On August 9, 1994, the Board of Directors changed the Company's
fiscal year from the Saturday nearest to June 30 of each calendar year
to December 31 of each calendar year. Such change in fiscal years
resulted in a transition period from July 3, 1994 through December 31,
1994. For further information concerning the transition period see
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--Fiscal Year" on page 28 of
the 1996 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
- ----------------------
Foodservice
- -----------
The Foodservice Products business segment designs, manufactures,
and markets commercial ice cube machines, ice storage bins, ice cube
dispensers, and related accessories including water filtration
systems, as well as reach-in and walk-in refrigerators and freezers.
Serving the needs of foodservice, lodging, convenience store, and
healthcare operations worldwide, the Company has captured a leading
percentage of the commercial ice cube machine, reach-in and walk-in
refrigerator market.
Several models of automatic ice cube making and dispensing
machines are designed, manufactured and marketed by Manitowoc
Equipment Works. Offering daily production capacities from 160 to
1,890 pounds, Manitowoc ice machines are complemented by storage bins
with capacities from 220 to 760 pounds; countertop ice and beverage
dispensers with capacities to 160 pounds; floor-standing ice
dispensers with capacities to 180 pounds; and optional accessories
such as water filters and ice baggers. The reach-in refrigerators and
freezers are available in one, two or three-door models that provide
gross storage capacities of 23.1, 47.8 and 73.7 cubic feet,
respectively.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Company completed the purchase of
The Shannon Group, Inc. ("Shannon"). Shannon is a manufacturer of
commercial refrigerators, freezers and related products, ranging from
small under-counter units to 300,000 square foot refrigerated
warehouses. Among its wide range of products, Shannon is best known
for its foamed-in-place walk-in refrigeration units, wood rail walk-in
units, refrigerated food-prep tables, reach-in refrigerator/freezers
and modular refrigeration systems. Shannon supplies walk-in
refrigerator/freezers to many of the leading restaurant and grocery
chains in the United States. See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 31 of the 1996 Annual Report, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
The acquisition of The Shannon Group, Inc. has made Foodservice
equipment the Company's largest business segment. Prior to the
acquisition, Foodservice represented 35% of the Company's total sales.
In calendar 1996, Shannon and Manitowoc Equipment Works account for
48% of the Company's sales and 54% of the segment operating earnings.
-3-
During 1996, Manitowoc Equipment Works introduced the new
J-Series 1300 and 1800 ice-cube machines that feature a single
evaporator rather than two that were used in earlier models. This
improves reliability, simplifies maintenance, and reduces operating
cost. All new J-Series models feature HFC refrigerants and our
patented self-cleaning system, which cleans and sanitizes our ice
machines at a flip of a switch. An automated self-cleaning system is
also available as an option.
In fiscal 1993, the foodservice products group introduced a new
line of ice machines that use an environmentally enlightened
refrigerant. The "B-Series" includes ten models which are
complemented by seven ice storage bins. For added customer
convenience, the "B" models also feature standard self-cleaning and
optional automatic-cleaning systems that improve reliability while
simplifying maintenance.
The Company also introduced in 1993 the industry's first reach-in
cooler that uses an environmentally enlightened refrigerant. In
addition, our Foodservice group received a U.S. patent covering the
drop-in refrigeration units for its reach-in cabinets.
During 1995, Manitowoc Equipment Works was certified as meeting
ISO-9001 quality standards - the highest international rating for
quality management systems.
The Company completed arrangements with a joint-venture partner,
Hangzhou Household Electric Appliance Industrial Corporation, to
produce ice machines in China during calendar 1995. The joint-venture
factory has begun production of the Company's new model I-25 ice
machine. The I-25 produces 30 pounds of ice per day. It was
developed to meet the needs of customers in overseas markets that do
not require the 160 to 1,890 pound daily outputs of the standard ice
making models.
The Foodservice Products business segment sales are made from the
Company's inventory and sold worldwide through independent wholesale
distributors, chain accounts, and government agencies. The
distribution network now extends to 80 distributors in 70 countries
within Western Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, the Near East,
Latin America, North America, the Carribbean, and Africa. A new
distribution facility in Rotterdam, Holland has enabled the Company to
increase sales of ice and refrigerated foodservice equipment in
Europe.
Since sales are made from the Company's inventory, orders are
generally filled within 24 to 48 hours. The backlog for unfilled
orders for Foodservice Products at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were not
significant.
Cranes and Related Products
- ----------------------------
The Company designs and manufactures a diversified line of
crawler, truck, fixed-base mounted, and hydraulically-powered cranes,
which are sold under the "Manitowoc", "Manitex", and "West-
Manitowoc, Inc." names for use by the energy, construction, mining,
pulp and paper, and other industries. Many of the Company's customers
purchase one crane together with several options to permit use of the
crane in various lifting applications and other operations. Various
crane models combined with available options have lifting capacities
ranging from approximately 10 to 1,500 U.S. tons and excavating
capacities ranging from 3 to 15 cubic yards.
