Current report
In May 2025, Bolzoni acquired 100% of the equity interest of a manufacturing business in Italy for an aggregate purchase price of $2.6 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the agreement may require additional consideration to be paid by Bolzoni based upon the acquired business achieving certain revenue and profitability metrics in future years. The results of operations of this acquired business have been included in the Bolzoni segment since the date of acquisition and are not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not yet finalized its analysis of the fair value of the acquired business, thus the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and may change in future periods as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are refined during the measurement period. The Company will complete the purchase price allocation no later than one year after the date of acquisition.
Current report
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 (“CODM”) 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 Segmentsto 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.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared with Second Quarter of 2024
Current report
The Company recognized an operating loss of $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with an operating profit of $95.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit, mainly from lower volume, lower overhead absorption rates tied to lower production volume, higher material and freight costs, including tariffs, and unfavorable pricing. Additionally, the Company recognized $15.7 million in restructuring and impairment charges in connection with the strategic realignment of Nuvera and programs initiated in 2024 to streamline the Company's manufacturing footprint and optimize its operations. See Note 15, Restructuring and Impairment Charges, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The decreases were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to decreased incentive compensation costs.
Current report
Operating profit in the Americas decreased to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared with $92.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower gross profit primarily from lower volume, lower overhead absorption rates tied to lower production volume and an increase in material and freight costs, including tariffs. In addition, $15.9 million in restructuring and impairment charges were recognized in the Americas during the second quarter of 2025. The decreases were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to decreased incentive compensation costs.
Current report
First Six Months of 2025 Compared with First Six Months of 2024
Current report
Revenues decreased 16.1% to $1,867.0 million in the first six months of 2025 from $2,224.6 million in the first six months of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in unit volume, mainly in the Americas and EMEA. The Company believes reduced volumes were a result of the impact of continued economic uncertainty on the Company's end-customer order patterns and overall weaker industry booking rates experienced since early 2024. The decrease was partially offset by higher other revenues, including improved fleet services revenue.
Current report
Bolzoni revenues decreased in the first six months of 2025 compared with the first six months of 2024, primarily due to lower unit volume.
Current report
The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit for the first six months of 2025 compared with the first six months of 2024:
Current report
The Company's operating profit decreased from $179.4 million in the first six months of 2024 to $12.8 million in the first six months of 2025. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit, mainly from lower volume and higher material and freight costs, including tariffs, as well as lower overhead absorption rates tied to lower production volume. Additionally, the company recognized $15.9 million in restructuring and impairment charges in connection with the strategic realignment of Nuvera and programs initiated in 2024 to streamline the Company's manufacturing footprint and optimize its operations. See Note 15, Restructuring and Impairment Charges, to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Current report
EMEA had an operating loss of $29.9 million in the first six months of 2025 compared with an operating profit of $10.0 million the first six months of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to lower gross profit from lower unit volume, lower pricing and a shift in sales to lower-margin products. Higher material and freight costs as well as lower overhead absorption rates tied to lower production volume also contributed to the decline in operating profit (loss). Selling general and administrative expenses were higher as a result of increased marketing and sales costs.
Current report
JAPIC's operating loss increased to $14.9 million in the first six months of 2025 from $11.2 million in the first six months of 2024, primarily due to lower gross profit from unfavorable foreign currency, higher material and freight costs and lower unit volume, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Current report
Bolzoni's operating profit decreased to $3.0 million in the first six months of 2025 compared with $7.3 million in the first six months of 2024, primarily due to lower unit volumes as well as lower overhead absorption rates tied to lower production volume.
Current report
On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement for a $300.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). 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 matures on June 24, 2030. The Facility replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility, which was set to mature on June 24, 2026. 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.
Current report
The Company’s full-year 2025 outlook includes numerous assumptions, including potential tariff impacts and actions to mitigate their effect on its financial results. The Company’s proactive initiatives, including price increases and lower costs from changes to global product sourcing, supply chain adjustments, and cost optimization programs, are expected to partially offset higher, tariff-related costs. Key outlook assumptions include:
Current report
Given these assumptions, tariffs are expected to negatively affect the Company's financial results in the second half of 2025, even after mitigation actions are implemented. The Company is pursuing strategies to reduce this impact. The possibility of further tariff measures creates uncertainty and makes it difficult to provide a precise impact estimate at this time. The Company will continue to maintain pricing strategies aligned with material cost changes and enforce cost discipline across the organization, regardless of tariff developments.
