NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in Millions, Except Per Share Data)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale, 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 operates through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. ("HYMH") and Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni Group" or "Bolzoni"),

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.

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. 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” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and the results of its operations and changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

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 10, Product Warranties, 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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 unaudited condensed 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 in “Cost of sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Tariff surcharges received as part

of the consideration from customers are included in "Revenues" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total Revenues	$	698.9	$	118.2	$	47.3	$	80.3	$	(34.3)	$	910.4

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 major 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. Service and parts sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of 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 U.S., Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of forklift components to HYMH plants. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price and the amount of consideration received and revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni 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. Amounts below include both current and long-term portions of deferred revenue.


	Deferred Revenue
Balance, December 31, 2025	$	65.6
Customer deposits and billings	16.8
Revenue recognized	(12.3)

Note 4—Business Segments

The Company defines reportable and operating segments on the same basis used to evaluate performance internally by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), which the Company has determined is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company uses operating profit (loss) to evaluate segment profitability. The CODM uses operating profit (loss) to allocate resources predominately in the annual forecasting process and as the measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when assessing segment performance and making decisions about allocating resources to the segments. The Company has four segments, which include three in the lift truck business, as well as Bolzoni.

Operating segments within the lift truck business include the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC, collectively the "lift truck business." Americas includes lift truck operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and the corporate headquarters. EMEA includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes operations in the Asia and Pacific regions, including China. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic operating segments and are included in the reportable segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarters' expenses and information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic operating segments are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic operating segments 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 operating segments of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each operating 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 Bolzoni as a separate segment. Intercompany sales between Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated.

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 operating 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 CODM manages and evaluates the business. These changes did not impact the Company's unaudited 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.

Financial information for each reportable segment is presented in the following table:

Note 5—Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is generally based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's annual earnings or losses, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings or losses will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, carrybacks, capital loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or the tax effect of other unusual or nonrecurring transactions or adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Additionally, the Company's interim effective income tax rate is computed and applied without regard to pre-tax losses where such losses are not expected to generate a current-year tax benefit.

Reported income tax rate	5.6		%	48.2		%

During the first three months of 2026, the Company's reported income tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of recording additional valuation allowances and an interim adjustment from pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit was recognized.

During the first three months of 2025, the Company’s reported income tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of recording additional valuation allowances attributable to the capitalization of research and development expenses under U.S. tax rules in effect at that time.

Note 7—Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. 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 March 31, 2026, the carrying value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $484.4 million and $479.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the carrying value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $473.4 million and $469.1 million, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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 unaudited condensed 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 transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are generally recognized in cost of sales.

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 the associated variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate. 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows with 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 total notional amounts of $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $5.8 million and a net asset of $1.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2026, $1.1 million of the amount of net deferred gain included in OCI at March 31, 2026 is expected to be reclassified as income into the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


Notional Amount				Average Fixed Rate
MARCH 31,		DECEMBER 31		MARCH 31,		DECEMBER 31

$	19.4	20.7		2.21	%	2.20	%	Extending to July 2030

The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $4.2 million and $3.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2026, $4.2 million of the amount included in OCI as net deferred gain is expected to be reclassified as income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements.

Note 8—Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company's policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of government and corporate bonds and publicly traded stocks.

Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company's U.S. and United Kingdom ("U.K.") plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under a defined benefit pension plan. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans. During 2024, the Company and the trustee initiated a de-risking strategy for the U.K. plan, which resulted in changes to the target asset allocation to fixed income and highly-liquid securities. During 2025, the trustee entered into a buy-in contract for the U.K. plan with a third-party insurance company. The trustee may choose to convert the buy-in policy to a buy-out contract by assigning individual insurance contracts to members. This process may extend for a significant period of time. Until any potential buy-out process is completed, the trustee remains responsible for the administration of the

Table of Contents

U.K. plan, allocation of non-insured plan assets and payment of employee retirement benefits. If a buy-out of the U.K. plan is completed in the future and the criteria for settlement accounting is satisfied, any amounts relating to the U.K. plan remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings.

The Company presents the components of net periodic pension expense (benefit), other than service cost, in other (income) expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for its pension plans. Service cost for the Company's pension plan is reported in operating profit. The components of pension expense (benefit) are set forth below:

Inventories are summarized as follows:


	MARCH 31, 2026		DECEMBER 31, 2025
Finished goods and service parts	$	373.4	$	358.8
Work in process	29.5		31.1
Raw materials	353.9		375.0
Total manufactured inventories	756.8		764.9
LIFO reserve	(113.0)		(130.6)
Total inventory	$	643.8	$	634.3

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 49% and 50%, 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. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 10—Product Warranties

The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 operating hours. For certain series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of one to two years or 2,000 or 4,000 operating hours. For certain components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 operating 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 for its lift trucks, which generally provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 operating 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 as part of 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 and anticipated 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.

Changes in the Company's current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts, are as follows:


	2026
Balance at December 31, 2025	$	73.6
Current year warranty expense	11.2
Change in estimate related to pre-existing warranties	0.1
Payments made	(9.1)
Foreign currency effect	(0.2)
Balance at March 31, 2026	$	75.6

Note 11—Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, 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.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") issued a ruling holding that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") are not legally authorized. The Court only ruled on IEEPA tariffs and did not invalidate any other tariffs. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued procedures for IEEPA-related refunds. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded any impact for potential recovery of tariff-related costs as the amounts and timing of refunds are uncertain.

Note 12—Guarantees

Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range from one to five years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $129.7 million and $134.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or

Table of Contents

repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at March 31, 2026 was approximately $172.5 million based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks. The Company also regularly monitors the external credit ratings of the entities for which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. ("WF") to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $31.3 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $16.2 million as of March 31, 2026. The $31.3 million is included in the $129.7 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at March 31, 2026.

Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At March 31, 2026, approximately $110.8 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $129.7 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At March 31, 2026, loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $1.5 billion. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $290.8 million, the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $110.8 million. Excluding the HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from HYGFS’ loans to WF, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to WF is $271.6 million, which is secured by the Company's 20% share of HYGFS' customer receivables and other secured assets of $349.4 million. HYGFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past, and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause HYGFS to default in future periods.

Note 13—Equity and Debt Investments

The Company maintains an interest in one variable interest entity, HYGFS. HYGFS is a joint venture with WF formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and major customers in the U.S. and is included in the Americas segment. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of HYGFS. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and uses the equity method to account for its 20% interest in HYGFS. The Company does not consider its variable interest in HYGFS to be significant.

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SN, a limited liability company which was formed with Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Sumitomo") primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. The Company purchases products from SN under agreed-upon terms. The Company's ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in the JAPIC segment.

The Company's percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in HYGFS and SN is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's equity investments are included on the line “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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.

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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Please refer to the discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed on pages 18 through 19 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2025.

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.

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:

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

Cash flow before financing activities	$	(42.2)	$	(46.7)	$	4.5

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The Company is focused on executing established strategic initiatives and key projects to transform the Company’s core lift truck business while building new business opportunities in the warehouse lift truck, vehicle automation, energy management and attachment business activities. These complementary growth and profit improvement projects should help the Company fulfill these two promises while achieving long-term revenue and operating profit growth. The Company believes key projects will contribute to an increased and sustainable lift truck and attachment competitive advantage over time.

The Company operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on revenues, operating profit and net income (loss) are addressed in the previous discussions of operating results.
