  • Make Manitou «Easy to deal with»
  • Enlarge the product offer "cross-sell"

CREATINGGROWTH !

Form scalable beachheadsin new markets

STIMULATINGGROWTH !

Raise the dealers' barrierin mature markets

…on the 'delivering' side

ENABLINGGROWTH !

Shift processes from Reactiveness to anticipation

GUARANTEEINGGROWTH !

Load clockwork with firepowercost, leadtime, quality -

•Instill Forecast culture & tools

  • For business predictability (ours+dealers')
  • –For customer focus
  • For suppliers' visibility
  • – For manpowerramp-up

• EnforceOps Predictability

  • Manage diversity
  • –Improve productivity
  • Increase competencies
  • –Revisit domain boundaries

Appendix: Focus on Ag Market

1. Red Series

•12 'regular' models just produced differently

  • Batch processing for better predictability/availability/quality
  • Leadtime half the average one
  • Important both for suppliers and dealers (upstream & downstream)

•Good & quick commercial acceptance

  • 50% of volumes in France (90% in agriculture !)
  • 25% abroad with faster ramp-up now

•Interesting lessons to be learned

  • Differentiation can be managed differently (staggered, pushed out)
  • Batch processing also works for mid-series and Rental
  • Special Affairs to be boosted

2. Suppliers

•New Suppliers Executive Program

  • New Rules of Engagement (quality, leadtimes, buffer stocks)
  • Suppliers Convention in Ancenis in november with > 200 people
  • • Traction & recognition with Synapse initiative
  • For 280 'local' PaysPays-de-Loire suppliers & subcontractors
  • Manitou as a facilitator between banks, local authorities etc…
  • €11m of financing arranged + 17 diversification actions
  • • But still numerous alerts & defaults
  • Capacity ramp-up is tough for everyone
  • It is true all along the chain (supplier's suppliers also)
  • We have our own share of responsibility (ERP, processes)

3. Focus on Engines

• All 2012-EU soldmachines will have to be IIIB but:

  • Franchise for 20%(?) of last 5-years average volumes by category
  • Further tolerance if IIIA engine/machine stocked in the EU < Dec.31
  • • Implied challenge for truck manufacturers
  • Deepredesign (exteriors exteriors, cooling cooling, architecture) on a , tight roadmap
  • Significant cost impact with little/no customer benefi t
  • • Implied challenge for engines suppliers
  • Ramp-up of IIIA stocks + IIIB preseries… on top of organic demand!
  • Risk of delays
  • Probable allocations
  • 2011/2012 impact

4. New China Setup

From 2006….

…Into 2010

4. New China Setup

• Downplay the original manufacturing-onlyangle

  • Gain on labour offset by freight
  • Subcritical for local suppliers
  • • Leverage the HangCha power
  • Domestic leader on chinesemarket with rival Heli (both 25%)
  • New Lin'An industrial park with 80,000 trucks capacity + suppliers!
  • Wants to create future growth relay with Manitou for China

•Experience dual go-to-market strategy

  • Animate local dealers thru MCN for 'hi-value' applications
  • Use HMME for downcosting+distribution of 3 basic RTH models
  • Rebalance 50-50% shareholding for governance & alignment

5. Rearrangement of Family Control

•Global protocol signed by all family members

    1. Merger of Manitou and SFERT (42% holdco)
    1. New Shareholders' Agreement
    1. Parents-Children transmission

• Good progress vs. announcement datedFeb. 9

  • Completion by June 9, 2011 (Manitou EGM)
  • Secured and transparent process

• Reaffirmed and organizedfamily control

  • Over a reinforced Manitou (ca.€50m contributed cash & equivalents)
  • With Family up a few points (65% vs. 63% today)
  • With a clarified and improved governance

Revenue & OP Margin over 11 years

What to learn ? Where to go ?

Why a slow profitability ramp ?

  • •Compound inflation
  • •Size of commercial & central structure
  • •Manufacturing overcapacity (2011/2012)
  • •Regulatory & Safety environment
  • •Different Pricing strategy & Revenue mix
  • •Difficult supplier leverage (2011)
  • •Poor operational efficiency (2011)

Double-digit EBIT Margin still a target

Outlook & Guidance

  • •2011 will be the year of the recovery…
  • • …financially but alsooperationally
  • •Bury the past and deliver the present…
  • • …but also prepareand invent the future
  • •This is just the beginning of a new cycle
  • •The trend is clear, the slope & pace are less
  • •Success is for us to lose
