Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in Millions, Except Per Share Data)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the accounts of Hyster-Yale's wholly owned domestic and international subsidiaries and majority-owned joint ventures (collectively, "Hyster-Yale" or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. ("HYMH" or the "lift truck business") and Bolzoni S.p.A. ("Bolzoni Group" or "Bolzoni").
Through HYMH, the Company designs, engineers, manufactures, sells and services a comprehensive line of lift trucks, attachments, parts, fleet management services, technology and energy solutions marketed globally, primarily under the Hyster®, Yale® and Nuvera® brand names, mainly to independent Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured and assembled in the United States ("U.S."), Northern Ireland, China, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Japan, Italy and Vietnam.
The Company owns a 90% majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal Forklift (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. ("Hyster-Yale Maximal"), a manufacturer of low-intensity and standard lift trucks and specialized material handling equipment. Hyster-Yale Maximal also designs and produces specialized products in the port equipment and rough terrain forklift markets.

Note 3—Revenue
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the trucks, parts or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise to the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 10, Product Warranties, for further information on product warranties.
The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided.
The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained.
For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported in “Cost of sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| Lift truck business | ||||||
| Americas | EMEA | JAPIC | Bolzoni | Eliminations | Total | |
| Dealer sales | $920.0 | $321.7 | $122.3 | $— | $— | $1,364.0 |

| Total Revenues | $2,139.1 | $416.6 | $142.2 | $257.9 | $(109.7) | $2,846.1 |
Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealers. The majority of direct customer sales are to major customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Service and parts sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Bolzoni revenue from external customers is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. In the U.S., Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of forklift components to HYMH plants. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price and the amount of consideration received and revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated.
Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer. Amounts below include both current and long-term portions of deferred revenue.
| Deferred Revenue | |
|---|---|
| Balance, December 31, 2025 | $65.6 |
| Customer deposits and billings | 46.8 |
| Revenue recognized | (40.7) |
| Foreign currency effect | (0.2) |
| Balance, September 30, 2026 | $71.5 |
Note 4—Business Segments
The Company defines reportable and operating segments on the same basis used to evaluate performance internally by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), which the Company has determined is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company uses operating profit (loss) to evaluate segment profitability. The CODM uses operating profit (loss) to allocate resources predominantly in the annual forecasting process and as the measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when assessing segment performance and making decisions about allocating resources to the segments. The Company hasfour segments, which include three in the lift truck business, as well as Bolzoni.
Operating segments within the lift truck business include the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC, collectively the "lift truck business." Americas includes lift truck operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and the corporate headquarters. EMEA includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes operations in the Asia and Pacific regions, including China. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic operating segments and are included in the reportable segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarters' expenses and information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic operating segments are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic operating segments based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic operating segments of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each operating segment for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business. The Company reports the results of Bolzoni as a separate segment. Intercompany sales between Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated.
Financial information for each reportable segment is presented in the following table:

Note 5—Income Taxes
The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is generally based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter's year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company's annual earnings or losses, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings or losses will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company's ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, carrybacks, capital loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or the tax effect of other unusual or nonrecurring transactions or adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Additionally, the Company's interim effective income tax rate is computed and applied without regard to pre-tax losses where such losses are not expected to generate a current-year tax benefit.
The following table summarizes income tax expense as follows:
| THREE MONTHS ENDED · NINE MONTHS ENDED | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEPTEMBER 30 | SEPTEMBER 30 | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Loss before income taxes | $(13.7) | $(4.6) | $(69.0) | $(1.0) |
| Income tax expense (benefit) | $0.6 | $(2.9) | $6.9 | $5.4 |
During the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, the Company's reported income tax expense differed from the amount that would result from applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, primarily due to an interim adjustment for pre-tax losses for which no income tax benefit was recognized as a result of its valuation allowance positions.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $2.3 million related to the favorable domestic provision-to-return items, primarily driven by increases to the research and development tax credit and foreign tax credit. This benefit was partially offset by $0.6 million of other discrete tax charges, resulting in a net discrete tax benefit of $1.7 million for the quarter.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized a discrete tax charge of $3.4 million related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance against the beginning-of-the-year balance of Brazilian deferred tax assets. Based on a review of recent operating results, cumulative losses, and a declining forecast, management concluded that the evidence no longer supported a more-likely-than-not standard that these deferred tax assets will be realized.

