HYSTER-YALE, INC. 10-Q

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in Millions, Except Per Share Data) Hyster-Yale, Inc. ("Hyster-Yale" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries, including its operating companies, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. ("HYMH") and Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni Group" or "Bolzoni"), is a globally integrated company offering a full line of high-quality, application-tailored lift trucks and solutions aimed at meeting the specific materials handling needs of its customers. The Company's solutions include attachments, parts, fleet management services, technology and energy solutions. Through HYMH, the Company designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks, attachments, parts, fleet management services, technology and energy solutions marketed globally, primarily under the Hyster ® , Yale ® and Nuvera ® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster ® and Yale ® retail dealerships. The Company's distribution network consisted of approximately 260 independent dealers as of March 31, 2026. The materials handling business historically has been cyclical because the order rate for lift trucks fluctuates depending on the economic activity level in the various industries and countries its customers serve. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured and assembled in the United States ("U.S."), Northern Ireland, China, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Japan, Italy and Vietnam. The Company owns a 90% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal"), a 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. Bolzoni Group manufactures precision-engineered lift truck attachments, forks, masts and lift tables designed for handling delicate and specialized loads. These solutions are marketed under the Bolzoni ® , Auramo ® and Meyer ® brand names and the Silver Line product portfolio. Bolzoni Group also produces components for lift truck manufacturers. Bolzoni products are manufactured in Italy, the U.S., China, Germany, Finland and Brazil. Through the design, production and distribution of a wide range of attachments, Bolzoni Group has a strong presence in the lift-truck attachments market and industrial material handling. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company announced a strategic business realignment of Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera") designed both to increase near-term profits and to create an integrated energy solutions program in the Americas segment, which is part of the HYMH business. Nuvera was merged into HYMH in the second quarter of 2025. As a result, the Company revised its operating segments to reflect changes in the way the chief operating decision maker manages and evaluates the business. These changes did not impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, but did impact its reportable segments. The historical and current results of the former Nuvera segment are now presented within the Americas operating segment. Refer to Note 4, Business Segments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's reportable segments. Comparative prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the segment change.

The dollar value of bookings and backlog is calculated using the current unit bookings and backlog and the forecasted average sales price per unit. As of March 31, 2026, substantially all of the Company's backlog is expected to be sold within the next twelve months. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2026 2025 Bookings, approximate sales value $ 580 $ 590 Backlog, approximate sales value $ 1,410 $ 1,910 First Quarter of 2026 Compared with First Quarter of 2025 The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025: Revenues Lift Truck HY Americas EMEA JAPIC 2025 $ 910.4 $ 698.9 $ 118.2 $ 47.3 Increase (decrease) in 2026 from: Lift Truck Unit volume and product mix (130.4) (113.3) (2.9) (14.2) Price 14.7 15.6 (0.8) (0.1) Parts (8.8) (7.3) (3.1) 1.6 Foreign currency 15.9 1.0 14.0 0.9 Other (16.1) (16.5) 0.6 (0.2) Bolzoni revenues 2.6 — — — Eliminations 6.9 — — — 2026 $ 795.2 $ 578.4 $ 126.0 $ 35.3 Revenues decreased 12.7% to $795.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $910.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in Lift Truck revenues was primarily due to a shift in the mix of sales to lighter-duty, lower-priced models, primarily in the Americas and EMEA. This shift reflects the ongoing market demand for lighter-duty, lower-priced trucks which has led to reduced shipment volumes of the traditional, higher-priced models across all Lift Truck segments. In addition, the Company believes macroeconomic challenges, including ongoing economic uncertainty and cautious customer spending, further reduced potential revenues in the first quarter of 2026. The decline in Lift Truck revenues was partially offset by favorable currency movements and favorable pricing, mainly in the Americas, in the first quarter of 2026. Bolzoni Group's revenues increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to favorable foreign currency movements which more than offset a shift in sales to lower-priced products and lower unit volume. 23 Table of Contents The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit (loss) for the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025: Operating Profit (Loss) Lift Truck HY Americas EMEA JAPIC 2025 $ 21.3 $ 42.5 $ (14.9) $ (7.3) Increase (decrease) in 2026 from: Lift truck gross profit (54.9) (48.8) (4.3) (1.4) Lift truck selling, general and administrative expenses 7.7 5.5 1.4 0.8 Restructuring and impairment charges (1.4) (0.9) (1.3) 0.8 Bolzoni operations (0.7) — — — 2026 $ (28.0) $ (1.7) $ (19.1) $ (7.1) The Company recognized an operating loss of $28.