BUSINESS Our Business The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries. Following the completion of the Rabern acquisition, the Company reports in two business segments and has five operating segments, under which there are five reporting units. The Company previously announced the closing of the Badger reporting unit which is expected to be finalized in mid-2023. On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Rabern Rentals, LLC (“Rabern”) and Steven Berner, as owner of 100% of Rabern’s outstanding membership interests. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern from Steven Berner for a purchase price of approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million. Rabern is a construction rental equipment provider, headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, primarily servicing business in the Texas panhandle. Lifting Equipment Segment Manitex markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes, aerial platforms, electrical industrial cranes and utility vehicles. Manitex’s boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration, energy distribution and infrastructure development, including roads, bridges and commercial construction and the tree care industry. Truck mounted aerial work platforms are widely used in several diverse applications. High reach aerial work platforms are used in highway signage maintenance and construction, parking lot lighting applications, as well as telecommunication maintenance and upgrades. Medium reach aerial work platforms cover most retail shopping and commercial advertising. Larger capacity aerial work platforms are used as support vehicles to service and maintain equipment in mining applications. Cranes and aerial platforms are configured for tree management and removal, both manned and remote applications. Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M” or “Equipment Distribution”) has historically been a distributor of the Company’s products as well as other cranes. Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. (“C&M Leasing”) rents equipment manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties. Beginning in 2023, C&M will be a distributor of the Company's Valla and Oil & Steel products in the United States. PM and Oil and Steel S.p.A. (“PM” or “PM Group”) is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck- mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes with a 64-year history of technology and innovation, and a product range spanning more than 50 models. PM is also a manufacturer of truck-mounted aerial platforms with a diverse product line and an international client base. Through its consolidated subsidiaries, PM Group has locations in Modena, Italy; Valencia, Spain; Arad, Romania; Chassieu, France; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago, Chile; Singapore and Querétaro, Mexico. PM cranes are also distributed by the Company's subsidiary, Manitex Inc, in Georgetown, Texas. The Company’s subsidiary, Manitex Valla S.r.L. (“Valla”) produces a full range of precision pick and carry industrial cranes using electric, diesel, and hybrid power options. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, and fixed or swing boom configurations, with special 2 applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers. These products are sold internationally through dealers and into the rental distribution channel. Rental Equipment Segment The Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Rabern, rents heavy duty and light duty commercial construction equipment, mainly to commercial contractors on a short-term rental basis. Rabern also rents equipment to homeowners for do-it-yourself projects. Rabern operates through commercial distribution and delivery stores (branches). Rabern has three branches located in the greater Amarillo, Texas market and Rabern expects to open its fourth branch in Lubbock, Texas. General Corporate Information Our predecessor company was formed in 1993 and was purchased in 2003 by Veri-Tek International, Corp., which changed its name to Manitex International, Inc. in 2008. Our principal executive offices are located at 9725 Industrial Drive, Bridgeview, Illinois 60455 and our telephone number is (708) 430-7500. Our website address is www.manitexinternational.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report and such information should not be considered to be part of this report. INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BUSINESS Boom Trucks A boom truck is a straight telescopic boom crane outfitted with a hook and winch which is mounted on a standard flatbed commercial (Class 7 or 8) truck chassis. Relative to other lifting equipment, boom trucks provide increased versatility, with some models capable of transporting relatively large payloads from site to site at highway speeds. A boom truck is usually sold with outriggers, pads and devices for reinforcing the chassis in order to improve safety and stability. Although produced in a wide range of models and sizes, boom trucks can be broadly distinguished by their normal lifting capability as light, medium, and heavy-cranes. Various models of medium or heavy- lift boom trucks can safely lift loads from 15- to 90-tons and operating radii can exceed 200 feet. Another advantage of the boom truck is the ability to provide occasional man lift capabilities at a very low cost to height ratio. While it is not uncommon to see a very old boom truck, most replacement cycles trend to seven years. The market for boom trucks has historically been cyclical. Although the Company offers a complete line of boom trucks from light to heavy capacity cranes, much of our efforts have been devoted to the development of higher capacity boom trucks specifically designed to meet the particular needs of customers including those in energy production and electrical power distribution. We believe it is an advantage to be skewed towards the heavier lifting capacity, since the heavier capacity cranes have higher margins. The Company has developed an electric option called Manitex ECSY (Electric Crane System). The ECSY system is a practical innovation, allowing owners the flexibility to operate the crane remotely on chassis diesel hydraulic power with a supplemental electric motor which can be engaged when the crane is stationary and operate on locally available electric power sources. Markets that drive demand for boom trucks include power distribution, oil and gas recovery, infrastructure and new home, commercial and industrial construction. Historically, the new home construction market, which uses lower capacity cranes, has been the most cyclical. Over the past few years, demand from the energy sector has become more cyclical in part due to changes in oil prices. The Company sells its boom trucks through a network of over forty full-service dealers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, and the Middle East. A number of our dealers maintain a rental fleet of their own. Boom trucks can be rented for either short or long-term periods. Knuckle Boom Cranes PM knuckle boom cranes are hydraulic folding and articulating cranes, mounted on a commercial chassis, with lifting capacities that range from small (lifting capacity up to three-ton meter) to super heavy (lifting capacity up to two-hundred-and-ten-ton meter), often supplied with a jib for additional reach. The knuckle boom has a compact design and footprint which can be mounted on a chassis to maximize the load carrying capability. Combined with the crane’s ability to operate in a compact footprint the ability to carry a payload provides a competitive advantage over other truck mounted cranes and makes the knuckle boom crane particularly attractive for a variety of end uses in the construction and product delivery sectors. 3 The knuckle boom crane market is a global market with a wide variety of end sector applications, but focused particularly on residential and non-residential construction, road and bridge infrastructure development, waste management and utility applications. PM knuckle boom cranes are sold into a variety of geographies including West and East Europe, Central Asia, Africa, North and Central America, South America, the Middle East and the Far East and Pacific region. Historically, PM focused on its domestic and local Western European markets, but in recent years has expanded its sales and distribution efforts internationally. PM has six international sales and distribution offices located in the Far East and in Latin America. The market for knuckle boom cranes has been growing in recent years as the acceptability of the product has grown and its advantages have been accepted. Growth in North America, where the straight-mast boom truck crane has been the more dominant product, has been more rapid in recent years in combination with the overall improvement in the North American construction sector. PM’s share of the North American market has been historically low; however, we believe that this is an area of growth opportunity for the Company. Aerial Work Platforms Oil & Steel aerial platforms are self-propelled or truck mounted and places an operator in a basket in the air in order to perform maintenance, repairs or similar activities. The equipment is used in a variety of applications including utilities, sign work and industrial maintenance and is often sold to rental operations. Oil & Steel serves a number of geographies in North America, Western and Eastern Europe and sells through dealers as well as its own sales and distribution offices and two subsidiaries in Spain and France. In North America, products are sold under the Manitex brand and through its distribution network. The market generally follows the domestic economic cycle for any particular country. Consequently, the market has shown a positive trend in the past several years. Industrial Cranes As of January 2022, the Company had discontinued the industrial crane product line. Valla Cranes Valla product line of industrial cranes is a full range of precision pick and carry cranes from 2 to 44 tons, using electric, diesel, and hybrid power options. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, and fixed or swing boom configurations, with special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers. The product is sold internationally through dealers and into the rental distribution channel. Equipment Distribution C&M is a United States distributor of the Company’s products. C&M Leasing rents equipment manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties. Part Sales As part of our operations, we supply repair and replacement parts for our products. The parts business margins are generally higher than our overall margins. Part sales as a percentage of revenues tend to increase when there is a down-turn in the industry. Part sales as a percentage of revenues are approximately 12% for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Company Revenues by Sources The sources of the Company’s revenues are summarized below: Boom trucks, knuckle boom & truck cranes Aerial platforms Part and merchandise sales Rental Other equipment Services Net Revenue In 2022 and 2021 no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue. 4 2022 2021 53% 14% 12% 7% 12% 2% 100% 61% 13% 12% 0% 11% 3% 100% Raw Materials The Company purchases a variety of components used in the production of its products. The Company purchases steel and a variety of machined parts, components and subassemblies including weldments, winches, cylinders, frames, rims, axles, wheels, tires, suspensions, cables, booms and cabs, as well as engines, transmissions and cabs. Additionally, Manitex and PM mount their cranes on commercial truck chassis, which are either purchased by the Company or supplied by the customer. Lead times for these materials (including chassis) historically varied from several weeks to many months. The Company is vulnerable to a supply interruption in instances when only one supplier has been qualified. Identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers can be very time consuming, and in some cases, could take longer than a year. The Company has been working on qualifying secondary sources of some products to assure supply consistency and to reduce costs. The degree to which our supply base can respond to changes in market demand directly affects our ability to increase production and the Company attempts to maintain some additional inventory in order to react to unexpected increases in demand. Supply chain issues have impacted the Company and we expect this to continue to cause disruption in 2023. The disruptions continue to put a strain on our team and resources, specifically on our electronic components and truck chassis. Future supply chain issues that might impact the Company will in part depend on how fast the rate of growth is for a product. Strong general economic growth could put us in competition for parts with other industries. Additionally, events or circumstances at a particular supplier could impact the availability of a necessary component. Patents and Trademarks The Company protects its trade names and trademarks through registration. Its technology consists of bill of materials, drawings, plans, vendor sources and specifications and although the Company’s technology has considerable value, it does not generally have patent protection. The Company has (on rare occasions) filed for patent protection on a specific feature. In the future, the Company will consider seeking patent protection on any new design features believed to present a significant future benefit. The Company owns and uses several trademarks relating to its brands that have significant value and are instrumental to the Company’s ability to market its products. The Company’s most significant trademark is “Manitex” (presently registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office until 2027). Badger Equipment Company previously marketed its products under the “Little Giant” and "Badger" trade names which were discontinued during January 2022. Valla markets its products under the “Valla” tradename. PM sells its products using the trademark “PM” and PM subsidiary, PM Oil & Steel S.p.A. sells its products using the “OIL & STEEL” trademark. The Manitex, Valla, PM and OIL & STEEL trademarks and trade names are important to the marketing and operation of the Company’s business as a significant number of our products are sold under those names. PM has three patents. One is registered with the Italian Patents and Trademarks Office until 2028. PM has two additional patents registered with The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market for Trademarks, ("OHIM") that are in force until 2031 and 2034, respectively. Seasonality Traditionally, the Company’s peak selling periods for cranes are the second and fourth quarters of a calendar year. A significant portion of cranes sold over the last several years have been deployed in specialized industries or applications, such as energy, residential and commercial construction. Sales in these markets are subject to significant fluctuations which correlate more with general economic conditions and the prices of commodities and generally are not of a seasonal nature. Crane repairs are performed throughout the year, but are somewhat affected by the slowdown in construction activity during the typically harsh winters in the Midwestern United States. The sale of parts is much less seasonal given the geographic breadth of the customer base. Competition The market for the Company’s boom trucks, knuckle boom cranes, and industrial cranes is highly competitive. The Company competes based on product design, quality of products and services, product performance, maintenance costs and price. Several competitors have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and distribution resources than we do. The Company believes that it effectively competes with its competitors. The Company’s boom cranes compete with cranes manufactured by National Crane, Custom Truck One Source, Elliott and Altec and Weldco Beales. The Company’s knuckle boom cranes compete with Palfinger, Fassi, Effer and HIAB. While no geographic limitations exist regarding the business’s ability to sell cranes internationally, the lack of any barriers to entry and the heavy use of the internet make this a highly active and competitive market in which to distribute cranes. Parts sales are global in scope and benefit greatly from the internet and the tenure and expertise of our employees. While competition in this area is extensive, we believe that the breadth of the products offered and our long history in this part of the business is a competitive advantage. 5 The Company's rental business competes based on the design, quality and performance of the products it makes available for rental, price and the good maintenance and repair of the equipment it provides. Several competitors have greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than we do. The Company, however, believes that it effectively competes with its competitors. Backlog Backlog, which includes firm orders for equipment which we have not yet shipped as well as orders by foreign subsidiaries for international deliveries, was $230.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, up 22% from the end of 2021 and up 11% from the end of the third quarter of 2022. Backlog includes firm orders for equipment which has not yet shipped as well as orders by foreign subsidiaries for international deliveries. The majority of the Company's backlog is expected to be filled within one year, although there can be no assurance that all such backlog orders will be filled within that time. Our backlog orders represent primarily new equipment orders. Parts sales are generally filled as ordered. Employees As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 601 full-time employees and 7 part-time employees. