A majority of our contracts in the Defense segment are large in size and require significant personnel and production resources, and when our government customers allow such contracts to expire or significantly reduce their vehicle requirements under such contracts, we must make adjustments to personnel and production resources. Production on the domestic JLTV contract is expected to conclude early 2025.
A majority of our contracts in the Transport segment are large in size and require significant personnel and production resources, and when our government customers allow such contracts to expire or significantly reduce their vehicle requirements under such contracts, we must make adjustments to personnel and production resources. • Our business is susceptible to changes in the annual U.S. defense budget.
We purchase, directly and indirectly through component purchases, significant amounts of steel, aluminum and other commodities. Steel, aluminum and other commodity prices have historically been highly volatile.
Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and other inputs may adversely impact our results. We purchase, directly and indirectly through component purchases, significant amounts of steel, aluminum, copper and other commodities. Steel, aluminum, copper and other commodity prices have historically been highly volatile.
Changes in laws or regulations governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where we manufacture products or from where we import products or raw materials (either directly or through our suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
Changes in laws or regulations governing foreign trade, particularly in countries where we manufacture products or from which we import products or raw materials, either directly or through our suppliers, including materials subject to China’s export control requirements such as rare earth minerals, could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
For example, cumulative catch-up adjustments on contracts in the Defense segment negatively impacted operating income by $47 million in 2024. Furthermore, under the revenue recognition accounting rules, we can only include units in our estimates of overall contract profitability after we have received a firm delivery order for those units.
Furthermore, under the revenue recognition accounting rules, we can only include units in our estimates of overall contract profitability after we have received a firm delivery order for those units.
We cannot provide any assurance that our products will continue to compete effectively with the products of competitors or that we will be able to retain our customer base or improve or maintain our profit margins on sales to our customers. Our long-term license agreement with Caterpillar Inc. to produce Caterpillar branded telehandlers ended in the fourth quarter of 2024.
We cannot provide any assurance that our products will continue to compete effectively with the products of competitors or that we will be able to retain our customer base or improve or maintain our profit margins on sales to our customers. We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions.
Any of these events could increase the cost of our products, impact demand for our products, create disruptions to supply chains or impair our ability to effectively operate and compete in countries where we do business. 14 Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and other inputs may adversely impact our results.
Any of these events could increase the cost of our products, reduce demand for our products, create disruptions to supply chains or impair our ability to effectively operate and compete in countries where we do business. Our capacity expansion plans may take longer or cost more than we expect or may not achieve the benefits we anticipate.
Furthermore, price increases may not be accepted by our customers, resulting in them choosing to order from our competitors instead of us. Any significant decrease in orders could have an adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.
If we are not able to recover cost increases through price increases to our customers, then such increases would have an adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows. Furthermore, price increases may not be accepted by our customers and may result in them choosing to order from our competitors.
Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory or business climate could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows. 22 We may be required to make material expenditures or incur additional liabilities to comply with changes in environmental laws or climate change regulations or to meet the increasing societal expectations on companies to address climate change.
We may be required to make material expenditures or incur additional liabilities to comply with changes in environmental laws or climate change regulations or to meet the increasing societal expectations on companies to address climate change. Both our products and the operation of our manufacturing facilities are subject to statutory and regulatory requirements.
Geopolitical tensions and trade disputes can disrupt supply chains and increase the cost of our products, which could cause our products to be more expensive for customers.
Tariffs implemented by the U.S. during 2025 cost us approximately $35 million in 2025, and we estimate that will increase to approximately $200 million in 2026. Geopolitical tensions and trade wars can disrupt supply chains and increase the cost of our products, which could cause our products to be more expensive for customers.
This could in turn result in the delay or cancellation of key programs, which could have a negative effect on our cash flows and adversely affect our future results.
Furthermore, in years when the U.S. government fails to complete its budget process or to provide for a continuing resolution, a federal government shutdown may result. A government shutdown could result in the delay or cancellation of key programs, which could have a negative effect on our cash flows and adversely affect our future results.
A significant change to these regulatory requirements could substantially increase manufacturing costs, which could make our business results more variable. Climate change attributed to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, has led to significant legislative, regulatory, investment community and societal efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change attributed to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, has led to significant legislative, regulatory, investment community and societal efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. These considerations may lead to new international, national, regional and/or local legislation or regulatory responses.
We must make assumptions regarding expected increases in material costs, wages and employee benefits, engineering hours, productivity and availability of labor and allocated fixed costs. Changes to production costs, overhead rates, learning curves and/or supplier performance can also impact these estimates.
Due to the size and nature of these contracts, the estimate of costs is complex and subject to many variables. We must make assumptions regarding expected increases in material costs, wages and employee benefits, engineering hours, productivity and availability of labor and allocated fixed costs.
This accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating revenues and costs and making assumptions regarding the timing of receipt of delivery orders from our government customers and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of these contracts, the estimate of costs is complicated and subject to many variables.
We account for substantially all long-term contracts in the Transport segment utilizing the cost-to-cost method of percentage-of-completion accounting. This accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating revenues and costs and making assumptions regarding the timing of receipt of delivery orders from our government customers.
Both our products and the operation of our manufacturing facilities are subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. These include environmental requirements applicable to manufacturing and vehicle emissions, government contracting regulations, regulations impacting our supply chain and domestic and international trade regulations.
These include environmental requirements applicable to manufacturing and vehicle emissions, government contracting regulations, regulations impacting our supply chain and domestic and international trade regulations. A significant change to these regulatory requirements could substantially increase manufacturing costs, which could make our business results more variable.
