HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (“Hyster-Yale” or the “Company”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. Also included is Shanghai Hyster Forklift Ltd., a 75%-owned joint venture in China. All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. ("NMHG"), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally primarily under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Mexico, the Philippines, The Netherlands, Italy, Japan, Vietnam, Brazil and China.

Investments in Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Company, Ltd. (“SN”), a 50%-owned joint venture, and NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a 20%-owned joint venture, are accounted for by the equity method. SN operates manufacturing facilities in Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam from which the Company purchases certain components and lift trucks. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Sumitomo") owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. NFS is a joint venture with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. National Account customers are large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from these equity investments is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” portion of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 September 30, 2013 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its cash flows and changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 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, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013:

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance on the offsetting of assets and liabilities, which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The guidance requires additional disclosures regarding offsetting arrangements of balance sheet derivatives to enable financial statement users to understand the effect of these arrangements on a company’s financial position. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 7. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the presentation requirements for reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013. The

7

Table of Contents

Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013 and has included the disclosures in Note 3. As this guidance only affected disclosures, the adoption did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on joint and several liability arrangements, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance provides for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and for which no other specific guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles exists. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance clarifies the accounting treatment for cumulative translation adjustments when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, an equity method investment that is a foreign entity and an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity. In addition, the guidance clarifies the attributes of a sale of an investment in a foreign entity. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on unrecognized tax benefits, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2014. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of the guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior periods' unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Programs
During 2008 and 2009, based on the decline in economic conditions, the Company's management reduced its number of employees worldwide. As a result, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $6.3 million in 2008 and $3.4 million in 2009 related to severance. During 2009, $1.1 million of the accrual was reversed as a result of a reduction in the expected amount paid to employees. Severance payments of $0.1 million were made under this plan during the first nine months of 2013. Payments of $0.4 million are expected to be made during the remainder of 2013. No further charges related to this plan are expected.

Following is the activity related to the liability for the restructuring and related programs. Amounts for severance expected to be paid within one year are included on the line “Accrued payroll” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The cost of certain manufactured inventories, including service parts, has been determined using the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) method. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 52% of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method. 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 6 - Current and Long-Term Financing

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $86.9 million outstanding under a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $3.8 million from December 2013 through September 2017 with the balance of the loan being due in full in December 2017. These required quarterly payments were reduced in September 2013 from $4.6 million to reflect a voluntary prepayment of $20.0 million made in the third quarter of 2013. Since the Company determined it reasonably expected to use cash on hand at September 30, 2013 to prepay the remaining balance outstanding under the Term Loan within the next twelve months in connection with the potential refinancing of the current revolving line of credit (the "Facility"), the remaining balance of $86.9 million outstanding under the Term Loan is included on the line “Current maturities of long-term debt” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 capital 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 September 30, 2013, the fair value and book value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $110.9 million. At December 31, 2012, the fair value and book value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $135.6 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies. 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 ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and is also 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 its variable rate financings are predominately based upon the three-month LIBOR. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the 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. The ineffective portion of derivatives that are classified as hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and included on the line “Other” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest rate swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts held by the Company have been designated as hedges of forecasted cash flows. The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

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 included on the line “Cost of sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations.

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the LIBOR swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation.

Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $326.4 million at September 30, 2013, primarily denominated in euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $428.7 million at December 31, 2012, primarily denominated in euros, British pounds, Japanese yen, Swedish kroner, Australian dollars and Mexican pesos. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net asset of $0.5 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next twelve 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 September 30, 2013, $1.0 million of the amount included in OCI is expected to be reclassified as a loss into the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.

Interest Rate Derivatives: At September 30, 2013, the Company has interest rate swap agreements that are expected to hedge interest payments on its future three-month LIBOR borrowings. These contracts begin on December 31, 2014 and extend to December 31, 2018 for a notional amount of $100.0 million. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $2.0 million at September 30, 2013 and a net liability of $0.7 million at December 31, 2012.

Note 8 - Equity Investments

The Company maintains an interest in one variable interest entity, NFS. NFS is a joint venture with GECC formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States 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 NFS. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and uses the equity method to account for its 20% interest in NFS. The Company does not consider its variable interest in NFS to be significant.

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SN, a limited liability company which was formed 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 normal trade terms based on current market prices. The Company's ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in the Asia-Pacific segment.

The Company's percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in NFS 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 “Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company's investment in NFS was $8.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and the Company's investment in SN was $28.4 million and $31.4 million, respectively.

Note 9 - Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its businesses, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.

