PART I
 
ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

The Company

Oshkosh Corporation is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies. The Company partners with customers to deliver superior solutions that safely and efficiently move people and materials at work, around the globe, and around the clock. The Company began business in 1917 as an early pioneer of four-wheel drive technology, and off road mobility technology remains one of its core competencies. The Company maintains four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: access equipment, defense, fire & emergency and commercial, which comprised 34%40%, 48%40%, 10% and 8%10%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales in fiscal 2012.2013. These segments, in some way, all share common customers and distribution channels, leverage common components and suppliers, utilize common technologies and manufacturing processes and share manufacturing and distribution facilities, which results in the Company being an integrated specialty vehicle manufacturer. The Company made approximately 45%36%, 56%45% and 72%56% of its net sales for fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010,2011, respectively, to the U.S. government, a substantial majority of which were under multi-year contracts and programs in the defense vehicle market. See Note 2324 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information related to the Company’s business segments.

JLG, a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telehandlers used in a wide variety of construction, agricultural, industrial, institutional and general maintenance applications to position workers and materials at elevated heights, forms the base of the Company’s access equipment segment. JLG’s customers include equipment rental companies, construction contractors, manufacturing companies, home improvement centers and the U.S. military. The access equipment segment also includes Jerr-Dan brandedJerr-Dan-branded tow trucks (“wreckers”) and roll-back vehicle carriers (“carriers”) sold to towing companies in the U.S. and abroad.

The Company has sold products to the DoD for over 90 years and operates its military tactical wheeled vehicles business as its defense segment. In 1981, Oshkosh was awarded the first Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (“HEMTT”) contract for the DoD, and thereafter its defense segment developed into the DoD’s leading supplier of severe-duty, heavy-payload tactical trucks. In recent years,Since that time, Oshkosh has broadened its defense product offerings to become the leading manufacturer of severe-duty, heavy- and medium-payload tactical trucks for the DoD, manufacturing vehicles that perform a variety of demanding tasks such as hauling tanks, missile systems, ammunition, fuel, troops and cargo for combat units and lightlight-payload tactical vehicles, through its Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicles (“M-ATVs”). In October 2011, the Company introduced the Light Combat All-Terrain Vehicle (“L-ATV”) to continue to expand its light protected tactical wheeled vehicle offering. The L-ATV is the Company's entrant in the DoD's JLTV competition and was selected for the DoD Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (“JLTV”)JLTV Engineering, Manufacturing & Development ("EMD") contract in August 2012. Under2012 along with vehicles from two other competitors. Oshkosh delivered 22 Oshkosh-designed and manufactured L-ATVs under the JLTV EMD contract during fiscal 2013. Oshkosh will deliver 22 Oshkosh-designed and manufactured JLTV prototype vehicles within 365 days ofsupport the contract award, and support U.S. governmentgovernment's testing and evaluation of the prototypes.these vehicles during a 14-month U.S. government test and evaluation period. The L-ATV incorporates field-proven technologies, advanced armor solutions and expeditionary levels of off-road mobility to redefine safety and performance standards. The L-ATV also is designed for future growth, with the ability to accept additional armor packages and technology upgrades as the mission requires.

The Company’s fire & emergency segment manufactures commercial and custom firefighting vehicles and equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting (“ARFF”) vehicles, snow removal vehicles, simulators and other emergency vehicles primarily sold to fire departments, airports and other governmental units in the Americas and abroad, and broadcast vehicles sold to broadcasters and television stations in the Americas and abroad.

The Company’s commercial segment manufactures rear- and front-discharge concrete mixers, refuse collection vehicles, portable and stationary concrete batch plants and vehicle components sold to ready-mix companies and commercial and municipal waste haulers in North America and other international markets and field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes sold to mining, construction and other companies in the Americas and abroad.

Competitive Strengths

The following competitive strengths support the Company’s business strategy:

Strong Market Positions. The Company has developed strong market positions and brand recognition in its core businesses, which it attributes to its reputation for quality products, advanced engineering, innovation, vehicle performance, reliability, customer service and low total product life cycle costs. The Company maintains leading market shares in most of its businesses and is the sole-source supplier of a number of vehicles to the DoD.

Diversified Product Offering. The Company believes its broad product offerings and target markets serve to diversify its sources of revenues, mitigate the impact of economic cycles and provide multiple platforms for potential organic growth and acquisitions. The Company’s product offerings provide extensive opportunities for bundling of products for sale to customers, co-location of manufacturing, leveraging purchasing power and sharing technology within and between segments. For each of its target markets, the Company has developed or acquired a broad product line in an effort to become a single-source provider of specialty vehicles, vehicle bodies, parts and service and related products to its customers. In addition, the Company has established an extensive domestic and international distribution system for specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies tailored to each market.

Quality Products and Customer Service. The Company has developed strong brand recognition for its products as a result of its commitment to meet the stringent product quality and reliability requirements of its customers in the specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets it serves. The Company frequently achieves premium pricing due to the durability and low life cycle costs for its products. The Company also provides high quality customer service through its extensive parts and service support programs, which are generally available to customers 365 days a year in all product lines throughout the Company’s distribution systems.

Innovative and Proprietary Components. The Company’s advanced design and engineering capabilities have contributed to the development of innovative and/or proprietary, severe-duty components that enhance vehicle performance, reduce manufacturing costs and strengthen customer relationships. The Company’s advanced design and engineering capabilities have also allowed it to integrate many of these components across various product lines, which enhances its ability to compete for new business and reduces its costs to manufacture its products compared to manufacturers who simply assemble purchased components.

Flexible and Efficient Manufacturing. Over the past 15 years, the Company has significantly increased manufacturing efficiencies. The Company believes it has competitive advantages over larger vehicle manufacturers in its specialty vehicle markets due to its manufacturing flexibility, vertical integration, purchasing power in specialty vehicle components and custom fabrication capabilities. In addition, the Company believes it has competitive advantages over smaller vehicle and vehicle body manufacturers due to its relatively higher volumes of similar products that permit the use of moving assembly lines and which allow it to leverage purchasing power and technology opportunities across product lines.

Strong Management Team. The Company is led by Chief Executive Officer Charles L. Szews and President and Chief Operating Officer Wilson R. Jones who have been employed by the Company since 1996 and 2005, respectively. Messrs. Szews and Jones are complemented by an experienced senior management team that has been assembled through internal promotions, new hires and acquisitions. The management team has successfully executed a strategic reshaping and expansion of its business since 1996, which has positioned the Company to be a global leader in the specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets.

Business Strategy

The Company is focused on increasing its net sales, profitability and cash flow and strengthening its balance sheet by capitalizing on its competitive strengths and pursuing an integrated business strategy. The Company completed a comprehensive strategic planning process in fiscal 2011 with the assistance of a globally recognizedglobally-recognized consulting firm that culminated in the creation of the Company’s roadmap, named MOVE, to deliver outstanding long-term shareholder value. OnIn September 14, 2012, the Company announced its target of achieving earnings per share of $4.00 to $4.50 by fiscal 2015. The execution of the MOVE strategy which is a key component in achievingfiscal 2013 led the targetedCompany to report substantially higher consolidated earnings per share range,than the estimates that the Company conveyed at its September 2012 Analyst Day, increased revenues in each of the Company's non-defense segments as compared to fiscal 2012 and higher operating income margins in all of its segments as compared to fiscal 2012. The MOVE strategy consists of four key strategies:

initiatives. In the aggregate, the Company believes that it is on track to achieve its fiscal 2015 earnings per

share target range, while the Company is executing countermeasures to drive certain initiatives that are behind schedule to become back on target.

The Company's four MOVE initiatives are:

Market Recovery and Growth. The Company plans to continue to captureis focused on capturing and improveimproving its historichistorical share in a market recovery. A number of the markets in which the Company participates have beenwere down anywhere from 40% to more than 90% from peak levels as a result of the global recession. The Company has seen some since 2007,recovery in a number of markets in which it participates, but these markets have still not returned to pre-recession levels and generally, customer vehicle fleets continue to age. The Company is workingcontinues to improvework on improving its sales, inventory and operations planning and sales capture processes to more effectively respond to customers’ needs as the recovery occurs in each of its markets. Also, throughout thethis extended period of weak economic conditions, the Company has continued to focus on staying close to its customers andby providing high qualityhigh-quality customer service through its extensive parts and service support programs, which are generally available to customers 365 days a year in all product lines throughout the Company’s distribution systems. The Company believesestimated in September 2012 that even a modest market recovery representsrepresented a $220 million operating income opportunity in its non-defense businesses between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2015 at historical margins and assuming no major market share gains.

In fiscal 2013, the Company experienced continued improvement in the North American access equipment market and in the U.S. concrete mixer market. In addition, quoting activity and orders for fire apparatus increased late in fiscal 2013. The European and Australian access equipment markets underperformed expectations in fiscal 2013. The Company currently believes that this initiative is projected to finish below the fiscal 2015 target of $220 million incremental operating income due to a weaker recovery in certain markets than was expected compared to its September 2012 estimates.

Optimize Cost and Capital Structure. The Company plans to optimizeis focused on optimizing its cost and capital structure ("O" initiative) to provide value for customers and shareholders by aggressively attacking its product, process and overhead costs. The Company utilizes a comprehensive, lean enterprise focus to drive to be a low cost producer in all of its product lines while sustaining premium product features and quality, and to deliver low product life cycle costs for its customers. Lean is a methodology to eliminate non-value added work from a process stream. During the last few years, theThe Company has implemented this strategy by:
Combining the Company’s strategic purchasing teams globally into a single organization led by an externally-recruited chief procurement officer to capture its full purchasing power across all of its businesses and to promote low cost countrylow-cost-country sourcing;
Managing the business to target breakthrough objectives, including aggressive cost reduction targets, via the Company-wide use of strategy deployment scorecards to provide effective, timely assessment of progress toward objectives and implementation of countermeasures as needed;
Utilizing integrated project teams to reduce product costs for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (“FMTV”) program and other key products;
Creating chartered cost reduction teams at all businesses and introducing broad-based training programs;
Creating a single quality management system to drive enhanced quality throughout all of the Company’s businesses resulting in satisfied customersto improve customer satisfaction and a lower the cost of quality;
Launching and leveraging the Oshkosh Operating System (“OOS”) to create common practices across the Company to enhance its performance. The OOS is a system of doing business that is focused on serving and delighting customers by utilizing continuous improvement and lean practices. During fiscal 2013, the Company trained over 11,000 employees in elements of the OOS. The Company believes that the OOS enables it to sustain superiorstrong performance for its customers, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders; and
ChangingDeveloping and communicating to shareholders a comprehensive capital allocation strategy that has resulted in reducing the Company's defined benefit pension plans, retiree health plan,leverage to create options for internal investments, acquisitions and supplemental executive retirement planreturn of capital to reduce the cash flow and expense volatility associated with these defined benefit plans. These changes included:shareholders.
Freezing the qualified non-contributory defined benefit plans for salaried employees as of December 31, 2012.
Eliminating the retiree health plan for salaried employees that provides coverage for employees retiring at age 55 or older effective December 31, 2012, except for existing eligible employees who are at least age 55 with at least five years of service by December 31, 2012. This group of “grandfathered” employees will have until December 31, 2013 to elect this benefit if they retire by this date.
Freezing the non-qualified defined benefit supplemental executive retirement pension plan as of December 31, 2012.
Providing pension benefits to impacted employees under new, qualified and non-qualified defined contribution pension plans effective January 1, 2013.

As a result of this focus on cost optimization, the Company expects to more efficiently utilize its manufacturing facilities, increase inventory turns, and reduce product, process and overhead costs, and lower manufacturing lead times and new product development cycle times over the next several years. The Company is targetingexpects to exceed its 250 basis points of incrementalpoint target for consolidated operating income margin improvement by fiscal 2015 from this initiative compared to fiscal 2012.

The Company made good progress on the Company’s “O” initiative in fiscal 2013, which contributed to a 430 basis point increase in operating income margins in the Company's largest segment, access equipment. The Company expects that the actions implemented in fiscal 2013 for this initiative will result in approximately 110 basis points of the 130 basis point operating income margin improvement that the Company had previously targeted for fiscal 2014.

The Company has repaid more than $2 billion of acquisition-related debt since fiscal 2008. As a result, the Company believes that its capital structure at September 30, 20122013 is within its targeted range for indebtedness. Because the Company continues to expect to have ample freeoperating cash flow to support its existing businesses, the Company has shifted its cash deployment in the future is likely to shiftstrategy from debt reduction to returning cash to shareholders and investing in external growth opportunities. Toshareholders. In this effect,regard, the Company repurchased

546,965 6.1 million shares of Common Stock during the fourth quarter of fiscal 20122013 at a cost of $13.3 million.$201.8 million. On November 15, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's stock repurchase authorization such that the Company hashad authority to repurchase 11,000,000 sharesshare of Common Stock after the Board action. The Company is targetingtargeted spending $300 million to repurchase shares over the 12 to 18 months following that date and expectsbut has authority to spend at least $75 milliongo up to repurchase shares over the three months following11,000,000 shares. The Company also recently announced that date.it is reinstating a quarterly cash dividend by declaring a $0.15 per share dividend payable on December 2, 2013 to shareholders of record as of November 18, 2013. The Company intends to pay a dividend quarterly in its quest to continue to increase shareholder value.

Value Innovation. The Company intends to maintainhas maintained its emphasis on new product development as it seeks to expand sales and margins by leading its core markets in the introduction of new or improved products and new technologies. The Company primarily uses internal development but also uses licensing of technology and strategic acquisitions to execute multi-generational product plans in each of the Company’s businesses. The Company actively seeks to commercialize emerging technologies that are capable of expanding customer uses of its products. Examples of the Company’s innovation include:
The Rental Series scissor lift, which targets the price-value segment of the access equipment market;
The JLG 150-foot articulating boom, the largest self-propelled articulating boom on the market, which enables operators to tackle high level access needs for construction and maintenance applications;
The TAK-4 family of independent suspension system,systems, which the Company uses on multiple vehicle platforms in its defense and fire & emergency segments and which it has installed on other manufacturers’ Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (“MRAP”) vehicles;
The L-ATV, which incorporates field-proven technologies, advanced armor solutions and expeditionary levels of mobility to redefine safety and performance standards;
The Command Zone multiplexing technology, which the Company has applied to numerous products in each of its segments to control, monitor and diagnose electronic components;
The Pierce Ultimate Configuration (“PUC”) vehicle configuration, which eliminates the bulky pumphouse from firefighting vehicles, making such vehicles easier to use and service;
The Dash Cab Forward which is a new firefighting vehicle featuring an innovative tilting cab-forward design that repositions the engine rearward and lower between the frame rails, with an open interior configuration that enables firefighters to better prepare for the unexpected situations they face when arriving on the scene of a fire or other emergency situation; and
The integration of compressed natural gas to power McNeilus’ refuse collection vehicles and concrete mixers, which reduces fuel costs and emissions.emissions; and
The split-body refuse collection vehicle with automatic tailgate locks to collect and separate multiple waste streams and safely eject loads from inside the cab.

The Company is targeting $350 million of incremental annual revenue by fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2012 as a result of this initiative. The Company’s value innovation initiative did not meet the Company’s target for incremental revenue from new products in fiscal 2013. The Company made engineering management changes mid-year, re-allocated resources and made structural changes to the Company’s product development stage gate review process to bring this initiative back on track. The Company expects that its countermeasures will drive incremental new product launches in fiscal 2014 and 2015 and expects this initiative to be back on target by fiscal 2015.

Emerging Market Expansion. The Company plans to continue its expansion into those specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets globally where it has or can acquire strong market positions over time and where it believes it can leverage synergies in purchasing, manufacturing, technology and distribution to increase sales and profitability. Business development teams actively pursue new customers in targeted developing countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. In pursuit of this strategy, the Company opened a 193,000 square foot facility in Tianjin, China in May 2010 to produce JLG access equipment for the Asian market. In fiscal 2011, the Company commenced concrete mixer manufacturing in Brazil and opened new sales and service offices in Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and China in fiscal 2011 to pursue various opportunities in each of those countries. In addition, in fiscal 2013, the Company expanded its sales and aftermarket personnel in multiple countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. The Company would also consider selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions primarily internationally, to enhance the Company’s product offerings and expand its international presence in the specialty vehicle and vehicle body markets. Sales to customers outside of the U.S. comprised 21.8%21%, 17.1%22% and 9.6%17% of the Company’s consolidated sales for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, respectively. Some of the Company's recent success in generating multi-unit orders included a combination order for 120 fire apparatus and wrecker vehicles to Ghana, an order for 245 border patrol vehicles to Mexico and more than 30 fire apparatus vehicles to Brazil. In addition, the Company received an order for 750 M-ATV units from the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") in fiscal 2012 for delivery in fiscal 2013. The Company believes it is targetingon track to achieve its target to derive more than 25% of its revenues from outside the U.S. by fiscal 2015.

Unit backlog for concrete mixers was up 79.7%down 26.7% compared to September 30, 20112012. The Company believes that aged fleets and recent increases in housing starts contributed to recent larger, multiple-unitthis decline is the result of timing of large orders. Unit backlog for refuse collection vehicles was down 29.7%7.8% at September 30, 20122013 compared to September 30, 20112012. Prior year orders and backlog were positively impacted as customers scheduled delivery of units prior to the December 31, 2011 expiration of a U.S. bonus tax depreciation deduction.

Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. Additionally, backlog excludes unfunded portions of the FHTV and FMTV contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers. Approximately 14%8% of the Company’s September 30, 20122013 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2013.2014.

Government Contracts

Approximately 45%36% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 20122013 were made to the U.S. government, a substantial majority of which were under multi-year contracts and programs in the defense vehicle market. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Company’s sales are subject to risks specific to doing business with the U.S. government, including uncertainty of economic conditions, changes in government policies and requirements that may reflect rapidly changing military and political developments, the availability of funds and the ability to meet specified performance thresholds. Multi-year contracts may be conditioned upon continued availability of congressional appropriations which could beand are being impacted by the uncertainty regarding the futurefederal budget pressures and decreasing level of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan and federal budget pressures.Afghanistan. Variances between anticipated budget and congressional appropriations may result in a delay, reduction or termination of these contracts. In addition, continued weak economic conditions have put significant pressure on the U.S. federal budget. The Budget Control Act of 2011 contains an automatic sequestration feature that would orderrequires an additional $600 billion of cuts to defense spending over the defense budget starting in calendarnext ten years. Sequestration took effect on March 1, 2013 iffollowing the failure by Congress fails to enact by December 31, 2012 the specified $1.2 trillion innecessary legislation to reduce the U.S. federal deficit reductions to be recommendedas mandated by the Joint Committee.Budget Control Act of 2011. Budgetary concerns could result in future defense vehicle contracts being awarded more on price than the past competitive factors described above.

