PART 1: ECONOMIC INFORMATION
1 - REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW
Haulotte Group ranks among the worldwide leaders in the market for self-propelled aerial work platforms both
as a manufacturer of the main equipment categories (telescopic booms, articulating booms, scissor lifts, vertical
masts) and as a distributor on five continents.
In a worldwide market for aerial work platforms that showed significant growth, Haulotte Group SA’s turnover
increased by €24 million, so +13%, in 2021 compared to 2020.
In Europe, the Group recorded overall growth in sales in almost all markets compared to the previous year.
In the Asia-Pacific region, the Group which, in the 4th quarter, achieved its best quarter of the year, still showed a
decrease in cumulated sales in comparison to 2020.
In North America, the growth in activity continued, which enabled Haulotte to record a turnover on all of its
activities, mainly driven by platform sales.
In Latin America, in a well-oriented market in all the countries, Haulotte recorded a growth in sales in
comparison with 2020, mainly driven by Brazil.
The financial year ended 31 December 2021, submitted for approval to the ordinary general meeting, is the
Company’s thirty-seventh year of operations since its creation.
2 - PROGRESS MADE OR DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
The increasing supply issues for components and the significant increase in prices experienced in the second
part of the year, meant that the Group was not able to fully benefit from the excellent sales momentum during
the 2021 financial year.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
3.2 Changes in the presentation of the annual accounts or methods of
valuation, applied in prior years
We inform you that the annual financial statements were prepared according to the same presentation and
methods used in prior periods, with the exception of the following point.
Following the IFRS IC Decision, which concluded that the provision of benefits to be accounted for can only
include the period covering an employee's last 16 years of service (or between the date of employment and the
date of retirement if the period, thus determined, is less than 16 years), an upturn of €1m was calculated at the
opening.
Changes in accounting methods are presented in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to
the separate annual financial statements.
3.3 Analysis of parent company results
Despite the increase in volumes, the net margin decreased by €4 million between 2020 and 2021, i.e. a decline of
-13%. At the same time, structural costs were up by €1 million (+4%) in 2021. The level of fees received from our
foreign plants was down by -€3 million due to the decline in margins impacted by the supply difficulties and the
increase in the price of components. Haulotte Group SA’s operating result for the year came to -€22 million for
2021 compared to -€18 million in 2020. The financial loss is linked to the depreciation in the net situations of the
subsidiaries which is offset in part by the effect of positive change.
In light of the above, FY2021 ended with a net loss of -€34 million.
As required by article R.225-102 of the French Code of Commerce, this report includes a table summarising the
results of the Company over the last five years.

6 - KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES – THE COMPANY’S EXPOSURE TO RISKS
CONCERNING PRICE, CREDIT, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES –
INFORMATION ON MARKET RISKS
In accordance with the provisions of article L.225-100-1 of the French Code of Commerce, a description of key
risks and uncertainties facing the Company is presented below.
6.1 Key risks and uncertainties:
Because the company outsources a significant share of its production, the sourcing capacities of its suppliers
constitute a primary risk. To prevent risks of supply chain disruptions, the strategy of diversifying suppliers, widely
adopted for a number of years, must be continued. For several years, the credit situation of suppliers considered
to represent greater risk has been monitored and specific measures have been taken to ensure that the
industrial model remains constantly in sync with market demand.
Market risk is the second significant risk factor. On that basis, visibility has improved though caution continues to
be necessary, against the backdrop of a global environment marked by continuing uncertainties.
Another significant risk is the sensitivity of sales to credit restrictions in financial markets. HAULOTTE GROUP
proposes financing solutions to its customers either through a financing entity or, for a non-significant
percentage of sales, direct financing, while maintaining receivable risks at a reasonable level.
6.2 The Company’s exposure to risks concerning price, credit, liquidity
and capital resources
The majority of the Company’s sales is generated through its distribution subsidiaries. Despite fierce
competition, these subsidiaries have successfully maintained the level of sale prices for new products.
As provided for in the syndicated credit agreement signed on 17 July 2019, a request for an extension of one
additional year was accepted unanimously by the lenders, bringing the expiry date of the contract to 17 July
2026.
The impact of the strong recovery of activity and the resulting supply difficulties led Haulotte to submit to all
lenders participating in the Syndicated Credit Facility a request to waive compliance with the ratios for the
period from December 2021. This request was unanimously and unconditionally accepted on 15 February 2022.
7 - USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - COMPANY FINANCIAL RISK
MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICY
The Company does not systematically hedge interest rate and foreign exchange risk.