Note 10 - 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $154.2 million and $146.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, 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 repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at September 30, 2013 was approximately $167.0 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 September 30, 2013, 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 GECC to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $36.6 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $7.6 million as of September 30, 2013. The $36.6 million is included in the $154.2 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2013.

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 NFS or other unrelated third parties. NFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within GECC may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through NFS. At September 30, 2013, approximately $125.3 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $154.2 million related to transactions with NFS. In addition, in connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to GECC for 20% of NFS' debt with GECC, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of NFS' debt agreements with GECC in the case of default by NFS. At September 30, 2013, the amount of NFS' debt guaranteed by the Company was $139.2 million. NFS 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 NFS to default in future periods.

Note 11 - Product Warranties

The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For certain components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 hours. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.

In addition, the Company sells separately-priced extended warranty agreements which provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.

The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims to be processed and the cost of processing those claims based on historical costs.

The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.

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

Note 12 - Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is 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, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating 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 other unusual or non-recurring tax 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 effective annual income tax rate.

The Company's effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of income taxed in non-U.S. jurisdictions at tax rates lower than the U.S. and federal tax credits, primarily for research and development, partially offset by state income tax expense. During 2012, the income tax rate also included the utilization of valuation allowances against current earnings, primarily in U.S. state, United Kingdom and Australian taxing jurisdictions.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized discrete tax items for the settlement of certain U.S. income tax audits, research and development credits and a change in the United Kingdom tax law and rate. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company determined that its United Kingdom deferred tax assets met the more likely than not threshold required for realization based upon the anticipated timing of deferred temporary differences, the continuing trend of earnings, the projection of future taxable income, and the improving assessment of the economic environment affecting the Company's European operations. As a result of this determination, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $12.8 million from the release of valuation allowances previously provided. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company also recognized $1.4 million of discrete tax benefits, primarily related to certain U.S. and foreign tax law changes during the first quarter of 2013.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company received approval from the Internal Revenue Service for an election regarding the U.S. tax treatment of contributions to certain of the Company's non-U.S. pension plans. As a result of the approval, the Company released $2.1 million of the deferred tax liability provided for unremitted foreign earnings in the second quarter of 2012.

Note 13 - 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 publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds.
Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company's U.S. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.

Table of Contents

The Company previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that it expected to contribute approximately $2.2 million and $3.6 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2013. The Company now expects to contribute approximately $1.8 million and $3.5 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2013.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $1.2 million resulting from lump-sum distributions during the first nine months of 2013 exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for one of its U.S. pension plans. The Company remeasured the plan as of September 30, 2013 using a discount rate of 4.30% compared to the December 31, 2012 discount rate of 3.55%. As result of the remeasurement, the funded status of the plan increased by $4.3 million and accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $5.5 million ($3.3 million net of tax).

Note 14 - Business Segments

The Company’s reportable segments include the following three management units: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Americas includes its operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and its corporate headquarters. Europe includes its operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Asia-Pacific includes its operations in the Asia-Pacific region including China, as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic management units and are included in the segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarter's expenses and certain information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global business.

Note 15 - Other Events and Transactions

During the second quarter of 2013, NACCO Materials Handling Group Brasil Ltda. (“NMHG Brasil”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Synergy Empreendimentos E Participacoes Ltda. ("Synergy") to sell real estate and an operating facility for an aggregate purchase price of 42.5 million Brazilian reais ("R$") (approximately U.S.$19.5 million, including payments received and expected future payments at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.23, as of September 30, 2013), subject to certain conditions. The sale of the land and facility is expected to be completed on July 22, 2014, or such earlier date as the parties may agree (the "Sale Date"). The proceeds from the sale of the land and facility are expected to be paid in three installments: 1) R$21,000,000 (US$9.9 million at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.13) (the "Upfront Payment"), which was received by the Company during the second quarter of 2013 2) R$2,000,000 (approximately U.S.$0.9 million at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.23, as of September 30, 2013), which will be deposited into an escrow account at the Sale Date, subject to release to NMHG Brasil upon conclusion of certain environmental remediation; and 3) R$19,500,000 (approximately U.S.$8.7 million at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.23, as of September 30, 2013) on the Sale Date. The anticipated proceeds from the sale are expected to be used for a new facility in Brazil.