-4-
The Company has developed a line of hydraulically-driven,
electronically-controlled M-Series crawler cranes. M-Series cranes
are easier to transport, operate and maintain, as well as being more
productive in a number of applications. Six models, along with
various attachments, have been introduced to-date with lifting
capacities ranging from 65 to 1,500 U.S. tons.
In July 1995, the Company's large-crane operation completed a
plant consolidation to a single site within Manitowoc, Wisconsin in
order to streamline the manufacturing process. The consolidation has
reduced production costs, shortened the cycle from order to shipment,
and has made it easier to respond to shifts in market demand.
During 1995, Manitowoc Engineering introduced the Model-888.
The 888 is a lattice boom crawler crane with a lifting capacity of 230
U.S. tons. Because of its innovative design, the 888 will self-
assemble and be ready to work on a jobsite in as little as one hour.
Other cranes of similar size and configuration take many more hours to
assemble before they can be put to work.
During 1996, Manitowoc introduced two innovative attachments for
its highly successful Model 888. The 888 RINGER is a 45-foot diameter
attachment that boosts the 888's nominal capacity to 660 U.S. tons.
For long-reach applications, the 888 can also be rigged with a
luffing-jib attachment that delivers a 105,500-pound maximum capacity
and allows the 888 to operate with a maximum combination of 370 feet
of boom and luffing jib. The new Model-777 liftcrane, somewhat
smaller than the 888, is set to be introduced in 1997.
The Company also performs machining, fabricating and assembly
subcontract work utilizing its crane manufacturing facilities. The
Company also has a remanufacturing facility in Bauxite, Arkansas which
buys older cranes for remanufacture and rebuilds and sells the
finished units through the distribution channels mentioned below.
Customer owned cranes are also remanufactured at this facility.
In fiscal 1994, the Company launched a completely new business
unit - West-Manitowoc. Its prime target is the smaller, independent
contractors and rental-fleet customers who need smaller, less
complicated, easily transportable, and more versatile cranes that meet
the needs of a broad range of users.
To serve this growing market, West-Manitowoc has developed a new
line of value-priced cranes with those characteristics. The first of
these, the 90-ton lifting capacity Model-222 crane, formerly known as
the West-100, has successfully captured a large portion of the rental
market for self-erecting cranes. During 1997, West-Manitowoc will
introduce the 222EX, a self-erecting crawler crane that will serve the
specialized needs of bridge and foundation contractors. West will
further broaden its product line by introducing the Model-111, a 65-
ton crawler crane designed to serve the varied demands of the general
construction market.
As West-Manitowoc introduces additional models in the 50 to 130-
ton range, Manitowoc Engineering will phase out production of small M-
Series models and concentrate solely on high-end cranes for customers
with specialized needs.
In February 1994, the Company acquired the assets of Femco
Machine Co. Femco Machine Co. is a manufacturer of parts for cranes,
draglines, and other heavy equipment. Femco is located in
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and Pompano Beach, Florida.
-5-
Femco and Manitowoc Re-Manufacturing together form the
Aftermarket Group. These companies rebuild and remanufacture used
cranes, both Manitowoc and non-Manitowoc units, for owners who want to
add value to their existing cranes. Femco's existing South Florida
operation is ideally positioned to serve the large Latin American
market where used cranes are the order of the day.
In February, 1996, the Company announced the sale of Orley Meyer,
the Wisconsin-based unit which produced overhead cranes of up to 50-
ton capacity. Although Orley Meyer was a profitable and well-run
operation, its product line was outside the Company's core business
interests.
The Company's cranes and related products are sold throughout
North America and foreign countries by independent distributors, and
by Company- owned sales subsidiaries located in Mokena, Illinois; and
Northampton, England. In July, 1996, the Company sold its sales
subsidiary in Benicia, California. During calendar 1995, the Company
sold its sales subsidiaries in Long Island City, New York; LaMirada,
California; Seattle, Washington; and Chur, Switzerland. In fiscal
1993, the Company sold two previously owned sales subsidiaries located
in Davie, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Distributors generally do not carry inventories of new cranes,
except for the smaller truck cranes. Most distributors maintain
service facilities and inventories of replacement parts. Company
employed service representatives usually assist customers in the
initial set-up of new cranes.
The Company does not generally provide financing for either its
independent distributors or their customers; however, dealers
frequently assist customers in arranging financing and may accept used
cranes as partial payment on the sale of new cranes.
See Note 14 to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 33 of
the 1996 Annual Report with respect to export sales, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Such sales are usually made to the
Company's foreign subsidiaries or independent distributors, in
addition to sales made to domestic customers for foreign delivery.
Foreign sales are made on Letter of Credit or similar terms.