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to operating profit of $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in Lift Truck operating profit was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of tariff costs of approximately $30 million in the Americas, lower parts volume in EMEA, and the shift in sales to lower-duty units, partially offset by the Company’s pricing actions in the Americas and the favorable impact of higher capitalized material costs. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses were lower in all of the Lift Truck segments primarily related to reduced employee-related costs from lower headcount and lower incentive compensation estimates. Bolzoni recognized an operating loss of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with operating profit of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increased employee-related costs included in higher selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized a net loss attributable to stockholders of $30.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with net income attributable to stockholders of $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily the result of lower operating profit. The Company reported an income tax benefit of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2026. See Note 5, Income Taxes , to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows The following tables detail the changes in cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year: 2026 2025 Change Operating activities: Net Income (loss) $ (30.3) $ 8.7 $ (39.0) Depreciation and amortization 11.3 11.0 0.3 Stock-based compensation 4.4 3.5 0.9 Restructuring and impairment charges 1.6 0.2 1.4 Dividends from unconsolidated affiliates 9.1 8.0 1.1 Other operating activities (14.3) 5.7 (20.0) Changes in assets and liabilities Accounts receivable 20.0 (8.0) 28.0 Inventories (8.5) (6.8) (1.7) Other current assets (14.0) (4.2) (9.8) Accounts payable and other liabilities (12.2) (54.5) 42.3 Net cash used for operating activities (32.9) (36.4) 3.5 Investing activities: Expenditures for property, plant and equipment (9.8) (10.6) 0.8 Proceeds from the sale of assets 0.5 0.3 0.2 Net cash used for investing activities (9.3) (10.3) 1.0 Cash flow before financing activities $ (42.2) $ (46.7) $ 4.5 24 Table of Contents Net cash used for operating activities decreased $3.5 million in the first three months of 2026 compared with the first three months of 2025, primarily due to the lower use of cash in other liabilities primarily due to reduced employee-related payments, including incentive compensation, in the first three months of 2026. In addition, accounts receivable decreased primarily from lower revenue volume. These amounts were partially offset by the change in net income (loss) and other operating activities. The change in net cash used for investing activities during the first three months of 2026 compared with the first three months of 2025 was mainly due to lower capital expenditures. 2026 2025 Change Financing activities: Net increase of long-term debt and revolving credit agreements $ 8.4 $ 36.6 $ (28.2) Cash dividends paid (6.4) (6.2) (0.2) Purchase of treasury stock (0.7) (4.5) 3.8 Net cash provided by financing activities $ 1.3 $ 25.9 $ (24.6) The change in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a smaller increase in net borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities during the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025. Financing Activities The Company has a $300.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) that expires in June 2030. The Facility consists of a domestic revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $210.0 million and a foreign revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $90.0 million. The Facility can be increased to 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 and guarantors 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 $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2026. 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 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 March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility. Key terms of the Facility as of March 31, 2026 were as follows: FACILITY U.S. borrowing capacity $ 210.0 Non-U.S. borrowing capacity 90.0 Less: outstanding amount 98.9 Less: availability restrictions 4.5 Availability $ 196.6 25 Table of Contents FACILITY Applicable margins, as defined in agreement U.S. base rate loans 0.25% to 0.75% Term SOFR, EURIBOR and non-U.S. base rate loans 1.25% to 1.75% Applicable margins, for amounts outstanding U.S. base rate loans 0.50% Term SOFR loans 1.50 % Non-U.S. base rate loans 1.50% Applicable interest rate, for amounts outstanding U.S. base rate 7.25% Term SOFR 5.17% Facility fee, per annum on unused commitment 0.25% The Company also has a $225.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which matures in May 2028. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments on the last day of each March, June, September and December, which commenced September 30, 2021, in an amount equal to approximately $0.6 million 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. 