Under certain circumstances, the agreement can be terminated by either NMHG Brasil or Synergy. In the event of termination by Synergy due to the inability of NMHG Brasil to comply with the terms of the agreement, Synergy will generally be entitled to receive a payment from NMHG Brasil of 2% of the aggregate purchase price under the agreement and the return of the Upfront Payment. In the event of termination by Synergy due to NMHG Brasil's refusal to execute the deed for the property, NMHG Brasil will return the Upfront Payment and in addition will pay to Synergy an amount equal to 25% of the Upfront Payment. In the event of termination due to the failure of Synergy to meet its obligations under the agreement, NMHG Brasil will generally be entitled to retain 25% of the Upfront Payment and must return the remainder of the Upfront Payment to Synergy.

As of September 30, 2013, the net book value of the land and operating facility of NMHG Brasil was approximately $0.8 million. The first installment of $9.9 million is included on the line "Other current liabilities" as a deposit in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and on the line "Other" in the Investing Activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Any gain on the sale of the real estate and facility by NMHG Brasil is expected to be recorded at the time of the Sale Date.

Revenues increased 10.0% to $643.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $585.6 million in the third quarter of 2012. The improvement was primarily a result of an increase in the Americas in unit volumes, other revenue, including National Account customers' maintenance and service revenue, unit price and parts volumes. The increase in unit and parts volume was from continued growth in the Americas market and the effect of higher unit price was mainly attributable to price increases implemented in 2013 to offset the unfavorable effect of weakness in the Brazilian real. The increase in revenues was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements due to the weakening of the Brazilian real and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. The unfavorable currency movements were slightly offset by the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar. In addition, revenues were unfavorably affected by a shift in sales to lower-priced products in the Americas and Europe. Worldwide new unit shipments increased in the third quarter of 2013, primarily in the Americas, to 21,176 units from shipments of 18,045 units in the third quarter of 2012.

The Company recognized operating profit of $31.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $28.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 and operating margin of 4.9% in the third quarter of 2013 compared with 4.8% in the third quarter of 2012. The increases in operating profit and operating margin were primarily due to improved gross profit as a result of the increase in unit and parts volumes and the favorable effect of price increases, all mainly in the Americas. The increases were partially offset by a shift in sales mix to lower-margin products, also primarily in the Americas. Gross margin improved to 17.3% in the third quarter of 2013 from 17.1% in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher estimates for incentive compensation in the third quarter of 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012, increased marketing expenses in the Americas and Europe to support the Company's five strategic initiatives and a required non-cash charge of $1.2 million to recognize a portion of the deferred loss in equity in the income statement resulting from the remeasurement of one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans related to the settlement of a portion of this plan that offers lump-sum payments. In addition, the estimates for the non-cash equity component of incentive compensation increased by $4.3 million during the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to the 43% increase in the market price of the Company's stock during the quarter. Operating profit was also affected by unfavorable foreign currency movements, primarily in the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
 
The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $24.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of increased income tax expense and lower

equity in earnings of NMHG Financial Services, Inc. ("NFS") during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by the factors affecting operating profit. The increase in income tax expense was mainly attributable to higher tax rates as a result of previously released income tax valuation allowances related to the Company's U.S. state, United Kingdom and Australian operations during the second quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012. See Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Backlog

The Company's worldwide backlog level was approximately 28,400 units at September 30, 2013 compared with approximately 25,600 units at September 30, 2012 and approximately 29,300 units at June 30, 2013.

The increases in operating profit and operating margin were primarily due to improved gross profit as a result of the increase in unit and parts volumes and the favorable effect of price increases, primarily in the Americas. Gross margin improved to 17.2% in the first nine months of 2013 from 16.3% in the first nine months of 2012.

one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans related to the settlement of a portion of this plan that offers lump-sum payments. The estimates for the non-cash equity component of incentive compensation increased by $8.6 million during the first nine months of 2013 mainly due to the 84% increase in the market price of the Company's stock during 2013. Operating profit was also affected by unfavorable foreign currency movements, primarily in Europe.
 
The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $84.3 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared with $65.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily the result of the factors affecting operating profit and the favorable effect of the release of $12.8 million of certain portions of previously recorded income tax valuation allowances related to the Company's United Kingdom operations in the first nine months of 2013. The increase was partially offset by higher income tax rates as a result of previously released income tax valuation allowances related to the Company's European, U.S. state and Australian operations during the second quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $20.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012 primarily as a result of the change in other operating activities and the increase in net income, partially offset by the change in working capital. The change in other operating activities was primarily the result of the non-cash adjustment to net income for the stock-based compensation recorded during the first nine months of 2013, a decrease in the amount of cash contributed to the Company's pension plans during the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012 and an increase in dividends received from unconsolidated affiliates during the first nine months of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012. The change in working capital was primarily attributable to a large increase in accounts receivable during the first nine months of 2013, partially offset by a larger increase in accounts payable during the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012. Accounts receivable increased mainly as a result of higher unit volume during the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to higher purchases to support higher anticipated unit volume in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 and a change in the timing of payments to suppliers.