The Company’s sales into defense vehicle markets are substantially dependent upon periodic awards of new contracts and the purchase of base vehicle quantities and the exercise of options under existing contracts. The Company’s existing contracts with the DoD may be terminated at any time for the convenience of the U.S. government. Upon such termination, the Company would generally be entitled to reimbursement of its incurred costs and to payment of a reasonable profit for work actually performed.

Defense contract awards that the Company receives may be subject to protests by competing bidders, which protests, if successful, could result in the DoD revoking part or all of any defense contract it awards to the Company and an inability of the Company to recover amounts the Company has expended during the protest period in anticipation of initiating work under any such contract.

Under firm, fixed-price contracts with the U.S. government, the price paid to the Company is generally not subject to adjustment to reflect the Company’s actual costs, except costs incurred as a result of contract changes ordered by the U.S. government. The Company generally attempts to negotiate with the U.S. government the amount of increased compensation to which the Company is entitled for government-ordered changes that result in higher costs. If the Company is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement to provide such increased compensation, then the Company may file an appeal with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or the U.S. Claims Court. The Company has no such appeals pending. The Company seeks to mitigate risks with respect to fixed-price contracts by executing firm, fixed-price contracts with a substantial majority of its suppliers for the duration of the Company’s contracts.

The Company, as a U.S. government contractor, is subject to financial audits and other reviews by the U.S. government ofrelating to the performance of, and the accounting and general practices relating to, U.S. government contracts. Like most large government contractors, the Company is audited and reviewed by the government on a continual basis. Costs and prices under such contracts may be subject to adjustment based upon the results of such audits and reviews. Additionally, such audits and reviews can lead to civil, criminal or administrative proceedings. Such proceedings could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company or one or more of its subsidiaries can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges based on the results

on the results of such proceedings. The Company believes that the outcome of all such audits and reviews that are now pending will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Suppliers

The Company is dependent on its suppliers and subcontractors to meet commitments to its customers, and many components are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic and foreign companies. Components for the Company’s products are generally available from a number of suppliers, although the transition to a new supplier may require several months to conclude. The Company purchases chassis components, such as vehicle frames, engines, transmissions, radiators, axles, tires, drive motors, bearings and hydraulic components and vehicle body options, such as cranes, cargo bodies and trailers, from third-party suppliers. These body options may be manufactured specific to the Company’s requirements; however, most of the body options could be manufactured by other suppliers or the Company itself. Through reliance on this supply network for the purchase of certain components, the Company is able to reduce many of the preproduction and fixed costs associated with the manufacture of these components and vehicle body options. The Company purchases a large amount of fabrications and outsources certain manufacturing services, each generally from small companies located near its facilities. While providing low-cost services and product surge capability, such companies often require additional management attention during difficult economic conditions or contract start-up. The Company also purchases complete vehicle chassis from truck chassis suppliers in its commercial segment and, to a lesser extent, in its fire & emergency and access equipment segments. Increasingly, the Company is sourcing components globally, which may involve additional inventory requirements and introduces additional foreign currency exposures. The Company maintains an extensive qualification, on-site inspection, assistance and performance measurement system to attempt to control risks associated with reliance on suppliers. The Company occasionally experiences problems with supplier and subcontractor performance and component, chassis and body availability and must identify alternate sources of supply and/or address related warranty claims from customers.

While the Company purchases many costly components such as chassis, engines and transmissions, it manufactures certain proprietary components and systems. These components include front drive steer axles, transfer cases, transaxles, cabs, the TAK-4 independent suspension system, Hercules and Husky compressed air foam systems, the Command Zone vehicle control system, the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum, body structures and many smaller parts that add uniqueness and value to the Company’s products. The Company believes controlling the production of these components provides a significant competitive advantage and also serves to reduce the production costs of the Company’s products.

Intellectual Property

Patents and licenses are important in the operation of the Company's business. One of management's objectives is developing proprietary components to provide the Company's customers with advanced technological solutions at attractive prices. The Company holds in excess of 560550 active domestic and foreign patents. The Company believes patents for the TAK-4 independent suspension system, which expire between 2016 and 2029, provide the Company with a competitive advantage in the defense and fire & emergency segments. In the defense segment, the TAK-4 independent suspension system has been incorporated into the U.S. Marine Corps' MTVR and LVSR programs, the U.S. Army's PLS A1 program and the MRAP - Joint Program Office M-ATV program. The Company believes the TAK-4 independent suspension system provided a performance and cost advantage that led to the Company winning and successfully executing these programs. In the fire & emergency segment, TAK-4 independent suspension systems are standard on all Pierce custom fire trucks, as well as Striker and Global Striker ARFF vehicles, which the Company believes brings a similar competitive advantage to these markets.

TheIn 2012, the Company has recently introduced the TAK-4inewest TAK-4 independent suspension system configuration, TAK-4i, where the “i” stands for “intelligent.” The TAK-4i, which has been developed for rigorous military applications, provides 20 inches of wheel travel, a 25% improvement compared to the original TAK-4, and incorporates an adjustable ride height feature. The TAK-4i was a key factor in the Company's L-ATV entrant in the JLTV EMD competition, allowing the L-ATV to exceed all of the ride quality requirements of the JLTV EMD specification.

The Company believes that patents for certain components of its ProPulse hybrid electric drive system, Command Zone electronics system and TerraMax autonomous vehicle systems offer potential competitive advantages to product lines across all its segments. To a lesser extent, other proprietary components provide the Company a competitive advantage in each of the Company's segments.

The Company has purchased exclusive, renewable licenses for the rights to manufacture and market the Revolution composite concrete mixer drum in the Americas and Europe. These licenses require the Company to make royalty fee payments to its Australian partner for each Revolution drum sold. The Revolution composite drum is substantially lighter than a comparable steel drum permitting greater payload capacity and is easier to clean, which together lower the cost of delivered concrete.

As part of the Company’s long-term alliance with Caterpillar Inc., the Company acquired a non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to use certain Caterpillar intellectual property through 2025 in connection with the design and manufacture of Caterpillar’s current telehandler products. Additionally, Caterpillar assigned to JLG certain patents and patent applications relating to the Caterpillar-branded telehandler products.

The Company holds trademarks for “Oshkosh,” “TAK-4,” “ProPulse,” “JLG,” “SkyTrak,” “Lull,” “Pierce,” “McNeilus,” “Revolution,” “Jerr-Dan,” “CON-E-CO,” “London” and “IMT” among others. These trademarks are considered to be important to the future success of the Company’s business.

Employees

As of September 30, 20122013, the Company had approximately 13,20011,900 employees. The United Auto Workers union (“UAW”) represented approximately 3,0001,900 production employees at the Company’s Oshkosh, Wisconsin facilities; the Boilermakers, Iron Shipbuilders, Blacksmiths, and Forgers Union (“Boilermakers”) represented approximately 240 employees at the Company’s Kewaunee, Wisconsin facility; and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union (“Teamsters”) represented approximately 130125 employees at the Company’s Garner, Iowa facility. The Company’s five-yearCompany extended its agreement with the UAW extends throughin September 2016,2013, and the agreement now expires in September 2021. The Company’s agreement with the Boilermakers extends through May 2017. The Company’s three-year agreement with the Teamsters extends through October 2014. In addition, the majority of the Company’s approximately 1,400 employees located outside of the U.S. are represented by separate works councils or unions. The Company believes its relationship with employees is satisfactory. In October 2012, the Company announced the layoff of 450 employees in the defense segment effective January 2013 due to a reduction in production levels.

Seasonal Nature of Business

In the Company’s access equipment and commercial segments, business tends to be seasonal with an increase in sales occurring in the spring and summer months that constitute the traditional construction season in the northern hemisphere. In addition, sales are generally lower in the first fiscal quarter in all segments due to the relatively high number of holidays which reduce available shipping days.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

The Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. Investors should consider carefully information in this Form 10-K in light of the risk factors described below.

Certain of our markets are highly cyclical and the current or any further declinecyclical. Declines in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.

The high levels of sales in our defense segment in recent years have beenfrom 2002 to 2012 were due in significant part to demand for defense trucks, replacement parts and services (including armoring) and truck remanufacturing arising from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Events such as these are unplanned, as is the demand for our products that arises out of such events. Virtually all U.S. troops were withdrawn from Iraq during 2011, and plans are in place for the withdrawal of most U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan by December 2014, both of which will likely result2014. These troop movements have resulted in a reductionsignificant reductions in the level of defense funding allocated to support U.S. military involvement in those conflicts.conflicts and further reductions are likely. In addition, current economic and political conditions have put significant pressure on the U.S. federal budget, including the defense budget. TheCurrent and projected DoD budget for fiscal 2012 includesbudgets have significantly lower funding for purchases of new militaryour vehicles thatthan we manufacture under our FHTVexperienced during the Iraq and FMTV contracts than in prior years. In addition, the President's fiscal 2013 defense budget request, which includes expected funding requests for defense programs through fiscal 2017, includes significantly lower funding levels for the FHTV and FMTV programs than those that were included in the fiscal 2012 budget and includesAfghanistan conflicts, including no planned funding for the FMTV program starting in fiscal 2015. The President's fiscal 2013DoD could also seek to reallocate certain funds originally planned for the purchase of vehicles manufactured by us under the current defense budget request reflects previously announced plans to cut U.S. defense spending by $487 billion overrequest. In addition, the next ten years. The Budget Control Act of 2011 contains an automatic sequestration feature that could requirerequires an additional $600 billion of cuts to defense spending totaling over $1 trillion during this period iffrom 2013 to 2023. Sequestration took effect on March 1, 2013 following the failure by Congress fails to enact the specified $1.2 trillion innecessary legislation to reduce the U.S. federal deficit reductionsas mandated by December 31, 2012. Unless Congress acts, sequestration will result in significant reductions to the defense budget starting in calendar 2013.Budget Control Act of 2011. The magnitude of the adverse impact that federal budget pressures and expected further reductions in future defense funding as a result of the withdrawaldrawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq and planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan will have on funding for Oshkosh defense programs is uncertain, but directionally, we expect such funding to decline significantly. Furthermore, our defense business may fluctuate significantly from time to time as a result of the start and completion of existing and new contract awards that we may receive.

The decline, compared to historical levels, in overall customer demand in our commercial and fire & emergency markets that we have experienced since the start of the global economic downturn and any further decline could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance. While demand in our access equipment markets has rebounded from historical lows that we experienced during the Great Recession and housing starts have begun to improve to support recovery in several of our product lines, such demand is dependent on the global economies and may not be sustainable. Recently, there have been increasing concerns about several European economies. Further, certain countries in Asia and Latin America have experienced slower growth rates than the prior yearand there have been mixed economic signs in the U.S. All of these factors, whether taken together or individually, could result in lower demand for our products. The access equipment market is highly cyclical and impacted by the strength of economies in general, by residential and non-residential construction spending, by the ability of rental companies to obtain third partythird-party financing to purchase revenue generating assets, by capital expenditures of rental companies in general and by other factors. The ready-mix concrete market that we serve is highly cyclical and impacted by the strength of the economy generally, by the number of housing starts and by other factors that may have an effect on the level of concrete placement activity, either regionally or nationally. Refuse collection vehicle markets are also cyclical and impacted by the strength of economies in general, by municipal tax receipts and by the size and timing of capital expenditures ofby large waste haulers. Fire & emergency markets are cyclical later in an economic downturn and are impacted by the economy generally and by municipal tax receipts and capital expenditures. Concrete mixer and access equipment sales also are seasonal with the majority of such sales occurring in the spring and summer months, which constitute the traditional construction season in the Northern hemisphere.

The global economy continues to experience weakness, which has negatively impacted sales volumes for our access equipment, commercial and fire & emergency products as compared to historical levels. In addition,While demand in our access equipment markets has rebounded from historical lows that we experienced during the Great Recession, such demand is dependent on the global economic weakness has caused lending institutions to tighten their credit lending standards, which has restricted our customers' access to capital.economies and may not be sustainable. Continued weakness in U.S. and European housing starts and non-residential construction spending fromcompared to historical levels in most geographical areas of the world are furtheris contributing to the cyclically lower sales volumes. In addition, weakness in U.S. housing starts has also resulted in lower municipal tax revenues, which continues to negatively impact demand for refuse collection vehicles and fire apparatus and has delayed the recovery in these markets. A lack of significant improvement in residential and non-residential construction spending or continued low levels of construction activity generally may result in our inability to achieve our MOVE performance targets or cause future weakness in demand for our products. Order ratesFurthermore, growth in the access equipment segment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were significantly lower than in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. While we believe that this is largely due to a shift

in the timing of orders, we cannot offer any assurances that the slower order rate will not continue into the foreseeable future. Municipal tax revenues in the U.S. have weakened, which has negatively impacted demand for refuse collection vehicles and fire apparatus and delayed the recovery in these markets. Furthermore, it is possible that emerging market growthcertain other global markets has slowed andor could slow, even further, which could negatively impact our growthsales in those markets. Specifically, access equipment sales in Australia declined in fiscal 2013 due primarily to a slowdown in mining activity. All of these factors, whether taken together or individually, could result in lower demand for our products. We cannot provide any assurance that the global economic weakness and tight credit markets will not continue or become more severe. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that any economic recovery will not progress more slowly than what we or the market expect. If the global economic weakness and tight credit markets continuecontinues or becomebecomes more severe, or if any economic recovery progresses more slowly than what we or the market expect, then there could be a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

Concrete mixer and access equipment sales also are seasonal with the majority of such sales occurring in the spring and summer months, which constitute the traditional construction season in the Northern hemisphere.

Our dependency on contracts with U.S. and foreign government agencies subjects us to a variety of risks that could materially reduce our revenues or profits.

We are dependent on U.S. and foreign government contracts for a substantial portion of our business. Approximately 91%87% of our defense segment sales in fiscal 20122013 were to the DoD. That business is subject to the following risks, among others, that could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance:

Our business is susceptible to changes in the U.S. defense budget, which may reduce revenues that we expect from our defense business, especially in light of federal budget pressures in part caused by U.S. economic weakness, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq the plans to withdraw U.S. troops fromand Afghanistan, by December 2014sequestration and the level of defense funding that will be allocated to the DoD's tactical wheeled vehicle strategy generally.

The U.S. government may not appropriate funding that we expect for our U.S. government contracts, which may prevent us from realizing revenues under current contracts or receiving additional orders that we anticipate we will receive.

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to an annual congressional budget authorization and appropriation process. In years when the U.S. government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, government operations are typically funded pursuant to a “continuing resolution,” which allows federal government agencies to operate at spending levels approved in the previous budget cycle, but does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the U.S. government operates under a continuing resolution, delays can occur in the procurement of the products, services and solutions that we provide and may result in new initiatives being canceled. In years when the U.S. government fails to complete its budget process or to provide for a continuing resolution, a federal government shutdown may result, similar to that which occurred in October 2013 and may occur again early in calendar 2014 if the U.S. government fails to complete its budget process for fiscal 2014. This could in turn result in the delay or cancellation of key programs, which could have a negative effect on our cash flows and adversely affect our future results. In addition, payments to contractors for services performed during a federal government shutdown may be delayed, which would have a negative effect on our cash flows.
Competitions for the award of defense truck contracts are intense, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in the defense truck procurement competitions in which we participate. In particular, we are competing for the U.S. JLTV contract, which is the only U.S. tactical wheeled vehicle contract of significant size that is available for bid by us for the foreseeable future. As such, the JLTV contract win is critically important for the long-term outlook of our defense segment, which is dedicated to tactical wheeled vehicle manufacturing and sales. We expect pricing for this competition to be intense.
Certain of our government contracts for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines could be suspended opened for competition or terminated, and all such contracts expire in the future and may not be replaced, which could reduce revenues that we expect under the contracts and negatively affect margins in our defense segment.

The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act requires competition for U.S. defense programs in certain circumstances. It is possible that the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines will conduct an open competition for programs for which we currently have contracts upon the expiration of the existing contracts. Competition for DoD programs that we currently have could result in the U.S. government awarding future contracts to another manufacturer or the U.S. government awarding the contracts to us at lower prices and operating margins than we experience under the current contracts.

Defense truck contract awards that we receive may be subject to protests by competing bidders, which protests, if successful, could result in the DoD revoking part or all of any defense truck contract it awards to us and our inability to recover amounts we have expended in anticipation of initiating production under any such contract.

Most of our government contracts are fixed-price contracts with price escalation factors included for those contracts that extend beyond one year. Our actual costs on any of these contracts may exceed our projected costs, which could result in profits lower than historically realized or than we anticipate or net losses under these contracts.

We recognize revenue on certain undefinitized contracts with the DoD to the extent that we can reasonably and reliably estimate the expected final contract price and when collectability is reasonably assured. Undefinitized contracts are used when we and the DoD have not agreed upon all contract terms before we begin performance under the contracts. At September 30, 2012, we had recorded $83.4 million in revenue on contracts that remain undefinitized. To the extent that contract definitization results in changes or adjustments to previously recognized revenues or estimated or incurred costs, including charges from subcontractors, we record those adjustments as a change in estimate in the period of change. While we believe the definitization of contracts will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, actual results could vary from current estimates.

We are required tomust spend significant sums on product development and testing, bid and proposal activities and pre-contract engineering, tooling and design activities in competitions to have the opportunity to be awarded these contracts.

Competitions for the award of defense truck contracts are intense, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in the defense truck procurement competitions in which we participate.

Our defense products undergo rigorous testing by the customer and are subject to highly technical requirements. Our products are inspected extensively by the DoD prior to acceptance to determine adherence to contractual technical and quality requirements. Any failure to pass these tests or to comply with these requirements could result in unanticipated retrofit and rework costs, vehicle design changes, delayed acceptance of vehicles, late or no payments under such contracts or cancellation of the contract to provide vehicles to the U.S. government.

OurAs a U.S. government contractor, our U.S. government contracts and systems are subject to audit which could result inand review by the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Defense Contract Management Agency. These agencies review our performance under our U.S. government contracts, our cost structure and our compliance with laws and regulations applicable to U.S. government contractors. Systems that are subject to review include, but are not limited to, our accounting systems, estimating systems, material management systems, earned value management systems, purchasing systems and government property systems. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, errors or system inadequacies then we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, contract adjustments and/or agreements to upgrade existing systems as well as administrative sanctions that may include the termination of our U.S. government contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and, under certain circumstances, suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracts for a period of time. Whether or not illegal activities are alleged and regardless of materiality, the U.S. government also has the ability to decrease or withhold certain payments when it deems systems subject to its review to be inadequate. These laws and regulations affect how we do business with our customers and, in many instances, impose added costs and prices under these contracts.

on our business.
Our defense truck contracts are large in size and require significant personnel and production resources, and when such contracts end or significantly reduce their vehicle requirements, we must make adjustments to personnel and production resources. This was the caseThe start and completion of existing and new contract awards that we may receive can cause our defense business to fluctuate significantly. In 2013, we implemented significant reductions to our production and office workforce in October 2012 when we announced the layoff of 450 full time employees and 40 contractors effective January 2013our defense segment due to a reductionlower production levels mandated by the aforementioned significant reductions in production levels.U.S. government funding for our defense vehicles, and additional workforce reductions may be required. If we are unable to effectively reduce our cost structure commensurate with the completion of certain largelower defense contracts,vehicle production requirements, our future earnings and cash flows would be adversely affected. In addition, if we are not able to utilize existing defense segment production equipment for alternative purposes, we could incur asset impairment charges as a result of the significant reduction and projected further reduction in projectedU.S. defense funding.