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 U.S. working capital assets of the borrowers and guarantors of 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 $0.7 billion as of March 31, 2026. 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 March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Term Loan. Key terms of the Term Loan as of March 31, 2026 were as follows: TERM LOAN Outstanding $ 215.0 Less: discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees 2.3 Net amount outstanding $ 212.7 Applicable margins, as defined in agreement U.S. base rate loans 2.50% SOFR 3.50% SOFR adjustment, as defined in agreement 0.11% SOFR floor 0.50% Applicable interest rate, for amounts outstanding 7.28% The Company had other debt outstanding, excluding finance leases, of approximately $172.8 million at March 31, 2026. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility of $196.6 million, the Company had remaining availability of $50.5 million related to other non-U.S. revolving credit agreements at March 31, 2026. The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, the Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments during the next twelve months and the foreseeable future thereafter. 26 Table of Contents Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments Since December 31, 2025, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of the Company's contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported on page 25 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Capital Expenditures The following table summarizes actual and planned capital expenditures: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Planned for Remainder of 2026 Planned 2026 Total Actual 2025 Lift truck business $ 8.7 $ 36-46 $ 45-55 $ 54.3 Bolzoni 1.1 9-14 10-15 8.2 $ 9.8 $ 45-60 $ 55-70 $ 62.5 Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2026 are primarily for improvements at manufacturing locations and manufacturing equipment, product development and improvements to information technology infrastructure. Management will closely monitor market conditions and may adjust investments levels and timing as market visibility improves. The primary sources of financing for these capital expenditures are expected to be internally generated funds and bank financing. Capital Structure The Company's capital structure is presented below: MARCH 31, 2026 DECEMBER 31, 2025 Change Cash and cash equivalents $ 81.8 $ 123.2 $ (41.4) Other net tangible assets 788.8 775.5 13.3 Intangible assets 31.0 32.3 (1.3) Goodwill 54.6 55.7 (1.1) Net assets 956.2 986.7 (30.5) Total debt (505.3) (494.3) (11.0) Total temporary and permanent equity $ 450.9 $ 492.4 $ (41.5) Debt to total capitalization 53 % 50 % 3 % OUTLOOK The Company expects 2026 to represent a year of sequential improvement, with the first half having lower shipment volumes, additional Section 232 tariffs, and broader macroeconomic pressures, followed by improvement in the second half driven by stronger bookings, adequate backlogs, and ongoing cost actions. The Company’s 2026 outlook has been updated to reflect the introduction of additional Section 232 tariffs and the ongoing Iran conflict, which has contributed to higher material prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased uncertainty, affecting margins, product availability, and demand. As a result, expectations originally communicated for 2026 have been reduced. Key tariff‑related assumptions underlying the outlook include: • U.S. tariff policies in effect as of April 2026 serve as the baseline; • continued application of Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, copper, and certain derivative products, now including recent changes that expand tariff coverage and apply duties to the full customs value of covered products; • continued application of Section 301 tariffs on Chinese‑origin goods, including lift truck components, with current product‑specific exclusions scheduled to expire in November 2026; • the temporary global import surcharge imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which replaced tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), is assumed to remain in effect through its statutory expiration in July 2026; • no assumed benefit from potential tariff‑related recoveries due to uncertainty around timing and amount; • no additional new tariffs or material escalation of existing tariff rates beyond current statutory authorities; • demand forecasts based on bookings trends, backlog levels, and available market data; and • the successful execution of the Company’s tariff mitigation and cost management initiatives. 27 Table of Contents Tariffs are expected to remain a material headwind throughout 2026. While mitigation actions, including pricing initiatives, sourcing adjustments, and product‑cost reductions, are expected to partially offset higher tariff‑related costs, the Company does not expect to fully recover these impacts. Tariff expenses are expected to increase in Q2 2026 before mitigation benefits, which are expected to become more meaningful in the second half of the year. Operational Initiatives and Cost‑Reduction Programs During the first quarter, the Company maintained a strong focus on operational efficiency, continuing to align its production footprint and organizational structure with market demand. Efforts to improve competitiveness and profitability remain central, supported by Nuvera's strategic realignment, restructuring initiatives, and long-term manufacturing optimization projects. Nuvera’s strategic realignment, completed in 2025, delivered $15 million in cost savings for 2025 and enabled the redeployment of