Current report
During Q2 2025, the total lift truck market declined. As result, the Company experienced a significant contraction of its global lift truck bookings, reflecting a more cautious customer approach amid ongoing economic uncertainty. The Company's traditional strong customers are deferring capital expenditures, resulting in delayed purchasing decisions and a temporary softening in lift truck order activity. However, the Company’s sales quoting activity remained steady in Q2 compared to improved Q1 2025 levels.
Current report
This sustained higher quoting volume highlights resilient underlying demand opportunity and positions the Company to capitalize on market opportunities as customer confidence strengthens and capital spending accelerates. Management remains focused on proactive customer engagement, closely monitoring demand trends, and preserving the Company’s agility to respond quickly to ensure that the Company is well prepared to increase bookings as macroeconomic and tariff uncertainty conditions improve.
Current report
Dollar value bookings decreased to $330 million from $590 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a significant decline in both the EMEA and Americas regions, while JAPIC remained flat. The elevated Q1 bookings were partially driven by customers accelerating their purchases ahead of anticipated tariff-related price increases. In contrast, Q2 2025 bookings were negatively impacted by heightened tariff-related uncertainty. Compared to Q2 2024, dollar value bookings decreased by $50 million, with Americas increasing and a substantial decline in EMEA. These results highlight regional demand volatility, with particular weakness in EMEA. The Company monitors booking trends closely and remains dedicated to strategic initiatives to bolster its orders while maintaining cost discipline.
Current report
At the end of Q2 2025, the Company’s backlog stood at $1.7 billion, decreasing from $1.9 billion at Q1 2025 as shipments exceeded bookings, primarily in the Americas. The Company’s ability to maintain a solid backlog is being challenged by the prolonged bookings demand weakness. As a result, the Company continues to balance production levels with evolving product demand in order to maintain a multi-month production backlog.
Current report
Production output is currently expected to increase in the second half of 2025 compared to the first half of the year. However, in response to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff pressures, the Company has moderated these production growth expectations. This adjustment will help to maintain manufacturing efficiency as well as optimize inventory levels. If the bookings market or the Company’s traditional customer base bookings improvements do not materialize as expected, global production levels will likely moderate further in the latter half of 2025.
Current report
In Q2 2025, the Company implemented monthly price adjustments to quickly address tariff changes. These pricing actions enable more effective margin management during this period of heightened volatility. Price adjustments will persist, as necessary, to minimize the impact of tariffs on the Company’s cost structure. Price adjustments apply to new orders at the time they are booked, resulting in a temporary delay before the Company can recover the increased costs associated with tariffs.
Current report
Operating expenses are projected to decline modestly in 2025 year-over-year, primarily due to cost savings from Nuvera’s strategic realignment. Results from this action are expected to generate annualized cost reductions of $15 to $20 million beginning in the second half of 2025. Additionally, the Company anticipates that $10 to $15 million of Nuvera’s costs will be integrated into the Lift Truck business, mainly to fill open positions and accelerate development of both lithium-ion batteries and related services and mobile charging products. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional charges related to the Nuvera strategic alignment progresses.
Current report
Operating profit is projected to moderately increase in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025, driven primarily by higher sales volumes as a result of added consumer demand and enhanced manufacturing efficiency.
Current report
The Company anticipates a decline in full-year 2025 operating profit relative to prior guidance. This outlook reflects the near-term effects of reduced bookings and lower production volumes. Potential tariff costs and timing lags in mitigating actions may also create an earnings drag. However, management believes tax reform impacts could be favorable which will help to offset some of these adverse changes.
Current report
While the path forward likely presents demand and production volatility challenges, management is confident that its disciplined cost control actions and capital allocation efforts will position the Company to capitalize on growth opportunities as market conditions improve.

Previous report
As of March 31, 2025, the Company operated Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on the design, manufacture and sale of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and engines. In April 2025, the Company announced a strategic business realignment of Nuvera's operations. See Note 15, Subsequent Events, of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

First Quarter of 2025 Compared with First Quarter of 2024
Previous report
The Company recognized operating profit of $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared with $83.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in Lift Truck operating profit was primarily due to lower gross profit, mainly from lower volume and higher material and freight costs, as well as lower overhead absorption rates. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses were higher, primarily related to increased marketing, product development and information technology costs.