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and anticipates continued good employee relations. Seven (7) of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements at our Badger subsidiary and are represented by International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) and its local No. 316. The current union contract expires on June 21, 2023. The Company acquired Rabern in April 2022 which has 63 employees across four (4) locations. Governmental Regulation The Company is subject to various governmental regulations, such as environmental regulations, employment and health regulations, and safety regulations. We have various internal controls and procedures designed to maintain compliance with these regulations. The cost of compliance programs is not material but is subject to additions to or changes in federal, state or local legislation or changes in regulatory implementation or interpretation of government regulations. Available Information The Company makes available free of charge our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished as required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), through our Internet Website (www.manitexinternational.com) as soon as is reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The SEC also maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Information contained in or incorporated into our Internet Website or the SEC’s website is not incorporated by reference herein. 6 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS The reader should carefully consider the following risks, together with the cautionary statement under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” and the other information included in this report. The risks described below represent all of the material risks currently known to us; however, they are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks that are currently unknown to the Company or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial may also impair its business or adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operation could be adversely affected. Risks Relating to the Company’s Business and Operations A future substantial deterioration in economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe, would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Economic conditions affect the Company’s sales volumes, pricing levels and overall profitability. Demand for many of the Company’s products depends on end-use markets. Challenging economic conditions may reduce demand for our products and may also impair the ability of customers to pay for products they have purchased. As a result, the Company’s allowance for credit losses and write-offs for accounts receivable may increase. Significant deterioration in economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe, has had and may again have negative effects on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. A significant deterioration in economic conditions has caused and may again cause deterioration in the credit quality of our customers and the estimated residual value of our equipment. This could further negatively impact the ability of our customers to obtain the resources they need to make purchases of our equipment or to fulfill their obligations under our rental agreements. Reduced credit availability will diminish our customers' ability to invest in their businesses, refinance maturing debt obligations, and meet ongoing working capital needs. If customers do not have sufficient access to credit, demand for the Company’s products will likely decline. Reduced access to credit and the capital markets will also negatively affect the Company’s ability to invest in strategic growth initiatives such as acquisitions. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in national, state and local government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus, shelter-in-place restrictions, and limitations or shutdowns of business operations. These measures, some of which are continuing or have been re-implemented in light of new variants of the virus, have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our dealers and suppliers. We have significant operations worldwide, including in the United States, Italy and Romania and each of these countries have been affected by the pandemic and have taken measures to try to contain it, resulting in disruptions at some of our manufacturing facilities and support operations. There is still uncertainty regarding the full impact and duration of such measures and potential future measures, and restrictions on our access to our facilities or on our support operations or workforce, or similar limitations for our customers, dealers and suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our supply chain and resulted in higher material costs as well as delays in scheduled shipments of our products. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, although the full extent is still uncertain. As the pandemic continues to evolve and new variants continue to emerge, the extent of the impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the continued duration of the pandemic, government actions to contain the virus and/or treat its impact, restrictions on travel, the duration, timing and severity of the impact on customer demand, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are still uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our revenues and profitability are impacted by government spending and fluctuations in the construction industry. Many of the Company’s customers depend substantially on government spending, including highway construction and maintenance and other infrastructure projects by U.S. federal and state governments as well as foreign governments. Any decrease or delay in government funding of highway construction and maintenance and other infrastructure projects could cause the Company’s revenues and profits to decrease. 7 The Company’s level of indebtedness reduces our financial flexibility and meeting financial covenants required by our debt agreements could impede our ability to successfully operate. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s total debt was $90.3 million, which includes notes payable and finance lease obligations. Our level of debt affects our operations in several important ways, including the following: • • • • • a significant portion of our cash flow from operations is likely to be dedicated to the payment of the principal and interest on our indebtedness; our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions may be limited; we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all; our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments; and we may be unable to obtain additional loans as a result of covenants and agreements with existing debt holders. The Company’s existing debt agreements contain a number of significant covenants which may limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional money, make capital expenditures, pay dividends, dispose of assets and acquire new businesses. These covenants also require the Company to meet certain financial tests. A default or other event of non-compliance, if not waived or otherwise permitted by the Company’s lenders, could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and possibly bankruptcy. The Company may be unable to negotiate extensions of our credit agreements and to obtain additional debt or equity financing when needed. Our future capital requirements will depend on the amount of cash generated or required by our current operations, as well as additional funds which may be needed to finance future acquisitions. Future cash needs are subject to substantial uncertainty. Adequate funds may not be available when needed, and if we do not receive sufficient capital, we may be required to alter or reduce the scope of our operations or to forego making future acquisitions. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, existing stockholders may be diluted. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately and timely report our financial results, which could negatively impact our business, investor confidence, and the price of our common stock. We previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in 2017 and 2018, which were remediated in 2021. However, we may identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures in the future, our ability to record, process, and report financial information accurately and to prepare financial statements within required time periods could be adversely affected, which could subject us to litigation, investigations, or penalties; negatively affect our liquidity, our access to capital markets, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants, any of which may require substantial time, expense and management resources to remediate, or cause our stock price to decline. The Company’s business is affected by the cyclical nature of its markets. A substantial portion of our Lifting Equipment business's revenues are attributed to a limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing any time, since the Company’s products depend upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s sales depend in part upon its customers replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions, including a decrease in commodity prices, may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery. Downward economic cycles may result in reductions in sales of the Company’s products, which may reduce the Company’s profits. A large portion of the Company’s revenues are attributed to a limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing any time. The Company’s revenues from its Lifting Equipment business are largely attributed to a limited number of customers. We generally do not have long-term supply agreements with our customers. Even if a multi-year contract exists, the customer is not required to commit to minimum purchases and can cease purchasing at any time. Our Rental Equipment business’s rental agreements with commercial and 8 consumer customers are also on a short-term basis. If we were to lose either a significant customer or several smaller customers our operating results and cash flows would be adversely impacted. The Company’s business is sensitive to increases in interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to its existing variable rate debt, which exposure could increase if the Company incurs additional variable rate debt in the future. If interest rates rise, it becomes more costly for the Company to borrow money and costlier for our customers to pay for the equipment they buy from the Company, which could result in a reduction of product sales or profit margins and adversely affect our financial results. Our increasingly international operations expose us to additional risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally. The international expansion of our business may expose us to risks inherent in conducting foreign operations. These risks include: • • • • • • • • • challenges associated with managing geographically diverse operations, which require an effective organizational structure and appropriate business processes, procedures and controls; the increased cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions, including compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations; currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations and the resulting effect on our revenue and expenses, and the cost and risk of entering into hedging transactions, if we continue to do so in the future; cash requirements to finance business growth; potentially adverse tax consequences; complexities and difficulties in obtaining protection and enforcing our intellectual property; compliance with additional regulations and government authorities in a highly regulated business; general economic and political conditions internationally; and public health concerns, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, changes to the United States participation in, withdrawal from, renegotiation of certain international trade agreements or other major trade related issues including the non-renewal of expiring favorable tariffs granted to developing countries, tariff quotas, and retaliatory tariffs, trade sanctions, new or onerous trade restrictions, embargoes and other stringent government controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses, revenues, and earnings are denominated in other countries' currencies, including the Euro, Chilean Peso, and Argentinean Peso. Those assets, liabilities, expenses, revenues and earnings are translated into U.S. Dollars at the applicable exchange rates to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, increases or decreases in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and those other currencies affect the value of those items as reflected in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value remains unchanged in their original currency. In connection with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. government has imposed enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. The Company is not accepting orders from Russia at this time. This region does not represent a material portion of our international operations, and we do not rely on any material goods from suppliers in the region. However, the fluidity and continuation of the conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These include decreased sales, supply chain, increases to European energy costs and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy and heightened cybersecurity threats. The risks that the Company faces in its international operations may continue to intensify if the Company further develops and expands its international operations. 9 The Company may face limitations on its ability to integrate acquired businesses and manage anticipated growth and may be unable to effectively respond to technological change and implementing new systems. The successful integration of new business depends on the Company’s ability to manage these new businesses and cut excess costs. The Company cannot ensure that these acquired companies will operate profitably or that the intended beneficial effect from these acquisitions will be realized. If the Company fails to manage growth, the Company’s financial results and business prospects may be harmed. To manage the Company’s growth and to execute its business plan efficiently, the Company will need to institute, maintain and continue to improve operational, financial and management controls, as well as reporting systems and procedures. The Company also must effectively expand, train and manage its employee base. The Company may not be successful in any of these endeavors. The markets served by the Company are not historically characterized by rapidly changing technology. Nevertheless, the Company’s future success will depend in part upon the Company’s ability to enhance its current products and to develop and introduce new products and successfully operate and grow its Equipment Rental business. If the Company fails to anticipate or respond adequately to competitors' product improvements and new product introductions, future results of operations and financial condition will be negatively affected. Some of our customers rely on financing with third parties to purchase our products. Our Lifting Equipment business relies on sales of our products to generate cash from operations. Significant portions of our sales are financed by third-party finance companies on behalf of our customers. The availability and terms of financing by third parties are affected by general economic conditions, credit worthiness of our customers and estimated residual value of our equipment. Deterioration in credit quality of our customers or estimated residual value of our equipment, increases in interest rates or changes in the terms of third-party financing agreements could negatively impact the ability or willingness of our customers to obtain resources they need to purchase our equipment. There can be no assurance that third-party finance companies will continue to extend credit to our customers. The Company operates in a highly competitive industry and the Company is particularly subject to the risks of such competition. The Company competes in a highly competitive industry and the competition which the Company encounters has an effect on its product prices, market share, revenues and profitability. Because certain competitors have substantially greater financial, production, research and development resources and substantially greater name recognition than the Company, the Company is particularly subject to the risks inherent in competing with them and may be put at a competitive disadvantage. To compete successfully, the Company’s products must excel in terms of quality, price, product line, ease of use, safety and comfort, and the Company must also provide excellent customer service. The greater financial resources of the Company’s competitors may put it at a competitive disadvantage. If competition in the Company’s industry intensifies or if the Company’s current competitors enhance their products or lower their prices for competing products, the Company may lose sales or be required to lower its prices. This may reduce revenue from the Company’s products and services, lower its gross margins or cause the Company to lose market share. The Company may not be able to differentiate its products from those of competitors, successfully develop or introduce less costly products, offer better performance than competitors or offer purchasers of our products payment and other commercial terms as favorable as those offered by competitors. The Company is dependent upon third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages. The Company obtains materials and manufactured components from third-party suppliers. Any delay in the ability of the Company’s suppliers to provide the Company with necessary materials and components may affect the Company’s capabilities at a number of its manufacturing locations, or may require the Company to seek alternative supply sources. Delays in obtaining supplies may result from a number of factors affecting the Company’s suppliers' including capacity constraints, labor disputes, the impaired financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, difficulties in obtaining raw materials, shipping delays or disruptions, public health emergencies, weather emergencies or acts of war or terrorism. Any delay in receiving supplies could impair the Company’s ability to deliver products to its customers and, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company purchases materials and services from suppliers on extended terms based on the Company’s overall credit rating. Negative changes in the Company’s credit rating may impact suppliers' willingness to extend terms and increase the cash requirements of the business. 