(4) Cash Flow before Financing Activities is equal to net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used for investing activities.
(5) Adjusted EBITDA is provided solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to operating results. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income, as
defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or net loss, or as an indicator of our operating performance. NACCO
defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before discontinued operations, long-lived asset and goodwill impairment charges and income taxes plus net interest
expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable
with similarly titled measures of other companies. 

(6) Includes employees of Weston Brands starting in 2014, Centennial from 2012 to 2014 and the unconsolidated mines for all years presented. Excludes

employees of Hyster-Yale for all years presented.

Discussion of 2016 Results

NACCO Industries, Inc. had a solid 2016. Consolidated results showed a substantial

improvement over 2015 primarily driven by strong results at the Company’s Hamilton Beach

Brands subsidiary. NACCO operates through three separate subsidiaries in the mining, small

appliances and specialty retail industries. 

NACCO’s largest subsidiary, North American Coal (“NACoal”), performed as expected in

2016. While revenues decreased due largely to the cessation of coal production at Centennial 

at the end of 2015, net income improved to $8.2 million from $5.6 million in 2015. Both 2016

and 2015 were unfavorably affected by substantial charges and operating losses at NACoal’s

Centennial operations.

Excluding Centennial, NACoal reported adjusted income of $25.4 million in 2016 compared

with adjusted income of $27.3 million in 2015. “Adjusted income” refers to net income adjusted

to exclude Centennial. (For reconciliations from GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP results,

see page 14.)

NACoal’s 2016 adjusted income benefited from a full year of deliveries at Camino Real,

commencement of production in May 2016 at Coyote Creek and improved operating results at

its limerock operations from a substantial increase in customer deliveries. In addition, Liberty

Fuels began delivering coal to its customer for facility testing and commissioning in July 2016.

These benefits were more than offset by a decrease in operating results from lower coal sales

pricing, as expected, and a reduction in tons sold at Mississippi Lignite Mining Company, as well

as higher operating expenses and reduced royalty and other income.

The Company’s Hamilton Beach Brands (“HBB”) subsidiary had an outstanding year. HBB’s

2016 net income increased substantially to $26.6 million from $19.7 million primarily as a result

of a shift in sales mix to higher-priced and higher-margin products, along with benefits from

lower costs. This improvement was partly offset by reduced sales volumes — the primary

driver of the decrease in HBB’s revenues. 

A shift in consumer shopping patterns has continued to challenge the retail industry.

Despite this, the small loss position of Kitchen Collection, the Company’s retail subsidiary, held

steady in 2016. Kitchen Collection was successful in improving its gross margins, average sales

transaction value and transaction closure rates while it continued to close unprofitable stores

throughout the year. Kitchen Collection’s revenues declined as a result of store closures and 

it reported a small net loss of $0.4 million in both 2016 and 2015.

Overall, 2016 consolidated net income improved to $29.6 million, or $4.32 per diluted

share, from $22.0 million, or $3.13 per diluted share in 2015. Consolidated revenues were

$856.4 million in 2016 compared with $915.9 million in 2015. Consolidated adjusted income

for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $46.8 million, or $6.82 per diluted share, compared

with adjusted income in 2015 of $43.7 million, or $6.22 per diluted share.

North American Coal

North American Coal’s (NACoal) mines operate

under contracts to supply coal to an individual

customer’s power plant or coal processing facility

for a long period of time, typically for decades.

The mines and the customer facilities are in close

proximity, often adjacent to one another. NACoal

also provides value-added services, such as

maintaining and operating draglines for independ-

ently owned limerock quarries through its North

American Mining division, operating and main-

taining a coal-processing system for a customer’s

power plant and providing ash-hauling services

for power plants and other facilities. 

Unconsolidated Mines

NACoal employs a business model that 

differs from most other mining industry partici-

pants. All but one of NACoal’s contracts include

“cost-plus” pricing terms under which NACoal’s

compensation includes reimbursement of all 

operating costs, plus a comparatively small but

consistent amount of fees on each ton of coal or

heating unit (btu) delivered. The company refers

to these cost-plus mines as “unconsolidated

mines” because they are not consolidated in the

Company’s financial statements. The pre-tax 

profits generated from these mines are shown

separately in the Company’s income statement 

as “Earnings of unconsolidated mines.” 