Previous report
The operating loss at Nuvera increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the first quarter of 2024, mainly due to lower product development funding from third-parties. This was partially offset by savings realized through head count reduction initiatives implemented in 2024.
Previous report
The Company has a $300.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that expires in June 2026 and a $225.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which matures in May 2028.
Previous report
On April 30, 2025, the Company announced a strategic realignment of its Nuvera fuel cell business designed both to increase near term profits and to create an integrated energy solutions program at its Billerica, Massachusetts facility, which will be part of the Lift Truck business. The energy solutions program will include:
Previous report
•Development, manufacturing, and commercialization of its lithium-ion battery modules, battery chargers, battery management systems, and energy management services. These activities are critical to the Lift Truck's success as the business expects next generation batteries to be broadly used in electric forklift trucks.
Previous report
•Development, manufacturing and commercialization of a mobile, modular and scalable hybrid electric charging platform to provide off-grid power solutions. This platform will be configured to use the Lift Truck’s battery solutions as well as a variant called HydroCharge TM that incorporates Nuvera's patented fuel cell technology.
Previous report
•A significantly downsized and more limited fuel cell development program focused on the final development and testing of a higher powered 125KW fuel cell for use in the Lift Truck’s port equipment and larger HydroCharge TM applications. This more modest fuel cell program reflects the Company’s conclusion that its current fuel cell business will not reach its profitability objectives in an acceptable period. The underlying analysis is based on recent fuel cells uptake rates as an energy solution, and on a significantly changed political environment in the U.S. and globally.
Previous report
This strategic realignment is expected to achieve direct annualized cost reductions of $15 to $20 million starting in the second half of 2025. The Company also expects an additional $10 to $15 million of Nuvera's costs to be absorbed by the Lift Truck business, largely to staff open positions, with the goal of accelerating development of batteries and related services and mobile charging products. As result of these actions, approximately $15 to $18 million of employee severance and impairment costs are expected in Q2 2025. Additional charges or expenditures are possible as the program progresses.
Previous report
This program takes advantage of Nuvera's technical skill base in each of the above initiatives. It lays the groundwork for:
Previous report
•more rapid maturity, growth and profitability of its battery and charger programs;
Previous report
•development, manufacturing and commercialization of its charging platforms for off grid power solutions; and
Previous report
•completion of its port equipment electric power solutions.
Previous report
The energy solutions program has significant technical and product synergies between fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, chargers and mobile charge equipment in areas such as controls, packaging, cooling and manufacturing.
Previous report
Battery program sales in 2025 are expected to accelerate from 2024 levels and continue growing in the following years. Initial HydroCharge TM product sales are expected to begin in the second half of 2025, while battery and fuel cell electric port equipment trucks are currently testing in customer applications. These three product activities are expected to meet Lift Truck’s end user and dealer electric product distribution needs while providing additional service revenue opportunities over time.
Previous report
This strategic realignment is part of the Company’s broader change program aimed at transforming the way the world moves materials from Port to Home. It focuses on transforming the Company’s core lift truck business while building new growth opportunities in the warehouse forklift truck market, automation, energy solutions, and attachment activities through its Lift Truck and Bolzoni businesses. The Company's ongoing programs to develop modular, scalable products, optimize its manufacturing footprint, streamline its supplier structure, and expand its customer base with optimized customer solutions are key to the transformation of the core forklift truck business. With the new growth opportunities, these programs are expected to lead to significant revenue increases and enhanced operating profitability across the forklift truck market cycle while lowering capital intensity and improving historical returns on total capital employed.
Previous report
The Company’s full-year 2025 outlook includes anticipated negative tariff impacts along with the Company’s proactive initiatives—including pricing programs, global product resourcing, supply chain adjustments, and cost optimization programs. This forecast has several key assumptions, including:
Previous report
no reinstatement of April 9, 2025 tariffs that were paused for 90 days;
Previous report
no significant demand decline stemming from a U.S. or global economic recession or tariffs; and
Previous report
The Company estimates that the global lift truck bookings market slightly improved in Q1 2025 compared to the prior year.
