Forward guidance

Hyster-Yale expects operating profit and net income in the first quarter of 2021, excluding the gain from the sale of the Company's OneH2 investment, to be moderately lower than the 2020 fourth quarter and lower than the 2020 first quarter.

Tailwinds

  • Markets are anticipated to continue to improve over pre-pandemic levels.
  • Strategic projects the Company continues to pursue at each of its businesses to generate sound long-term financial returns.
  • Focusing on advancing key strategic initiatives.
  • The launch of new range of the 2-to-3 ton counterbalanced trucks is expected to continue throughout 2021 and the early part of 2022.
  • Consolidated component volume sourced globally from reliable partners is expected to reduce long-term costs and improve quality as these new products are brought to market over time.

Headwinds

  • Further pandemic-related global supply chain constraints.
  • Component shortages, shipping container availability and higher freight costs.
  • Anticipated significant material cost inflation resulting from the increasing pace of the expected market recovery and the likelihood of the non-renewal of tariff exclusions.
  • Commodity costs will continue to increase as the year progresses.
  • The elimination of certain cost containment measures, including the reinstatement of incentive compensation plans in 2021 that were suspended in 2020.
