Manitou: Q4 2020 Sales Revenues

* Cumulative 12-month sales of EUR1,585m, -24% vs. 2019, -24% like for like*
* Q4 20 order intake on equipment of EUR727m vs. EUR483m in Q4 19
* End of Q4 20 order book on equipment at EUR918m vs. EUR595m in Q4 19
* Outlook for a 2021 revenue up by around 10% compared to 2020

/Ancenis, 28 January 2021  -   Michel Denis, President and Chief Executive
Officer, stated: "The group closes the year 2020 in line with revenues of
EUR1585 million slightly above our expectations and with a record order intake
in the last quarter. This sequence of recovery, much stronger than initially
anticipated, reflects the tremendous work of the teams and gives the group a
new impetus for 2021.
In the fourth quarter, customer requests accelerated month after month to end
with a magnitude previously unknown until December. All geographies and markets
were dynamic, including European and North American rental companies. We thus
ended the year with the second highest level of order book we have never
experienced before.
This increase in our backlog reinforces the group's commercial positioning. It
leads us to accelerate our production rates on all sites. This exercise will
involve our entire supply chain. However, the health context and economic
uncertainties could impact business in 2021.
Given this much more favorable context and these exogenous pressures, we
anticipate sales growth for 2021 of more than 10% over the previous year. "