We have historically received payments in advance of product deliveries, or performance-based payments (“PBP”), on a number of our U.S. government contracts. In the event that we are not able to meet contractual delivery requirements onour obligations under these contracts, the U.S. government may discontinue, providing PBPs.suspend or reduce the PBPs that it currently provides under these contracts. The U.S. government may also has become less willing to offer PBPs.PBPs and has generally reduced the amount of PBPs on new contract awards, as was the case on our most recent FHTV contract extension. If we stop receiving PBPs or receive PBPs at lower levels on future contract awards, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to repay debt and cause us to incur higher interest rates on our outstanding debt.

cash flows.
In the event of component availability constraints, the U.S. government has the ability to unilaterally divert the supply of components used on multiple government programs to those programs rated most urgent (DX-rated programs).

This could result in the U.S. government diverting the supply of component parts necessary for the production of vehicles under our U.S. defense contracts to other contractors.
We periodically experience difficulties with sourcing sufficient vehicle carcasses from the U.S. military to maintain our defense truck remanufacturing schedule, which can create uncertainty and inefficiencies for this area of our business.

We may not be able to execute on our MOVE strategy and meet our long-term financial goals.

We have announced a roadmap, our MOVE strategy, to deliver long-term growth and earnings for our shareholders and to meet our long-term financial goals. The long-term financial goals that we expect to achieve as a result of our MOVE strategy are based on certain assumptions we have made, which assumptions may prove to be incorrect. We cannot provide any assurance we will be able to successfully execute our MOVE strategy, which is subject to a variety of risks, including the following:

A lower or slower than expected recovery in housing starts and non-residential construction spending;spending in the U.S.;

A slower or less significant recovery in any of our global markets than we expect;
Greater than expected declines in DoD tactical wheeled vehicle spending;

Our inability to design new products that meet our customers’ requirements and bring them to market in time to permit us to achieve the results that we are projecting under our MOVE strategy;
Our inability to adjust our cost structure in response to lower defense spending;

Greater than expected pressure on municipal budgets;

Our inability to raise prices to offset cost increases or increase margins;

The possibility that commodity cost escalations could erode profits;

Slow adoption of our products in emerging markets and/or our inability to successfully execute our emerging market growth strategy.

An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could negatively affect our operating results.

We have a substantial amount of goodwill and purchased intangible assets on our balance sheet as a result of acquisitions we have completed. At September30, 2012,2013, approximately 88% of these intangibles were concentrated in the access equipment segment. The carrying value of goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets represents the fair value of trademarks and trade names as of the acquisition date. We do not amortize goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that we expect to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows, but instead we evaluate these assets for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could result in impairment. In testing for impairment, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its current fair value as determined based on the discounted future cash flows of the reporting unit and market comparable sales and earnings multiples, the goodwill or intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value via a non-cash charge to earnings. Events and conditions that could result in impairment include a prolonged period of global economic weakness, and tight credit markets,a further decline in economic conditions or a slow, weak economic recovery, as well as sustained declines in the price of our common stock, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, adverse changes in the market share of our products; adverse changes in interest rates, or other factors leading to reductions in the long-term sales or profitability that we expect. This was the case in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, when we recorded a $9.0million non-cash pre-tax impairment charge related to a trade name in the access equipment segment. Determination of the fair value of a reporting unit includes developing estimates which are highly subjective and incorporate calculations that are sensitive to minor changes in underlying assumptions. Management's assumptions change as more information becomes available. Changes in these assumptions could result in an impairment charge in the future, which could have a significant adverse impact on our reported earnings.

Financing costs and restrictive covenants in our current debt facilities could limit our flexibility in managing our business and increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our credit agreement contains financial and restrictive covenants which, among other things, require us to satisfy quarter-end financial ratios, including a leverage ratio, a senior secured leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Our ability to meet the financial ratios in such covenants may be affected by a number of risks or events, including the risks described in this Current Report on Form 10-K and events beyond our control. The indenture governing our senior notes also contains restrictive covenants. Any failure by us to comply with these restrictive covenants or the financial and restrictive covenants in our credit agreement could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and debt service capability.

Our access to debt financing at competitive risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our credit ratings. Our current long-term debt ratings are BB with “negative” watch“positive” outlook from Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Ba3 with “stable” outlook from Moody's Investors Service. The downgrade from “stable” watch to “negative” watch by Standard & Poor's in October 2012 was directly related to the announcement of the unsolicited tender offer by Mr. Carl Icahn and related entities for any and all outstanding shares of our common stock. A downgrade to our credit ratings could increase our interest rates, could limit our access to public debt markets, could limit the institutions willing to provide us credit facilities, and could make any future credit facilities or credit facility amendments more costly and/or difficult to obtain.

We had $955 million of debt outstanding as of September30, 2012,2013, which consisted primarily of a $455 million term loan under our credit agreement maturing in October 2015 and $500 million of senior notes, $250 million of which mature in March 2017 and $250 million of which mature in March 2020. Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, political and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. As we discuss above, our dependency on contracts with U.S. and foreign government agencies subjects us to a variety of risks that, if realized, could materially reduce our revenues,

profits and cash flows. In addition, among other risks that we face that could affect our revenues, profits and cash flows, current continued economic uncertainty and declining U.S. defense budgets and tight credit markets could become more severe or prolonged.

19

Table of Contents

Accordingly, conditions could arise that could limit our ability to generate sufficient cash flows or access borrowings to enable us to fund our liquidity needs, further limit our financial flexibility or impair our ability to obtain alternative financing sufficient to repay our debt at maturity.

The covenants in our credit agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes, our credit rating, our current debt levels and the current credit market conditions could have important consequences for our operations, including:

Render us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions in our highly cyclical markets or economies generally;

Require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to interest costs or required payments on debt, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, stockshare repurchases, dividends and other general corporate activities;

Limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund growth working capital, capital expenditures, new product development expenses and other general corporate requirements;

Limit our ability to enter into additional foreign currency and interest rate derivative contracts;

Make us vulnerable to increases in interest rates as a portion of our debt under our credit agreement is at variable rates;

Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets we serve;

Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors; and

Limit our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions that may become available in our markets or otherwise capitalize on business opportunities if we had additional borrowing capacity.

Raw material price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

We purchase, directly and indirectly through component purchases, significant amounts of steel, aluminum, petroleum based products and other raw materials annually. Steel, aluminum, fuel and other commodity prices have historically been highly volatile. There are indications that costs for these items may increase in the future due to one or more of the following: a sustained economic recovery, political unrest in certain countries or a weakening U.S. dollar. Increases in commodity costs negatively impact the profitability of orders in backlog as prices on those orders are usually fixed. If we are not able to recover commodity cost increases through price increases to our customers on new orders, then such increases will have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to negotiate timely component cost decreases commensurate with any decrease in commodity costs, then our higher component prices could put us at a material disadvantage as compared to our competition.

Furthermore, in the defense segment, we largely do business in the defense segment under multi-year firm, fixed-price contracts with the DoD, which typically contain annual price increases. We attempt to limit the risk related to raw material price fluctuations in the defense segment by obtaining firm pricing from suppliers at the time a contract is awarded. However, if these suppliers do not honor their contracts, then we could face margin pressure in our defense business.

We expect to incur costs and charges as a result of measures such as facilities and operations consolidations and workforce reductions that we expect will reduce on-going costs, and those measures also may be disruptive to our business and may not result in anticipated cost savings.

We have been consolidating facilities and operations in an effort to make our business more efficient and expect to continue to review our overall manufacturing footprint. We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, to incur, additional costs and restructuring charges in connection with such consolidations, workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures that have adversely affected, and to the extent incurred in the future would adversely affect, our future earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, such actions may be disruptive to our business. This may result in production inefficiencies, product quality issues, late product deliveries or lost orders as we begin production at consolidated facilities, which would adversely impact our sales levels, operating results and operating margins. In addition, we may not realize the cost savings that we expect to realize as a result of such actions.

In January 2011,2013, we began the consolidation of Medtec Ambulance production into fire & emergency segment facilities in Bradenton, Florida. We had expected that the move of ambulance production from four separate facilities to a dedicated production facility in Florida would result in significantly improved performance. Despite efforts by numerous dedicated individuals and teams, the business continued to operate at a loss and it became apparent that the Medtec product line would not achieve profitability in a reasonable time frame, if at all, and as a result a decision was made to exit the business. Costs to exit this business may exceed our estimates and could adversely affect our future earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, such actions may be disruptiveimplemented significant reductions to our other businessesproduction and office workforce in the fire & emergency segment.

In October 2012, we announced the layoff of 450 full time employees and 40 contractors in theour defense segment effective January 2013. This action was in response to a reduction in production levels due to lower demand fromproduction levels mandated by the DoD.aforementioned significant reductions in U.S. government funding for our defense vehicles. We may incur additional costs and restructuring charges in connection with such workforce reductions that could adversely affect our future earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, such actions may be disruptive to our business.

We may experience losses in excess of our recorded reserves for doubtful accounts, finance receivables, notes receivable and guarantees of indebtedness of others.

As of September30, 2012,2013, we had consolidated gross receivables of $1.05 billion.$834.5 million. In addition, we were a party to agreements whereby we estimate our maximum exposure to be $94.6$91.8 million under guarantees of customer indebtedness to third parties aggregating approximately $363.8 million.$365.0 million. We evaluate the collectability of open accounts, finance receivables, notes receivable and our guarantees of indebtedness of others based on a combination of factors and establish reserves based on our estimates of potential losses. In circumstances where we believe it is probable that a specific customer will have difficulty meeting its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we expect to collect, and/or we recognize a liability for a guarantee we expect to pay, taking into account any amounts that we would anticipate realizing if we are forced to repossess the equipment that supports the customer's financial obligations to us. We also establish additional reserves based upon our perception of the quality of the current receivables, the current financial position of our customers and past collections experience. ContinuedProlonged or more severe economic weakness and tight credit markets may result in additional requirements for specific reserves. During periods of economic weakness, the collateral underlying our guarantees of indebtedness of customers or receivables can decline sharply, thereby increasing our exposure to losses. We also face a concentration of credit risk as the access equipment segment's ten largest debtors at September30, 20122013 represented approximately 26%28% of our consolidated gross receivables. Some of these customers are highly leveraged. We may incur losses in excess of our recorded reserves if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate further or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting our customers' financial obligations is not realized. Our cash flows and overall liquidity may be materially adversely affected if any of the financial institutions that finance our customer receivables become unable or unwilling, due to currentunfavorable economic conditions, a weakening of our or their financial position or otherwise, to continue providing such credit.

Systemic failures that the customer may identify could exceed recorded reserves or negatively affect our ability to win future business with the DoD or other foreign military customers.

As a result of the accelerated timetable from product design to full-scale production, the accelerated production schedule and limited field testing under the M-ATV contract and our rapid ramp up to full-scale production of FMTVs, these vehicles could encounter systemic failures during fielding and use of the vehicles for which we may have responsibility. Additionally, we did not design the FMTV portfolio of trucks and trailers, and the design for this portfolio includes requirements that have caused us to implement manufacturing processes that we have not used extensively under previous contracts. If we do not implement these manufacturing processes correctly, then there could be systemic failures for which we may have responsibility. We have established reserves for the estimated cost of such systemic-type repairs based upon historical warranty rates of other defense programs in which we participate. If systemic issues arise, rectification costs could be in excess of the established reserves. If the DoD identifies systemic issues, this situation could impact our ability to win future business with the DoD or other foreign military customers, which would adversely affect our future earnings and cash flows.

A disruption or termination of the supply of parts, materials, components and final assemblies from third-party suppliers could delay sales of our vehicles and vehicle bodies.

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, significant disruption or termination of the supply of some of our parts, materials, components and final assemblies that we obtain from sole source suppliers or subcontractors. We may also incur a significant increase in the cost of these parts, materials, components or final assemblies. These risks are increased in a weak economic environment with tight credit conditions and when demand increases coming out of an economic downturn. Such disruptions, terminations or cost increases have resulted and could further result in manufacturing inefficiencies due to us having to wait for parts to arrive on the production line, could delay sales and could result in a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

Our objective is to expand international operations and sales, the conduct of which subjects us to risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Expanding international operations and sales is a part of our growth strategy. Our outlook depends in part upon increases in international orders and sales that may not materialize. International operations and sales are subject to various risks, including political, religious and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade barriers, the impact of foreign government regulations and the effects of income and withholding taxes, governmental expropriation and differences in business practices. We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international manufacturing and sales that could cause loss of revenues and earnings. Among other things, there are additional logistical requirements associated with international sales, which increase the amount of time between the completion of vehicle production and our ability to recognize related revenue. In addition, expansion into foreign markets requires the establishment of distribution networks and may require modification of products to meet local requirements or preferences. Establishment of distribution networks or modification to the design of our products to meet local requirements and preferences may take longer or be more costly than we anticipate and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve international sales growth. In addition, our entry into certain markets that we wish to enter may require us to establish a joint venture. Identifying an appropriate joint venture partner and creating a joint venture could be more time consuming, more costly and more difficult than we anticipate.

As a result of our international operations and sales, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our international activities create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments in violation of the FCPA by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors, because these parties are not always subject to our control. Any violations of the FCPA could result in significant fines, criminal sanctions against us or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business, including our business with the U.S. government. We are also increasingly subject to export control regulations, including, without limitation, the United States Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory or business climate could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

We are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates associated with our non-U.S. operations that could adversely affect our results of operations and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods.

Approximately 22%21% of our net sales in fiscal 20122013 were attributable to products sold outside of the United States, including approximately 18% that involved export sales from the United States. The majority of export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Sales outside the United States are typically made in the local currencies of those countries. Fluctuations in foreign currency can have an adverse impact on our sales and profits as amounts that are measured in foreign currency are translated back to U.S. dollars. We have sales of inventory denominated in U.S. dollars to certain of our subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The exchange rates between many of these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly in recent years and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Such fluctuations, in particular those with respect to the Euro, the Chinese Renminbi, the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real and the Australian dollar, may have a material effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. Any appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency will adversely affect our revenues from our foreign operations when translated into U.S. dollars. Similarly, any appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the value of the local currency of those countries where our products are sold will increase our costs in our foreign operations, to the extent such costs are payable in foreign currency, when translated into U.S. dollars.

TableDisruptions or cost overruns in connection with the implementation of Contentsour global enterprise resource planning system could negatively affect our operations.

We are in the process of implementing a multi-year project to replace many of our existing operating and financial systems with a global enterprise resource planning system. The implementation of this system is a major undertaking, both financially and from a management and personnel perspective. Should the system not be implemented successfully and within budget, or if the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner, it could disrupt or otherwise adversely affect our operations and financial results, including our ability, among other things, to timely manufacture products for sale to our customers and to report accurate and timely financial results.

Changes in regulations could adversely affect our business.

Both our products and the operation of our manufacturing facilities are subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. These include environmental requirements applicable to manufacturing and vehicle emissions, government contracting regulations and domestic and international trade regulations. A significant change to these regulatory requirements could substantially increase manufacturing costs or impact the size or timing of demand for our products, all of which could make our business results more variable.

In particular, climate change is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which has led to significant legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Congress has previously considered and may in the future implement restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions through a cap-and-trade system under which emitters would be required to buy allowances to offset emissions of greenhouse gas. In addition, several states, including states where we have manufacturing plants, are considering various greenhouse gas registration and reduction programs. Our manufacturing plants use energy, including electricity and natural gas, and certain of our plants emit amounts of greenhouse gas that may be affected by these legislative and regulatory efforts. Greenhouse gas regulation could increase the price of the electricity we purchase, increase costs for our use of natural gas, potentially restrict access to or the use of natural gas, require us to purchase allowances to offset our own emissions or result in an overall increase in our costs of raw materials, any one of which could increase our costs, reduce our competitiveness in a global economy or otherwise negatively affect our business, operations or financial results.

In 2012, the SEC adopted disclosure requirements related to certain minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, as required by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rules impose diligence and disclosure obligations with respect to “conflict minerals,” defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, which are necessary to the functionality of a product manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by an SEC reporting company. Certain of these minerals, particularly gold, are used extensively in components manufactured by our suppliers (or in components incorporated by our suppliers into components supplied to us) for use in our vehicles or other products. If any “conflict minerals” that are necessary to the functionality of a product manufactured by an SEC reporting company originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country, the final rules require the issuer to prepare and file a report addressing its efforts to exercise due diligence on the source of such “conflict minerals” and their chain of custody. Our supply chain is complex. While we have no intention to use minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, we expect to incur significant costs to determine the source and custody of any “conflict minerals” necessary to the functionality of the products we manufacture. As mandated by DoD regulations, a significant number of our suppliers are small businesses, and those small businesses have limited or no resources to track their sources of minerals. As a result, we expect significant difficulty in verifying the origins for all “conflict minerals” used in our products and certifying that our products are “conflict free.” We may face reputational challenges if we are unable to verify the origins for all “conflict minerals” used in our products, or if we are unable to certify that our products are “conflict free.” Implementation of these rules may also affect the sourcing and availability of some minerals necessary to the manufacture of our products and may affect the availability and price of “conflict minerals” capable of certification as “conflict-free.” Accordingly, we may incur significant costs as a consequence of these rules, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Disruptions within our dealer network could adversely affect our business.

Although we sell the majority of our products directly to the end user, we market, sell and service products through a network of independent dealers in the fire & emergency segment and in a limited number of markets for the access equipment and commercial segments. As a result, our business with respect to these products is influenced by our ability to establish and manage new and existing relationships with dealers. While we have relatively low turnover of dealers, from time to time, we or a dealer may choose to terminate the relationship as a result of difficulties that our independent dealers experience in operating their businesses due to economic conditions or other factors, or as a result of an alleged failure by us or an independent dealer to comply with the terms of our dealer agreement. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single dealer, the loss of which would have a sustained material adverse effect upon our business. However, disruption of dealer coverage within a specific state or other geographic market could cause difficulties in marketing, selling or servicing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

In addition, our ability to terminate our relationship with a dealer is limited due to state dealer laws, which generally provide that a manufacturer may not terminate or refuse to renew a dealer agreement unless it has first provided the dealer with required notices. Under many state laws, dealers may protest termination notices or petition for relief from termination actions. Responding to these protests and petitions may cause us to incur costs and, in some instances, could lead to litigation resulting in lost opportunities with other dealers or lost sales opportunities, which may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Our business could be negatively affected as a result of an unsolicited tender offer and threatened proxy contest.