Each cost-plus contract specifies the indices

and mechanics by which agreed profits change

over time, generally in line with broad measures

of U.S. inflation rates. Financing for these mines 

is supported by, or in some instances actually

provided by, NACoal’s customers to minimize costs

and is without recourse to NACoal or NACCO. 

NACoal took over operations of a mine for

the Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC)

on January 1, 2017. Under this agreement NACoal,

through its wholly owned subsidiary, Bisti Fuels, 

acts as NTEC’s contract miner at NTEC’s Navajo
Mine, a surface coal mine located within the
Navajo Nation near Fruitland, New Mexico. Similar
to most of NACoal’s other mining agreements, the
agreement with NTEC is a cost-plus arrangement,
under which NTEC reimburses Bisti’s operating
costs, provides the capital required for the mine
and pays NACoal an agreed fee per btu of heating
value delivered. NTEC delivers that coal to the
third-party owners of the nearby Four Corners
Generating Station. Production is anticipated to
be 5 million to 6 million tons of coal per year when
the Four Corners Generating Station is operating
at anticipated levels.

NACoal and its customers strongly believe
that the structure of these long-term contracts
fully aligns long-term interests of the mine and
the customer in a way that assures low customer
costs over the long term. NACoal’s analysis of
historical data indicates that the power plants
served by NACoal are lower-cost producers of
electricity on their respective grids.

Consolidated Mines

NACoal has two consolidated mines, one

active and one inactive. The Company refers to
these mines as “consolidated mines” because
their results are consolidated in the Company’s
financial statements. NACoal’s active coal mine,
Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (MLMC),
operates pursuant to a more traditional business
model in which NACoal pays all operating costs
and provides the capital for the mine. 

MLMC delivers coal to a single power plant
adjacent to the mine. MLMC’s coal sales price is
not subject to spot coal market fluctuations, as 
its customer pays a contractually agreed-upon
price which adjusts monthly, primarily based on
changes in the level of established indices, which
reflect general U.S. inflation rates, including cost
components such as labor and diesel fuel. MLMC’s
contract with its customer expires in 2032.

6

American Mining. North American Mining’s
compensation includes reimbursement for 
all costs, plus an agreed profit on cubic yards
excavated or limerock delivered. During 2016,
NACoal expanded the geographic scope of a
cost-plus agreement with an existing customer
to cover new quarries in Central Florida and
extended this contract through 2023. In addition,
during the fourth quarter of 2016, NACoal began
operating and maintaining draglines for a new
customer in Central Florida under a cost-plus
arrangement. 

NACoal also provides coal handling, pro-
cessing and drying services for a number of 
customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services,
LLC operates and maintains a coal processing
system for a power plant customer pursuant 
to a cost-plus arrangement. 

North American Coal Royalty Company, a
consolidated entity, provides surface and mineral
acquisition and lease maintenance services
related to NACoal’s operations.

Safety and Environmental Excellence 

NACoal consistently ranks among the safest

and most environmentally responsible coal mining
companies in the country. The National Mining
Association ranked NACoal among the safest coal
mining companies in the United States based 
on 2016 Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) incident rates. Safety is at the very core of
NACoal’s culture, embedded deeply in employee
training programs, operating procedures and best
practices shared among all of NACoal’s operations.
NACoal’s permitting, mining and reclamation
activities utilize state-of-the-art technology and a
commitment to excellence to ensure that activities
comply with, or exceed, legal requirements. Work
on mine sites is performed with the greatest 
degree of care to ensure that land is returned to 
a productive natural state. Frequently, NACoal
employees and their families are farmers, ranchers

A dragline operated and maintained by NACoal’s
North American Mining division excavates lime-
rock from a quarry in Florida. North American
Mining expanded its Florida dragline services
business in 2016 by extending an existing contract
and entering into a contract with a new customer.

NACoal ceased coal production at its Alabama
mining operation, Centennial Natural Resources, at
the end of 2015. The cessation of coal production
at Centennial eliminated NACoal’s only direct 
exposure to coal market price volatility. Centennial
continues to evaluate strategies to maximize
cash flow, including through the sale of mineral
reserves and equipment. Most of the equipment
and parts inventory utilized at Centennial were
sold in 2016. Cash expenditures related to mine
reclamation at Centennial will continue until 
reclamation is complete, or ownership of, or
responsibility for, the mines is transferred. NACoal
is also evaluating a range of strategies for its 
Alabama mineral reserves, including holding 
reserves with substantial unmined coal tons 
for sale or contract mining when conditions in 
Alabama and global coal markets improve. 

