Exhibit 99 to Tennant Company Form 8-K dated April 26, 2007

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 26, 2007—Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing of solutions that help create a cleaner, safer world, today reported net earnings of $5.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, on record first quarter net sales of $155.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2007. Tennant reported net earnings in the comparable 2006 period of $4.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, on net sales of $135.5 million.

“We are pleased with our continued momentum, evidenced by double-digit gains in sales and earnings during the first quarter,” said Chris Killingstad, Tennant Company’s president and chief executive officer. “Contributing to the company’s performance were increases in all of Tennant’s geographic markets, with especially strong international results. We are confident that the company is well-positioned to deliver further sustained, profitable growth across our businesses.”

Tennant remains focused on leveraging operational efficiencies and growing revenues through its 2007 corporate priorities: process improvement, operational excellence, new products, integrated solutions and market expansion.

Tennant’s consolidated net sales for the 2007 first quarter rose 14.5 percent compared to a strong 2006 first quarter, fueled by volume increases in all of Tennant’s geographic areas. Favorable foreign currency exchange added approximately 3 percent to consolidated net sales for the quarter.

In North America, 2007 net sales totaled a first quarter record of $96.6 million, up 7.2 percent versus the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by volume growth for new products. Foreign currency exchange effects were negligible.

In Europe, first quarter net sales grew to $41.0 million, up 26.9 percent compared with the 2006 first quarter. The July 2006 Hofmans Machinefabriek acquisition contributed approximately 9 percent to first quarter sales growth in Europe. New products further fueled the company’s growth in this geographic market, and favorable foreign currency exchange effects added approximately 11 percent to sales in Europe for the quarter.

In Tennant’s other international markets, 2007 first quarter net sales rose 33.6 percent to $17.5 million versus the comparable 2006 quarter. Favorable foreign currency exchange effects benefited net sales by approximately 2 percent in the 2007 first quarter. Organic growth was the primary contributor to other international sales. The company posted particularly strong sales in Australia and China, due to expanded market coverage in China and shipment of a large order in Australia.

Gross profit margin was 41.1 percent for the 2007 first quarter compared to 41.9 percent in the 2006 first quarter, as cost-reduction initiatives and price increases were not enough to offset higher material costs. Expenses associated with the company’s manufacturing footprint consolidation and integration of the Hofmans acquisition also contributed to reduced margins in the first quarter.

For the quarter, selling and administrative expenses were $48.9 million, or 31.5 percent of sales, versus $45.1 million, or 33.3 percent of sales, in the 2006 first quarter. The improvement as a percentage of sales was driven by sales leverage as growth in sales outpaced the increase of selling and administrative costs despite the unfavorable impact of FX and the acquisitions of Hofmans and Floorep.

Operating profit for the 2007 first quarter rose 37 percent to $9.2 million compared with the 2006 first quarter. The increase, which stemmed from sales growth across all product categories and geographies, includes the China expansion and manufacturing footprint consolidation costs of $1.1 million pretax, or $0.04 per diluted share.

Tennant is maintaining its anticipated range of earnings per diluted share for 2007 at $1.72 to $1.80. This outlook includes approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million pretax, or $0.15 to $0.17 per diluted share, of expense related to the company’s China expansion and manufacturing footprint consolidation initiatives. Management expects the manufacturing footprint consolidation to be completed by the end of 2007.

“In 2007, we anticipate reporting another year of strong sales and earnings,” said Killingstad. “We expect to fuel our growth through innovative new products and expanded market coverage. We also plan to gain further efficiencies in our operations.”

In connection with the manufacturing footprint consolidation, Tennant continues to anticipate selling its Maple Grove, Minn., facility near the end of 2007. While the company cannot estimate the impact of this sale on its results because of the uncertainty of the transaction price and timing, the company does anticipate a substantial gain on the sale. The gain is not included in Tennant’s earnings guidance for 2007.
