and in some cases beyond, its limits, a market slowdown could allow the lift truck component supply base to meet the Company's requirements more effectively.
+Added: Operational Perspectives - Lift Truck Business
+Added: The ongoing market decline and the Company's focus on booking orders with a strong margin profile resulted in a significant decrease in lift truck bookings from robust prior-year levels and a sequential decline from the 2022 second quarter.
+Added: Looking forward, bookings levels are expected to decrease year-over-year in the fourth quarter 2022 and full-year 2023 due to the market outlook and the Company’s continued focus on booking higher-margin orders.
+Added: These anticipated decreases combined with planned production levels should help the Company bring its backlog to more competitive levels over the course of 2023.
+Added: Backlog levels have trended down modestly over the past two quarters as bookings have declined, but lead times are still extended.
+Added: Incoming order selectivity has resulted in higher average prices and margins for both unit bookings and backlog.
+Added: As the Company moves through its backlog in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in 2023, lower-margin units, priced in prior years, will have been shipped and the majority of 2023 shipments will be produced from the currently existing higher-margin backlog.
+Added: As a result, average unit margins are expected to continue to improve.
+Added: The Company believes that its current significant backlog level, including expected built-in margin increases over time, and anticipated continued selective bookings at higher margins will lead to improvements in operating profit in 2023.
+Added: In addition, the Company's extended backlog is expected to help mitigate the strain on the business in a recessionary environment.
+Added: The Company expects fourth-quarter 2022 production and shipment volumes to increase over the third quarter 2022 as a result of gradually diminishing supply chain bottlenecks and the substantial backlog level.
+Added: Full-year 2023 production and shipment volumes are expected to increase versus 2022 given the current substantial backlog and as additional supply chain improvements are anticipated to be achieved, further reducing lead times.
+Added: New bookings, consistent with the market outlook, are expected to have sound margins when those trucks are produced in late 2023 and 2024, particularly in the context of more competitive lead times as backlogs are reduced.
+Added: The Company continues to experience cost increases, particularly in EMEA, in part due to higher energy costs as a result of the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict.
+Added: In contrast, Americas and JAPIC cost increases have slowed significantly.
+Added: Forward economic indicators suggest moderate cost inflation trends in 2023, absent any additional effects from the Russia/Ukraine conflict or COVID-related global supply chain constraints.
+Added: Due to the substantial inflationary pressure over the past 18 months, the Lift Truck business implemented several price increases.
+Added: Generally, these price increases are expected to more than fully offset inflationary pressures in 2022 and 2023, and are expected to provide higher margins for trucks which will be produced in upcoming quarters.
+Added: As a result of the above factors, and the expected ongoing benefits from cost-savings initiatives, the Lift Truck business expects to generate operating profit in the 2022 fourth quarter.
+Added: Further improvements are anticipated in 2023 as production volumes are expected to increase and margins are expected to rise due to an improving price to cost ratio.
+Added: The Company's strategic programs are also expected to further enhance margins as they mature, including the further expansion of its modular and scalable product families.
+Added: Therefore, the Lift Truck business expects to generate a substantial operating profit in 2023.
+Added: These assumptions, however, are highly sensitive to the effect of various market forces, particularly those that impact global supply chains.
+Added: Strategic Perspectives - Lift Truck
+Added: From a broader perspective, the Lift Truck Business has three core strategies that are expected to have a transformational impact on the Company’s competitiveness, market position and economic performance as it emerges from the current period of mismatched costs and pricing:

+Added: The Company continues to make progress on its high-priority projects.
+Added: Notably, early in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company announced that its first hydrogen fuel cell powered container handler, powered by Nuvera ® fuel cell engines, began its testing pilot in the Port of Los Angeles.
+Added: Operational and Strategic Perspectives - Bolzoni
+Added: In the fourth quarter of 2022, Bolzoni expects to return to profitability based on projected sales volume increases over the third quarter due to moderating component shortages and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
+Added: Benefits are also expected from lower material cost inflation and ongoing strict cost controls.
+Added: Over the course of 2023, Bolzoni expects component shortages to continue to moderate and increasing prices to help offset higher costs, resulting in increased margins over time and higher operating profit in 2023 versus 2022.

+Added: In 2023, Nuvera expects higher sales with moderately higher costs, resulting in comparable losses to 2022.
Consolidated Outlook
−Removed: Given the continued component shortages due to supply chain constraints and the consequent reduction in production plans, significant material and freight cost inflation, and, more recently, the impact of the COVID-19 lockdowns in China and the Russia/Ukraine conflict, as well as continued losses at Nuvera, the Company, on a consolidated basis, expects a larger net loss in the third quarter of 2022 than previously projected, but a return to net income in the fourth quarter of 2022.