Value-added Services

NACoal’s “cost-plus” business model also
applies to its value-added service operations.
NACoal maintains and operates draglines for
extraction of limerock at independently owned
limerock quarries. This business is operated as
a division of NACoal, and is referred to as North

and outdoor enthusiasts who live near mining
areas. They care deeply about the land, water and
wildlife where they live, and are excellent stewards.

As evidence of this corporate and individual

commitment to the environment, NACoal’s 
Freedom Mine was recognized by the North
Dakota Public Service Commission with its 2016
Excellence in Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation
Award. The Freedom Mine completed land recla-
mation ahead of schedule and far in advance 
of regulatory requirements.

Strategic Initiatives and Long-term View
NACoal’s unconsolidated operations, which

constitute a large majority of its earnings and
cash flow capabilities, provide a strong core that 
is central to NACoal’s business model. NACoal 
has been very fortunate to enter into cost-plus
agreements with eight new customers since 2009
to develop or operate new mines, or provide
value-added services to customers. Coyote Creek
began delivering coal to its customer in mid-2016,
Liberty Fuels’ customer began accepting deliveries
during the second half of 2016 for startup and
testing at its facility, and Bisti Fuels’ customer
began accepting deliveries on January 1, 2017.
Since 2009, NACoal has also successfully extended
a number of key mining contracts with existing
customers. NACoal expects to continue to be a
low-cost miner of coal for delivery to its customers.

Profitability at MLMC, NACoal’s only operat-

ing consolidated coal mine, is affected by its 

customer’s demand for coal, changes in the 

indices that determine MLMC’s index-based

sales price and actual costs incurred. As diesel

fuel is heavily weighted among the indices used

Bisti Fuels Company severed its first coal 
at the Navajo Mine for its customer, Navajo 
Transitional Energy Company, on January 1, 2017.
The Navajo Mine is located within the 
Navajo Nation in New Mexico.

from the 2012 level of $45.2 million through 
the development and maturation of its newer
operations and normal escalation of contractual
compensation at its existing operations. Income
related to NACoal’s newer mines, including the
income from commencement of production at
Bisti Fuels and increased deliveries at Liberty
Fuels, is expected to advance progress toward
this goal in 2017 and beyond. In recent years,
generally low U.S. inflation rates have slowed
the rate by which fees at unconsolidated mines
have escalated, and some newer mines, such 
as Liberty Fuels, have experienced slower than
anticipated growth in customer demand. As a
result, achievement of the goal to increase 
earnings of the unconsolidated operations by
50% is currently expected to occur in 2020 or
2021, later than previously anticipated, with the
timing ultimately dependent on future inflation
rates and customer demand. 

to determine coal sales prices, the persistence of

NACoal believes that a large majority of 

low diesel fuel prices negatively affects earnings

at MLMC. 

Over the longer term, NACoal continues 
to expect that the earnings of its unconsolidated 
operations will increase by approximately 50%

consumers in the United States would benefit
from a domestic energy policy that balances 
affordability, energy needs and environmental 
responsibility. The company believes that, for the
foreseeable future, coal must remain an integral

8

part of the nation’s total energy mix for the United
States to continue to be competitive in a global
economy. NACoal will continue to monitor pending
regulations and legislation and will take a leader-
ship role to help encourage reasonable regulation
by the government. Importantly, NACoal expects
to continue to address changes to domestic envi-
ronmental regulatory requirements by working
collaboratively with its customers, trade associa-
tions, representatives of regulatory bodies, and
government officials. 

Given the unsupportive regulatory environ-
ment that has existed over the last several years
for developing new traditional coal-fired power
plants, and based on lessons learned at Centennial,
NACoal continues to take an extremely disciplined
approach with respect to growth. This includes
thoughtful deployment of NACoal’s core skills,
strengths and relationships. Opportunities may
exist to serve as a cost-plus contract miner for
those who continue to need coal for power 
generation or other processes using coal. Also,
strategic growth could come from projects based
on new technologies that utilize coal, such as 
integrated gasification combined cycle power
generation, and production of alternative fuels
made from coal, as well as other clean coal tech-
nologies and non-traditional products derived
from coal. NACoal is working with a range of
technical experts and potential partners who
could help develop projects based on these
technologies. NACoal is also well suited to serve
as a cost-plus contract miner in non-coal mining
operations, such as aggregates or other minerals.
Any significant growth in domestic coal mining
opportunities is largely dependent on the United
States adopting a more balanced energy policy in
which coal continues to play a key role, including
through new coal technologies. Developing new
opportunities and securing new contracts is a
long-term initiative that will take time. This is a
significant strategic priority for NACoal. 

