MILLER INDUSTRIES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Certain statements in this presentation may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “continue”, “future”, “potential”, “believe”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “seek”, “estimate”, “predict”, “expect”, “anticipate” and similar expressions, or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology and include, without limitation, any statements relating to our 2025 revenues or profitability. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. Such forward-looking statements are made based on our management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other things: our ability to accurately match the timing and quantities of component purchases, including chassis, to our actual needs; our ability to successfully manage our inventory, including inventory in our distribution channel, or our workforce to adapt to the increased complexity in our supply chain; our dependence upon outside suppliers for component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products; changes in price, availability, delivery delays or unpredictable delivery schedules of component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products, resulting from changes in demand and economic conditions, the level of tariffs that the U.S. imposes on imported steel, aluminum, and other commodities or component parts and any resulting trade wars or any trade restrictions, the general inflationary environment; government regulations (including the California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation), global economic events and other factors, such as restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; the potential negative impacts of changing interest rates and other rising costs of equipment ownership, such as increasing insurance premiums, on customer demand, including the impact on our customers’ and end users’ access to capital and credit to fund purchases; increases in the cost of skilled labor; our ability to raise capital, including to grow our business, pursue strategic investments, and take advantage of financing or other opportunities that we believe to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders due to the significant additional indebtedness we incurred during 2022 and 2023; the cyclical nature of our industry and changes in consumer confidence; special risks from our sales to U.S. and other governmental entities through prime contractors; changes in fuel and other transportation costs, insurance costs and weather conditions, such as hurricanes; changes in government regulations, including environmental and health and safety regulations; failure to comply with domestic and foreign anti-corruption laws; competition in our industry and our ability to attract or retain customers; our ability to develop or acquire proprietary products and technology; assertions against us relating to intellectual property rights; changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs and any resulting trade wars; the effects of regulations relating to conflict minerals; the catastrophic loss of one of our manufacturing facilities; environmental and health and safety liabilities and requirements; loss of the services of our key executives; product warranty or product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage; potential recalls of components or parts manufactured for us by suppliers or potential recalls of defective products; an inability to acquire insurance at commercially reasonable rates; a disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or any violation of data protection laws; and those other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which discussion is incorporated herein by this reference. Such factors are not exclusive. Given these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, Miller Industries, Inc.