Net cash used for investing activities increased primarily as a result of higher expenditures for property, plant and equipment, mainly in Brazil, including improvements to the Company's information technology infrastructure and initial payments for the new manufacturing facility in Brazil. These expenditures were partially offset by a deposit of $9.9 million, which represents a portion of the purchase price for the sale of the existing Brazil real estate and operating facility. See Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The decrease in net cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012 was primarily the result of cash paid for the refinancing of the Company's previous term loan and financing fees paid for the amendment to the Facility (defined below) and the Term Loan (defined below) during the first nine months of 2012. In addition, the absence of cash dividends paid to NACCO and stock issuance costs paid in the first nine months of 2012 also contributed to the change. These items were partially offset by a $20.0 million voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan, cash dividends paid to stockholders and the purchase of treasury shares in the first nine months of 2013.

Financing Activities

The Company has a $200.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility”) that expires in March 2017. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility at September 30, 2013. The excess availability under the Facility, at September 30, 2013, was $192.4 million, which reflects reductions of $7.6 million for letters of credit. The obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign borrowings, foreign subsidiaries. The obligations under the Facility are secured by a first lien on all domestic personal property and assets other than intellectual property, plant, property and equipment (all such property and assets, the “ABL Collateral”) and a second lien on all intellectual property, plant, property and equipment (the “Term Loan Collateral”). The approximate book value of the Company's assets held as ABL Collateral and Term Loan Collateral under the Facility was $760 million as of September 30, 2013.

The maximum availability under the Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against the inventory and accounts receivable of the borrowers, as defined in the Facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the Facility. A portion of the availability can be denominated in British pounds or euros. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate which can be a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2013, for domestic base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The applicable margin, effective September 30, 2013, for foreign overdraft loans was 2.00%. The domestic and foreign floating rates of interest applicable to the Facility on September 30, 2013 were 4.00% and a range of 2.25% to 2.50%, respectively, including the applicable floating rate margin. The Facility also requires the payment of a fee of 0.375% to 0.50% per annum on the unused commitment based on the average daily outstanding balance during the preceding month. At September 30, 2013, the fee was 0.50%.

The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is between twenty percent and thirty percent, the Company may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, as defined in the Facility. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than or equal to thirty percent, the Company may pay dividends without any minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. At September 30, 2013, the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, was greater than thirty percent. In addition, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.

NMHG has a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) that provides for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million, which mature in December 2017. The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with available cash on hand, were used to repay NMHG's previous term loan entered into in 2006. At September 30, 2013, there was $86.9 million outstanding under the Term Loan, which reflects a voluntary prepayment of $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. The Term Loan previously required quarterly payments of $4.6 million through September 2017, with the balance of the loan being due in full in December 2017. As a result of the voluntary prepayment, the Term Loan currently requires quarterly payments of $3.8 million from December 2013 through September 2017, with the balance of the loan being due in full in December 2017. Since the Company determined it reasonably expected to use cash on hand at September 30, 2013 to prepay the remaining balance

outstanding under the Term Loan within the next twelve months in connection with the potential refinancing of the Facility, the remaining balance of $86.9 million outstanding under the Term Loan is included on the line “Current maturities of long-term debt” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by substantially all of NMHG’s domestic subsidiaries. The
obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first lien on the Term Loan Collateral and a second lien on the ABL Collateral. The approximate book value of NMHG's assets held as ABL Collateral and Term Loan Collateral under the Term Loan was $760 million as of September 30, 2013.

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at NMHG’s option, a
base rate plus a margin of 3.00% or LIBOR with a 1.00% floor, as defined in the Term Loan, plus a margin of 4.00%. The weighted average interest rate on the amount outstanding under the Term Loan at September 30, 2013 was 5.00%.

The Term Loan includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends based on the restrictive covenants in the Facility. The Term Loan also requires the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 2013, NMHG was in compliance with the covenants in the Term Loan.

In addition to the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, the Company had borrowings of approximately $24.0 million of other debt at September 30, 2013. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility, the Company had $46.6 million of remaining availability related to other foreign revolving credit agreements.