10 Price increases in materials could reduce our profitability. We use large amounts of steel and other items in the manufacture of our products. In the past, market prices of some of our key raw materials increased significantly. If we experience future significant increases in material costs, including steel, we may not be able to reduce product cost in other areas or pass raw material price increases on to our customers and our margins could be adversely affected. The cost of material and manufactured components has increased due to inflation and has a direct affect to our business and outlook. The Company faces product liability claims and other liabilities due to the nature of its business. In the Company’s lines of business numerous suits have been filed alleging damages for accidents that have occurred during the use or operation of the Company’s products. The Company is self-insured, up to certain limits, for these product liability exposures, as well as for certain exposures related to general, worker's compensation and automobile liability. Insurance coverage is obtained for catastrophic losses as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. Any material liabilities not covered by insurance could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. The Company’s success depends upon the continued protection of its trademarks and the Company may be forced to incur substantial costs to maintain, defend, protect and enforce its intellectual property rights. The Company’s registered and common law trademarks, as well as certain of the Company’s licensed trademarks, have significant value and are instrumental to the Company’s ability to market its products. The Company’s trademarks “Manitex”, “Valla”, “PM” and “Oil and Steel ” are important to the Company’s business as the majority of the Company’s products are sold (or services are provided) under those names. The Company has not registered all of its trademarks in the United States nor in the foreign countries where it does business. Third parties could assert claims against such intellectual property that the Company could be unable to successfully resolve. If the Company has to change the names of any of its products, it may experience a loss of goodwill associated with its brand names, customer confusion and a loss of sales. In addition, international protection of the Company’s intellectual property may not be available in some foreign countries to the same extent permitted by the laws of the United States. The Company could also incur substantial costs to defend legal actions relating to use of its intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company may be unable to access the capital markets to raise funds and provide liquidity when needed. Our access to capital markets to raise funds through the sale of equity or debt securities is subject to various factors, including general economic and/or financial market conditions which are outside our control, as well as our historical and expected future financial performance and perceived credit worthiness. Significant changes in market liquidity conditions or our actual or perceived financial condition could impact access to funding and associated funding costs, which could reduce our earnings and cash flows. 11 Compliance with changing laws and regulations may increase our costs or reduce our business flexibility. Our operations are subject to a number of potential risks. Such risks principally include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • trade protection measures and currency exchange controls; labor unrest; global and regional economic conditions; political instability; terrorist activities and the U.S. and international response thereto; restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of a country; export duties and quotas; domestic and foreign customs and tariffs; current and changing regulatory environments; difficulties protecting our intellectual property; transportation delays and interruptions; difficulty in obtaining distribution support; natural disasters; and current and changing tax laws. The Company must comply with all applicable laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other laws that prohibit engaging in corruption for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. These anti-corruption laws prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments or providing anything of value to improperly influence government officials or private individuals for the purpose of obtaining or retaining a business advantage regardless of whether those practices are legal or culturally expected in a particular jurisdiction. Our global activities and distribution model are subject to risk of corruption by our employees and in addition, our sales agents, distributors, dealers and other third parties that transact Manitex business may be subject to a higher risk of corruption because these parties are generally not subject to our control. If Rabern is unable to collect on its rental contracts with customers, our operating results could be adversely affected. One of the reasons some of Rabern’s customers find it more attractive to rent equipment than own that equipment is the need to deploy their capital elsewhere. This has been particularly true in industries with recent high growth rates such as the construction industry. However, some of Rabern’s customers may have liquidity issues and ultimately may not be able to fulfill the terms of their rental agreements with Rabern. If Rabern is unable to manage credit risk issues adequately, or if a large number of customers have financial difficulties at the same time, Rabern’s allowance for credit losses could increase and our operating results for the Rental Equipment segment would be adversely affected. Further, a worsening of economic conditions would be expected to result in increased delinquencies and credit losses. If Rabern’s rental fleet ages, its operating costs may increase, it may be unable to pass along such costs, and our earnings from the Rental Equipment segment may decrease. The costs of new equipment Rabern uses in its fleet have increased, and may continue to increase, requiring Rabern to spend more for replacement equipment or preventing Rabern from procuring equipment on a timely basis. If Rabern’s rental equipment ages, the costs of maintaining such equipment, if not replaced within a certain period of time, will likely increase. The costs of maintenance may materially increase in the future and could lead to material adverse effects on our results of operations. The cost of new equipment for use in Rabern’s rental fleet has increased, and could continue to increase in the future, due to increased material costs from its suppliers (including tariffs on raw materials) or other factors beyond its control. Such increases could materially adversely impact the rental equipment segment’s financial condition and results of operations in future periods. Furthermore, changes in customer demand could cause certain of Rabern’s existing equipment to become obsolete and require Rabern to purchase new equipment at increased costs. 12 Rabern’s rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition, and may not sell at the prices or in the quantities we expect. The market value of any given piece of rental equipment could be less than its depreciated value at the time it is sold. The market value of used rental equipment depends on several factors, including: • • • • • • • • the market price for new equipment of a like kind; wear and tear on the equipment relative to its age and the performance of preventive maintenance; the time of year that it is sold; the supply of used equipment on the market; the existence and capacities of different sales outlets; the age of the equipment at the time it is sold; worldwide and domestic demand for used equipment; and general economic conditions. Our rental equipment segment includes in income from operations the difference between the sales price and the depreciated value of an item of equipment sold. Changes in our assumptions regarding depreciation could change the rental equipment segment’s depreciation expense, as well as the gain or loss realized upon disposal of equipment. Sales of Rabern’s used rental equipment at prices that fall significantly below our projections and/or in lesser quantities than we anticipate will have a negative impact on the Rental Equipment segment’s results of operations and cash flows. The Company depends on its information technology systems. If its information technology systems do not perform in a satisfactory manner or if the security of them is breached, it could be disruptive and or adversely affect the operations and results of operations of the Company. The Company depends on its information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information (including sensitive data such as confidential business information and personally identifiable data relating to employees, customers and other business partners), and to manage or support a variety of critical business processes and activities. If our information technology systems do not perform in a satisfactory manner, it could be disruptive and or adversely affect the operations and results of operations of the Company, including the ability of the Company to report accurate and timely financial results. Furthermore, our information technology systems may be damaged, disrupted or shut down due to attacks by computer hackers, computer viruses, employee error or malfeasance, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication or utility failures, catastrophes or other unforeseen events, and in any such circumstances our system redundancy and other disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate. A failure of or breach in information technology security could expose us and our customers, distributors and suppliers to risks of misuse of information or systems, the compromise of confidential information, manipulation and destruction of data, defective products, production downtime and operations disruptions. In addition, such breaches in security could result in litigation, regulatory action and potential liability, as well as the costs and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. The Company relies on key management. The Company relies on the management and leadership skills of Michael Coffey, its Chief Executive Officer. Although Mr. Coffey entered into an employment agreement with the Company commencing on April 11, 2022, his employment is at will, and may be terminated by either party at any time, with or without cause. The loss of his services could have a significant and negative impact on the Company’s business. In addition, the Company relies on the management and leadership skills of other senior executives. The Company could be harmed by the loss of key personnel in the future. The Company may be required to record goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets impairment charges on all or a significant amount of the goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company reviews goodwill, long-lived assets, including property and identifiable amortizing intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $2.1 million of impairment charges in goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets. Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions relating to the carrying value of these assets are reasonable and reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment date, any changes to these assumptions and estimates due to market conditions or otherwise may lead to an outcome where 13 impairment charges would be required in future periods. An impairment of a significant portion of goodwill, intangible assets or fixed assets could materially and negatively affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s principal shareholders, executive officers and directors hold a significant percentage of the Company’s common stock, and these shareholders may take actions that may be adverse to your interests. The Company’s principal shareholders, executive officers and directors beneficially own, in the aggregate approximately 40% of the Company’s common stock as of January 17, 2023. As a result, these shareholders, acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers, consolidations, sales and purchases of assets. They also could dictate the management of the Company’s business and affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or impeding a merger or consolidation, takeover or other business combination, even if smaller shareholders support such a transaction, which could cause the market price of our common stock to fall or prevent smaller shareholders from receiving a premium in such a transaction. 14 Provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws may discourage or prevent a takeover of the Company. Provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Michigan law could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire the Company, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to you. These provisions could discourage potential takeover attempts and could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares. Because of these provisions, you might not be able to receive a premium on your investment. These provisions: • • • • authorize the Company’s Board of Directors, with approval by a majority of its independent directors but without requiring shareholder consent, to issue shares of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by the Company’s Board of Directors to significantly dilute the ownership percentage of existing shareholders and prevent a takeover attempt; limit our shareholders' ability to call a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders; limit the Company’s shareholders' ability to amend, alter or repeal the Company bylaws; and restrict business combinations with certain shareholders. The provisions described above could prevent, delay or defer a change in control of the Company or its management. General Risk Factors The trading price of our common stock is highly volatile. The trading price of the Company’s common stock is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including: • • • • • • • • • the degree to which the Company successfully implements its business strategy; actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or annual operating results; changes in recommendations by the investment community or in their estimates of the Company’s revenues or operating results; failure to meet expectations of industry analysts; speculation in the press or investment community; strategic actions by the Company’s competitors; announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors; changes in business conditions affecting the Company and its customers; and potential to be delisted. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action litigation has often been brought against companies. If a securities class action suit is filed against us, whether or not meritorious, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business in order to respond to the litigation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Recent Developments New Business Segment On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rabern and Steven Berner. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern for a purchase price of approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million, subject to the various adjustments, escrows and other provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The Rabern acquisition closed on April 11, 2022. The financial results include the Rabern operations since the date of the acquisition. Impact of COVID-19 During 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted demand for the Company’s products. While these impacts subsided in 2022, the Company experienced, and is still experiencing, supply chain and logistic constraints that negatively impacted its ability to manufacture and ship products. Business Overview The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of continuing operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes, and other information included elsewhere in this Report. When reading this section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, it is important that you also read the financial statements and related notes thereto.