Previous report
The Lift Truck business experienced a substantial increase in Q1 2025 bookings, predominately in Americas and EMEA. Bookings of $590 million increased 48% sequentially and 13% year-over-year. This improvement was driven by heightened demand for higher-priced, Class 4 and 5 products including the Company's new modular, scalable lift trucks.
Previous report
These results highlight early signs of lift truck booking market recovery, especially in EMEA. The Lift Truck business remains well-positioned to capture additional market share across its product portfolio, reinforcing its long-term strategic goals. The market is expected to stabilize and improve across 2025, absent the potential effects from tariffs, which we believe caused order hesitation in April.
Previous report
The Lift Truck business began 2025 with a backlog of $1.9 billion, which remained stable in the first quarter. Full-year production forecasts project an increasing rate compared to Q1 levels, with full-year revenues projected to slightly exceed annualized first quarter levels. While maintaining a consistent backlog, the Lift Truck business continues to balance production levels with demand for its products. Production rates are anticipated to increase in Q2 2025, followed by continued lift truck market booking growth in the second half of 2025. This is expected to position the Lift Truck business for accelerated growth in 2026. However, if the bookings market or Lift Truck's expected market share improvements fail to meet expectations, its global production levels will likely moderate in the latter half of 2025.
Previous report
Operating expense is expected to increase year-over-year in 2025 to support strategic long-term profitable growth initiatives. The Lift Truck business plans to expand its sales capacity and capabilities while upgrading its core information technology systems. A portion of these increased expenses are likely to be offset by leveraging lower-cost shared service capabilities and implementing more efficient processes and tools.
Previous report
Operating profit is expected to moderately decline in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, despite anticipated production increases driven by strong bookings in Q1 2025. Second quarter profitability will be adversely affected by the impact of tariffs and a temporary lag in the implementation of price increases.
Previous report
As a result of the above factors and consistent with our prior view, 2025 operating profit is expected to be below 2024’s exceptionally strong results.

Previous wording
The Lift Truck business continues to focus on maintaining bookings with product margins at or above targeted levels through a combination of new product introductions, including modular and scalable models, and ongoing cost and pricing discipline in existing products. Product margins are expected to decline in 2025 compared to the prior year due to increased competitive market dynamics but remain above target levels. Price increases were implemented during Q1 2025 to counter inflationary costs as well as initial tariffs implemented before March 31, 2025. Lift Truck’s prices are expected to be adjusted quickly to limit the tariff impact on its cost structure. Despite these challenging conditions, market share growth opportunities are expected to further strengthen Lift Truck’s competitive positioning across its product portfolio.
Current wording
The Company continues to focus on maintaining bookings with product margins at or above targeted levels through a combination of new product introductions, including increasingly available modular and scalable models, and ongoing cost and pricing discipline for existing products. Product margins are expected to remain above targeted levels in 2025 but decline year-over-year due to increased competitive pressure in a lower-demand market.
Previous wording
Projects initiated in 2024 to streamline Lift Truck's manufacturing footprint and optimize its operations are progressing as planned. As part of the project implementation, Lift Truck anticipates incurring additional costs estimated between $8 million to $16 million in both 2025 and 2026. Initial benefits from these programs are expected in late 2025 but are expected to be offset by operational inefficiencies related to lower 2025 full-year production relative to 2024. In 2026, benefits are projected to remain modest as the programs are fully integrated. Starting in 2027, these fully developed programs should generate significant income and cash benefits ranging between $30 million to $40 million annually. These savings will significantly reduce the business’ negative impact from market cyclicality for the businesses. Savings estimates are based on current expected volume and cost assumptions.
Current wording
Projects initiated in 2024 to streamline the Company's manufacturing footprint and optimize its operations are progressing with $1.4 million in the first six months of 2025. The Company now expects to incur an additional $4 million to $7 million through 2025, and between $10 million to $23 million in 2026. Total project expenditure estimates are in line with prior guidance, with some expected costs shifting from 2025 to 2026. Initial benefits from these programs are expected in late 2025 and into 2026 but will likely be offset by operational inefficiencies from lower production volumes compared to the prior year. Starting in 2027, these fully developed programs should generate significant annualized income and cash benefits ranging between $30 million to $40 million. These savings will significantly offset the business’ negative impact from future market cyclicality. Savings estimates are based on current expected volume and cost assumptions.
