Net Orders vs. Builds OEMs have continued to build in spite of weak orders – UNSUSTAINABLE! Current build levels are unsustainable Builds have exceeded orders by 53K since Feb 2012 Source: ACT Research

Industry Backlog and Inventory OEMs have put off significant production cuts for as long as they can Steadily declining backlogs + rising inventory levels = pressure on builds Low cancellations point to a near-term soft patch rather than a protracted downturn Source: ACT Research

Other Commercial Factors Other commercial factors are negatively impacting our business; however, we are adjusting our cost structure and market strategy to mitigate these impacts The unfavorable ruling by the ITC in the anti-dumping case is creating additional pressure on our steel wheel aftermarket business Navistar and Paccar will no longer offer Gunite hub and drum assemblies as standard equipment on their vehicles Near-term softness in the global construction, agriculture and oil & gas industries has reduced Brillion’s 2012 forecast Anti Dumping Suit (Wheels) OEM Decisions (Gunite) Other Industrial Softness (Brillion) Customer Steel Wheels Aluminum Wheels Drums Hubs OE AM Daimler Navistar  Paccar Volvo

Comments from Industry Peers Companies across the industry are reacting to the abrupt slowdown “Industry orders for new trucks in North America have slowed in recent months as customers evaluate the mixed signals of a sluggish economic recovery. PACCAR's third quarter truck production is expected to be 15-20 percent lower than the second quarter, reflecting build rate adjustments in North America and the normal two-week summer shutdown in Europe.” “As we announced on September 4, weakness in the global economy constrained revenue growth at FedEx Express during our first quarter and affected our earnings. . . We are taking further actions to reduce costs and adjust our networks to match current and anticipated shipment volumes.” “. . . third quarter 2012 earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.18 to $1.25 per diluted share, primarily due to volume declines in certain markets and lower revenues from fuel surcharges. Decreased coal and merchandise shipments, offset in part by growth in intermodal volumes, are together expected to reduce revenues by approximately $120 million compared with third quarter 2011.” “. . . along with uncertain industry conditions, the company is not providing fourth quarter earnings guidance until industry volumes solidify and these potential actions are defined.” “Revenue projections for the second half are lower than our previous forecast due to reduced expectations for the European commercial vehicle market, unfavorable volume adjustments from a large North American commercial vehicle customer which were below our forecast, and continued weakness in the Brazilian market. With the current market forecast , we are reducing cost to align with the realities of our end markets and customer schedules.” October 5, 2012 September 19, 2012 September 18, 2012 September 6, 2012 September 11, 2012 “There are a number of geopolitical and economic factors driving uncertainty in the world today, but our base case scenario calls for modest global economic growth over the next few years. We think this is a reasonable view and the most likely outcome, and based on that, we expect 2015 sales and revenues for Caterpillar to be in a range of $80 to $100 billion, and for profit in a range of $12 to $18 per share.” September 24, 2012

Industry Build Forecasts Class 8 Builds Medium Duty Builds Trailer Builds Source: ACT Research & FTR Associates Unless orders pickup soon, OEMs will be forced to cut build rates even further Uncertainty about the economy and the freight environment are making fleets cautious Medium-duty demand continues to grow slowly, although orders have softened in recent months Residential investment is strengthening, but government spending remains weak Orders for trailers have also weakened Economic uncertainty & overbuying coming out of the recession will temper near-term trailer orders ACT FTR