However, transactions are carried out according to market opportunities. In such cases, they are destined to
cover existing assets or liabilities rather than for speculative purposes.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
8 - FORSEEABLE CHANGES IN THE COMPANY’S SITUATION AND OUTLOOK
In a global context which remains uncertain, the excellent sales momentum observed in the last few months,
which has translated into historic order levels, should result in a sustained recovering in the activity at the
Haulotte Group SA's production sites, and thus result in an increase in sales levels of around 45%.
In 2022, despite the upturn in activity, the pressure on the price of raw materials will continue and the
operational profit should remain negative.
9 - IMPORTANT POST-CLOSING EVENTS BETWEEN THE END OF THE
FINANCIAL PERIOD AND THE DATE OF THE MANAGEMENT REPORT
The post-closing events are detailed in Note 3 of the Annexes to the company accounts.
10 - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
The Company's research and development efforts continued in the period.
2021 stood out for the launch of several new models:
In February: launch of the new range of PULSEO all-terrain electric scissor lifts. Two new 15- and 18-metre
models are available in two versions: HS15E and HS15E PRO, HS18E and HS18E PRO. The presence of an
optional removable Range Extender is one of the main innovations of this new range. Introduced in 2018,
this electrical design will continue to build on the Group's "Blue Strategy", as borne by the PULSEO brand
and recognisable on the Group's all-terrain electric versions of the machines.
In March: replacement of the range of 15-metre electric platforms now available in two 16-metre versions:
Sigma 16 and Sigma 16 PRO.
In addition, from January onwards, the Group offered its SHERPAL telematics solution which includes several
functionalities for managing teams remotely, proposing three levels of offer ranging from geolocation, through
equipment monitoring and remote troubleshooting services, to on-site fleet management.
At the same time, the Company expanded its research into energy transition applicable to its products,
specifically regarding fuel cells..
The medium-term objective of these R&D efforts is to accelerate the roll-out of new machines and to renew the
services offered.
Research and development expenditure amounted to €13,877,000 in 2021.

12 - INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES ADOPTED
BY THE COMPANY AND IN PARTICULAR THOSE RELATING TO THE
PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OF FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING
INFORMATION
A. Objectives of the Company in the areas of internal control and risk
management procedures
The purpose of internal control procedures in force in the company is to ensure that management and
operating practices, as well as employee behaviour, adhere to the framework defined by the guidelines set out
for Company activities by governing bodies, applicable laws and regulations, and the values, standards and
internal rules of the Company, to verify that the accounting, financial and management information provided to
the Company’s corporate governance bodies fairly reflect the operation and situation of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
One of the objectives of internal control is to prevent and manage the risks arising from the business operations
of the company and its subsidiaries and the risk of error or fraud, in particular in the accounting and financial
areas (operating, financial, compliance or other risks).
As with any control system, it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee that these risks have been
completely eliminated.
B. Summary of procedures in place
a) General organisation for internal control and risk management procedures at the
Company level
Each department at the head office and in subsidiaries is responsible for implementing and monitoring internal
control procedures.
These internal control procedures are placed under the responsibility of the Group Finance Department and the
Secretariat General, which draw up the procedures, promote their application and ensure their consistency and
proper functioning. A core body of written internal procedures is available for consultation on the Company's
intranet.
Accordingly, the different participants in the internal control process within the Company include:
- the Finance and Information Systems Division (including Internal Control, Management Control, Credit
Management, Consolidation and Reporting, Group Accounting and Information Systems),
- the Secretariat General (including the Legal and Human Resources Departments),
- the Industrial Division (including the Quality and Operational Excellence Department).
In 2021, an internal audit committee was set up within the Company, consisting of employees from the different
operational departments.
During 2021, this group worked on the following elements:
- Defining a corporate risk assessment methodology, tailored to risks of any kind,
- Identifying the existing control procedures,
- Linking said risks and procedures to the process mapping in place in the organization,
- Establishing an audit plan to begin in 2022 and the procedures for its implementation (by the employees
responsible or, where appropriate, by third parties).
This committee reports to two COMEX members: the Finance Director and the Secretary General. The
Company's audit committee is informed of the steps taken and the conclusions reached.

REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
b) Presentation of summarised internal control and risk management procedures
adopted by the Company
Finance Division:
The Finance Division draws up written procedures covering the main subjects and financial flows within the
Group. These procedures are disseminated to all financial contacts at the head office and subsidiaries, and
updated on a regular basis.
The Finance Division includes the following departments:
• Internal control
The Group’s internal control is placed under the responsibility of the Executive Committee (COMEX).
It extends to all Group subsidiaries and concerns the entire organisation (administrative, accounting and
financial, functional and operational processes).