Overall, NACoal’s attractive but unusual 
business model, based largely on long-term
cost-plus contracts, provides a solid foundation
for all of the company’s coal and limerock mining
operations and value-added service businesses.
This business model offers generally stable cash
flow before financing activities and requires 
minimal capital investment, other than at MLMC,
which will continue to require ongoing replace-
ment capital. NACoal will continue to pursue
growth as the company’s newer mines reach full
production. NACoal expects to continue its record
of operational excellence in safety, environmental
stewardship and production at each of its mining
operations and, over time, to deliver profitability
that exceeds its financial objectives.

Hamilton Beach Brands 
Overview

Hamilton Beach Brands’ (HBB) vision is to be

a leading designer, marketer and distributor of
small electric household and specialty housewares
appliances and of commercial products sold
worldwide under preferred brand names, and 
to achieve profitable growth from innovative
solutions that improve everyday living. 

Hamilton Beach Brands’ focus on consumer-
driven innovation led to the development of the
FlexBrew® Dual Single-Serve coffeemaker which
allows the consumer the flexibility to brew either
a single cup of coffee or two cups at once.

9

HBB develops and invests in several core

competencies that are critical to achieving that
vision. Most importantly, HBB has a culture based
on a foundation of Good Thinking®. Whether
developing innovation to address consumers’
unmet needs, solving a challenge in the supply
chain or partnering with a retail customer, HBB’s
Good Thinking® culture provides a meaningful
competitive advantage. The only way to maintain
that culture is by hiring and retaining talented
and dedicated employees globally. In addition,
HBB believes it is best in class at sourcing and
logistics, as well as support systems to meet 
the needs of retail and commercial customers.
HBB pursues market and product development
expertise to help ensure that its products delight
consumers across the most desirable market
opportunities. Finally, HBB maintains and invests
in a strong brand portfolio to increase customer
and consumer confidence that HBB’s family of
products is right for them.

Strategic Initiatives and Long-term View

HBB’s vision includes delivering sales of 
approximately $750 million over time by focusing
on its key strategic initiatives. As the company 
focuses on this target sales level, HBB expects to
take advantage of increasing economies of scale
to improve its return on sales. HBB’s strategic 
initiatives are as follows:

Placement Expertise: The most impactful
component of increasing market presence and
profitability is through increasing placements and
revenue in HBB’s core North American consumer
business. The company’s product and placement
track record is strong due to innovation processes
centered on understanding and meeting end-user
needs and focusing on quality and best-in-class
customer service. In the North American consumer
market, HBB believes it has a stronger and deeper
portfolio of new products than its competitors. HBB
will continue to introduce new products across a

kitchen appliances, brings commercial quality
performance to the consumer’s kitchen.

wide range of brands, price points and categories,
leveraging its strong brand portfolio which includes
Proctor Silex®, Hamilton Beach®, Weston®, Wolf
Gourmet®, Hamilton Beach® Professional and a
new brand addition, CHI®, in 2017. HBB’s place-
ment success during the past several years has
enabled the Hamilton Beach® brand to become
the number-one small kitchen appliance brand 
in the United States as measured by units sold.
Ecommerce: Ecommerce plays a significant
role in the industries in which HBB competes.
The U.S. small appliance industry has one of the
highest ecommerce penetration levels, with over
25% of total industry revenue generated through
ecommerce partners. Ecommerce penetration
in other countries varies significantly, but it is
growing quickly in every country where HBB
competes. HBB is investing in people, products
and capabilities to ensure its global ecommerce
sales grow at a faster rate than the industry. 
Retailers are looking for partners that can not
only provide products, but also have the capabili-
ties and support for promotion, marketing and
distribution programs appropriate for the online