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 until the expiration of the Facility in March 2017. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the Company determined it reasonably expected to use cash on hand at September 30, 2013 to prepay the remaining outstanding balance under the Term Loan within the next twelve months in connection with the potential refinancing of the Facility. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential uses of its cash on hand, including the potential prepayment of a portion or all of the remaining balance under the Term Loan, based on certain risks, including but not limited to, prevailing market conditions, the ability to obtain favorable or acceptable refinancing terms and the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity on an on-going basis. Based on the evaluation of these risks, there can be no assurance any additional prepayments under the Term Loan will be made in the future or that the Company will refinance the Facility.
 
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $20.0 million under the Term Loan. As a result of this voluntary prepayment, the required future quarterly payments were reduced from $4.6 million to $3.8 million. Since December 31, 2012, there have been no other 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 pages 23 and 24 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $23.6 million during the first nine months of 2013. Capital expenditures are estimated to be an additional $15.4 million for the remainder of 2013. Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2013 are primarily for improvements at manufacturing locations, product development and improvements to information technology infrastructure. The principal sources of financing for these capital expenditures are expected to be internally generated funds, bank borrowings and the proceeds from the sale of the current Brazil facility of 42.5 million Brazilian reais ("R$") (approximately U.S.$19.5 million at a conversion rate of U.S.$1.00 to R$2.23, as of June 30, 2013), which includes $9.9 million received in the second quarter of 2013.

OUTLOOK

The global market for forklift trucks is expected to continue to grow moderately in the remainder of 2013 and in 2014 compared with the comparable prior year periods. This growth is expected to be driven primarily by increases in the Chinese market, along with steady growth in the Americas as a result of growth in Brazil and continuing recovery in North America demand, along with nominal growth in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa markets. The Latin America market weakened during the third quarter of 2013, and is expected to continue to weaken in the fourth quarter of 2013. However, recovery in the Latin America market is anticipated in 2014. European markets are expected to remain weak, mainly as a result of Western European macro-economic conditions. In the context of these market conditions and expected increases in market share, the Company anticipates an overall increase in unit shipments and parts volumes in the fourth quarter of 2013 and in 2014 compared with the comparable prior year periods. The majority of this increase is expected to come from the Americas, with smaller increases in the European and Asian unit shipments.

The Company anticipates material costs in the fourth quarter of 2013 to be comparable with the prior year period and expects full year 2014 to increase slightly compared with 2013, particularly during the second half of the year. Although commodity costs appear to have stabilized, these markets, particularly steel, remain volatile and sensitive to changes in the global economy. The Company will continue to monitor economic conditions, currency movements and the resulting effects on costs and pricing, and will take appropriate pricing actions, if necessary.

The Company expects operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 to be up slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. The expected improvement in gross profit, mainly resulting from increased unit volumes, unit prices and improved manufacturing efficiencies, is expected to be mostly offset by a shift in mix to lower-margin products and an increase in operating expenses, primarily as a result of increases in marketing and employee-related costs put in place over the course of 2012 and 2013 to support the Company's five strategic initiatives. Nevertheless, fourth-quarter 2013 net income is expected to decline compared with the 2012 fourth quarter due to the absence of the $10.7 million valuation allowance release taken in the fourth quarter of 2012 and an expected higher effective income tax rate. In addition, during the third quarter of 2013, the Company elected to prepay $20 million of its term loan financing. Also, the Company intends to use cash on hand at September 30, 2013 to pay off its term loan financing and enter into a new revolving credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2013, if such refinancing is available on terms favorable to the Company. If this occurs, the Company expects to incur a pretax charge of approximately $3 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 for the write-off of deferred financing fees related to the term loan.

Excluding the anticipated gain on the sale of the Brazil real estate and facility, the Company expects a moderate improvement in operating profit in 2014 compared with 2013. The favorable effect of expected increased unit and parts volumes resulting from the Company's strategic initiatives, modestly stronger overall markets, continued improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, product enhancements and quality improvements are all expected to contribute to this improvement. In addition, lower anticipated estimates for equity incentive compensation, which are driven by the market price of the Company's stock, are expected to contribute to the improved net income as the Company's stock price during 2014 is anticipated to be closer to the current market price. These favorable items are expected to be partially offset by the effects of a shift in mix to lower-margin products, a full year impact of marketing and employee costs associated with the strategic initiatives that were put in place gradually during 2013 and unfavorable foreign currency movements in Asia-Pacific. Despite this improvement in operating profit, the Company expects only a slight increase in net income in 2014 compared with 2013 as a result of a higher effective income tax rate. The higher effective income tax rates in both the fourth quarter of 2013 and in 2014 are primarily the effect of higher U.S. state, United Kingdom and Australian income taxes in the remainder of 2013 and future years as a result

of the 2012 and 2013 valuation allowance releases, combined with an anticipated shift in income from lower tax rate European operations to higher tax rate Americas operations.