Gross profit as a percent of net revenues was 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net revenue and gross profit were $211.5 million and $32.9 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of net revenues was 15.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021. 19 For 2022, revenues increased $62.3 million, or 29.5%, from $211.5 million for 2021. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increases in sales of straight mast cranes, including chassis sales, from the Company’s United States subsidiaries and knuckle boom cranes and aerial platforms from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Additional increase in rental revenue was realized as a result of the Rabern acquisition. Revenue also increased from parts and merchandise sales. Gross profit as a percent of net revenues was 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022, which increased 2.7% from 15,6% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit is attributable to increases in revenues due to the Rabern acquisition and increases in sales of straight mast cranes partially offset by higher material costs. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily driven by the Rabern acquisition offset by material cost inflation due to disruptions in the supply chain. Research and development —Research and development for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $3.0 million, compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2021. The Company’s research and development spending continues to reflect our commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage. Selling, general and administrative expense — Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $40.4 million compared to $31.9 million for the comparable period in 2021, an increase of $8.5 million. The increases are primarily related to SG&A expense of $3.8 million related to the Rabern acquisition, increased severance charges of $1.5 million, and higher stock compensation cost of $1.0 million. Transaction costs — Transaction costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $2.2 million, related to deal costs in connection with the Rabern acquisition. Impairment of intangibles and fixed assets – There was no impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. Impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $2.1 million. Valla recorded a full impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $1.7 million driven by net losses in the business. In addition, the restructuring plan that resulted in the closure of the Badger facility drove an impairment to its intangible and fixed assets of $0.4 million. Interest expense —Interest expense was $4.6 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to higher debt and interest rates due to the new credit facilities and term debt added in connection with the Rabern acquisition. Gain on Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness —Gain on loan forgiveness was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loan by the SBA. The gain on loan forgiveness is not subject to U.S. taxation. This deductible permanent difference is offset by a change in the U.S. valuation allowance and therefore has no impact on the effective tax rate. Foreign currency transaction loss —The Company had a foreign currency loss of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A substantial portion of the losses relate to changes in the Chilean peso. Other income (expense)— Other expense was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in other expense was driven by $2.9 million related to the settlement of a claim related to a previously-closed sale of a business, partially offset by other income due to a gain on sale of a building associated with the Badger restructuring and the reversal of a previously recorded contingent liability consideration. Income tax — The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 primarily consists of a domestic income tax provision resulting from the acquisition of Rabern, foreign income taxes, the change in uncertain tax positions and valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate continuing operations was an income tax provision of 96.8% on a pretax loss of $2.2 million compared to an income tax provision of 36.3% on a pretax loss of $3.4 million from prior year. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax effects related to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, 20 nondeductible permanent differences, domestic and foreign losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit, the change in uncertain tax positions and valuation allowance. Liquidity and Capital Resources The ultimate duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain at this time. Accordingly, its impact on the global economy generally and our customers and suppliers specifically, as well as the ultimate potential negative financial impact to our results of operations and liquidity position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but have been and could continue to be material. In the context of these uncertain conditions, we are actively managing the business to maintain cash flow and ensure that we have sufficient liquidity for a variety of scenarios. We believe that such strategy will allow us to meet our anticipated funding requirements. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $8.2 million and $21.6 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. At December 31, 2022, the Company had global liquidity of approximately $36 million based on the cash balance and availability under its working capital facilities. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral. On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into an $85 million credit facility with Amarillo National Bank consisting of a working capital facility of $40 million based on Manitex assets, working capital facility of $30 million based on Rabern assets and $15 million term loan facility. This new banking facility provided the funds for the Rabern acquisition and working capital facilities for both the Manitex and Rabern businesses. At December 31, 2022, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with five Italian, one Spanish, twelve South American banks and one bank in Romania. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $24.1 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At December 31, 2022, the PM Group had availability under these facilities of $4.3 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral. If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against accounts receivable and inventory would limit future borrowings. If this were to occur, we would attempt to negotiate higher inventory caps with our banks. There is, however, no assurance that the banks would agree to increase the caps. The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit and working capital facilities will be adequate to fund future operations. If, in the future, we were to determine that additional funding is necessary, we believe that it would be available. There is, however, no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable. Cash Flows for 2022 and 2021 Operating Activities Operating Activities - For 2022, operating activities used $5.1 million compared to $7.5 million provided during 2021. Cash used in working capital was $10.6 million for 2022 compared to cash provided by working capital of $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The change is due to increased accounts receivable with decrease in inventory balances. Investing Activities - Cash used in investing activities was $52.6 million in 2022 compared to $1.1 million used in investing activities in the same period a year ago. Cash used in 2022 was primarily related to cash payments and revolving loan payoff from the Rabern acquisition of $38 million, property and equipment purchases of $16.1 million offset by $1.4 million in proceeds from the sale of the Badger facility and other equipment. Cash used in 2021 was related to cash payments for property and equipment and investment in intangible assets. Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing activities was an inflow of $45.9 million for 2022 which included an increase in borrowings on the revolving credit facility in connection with the Rabern acquisition of $41.7 million, borrowings on the term loan in connection with the Rabern acquisition of $15.0 million, working capital borrowing of $4.5 million and borrowings for insurance agreements and finance leases of $2.4 million, offset by repayment of previous revolving credit facility of $12.8 million and notes of $4.0 million. During April 2020, the Company was granted $3.7 million from a bank under the Paycheck Protection Program. During June 2021, the entire $3.7 million balance of the Company’s loan was forgiven. 21 Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and workers’ compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. The Company does not believe that these contingencies in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company. On October 19, 2022, the Company agreed to settle various claims made by Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (“Custom Truck”) in connection with the sale of our Load King business to Custom Truck in 2015. In connection with this settlement, the Company agreed to pay Custom Truck an aggregate sum of $2.9 million, payable in ten equal quarterly installments, without interest. Additionally, the Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In certain cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Company’s products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these to claims. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our equipment, parts or installation services (typically completed within one day), which occurs at a point in time. Equipment can be redirected during the manufacturing phase such that over time revenue recognition is not appropriate. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are non-cancellable, and returns are only allowed in limited instances. Value added tax and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold and do not constitute a separate performance obligation. Lifting Equipment Revenue For instances where equipment and installation services are sold together, the Company accounts for the equipment and installation services separately. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between the equipment and installation services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the equipment. In some instances, the Company fulfills its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These arrangements are considered bill-and-hold transactions. In order to recognize revenue on the bill-and-hold transactions, the Company ensures the customer has requested the arrangement, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. A portion of the transaction price is not allocated to the custodial services due to the immaterial value assigned to that performance obligation. Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and purchase orders and do not include a significant financing component. At times, the Company may offer discounts which are considered variable consideration however, the Company applies the constraint guidance when determining the transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations. Rental Revenue 22 The Company recognizes rental revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards ASC 606 (which addresses revenue from contracts with customers) and 2) ASC 842 (which addresses lease revenue). Revenue ASC 842 - Rental revenue represents revenues from renting equipment the Company owns. The Company recognizes revenue over the term that the equipment is rented, rather than when cash payments are received from the customer. Revenue is based upon the rental rate and the number of days that the equipment was rented during the period. Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the service is performed. Revenue ASC 606 - Revenue is recognized by the Company when the customer obtains control of the asset. Sale of rental equipment and merchandise supplies are recognized at the time of delivery or pickup by the customer. Inventories and Related Reserve for Obsolete and Excess Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are reduced by a reserve for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimated reserve is based upon historical experiences and/or specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceed their fair value. Under ASC 350, entities are provided with the option of first performing a qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after completing a qualitative analysis, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value a quantitative analysis is required. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information with similar economic characteristics is available and operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. The Company evaluates its consolidated goodwill by identifying potential impairment by comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using a business valuation method, which is calculated as of a measurement date by determining the present value of debt-free, after-tax projected future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. The market approach was also considered in evaluating the potential for impairment by calculating fair value based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of comparable, publicly traded companies. The Company also observed implied EBITDA multiples from relatively recent merger and acquisition activity in the industry, which was used to test the reasonableness of the results. An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any, would be recognized. The loss recognized would not exceed total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The process involves the calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the valuation indicated impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit and the subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. The determination of fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, revenue growth and operating earnings projections, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and required capital expenditure projections. In the event the Company determines that goodwill is impaired in the future the Company would need to recognize a non-cash impairment charge. 23 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. Litigation Claims. In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of legal counsel. Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and the effects of deferred taxes for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not a tax benefit will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of any net operating loss carryforwards. The Jobs Act also establishes global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions that impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company has elected to recognize GILTI as a period cost as incurred, therefore there are no deferred taxes recognized for basis differences that are expected to impact the amount of the GILTI inclusion upon reversal. ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company records interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes. Recently Issued Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance under ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for debt, leases, contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. The guidance may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company determined there was no material effect on the Company’s financial statements related to Reference Rate Reform guidance. On December 21, 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (ASU), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” that extends the sunset (or expiration) date of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. This gives reporting entities two additional years to apply the accounting relief provided under ASC Topic 848 for matters related to reference rate reform. There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet adopted by us, which are expected not to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 7A.