10

channel. As consumers’ shopping habits evolve 
to rely more on the Internet, HBB is focused on
providing best-in-class retailer support, increasing
engagement with end users, including maintaining
websites that are appropriate for mobile devices,
and enhancing its programs designed to make
HBB the preferred partner for small appliances.
Only-the-Best Expansion: HBB has increased

focus and investment around its strategy to 
become a leader in the “only-the-best” high-end
small appliance market segment. This segment
accounts for approximately one-third of the U.S.
small kitchen appliance market as measured by
revenue, and the target consumer is financially
strong. This “only-the-best” segment offers a
strong growth opportunity in an area in which HBB
has not historically participated. HBB participates
in the “only-the-best” high-end small kitchen 
appliance market segment through a multi-year 
licensing agreement with Sub-Zero Group, Inc.,
which began in 2014. The first phase of Wolf
Gourmet® products, including small appliances,
cutlery and cookware, is currently available in 
a number of North American retail outlets and 
is selling well. A robust roadmap of additional 
product introductions is scheduled over the
coming years, and HBB expects to expand distri-
bution to additional countries around the globe.
In addition, HBB recently launched the Hamilton
Beach® Professional line, which was created to
leverage HBB’s commercial product development
expertise and provide products that enable 
consumers to achieve professional results at
home. HBB is expanding the Weston® brand,
which is focused on the food-to-table and farm-
to-table segments, to include products sold in the
“only-the-best” category. CHI® is the most recent
addition to HBB’s brand portfolio. HBB expects to
introduce a CHI®-branded garment care line as a
result of a multi-year licensing deal with Farouk
Systems, Inc., the owner of the CHI® brand and 
a proven global leader in the fashion industry. 

International Market Growth: HBB is focused

on expanding its retail presence internationally,

specifically in the emerging growth markets of

Asia and Latin America. To achieve this growth,

HBB is working to enhance its understanding 

of local consumers’ needs, developing products 

to meet those needs and increasing sales and

marketing resources allocated to these markets,

especially in the mid- to high-end segments. While

HBB has a long-standing presence in the global

commercial products market, HBB’s historical

strength in the retail segment has been in the

U.S. consumer goods market, with approximately

20% of its total sales occurring outside the United

States in 2016. HBB’s objective is to increase

international sales to 35 to 45% of total sales 

by concentrating on key markets. HBB’s efforts

will focus on continuing to expand its established

positions in Canada, Mexico, Central America and

South America, as well as further expanding HBB’s

position in the emerging markets of China and

Brazil. HBB expects to selectively pursue other

markets primarily by leveraging the Hamilton
Beach® and Wolf Gourmet® brands.  

Hamilton Beach Brands’ Wolf Gourmet®
blender, 4-Slice toaster and 2-Slice toaster
are some of the latest products available in
a line of luxury countertop appliances created
through a licensing agreement with
Sub-Zero Group, Inc.

11

Global Commercial Leadership: While HBB
has a leading position in the commercial market,
it continues to focus on achieving further pene-
tration of the global commercial market through
a commitment to an enhanced global product
line for chains and distributors serving the
global food service and hospitality markets. HBB
is enhancing its global commercial product line,
particularly with innovative, new juicing, blending
and mixing platforms, and is strengthening its
food service and hospitality offerings to achieve
further market penetration in this segment. As the
Internet begins to alter the food-service industry
from a product marketing, customer penetration
and selling perspective, HBB is increasing invest-
ments and expertise to ensure it has industry-
leading capabilities. 

Category and Channel Expansion: Driven 
by changes brought about by ecommerce, HBB
sees a meaningful opportunity to leverage its
brands, sourcing, distribution and ecommerce
expertise by expanding more quickly into new
appliance categories through ecommerce part-
ners. Consumers trust HBB to bring high-quality,
safe products to market at the right value propo-
sition. Once HBB establishes ecommerce success
in a particular new category, it expects to be well
positioned to expand those new categories into
existing and new physical retail outlets.

HBB made meaningful progress in most 
segments of its business in 2016. HBB believes 
it is well-positioned to continue its leadership 
position in the retail and commercial small 
appliance industries. Achieving its $750 million
sales objective will help move the company
toward achieving its near-term financial objective
of 8% operating profit margin and its long-term
financial objective of a minimum 10% operating
profit margin in the years ahead. It also expects
to continue to be a substantial generator of cash
flow before financing activities, with a continued
low level of capital expenditures required. 