Fourth quarter 2013 and full year 2014 operating profit results are expected to improve in the Americas segment, which includes the North America, Latin America and Brazil markets. The Europe segment, which includes the Middle East and Africa markets, is expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 over the prior year period, and increase slightly in 2014 compared with 2013. The anticipated weakness of Western European markets is expected to partially offset improvements in other markets and anticipated benefits of the current strength of the euro in the 2014 Europe segment results. Asia-Pacific results for the remainder of 2013 and in 2014 are also expected to be lower.

Cash flow before financing activities in 2013 is expected to be significant but decline compared with 2012. The Company anticipates an increase in capital expenditures in 2013 largely due to information technology enhancements in Brazil. Cash flow before financing activities for 2014 is expected to decrease from 2013 also, primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures for the construction of a new plant in Brazil. These capital expenditures will be mitigated by the final cash payment received when the sale of the current facility is final, which is expected to occur in mid-2014.

The Company remains focused on gaining market share over time, as well as on improving margins on new lift truck units, especially in its internal combustion engine business, through the execution of its five strategic initiatives: (1) understanding customer needs at the product and aftermarket levels in order to create and provide a full range of differentiated product and service solutions for specific industry applications, (2) offering the lowest cost of ownership by utilizing the Company's understanding of customers' major cost drivers and developing solutions that consistently lower cost of ownership and create a differentiated competitive position, (3) improving the Company's warehouse market position through enhancing dealer and customer support, adding products, increasing incentives, and implementing programs to increase focus on key customers, (4) enhancing independent distribution by implementing programs aimed at broadening account coverage of the market, expanding the Company's dual-brand ownership strategy, and ensuring dealer excellence in all areas of the world, and (5) expanding in Asian markets by offering products aimed at the needs of these markets, enhancing distribution excellence and focusing on strategic alliances with local partners in China, India and Japan.

To meet the specific application needs of its customers, the Company is focusing on developing utility, standard and premium products. To this end, the Company has development programs underway for its electric-rider, warehouse, internal combustion engine and big truck product lines. To support its warehouse growth initiative, the Company is in the process of launching significant changes to its Americas product line including its Reach Truck, 3-Wheel stand, Order Selector, End- and Center-Rider and Tow Tractor lift truck models. The changes are focused on improving ergonomics, productivity and lowering cost of operation. In addition, in early October 2013, the Company introduced a new Reach Truck, predominantly for the European warehouse market, to dealers at three simultaneous live European locations and virtually at other locations in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions. This product is expected to go into production in January 2014.

Beginning in 2014, the Company is instituting a new model year update program for annual improvements of key performance and capability features of each of its existing lift truck model platforms. This new program is expected to keep these platforms soundly positioned in the market over time. Improvements will be timed for different product lines throughout the year to ensure resource leveling and efficient program execution. New platforms are expected to be developed and launched based on longer-term segment or technological change needs.

In mid-2011, the Company introduced into certain Latin American markets a UTILEV®-branded 1 to 3.5 ton internal combustion engine (ICE) pneumatic tire lift truck model to meet the needs of lower-intensity users. This UTILEV®-branded utility lift truck was gradually introduced into global markets during 2012. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company expanded the UTILEV®-branded series of lift trucks by introducing a 1 to 3 ton ICE cushion tire truck in North America and a 3-wheel electric rider truck globally. The UTILEV®-branded series of lift trucks is expected to continue to gain market position in the remainder of 2013 and in 2014. The Company offers one model of the standard ICE lift truck for medium-duty applications in both pneumatic and cushion tires for both Hyster® and Yale®. The Company expects to launch additional trucks in the standard model series in future years.

All of these new products and upgraded products are expected to improve revenues and enhance operating margins, as well as help increase market share. In addition, stricter diesel emission regulations for new trucks began to go into effect in 2011 and will be fully in effect by 2015 in certain global markets. The Company has launched and expects to continue to launch lift truck series over this period that will meet these new emission requirements.

On December 7, 2012, the Company announced that the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives and market conditions for the Company's Class A common stock. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares but it is limited to a maximum number of shares not to exceed ten percent of all common stock outstanding. It may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and will be executed through open market purchases. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 103,619 shares of Class A common stock for $5.2 million under this program.