Opinion on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manitex International, Inc. (a Michigan corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedules included under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated March 8, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion. Basis for opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company 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. 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. Critical audit matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. As described further in Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. During the course of the year, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for two of the Company’s reporting units, Manitex and PM Group. The quantitative impairment assessment involves the comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company used a weighting of the business valuation method and market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2022 and determined there was no impairment. We identified the goodwill impairment analysis as a critical audit matter. Testing the key assumptions involved a high degree of auditor judgment due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. The principal considerations for our determination that the goodwill impairment analysis is a critical audit matter are that the fair value estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions. Our audit procedures related to the goodwill impairment analysis included the following, among others: • We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls over the Company's goodwill impairment assessment process including review of the valuation model and significant assumptions used. 26 • We tested the significant assumptions, such as forecasted revenues and operating income margins by assessing the reasonableness of management’s forecasts compared to current results and forecasted industry trends. • With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the selection of the discount rate, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations by developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the rates selected by management. • We also involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the market approach, including evaluating the reasonableness of estimated valuation multiples. • We also involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the market capitalization reconciliation and implied control premium performed by the Company. As described further in Note 22 to the financial statements, on April 11, 2022, Manitex entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rabern Rentals, LLC and Steven Berner. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern for a purchase price of approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million, subject to the various adjustments, escrows and other provisions of the Purchase Agreement. We identified the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangibles components of the business combination as a critical audit matter given the inherent judgment involved in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. Determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired required significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and the selected discount rate. The principal considerations for our determination that the business combination valuation is a critical audit matter are (1) there was a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in applying procedures relating to the fair value of assets acquired including personal property used in the business, tradenames, and customer relationships; and (2) significant audit effort was required in evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the estimates, including the income projections and discount rates. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained. Our audit procedures related to the business combination valuation included the following, among others: • We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls over the Company's business combination process including management’s controls over-estimating the value of assets acquired, and significant assumptions used. • We assessed the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results and third-party industry forecasts. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the various methodologies utilized to value the assets including (1) determining the replacement cost of the personal property with consideration of sales of comparable assets in market-based transactions, and (2) valuing customer relationships utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method. • We also involved our fair value specialists to evaluate the discount rates utilized, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018. Chicago, Illinois March 8, 2023 27 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Board of Directors and Shareholders Manitex International, Inc. Opinion on internal control over financial reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Manitex International, Inc. (a Michigan corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and our report dated March 8, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Chicago, Illinois March 8, 2023 28 MANITEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except per share data) Note 1. Nature of Operations The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and equipment rentals. Following the completion of the Rabern acquisition the Company reports in two business segments and has five operating segments, under which there are five reporting units. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries. On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Rabern Rentals, LLC (“Rabern”) and Steven Berner, as owner of 100% of Rabern’s outstanding membership interests. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern from Steven Berner for a purchase price of approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million. Rabern is a construction rental equipment provider, headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, primarily servicing business in the Texas panhandle. Lifting Equipment Segment Manitex markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes, including via its partially and wholly-owned subsidiaries and distributors, as described below. Manitex’s boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration and infrastructure development, including roads, bridges and commercial construction. The Company has integrated the Manitex and Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”) reporting units into one operating segment as a substantial portion of the sales from Badger are intercompany sales to Manitex. The Company previously announced the closing of the Badger reporting unit which is expected to be finalized in mid-2023. PM Oil and Steel S.p.A. (“PM” or “PM Group”), a subsidiary of the Company, is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck- mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes with a 50-year history of technology and innovation, and a product range spanning more than 50 models. PM is also a manufacturer of truck-mounted aerial platforms with a diverse product line and an international client base. Through its consolidated subsidiaries, PM Group has locations in Modena, Italy; Valencia, Spain; Arad, Romania; Chassieu, France; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago, Chile; Singapore and Querétaro, Mexico. The Company’s subsidiary, Manitex Valla S.r.L. (“Valla”), produces a full range of precision pick and carry industrial cranes using electric, diesel, and hybrid power options. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, and fixed or swing boom configurations, with special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers. These products are sold internationally through dealers and into the rental distribution channel. Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”) is a distributor of the Company’s products. Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. rents equipment manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties. Rental Equipment Segment The Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Rabern, rents heavy duty and light duty commercial construction equipment, mainly to commercial contractors on a short-term rental basis. The Company also rents equipment to homeowners for do-it-yourself projects. COVID-19 Pandemic We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it is impacting our customers, employees, supply chain, and distribution network, as well as the demand for our products in the industries and markets that we serve. Our first priority is the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners, and we believe that we have taken the necessary steps to keep our facilities clean and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 has had a material impact on our past financial results, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic (including the spread and impact of new COVID-19 variants) 34 and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown. The Company is continuing to experience supply chain disruptions and related logistical bottlenecks that have impacted our ability to meet strong industrial demand and have also increased costs related to shipping, warehousing and working capital management. While the Company is actively working to mitigate these expenses and the associated timing issues, certain segments – such as truck chassis – have been more impacted than others. Where appropriate and feasible, we have implemented pricing adjustments to protect margins and, in tandem, continue to build inventory to meet our customer requirements. In addition, the Company is actively managing costs and working to further streamline operations where needed. Furthermore, the Company has modified its business practices to manage expenses (including practices regarding employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences). We continue to take steps intended to minimize the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and to protect the safety of our employees and customers, but we cannot predict the duration or severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or reasonably estimate the financial impact that it will have on our results and significant estimates going forward. Note 2. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Financial statements are presented in thousands of dollars except for share and per share amounts unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The summary of significant accounting policies of Manitex International, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities purchased with maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company's U.S. banks is not fully insured by the FDIC due to the statutory limit of $250. Restricted Cash—Certain of the Company’s lending arrangements require the Company to post collateral or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These cash amounts are reported as current assets on the balance sheets based on when the cash will be contractually released. Total restricted cash was $217 and $222 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue Recognition —Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our equipment, parts or installation services (typically completed within one day). Equipment can be redirected during the manufacturing phase such that over time revenue recognition is not appropriate. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are non-cancellable and returns are only allowed in limited instances. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold and do not constitute a separate performance obligation. For instances where equipment and installation services are sold together, the Company accounts for the equipment and installation services separately. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between the equipment and installation services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the equipment. In some instances, the Company fulfills its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These arrangements are considered bill-and-hold transactions. In order to recognize revenue on the bill-and-hold transactions, the Company ensures the customer has requested the arrangement, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. A portion of the transaction price is not allocated to the custodial services due to the immaterial value assigned to that performance obligation. 35 Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and purchase orders and do not include a significant financing component. At times, the Company may offer discounts which are considered variable consideration however, the Company applies the constraint guidance when determining the transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations. Rental equipment revenue is recognized over the term of the rental contract, based on monthly, weekly or daily rental rates and the number of days the equipment is rented. The accounting for the significant types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 842 is discussed below. Rental equipment revenue represent revenues from renting equipment that the Company owns. The Company accounts for such rentals as operating leases. The Company does not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease, and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options. The Company recognizes revenues from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. The Company records any amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. The Company is unsure when the customer will return rented equipment. As such, we do not know how much the customer will owe us upon return of the equipment and cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. Our equipment is generally rented for short periods of time (significantly less than a year). Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment. The Company expects to derive significant future benefits from our equipment following the end of the rental term. Our rentals are generally short-term in nature, and our equipment is typically rented for the majority of the time that we own it. We additionally recognize revenue from sales of rental equipment when we dispose of the equipment. Included in rental equipment revenue is re-rent revenue which reflects revenues from equipment that we rent from vendors and then rent to our customers. We account for such rentals as subleases. The accounting for re-rent revenue is the same as the accounting for owned equipment rentals described above. Allowance for Credit Losses —Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. The Company has adopted a policy consistent with GAAP for the periodic review of its accounts receivable to determine whether the establishment of an allowance for credit losses is warranted based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of the accounts. The Company established an allowance for credit losses of $1,948 and $2,432 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company also has, in some instances, a security interest in its accounts receivable until payment is received. Property, Equipment and Depreciation —Property and equipment are stated at cost or the fair market value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided over the following useful lives: Asset Category Buildings Machinery and equipment Rental Equipment Furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements Motor Vehicles Computer software Depreciable Life 12 –33 years 3 – 20 years 5 - 7 years 3 – 7 years 1 – 12 years 3 – 5 years 3 – 5 years Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property, and equipment is calculated using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $6,549 and $2,061 respectively. Other Intangible Assets —The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology. Additionally, a substantial portion of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions has been assigned to patents or unpatented technology, trade name and customer relationships. Other Intangible Assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. 36 Goodwill — Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceed their fair value. Under “ASC 350”, entities are provided with the option of first performing a qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after completing a qualitative analysis, it is determined that it is more likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value a quantitative analysis is required. The Company evaluates its consolidated goodwill by identifying potential impairment by comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using a business valuation method, which is calculated as of a measurement date by determining the present value of debt-free, after-tax projected future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. The market approach was also considered in evaluating the potential for impairment by calculating fair value based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of comparable, publicly traded companies. The Company also observed implied EBITDA multiples from relatively recent merger and acquisition activity in the industry, which was used to test the reasonableness of the results. An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any, would be recognized. The loss recognized would not exceed total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2022 and determined there was no impairment. The Company recognized $1.1 million in impairment related to goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2021. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. The Company recognized a $1.0 million impairment related to patents, tradenames, customer relationships, and fixed assets for the year ended December 31, 2021. No impairment was recognized for the year ending December 31, 2022. Inventory, net —Inventory consists of merchandise, stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. The Company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves based upon specific identification and/or historical experience of excess or obsolete inventories. In valuing inventory, the Company is required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves required to value potentially obsolete or over-valued items at lower of cost or Net Realized Value (NRV). These assumptions require the Company to analyze the aging of and forecasted demand for its inventory, forecast future product sales prices, pricing trends and margins, and to make judgments and estimates regarding obsolete or excess inventory. Future product sales prices, pricing trends and margins are based on the best available information at that time including actual orders received, negotiations with the Company’s customers for future orders, including their plans for expenditures, and market trends for similar products. The Company’s judgments and estimates for excess or obsolete inventory are based on analysis of actual and forecasted usage. Accounting for Paycheck Protection Program — During April 2020, the Company entered a loan transaction pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $3.7 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying companies and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP loan was evidenced by a promissory note between the Company and CIBC. The promissory note had a two-year term, accrued interest at the rate of 1.0% per annum, and was prepayable at any time without payment of any premium. No payments of principal or interest were due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. However, at least 75 percent of the PPP loan proceeds must be used for eligible payroll costs. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulation and guidelines the SBA may adopt. 37 The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan during November 2020 and in June 2021, the Company received confirmation that the application for forgiveness of the PPP loan had been approved by the SBA. The loan forgiveness of $3.7 million was applied to the Company’s entire outstanding PPP loan balance from CIBC. The Company recorded the forgiveness as Gain on Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The gain on loan forgiveness is not subject to U.S. taxation. This deductible permanent difference is offset by a change in the U.S. valuation allowance and therefore had no impact on the effective tax rate. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions —The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the weighted-average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") as a component of shareholders’ equity. The Company converts receivables and payables denominated in other than the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The resulting transaction exchange gains or losses, except for certain transaction gains or loss related to intercompany receivable and payables, are included in other income and expense. Transaction gains and losses related to intercompany receivables and payables not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a translation adjustment (with consideration to the tax effect) to AOCI as a component of shareholders’ equity. Derivatives—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts —When the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts it does so such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities that are being hedged, which are denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency, would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge. The Company records the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the other income (expense) section on the line titled foreign currency transaction loss. Research and Development Expenses— The Company expenses research and development costs, as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, expenses were $2,989 and $3,332, respectively. Advertising —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $843 and $737 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Retirement Benefit Costs and Termination Benefits —Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Employees in Italy are entitled to Trattamento di Fine Rapporto (“TFR”), commonly referred to as an employee leaving indemnity, which represents deferred compensation for employees in the private sector. Under Italian law, an entity is obligated to accrue for TFR on an individual employee basis payable to each individual upon termination of employment (including both voluntary and involuntary dismissal). The expense is recognized in the personnel costs, either in Selling, General, and Administrative expense or Cost of Goods Sold, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accrual is recorded in other long-term liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Litigation Claims —In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of legal counsel. 38 Shipping and Handling —The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. The cost incurred for shipping and handling is included in the cost of sales. Adoption of Highly Inflationary Accounting in Argentina— GAAP guidance requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100 percent. Under highly inflationary accounting, PM Argentina’s functional currency became the Euro (its parent company’s reporting currency), and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in Euros using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of December 31, 2022, PM Argentina had an insignificant net peso monetary position. Net sales of PM Argentina were less than 5 percent of our consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and the effects of deferred taxes for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not a tax benefit will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of any net operating loss carryforwards. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for further details. The Jobs Act also establishes Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions that impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company has elected to recognize GILTI as a period cost as incurred, therefore there are no deferred taxes recognized for basis differences that are expected to impact the amount of the GILTI inclusion upon reversal. ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company records interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes. Accrued Warranties —Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized and the expense is recorded in the Statement of Operations in Cost of Sales. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued for at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued warranties were $1,916 and $1,578, respectively. Debt Issuance Costs —Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company’s financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Deferred financing costs associated with long-term debt are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discount. Sale and Leaseback —In accordance with ASC 842-10 Sales-Leaseback Transactions, the Company has recorded a deferred gain in relationship to the sale and leaseback of one of the Company’s operating facilities. As such, the gains have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight- line basis over the life of the leases. Computation of EPS —Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares related to stock options and restricted stock, included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes the theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock option exercised, and for restricted stock, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which has not yet been recognized, and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the 39 number of shares includable in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options and restricted stock is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases. Stock Based Compensation —The Company has elected to account for restricted stock awards with market conditions using a graded vesting method. This method recognizes the compensation cost in the statement of operations over the requisite service period for each separately-vesting tranche of awards. Comprehensive Income —Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to shareholder’s equity. Currently, the comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company primarily represents a foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiary. Business Combinations —The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (2) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (3) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. The Company records any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. Noncontrolling Interest A noncontrolling interest is the equity interest of consolidated entities that is not owned by the Company. Noncontrolling interest is adjusted for the noncontrolling partners' share of earnings (losses) in accordance with the applicable agreement. Earnings allocated to such noncontrolling partners are recorded as income applicable to noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial recognition of the noncontrolling interest was attributed at the fair market value. Note 4.

In instances where an upfront deposit has been received by the Company and the revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the Company records a contract liability in the form of a customer deposit, which is classified as a short-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. That customer deposit is revenue that is deferred until the revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time, the customer deposit is recognized into revenue. The following table summarizes changes in customer deposits for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: Customer deposits at January 1, Additional customer deposits received where revenue has not yet been recognized Revenue recognized from customer deposits Effect of change in exchange rates Customer deposits at December 31, $ $ 2022 2021 7,121 $ 2,363 13,073 (16,372) (415) 3,407 $ 11,447 (6,446) (243) 7,121 Note 5.

Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value by level with the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Except as noted the below assets and liabilities are valued at fair market on a recurring basis. 41 The following is a summary of items that the Company measured at fair value during the periods: Asset: Forward currency exchange contracts Total current assets at fair value Asset: Forward currency exchange contracts Total current assets at fair value Liabilities: Valla contingent consideration Total liabilities at fair value Liabilities: Balance at January 1, 2022 Change in contingent liability consideration Effect of change in exchange rates Balance at December 31, 2022 Fair Value at December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total — $ — $ 124 124 $ $ — $ — $ Fair Value at December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total — $ — $ — $ — $ 75 75 $ $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 207 207 $ $ 124 124 75 75 207 207 $ $ $ $ $ $ Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (level 3) Valla Contingent Consideration $ $ 207 (202) (5) — The Company has qualitatively evaluated the Valla contingent liability from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short- term variable debt, insurance financing and any amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facilities and working capital borrowing, approximate fair value due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding. The book and fair value of the Company’s term debt was $24,424 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and $12,530 for the year ending December 31, 2021. The book and fair value of the Company’s finance leases were $3,891 and $4,518 for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively and $4,221 and $5,044 for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. There is no difference between the book value and the fair value for amount recorded in connection with the liability recorded for a long-term legal settlement, which was $586 and $687 for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) Fair value of the forward currency contracts is determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items. 42 Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company’s risk management objective is to use the most efficient and effective methods available to us to minimize, eliminate, reduce or transfer the risks which are associated with fluctuation of exchange rates between the Euro, Chilean Peso and the U.S. Dollar. Forward Currency Contracts The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the other income (expense) section on the line titled foreign currency transaction loss. Items denominated in other than a reporting unit functional currency include certain intercompany receivables due from the Company’s Italian subsidiaries and accounts receivable and accounts payable of our Italian subsidiaries and their subsidiaries. PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At December 31, 2022 the Company had entered into a forward currency exchange contracts that matured on January 31, 2023. Under the contract the Company was obligated to sell 2,400,000 Chilean Pesos for 2,513 Euros. The purpose of the forward contract is to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean Peso. The following table provides the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments that are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: Total derivatives not designated as a hedge instrument Asset Derivatives Foreign currency exchange contracts Total derivative assets Balance Sheet Location Prepaid expense and other Fair Value As of December 31, 2021 2022 $ $ 124 $ 124 $ 75 75 The following tables provide the effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2022 and 2021: Derivatives not designated as Hedge Instrument Forward currency contracts Total derivatives gain (loss) Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Statement of Operations Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) Years ended December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ (132) $ (132) $ 278 278 During 2022 and 2021, there were no forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As such, all gains and loss related to forward currency contracts during 2022 and 2021 were recorded in current earnings and did not impact other comprehensive income. 43 Note 8.

The valuation analysis performed indicated that each reporting unit had an estimated fair value which exceeded its respective carrying amount and therefore, no impairment was recognized at December 31, 2022. While there was no goodwill impairment recognized as a result of the 2022 annual impairment test, a reasonably possible unexpected deterioration in financial performance or adverse change in earnings may result in an impairment in future periods. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2021. The valuation analysis performed identified an impairment of goodwill. As the fair value was less than its carrying value, the Company recorded an impairment charge on its Valla reporting unit of $1.1 million. The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. Based on the quantitative assessment performed, Valla’s carrying value of intangible assets was not supported by the enterprise value of the business driven by the cash flows of the business and as such the intangible assets were fully impaired as of December 31, 2021. An impairment charge to intangible assets was recorded at our Valla reporting unit in the amount of $0.5 million. In addition, the Company’s restructuring plan resulted in an impairment charge to intangible assets at Badger for $0.4 million. Note 11.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $40,000 revolving credit facility, a $30,000 revolving credit facility and a $15,000 term loan. Borrowings under the $40,000 revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The $40,000 revolving credit facility requires monthly interest payments with the full principal balance coming due at maturity. The facility matures on April 11, 2024 with a rolling two-year maturity extension to April 11, 2026 providing there is no event of default. The rolling two- year maturity repeats on April 11 each year following 2024. On January 25, 2023, the maturity date was extended to April 11, 2025. Borrowings under the $30,000 revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The $30,000 facility requires quarterly interest payments and principal payments in the amount of 3% of the outstanding balance thereunder on a quarterly basis beginning on January 1, 2023. The facility originally provided for maturity on April 11, 2024. On January 25, 2023, the maturity date was extended to April 11, 2025. Note Payable Long Term The term loan requires monthly interest payments at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5% beginning on May 11, 2022. Monthly installments of principal and interest based on an 84-month amortization are payable beginning on November 11, 2022 with the remaining principal balance coming due at maturity of October 11, 2029. The unused balance of the revolving credit facilities incurs a 0.125% fee that is payable semi-annually. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $41,521 in borrowings under the revolving credit facilities and $14,721 in borrowings under the term loan. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00 measured on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning June 30, 2022, and each measurement is based on a rolling 12-month basis. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a U.S. net worth of at least $80,000, measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning June 30, 2022. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022. CIBC Loan Agreement Payoff The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries were parties to a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”) with CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). The Loan Agreement provided a revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2023 in an aggregate amount of $30 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $12.8 million in borrowings (less $0.1 million in debt issuance cost for a net debt of $12.7 million). The indebtedness under the Loan Agreement was collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for certain assets of the Company’s subsidiaries. On April 11, 2022, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness and other amounts outstanding of approximately $12.8 million and terminated all commitments and obligations under the Loan Agreement with CIBC in satisfaction of all of the Company’s debt obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Company was not required to pay any pre-payment premiums as a result of the repayment of indebtedness under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the repayment of such outstanding indebtedness by the Company, all security interests, mortgages, liens and encumbrances granted to the lenders under the Loan Agreement were terminated and released. PM Group Short-Term Working Capital Borrowings - At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, PM Group had established demand credit and overdraft facilities with five banks in Italy, one bank in Spain, twelve banks in South America and one bank in Romania.