The year-end backlog of crane products includes orders which have
been placed on a production schedule, and those orders which the
Company has accepted and which are expected to be shipped and billed
during the next fiscal year. The backlog of unfilled orders for
cranes and related products at December 31, 1996 approximates $136.0
million, as compared with $85.8 million a year earlier. The increase
is primarily due to the continued positive customer acceptance of the
Company's Model-888 crane, initial orders for the new Model-777 crane,
one M-1200 RINGER, and four 888 RINGERs.
Marine
- ------
The Company had been a shipbuilder since its inception in 1902.
For almost seven decades, all shipbuilding operations were conducted
in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Two adjoining shipyards in Sturgeon Bay,
Wisconsin, were acquired in 1968 and 1970, and all shipbuilding
activities were transferred to those facilities.
-6-
In January, 1992, the Company acquired substantially all the
assets of Merce Industries, Inc. Merce Industries, Inc. operated the
ship repair facility owned by the Port Authority of Toledo, Ohio, and
similar operations in Cleveland, Ohio. Included with the acquisition
was the assumption of a lease agreement with the Port Authority for
the ship repair facilities.
The Marine Group (made up of BSC, Toledo Shiprepair Co., and
Cleveland Shiprepair Co.) dry-docks and services commercial vessels of
all sizes, including 1,000-foot super carriers, the largest vessels
sailing the Great Lakes. The Marine Group's capabilities include
planned and emergency maintenance, vessel inspections, five-year
surveys, conversions, repowering, and retrofitting plus repair service
for hulls, turbines, boilers, propulsion systems and cargo systems.
To reduce seasonality, the Marine Group has begun to perform non-
marine industrial repair during the summer months.
In July, 1996, Bay Shipbuilding Co. (BSC), a division in the
Company's Marine Group, completed construction of a self-unloading
cement barge for a Great Lakes customer. BSC intends to pursue these
types of projects with other Great Lakes customers.
The year-end backlog for the marine segment includes repair and
maintenance work presently scheduled at the shipyard which will be
completed in the next fiscal year. At December 31, 1996 the backlog
approximates $5.9 million, compared to $21.2 million one year ago.
The 1995 backlog included construction of the self-unloading cement
barge.
Raw Materials and Supplies
- ----------------------------
The primary raw material used by the Company is structural and
rolled steel, which is purchased from various domestic sources. The
Company also purchases engines and electrical equipment and other
semi- and fully-processed materials. It is the policy of the Company
to maintain, wherever possible, alternate sources of supply for its
important materials and parts. The Company maintains inventories of
steel and other purchased material.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses
- ------------------------------
The Company owns a number of United States and foreign patents
pertaining to the crane and foodservice products, and has presently
pending applications for patents in the United States and foreign
countries. In addition, the Company has various registered and
unregistered trademarks and licenses which are of material importance
to the Company's business.
Seasonality
- -----------
Typically, the second calendar quarter represents the Company's
best quarter in all of the business segments. Since the summer brings
along warmer weather, there is an increase in the use of ice machines.
As a result, distributors are building inventories for the increased
demand. In the cranes and related products segment, summer also
represents the main construction season. Customers require new
machines, parts, and service prior to such season. With respect to the
Marine segment, the Great Lakes shipping industry's sailing season is
normally May through November. Thus, barring any emergency
groundings, the majority of repair and maintenance work is performed
during the winter months. Accordingly, the work is typically
completed during the second calendar quarter of the year.
-7-
Competition
- ------------
All of the Company's products are sold in highly competitive
markets. Competition is at all levels, including price, service and
product performance.

Manitowoc is a world leader of this equipment.
The competitors within the boom truck crane market include
Simon-R.O. Corp., Olathe, Kansas; National Crane, Waverly, Nebraska;
and JLG, McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. The Company believes that its
current output of boom truck cranes ranks second among its
competitors.
In the ship repair operation, the Company is one of three
operational shipyards on the Great Lakes capable of drydocking and
servicing 1000 foot Great Lakes bulk carriers; the others are Erie
Marine Enterprises, Erie, Pennsylvania, and Port Weller Dry Docks, St.
Catherines, Ontario, Canada. There are two other shipyards on the
Great Lakes, Fraser Shipyards, Inc., Superior, Wisconsin, and H.
Hansen Industries, Toledo, Ohio, with whom the Company competes for
drydocking and servicing smaller Great Lakes vessels. The Company
also competes with many smaller firms which perform top side repair
work during the winter lay-up period. In addition, there are
shipyards on the East, West and Gulf Coasts capable of converting and
reconstructing vessels of sizes that can enter the Great Lakes through
the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Wellen Canal. There are also
shipyards on the inland rivers capable of servicing smaller,
specialized vessels which the Company is capable of servicing.
-8-
Employee Relations
- --------------------
The Company employs approximately 2,900 persons, of whom about
540 are salaried. The number of employees is consistent with the

REPORT OF FORMER INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Manitowoc Company, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of The Manitowoc
Company, Inc. (a Wisconsin corporation) as of July 2, 1994, and the
related statement of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flow for
the fiscal year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Manitowoc Company, Inc. as of July 2, 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
