HYSTER-YALE, INC. ANNOUNCES AUTHORIZATION OF $50 MILLION STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

CLEVELAND, Nov. 18, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Hyster-Yale, Inc. (NYSE: HY) announced today that the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 millionor 1.5 million shares, whichever comes first, of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock. "The Board of Directors' approval of this stock repurchase program reflects confidence in the Company's balance sheet and business outlook," said Rajiv K. Prasad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hyster-Yale, Inc. "This stock repurchase authorization is well aligned with our capital allocation strategy designed to support long-term profitable growth and fuel shareholder return as the business generates free cash flow."

The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by the Company's management based on a number of factors. The stock repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and will expire no later than November 2027. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We expect that the repurchases will generally be executed through open-market purchases from time to time including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so.

Hyster-Yale has approximately 17.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, 14.1 million shares of which are Class A Common Stock as of November 14, 2024.