Note 13. Leases The Company leases certain warehouses, office space, machinery, vehicles, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company is not aware of any variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, covenants or restrictions imposed by the leases. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets is limited by the expected lease term for finance leases. 48 If there was a rate explicit in the lease, this was the discount rate used. For those leases with no explicit or implicit interest rate, an incremental borrowing rate was used. The weighted average remaining useful life for operating and finance leases were 4 and 5 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate for operating and finance leases was 5.0% and 12.4% respectively.

Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Options to extend the lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company also has production equipment, office equipment and vehicles under operating leases. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably 49 certain of exercise. Certain leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantee or material restrictive covenants. In connection with our acquisition of Rabern, the Company became the lessee of four locations from HTS Management LLC (“HTS”), an entity controlled by Steven Berner, who is a key member of Rabern management. HTS operates as a holding company for property and as a single lessor leasing company for business use property for Rabern. HTS’s ongoing activities preceding and succeeding the Rabern acquisition relate to financing, purchasing, leasing and holding property leased to Rabern. Note 14. Income Taxes Information pertaining to the Company’s (loss) income before income taxes is as follows: (Loss) income before income taxes: Domestic Foreign Total net (loss) income before income taxes Information pertaining to the Company’s provision for income taxes is as follows: Expense (benefit) for income taxes: Current: Federal State and local Foreign Deferred: Federal State and local Foreign Total expense for income taxes Years ended December 31, 2021 2022 (2,100) $ (84) (2,184) $ (5,467) 2,111 (3,356) Years ended December 31, 2021 2022 1 (1) 918 918 490 (343) 1,049 1,196 2,114 $ $ (4) (58) 1,330 1,268 — 52 (103) (51) 1,217 $ $ $ $ 50 Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Accrued expenses Inventory Other liabilities Deferred gain Net operating loss carryforwards Tax credit carryforwards Capital loss carryforwards Legal settlements Research & development Unrealized foreign currency loss Interest expense Property, plant and equipment Total deferred tax asset Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment Intangibles Deferred State Income Tax Debt Investments Total deferred tax liability Valuation allowance Net deferred tax (liability) asset Year ended December 31, 2022 2021 1,176 $ 1,706 1,806 95 6,764 1,328 — 581 115 50 2,440 — 16,061 190 1,673 329 2,135 5,495 9,822 (10,938) (4,699) $ 669 2,337 1,696 118 6,385 1,395 233 — — 70 2,888 6 15,797 — 2,432 386 2,199 — 5,017 (11,676) (896) $ $ In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating losses can be utilized. The Company assesses all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, the Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not realizable, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. Any further increases or decreases in the valuation allowance could have an unfavorable or favorable impact on the Company’s income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made. The Company’s assertion to indefinitely reinvest its foreign earnings remains unchanged despite the US taxation of its undistributed foreign earnings and new tax law, which includes a 100% dividend received deduction. This means that future distributions of foreign earnings will generally not be taxable in the US. However, upon remittance of these earnings, the Company would be subject to withholding tax, US tax on foreign currency gains and losses related to previously taxed earnings, and some state income tax. It is not practicable to estimate the tax impact of the reversal of the outside basis difference, or the repatriation of cash due to the complexity associated with these calculations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $14.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward and the majority of the foreign loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period. The Company has state net operating losses of approximately $0.7 million that are set to expire at varying periods between 2027 and 2043 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a Texas Margin Tax Credit of $0.9 million and U.S. federal R&D credits of $0.1 million that may be utilized through 2026 and 2037, respectively. 51 The effective tax rate for income taxes varies from the current U.S. federal statutory income tax rate as follows: Statutory rate State and local taxes Permanent differences Tax credits Foreign operations Uncertain tax positions Valuation allowance Other Years ended December 31, 2022 2021 21.0% (1.4)% (46.3)% (16.1)% (19.8)% (61.3)% 41.1% (14.0)% (96.8)% 21.0% (1.2)% 8.8% 0.0% (3.3)% 7.3% (59.1)% (9.8)% (36.3)% A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, is as follows: Balance at January 1, (Decreases) increases in tax positions for prior years (Decrease) increases in tax positions for current years Other Lapse in statute of limitations Settlements Balance at December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 3,028 $ 151 25 (149) (125) — 2,930 $ 3,546 — 123 (14) (515) (112) 3,028 Of the amounts reflected in the above table at December 31, 2022, approximately $2.4 million would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate if recognized. This amount considers the indirect effects of offsetting tax positions in different jurisdictions. The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, interest and penalties recognized on unrecognized tax expense (benefits) were $146 and $(187), respectively. The accrued balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $455 and $309, respectively. On October 25, 2022, the Romania Supreme Court rendered a final verdict in favor of the Company reducing the amount of the tax assessment in connection with the income tax audit for tax years 2012-2016. In addition, the Romania Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for a mutual agreement procedure (MAP) declaring the Company will need to file a unilateral petition with Italy. The Romania Supreme Court’s ruling is unprecedented as it amounts to amending the bilateral MAP petition with Italy to a unilateral petition. Although the Company intends to pursue a unilateral petition, based on the change in facts and circumstances, the Company determined it can no longer recognize a tax asset or benefit for relief from double taxation in Italy, and recognized a net income tax expense of approximately $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the reduction in the Romania income tax assessment is offset by an increase in unrecognized tax benefits related to the unilateral petition with Italy and for other foreign net operating losses which may yield a tax benefit in a future reporting period. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Italy, Romania, Argentina, and Chile as well as various state and local tax jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by the tax authorities for U.S. federal or state for the years before 2019, or foreign examinations for years before 2016. 52 Note 15. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures Supplemental cash flow disclosures included during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Interest received in cash Interest paid in cash Income tax payments in cash Recognition of right-of-use asset and right-of-use liability Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to consolidated balance sheets: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of year 2022 2021 2 4,270 1,349 2,728 7,973 217 8,190 $ $ $ 43 2,148 1,342 - 21,359 222 21,581 $ $ $ Note 16. Employee Benefits U.S. Plan The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan. The plan is intended to cover all non-union United States based employees. The plan is open to employees 21 years of age and older. There is no minimum employment duration required before eligibility. The plan allows for monthly enrollment and contribution changes. The Company currently matches dollar for dollar participants’ contributions up to 3% of the participants’ gross income and a 50% match on the next 2% of gross income. There is no dollar limit regarding matched funds and the plan also calls for immediate vesting of the employer contribution component. The amounts paid in matching contributions by the company for 2022 and 2021 were $306 and $319, respectively. Non-U.S. Plan Employees in Italy are entitled to Trattamento di Fine Rapporto (“TFR”), commonly referred to as an employee leaving indemnity, which represents deferred compensation for employees in the private sector. Under Italian law, an entity is obligated to accrue for TFR on an individual employee basis payable to each individual upon termination of employment (including both voluntary and involuntary dismissal). The annual accrual is approximately 7% of total pay, with no ceiling, and is revalued each year by applying a pre-established rate of return of 1.50%, plus 75% of the Consumer Price Index, and is recorded by a book reserve. TFR is an unfunded plan. The accrued employee severance indemnity must be transferred to the Fund for the payment of severance pay to employees in the private sector, managed by the INPS (the National Social Contributions Authority), on behalf of the State, on a special account opened at the State Treasury. In this case the workers continue to have as their sole interlocutor the employer, who will provide monthly payment of the amount due (together with the social contributions due to INPS). In this situation, the Company will pay the severance to the employees leaving and then those amounts will be compensated by the payments to be made in favor of INPS. The amount paid by the Company for 2022 and 2021 was $552 and $385, respectively. The amounts allocated to the employee severance indemnity provision in 2022 and 2021 was $909 and $810, respectively. Note 17. Accrued Warranties A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued for at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience which is reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability. The following table summarizes the changes in product warranty liability: 53 Balance January 1, Provision for warranties issued during the year Warranty services provided Foreign currency translation Balance December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 1,578 $ 2,199 (1,832) (29) 1,916 $ 1,292 3,625 (3,293) (46) 1,578 Note 18. Equity Stock issued to employees and Directors The Company issued shares of common stock to employees and Directors at various times in 2022 and 2021 as restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 and 2019 Incentive Plan. Upon issuance entries were recorded to increase common stock and decrease paid in capital for the amounts shown below.