−Removed: However, the fourth quarter net income is not expected to offset the losses generated in the first nine months.
−Removed: Generally, results in the second half of 2022 are expected to be lower than anticipated when the 2022 first quarter earnings release was issued, mainly due to adjustments made to the Company's production schedule as a result of continued supply chain constraints.
−Removed: These expectations are based on the anticipated reasonable resolution of component shortages and relative stabilization of material and freight costs.
−Removed: The Company is managing 2022 capital expenditures, operating expenses and its production plans in a manner designed to protect liquidity.
−Removed: Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $33 million in 2022.
−Removed: The Company has implemented a program of strict controls over operating expenses to reduce cash outflow, including delays in the timing of certain strategic program investments.
−Removed: While the Company expects over time to make these capital expenditures and investments in the business, maintaining liquidity will continue to be a priority.
−Removed: During 2021 and the first half of 2022, the Company's ability to build and ship trucks was significantly constrained by parts shortages of certain critical components while the remaining components needed to build trucks were received and added to inventory, causing inventory levels to increase substantially.
−Removed: In this context, the Company expects to reduce inventory significantly in the second half of 2022 by using current inventory to
−Removed: build trucks, for which production has been significantly delayed due to critical parts shortages, and to receive components as they are needed for production.
−Removed: At June 30, 2022, the Company's cash on hand was $75.6 million and debt was $580.6 million compared with cash on hand of $65.1 million and debt of $479.0 million at March 31, 2022, and cash on hand of $65.5 million and debt of $518.5 million at December 31, 2021.
−Removed: As of June 30, 2022, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of approximately $156 million under the Company's revolving credit facilities compared with $218 million at March 31, 2022.
−Removed: Lift Truck Strategic Perspective
−Removed: Over the remainder of 2022, the Company expects the global lift truck market to continue to decline from the historical highs of 2021, but remain above pre-pandemic levels.
−Removed: As a result of this market outlook and the Company accepting only orders with expected sound margins, the Lift Truck business is anticipating a substantial decrease in bookings during the second half of 2022 compared with the second half of 2021, particularly in the Americas.
−Removed: During 2021, the Company experienced production and shipment levels which were substantially lower than its objectives due to supply chain logistics constraints and component shortages.
−Removed: Some moderation in the number of suppliers with shortages occurred in the first half of 2022, but shortages are anticipated to continue throughout 2022, and possibly continue to escalate in light of the China lockdowns and Russia/Ukraine conflict.
−Removed: As a result, planned production schedules for the second half of 2022 and in 2023 have been reduced from what was expected at the time of last quarter's earnings release.
−Removed: Nevertheless, full-year shipments are currently expected to increase in 2022 over 2021, despite the normal third quarter plant shutdowns, given the Company's robust backlog and actions put in place to mitigate the impact of the supply chain constraints and shortages, with the expectation that supplies of products or commodities are not constrained further.
−Removed: The Company is hopeful that availability will improve and that consequently production can increase over current 2022 and 2023 production schedules.
−Removed: As a result of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, material costs continued to increase in the second quarter of 2022.
−Removed: However, recent signs have indicated some relief from additional material and freight cost inflation in the second half of 2022.
−Removed: In light of cost inflation in 2021 and what is expected over 2022, the Lift Truck business implemented several price increases in 2021 and in the first half of 2022, but many of the orders in the backlog slotted for production in the third and fourth quarters do not reflect the full effect of all these price increases.
−Removed: On the other hand, new bookings are being made at close to target margins based on expected future costs at the time of expected production.
−Removed: Further, the renewal of tariff exclusions is expected to partly offset the anticipated higher material cost inflation in the backlog over the remainder of 2022.
−Removed: Due to the lag between when unit price increases go into effect and when revenue is realized as the units are shipped, as the Lift Truck segment works through its low-margin backlog in the second half of 2022 and early 2023, margins are expected to improve, specifically in the fourth quarter, when the higher-margin, already-booked trucks are expected to be produced and shipped.
−Removed: In the meantime, the Company expects to continue to work aggressively to manage component availability in order to increase production rates and continue to adjust prices as costs change.
−Removed: As a result of these factors, the Lift Truck business expects a significantly lower operating loss in the second half of the year than in the first half, mainly driven by strong operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2022 in the Americas segment.
−Removed: From a broader perspective, the Lift Truck business has three core strategies that are expected to have a transformational impact on the Company’s competitiveness, market position and economic performance as it emerges from the current period of mismatch of costs and pricing.
−Removed: The first is to provide the lowest cost of ownership while enhancing customer productivity.
−Removed: The primary focus of this strategic initiative is the new modular and scalable product projects, which are expected to lay the groundwork for enhanced market position by providing lower cost of ownership and enhanced productivity for the Company’s customers, including low-intensity applications.
