Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activites.
On August 8, 2007, the Board of Directors of NACCO Industries, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary,
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (“NMHG”), approved a restructuring plan to phase out
production of current product at its facility in Irvine, Scotland by early 2009, change the product
mix at its Craigavon, Northern Ireland facility and increase production at its Berea, Kentucky and
Sulligent, Alabama plants in the United States and at its Ramos Arizpe facility in Mexico. These
actions are being taken to further reduce NMHG’s manufacturing, component and other product costs,
reduce its manufacturing footprint, significantly reduce working capital requirements and reduce
currency exposures through increased manufacture of products in the market of sale.
As a result of the approval of this restructuring program, NMHG will recognize a cash charge of
approximately $5.8 million in August 2007 related to severance benefits. In addition, NMHG
anticipates that it will incur subsequent cash charges related to this restructuring program, which
are not eligible for accrual in August 2007, of approximately $0.3 million for additional severance
benefits and $3.2 million of other cash charges. The subsequent cash charges related to this
restructuring program are expected to be $0.7 million during the remainder of 2007, $2.7 million in
2008 and $0.1 million in 2009. NMHG expects to incur total cash charges of $9.3 million related to
this restructuring program and expects to make payments related to this restructuring program
through early 2009.
In addition to the restructuring charges, NMHG expects to incur additional costs related to this
restructuring program primarily for accelerated depreciation of manufacturing equipment that will
no longer be used and for manufacturing inefficiencies during the phase out of production and the
rearrangement of equipment in its manufacturing plants. The costs are expected to be approximately
$3.1 million during the remainder of 2007, $6.7 million during 2008 and $0.9 million during 2009.
Estimated benefits from this restructuring program are expected to be approximately $15 million in
2009 and are expected to rise to approximately $20 million annually at maturity in 2011.