The stock was purchased from the employees to satisfy employees’ withholding tax obligations related to stock issuances described above. The following is a summary of common stock purchased during 2022 and 2021: Date of Purchase March 6, 2022 March 8, 2022 March 13, 2022 April 11, 2022 July 5, 2022 December 10, 2022 March 6, 2021 March 8, 2021 March 13, 2021 December 10, 2021 Shares Purchased Closing Price on Date of Purchase $ $ 6,035 7,395 3,924 12,300 4,725 656 35,035 2,779 692 2,712 1,124 7,307 8.06 7.82 7.71 7.39 6.27 4.49 7.43 7.73 8.29 6.99 Manitex International, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan The total number of shares reserved for issuance is 779,717 shares however, this can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not our employees or employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the plan. This plan is administered by a committee of the board comprised of members who are outside directors. The plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and number of awards, determine award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, except outside Directors may not be granted stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units. During any calendar year, participants are limited in the number of grants they may receive under the plan. In any year, an individual may not receive options for more than 15,000 shares, stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 20,000 shares, more than 20,000 shares of restricted stock and/or an award for more than 10,000 performance shares or restricted stock units or performance units. The plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant. Restricted Stock Awards The Company awarded a total of 226,000 and 177,800 restricted stock units to employees and directors during 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards made in 2022 was $7.21 per share, compared to $7.48 at 2021. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied. 55 The following is a summary of restricted stock units that were awarded during 2022 and 2021: 2022 Grants May 3, 2022 June 2, 2022 June 2, 2022 July 1, 2022 Vesting Date April 11, 2023 33,000 units; April 11, 2024 33,000 units; April 11, 2024 34,000 units June 2, 2022 18,000 units; June 2, 2023 18,000 units; June 2, 2024 18,000 units June 2, 2023 13,200 units; June 2, 2024 13,200 units; June 2, 2025 13,600 units July 1, 2023 10,560 units; July 1, 2024 10,560 units; July 1, 2025 10,800 units 2021 Grants March 8, 2021 March 8, 2021 June 3, 2021 November 23, 2021 December 31, 2021 Vesting Date March 8, 2021 12,000 units; March 8, 2022 12,000 units; March 8, 2023 12,000 units March 8, 2021 2,000 units; March 8, 2022, 30,294 March 8, 2023 30,294 units; March 8, 2024 31,212 units June 3, 2021 5,940 units; June 3, 2022 5,940 units; June 3, 2023 6,120 units November 23, 2022 6,600 units; November 23, 2023 6,600 units; November 23, 2024 6,800 units December 31, 2022 3,300 units; December 31, 2023 3,300 units; December 31, 2024 3,400 units Number of Restricted Stock Units 100,000 54,000 40,000 32,000 226,000 Closing Price on Date of Grant Value of Restricted Stock Units Issued $ $ $ $ 7.60 7.07 7.07 6.39 $ $ $ $ $ 760 382 283 204 1,629 Number of Restricted Stock Units Closing Price on Date of Grant Value of Restricted Stock Units Issued $ $ $ $ $ 36,000 93,800 18,000 20,000 10,000 177,800 7.73 7.73 7.29 6.60 6.36 $ $ $ $ $ $ 278 725 131 132 64 1,330 The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively: Outstanding on January 1, Units granted during period Vested and issued Vested—issued and repurchased for income tax withholding Forfeited Outstanding on December 31 Restricted Stock Units 2021 2022 242,586 286,227 177,800 226,000 (119,397) (166,527) (7,307) (35,035) (7,455) (21,761) 286,227 288,904 The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense in 2022 and 2021 includes $1,254 and $1,025 related to restricted stock units, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock units granted will be $769, $509 and $158 for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Restricted Stock Award with Market Conditions 56 On May 3, 2022, in connection with J. Michael Coffey’s appointment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of April 11, 2022, he was granted 490,000 restricted stock units that vest upon attainment of certain stock price hurdles of the Company’s stock. The restricted stock units can only be received on an annual basis from the vesting start date. The fair value of the market conditions awards was $2.2 million calculated by using the Monte Carlo Simulation based on the average of 20,000 simulation runs. The requisite service period used was three years, expected volatility was 60% and the risk-free rate of return was 2.95%. The value of the market condition awards granted to Mr. Coffey is being charged to compensation expense over the requisite service period. Compensation cost for the award of share-based compensation is recognized over the derived service periods (the time from the service inception date to the expected date of satisfaction) of either 12 or 24 months depending on the particular tranche based on the median number of days it takes for the award to vest in scenarios where they meet their threshold. Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $906 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additional compensation expense related to Mr. Coffey’s restricted stock units will be $990 and $269 for 2023 and 2024, respectively. Restricted Stock Award with Market and Performance Conditions On May 3, 2022, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Coffey was also granted 100,000 restricted stock units that vest upon a change in control in which the per share consideration for the Company’s common stock exceeds $10.00. The fair value of the market and performance conditions award was $481, calculated by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The requisite service period used for the calculation was three years, expected volatility was 60% and the risk-free rate of return was 2.95%. The fair value of stock-based compensation for market and performance conditions will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements only if it is probable that the conditions will be satisfied. Stock Options On May 3, 2022, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Coffey was also granted 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.13 per share. The options vest ratably on each of the first three anniversary dates of Mr. Coffey’s appointment date, subject to his continued service with the Company on each vesting date. Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options was $185 and $31 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to Mr. Coffey’s options will be $159, $67 and $13 for the remainder of 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Transactions between the Company and Related Parties In the course of conducting its business, the Company has entered into certain related party transactions. C&M conducts business with RAM P&E LLC for the purposes of obtaining parts business as well as buying, selling and renting equipment. In 2022, less than $0.1 million was invoiced by Crane and Machinery, Inc. through government parts contracts awarded to RAM P&E LLC. C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. As such, C&M purchases cranes and parts from Terex. PM is a manufacturer of cranes. PM sold cranes, parts, and accessories to Tadano Ltd. during 2022 and 2021. Rabern rents heavy duty and light duty commercial construction equipment, mainly to commercial contractors on a short-term rental basis. Rabern sold a fixed asset to Steven Berner, the President of Rabern in April 2022, in connection with the Rabern acquisition. In 2022, the Company became the lessee of four buildings from HTS Management LLC (“HTS”), an entity controlled by Mr. Berner, who is a key member of Rabern management. HTS operates as a holding company for property and as a single lessee leasing company for business use property for Rabern. HTS’s ongoing activities preceding and succeeding the Rabern acquisition relate to financing, purchasing, leasing and holding property leased to Rabern. Based on these activities, HTS would be subject to interest rate risk and real estate investment pricing risk related to holding the real estate as an investment. These risks represent the potential variability to be considered as passed to interest holders. Although we have a variable interest through our relationship with Mr. Berner, such variability is not passed on to Rabern in connection with the arrangement, and therefore Rabern is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. 57 Furthermore, all risks and benefits of the significant activities of HTS are passed to Mr. Berner directly and do not represent a direct or an indirect obligation for Rabern. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had accounts payable with related parties as shown below: Terex Tadano December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ $ $ 60 — 60 60 $ $ $ 23 180 203 203 The following is a summary of the amounts attributable to certain related party transactions as described in the footnotes to the table, for the years ended December 31: Rent Paid Sales to: Total Sales Inventory Purchases from: Total Inventory Purchases Rabern Facility $ 463 $ 2022 2021 Tadano (2) Terex (1) RAM P&E (3) Steven Berner (4) Tadano (2) Terex (1) $ $ 45 166 37 80 328 225 291 516 $ $ - 167 43 122 — 332 303 403 706 (1) (2) (3) (4) Terex is a significant shareholder of the Company and conducts business with the Company in the ordinary course of business. Tadano is a significant shareholder of the Company and conducts business with the Company in the ordinary course of business. RAM P&E is owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman’s daughter. The Company sold an automobile to Steven Berner, the President of Rabern, for approximately $80 in April 2022, in connection with the Rabern acquisition. Note 20. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, employment related issues, and workers’ compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self- insurance retention that range from $50 to $500. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company for these cases. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In the remaining cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Company’s products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these claims. On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a remaining obligation under these agreements to pay the plaintiffs $855 without interest in 9 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of each year. The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over the payment period. 58 It is reasonably possible that the estimated reserve for product liability claims may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company. Legal Settlement On October 19, 2022, the Company agreed to settle various claims made by Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (“Custom Truck”) in connection with the sale of our Load King business to Custom Truck in 2015. In connection with this settlement, the Company agreed to pay Custom Truck an aggregate sum of $2.9 million, payable in ten equal quarterly installments, without interest. Romania Income Tax Audit On October 25, 2022, the Romania Supreme Court rendered a final verdict in favor of the Company reducing the amount of the tax assessment in connection with the income tax audit for tax years 2012-2016. In addition, the Romania Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for a mutual agreement procedure (MAP) declaring the Company will need to file a unilateral petition with Italy. Note 21. Segment Information The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, for making decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and equipment rentals. The Company operates in two business segments: the Lifting Equipment segment and the Rental Equipment segment. Lifting Equipment Segment The Lifting Equipment segment is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions.

Business Combination On April 11, 2022, Manitex entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rabern and Steven Berner. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern for approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million, subject to the various adjustments, escrows and other provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The Rabern acquisition closed on April 11, 2022. A total of $1.5 million of the purchase price was held in escrow for various purposes, as described in the Purchase Agreement. Rabern is a construction equipment rental provider established in 1984 and primarily serves Northern Texas. The president and founder of Rabern, Steven Berner, retained a 30% ownership interest and continues to run the operation as a stand-alone division of the Company. The purchase price is subject to adjustments based on the final calculation of working capital and the net book value of the rental fleet as of the date of the acquisition. The Company financed the acquisition by borrowings on the Company’s line of credit and a term loan. The acquisition of Rabern was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred at the acquisition date was $40.5 million. Adjustments to the valuation of Rabern’s assets and liabilities may be materially different due to possible changes as the purchase price allocation is completed. The financial results of Rabern beginning on April 11, 2022 are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements and are reported in the Rental Equipment segment for the period ended December 31, 2022. The amount of revenue and income from operations 60 associated with the Rabern acquisition from the acquisition date to December 31, 2022 are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations for the Rabern acquisition as of December 31, 2022: Total purchase consideration: Consideration Revolving loan payoff Net purchase consideration Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash Net working capital Other current assets Fixed assets Customer relationships Trade name and trademarks Goodwill Deferred tax liability Other current liabilities Total fair value of assets acquired Less: noncontrolling interests, net of taxes Net assets acquired $ 25,900 14,604 40,504 2,975 2,886 419 27,658 4,500 1,200 12,850 (2,521) (500) 49,467 8,963 40,504 The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the relief from royalty approach and multi-period excess earnings method for trademarks and customer relationships, respectively. Fixed asset values were estimated using either the cost or market approach. Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The Rabern acquisition was structured as a taxable purchase of 70% of a partnership interest whereby Manitex and Mr. Berner subsequently contributed their respective membership interests in Rabern to a newly formed Delaware corporation. The partnership will make an IRC Section 754 Election which will give Manitex Section 743(b) step-up in the tax basis in the partnership assets for its acquired membership interest. The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of Rabern as though the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2021. The pro forma amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2021 or of future consolidated operating results.

As part of the Restructuring, the Company intends to move the manufacturing of its straight mast boom cranes and aerial platforms produced in Winona, Minnesota, to its Georgetown, Texas, facility. The Restructuring is expected to be completed during 2023. The following is a summary of the Company's restructuring activities as of December 31, 2022: Balance at beginning of period Restructuring expense Balance at end of period For the Year Ended December 31 2022 $ $ — 61 61 As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $0.1 million classified as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts relate to machinery & equipment in Winona, Minnesota, that are held for sale in connection with the Restructuring. The land and building were sold during April 2022 for approximately $1.8 million. The Company recorded a one-time pre-tax charge of $3.6 million related to inventory write-downs, impairment of fixed assets, and impairment of intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2021. Note 25. Subsequent Events On January 25, 2023, the maturity date for both the Company's $40 million and $30 million revolving credit facilities were extended to April 11, 2025. The facilities originally provided for a maturity on April 11, 2024. 62 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) and under the supervision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2022, were effective and provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that we maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). During the fourth quarter of 2022 , the Company made no changes that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