On October 17, 2012, Mr. Carl Icahn and related entities (the “Icahn Entities”) commenced an unsolicited tender offer for “any and all” issued and outstanding shares of our common stock for $32.50 per share in cash (the “Offer”). On October 26, 2012, the Icahn Entities also submitted to the Company a notice of intention to nominate a slate of candidates to replace the entire Board of Directors of the Company at the Company's 2013 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company's Board of Directors carefully reviewed the Offer, in consultation with the Company's financial and legal advisors, and unanimously determined that the Offer is inadequate, undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommended that the Company's shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their shares into the Offer.

These events may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition because, among other things:

Our review and consideration of the Offer, proxy contest and related actions by the Icahn Entities have been, and may continue to be, a significant distraction for our management and employees and have required, and may continue to require, our expenditure of significant time and resources. Costs associated with the Offer and related proxy contest may be substantial.

23



Perceived uncertainties among current and potential customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies as to our future direction as a consequence of these events may result in lost sales, weaker execution of our MOVE strategy and the loss of potential business opportunities and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.

Actions that our Board of Directors has taken, and may take in the future, in response to the Offer, proxy contest and related actions by the Icahn Entities or any other offer or proposal may result in litigation against us. These lawsuits may be a significant distraction for our management and employees and may require us to incur significant costs. Moreover, if determined adversely to us, these lawsuits could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We believe the future trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide price fluctuations based on uncertainty associated with the Offer and the related proxy contest. If the Icahn Entities consummate the Offer with the result that they become the owners of additional shares of our common stock or if Icahn Entities' nominees are elected such that they constitute a majority of our Board of Directors, then additional consequences are likely to follow that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition, the value of our shares of common stock or shareholders' interests in our company.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, shareholder, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental matters. As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles or reclaims certain industrial waste materials, chemicals, and solvents at third-party disposal and recycling facilities, which are licensed by appropriate governmental agencies. In some instances, these facilities have been and may be designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency for remediation. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state laws, each potentially responsible party (“PRP”) that contributed hazardous substances may be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with cleaning up these sites. Typically, PRPs negotiate a resolution with the EPA and/or the state environmental agencies. PRPs also negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup cost.

The Company had reserves of $2.01.9 million for environmental matters at September 30, 20122013 for losses that were probable and estimable. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Personal injury actions and other. At September 30, 20122013, the Company had net product and general liability reserves of $45.6 million. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims, after taking into account the liabilities accrued with respect to all such matters and claims, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

Executive Overview

Fiscal 2013 was a strong year for the Company, one that the Company believes demonstrated the power of the Company's MOVE strategy. Despite slightly lower revenues as a result of a 22.8% decline in defense segment sales, the Company recorded higher earnings and grew revenues in each of its non-defense segments and operating income margins in all of its segments. Full year earnings from continuing operations of $3.53 per share were $0.93 per share above the high end of the Company’s fiscal 2013 estimate of $2.60 per share that the Company conveyed at its September 2012 Analyst Day. Full year earnings included $0.12 per share in costs related to an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's Common Stock and a threatened proxy contest, a $0.06 per share non-cash impairment charge and a $0.03 per share charge related to the ratification of a five-year union contract extension in the defense segment, that were not included in the September 2012 Analyst Day estimate range. The Company also generated operating cash flows of $438 million and returned $202 million of capital to the Company’s shareholders through share repurchases.

Consolidated net sales increased $decreased 613.4$476.0 million, or 8.1%5.8%, to $8.18$7.67 billion in fiscal 20122013 compared to fiscal 2011.2012. Replacement driven demand in the access equipment segment, coupled with a slow economic recovery in the United States, resulted in a

However, the increase in sales in the Company's non-defense segments was not enough to overcome the decrease in defense sales, which the Company expected as U.S. defense spending for tactical wheeled vehicles declined and is expected to continue to decline for the next few years. has declined.

The decreaseincrease in consolidated operating income was primarilylargely attributable to the gross profit associated with higher sales in the Company's non-defense segments, improved performance in the Company's non-defense segments as a result of operational and processes improvements and price realization, along with higher margins in the defense segment which experiencedassociated with international sales and improved operational efficiencies. The Company continued to invest in new products, processes and systems to further the Company's MOVE strategy during fiscal 2013. Operating income in fiscal 2013 included costs of $16.3 million incurred by the Company in connection with an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's Common Stock and a shift from higher margin Familythreatened proxy contest, a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge in the access equipment segment of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (“FHTV”)$9.0 million and MRAPcharges of $3.8 million related to the ratification of a five-year union contract extension in the defense segment. Operating income in fiscal 2012 included costs incurred by the Company in connection with a proxy contest of $6.6 million.

During fiscal 2013, the defense segment rightsized its production and salaried workforces consistent with substantially reduced DoD demand. The defense segment also delivered 22 Light Combat All-Terrain Vehicle (“M-ATV”L-ATV”) parts salestest vehicles to lower margin Familythe DoD under the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (“JLTV”) Engineering, Manufacturing & Development ("EMD") contract.

The Company expects these M-ATVs to be soldconsolidated sales will decrease between 10% and 14% in fiscal 2013.2014 compared to fiscal 2013, resulting in consolidated sales of between $6.6 billion and $6.9 billion. This order reinforcesestimate assumes higher sales in the Company's belief that there are significant opportunities for international salesnon-defense segments as a result of the M-ATV and other Oshkosh defense vehicles over the next few years. The Company has been forward deploying business development teamsexpected continued economic recovery around the world coupled with an approximate 40% decline in defense segment sales. The Company expects consolidated operating income will be in the range of $455 million to pursue these opportunities.$490 million leading to earnings per share of approximately $3.10 to $3.40.

In the fire & emergency segment, the Company exited several small, underperforming businesses in fiscal 2012 to allow the Company to focus its resources on improving the performance of its principal product lines in this segment. The exited businesses included the discontinuance of domestic mobile medical trailer production and the saleAs a result of the Company's European mobile medical trailer business, Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles (UK), Limitedstrong financial performance in fiscal 2013, execution of the Company's MOVE strategy and AK Specialty Vehicles and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together, "SMIT"). In addition,positive outlook, the Company madehas reinstated payment of a decision in the fourth quarterquarterly cash dividend by declaring a dividend of fiscal 2012$0.15 per share payable December 2, 2013 to exit its Medtec ambulance business. The Company had expected that the moveshareholders of ambulance production from four separate facilities to a dedicated production facility in Florida would result in significantly improved performance. Despite efforts by numerous dedicated individuals and teams, the business continued to operate at a loss and it became apparent that the Medtec product line would not achieve profitability in a reasonable time frame, if at all, and as a result, the Company made a decision to exit the business. Upon completion of on-hand Medtec orders, the Company will exit the ambulance business and reclassify Medtec historical operating results to discontinued operations. With the decision made to exit these businesses, the Company was able to focusrecord on improving operational performance of its principal product lines, which drove the fire & emergency segment to operating income of $0.9 million, or 0.4% of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.November 18, 2013.

MOVE Strategy

In fiscal 2011, the Company completed a comprehensive strategic planning process to, among other things, assess the outlook for each of its markets, consider strategic alternatives and develop strategic initiatives to address the current difficult market forces then facing the Company. Those difficult market forces involved non-defense markets, which were down 40% to more than 90% from peak, an uncertain economic recovery and a likely sharp downturn in U.S. defense spending beginning in 2011. The study culminated in the creation of the Company’s planned roadmap to deliver superior long-term earnings growth and increased shareholder value over the next business cycle and beyond. The Company’s roadmap, named MOVE, entails aggressive cost reduction and prudent organic growth initiatives until a market recovery provides an opportunity for both significant earnings leverage and cash flow at which time the Company's strategic options could expand. By focusing on its MOVE strategy, the Company is targeting earnings per share of $4.00 to $4.50 in fiscal 2015.

The MOVE strategy consists of four key strategic initiatives:
Market recovery and growth — The Company believes that the recovery in certain of its non-defense markets began in fiscal 2012. The Company has plans to capture or improve its historical share of a market recovery. The Company believesestimated in September 2012 that even a modest market recovery represents a $220 million operating income opportunity in its non-defense businesses between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2015 at historical margins and assuming no major market share gains. The Company believes that the recovery in certain of its non-defense markets began in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, the Company experienced continued improvement in the North American access equipment market and in the U.S. concrete mixer market. In addition, quoting activity and orders for fire apparatus increased late in fiscal 2013. The European and Australian access equipment markets underperformed expectations in fiscal 2013 and the Company currently believes that this initiative is on pace to finish below the fiscal 2015 target of $220 million incremental operating income, due to expected weaker recovery in certain markets compared to its September 2012 estimates.
Optimize cost and capital structure — The Company is executing plans to optimize its cost and capital structure ("O" initiative) to provide value for customers and shareholders by aggressively attacking its product, process and overhead costs. The Company is targetinghas targeted 250 basis points of operating income improvement between fiscal 2012 and 2015 through this initiative. The Company achieved an eightmade good progress on the Company’s “O” initiative in fiscal 2013, which contributed to a 430 basis point improvementincrease in operating income margins in the Company's largest segment, access equipment. The Company expects to exceed its fiscal 2012 from this initiative and2015 consolidated operating income margin improvement target of 250 basis

The Company hasis also announcedexecuting a prudent capital allocation strategy, to be implemented over the next several years, which the Company expects to incrementally benefit earnings as well as returns for shareholders. ToAs part of this effect,strategy, the Company repurchased 546,965approximately 6.1 million shares of its Common Stock during the fourth quarter of fiscal 20122013 at aan aggregate cost of $13.3$201.8 million.

Subsequent to the Company's stock repurchase authorization such thatend of its fiscal year, the Company had authorityannounced as part of its capital allocation strategy that it was reinstating a quarterly cash dividend by declaring a dividend of $0.15 per share payable on December 2, 2013 to repurchase 11,000,000 sharesshareholders of Common Stock after the Board action. The Company is targeting spending $300 million to repurchase shares over the 12 torecord on November 18, months following that date and expects to spend at least $75 million to repurchase shares over the three months following that date.

Value innovation — The Company planshas maintained its emphasis on new product development as it seeks to further strengthenexpand sales and margins by leading its multi-generational product plans, which incorporate its newest technologies, to drive increased demand forcore markets in the Company'sintroduction of new or improved products and increased penetration into new markets globally.technologies. The Company is targetinghas targeted this initiative to achieve $350 million of incremental annual revenue by fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2012 as a result of2012. The Company’s value innovation initiative did not meet the Company’s target for incremental revenue from new products in fiscal 2013. The Company made engineering management changes mid-year, re-allocated resources and made structural changes to the Company’s product development stage gate review process to bring this initiative.initiative back on track. The Company expects that its countermeasures will drive incremental new product launches in fiscal 2014 and 2015 and expects this initiative to be back on target by fiscal 2015.
Emerging market expansion — The Company plans to driveis driving expansion in targeted international targeted geographies where it believes that there are significant opportunities for growth. The CompanyCompany's target is targeting to derive more than 25% of its revenues from outside the U.S. by fiscal 2015. The Company achieved its fiscal 2013 target for international sales. The Company has continued to invest in international business development resources and believes it is on track to achieving its fiscal 2015 target.

The Company is in the early stages of implementing many of its MOVE initiatives. The Company expects the investments that it made in its MOVE strategy in fiscal 2012 to drive an improved cost structure, support the Company's drive for continued product innovation leadership and expand the Company's international sales in future years. As a result of the MOVE strategy, in fiscal 2012 the Company was able to capture a larger portion of the access equipment recovery, turn the FMTV contract to profitability in all four fiscal quarters, exit underperforming businesses and increase international sales by 38% compared to fiscal 2011 to 21.8% of consolidated sales. These actions led to Oshkosh significantly beating Wall Street consensus earnings estimates for each quarter of fiscal 2012. Over the next few years, the Company believes the effectivesuccessful execution of its MOVE strategy will permitsignificantly contributed to the Company's strong financial results in fiscal 2013. The Company to overcomeraised its fiscal 2013 performance outlook several times during fiscal 2013 and ultimately exceeded the impact of lower U.S. defense spending for tactical wheeled vehicles on its defense segment and report strong earnings growth and improved returns for shareholders.

The benefitshigh end of the MOVE strategy are evident in the Company's outlook forCompany’s fiscal 2013 as despite a projected decrease in consolidated salesestimate of 4% to 8% as compared to fiscal 2012, the Company expects operating income margins to improve 100 basis points. The Company's sales estimate assumes stable to slightly higher sales in its non-defense segments, as a result of a slow economic recovery in the United States, coupled with an approximate 15% decline in defense segment sales. The improved operating income margins lead the Company to believe that earnings from continuing operations will be $2.35 to $2.60 per share in fiscal 2013. This estimate does not consider any costs, which may be substantial, associated withthat the Offer (as defined below) and related threatened proxy contest discussed below. TheCompany conveyed at its September 2012 Analyst Day by $0.93 per share. By focusing on its MOVE strategy, the Company believes that, in the aggregate, it is on track to achieve its first quarter of fiscal 2013 will be the lowest quarter of the year in terms of sales and2015 targeted earnings per share driven by seasonalityrange of the Company's non-defense businesses and the expectation that$4.00 to $4.50, while the Company will not beginis executing countermeasures to recognize revenue from M-ATV salesdrive certain initiatives that are behind schedule to the UAE until the second fiscal quarter.

On October 17, 2012, Mr. Carl Icahn and related entities (the “Icahn Entities”) commenced an unsolicited tender offer for “any and all” issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (the “Offer”). On October 26, 2012, the Icahn Entities also submitted to the Company a notice of intent to nominate a slate of candidates to replace the entire Board of Directors of the Company at the Company's 2013 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company's Board of Directors carefully reviewed the Offer, in consultation with the Company's financial and legal advisors, and unanimously determined that the Offer is inadequate, undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommended that the Company's shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their shares into the Offer. The Company expects to incur significant costs in connection with the Offer and threatened proxy contest.become back on target.

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Consolidated net sales decreased $476.0 million, or 5.8%, to $7.67 billion in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due to an expected decline in defense segment sales. Sales increased in all non-defense segments in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012.

Access equipment segment net sales increased $201.3 million, or 6.9%, to $3.12 billion in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Access equipment segment sales in fiscal 2012 included $125.1 million of inter-company sales to the defense segment. Access equipment segment sales to external customers in fiscal 2013 increased $326.4 million, or 11.7%, compared to fiscal 2012. Access equipment segment sales to external customers increased principally as a result of higher unit volumes (up $198 million), the realization of previously announced price increases (up $90 million) and improved aftermarket sales (up $50 million).

Defense segment net sales decreased $900.8 million, or 22.8%, to $3.05 billion in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The decrease in defense segment sales was primarily due to lower M-ATV aftermarket parts & service sales (down $545 million), lower shipments under the Company's existing programs of record (down $436 million) as the DoD is nearing its acquisition objective quantities for these programs, the completion of the M-ATV contract for the DoD in fiscal 2012 (down $222 million), and lower non-M-ATV aftermarket parts sales (down $95 million), offset in part by increased sales to international customers (up $398 million).

Fire & emergency segment net sales increased $23.8 million, or 3.1%, to $792.4 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The increase in fire & emergency segment sales primarily reflected the sale of a higher percentage of units built on custom built chassis, which have higher prices than units built on commercial chassis (up $58 million) and the realization of previously announced price increases (up $18 million), offset in part by lower unit sales volume (down $59 million).

Commercial segment net sales increased $69.9 million, or 10.0%, to $766.9 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The increase in commercial segment sales was primarily attributable to increased concrete placement products volume due to increased demand in the concrete mixer market (up $115 million) and improved aftermarket parts & service sales (up $27 million), offset in part by lower refuse collection vehicle volume (down $59 million).

Fiscal 2012 Compared to Fiscal 2011

Consolidated net sales increased $613.4602.6 million, or 8.1%8.0%, to $8.188.14 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011 as replacement driven demand in the access equipment segment, coupled with a slow economic recovery in the United States, resulted in a significant increase in sales in both the access equipment and commercial segments, which more than offset an expected decline in defense sales.

Access equipment segment net sales increased $867.4 million, or 42.3%, to $2.92 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. Sales to external customers totaled $2.79 billion in fiscal 2012, a 43.7% increase compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in sales to external customers was principally as a result of higher unit volumes ($671.3(up $671 million) and the realization of previously announced price increases ($101.7(up $102 million). Sales grew by double-digit percentages compared to the prior year in all major regions of the globe, with the largest increase in North America, driven largely by demand for replacement of aged equipment.

Table of Contents

Defense segment net sales decreased $414.7 million, or 9.5%, to $3.95 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. The decrease in sales was primarily due to a 48% decline in FHTVFamily of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (“FHTV”) units and lower aftermarket parts sales primarily resulting from fewer spares kits for M-ATVs ($596.6(down $597 million), offset in part by a 162% increase in sales of FMTVFamily of Medium Tactical Vehicle ("FMTV") trucks and trailers. The Company reached and sustained full rate production under the FMTV contract during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Fire & emergency segment net sales increased $25.314.5 million, or 3.2%1.9%, to $808.4768.6 million in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in sales primarily reflected the delivery of Rapid Intervention Vehicles under a contract with the United States Air Force.

Commercial segment net sales increased $132.1 million, or 23.4%, to $697.0 million in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to a 52% increase in concrete placement vehicle volume compared to very low prior year volume and increased demand for aftermarket parts and services ($26.9(up $27 million), offset in part by lower intersegment sales to the defense segment ($39.1(down $39 million).

Fiscal 2011 Compared to Fiscal 2010

Consolidated net sales decreased $2.25 billion, or 22.9%, to $7.57 billion in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 largely due to the expected decrease in sales under the M-ATV contract, offset in part by increased demand for access equipment and sales under the start-up of the FMTV program. In fiscal 2010, the Company's defense sales increased sharply as the DoD rushed M-ATVs and related spares kits into Afghanistan to protect U.S. troops from improvised explosive devices.

Access equipment segment net sales decreased $959.8 million, or 31.9%, to $2.05 billion in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. Sales in fiscal 2011 included $0.11 billion in intersegment M-ATV related sales compared to $1.73 billion in fiscal 2010. Sales to external customers totaled $1.94 billion in fiscal 2011, a 53.5% increase compared to fiscal 2010. The increase in sales to external customers compared with the prior year period was primarily a result of higher replacement of aged equipment in North America (up 88%) and parts of Europe (up 44%).

Table of Contents

Defense segment net sales decreased $2.80 billion, or 39.0%, to $4.37 billion in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. The decrease in sales was primarily due to the completion of initial M-ATV production requirements. The start-up of FMTV production added $548.8 million in sales during fiscal 2011, offsetting some of the M-ATV sales decrease. Combined vehicle and parts and services sales related to the M-ATV program totaled $1.25 billion in fiscal 2011, a decrease of $3.24 billion compared to the prior year.

Fire & emergency segment net sales decreased $111.1 million, or 12.4%, to $783.1 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. The decrease in sales reflected a $120.3 million decrease in fire apparatus volume due to soft demand attributable to weak municipal spending in the U.S.

