REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Committee of Plan Fiduciaries

Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C. 401(k) Plan

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information

The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) and schedule of delinquent participant contributions (collectively, the supplemental information) have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2020 and 2019

Note 1 - Description of Plan

The following is a brief description of Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as in effect during 2020. Participants should refer to the Plan document and Summary Plan Description for a more complete discussion of the provisions of the Plan.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established on January 1, 1988 and most recently restated effective January 1, 2019. All employees (other than leased employees of Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C. (the “Company”) and its controlled group members who have adopted the plan) are eligible for participation in the Plan. Employees become participants on the first day of each calendar quarter following the employment commencement date. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. Effective January 1, 1998, employees of the Company’s subsidiary, Fisher, LLC, became eligible to participate.

A new Plan document was issued with an effective date of January 1, 2019 that converted the Plan to a safe harbor plan. Under the new safe harbor plan, the Company has an employer matching percentage of 100% of contributions up to 3% of compensation, plus 50% of contributions over 3% of compensation up to 6% of compensation. The Company also amended the Plan as of January 1, 2019 changing the financial hardship withdrawals in accordance with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.

Contributions

Contributions to the Plan are made by the participants in the Plan and by the Company and are subject to the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

New employees that meet the requirements to participate in the Plan are automatically enrolled with a default 3 percent deferral rate, increasing each year until the participant reaches a 6 percent deferral rate, unless otherwise elected by the Plan participant.

Participants can contribute up to 70 percent of their eligible compensation, as defined, to the Plan, subject to limits set forth by the IRC. Participants who attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year were eligible to make catch-up contributions. The Company has an employer matching percentage of 100% of contributions up to 3% of compensation, plus 50% of contributions over 3% of compensation up to 6% of compensation. Additional contributions could be made at the option of the Company’s Board of Managers subject to certain limitations set forth in the Plan. All contributions are 100 percent vested.

Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans (rollover). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers various pooled separate accounts, mutual funds, Company stock and common collective trusts as investment options for participants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2020 and 2019

Note 1 - Description of Plan (CONTINUED)

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings or losses. Allocations are based on the participant’s eligible compensation or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Notes receivable transactions are treated as a transfer between the investment fund and the notes receivable fund. Notes receivable terms range from one to five years, although a longer term is permitted if proceeds are for the purchase of a primary residence. The notes receivable are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear a fixed rate of interest at 2 percent over the prime rate at the time the loan was made. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions in those cases where repayment through payroll deduction is available. Payments of principal and interest are credited to the participant’s account.

Forfeitures

Forfeited nonvested accounts will be used to pay administrative expenses, reduce employer contributions, or be reallocated to participants. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were $1,286 and $1,593 of forfeited nonvested accounts available to reduce Company contributions and pay administrative expenses, respectively. During 2020, $9,763 of forfeitures were used to reduce Company contributions. During 2020, $1 of forfeitures were used to pay administrative expenses.

Benefit Payments

Plan benefits are payable upon retirement at age 65 or later, disability, death, financial hardship, or termination of employment. Upon death, a participant’s account will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum upon the valuation date immediately following death. If a participant is at least age 59-1/2, an election may be made generally once each year, in writing, to receive a payment consisting of all or part of the account balance.

If the participant’s vested account is $5,000 or greater, upon retirement or termination of employment other than death, the vested account will generally be paid in one single sum (subject to exceptions described in the Plan). For 2020, an account could be maintained up to age 72, at which time payment must be arranged. If the balance is less than $5,000, the entire balance will be distributed upon retirement or termination in one lump sum payment.

Note 1 - Description of Plan (CONTINUED)

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the participants would become fully vested in their Company contributions.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investment Valuation

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

Excess Contributions Payable

The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of the IRC limits and are recorded as a liability with a corresponding deduction to contributions. There were no excess contributions payable as of December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Plan Expenses

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company pays all of the administrative expenses of the Plan except for administrative expenses incurred in conjunction with early withdrawals, participant requested services, and loan distributions (which are paid by participants). Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation in fair value of investments.

Subsequent Events

The Plan was amended in 2021 to provide for a one-time additional employer contribution of $5,000 on behalf of each active participant who is classified as a team leader with at least one direct report or an exempt human resource employee who is not currently participating in the Douglas Dynamics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan as of March 2021 and was an active participant in the Plan from January 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021.

The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 29, 2021, the date the financial statements were issued.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as,

•	quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
•	quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
•	inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
•	inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Douglas Dynamics, Inc. Common Stock is valued at fair value based on the closing price reported in an active market where such shares are traded.

Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the plan at year end.

Pooled separate accounts consist of various investment options (i.e. common stock, mutual funds, short-term securities, real estate) and are valued at the NAV which is based on the market value of its underlying investments. While the majority of the underlying asset values are quoted prices, the NAV of the pooled separate accounts is not publicly quoted and are determined by the insurance company. NAV is a readily determinable fair value and is the basis for current transactions.

Common collective trusts are valued at the NAV which is based on the market value of its underlying investments. The Plan offers funds that are common collective trusts. These funds are collective investment trusts that contain synthetic investment contracts comprised of both underlying investment and contractual components which have observable Level 1 or Level 2 pricing inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets. NAV is used as an estimate of fair value, as the reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment at NAV as of the measurement date as collective investment trusts can be redeemed on a daily basis. NAV is a readily determinable fair value and is the basis for current transactions.

NOTE 4 – PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are managed by Principal Life Insurance Company. Principal Life Insurance Company is the custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to Principal Life Insurance Company amounted to $40,720 for the year ended December 31, 2020. These party-in-interest transactions are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules at ERISA.

Note 5 - Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 8, 2014, that the volume submitter plan used by the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements.

GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

NOTE 6 - RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Following the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020, the values of investment securities have experienced significant volatility. These economic and market conditions and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may continue to adversely affect the Plan. The extent of the adverse impact to the amounts reported in the 2020 statement of net assets available for benefits will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