resources toward higher-growth areas. In Q4 2025, the Company launched a restructuring program targeting annualized cost reductions of $40–$45 million beginning in 2026. By the end of Q1 2026, the Company began to see cost savings from this initiative, as reflected in the quarterly results. These actions are expected to help address ongoing market pressures and position the Company for future growth as a leaner, more agile organization. Manufacturing footprint optimization projects, initiated in late 2024, are progressing as expected. The Company expects additional costs of $10–$12 million in 2026 and $3–$6 million in 2027. While initial benefits in 2026 are projected to be minimal due to lower production volumes during the transition, the Company anticipates significant improvements beginning in 2027, with annualized income and cash benefits of $30–$40 million expected in 2028 once these programs are fully implemented. Overall, the Company’s comprehensive cost-reduction strategy balances immediate actions with longer-term initiatives, driving operational efficiency and organizational agility while maintaining investments in key strategic programs. As a result, the Company is positioned to achieve substantial savings, support sustainable growth, and enhance financial resilience. Projected cost savings are stated prior to expected increases in operating expenses, which are anticipated to be in line with inflation. • Restructuring program: Targeting $40–$45 million in annualized cost reductions expected in 2026. The Company has begun to see these cost reductions in its Q1 2026 results. • Manufacturing footprint optimization: Expected savings of $20–$30 million in 2027, fully implemented by 2028 with expected annualized benefits of $30–$40 million. Lift Truck Business Since Q1 2025, the global lift truck industry has expanded across all major geographic regions, with the most notable growth occurring in the JAPIC market. Despite this industry-wide expansion, the Company’s performance has been lower than the overall market, in both dealer and retail sales. However, the Company has seen encouraging momentum in North America, particularly with increased bookings of Class 5 trucks. The Company expects bookings to strengthen significantly in the second half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2026; with a significant impact coming from the full availability and market understanding of the Company's new value and standard product offerings. The introduction of additional Section 232 tariffs and the ongoing Iran conflict have prompted the Company to revise its projections. Tariffs and the Iran conflict have contributed to increased material prices, supply chain disruptions, and heightened uncertainty, all of which have affected margin, product availability, and overall demand. As a result, second half financial results appear lower than the Company expected in Q4 2025. Booking trends at the start of 2026 have been encouraging. Q1 2026 bookings surpassed Q4 2025, with Americas showing steady improvement and EMEA delivering strong gains, supported by increased quoting and higher conversion rates from quotes to orders. Looking ahead, the Company expects demand for bookings to gradually increase as customer confidence returns and replacement-driven activity increases due to aging fleets and greater maintenance needs. Backlog began to build in Q1 2026, due to an improvement in bookings after the Q3 2025 cycle low. Although shipments and bookings in Q1 2026 did not reach initial targets and backlog remains at or below the typical three- to four-month range, this recovery is helping position the Company for increased production rates starting in Q3 2026. 28 Table of Contents While bookings and backlog have not yet returned to anticipated levels, the positive momentum in Q1 2026 strengthens the Company's confidence in the ongoing recovery. The Company will continue to monitor market dynamics and adjust its outlook as customer sentiment and broader economic conditions require. Order activity typically has an impact on revenue with a lag due to the timing between bookings, production, and shipments. In the first quarter, bookings exceeded orders, allowing backlog to grow. Management anticipates Q2 2026 shipments will be the low point of the current cycle, with improved bookings leading to a gradual rebuild of backlog to target levels. Q3 2026 is expected to bring the first significant improvement in shipments compared to 2025, and higher volumes are anticipated in the second half of the year. The Company believes this should support a more normalized operating cadence and greater manufacturing efficiency. Margins are expected to improve compared to Q1 2026 as market conditions stabilize and the product mix begins to shift and prices begin to recover unanticipated tariff costs to some degree. However, margins are not anticipated to return to the elevated levels experienced during the post-COVID pandemic high backlog period in 2023 and 2024. The ongoing demand for lighter-duty, lower-priced models, often aggressively priced by foreign competitors, especially in South America and Europe, continues to have an impact on overall product mix and margin performance. The Company has expanded its offerings to better serve these segments, and we are beginning to see market acceptance, with early introductions of newer models proving successful. This initial traction positions the Company well for continued gains as broader market adoption increases. Over time, the Company’s modular and scalable product portfolio is