Commercial segment net sales decreased $57.2 million, or 9.2%, to $564.9 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. The decrease in sales was primarily the result of a $56.1 million decline in refuse collection vehicles volume due to lower volume with large waste haulers.

Consolidated Cost of Sales — Three Years Ended September 30, 2013

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Consolidated cost of sales was $6.47 billion, or 84.5% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $7.13 billion, or 87.6% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The 310 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to higher sales prices (160 basis points) and favorable product mix (140 basis points) largely as a result of a higher mix of M-ATVs, which have higher margins and lower relative costs of sales, and improved performance on the FMTV contract in the defense segment (90 basis points), offset in part by lower absorption of fixed costs associated with lower sales volumes (90 basis points) in the defense segment.

Fiscal 2012 Compared to Fiscal 2011

Consolidated cost of sales was $7.197.13 billion, or 87.9%87.6% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to $6.496.45 billion, or 85.8%85.5% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The 210 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2012 was primarily due to adverse product mix, largely in the defense segment, as a result of the shift in mix of unit sales volume from M-ATVs and FHTVs, which have higher margins and lower relative cost of sales, to FMTVs, which have lower-margins and higher relative cost of sales (290 basis points), and higher material costscost increases (110 basis points), offset in part by the realization of price increases (130 basis points) and higher absorption of fixed costs associated with higher sales (100 basis points).

Fiscal 2011 Compared to Fiscal 2010

Consolidated cost of sales was $6.49 billion, or 85.8% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $7.85 billion, or 79.9% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The 590 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year was generally due to adverse product mix (290 basis points), under absorption of fixed costs and inefficiencies associated with lower sales and restructuring actions (100 basis points) and higher new product development spending (90 basis points).

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Consolidated operating income increased 30.4%, to $505.7 million, or 6.6% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $387.7 million, or 4.8% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The increase in consolidated operating income was largely attributable to the gross profit associated with higher sales in the Company's non-defense segments, improved performance in the Company's non-defense segments as a result of operational and processes improvements and price realization, along with higher margins in the defense segment associated with international sales of M-ATVs. Operating income in fiscal 2013 included costs of $16.3 million incurred by the Company in connection with an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's Common Stock and a threatened proxy contest, a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge in the access equipment segment of $9.0 million and charges of $3.8 million related to the ratification of a five-year union contract extension in the defense segment. Operating income in fiscal 2012 included costs incurred by the Company in connection with a proxy contest of $6.6 million.

Access equipment segment operating income increased 65.6% to $379.6 million, or 12.2% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $229.2 million, or 7.9% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of the realization of previously announced price increases (up $90 million), the gross profit associated with higher sales volume (up $36 million), as well as product and process cost reductions (up $32 million), offset in part by the absence of intercompany sales to the defense segment.

Defense segment operating income decreased 4.9% to $224.9 million, or 7.4% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $236.5 million, or 6.0% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The decrease in operating income was largely due to lower gross profit on lower sales volume, offset in part by the timing of contractual price increases (up $25 million) and operational improvements (up $29 million). In addition, the defense segment recorded favorable contract adjustments related to undefinitized contracts of $13.8 million in fiscal 2013 as compared to $7.8 million in fiscal 2012.

Fire & emergency segment operating income increased 169.9% to $23.8 million, or 3.0% of sales, in fiscal 2013, compared to $8.8 million, or 1.1% of sales, in fiscal 2012. Operating results for fiscal 2013 were positively impacted by improved price realization (up $18 million), favorable product mix as a result of increased custom content (up $7 million) and product and process cost reductions (up $2 million), offset in part by lower gross profit associated with lower unit sales volume.

Commercial segment operating income increased 28.8% to $41.3 million, or 5.4% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $32.1 million, or 4.6% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily a result of the gross margin associated with higher sales volume, offset in part by restructuring-related costs of $2.5 million.

Corporate operating expenses increased $44.8 million to $163.9 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012, largely due to costs related to an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's Common Stock and threatened proxy contest, which were $10 million higher than costs for a proxy contest in fiscal 2012, an increase in incentive, share-based compensation costs (up $12 million) due in part to the impact of a significantly higher share price on variable awards, higher information technology spending (up $11 million) and investments in research & development spending (up $2 million).

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.5% to $620.5 million, or 8.1% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to $561.5 million, or 6.9% of sales, in fiscal 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to higher variable incentive compensation expense (up $16 million) on improved financial results, costs related to an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's Common Stock and threatened proxy contest ($10 million higher than costs for a proxy contest in fiscal 2012) and an increase in share-based compensation expense (up $12 million) due in part to the impact of a significantly higher share price on variable awards. The increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was largely due to a shift in sales to segments that have a higher percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company’s defense segment generally has lower selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales compared to its other segments, in large part due to concentration of business with the DoD. For example, the defense segment has limited sales and marketing costs and has operations/locations primarily in the United States, as compared to the Company’s access equipment segment, which has a diverse customer base with a significant number of customers, significant sales and marketing costs and operations/locations in various regions of the world. As the Company’s defense segment sales decreased and the Company’s non-defense segment sales increased, consolidated selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales increased.

Access equipment segment operating income increased 251.1% to $229.2 million, or 7.9% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to $65.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The improvement in operating income was primarily the result of higher sales volumes and improved price realization ($101.7(up $102 million), and gross profit associated with higher sales volumes, offset in part by higher material costs ($94.1(down $94 million) and increased product development spending ($20.7(down $21 million).

Defense segment operating income decreased 56.4% to $236.5 million, or 6.0% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to $543.0$543.0 million,, or 12.4% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of adverse changes in product mix. Although the FMTV program was profitable in each quarter of fiscal 2012, margins on this program were significantly below the Company's historical margin levels of most other programs in the defense segment, and the Company expects that margins will remain low through the life of the five-year contract.

The fireFire & emergency segment reported an operating loss ofincome decreased 48.0% to $12.98.8 million, or 1.6%1.1% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to an operating loss of $1.117.0 million, or 0.1%2.3% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The increasedecrease in the operating lossincome was primarily the result of additional losses relatedincreased warranty costs and unfavorable margins on intercompany sales to the Company's Medtec ambulance business, which the Company announced in July 2012 it would close. The Company had expected that the move of ambulance production from four separate facilities to a dedicated production facility in Florida in April 2011 would result in significantly improved performance. Despite efforts by numerous dedicated individuals and teams, the Medtec business continued to operate at a loss and it became apparent that the Medtec product line would not achieve profitability in a reasonable time frame, if at all, and as a result, the Company decided to exit the business. The Company expects to discontinue production of ambulances in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 following completion of units currently in backlog.defense segment.

Commercial segment operating income increased 717.9% to $32.1 million, or 4.6% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to $3.9 million, or 0.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The increase in operating income primarily resulted from improved sales volumes, the realization of price increases in excess of higher material costs ($15.8(up $16 million), as the segment continued to recover material cost increases incurred in fiscal 2011, as well as an increased volume of higher priced compressed natural gas vehicles, and improved absorption of overhead on higher sales volume, offset in part by the restoration of higher employee pay and benefits that had been eliminated during the Great Recession.

Corporate operating expenses increased $$12.0 million to $$119.1 million in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011, largely due to $6.6 million of costs related to the proxy contest in connection with the Company's 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, higher share-based compensation costs and additional incentive compensation costs, offset in part by cost reductions.

Intersegment profit of $$4.0 million in fiscal 2011 resulted from profit on intersegment sales (largely M-ATV related sales between access equipment and defense). When the purchasing segment sells the inventory to an outside party, profits earned by the selling segment are recorded in consolidated earnings through intersegment profit eliminations.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11.5% to $567.3561.5 million, or 6.9% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to $509.0503.9 million, or 6.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to higher salaries and fringe benefits ($24.2(up $24 million) principally in the Company's access equipment segment as a result of the sales growth that it experienced, investmentsinvestment in the Company's MOVE strategy initiatives and costs related to the proxy contest in connection with the Company's 2012 annual meeting of shareholders ($6.6 million).of $6.6 million. The increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was largely due to a shift in sales to segments that have a higher percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company’s defense segment generally has lower selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales compared to its other segments, in large part due to concentration of business with the DoD. For example, the defense segment has limited sales and marketing costs and has operations/locations primarily in the United States, as compared to the Company’s access equipment segment, which has a diverse customer base with a significant number of customers, significant sales and marketing costs and operations/locations in various regions of the world. As the Company’s defense segment sales decreased and the Company’s access equipment and commercial segments sales increased, consolidated selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales increased.

Fiscal 2011 Compared to Fiscal 2010

Consolidated operating income decreased 64.3%, to $508.0 million, or 6.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $1.42 billion, or 14.5% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income was primarily the result of lower sales volumes and a shift from higher margin M-ATV sales to loss generating FMTV sales in the defense segment. Operating income in fiscal 2011 and 2010 included pre-tax, non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets of $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Access equipment segment operating income decreased 32.9% to $65.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $97.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decline in operating results was due to the decrease in intersegment M-ATV related sales and higher material costs ($37.0 million), offset in part by higher sales to external customers and the reversal of provisions for credit losses of $11.2 million, primarily related to a customer settlement of a credit exposure compared to a provision for credit losses of $13.3 million in the prior year. In the prior year, the access equipment segment recognized $1.73 billion of intersegment M-ATV related sales at mid single-digit margins compared to intersegment M-ATV related sales of $0.11 billion at similar margins in fiscal 2011.

Defense segment operating income decreased 58.9% to $543.0 million, or 12.4% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $1.32 billion, or 18.4% of sales, in fiscal 2010.

The decrease in operating income largely reflected lower sales volumes along with restructuring charges and other costs related to the Company’s plans to rationalize and optimize its global manufacturing footprint ($12.4 million).

Commercial segment operating income decreased 79.8% to $3.9 million, or 0.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $19.4 million, or 3.1% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income was largely a result of lower sales volumes, a LIFO inventory charge of $2.5 million in fiscal 2011 compared to a $1.7 million LIFO credit in fiscal 2010 and the restoration of some employee pay and benefits.

Corporate operating expenses increased $8.1 million to $107.1 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, largely due to the Company’s investments to support its growth initiatives for fiscal 2012 and beyond.

Intersegment profit of $4.0 million in fiscal 2011 resulted from profit on intersegment sales between segments (largely M-ATV related sales between access equipment and defense). When the purchasing segment sells the inventory to an outside party, profits earned by the selling segment are recorded in consolidated earnings through intersegment profit eliminations.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5.2% to $509.0 million, or 6.7% of sales, in fiscal 2011 compared to $483.9 million, or 4.9% of sales, in fiscal 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to higher salaries and fringe benefits in part due to elimination of certain employee furloughs and restoration of employee benefits ($21.1 million), outside services ($20.3 million) and travel ($6.8 million), offset in part by a lower provision for credit losses ($25.3 million). Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased largely due to lower sales in fiscal 2011.

The Company's cash flow from operations has fluctuated, and will likely continue to fluctuate, significantly from quarter to quarter due to the start-up or conclusion of large defense contracts and the timing of receipt of individually large performance-based payments from the DoD, as well as changes in working capital requirements arising principally from seasonal fluctuations in sales.

Consolidated days sales outstanding (defined as “Trade Receivables” at quarter end divided by “Net Sales” for the most recent quarter multiplied by 90 days) decreased from 45 days at September 30, 2011 to 43 days at September 30, 2012. Days sales outstanding for segments other than the defense segment were 52 days at September 30, 2012, down from 57 days at September 30, 2011. The decrease in days sales outstanding was primarily due to improvements in collections in the access equipment segment. Consolidated inventory turns (defined as “Cost of Sales” divided by the average “Inventory” at the past five quarter end periods) increased from 5.5 times at September 30, 2011 to 6.0 times at September 30, 2012. The increase in inventory turns was primarily due to improvements in the manufacturing process as a result of applying continuous improvement and lean practices utilizing the Oshkosh Operating System.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned, when services have been rendered. Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

Table of Contents


Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial products manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government. Under the units-of-delivery measure, the Company records sales as units are accepted by the DoD based on unit sales values stated in the respective contracts. Costs of sales are based on actual costs incurred to produce the units delivered under the contract. The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified. Approximately 37%31% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal 20122013 were recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method.

The Company accounts for certain equipment lease contracts as sales-type leases. The present value of all payments, net of executory costs (such as legal fees), is recorded as revenue, the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales, certain profit is deferred in accordance with lease accounting rules and interest income is recognized over the terms of the leases using the effective interest method.

The Company enters into rental purchase guarantee agreements with some of its customers. These agreements are normally for a term of no greater than twelve months and provide for rental payments with a guaranteed purchase at the end of the agreement. At the inception of the agreement, the Company records the full amount due under the agreement as revenue and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales.

Sales Incentives. The terms for sales transactions with some of the Company’s distributors and customers may include specific volume-based incentives, which are calculated and paid or credited on account as a percentage of actual sales. The Company accounts for these incentives as sales discounts at the time of revenue recognition, which are recorded as a direct reduction of sales. The Company reviews its accrual for sales incentives on a quarterly basis and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible Assets. The Company performs impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current operations.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Such circumstances include a significant adverse change in the business climate for one of the Company's reporting units, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. The Company performs its annual review at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. See “Critical Accounting Estimates.”

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the fair value of the businesses to which the goodwill relates. A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business. When the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, a further analysis is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of indefinite-lived trade names based upon a “relief from royalty” method. This methodology determines the fair value of each trade name through use of a discounted cash flow model that incorporates an estimated “royalty rate” the Company would be able to charge a third party for the use of the particular trade name. In determining the estimated future cash flows, the Company considers projected future sales, a fair market royalty rate for each applicable trade name and an appropriate discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows. During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized an impairment of a trade name in the access equipment segment of $9.0 million.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible Assets.The Company cannot predictperforms impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. When the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affectestimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of goodwillthe long-lived assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Such events may include, but are not limiteda charge is recorded to the impact of the economic environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. See “Critical Accounting Estimates.”current operations.

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others. The Company enters into agreements with finance companies whereby the Company will guarantee the indebtedness of third-party end-users to whom the finance company lends to purchase the Company’s equipment. In some instances, the Company retains an obligation to the finance companies in the event the customer defaults on the financing. In accordance with FASB ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification

position of the underlying customers and based on estimates and judgments made from information available at that time. If the Company becomes aware of deterioration in the financial condition of the customer/borrower or of any impairment of the customer/borrower’s ability to make payments, additional allowances are considered. Although the Company may be liable for the entire amount of a customer/borrower’s financial obligation under guarantees, its losses would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral including financed equipment, the finance company’s inability to provide clear title of foreclosed equipment to the Company, loss pools established in accordance with the agreements and other conditions. During periods of economic downturn, the value of the underlying collateral supporting these guarantees can decline sharply to further increase losses in the event of a customer/borrower’s default.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is based on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in conformityaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). PreparationThe preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates and updates its estimates. Management employs judgment in making its estimates but they are based on historical experience and currently available information and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that its judgment is applied consistently and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of the Company has discussed the development and selection of the following critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s disclosures relating to such estimates in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”operations for all periods presented.

Definitization of Undefinitized Contracts. The Company recognizes revenue on undefinitized contracts with the DoD to the extent that it can reasonably and reliably estimate the expected final contract price and when collectability is reasonably assured. Undefinitized contracts are used when the Company and the DoD have not agreed upon all contract terms before the Company begins performance under the contracts. At September 30, 2012,2013, the Company had recorded $83.45.1 million in revenue on contracts that remain undefinitized. To the extent that contract definitization results in changes or adjustments to previously recognized revenues or estimated or incurred costs, including charges from subcontractors, the Company records those adjustments as a change in estimate in the period of change. The Company definitized certain defense segment contracts during fiscal 2012 and recorded operating income of $7.8 million related to previously recorded revenue. As the costs associated with these contracts had been previously expensed, the change increased net income by $5.0 million or $0.05 per share. In fiscal 2011, the Company updated its estimated costs under several undefinitized change orders and recorded $1.8$13.8 million and $7.8 million of operating incomerevenue related to such updates.updates during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. As allthe majority of costs associated with these contracts had previously been previously expensed, the changedefinitization of contracts increased net income by $1.2$6.6 million, or $0.01$0.07 per share.share, and $5.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s trade receivables are recorded. The Company evaluates the collectability of receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additional reserves are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the current receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and underlying economic conditions. At September 30, 2013, reserves for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable totaled $20.4 million. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

GoodwillInventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”) value. In valuing inventory, the Company is required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves required to value potentially obsolete or over-valued items. These assumptions require the Company to analyze the aging of and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets.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 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. The valuation of used equipment taken in trade from customers requires the Company to use the best information available to determine the value of the equipment to potential customers. This value is subject to change based on numerous conditions. Inventory reserves are established taking into account age, frequency of use, or sale, and in the case of repair parts, the installed base of machines. While calculations are made involving these factors, significant management judgment regarding expectations

for future events is involved. Future events that could significantly influence our judgment and related estimates include general economic conditions in markets where the Company's products are sold, new equipment price fluctuations, actions of the Company's competitors, including the introduction of new products and technological advances. The Company makes adjustments to its inventory reserves based on the identification of specific situations and increases its inventory reserves accordingly. At September 30, 2013, reserves for LCM, excess and obsolete inventory totaled $79.5 million.

Goodwill. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. The estimate of the fair value of the reporting units is generally determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows and a market approach. In estimating the fair value, management must make assumptions and projections regarding such items as the Company performance and profitability under existing contracts, its success in securing future business, the appropriate risk-adjusted interest rate used to discount the projected cash flows, future revenues, futureand terminal value growth and earnings and other factors.rates. The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of each reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions.

The rate used to discount estimated cash flows is a rate corresponding to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and is dependent upon interest rates at a point in time. To assess the reasonableness of the discounted projected cash flows, the Company compares the sum of its reporting units' fair value to the Company's market capitalization and calculates an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair values over the market capitalization). The reasonableness of this control premium is evaluated by comparing it to control premiums for recent comparable market transactions. Consistent with prior years, the Company weighted the income approach more heavily (75%) as the income approach uses long-term estimates that consider the expected operating profit of each reporting unit during periods where residential and non-residential construction and other macroeconomic indicators are nearer historical averages. The Company believes the income approach more accurately considers the expected recovery in the U.S. and European construction markets than the market approach. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner to cause further impairment of goodwill, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Table The Company completed the required goodwill impairment test as of ContentsJuly 1, 2013. The Company identified no indicators of goodwill impairment in the test performed as of July 1, 2013. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of any quantitative fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of any reporting unit was calculated. This hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in excess fair value over carrying value for the reporting units as of July 1, 2013.


At July 1, 2012, approximatelyApproximately 88% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived purchased intangibles wereare concentrated within the JLG reporting unit in the access equipment segment. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy and construction spending (and hence access equipment demand) will continue its slow improvement.to slowly improve through fiscal 2015. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the most recent recession and the subjective assumptions regarding a recovery. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.judgmental. While the Company currently believes that an impairment of intangible assets at JLG is unlikely, events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at JLG include a sharp decline in economic conditions, pricing pressure on JLG's margins or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at JLG.