Kitchen Collection 

Kitchen Collection’s vision is to be a leading
specialty retailer of kitchenware in outlet malls
throughout the United States. A shift in consumer
shopping patterns has led to declining consumer
traffic to physical retail locations and reduced 
in-store transactions as consumers buy more over
the Internet or utilize the Internet for comparison
shopping. Financial pressures on middle-market
consumers interested in housewares and small
appliances continue to persist and have also
adversely affected sales trends in these categories
over the last few years. 

Over the past several years, Kitchen Collection
has taken a number of strategic steps to position
the business to deliver an acceptable financial 
return in the near term. A number of performance
metrics have shown meaningful improvement
while other important challenges persist. Kitchen
Collection has consistently generated strong 
gross margins, closed unprofitable stores, 
reduced the inventory levels needed to run the
business, increased cash flow, improved its
customer transaction closure rate and reduced
overhead costs. While these efforts have signifi-
cantly improved and stabilized performance of
the business, the progress has not been enough
to overcome the challenge of reduced foot traffic
to physical retail locations.

As the business moves into 2017, Kitchen

Collection will continue to focus on the core
Kitchen Collection® store format in outlet malls.
Additional store closures are likely as Kitchen
Collection continues to focus on a smaller core
group of profitable Kitchen Collection® outlet
stores. The company will continue to optimize its
store portfolio with stores in high-traffic locations
in strong outlet malls and exit stores that do not
generate acceptable returns. Importantly, focus
will remain on improving comparable store sales
growth. Kitchen Collection expects to accomplish
this by increasing customer transaction closure

12

rates through further refinement of its format,
ongoing review of specific product offerings,
merchandise mix, store displays and appearance,
and enhancing customers’ store experience
through improved customer interactions. A
particular focus will be on increasing sales of
higher-margin products. Nonetheless, at the
current foot traffic levels, reaching the company’s
long-term 5% operating profit margin target will
be challenging. Capital expenditures are expected
to be modest, and cash flow before financing
activities is expected to be positive. 

Overall, Kitchen Collection is dealing with a
difficult environment and evolving aggressively 
in a constructive manner. 

Conclusion and NACCO Outlook 

NACCO is a strong, multi-industry company
with leading businesses in the mining and small
appliances industries. The Company continues to
believe HBB’s growth opportunities are signifi-
cant. NACCO is confident that HBB has the right
strategic initiatives in place to move it closer to
achieving its long-term growth and financial 
objectives. While growth opportunities are also
significant at NACoal, they are largely based on
growth at existing and newer mines and expansion
of value-added services for natural resource
companies. Both HBB and NACoal will be prudent
in pursuing any new opportunities. Kitchen 
Collection’s long-term prospects at this time are
uncertain, but its near-term prospects are positive
and should improve. NACCO is well-positioned
to support its individual businesses in the years
ahead. Each subsidiary is benefitting from 
programs previously put in place which, when

combined with the initiatives now being imple-
mented, should improve income and return on
total capital employed at each business over
the next few years. In addition, the Company 
expects North American Coal and Hamilton Beach
to generate significant cash flow before financing
over time, which it expects to use mainly to pay
dividends, repurchase stock, when that is an 
attractive investment for its shareholders, and 
reduce debt. Of course, NACoal and HBB will 
continue to look for internal and external oppor-
tunities to expand their range of activities in the
long term. 

In May 2016, the Company announced a
stock repurchase program, which permits the
repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's
outstanding Class A common stock. Since incep-
tion, NACCO has repurchased approximately
109,300 shares for an aggregate purchase price 
of $6.0 million. 

n  n  n

In closing, we would like to thank all of our
subsidiaries’ customers, retailers and suppliers,
and all of NACCO’s stockholders, for their
continued support. Most importantly, we would
also like to thank all employees of NACCO and its
subsidiary companies for their continued hard
work. We continue to have great confidence in
the management teams leading each of our
subsidiaries and the parent company, and we 
are confident these teams can successfully
implement their respective strategic initiatives 
to enhance the Company’s sales and profits 
over the next few years.

Adjusted Income is a measure of income that differs from Net Income measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has reported Adjusted
Income and Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 excluding the net effect of adjustments to eliminate Centennial.
Management believes a discussion excluding these adjustments to eliminate Centennial is more reflective of NACCO’s underlying business operations and
enables investors to better understand the results of operations of the Company.

securities, net of cash.