Competition and Strategy Risks We face significant competition in the markets we serve. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers that produce and sell similar products.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers that produce and sell similar products. Certain of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and governmental affairs resources than we do, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage.
If competition in our industry intensifies or if our current competitors lower their prices for competing products, we may lose sales or be required to lower the prices we charge for our products.
We also face pricing pressure from international competitors that attempt to gain domestic market share through importing and selling products at below market prices, particularly in the Access segment. If competition in our industries intensifies or if competitors lower their prices for competing products, we may lose sales or be required to lower the prices we charge for our products.
The USPS contract and our performance under the contract are subject to the following risks, among others, that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows: • The USPS ordering fewer units than we expect which could result in an impairment of our deferred contract asset. • It may take longer or cost more than we anticipate to scale our production to full rate production, which may result from additional costs, product design changes, supplier product quality issues or delays in receiving products from suppliers, costs and other challenges associated with recruiting and training a new workforce or other challenges associated with scaling production. • Our supply base may not be able to supply parts in a timely manner. • Warranty costs may be higher than we anticipate. • If additional orders are received, the mix of internal combustion engine and battery electric vehicles could be different from our expectations, which could reduce revenues that we expect under the contract and negatively affect anticipated margins. • The USPS may exercise its right to terminate the contract for convenience.
It is possible that production may continue to lag our expectations due to equipment design issues, supplier quality issues, supplier performance issues or other challenges associated with scaling production. • Throughout the product lifecycle, discontinuation of production parts by suppliers may result in unanticipated design costs. • Warranty costs may be higher than we anticipate. • If additional orders are received, the mix of internal combustion engine and battery electric vehicles could be different from our expectations. • The USPS may exercise its right to terminate the contract for convenience. 13 Changes in trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our results.
Local government policy and influence can also impact international competition, such as in China where a state-controlled economy favors local market participants. Financial Risks We are subject to changes in contract estimates. We account for substantially all long-term contracts in the Defense segment utilizing the cost-to-cost method of percentage-of-completion accounting.
Local government policy and influence can also impact international competition, such as in China where a state-controlled economy favors local market participants. Our use of artificial intelligence and autonomy technologies may expose us to additional risks and may not deliver the benefits we anticipate.
Caterpillar-branded telehandlers accounted for $315 million in sales in 2024. If we are unable to replace the Caterpillar-branded revenue through sales of our other telehandlers, including our new agricultural telehandlers, then the expiration of the Caterpillar license could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory or business climate could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

As of December 31, 2024, we have recorded an asset for deferred contract costs of $842.6 million that primarily relates to the NGDV program. Contract costs are amortized over the anticipated production volume of the related contract.
Added
The USPS contract and our performance under the contract are subject to the following risks, among others, that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows: • The USPS ordering fewer units than we expect which could result in an impairment of our deferred contract asset.
Removed
Changes in trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our results. In 2024, we directly imported from Mexico, China and Canada approximately $600 million, $175 million and $100 million, respectively.
Added
We estimate that deferred contract costs exceed future profits on existing orders by approximately $135 million at December 31, 2025. • The ramp-up of NGDV production has taken longer and cost more than we anticipated, which has resulted in lower revenues and higher costs than we anticipated.
Removed
For example, in June 2024, the European Commission imposed a tariff that applies to imports of certain access equipment into European Union countries from China, which resulted in additional costs and could result in lower sales and/or profitability of the Access segment in the European Union.
Added
The United States has announced changes to U.S. trade policies, including increasing tariffs on imports and potentially renegotiating or terminating existing trade agreements.
Removed
Increases in parts, materials, components or final assemblies costs negatively impact the profitability of orders in backlog as prices on those orders are generally less flexible. If we are not able to recover cost increases through price increases to our customers, then such increases will have an adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.
Added
The exact scope and duration of any such tariffs that have been or will ultimately be implemented, or retaliatory tariffs that have been or could be implemented by other countries on U.S. exports, is not known, and the impacts on our business are uncertain.
Removed
As an example, in February 2023, the DoD awarded the Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) Family of Vehicles follow on contract to another company based on, at least in part, a lower price. • We may not receive the contracts that we expect.
Added
We are pursuing initiatives to expand and optimize our manufacturing capacity. Such initiatives may include facility expansions or reconfigurations, capital investments in equipment and automation, workforce hiring and training, supplier capacity development and the implementation of new processes or systems.
Removed
While we anticipate our contract for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) program will be extended and that the extension would include higher pricing to reflect current material costs and more robust economic price adjustment clauses to protect us if we experience rapid inflation in the future, there is no assurance that the contract will be extended or that any extension will include an economic price adjustment clause sufficient to protect us from inflation in the future.
Added
The execution of these capacity expansion plans is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including delays in construction or equipment delivery, challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled labor, supply chain constraints, cost inflation, permitting or regulatory requirements and difficulties integrating new capacity into existing operations.
Removed
In addition, although we believe there is demand from international customers for our tactical wheeled vehicles, there is no assurance that additional orders will materialize. • Competitions for U.S. government contracts are intense, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in current or future procurement competitions in which we participate, as evidenced by the award of the JLTV follow on contract to another company.
Added
In addition, our assumptions regarding demand levels, timing and product mix may change over time, which could affect the timing, scale or economic returns of these investments.
Removed
We may incur costs in connection with the completion and wind down of that program.