Previous wording
Bolzoni's second-quarter revenues are projected to modestly improve compared to the first quarter. Improved attachment sales are expected to offset reduced legacy component sales to the Lift Truck business. Second quarter operating profit is anticipated to moderately increase due to a favorable product mix.
Current wording
Bolzoni's Q3 2025 revenues are projected to slightly improve compared to the second quarter as higher attachment sales are expected to offset reduced legacy component sales to the Lift Truck business. Q3 2025 operating profit is anticipated to increase moderately due to reduced manufacturing spending related to improved factory utilization.
Previous wording
Full year 2025 revenues are expected to decline year-over-year, reflecting weaker demand projections across its customer base. While improved product mix and ongoing cost discipline expected to provide some benefit, it is not expected to fully offset the revenue decline. As result, Bolzoni's full-year 2025 operating profit is anticipated to fall below 2024's adjusted operating profit.
Current wording
Full year 2025 revenues are anticipated to decline year-over-year, reflecting weaker demand projections across Bolzoni’s customer base. Product mix and cost control improvements are not expected to fully compensate for lower sales. As a result, 2025 operating profit is projected to be below 2024’s adjusted operating profit.
Previous wording
Consistent with our prior outlook, the Company's full year 2025 revenues, production levels and profits are expected to be below robust 2024 results. Looking ahead, the Company anticipates modest sequential revenue growth in Q2 2025. However, consolidated operating profit for Q2 2025 is expected to decline moderately compared to Q1 2025, largely due to the timing of tariff-related cost increases and the actions taken to mitigate their impact. Current global trade policies and geopolitical uncertainty, among other factors, may cause the Company’s results to deviate from its current outlook.
Current wording
The Company anticipates modest sequential growth in both revenue and operating profit growth in Q3 2025. For the full year 2025, the Company still expects revenues, production levels and profits to be below robust 2024 results. However, outlook has deteriorated due to tariff impacts to material cost and a greater than expected decline in demand in the second half of 2025. Global trade and geopolitical uncertainty, among other factors, may cause the Company’s results to deviate significantly from its current outlook.
Previous wording
The financial discipline established over the past several years has been designed to deliver stronger and more consistent financial results. The Company targets a 7% operating profit margin across the business cycle. During periods of strong backlog-driven production, such as those experienced in early 2024, the Company should exceed this target. However, during cyclically lower lift truck market demand phases, the Company expects to remain profitable, likely generating operating profit margins below the 7% target. Profit stability across periods of revenue cyclicality improves the Company’s financial resiliency and marks a significant improvement from prior performance.
Current wording
The financial discipline established over the past several years is helping the Company deliver stronger and more consistent financial results. The Company targets a 7% operating profit margin across the business cycle. During periods of strong backlog-driven production, such as those experienced in early 2024, the Company should exceed this target. However, during cyclically lower lift truck market demand phases, the Company intends to offset production declines by maintaining strong financial and operational discipline, with stronger results than in previous downturns. The Company is making progress toward achieving these goals and its strategic initiatives should add further benefits over time.
Previous wording
The Company continues to focus on generating strong operating cash flow and accretive capital deployment. To support these goals, the Company is actively implementing initiatives to drive working capital efficiency. With the expected 2025 lift truck production decrease, there is an intense focus on realigning production and working capital processes. Key actions, including targeted inventory reductions, are underway and are expected to yield significant progress in 2025. These efforts support strong full-year cash flow from operations projections, moderately below those achieved in 2024, despite the projected lower 2025 net income.

These efforts support strong full-year cash flow from operations generation, moderately below those achieved in 2024, despite the projected lower 2025 net income.
Previous wording
The effective utilization of these strong cash flows is critical to the Company’s ongoing transformation. This involves substantial capital investments in advanced products, manufacturing efficiencies and information technology upgrades. For 2025, capital expenditures are now forecasted to range between $40 million and $65 million. The top end of the range is below initial expectations, reflecting spending discipline and project prioritization as a result of increased global economic uncertainty. Management will closely monitor market conditions and may adjust investments levels and timing as market visibility improves.