expected to continue to strengthen competitiveness and support margin recovery as volumes normalize, though not to the peak levels seen in the post-COVID period. Tariff costs on steel, Chinese‑origin components, and other imports are expected to increase compared to Q1 2026 levels with the additional Section 232 tariffs. The Company is actively evaluating additional mitigation actions, however tariffs are expected to continue to affect both the Company’s cost structure and customer purchasing behavior. The Company expects a significant increase in tariff expenses in Q2 2026 for which mitigation actions, including pricing, sourcing initiatives, and product‑cost reductions implemented by the Company, will not yet be in place. However, the second half of the year is expected to improve significantly, although the Company does not expect to fully offset all tariff‑related costs. Ongoing operational and cost‑reduction initiatives are expected to generate year‑over‑year improvements in fixed manufacturing and operating expenses. Combined with gradually improving shipment volumes, these actions are expected to support improved manufacturing effectiveness and a meaningful improvement in second half operating profit in 2026, despite a lower‑margin product mix. The Company remains focused on disciplined execution, proactive cost management, and aligning its product portfolio with evolving market demand to strengthen its competitive position. Bolzoni Group Bolzoni Group is projected to achieve modest improvements in profitability in 2026. Although revenues may decline slightly due to the planned phase-out of certain legacy components previously supplied to the Lift Truck business, the Company’s ongoing shift toward higher-margin attachment products and improved plant utilization are expected to drive margin expansion. Management remains focused on optimizing the product mix and reinforcing operational discipline throughout its global facilities. In Q2 2026, Bolzoni Group anticipates a slight uptick in revenue and a more pronounced increase in operating profit compared to Q1 2026. This improvement is primarily attributed to the strong performance of higher-margin attachment products, as certain product introductions and advanced technology attachments gain traction in the market. As Bolzoni Group advances its transition to a more profitable product mix, management expects Q2 2026 to mark a meaningful step forward in both revenue quality and overall profitability. Consolidated On a consolidated basis, the Company expects to deliver a modest full-year operating profit for 2026. While the first half of the year is anticipated to be a significant loss position, driven by lower shipment volumes resulting from reduced bookings and backlog in 2025, as well as the impact of additional Section 232 tariffs, the Iran conflict, other macroeconomic pressures, and a low quarter tax rate the Company believes that Q2 2026 will represent its financial low point. As the Company moves into the second half of 2026, strengthened booking activity, a recovering backlog and pricing adjustments are expected to fuel revenue growth. In addition, higher-margin growth initiatives, ongoing cost-reduction efforts, and operational efficiency improvements are expected to drive a meaningful rebound in operating profit. Management expects positive developments in the second‑half of the year to more than offset first half losses, resulting in a modest full-year operating profit and a higher full-year tax rate with improved full‑year financial performance compared to 2025. 29 Table of Contents The Company remains focused on liquidity management by optimizing working capital and maintaining strict control over capital and operating expenses. In the first half of 2026, cash flow is expected to reflect increased usage due to higher tariffs and expenses tied to ramping up production; however, these impacts are expected to partially offset by improved cash generation from inventory optimization in 2026. Working capital efficiency is expected to improve due to closer alignment of production and inventory with current market conditions as the Company moves to higher production. The Company anticipates meaningful operating cash flow in the second half of 2026, largely driven by a return to profitability and continued cost optimization. Net income is expected to support positive cash flow in the latter half of the year. Overall, cash flow from operations for full-year 2026 is projected to be moderately below 2025 levels. While investment in modular development and critical capital equipment, including information technology, remains central to the Company’s ongoing transformation, the Company is prepared to adjust or defer certain projects if necessary. This disciplined approach is expected to help the Company maintain liquidity to support a strong recovery in the second half of the year. Capital expenditures for 2026 are projected to range from $55–$70 million, with spending carefully monitored and adjusted in line with production levels and market conditions. As the Company generates cash in the future, the Company expects to apply our capital allocation framework by reducing leverage, pursuing strategic investments that support profitable growth, and delivering strong long-term returns to shareholders. Long-Term Objectives The Company's vision is to transform the way the world moves materials from Port to Home. It strives to do this through its two customer promises: first, to provide optimal customer solutions, and second, to provide exceptional customer care.