At July 1, 2012, approximately 7% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived purchased intangibles were concentrated within the Pierce reporting unit in the fire & emergency segment. This reporting unit has been severely impacted by the decrease in municipal revenue during the past two years. The Company believes that municipal demand is stabilizing as its municipal orders increased in fiscal 2012. The Company expects Pierce sales to decline in fiscal 2013 as federal demand is expected to bottom and that Pierce sales will begin a slow recovery starting in fiscal 2014 as municipal demand continues to rebound. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy will continue its slow improvement, reversing the recent trend of decreasing municipal tax revenues. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the most recent recession and the subjective assumptions regarding a recovery. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results. While the Company currently believes that an impairment of intangible assets at Pierce is unlikely, events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at Pierce include a further decline in economic conditions or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at Pierce.

The Company has no other reporting units that have material amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that are at risk of impairment.

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others. The reserve for guarantees of the indebtedness of others requires management to estimate a customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. The estimate is particularly critical in the Company’s access equipment segment where the majority of the Company’s guarantees are granted. The Company evaluates the reserve based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. In most cases, the financing company is required to provide clear title to the equipment under the financing program. The Company considers the residual value of the equipment to reduce the amount of exposure. Residual values are estimated based upon recent auctions, used equipment sales and periodic studies performed by a third-party. Additional reserves, based upon historical loss percentages, are established at the time of sale of the equipment based upon the requirement of FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.

Product Liability. Due to the nature of the Company’s products, the Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. A substantial portion of these claims and lawsuits involve the Company’s access equipment, concrete placement and refuse collection vehicle businesses, while such lawsuits in the Company’s defense and fire & emergency businesses have historically been limited. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company maintains insurance to

reduce or eliminate risk to the Company. Most insurance coverage includes self-insured retentions that vary by business segment and by year. As of September 30, 20122013, the Company was generally self-insured for future claims up to $3.0$5.0 million per claim.

The Company establishes product liability reserves for its self-insured retention portion of any known outstanding matters based on the likelihood of loss and the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate such loss. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled matters due to the unpredictable nature of litigation. The Company makes estimates based on available information and the Company’s best judgment after consultation with appropriate experts. The Company periodically revises estimates based upon changes to facts or circumstances. The Company also utilizes actuarial methodologies to calculate reserves required for estimated incurred but not reported claims as well as to estimate the effect of the adverse development of claims over time.

Warranty. Sales of the Company’s products generally carry typical explicit manufacturers’ warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the Company's marketplaces. Selected components included in the Company’s marketplaces. end products (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer.

The Company records provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. The Company provides for any such warranty issues as they become known and estimable. It is reasonably possible that from time to time additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience.

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components included in the Company’s end products (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer.

The Company’s policy is to record a liability for the expected cost of warranty-related claims at the time of the sale. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring the Company’s obligations under the warranty plans. The Company believes that the warranty accounting estimate is a “critical accounting estimate” because changes in the warranty provision can materially affect net income; the estimate requires management to forecast estimated product usage levels by customers; in the case of new models, components or technology may be different, resulting in higher levels of warranty claims experience than with existing, mature products; and certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. The estimate for warranty obligations is a critical accounting estimate for each of the Company’s operating segments.

Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns. Over the past threefive fiscal years, the Company’s warranty cost as a percentage of sales has ranged from 0.40%0.39% of sales to 0.89%0.91% of sales. Warranty costs tend to be higher shortly after new product introductions, especially those introductions involving new technologies, when field warranty campaigns may be necessary to correct or retrofit certain items. Accordingly, the Company must make assumptions about the number and cost of anticipated field warranty campaigns. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of new features/components included in new product models.

Each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are any systemic defects that would require a field campaign. Also, based upon historical experience, warranty provision rates on new product introductions are established at higher than standard rates to reflect increased expected warranty costs associated with any new product introduction.

At times, warranty issues can arise which are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. If the estimate of warranty costs in fiscal 2012 increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the Company’s accrued warranty costs, costs of sales and operating income would each change by $40.9 million or 43.1%, 0.6% and 11.0%, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plans. The pension benefit obligation and related pension income are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement BenefitsBenefits. ,Determination of defined benefit pension and postretirement plan obligations and their associated expenses requires the use of actuarial valuations to estimate the benefits that employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. The Company uses the services of independent actuaries to assist with these calculations. Inherent in these valuations are impacted by certain actuarialeconomic assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets. The Company’s benefit plan assumptions are determined by using a benchmark approachassets, discount rates at which liabilities may be settled, rates of increase of health care costs as well as employee demographic assumptions such as retirement patterns, mortality and turnover. The actuarial assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower turnover rates, or longer or shorter life spans of participants. Actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions used are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses. Unrecognized gain and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the plan's projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of assets are amortized to earnings over the shorter of the estimated future service period of the plan participants or the period until any anticipated final plan settlements.

The Company determines the discount rate used each year based on the rate of return currently available actuarial data. These rates are evaluated on an annual basis considering such factors as market interest ratesa portfolio of high-quality fixed-income investments with a maturity that is consistent with the project benefit payout period. The Company's long-term rate of return on assets is based on consideration of historical and historicalforward-looking returns and the current asset performance.allocation strategy. Actuarial valuations at September 30, 20122013 used a weighted-average discount rate of 4.24%5.07% and an expected return on plan assets of 6.25%6.50%. A 0.5%50 basis point decrease in the discount rate would increase the Company's annual pension expense by $2.6$1.8 million. A 0.5%50 basis point decrease in the expected return on plan assets would increase the Company’s annual pension expense by $1.2$1.3 million.

The Company’s other postretirement benefits obligation and related expenses are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits, and are impacted by certain actuarial assumptions, including health care trend rates. An increase of one percentage point in health care costs would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $11.2 million and would increase the annual service and interest cost by $2.2 million. A corresponding decrease of one percentage point would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $9.3 million and decrease the annual service and interest cost by $1.8 million.

Income Taxes. The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities for differences between the book basis and tax basis of the related net assets. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax asset balances to the amount management expects to realize. Management considers, as applicable, the amount of taxable income available in carryback years, future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 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. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with ASC Topic 740 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur. As of September 30, 20122013, the Company had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $32.937.0 million.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Customers and Backlog

Sales to the U.S. government comprised approximately 45%36% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2012.2013. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for this period. A substantial majority of the Company’s net sales are derived from customer orders prior to commencing production.

The Company’s backlog as of September 30, 20122013 decreased 37.5%29.9% to $4.05$2.84 billion compared to $6.48$4.05 billion at September 30, 20112012. primarily due to a significant decline in defense segment backlog as a result of the slowdown in DoD spending. Access equipment segment backlog decreased 50.5%increased 1.9% to $367.9 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $361.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared. The Company believes that the increase in access equipment segment backlog is due in part to $729.2customers placing orders for delivery in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 in advance of an engine emissions standards change effective January 1, 2014, offset by a $72.8 million decrease in military telehandler orders as work was completed on that contract in fiscal 2013. Defense segment backlog decreased 39.8% to $1.84 billion at September 30, 20112013. Backlog at September 30, 2011 included a very large, early cycle order and was also favorably impacted by anticipated capacity constraints in the industry. Defense segment backlog decreased 40.5% compared to $3.05 billion at September 30, 2012 compared to $5.13 billion at September 30, 2011due largely to the fulfillment of FHTV and FMTV orders and the delay in finalizing the fiscal 2012 U.S. federala lower DoD budget which has delayed receipt of orders for the Company's products.tactical wheeled vehicles. Fire & emergency segment backlog decreased 0.3%increased 3.1% to $492.2 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $477.6 million at September 30, 2012 compareddue to $479.0improvement in the domestic fire apparatus market. Commercial segment backlog decreased 9.7% to $140.7 million at September 30, 20112013 due in large part to the Company no longer taking orders for Medtec ambulances in connection with its decision to exit the Medtec business. Commercial segment backlog increased 11.2%compared to $155.8 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $140.0 million at September 30, 2011. Unit backlog for concrete mixers was up 79.7%down 26.7% compared to September 30, 20112012. The Company believes that aged fleets and recent increases in housing starts contributed to recent larger, multiple-unitthis decline is the result of timing of large orders. Unit backlog for refuse collection vehicles was down 29.7%7.8% at September 30, 20122013 compared to September 30, 20112012. Prior year orders and backlog were positively impacted as customers scheduled delivery of units prior to the December 31, 2011 expiration of a U.S. bonus tax depreciation deduction.

Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. Additionally, backlog excludes unfunded portions of the FHTV and FMTV contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers. Approximately 14%8% of the Company’s September 30, 20122013 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2013.2014.

Financial Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, certain commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, the Company selectively uses financial instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to short-term market interest rates. The Company, as needed, uses interest rate swaps to modify its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2012.

The portion of the Company’s interest expense not effectively fixed in the interest rate swap remains sensitive to changes in the interest rates in the U.S. and off-shore markets. In this regard, changes in U.S. and off-shore interest rates affect interest payable on the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Agreement. Based on debt outstanding at September 30, 20122013, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average cost of the Company’s variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual pre-tax interest expense by approximately $4.6 million.

The table below provides information about the Company’s debt obligations, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates (dollars in millions):

The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted-average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

Commodity Price Risk. The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, including steel, aluminum and composites. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others which are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

The Company generally obtains firm quotations from its suppliers for a significant portion of its orders under firm, fixed-price contracts in its defense segment. In the Company’s access equipment, fire & emergency and commercial segments, the Company generally attempts to obtain firm pricing from most of its suppliers, consistent with backlog requirements and/or forecasted annual sales. To the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, France, Australia, Romania and China and sales and limited vehicle body mounting activities on six continents. In addition, the Company manufactures products through investmentsan investment in a joint venturesventure in Mexico and Brazil.Mexico. International sales comprised approximately 22%21% of overall net sales in fiscal 2012,2013, of which approximately 83%84% involved exports from the U.S. The majority of export sales in fiscal 20122013 were denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of the manufacture and sale of the Company’s products in foreign markets, the Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, as compared to foreign currencies in which certain of the Company’s transactions in foreign markets are denominated.denominated as compared to the value of the U.S. dollar. The Company’s operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the European currencies, primarily the Euro and the U.K. pound sterling, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar, changes between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real and changes between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Through the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities, the Company seeks to minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of the Company’s products will be affected by changes in exchange rates.

The Company enters into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk.risk on monetary assets or liabilities. These contracts qualify as derivative instruments under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; however, the Company has not designated all of these instruments as hedge transactions under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period to current earnings along with the offsetting foreign currency transaction gain/loss recognized on the related balance sheet exposure. At September 30, 20122013, the Company was managing $142.7$121.7 million (notional) of foreign currency contracts, none of which were designated as accounting hedges and all of which settle within 60 days.

The following table quantifies outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts intended to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, receivables and payables and the corresponding impact on the value of these instruments assuming a 10% appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies on September 30, 20122013 (dollars in millions):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oshkosh Corporation
Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Oshkosh Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 20122013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 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 conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 20122013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended September 30, 20122013 of the Company and our report dated November 19, 201213, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.Nature of Operations

Oshkosh Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), are leading manufacturers of a wide variety of specialty vehicles and vehicle bodies for the Americas and global markets. “Oshkosh” refers to Oshkosh Corporation, not including its subsidiaries. The Company sells its products into four principal vehicle markets — access equipment, defense, fire & emergency and commercial. The access equipment business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, JLG Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“JLG”) and JerrDan Corporation (“JerrDan”). JLG holds, along with an unaffiliated third-party, a 50% interest in a joint venture in The Netherlands, RiRent Europe, B.V. (“RiRent”). The defense business is conducted principally through the operations of Oshkosh. The Company’s fire & emergency business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (“Pierce”), the airport products division of Oshkosh and Kewaunee Fabrications, LLC (“Kewaunee”). The Company’s commercial business is principally conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McNeilus Companies, Inc. (“McNeilus”), Concrete Equipment Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“CON-E-CO”), London Machinery Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“London”), Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (“IMT”) and the commercial division of Oshkosh. McNeilus owns a 49% interest in Mezcladores Trailers de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Mezcladores”), which manufactures and markets concrete mixers, concrete batch plants and refuse collection vehicles in Mexico. McNeilus also owns a 45% interest in McNeilus Equipamentos Do Brasil LTDA (“McNeilus Brazil”), which manufactures and distributes McNeilus branded concrete mixers and batch plants in the Mercosur region (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay).

In April 2012,March 2013, the Company discontinued production of mobile medical trailers in the United States,ambulances, which were sold under the Oshkosh Specialty VehiclesMedtec brand name. In August 2012, the Company sold its interest in Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles (UK), Limited and AK Specialty Vehicles B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together "SMIT"), for nominal cash consideration. SMIT, a European mobile medical trailer manufacturer,Medtec was previously included in the Company's fire & emergency segment. In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI Brescia Antincendi International S.r.l. (“BAI”) to the BAI management team. BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment. The historical operating results of these businessesMedtec have been reclassified and are presented in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the sales of mobile medical trailers and BAI.ambulances.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oshkosh and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its 50% voting interest in RiRent and its 49% interest in Mezcladores and its 45% interest in McNeilus Brazil under the equity method.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue on equipment and parts sales when contract terms are met, collectability is reasonably assured and a product is shipped or risk of ownership has been transferred to and accepted by the customer. Revenue from service agreements is recognized as earned, when services have been rendered. Appropriate provisions are made for discounts, returns and sales allowances. Sales are recorded net of amounts invoiced for taxes imposed on the customer such as excise or value-added taxes.

Sales to the U.S. government of non-commercial whole goodsproducts manufactured to the government’s specifications are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-completion accounting method as units are accepted by the government. Under the units-of-delivery measure, the Company records sales as units are accepted by the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) based on unit sales values stated in the respective contracts. Costs of sales are based on actual costs incurred to produce the units delivered under the contract. Approximately 31% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal 2013 were recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method.

The Company invoices the government as the units are formally accepted. Deferred revenue arises from amounts received in advance of the culmination of the earnings process and is recognized as revenue in future periods when the applicable revenue recognition criteria have been met. Due to a shortage in tires at one of the Company's suppliers, the defense segment was unable to complete production of certain vehicles sufficiently to recognize revenue at September 30, 2012 and hashad deferred the revenue on these vehicles. Revenue will bewas recognized during fiscal 2013 once tires arewere obtained and added to the defense vehicles such that the earnings process iswas complete.

The Company includes amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. The Company charges anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress to earnings when identified. Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs — Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Shipping and handling fee revenue was not significant for all periodsany period presented. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Warranty — Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The amount of warranty liability accrued reflects management’s best estimate of the expected future cost of honoring Company obligations under the warranty plans. Historically, the cost of fulfilling the Company’s warranty obligations has principally involved replacement parts, labor and sometimes travel for any field retrofit campaigns. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience, the extent of pre-production testing, the number of units involved and the extent of features/components included in product models. Also, each quarter, the Company reviews actual warranty claims experience to determine if there are systemic defects that would require a field campaign. The Company recognizes the revenue from sales of extended warranties over the life of the contracts.

Research and Development and Similar Costs — Except for customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts (generally with the DoD), research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. Research and development costs charged to expense amounted to $109.1112.9 million, $99.9109.1 million and $92.499.9 million during fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. Customer sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts are accounted for as contract costs.

Advertising — Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense and are expensed as incurred. These expenses totaled $13.117.1 million, $15.513.1 million and $15.415.5 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively.

Environmental Remediation Costs — The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The liabilities are developed based on currently available information and reflect the participation of other potentially responsible parties, depending on the parties’ financial condition and probable contribution. The accruals are recorded at undiscounted amounts and are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. The accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options, restricted stock and performanceawards of stock-based compensation settled in shares are calculateddetermined based on the fair value of the stock-basedshare-based instrument at the time of grant and are recognized as expense over the vesting period of the stock-basedshare-based instrument. See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s stock-based incentive plans.

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to 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 not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company evaluates uncertain income tax positions in a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where the Company evaluates whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, zero tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. In future periods, changes in facts and circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Approximately 8%2% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 20122013 was located outside the United States. Income taxes are provided on financial statement earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries expected to be repatriated. The Company determines annually the amount of undistributed non-U.S. earnings to invest indefinitely in its non-U.S. operations. As a result of anticipated cash requirements in foreign subsidiaries, the Company currently believes that all earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided for the repatriation of those earnings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Based on Company estimates, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value as of September 30, 20122013 and 20112012. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional fair value information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at September 30, 20122013 consisted principally of bank deposits and money market instruments.

Receivables — Receivables consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers and unbilled costs and accrued profits related to revenues on long-term contracts with the U.S. government that have been recognized for accounting purposes but not yet billed to customers. The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. The accrual for estimated losses is based on the Company’s historical experience, existing economic conditions and any specific customer collection issues the Company has identified. Account balances are charged against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and guarantees of certain customers’ obligations under deferred payment contracts and lease purchase agreements.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, and other financial instruments, with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts and leases receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. However, a significant amount of trade and lease receivables are with the U.S. government, with rental companies globally, with companies in the ready-mix concrete industry, with municipalities and with several large waste haulers in the United States. The Company continues to monitor credit risk associated with its trade receivables, especially during this period of continued global economic weakness.receivables.

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 78.6%85.4% of the Company’s inventories at September 30, 20122013 and 85.4%78.6% at September 30, 20112012. For the remaining inventories, cost has been determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Performance-Based Payments — The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”)DoD to deliver heavy-payload tactical vehicles (Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles and Logistic Vehicle System Replacement) and medium-payload tactical vehicles (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles and Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement), as well as certain other defense-related contracts, include requirements for “performance-based payments.” The performance-based payment provisions in the contracts require the DoD to pay the Company based on the completion of certain pre-determined events in connection with the production under these contracts. Performance-based payments received are first applied to reduce outstanding receivables for units accepted in accordance with contractual terms, with any remaining amount recorded as an offset to inventory to the extent of related inventory on hand. Amounts received in excess of receivables and inventories are included in liabilities as customer advances.

Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using accelerated and straight-line methods. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, from 4 to 25 years for machinery and equipment and from 3 to 10 years for capitalized software and related costs. The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is immaterial for all periods presented. All capitalized interest has been added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets.

Goodwill — Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the aggregate fair value assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the fair value of the businesses to which the goodwill relates. Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a business. When the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, a further analysis is performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill, represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4.3 million and $16.8 million, respectively, of which $2.3 million and $16.8 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these charges.