Note 7—Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account company credit risk. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2026, the carrying value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $465.7 million and $451.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the carrying value and fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding finance leases, was $473.4 million and $469.1 million, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales.
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. These derivatives are used to reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk related to forecasted purchase or sales transactions or forecasted intercompany cash payments or settlements. Gains and losses on these derivatives are generally recognized in cost of sales.
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce risks related to floating rate financing agreements that are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The Company's interest rate swap agreements and the associated variable rate financings are predominately based upon the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from
OCI to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in interest expense.
Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows with the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations.
The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates yield curves and foreign currency spot rates to value its derivatives and also incorporates the effect of the Company's and its counterparties' credit risk into the valuation.
The Company does not currently hold any nonderivative instruments designated as hedges or any derivatives designated as fair value hedges.
Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, British pounds, Swedish kroner, Australian dollars and Mexican pesos. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $4.7 million and a net asset of $1.8 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no material ineffectiveness of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at September 30, 2026, $0.1 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at September 30, 2026 is expected to be reclassified as income into the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.
Interest Rate Derivatives: The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates, excluding spreads, and remaining terms of interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Notional Amount · Average Fixed Rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEPTEMBER 30, · DECEMBER 31 · SEPTEMBER 30, · DECEMBER 31 | ||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | Term at September 30, 2026 |
| $180.0 | $180.0 | 1.65% | 1.65% | Extending to May 2027 |
| $32.6 | $20.7 | 2.49% | 2.20% | Extending to April 2031 |
The fair value of all interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $3.7 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at September 30, 2026, $3.6 million of the amount included in OCI as net deferred gain is expected to be reclassified as income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve months, as cash flow payments are made in accordance with the interest rate swap agreements.

Note 8—Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company's policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of government and corporate bonds and publicly traded stocks.
Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company's U.S. and United Kingdom ("U.K.") plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under a defined benefit pension plan. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans. During 2024, the Company and the trustee initiated a de-risking strategy for the U.K. plan, which resulted in changes to the target asset allocation to fixed income and highly-liquid securities. During 2025, the trustee entered into a buy-in contract for the U.K. plan with a third-party insurance company. The trustee may choose to convert the buy-in policy to a buy-out contract by assigning individual insurance contracts to members. This process may extend for a significant period of time. Until any potential buy-out process is completed, the trustee remains responsible for the administration of the U.K. plan, allocation of non-insured plan assets and payment of employee retirement benefits. If a buy-out of the U.K. plan is completed in the future and the criteria for settlement accounting is satisfied, any amounts relating to the U.K. plan remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings.
The Company presents the components of net periodic pension expense (benefit), other than service cost, in other (income) expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for its pension plans. Service cost for the Company's pension plan is reported in operating profit. The components of pension expense (benefit) are set forth below:
| THREE MONTHS ENDED · NINE MONTHS ENDED | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEPTEMBER 30, | ||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |

| Net periodic pension expense | $0.5 | $0.5 | $1.5 | $1.6 |
Note 9—Inventories
Inventories are summarized as follows:
| SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 | DECEMBER 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Finished goods and service parts | $382.8 | $358.8 |
| Work in process | 32.9 | 31.1 |
| Raw materials | 381.2 | 375.0 |
| Total manufactured inventories | 796.9 | 764.9 |
| LIFO reserve | (132.1) | (130.6) |
| Total inventory | $664.8 | $634.3 |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory or lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025,49% and 50%, respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method, which consists primarily of manufactured inventories, including service parts, for the lift truck business in the United States. The FIFO method is used with respect to all other inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at the end of the year, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
Note 10—Product Warranties
The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally fortwelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 operating hours. For certain series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty ofone to two years or 2,000 or 4,000 operating hours. For certain components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty oftwo to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 operating hours. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.
In addition, the Company sells separately priced, extended warranty agreements for its lift trucks, which generally provide a warranty for an additionaltwo to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 operating hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.
The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements as part of its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims and the cost of those claims based on historical and anticipated costs.
The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.
Changes in the Company's current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts, are as follows:
| 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $73.6 |
| Current year warranty expense | 21.6 |
| Change in estimate related to pre-existing warranties | (0.9) |
| Payments made | (26.9) |
| Foreign currency effect | (0.4) |
| Balance at September 30, 2026 | $67.0 |
Note 11—Contingencies
Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") issued a ruling holding that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") are not legally authorized. The Court only ruled on IEEPA tariffs and did not invalidate any other tariffs. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued procedures for IEEPA-related refunds. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $15 million and $50 million, respectively, of tariff-related recoveries of amounts previously paid in 2025 and 2026 under IEEPA. The loss recovery is reported on the line “Cost of sales” and interest received on IEEPA-related refunds is recorded on the line "Other, net" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company continues to evaluate and pursue recovery of additional tariff amounts. Any remaining potential recoveries are subject to uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount and timing of collection. The Company expects to recognize any additional tariff recoveries when receipt becomes probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Note 12—Guarantees
Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range fromone tofive years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $138.4 million and $134.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at September 30, 2026 was approximately $235.0 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, 2026, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. ("WF") to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $28.6 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $14.7 million as of September 30, 2026. The $28.6 million is included in the $138.4 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2026.
Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At September 30, 2026, approximately $110.1 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $138.4 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At September 30, 2026, loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $1.4 billion. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $273.4 million, the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $110.1 million. Excluding the HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company, the Company’s incremental obligation as a result of this guarantee to WF is $254.1 million, which is secured by the Company's 20% share of HYGFS' customer receivables and other secured assets of $340.8 million. HYGFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past, and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would cause HYGFS to default in future periods.
Note 13—Equity and Debt Investments
The Company maintains an interest in one variable interest entity, HYGFS. HYGFS is a joint venture with WF formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and major customers in the U.S. and is included in the Americas segment. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of HYGFS. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and uses the equity method to account for its 20% interest in HYGFS. The Company does not consider its variable interest in HYGFS to be significant.
The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SN, a limited liability company which was formed with Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Sumitomo") primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. The Company purchases products from SN under agreed-upon terms. The Company's ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in the JAPIC segment.
The Company's percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in HYGFS and SN is reported on the line “Income from unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other (income) expense” section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's equity investments are included on the line “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:
| September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| HYGFS | $26.0 | $28.4 |

Note 14—Restructuring and Impairment Charges
The Company recognized $1.5 million and $4.8 million of other-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $1.0 million and $16.9 million of employee-severance and other-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Costs recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included charges associated with the strategic realignment of Nuvera and the Company's previously announced manufacturing footprint optimization initiatives, while costs recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 also relate to the previously announced manufacturing footprint optimization initiatives. These costs are included in "Restructuring and impairment charges" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company expects to execute the previously announced manufacturing footprint optimization initiatives through 2026 and 2027 and expects to incur an additional $2 million to $5 million in costs through the end of 2026, and between $8 million to $10 million in costs in 2027.
Following is the detail of the cash payments made under the Company's restructuring programs(a) related to severance:
| Severance | |
|---|---|
| Beginning of period accrual at January 1, 2026 | $27.6 |
| Payments | (14.4) |
| Ending of period accrual at September 30, 2026 | $13.2 |
a)Consists of previously announced restructuring programs initiated in 2025 and 2024 as part of the Company's global workforce reduction and manufacturing footprint optimization.
In the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company launched a major set of projects to better align the Company with evolving market and regulatory requirements. The Company is targeting at least $100 million of an annual cost savings expected at maturity in 2029 with implementation costs estimated to be at least $50 million over the duration of the programs, including severance, impairment charges, contract termination and other exit-related costs.