−Removed: Additional to this are key projects geared toward electrification of trucks for applications now dominated by internal-combustion engine trucks, automation product options and providing telemetry and operator assist systems.
−Removed: The second core strategy is to be the leader in the delivery of industry- and customer-focused solutions.
−Removed: The primary focus for this strategic initiative is transforming the Company's sales approach by using an industry-focused approach to meet its customers' needs.
−Removed: The third core strategy is to be the leader in independent distribution.
−Removed: The main focus of this strategic initiative is on enhancing dealer and major account coverage, dealer excellence and ensuring outstanding dealer ownership globally.
−Removed: As a result of these core strategies, the increased shipment volume potential of the current backlog and expected bookings in the remainder of 2022, enhanced prices and the renewal of tariff exclusions, the Lift Truck business expects to move from the significant operating loss in the first half of 2022 to operating profit in the fourth quarter.
−Removed: However, as a result of manufacturing inefficiencies expected in the third quarter due to the normal seasonal plant shutdowns and reductions in production volumes due to continued supply chain constraints, as well as unfavorable currency effects, the Company expects a significant operating loss at the Lift Truck business in the third quarter that is higher than the operating loss in the prior year third quarter, and an
−Removed: increase to a substantial operating profit in the fourth quarter that is lower than was anticipated at the time of the 2022 first quarter earnings release.
−Removed: Over the second half of 2022, the Company is projecting the stabilization of product and transportation costs and continued improvement in component and logistics availability, although this could change if the availability of commodities and/or components continues to be seriously affected by various market forces, including an economic recession, the lockdowns in China and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict.
−Removed: The Company is also anticipating the continued introduction of additional modular and scalable product families and the continued implementation of cost-savings initiatives over this period and in the longer term.
−Removed: Overall, as the Company's strategic programs mature, as costs and prices come in line over 2022 and 2023, and as production volumes increase, the Lift Truck business is expected to have an increase to a substantial operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in 2023.
−Removed: However, results for the remainder of 2022 and in 2023 are expected to be lower than projected in the 2022 first quarter earnings release due to lower productions levels than previously anticipated.
−Removed: Bolzoni Strategic Perspective
−Removed: As a result of lower sales and inefficiencies expected from the normal third-quarter seasonal plant shutdowns, reduced demand for legacy components for the Lift Truck business and additional material inflation caused by the Russia/Ukraine conflict, Bolzoni expects near break-even results in the third quarter of 2022.
−Removed: Bolzoni expects a return to profitability in the fourth quarter of 2022 as component shortages moderate, efficiencies return and benefits are realized from pricing actions.
−Removed: Bolzoni expects solid operating profit in the second half of 2022 compared with an operating loss in the second half of 2021.
−Removed: However, operating profit in the second half of 2022 is expected to be significantly lower than in the first half of 2022.
−Removed: Bolzoni continues to focus on implementing its "One Company - 3 Brands" organizational approach to help streamline corporate operations and strengthen its North America and JAPIC commercial operations.
−Removed: Bolzoni is working to increase its Americas business by strengthening its ability to serve key attachment industries and customers in the North America market through the introduction of a broader range of locally produced attachments with shorter lead times, while continuing to sell cylinders and various other components produced in its Sulligent, Alabama plant.
−Removed: Bolzoni is also increasing its sales, marketing and product support capabilities both in North America and Europe based on an industry-specific approach, with an immediate focus on the paper, beverage, appliance, third-party logistics and automotive industries.

−Removed: In addition, Nuvera is developing a new 125kW engine and continues to focus on applications in the forklift truck market.
−Removed: Excluding the impact of the inventory valuation and fixed asset impairment charges taken in 2021, the Company expects moderately reduced losses at Nuvera in 2022 as a result of enhanced fuel cell shipments, although losses in the second half of 2022 are expected to be higher than in the first half as a result of higher operating expenses.
+Added: On a consolidated basis, the Company continues to project a modest operating profit and income before tax in the fourth quarter of 2022.
+Added: However, the Company expects a modest net loss in the fourth quarter due to tax expense on profits in areas where a valuation allowance is not currently provided.
+Added: In future periods, tax benefits currently offset by valuation allowances are expected to be recognized.
+Added: The Company's ongoing efforts to build out its layers of lower-priced, lower-margin backlog in the remainder of 2022 and early 2023 are expected to lead to improving margins and a return to solid operating profit and net income for the 2023 full year.
+Added: These expectations are based on the Company's continuing ability to manage component shortages at planned production levels and reasonable stabilization of material and freight costs.
+Added: The Company is laser-focused on its cash flows, with detailed action plans to improve future results.
+Added: These actions include tightly managing capital expenditures, operating expenses and production plans to maintain adequate liquidity levels.