In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill utilizing the income approach and the market approach. The Company weighted the income approach more heavily (75%) as the income approach uses long-term estimates that consider the expected operating profit of each reporting unit during periods where residential and non-residential construction and other macroeconomic indicators are nearer historical averages. The Company believes the income approach more accurately considers the expected recovery in the U.S. and European construction markets than the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Estimated future cash flows are based on the Company’s internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management. Rates used to discount estimated cash flows correspond to the Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and are dependent upon interest rates at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Under the market approach, the Company derives the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue and earnings multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Non-amortizable trade names are assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events or “indicators of potential impairment” occur. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. Such analyses necessarily involve significant judgment. In fiscal 20112013 and 20102011, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to purchased intangible assets of $0.59.0 million and $8.80.5 million, respectively, of whichrespectively. The fiscal $0.5 million2011 and $6.5 million, respectively,non-cash impairment charge related to discontinued operations.

Floor Plan Notes Payable — Floor plan notes payable represent liabilities related to the purchase of commercial vehicle chassis upon which the Company mounts its manufactured vehicle bodies. Floor plan notes payable are non-interest bearing for terms ranging up to 120 days and must be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle to a customer. The Company’s practice is to repay all floor plan notes for which the non-interest bearing period has expired without sale of the vehicle to a customer.

Customer Advances — Customer advances include amounts received in advance of the completion of fire & emergency and commercial vehicles. Most of these advances bear interest at variable rates approximating the prime rate. Advances also include any performance-based payments received from the DoD in excess of the value of related inventory. Advances from the DoD are non-interest bearing. See the discussion above regarding performance-based payments.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which encompasses net income (loss), cumulative translation adjustments, employee pension and postretirement benefits, and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.

Foreign Currency Translation — All balance sheet accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate during the period in which the transactions occurred. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in “Miscellaneous, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) related to continuing operations of $(5.1)(5.9) million, $0.3(5.1) million and $1.40.3 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts, in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or in equity as a

component of comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally, changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in income along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged items that relate to the hedged risks. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes. Changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in income. Cash flows from derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow or fair value hedges are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the item being hedged.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity to be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under this amendment, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. An entity will no longer be permitted to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The Company will be required to adoptadopted the new presentation requirements as of October 1, 2012. The adoption of the new presentation willrequirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

3.    Discontinued Operations

In April 2012, the Company discontinued production of mobile medical trailers in the United States, which were sold under the Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles brand name. In August 2012, the Company sold its interest in Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles (UK), Limited and AK Specialty Vehicles B.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together "SMIT"), for nominal cash consideration. In March 2013, the Company discontinued production of ambulances, which were sold under the Medtec brand name. Each of these businesses were previously included in the Company's fire & emergency segment. Due to the sale and/or closure of these businesses, they have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods.

In fiscal 2012, the Company settled an income tax audit, which resulted in the release of previously accrued amounts for uncertain tax positions related to worthless stock and bad debt deductions claimed in fiscal 2009 associated with its discontinued operations. Fiscal 2012 results from discontinued operations include a $6.1 million income tax benefit related to this audit settlement.

In April 2012, the Company discontinued productionResults of mobile medical trailers in the United States, which were sold under the Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles brand name. In August 2012, the Company sold its interest in SMIT for nominal cash consideration. SMIT, a European mobile medical trailer manufacturer, was previously included in the Company's fire & emergency segment.

In October 2009, the Company sold its 75% ownership interest in BAI to BAI’s management team for nominal cash consideration. Following reclassification of $0.8 million of cumulative translation adjustments out of equity, the Company recorded a small after tax loss on the sale, which was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. BAI, a European fire apparatus manufacturer, was previously included in the Company’s fire & emergency segment.

Costs and profits not billed generally result fromincludes undefinitized change orders on existing long-term contracts and “not-to-exceed” undefinitized contracts whereby the Company cannot invoice the customer the full price under the contract or contract change order until such contract or change order is definitized and agreed to with the customer following a review of costs under such a contract awardor change order, even though the contract deliverables may have been met. Definitization of a change order on an existing long-term contract or a sole source contract begins when the U.S. government customer undertakes a detailed review of the Company’s submitted costs and proposed margin related to the contract and concludes with a final change order. The Company recognizes revenue on undefinitized contracts to the extent that it can reasonably and reliably estimate the expected final contract price and when collectability is reasonably assured. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had recorded $5.1 million and $83.4 million, respectively, of revenue on contracts which remained undefinitized as of that date. To the extent that contract definitization results in changes to previously estimated or incurred costs or revenues, the Company records those adjustments as a change in estimate. The Company updated its estimated costs under several undefinitized change ordersrecorded revenue of $13.8 million and recorded $7.8 million of revenue related to such updates during fiscal 2013 and 2012. As all costs associated with these contracts had been previously expensed,, respectively, related to changes in estimates on the changedefinitization of contracts. The changes increased net income by $6.6 million, or $0.07 per share, and $5.0 million, or $0.05 per share, forin fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Finance Receivables: Finance receivables represent sales-type leases resulting from the sale of the Company's products and the purchase of finance receivables from lenders pursuant to customer defaults under program agreements with finance companies. Finance receivables originated by the Company generally include a residual value component. Residual values are determined based on the expectation that the underlying equipment will have a minimum fair market value at the end of the lease term. This residual value accrues to the Company at the end of the lease. The Company uses its experience and knowledge as an original equipment manufacturer and participant in end markets for the related products along with third-party studies to estimate residual values. The Company monitors these values for impairment on a periodic basis and reflects any resulting reductions in value in current earnings. Finance receivables are written down if management determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan amounts due in full.

Contractual maturities of the Company’s finance receivables at September 30, 2012 were as follows: 2013 - $2.7 million; 2014 - $0.3 million; 2015 - $1.3 million; 2016 - $0.8 million; 2017 - $0.4 million; and thereafter - $0.5 million. Historically, obligors have paid off finance receivables prior to their contractual due dates, although actual repayment timing is impacted by a number of factors, including the economic environment at the time. As a result, contractual maturities are not to be regarded as a forecast of future cash flows.
Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality of finance receivables. The Company maintains a general allowance for finance receivables considered doubtful of future collection based upon historical experience. Additional allowances are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the finance receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and underlying economic conditions. In circumstances where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. The terms of the finance agreements generally give the Company the ability to take possession of the underlying collateral. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers’ financial obligations is not realized.

Notes Receivable: Notes receivable include amounts related to refinancing of trade accounts and finance receivables. As of September 30, 20122013, approximately 96%90% of the notes receivable balance outstanding was due from threetwo parties. The Company routinely evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and establishes reserves where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured. Notes receivable are written down if management determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan in full. Certain notes receivable are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets and/or other assets owned by the debtor. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers' financial obligations is not realized.

Quality of Finance and Notes Receivable: The Company does not accrue interest income on finance and notes receivablesreceivable in circumstances where the Company believes collectability is no longer reasonably assured. Any cash payments received on nonaccrual finance and notes receivable are applied first to the principal balances. The Company does not resume accrual of interest income until the customer has shown that it is capable of meeting its financial obligations by making timely payments over a sustained period of time. During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized interest income of $9.9 million as a result of the receipt of payment from a customer on a note receivable that was on nonaccrual status. The Company determines past due or delinquency status based upon the due date of the receivable.

Receivables subject to specific reserves also include loans that the Company has modified in troubled debt restructurings as a concession to customers experiencing financial difficulty. To minimize the economic loss, the Company may modify certain finance and notes receivable. Modifications generally consist of restructured payment terms and time frames in which no payments are required. At September 30, 20122013, restructured finance receivables and notes receivables were $4.11.2 million and $23.120.2 million, respectively. Losses on troubled debt restructurings were not significant during fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011.2011. The Company restructured a $19.0 million outstanding note receivable in fiscal 2012 through a combination of extended payment terms, commitment by the customer to purchase an agreed upon quantity of equipment over a specified time horizon and a reduced payment obligation if the customer meets the equipment purchase and repayment schedule.

During fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, reductions in FIFO inventory levels resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current-year purchases. The effect of the LIFO inventory liquidations on fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 results was to decrease costs of goods sold by $0.30.7 million, $1.80.3 million and $5.61.8 million, respectively, and increase after-tax earnings from continuing operations by $0.5 million ($0.01 per share), $0.2 million ($0.00 per share), and $1.1 million ($0.01 per share) and $3.4 million ($0.04 per share), respectively.

Recorded investments generally represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company’s ownership interest. Earnings or losses are reflected in “Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company and an unaffiliated third party were partners in Oshkosh/McNeilus Financial Services Partnership (“OMFSP”), a general partnership formed for the purpose of offering lease financing to certain customers of the Company, of which the Company was a 50% owner. OMFSP historically engaged in providing vendor lease financing to certain customers of the Company. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company sold its interest in OMFSP for an immaterial pre-tax loss. Cash distributions and proceeds from the sale aggregated $16.5 million of which $6.5 million has been reflected as a return of equity.

The Company and an unaffiliated third party are joint venture partners in RiRent. RiRent maintains a fleet of access equipment for short-term lease to rental companies throughout most of Europe. The re-rental fleet provides rental companies with equipment to support requirements on short notice. RiRent does not provide services directly to end users. The Company’s sales to RiRent were $5.07.3 million, $6.55.0 million and $4.26.5 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. The Company recognizes income on sales to RiRent at the time of shipment in proportion to the outside third-party interest in RiRent and recognizes the remaining income ratably over the estimated useful life of the equipment, which is generally five years. Indebtedness of RiRent is secured by the underlying leases and assets of RiRent. All such RiRent indebtedness is non-recourse to the Company and its partner. Under RiRent’s 15.012.0 million bank credit facility, the partners of RiRent have committed to maintain an overall equity to asset ratio of at least 30.0% (60.1%70.1% as of September 30, 20122013).

Depreciation expense recorded in continuing operations was $65.665.3 million, $78.265.5 million and $80.577.9 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. Included in depreciation expense from continuing operations in fiscal 2012, 20112013 and 20102011 were charges of $0.9 million, $3.40.5 million and $5.83.4 million, respectively, related to the impairment of long-lived assets. To better align the Company’s cost structure with global market conditions, the Company has announced several plant closures during the past three fiscal years. Impairment of long-lived assets associated with the plant closures was determined using fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

Capitalized interest was insignificant for all reported periods.

Equipment on operating lease to others represents the cost of equipment shipped to customers for whom the Company has guaranteed the residual value and equipment on short-term leases. These transactions are accounted for as operating leases with the related assets capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic lives of five to ten years. Cost less accumulated depreciation for equipment on operating lease at September 30, 20122013 and 20112012 was $9.414.0 million and $6.59.4 million, respectively.

8.    Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 20122013, the Company performed its annual impairment review relative to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets (principally non-amortizable trade names). The Company performed the valuation analysis with the assistance of a third-party valuation adviser. To derive the fair value of its reporting units, the Company utilized both the income and market approaches. For the annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 20122013, the Company used a weighted-average cost of capital, depending on the reporting unit, of 13.0%12.5% to 15.0%14.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. Under

the market approach, the Company derived the fair value of its reporting units based on revenue and earnings multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. As a corroborative source of information, the Company reconciles its estimated fair value to within a reasonable range of its market capitalization, which includes an assumed control premium (an adjustment reflecting an estimated fair value on a control basis), to verify the reasonableness of the fair value of its reporting units obtained through the aforementioned methods. The control premium is estimated based upon control premiums observed in comparable market transactions. To derive the fair value of its trade names, the Company utilized the “relief from royalty” approach.

At July 1, 2012,2013, approximately 88% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived purchased intangibles were concentrated within the JLG reporting unit in the access equipment segment. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy and construction spending (and hence access equipment demand) will continue its slow improvement.to slowly improve through fiscal 2015. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the most recent recession and the subjective assumptions regarding a recovery. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.judgmental. While the Company currently believes that an impairment of intangible assets at JLG is unlikely, events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at JLG include a sharp decline in economic conditions, pricing pressure on JLG's margins or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at JLG.

At July 1, 2012, approximately 7% of the Company’s recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived purchased intangibles were concentrated within the Pierce reporting unit in the fire & emergency segment. This reporting unit has been severely impacted by the decrease in municipal revenue during the past two years. The Company believes that municipal demand is stabilizing as its municipal orders increased in fiscal 2012. The Company expects Pierce sales to decline in fiscal 2013 as federal demand is expected to bottom and that Pierce sales will begin a slow recovery starting in fiscal 2014 as municipal demand continues to rebound. The impairment model assumes that the U.S. economy will continue its slow improvement, reversing the recent trend of decreasing municipal tax revenues. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the severity and global scale of the most recent recession and the subjective assumptions regarding a recovery. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results. While the Company currently believes that an impairment of intangible assets at Pierce is unlikely, events and conditions that could result in the impairment of intangibles at Pierce include a further decline in economic conditions or other factors leading to reductions in expected long-term sales or profitability at Pierce.

Based on the Company’s annual impairment review, the Company concluded that the risk that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets would require anthere was no impairment charge was unlikely.of goodwill. Assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are highly judgmental, especially given the current period of economic uncertainty. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could have produced significantly different results.

When determining the value of customer relationships for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an acquisition, the Company looks at existing customer contracts of the acquired business to determine if they represent a reliable future source of income and hence, a valuable intangible asset for the Company. The Company determines the fair value of the customer relationships based on the estimated future benefits the Company expects from the acquired customer contracts. In performing its evaluation and estimation of the useful lives of customer relationships, the Company looks to the historical growth rate of revenue of the acquired company’s existing customers as well as the historical attrition rates.

The Company maintains a senior secured credit agreement with various lenders and on July 13, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the(the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in October 2015 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $525 million and (ii) a $455 million term loan (“Term Loan”) facility due in quarterly principal installments of $16.25 million commencing December 31, 2013 with a balloon payment of $341.25 million due at maturity in October 2015. At September 30, 20122013, outstanding letters of credit of $179.886.0 million reduced available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $345.2439.0 million.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement to the extent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by (i) a first-priority perfected lien and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, each material subsidiary of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, (ii) mortgages upon certain real property of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and (iii) a pledge of the equity of each material subsidiary and each subsidiary guarantor.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement and (ii) a fee ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each performance letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied. At September 30, 20122013, the interest spread on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan was 175150 basis points. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan at September 30, 20122013 was 1.97%1.68%.

Thereafter2.75 to 1.0

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 20122013 and expects to be able to meet the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement over the next twelve months.

Additionally, with certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement limits the ability of the Company to pay dividends and other distributions.distributions, including repurchases of shares of the Company's Common Stock. However, so long as no event of default exists under the Credit Agreement or would result from such payment, the Company may pay dividends and other distributions after April 1, 2012 in an aggregate amount not exceeding the sum of:
i.
$485 million; plus
ii.
50% of the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries (or if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), accrued on a cumulative basis during the period beginning on April 1, 2012 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the applicable proposed dividend or distribution; plus
iii.
100% of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company subsequent to March 31, 2012 either as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issuance and sale of its Common Stock.

In March 2010, the Company issued $250.0 million of 8¼% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2017 and $250.0 million of 8½% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2020 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and a trustee. The Indenture contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company has the option to redeem the Senior Notes due 2017 and Senior Notes due 2020 for a premium after March 1, 2014 and March 1, 2015, respectively. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Senior Notes. See Note 2425 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information of the subsidiary guarantors.

The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based upon the market rate of the Company’s debt. At September 30, 20122013, the fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated to be $550543 million and the fair value of the Term Loan approximated book value.

12.    Warranties

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer. Warranty costs recorded in continuing operations were $72.557.1 million, $30.270.4 million and $87.829.6 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively.

Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. Changes in the liability for pre-existing warranties during fiscal 2013 and 2012 primarily related to increased warranty costs in the fire & emergency segment. Actual Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicle (“M-ATV”) warranty claims have been lower than the Company expected on the M-ATV product launch, which resulted in reductions in liabilities for pre-existing warranties in fiscal 2011. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company's historical experience. For example, accelerated programs to design, test, manufacture and deploy products such as the M-ATV, in war-time conditions, carry with them an increased level of inherent risk of product or component failure. It is reasonably possible that additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters in excess of amounts accrued; however, the Company does not expect that any such amounts, while not determinable, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, result of operations or cash flows.

13.    Guarantee Arrangements

The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby it guarantees an aggregate of $363.8365.0 million in indebtedness of others,customers, including $132.2350.4 million under loss pool agreements. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts at September 30, 20122013 was $94.691.8 million. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate and result in their inability to make payments, then additional accruals may be required. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third parties' inability to meet their obligations. In the event that this occurs, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amounts reserved. Any losses under these guarantees would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral, including financed equipment, and are generally subject to the finance company's ability to provide the Company clear title to foreclosed equipment and other conditions. During periods of economic weakness, collateral values generally decline and can contribute to higher exposure to losses.

Upon releasecertain situations. See Note 11 of the guarantees, the Company reduced previously accrued reserves and increased pre-tax income by $8.1 million.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding these restrictions.

14.15.    Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has used forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“derivatives”) to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions. These derivatives typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate at a future date. At times, the Company has designated these hedges as either cash flow hedges or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging,Hedging. as follows:

Fair Value Hedging Strategy — The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from risk that the eventual U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows from the sale of products to international customers will be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy — To protect against an increase in the cost of forecasted purchases of foreign-sourced component parts payable in Euro, the Company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted purchases denominated in Euro with forward contracts. When the U.S. dollar weakens against the Euro, increased foreign currency payments are offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro, reduced foreign currency payments are offset by losses in the value of the forward contracts.
At September 30, 20122013 and 20112012, the Company had no forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges.

To manage a portion of the Company's exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest payments on a portion of the Company's variable-rate debt. The swap, which had a termination date of December 6, 2011, was designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses were reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and were amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings. During fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, $2.2 million, $16.6 million and $41.6 million of expense, respectively, was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income as amortization of interest rate derivative gains and losses.
The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to create an economic hedge to manage foreign exchange risk exposure associated with non-functional currency denominated payables resulting from global sourcing activities. The Company has not designated these derivative contracts as hedge transactions under FASB ASC Topic 815, and accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period in current earnings. The fair value of foreign currency related derivatives is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other current assets” and “Other current liabilities.” At September 30, 20122013, the U.S. dollar equivalent of these outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts totaled $142.7121.7 million in notional amounts, including $76.267.4 million in contracts to sell Euro, $54.320.3 million in contracts to buy Euro, $19.2 million in contracts to sell Australian dollars, $2.76.8 million in contracts to sell U.K. pounds sterling and buy Euro with the remaining contracts covering a variety of foreign currencies.

To manage a portion of the Company's exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest payments on a portion of the Company's variable-rate debt. The swap, which terminated on December 6, 2011, was designated as a cash flow hedge of 3-month LIBOR-based interest payments and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses were reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and were amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.

15.16.    Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3:Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

(b)    Based on observable market transactions of forward currency prices.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets and investments in affiliates, (see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for impairments of long-lived assets and Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for impairments of intangible assets). The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to each of these assets rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Stock options terminate not more than seven years from the date of grant. The exercise price of stock options and the market value of restricted stock awards are determined based on the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. Except for performance shares and performance units, vesting is based solely on continued service as an employee of the Company.

