Our most recent evaluation resulted in our conclusion that, as of March 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. We believe that we currently have adequate internal control procedures in place for future periods, including
processes related to newly acquired businesses. However, if our internal control over financial reporting is found to be ineffective, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which may adversely affect our results of operations or stock price.

For example, the IRA expanded and extended the tax credits and other tax benefits available to energy systems projects and the battery supply chain. We believe this law will bolster and extend future demand for our products in the United States. However,
we note that implementing regulations for this law are still in process, which creates uncertainty about the extent of its impact on us and our industry. For more information, see “The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") contains production tax credits for certain battery cells and battery modul…

The war in Ukraine continues to have widespread economic repercussions, particularly in Europe. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict is disrupting stability in the Middle East, raising significant concerns about the potential for further escalation across the region.
Inflation in North America, China and EMEA, while more controlled compared to the sharp increases in 2023, remains a challenge despite some cooling in the U.S. and Europe through 2024 and 2025. After reducing rates three consecutive times in 2025, the Fed held the policy rate steady at 3.50%–3.75% i…
The supply chain is generally stable, however, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has periodically disrupted some shipments in the Red Sea. As a result, some ocean freight costs and transit times may temporarily increase until shipping in the region returns to normal. Generally, our mitigation effort…
The market demand in the forklift truck and Class 8 truck markets have been impacted by tariff policy uncertainty, causing some customers to pause larger projects and general spending activity until there is more clarity on global tariff impacts to their supply chains.

Commodity prices fluctuated in fiscal 2025 versus fiscal 2024 and it is difficult to predict with certainty whether commodity prices will be higher or lower in future years.

Market risk (Item 7A)
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-K · 2026-05-20
Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the
related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange cont…
At March 31, 2026 and 2025, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $69.2 million and $75.5 million, respectively.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