Performance shares are valued by a global third-party actuarial firm utilizing a complex Monte Carlo simulation model. In October 2012, the Company, in conjunction with the third party, determined that the performance share valuation calculations performed for fiscal 2007 through 2011 were incorrect. To correct cumulative compensation expense, the Company recorded compensation expense of $4.9 million in fiscal 2012 as an out-of-period adjustment.

Total share-based compensation in fiscal 2013 increased as a result of the impact of a higher share price on cash-settled awards, which are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, and accelerated vesting of a share-based award in fiscal 2013 to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company's Chief Executive Officer declined awards of share-based compensation in the previous three years.

The weighted-average fair value used to record compensation expense for performance share awards granted during fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 was $35.8454.78, $9.7535.84 and $13.8827.93 per award, respectively. Compensation expense of $8.1 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million related to performance share awards was recorded in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Performance shares are valued by a global third-party actuarial firm utilizing a complex Monte Carlo simulation model. In October 2012, the Company, in conjunction with the third party, determined that the performance share valuation calculations performed for fiscal 2007 through 2011 were incorrect. The correct weighted-average fair values for performance share awards granted during fiscal 2011 and 2010 were $27.93 and $41.10 per award, respectively. To correct cumulative compensation expense, the Company recorded compensation expense of $4.9 million in fiscal 2012 as an out-of-period adjustment. Correcting this error, which was not material to any of the affected periods, resulted in a $3.1 million after-tax decrease to net income for the year ended September 30, 2012.

18.    Restructuring and Other Charges

As part of the Company’s actions to rationalize and optimize its global manufacturing footprint and in an effort to streamline operations, the Company announced in September 2010 that it was closing two JerrDan manufacturing facilities and relocating towing and recovery equipment production to other underutilized access equipment segment facilities. The Company largely completed these actions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result of the Company's decision to put a previously closed JerrDan facility back into use, the previously accrueda liability for lease termination costs of $2.8 million was reversed to income in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

In January 2011, the Company initiated a plan to address continued weak market conditions in its access equipment segment in Europe. The plan included the consolidation of certain facilities and other cost reduction initiatives resulting in reductions in its workforce in Europe. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded statutorily or contractually required termination benefit costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the works councils on certain details of the plan, including the number of employees that would ultimately receive severance. As a result of employees voluntarily leaving the Company, the accrual was reduced throughout the remainder of fiscal 2011.costs. The Company largely completed these actions in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

In June 2011, the Company announced that its defense segment was closing its Oakes, North Dakota fabrication facility and consolidating operations into other existing Oshkosh facilities. Operations at Oakes concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

OnIn July 26, 2012, the Company initiated a plan to exit its ambulance business. The Company had expected that the move of ambulance production from fourseparate facilities to a dedicated production facility in Florida in April 2011 would result in significantly improved performance. Despite efforts by numerous dedicated individuals and teams, theThe Medtec business continued to operate at a loss, and it became apparent that the Medtec product line would not achieve profitability in a reasonable time frame, if at all, and as a result, the Company made a decision to exit the business. The Company expects to discontinue production of ambulancesMedtec operations concluded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 following the completion of units in backlog. In additionand Medtec historical results have been reclassified to restructuring charges of $3.9 million incurred in connection with the wind downdiscontinued operations (See Note 3 of the Medtec product line, the Company experienced production inefficiencies of $11.3 million and recorded a charge of $3.3 millionNotes to write-down inventory to net realizable value during fiscal 2012.Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).

The benefits provided are based primarily on average compensation, years of service and date of birth. Hourly plans are generally based on years of service and a benefit dollar multiplier. The Company periodically amends the plans, including changing the benefit dollar multipliers and other revisions. In September 2012, the Company amended its Oshkosh and Pierce defined benefit plans, freezing benefit accruals for Oshkosh and Pierce salaried employees effectiveEffective December 31, 2012. The amendment provides that2012, salaried participants in the Oshkosh and Pierce pension plans will notno longer receive credit, other than for vesting purposes, for eligible earnings paid for any month of service worked after the effective date. All accrued benefits under the plans as of the effective date will remain intact, and service credits for vesting and retirement eligibility will continue in accordance with the terms of the plans.earnings. As a result of the formal decision to freeze the plans benefit accruals, the Company recognized a reduction of its projected benefit obligation of $31.4 million and recorded a curtailment loss of $2.5 million. The pension benefit is expected to be offset by in fiscal 2012. In January 2013, Oshkosh and Pierce salaried employees became eligible for additional employer contributions to the Company's defined contribution plan beginning(see "401(k) and Defined Contribution Pension Replacement Plans" below). In connection with staffing reductions in Januarythe defense segment as a result of declining sales to the DoD, pension curtailment losses of $2.8 million were recorded during fiscal 2013.

If the health care cost trend rate was increased by 100 basis points, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 20122013 would increase by $11.29.4 million and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 20122013 would increase by $2.21.7 million. A corresponding decrease of 100 basis points would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 20122013 by $9.36.7 million and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 20122013 would decrease by $1.81.5 million.

The Company’s Board of Directors has appointed an Investment Committee (“Committee”), which consists of members of management, to manage the investment of the Company’s pension plan assets. The Committee has established and operates under an Investment Policy. The Committee determines the asset allocation and target ranges based upon periodic asset/liability studies and capital market projections. The Committee retains external investment managers to invest the assets and an adviser to monitor the performance of the investment managers. The Investment Policy prohibits certain investment transactions, such as commodity contracts, margin transactions, short selling and investments in Company securities, unless the Committee gives prior approval.

The weighted-average of the Company’s pension plan asset allocations and target allocations at September 30, by asset category, were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The plans’ investment strategy is based on an expectation that, over time, equity securities will provide higher total returns than debt securities. The plans primarily minimize the risk of large losses through diversification of investments by asset class, by investing in different styles of investment management within the classes and by using a number of different investment managers. The Committee monitors the asset allocation and investment performance monthly, with a more comprehensive quarterly review with its adviser and annual reviews with each investment manager.

The plans’ expected return on assets is based on management’s and the Committee’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the plans’ investments. These expectations are based on the plans’ historical returns and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans - The Company participates in the Boilermaker-Blacksmith National Pension Trust (Employer Identification Number 48-6168020), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan related to collective bargaining employees at the Company's Kewaunee facility. The Company's contributions and pension benefits payable under the plan and the administration of the plan are determined by the terms of the related collective-bargaining agreement, which expires on May 1, 2017. The multi-employer plan poses different risks to the Company than single-employer plans in the following respects:

1.The Company's contributions to the multi-employer plan may be used to provide benefits to all participating employees of the program, including employees of other employers.
2.In the event that another participating employer ceases contributions to the multi-employer plan, the Company may be responsible for any unfunded obligations along with the remaining participating employers.
3.If the Company chooses to withdraw from the multi-employer plan, then the Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability, based on the underfunded status of the plan at that time.

As of December 31, 2011,2012, the plan-certified zone status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 was Yellow and accordingly itthe plan has implemented a financial improvement plan or a rehabilitation plan. The Company's contributions to the multi-employer plan did not exceed 5% of the total plan contributions for the fiscal years 2013, 2012 2011 or 2010.2011. The Company made contributions to the plan of $1.01.1 million, $0.71.0 million and $0.60.7 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively.

401(k) and Defined Contribution Pension Replacement Plans - The Company has defined contribution 401(k) plans covering substantially all domestic employees. The plans allow employees to defer 2% to 100% of their income on a pre-tax basis. Each employee who elects to participate is eligible to receive Company matching contributions, which are based on employee contributions to the plans, subject to certain limitations. Beginning in January 2013, the Company also contributes between 3% and 6% of an employee's base pay, depending on age, as part of a new defined contribution pension replacement plan. Amounts expensed for Company matching and discretionary contributions were $11.328.3 million, $10.511.3 million and $5.110.5 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. The increase in defined contribution costs during fiscal 2013 was generally a result of additional Company contributions beginning in January 2013 to offset benefit reductions associated with the curtailment of benefits under the defined benefit pension plans for Oshkosh and Pierce salaried employees.

The Company iswas party to a tax incentive agreement (“incentive”) covering certain of its European operations. The incentive providesexpired in July 2013 and provided for a reduction in the Company’s effective income tax rate through allowable deductions that arewere subject to recapture to the extent that certain conditions arewere not met, including a requirement to have minimum cumulative operating income over a multiple-year period ending in fiscal 2013. The Company recorded tax deductions (income recapture) under the incentive of 11.55.9 million, 7.811.5 million and (15.9)7.8 million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively, which resulted in additional benefit (expense) of$2.6 million, $5.0 million, and $3.7 million and $(7.3) million in fiscal 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively. Life-to-date, the Company has recorded 21.527.4 million of cumulative net deductions which are subject to recapture provisions should certain minimum income and other requirements not be met. Should the Company reach the maximum level of cumulative operating income under the incentive, aggregate additional unbenefitted deductions of €92.0 million would be available to offset the Company’s future taxable income, although the amount of deductions allowed in any particular tax year are limited by the incentive.deductions.

InPrior to fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2012, the Company sold several European companies whose operations were subsequently classified as discontinued operations. The Company had made an election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to treat Windmill Ventures, the Company’s European holding company parent of these disposed companies, as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, the Company recorded a worthless stock/bad debt income tax benefit related to the discontinued operations of the sold companies. In fiscal 2012, the Company settled an income tax audit, which resulted in a tax benefit of $6.1 million related to the release of previously accrued amounts for uncertain tax positions for worthless stock/bad debt deductions, which was included in discontinued operations.

As of September 30, 20122013, the Company had $191.1185.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of certain foreign subsidiaries that are primarily from countries with carryforward periods ranging from fiveseven years to an unlimited period. In addition, the Company had $157.0124.0 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to expiration from 20142016 to 2032. The Company also had capital loss carryforwards of $32.431.2 million, which are subject to expiration from 2014 to 2017, and state credit carryforwards of $8.39.8 million, which are subject to expiration from 2022 to 2027.2028. The deferred tax assets for foreign net operating loss carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and state credit carryforwards were $54.051.6 million, $8.26.5 million, $11.911.5 million and $4.16.4 million, respectively, and are reviewed for recoverability based on historical taxable income, the expected reversals of existing temporary differences, tax-planning strategies and projections of future taxable income. As a result of this analysis, the Company carried a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2012against the foreign deferred tax assets, state deferred tax assets and capital loss carryforwards of $40.640.2 million, $2.50.4 million and $11.911.5 million, respectively.respectively, as of September 30, 2013.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that are intended to be permanently reinvested. At September 30, 20122013, these earnings amounted to $50.698.4 million. If these earnings were repatriated to the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these earnings is not practicable.

As of September 30, 20122013, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, was $33.936.9 million. As of September 30, 2013, net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, of $25.9 million would affect the Company’s net income if recognized, including $25.2 million which would impact net income from continuing operations. As of September 30, 2012, net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, of $23.8 million would affect the Company’s net income if recognized, including $23.1 million which would impact net income from continuing operations. As of September 30, 2011, net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, of $43.4 million would have affected the Company’s net income if recognized, $23.323.1 million of which would have impacted net income from continuing operations.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.82.0 million, $1.7(0.8) million and $0.9(1.7) million related to interest and penalties, respectively. At September 30, 20122013 and 20112012, the Company had accruals for the payment of interest and penalties of $13.316.1 million and $14.113.3 million, respectively. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that federal, state and foreign tax audit resolutions could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $4.013.2 million, either because the Company’s tax positions are sustained on audit, because the Company agrees to their disallowance or the statute of limitations closes.

22.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share

BasicPrior to September 1, 2013, the Company granted stock awards that contain a nonforfeitable right to dividends, if declared. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, these awards are considered to be participating securities and as a result, earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders, which has been modified to include the effects of all participating securities (unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive nonforfeitable dividends) as prescribed bycalculated using the two-class method. The two-class method under FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, during the period by the weighted average shares outstanding. Dilutedis an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share is computed similarly but reflectsfor common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the potential dilution that would occurperiod. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.

Effective September 1, 2013, new grants of stock awards do not contain a nonforfeitable right to dividends during the vesting period. As a result, an employee will forfeit the right to dividends accrued on unvested awards if dilutive options were exercisedsuch awards do not ultimately vest. As such, these awards are not treated as participating securities in the earnings per share calculation as the employees do not have equivalent dividend rights as common shareholders.

22.23.    Contingencies, Significant Estimates and Concentrations

Environmental - As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles or reclaims certain industrial waste materials, chemicals and solvents at third-party disposal and recycling facilities, which are licensed by appropriate governmental agencies. In some instances, these facilities have been and may be designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or a state environmental agency for remediation. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state laws, each potentially responsible party (“PRP”) that contributed hazardous substances may be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with cleaning up these sites. Typically, PRPs negotiate a resolution with the EPA and/or the state environmental agencies. PRPs also negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup costs.

The Company had reserves of $2.01.9 million and $2.12.0 million for losses related to environmental matters that were probable and estimable at September 30, 20122013 and 20112012, respectively. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Personal Injury Actions and Other - Product and general liability claims are made against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company is generally self-insured for future claims up to $5.0 million per claim ($3.0 million per claim.claim prior to April 1, 2013). Accordingly, a reserve is maintained for the estimated costs of such claims. At September 30, 20122013 and 20112012, reserves forthe Company had net product and general liability claims wasreserves of $45.6 million and $41.745.6 million, respectively, based on available information.respectively. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled claims. Management, however, believes that any losses in excess of established reserves will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Market Risks - The Company was contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds totaling $221.9259.5 million and open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties totaling $179.886.0 million at September 30, 20122013.

Purchase Obligations - The Company utilizes blanket purchase orders to communicate expected annual requirements to many of its suppliers or contractors. Requirements under blanket purchase orders generally do not become “firm” until four weeks prior to the Company’s scheduled unit production. As of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company had purchase obligation commitments considered firm, plus the value of all outstanding subcontracts, totaling $1.8 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively.

Other Matters - The Company is subject to other environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

At September 30, 20122013, approximately 25%19% of the Company’s workforce was covered under collective bargaining agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Certain risks are inherent in doing business with the DoD, including technological changes and changes in levels of defense spending. All DoD contracts contain a provision that they may be terminated at any time at the convenience of the U.S. government. In such an event, the Company is entitled to recover allowable costs plus a reasonable profit earned to the date of termination.

Major contracts for military systems are performed over extended periods of time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules. Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over prolonged periods of time. The Company’s ultimate profitability on such contracts may depend on the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of contractual issues with the Company’s customers.

Because the Company is a relatively large defense contractor, the Company’s U.S. government contract operations are subject to extensive annual audit processes and to U.S. government investigations of business practices and cost classifications from which legal or administrative proceedings can result. Based on U.S. government procurement regulations, under certain circumstances the Company could be fined, as well as suspended or debarred from U.S. government contracting. During a suspension or debarment, the Company would also be prohibited from selling equipment or services to customers that depend on loans or financial commitments from the Export Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation and similar U.S. government agencies.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Certain of the Company's sales in the defense segment are made pursuant to contracts with the U.S. government with pricing based on the costs as determined by the Company to produce products or perform services under the contracts. Cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulations ("FAR"). The FAR provide guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. government contracts. Pension and other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to contracts as allowed costs based upon the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"). The CAS requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit costs differ from amounts recorded for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. On December 31, 2012, the Oshkosh salaried employee defined benefit plan was frozen such that salaried employees would no longer accrue additional benefits under this plan. This resulted in a plan curtailment. Per CAS, when there is a curtailment of plan benefits, the contractor must determine the difference between the actuarial accrued liability and the market value of the assets. The difference represents an adjustment to previously-determined pension costs and the government shares in the difference, whether a credit or charge based on that portion of pension plan costs that related to CAS-covered contracts during the applicable time period. The Company believes that it is entitled to an equitable adjustment of approximately $10 million under CAS related to the pension plan curtailment. This amount is subject to negotiation with the U.S. government. Because of uncertainty pertaining to the amount and form of any ultimate settlement (current payment or adjustment to future contracts), the Company has not recognized any income from this matter.

23.24.    Business Segment Information

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, for purposes of business segment performance measurement, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a non-operating nature or organizational or functional expenses of a corporate nature. The caption “Corporate” includes corporate office expenses, share-based compensation, costs of certain business initiatives and shared services benefiting multiple segments and results of insignificant operations. Identifiable assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment and certain other assets pertaining to corporate activities. Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

26.27.    Subsequent EventsEvent

On October 17, 2012, Mr. Carl Icahn and related entities (the “Icahn Entities”) commenced an unsolicited tender offer for “any and all” issued and outstanding shares30, 2013, the Company declared a cash dividend of the Company's Common Stock for $32.50$0.15 per share in cash (the “Offer”). On October 26, 2012, the Icahn Entities also submitted to the Company a notice to nominate a slate of candidates to replace the entire Board of Directors of the Company at the Company'spayable December 2, 2013 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company's Board of Directors carefully reviewed the Offer, in consultation with the Company's financial and legal advisors, and unanimously determined that the Offer is inadequate, undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommended that the Company's shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their shares into the Offer. The Company expects to incur costs, which could be significant, in connection with the Offer and threatened proxy contest.

Upon the occurrence of "change of control" events specified in the indentures for our Senior Notes, the Company is required to make an offer to purchase the outstanding notes under such indentures at 101% of the principal amount tendered, together with accrued and unpaid interest within 60 days following a change of control. "Change of control" under the indenture is generally defined to include, among other things: (1) the acquisition by a person or group of a least 50% of the Company's Common Stock, (b) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to a person other than a restricted subsidiary of the Company (as defined in the indenture), or (c) replacement of a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors by persons who were not nominated by its current directors during any two consecutive years.

Under the Company's Credit Agreement, a change of control would result in an event of default, which would allow the Company's lenders to accelerate the debt owed to them. Under the Credit Agreement, a "change of control" is generally defined to include, among other things: (a) the acquisition by a person or group of at least 30% of the Company's Common Stock, (b) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to any person, or (c) replacement of a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors by persons who were not nominated by its current directors during the previous 12 consecutive months.

On October 25, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a “right”) on each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 5, 2012. Pursuant to the Rights Plan, each share of Common Stock of the Company has associated with it one right. Each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company for $75.00. The rights generally will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 10% (15% in the case of a “13G Institutional Investor” as defined in the Rights Plan) or more of the Company's Common Stock. In that situation, each holder of a right (other than the acquiror) will be entitled to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price of $75.00, Common Stock of the Company having a market value of twice the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable for $0.001 per right at any time until the tenth business day following the first public announcement of the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 10% (15% in the case of a “13G Institutional Investor”) or more of the Company's Common Stock. The Rights Plan will expire on October 25, 2013, unless such date is extended or the rights are earlier redeemed, exchanged or terminated.18, 2013.

On November 15, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's stock repurchase authorization from the remaining 6,683,825 shares of Common Stock to 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

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. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 20122013. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20122013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on 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 Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of September 30, 20122013, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective based on that framework.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 20122013, which is included herein.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The attestation report required under this Item 9A is contained in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20122013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