Main missions include:
- Ensuring that risks are controlled and managed
- Implementing internal procedures and contributing to improvement thereof
- Implementing a continuous improvement approach
• Management Control Department:
This department includes two units :
- an industrial management control unit represented at each production site, and by a dedicated team at
headquarters for R&D, purchasing and quality functions,
- a management control unit for distribution subsidiaries, spearheaded from the head office, ensuring
financial oversight for the Group’s different distribution and service subsidiaries in coordination with the
regional financial controllers.
In addition, the regional financial controller acts as an intermediary between the Group and the controller for
each subsidiary in its region. This division ensures management control for the support and equipment rental
business functions.
These teams contribute to implementing the internal control procedures by:
- ensuring the security of assets, particularly through inventory procedures,
- ensuring and assisting in the dissemination of the Group's accounting and management rules,
- ensuring that expenditures are incurred in accordance with the budget set out at the beginning of each
period and within the framework of the rules for incurring expenses and delegations of authority defined
by the Group.
• Cash Management Department:
This department is responsible for the following activities:
- cash management,
- management of banking relations and bank balancing transactions, management of multi-currency cash
positions,
- credit management.
Missions include:
- ensuring that the principles set out for managing customer credit risk are properly applied, and controlling
the exposure of the Group’s main customers. To this end, it monitors accounts receivable developments for
all subsidiaries, controls the levels of outstanding balances and reconciles the cash budget with
outstanding trade receivables of subsidiaries,
- organising collection, monitoring outstanding financing amounts and consolidating all Group financial
commitments.
12
haulotte.com l 2021 MANAGEMENT REPORT
MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
• Consolidation and Reporting Department :
This department is responsible for producing the consolidated annual and interim financial accounts and the
corresponding financial communications as well as monthly reporting.
This department assists the local financial managers in applying financial reporting procedures in accordance
with IFRS. It also conducts a number of visits to the subsidiaries to ensure these procedures are applied.
• Group Accounting Department:
This department is responsible for accounting for Haulotte Group SA. It is also responsible for coordinating and
managing the transfer pricing policy at the Group level.
• Information Systems department:
In 2019, Haulotte decided to modernize its IT system and to inject new governance, in connection with the
strategic plan through the "Shift to a Digital Company" pillar. Over two years, the Group's ISD has modernized in
terms of project management, with a robust methodology, aimed at securing project completions. Today,
performance culture is at the heart of the ISD's activity, both in terms of BUILD (projects) and also RUN (daily
support activities). In two years, the number of completed projects has doubled, whilst still maintaining a
constant workforce on the project teams. The number of unresolved user requests has greatly decreased, going
from 1,600 to less than 300. By mid-2021, this enabled us to have an effective and operational ISD, recognized by
all for its efficiency.
At the halfway point in 2021, a new strategic IT plan was put in place to improve performance even further.
Named "5 Foundations", it is based on maintaining build and run performance basics (IT Basic), developing an
offer for the business divisions and subsidiaries and an IS value creator (Business Value), shifting towards
developing digital skills: both human and technical (User Centricity), a paradigm shift to put DATA at the heart of
the Group's mechanisms (DATA) and, lastly, focusing significantly on taking security into account in light of the
cybercrime situation (IT Security).
The stategic plan has already been partly implemented and is assessed each month to ensure it aligns and fits
with the Group's ambitions. In this context, topics such as Green-IT, user satisfaction, implementing a CRM
system, developing ERP, supporting activities in Asia, and putting in place digital training for users, Haulotte
connected platforms, IS penetration tests and data monetization, all take shape within the project plan - without
impairing the 2021 fundamentals.
Secretariat General:
• Group Legal Division
The company’s Legal Division, which expanded recently, operates at many levels within the company and assists
the various departments in managing their projects, in terms of partnership development (drafting and
analysing contracts, drawing up standard documents, etc.), advising operational staff (R&D, intellectual property,
sales departments, etc.), managing disputes and monitoring the legal status of the Group's companies.
The Legal Division, which positions itself as a real business partner within the company, participates in several
internal working groups, including:
- “Safety Committees”: held on a regular basis (every two months, or whenever necessary), these meetings
bring together all parties concerned by effective management of technical and legal monitoring initiatives
regarding incidents and accidents known to the Group and involving one of our products.
- “Intellectual Property (IP) Committees”, which regularly bring together the Secretariat General, the
Marketing Department and the Group Intellectual Property Manager. These periodic meetings provide a
mechanism for monitoring filings and intellectual property disputes for the Group as a whole. They also
serve as a means to notify different participants of the existence of prior rights.
Several internal communications actions are implemented by the Legal Division in collaboration with the
Finance and Communications teams and the IT Services department, in order to inform and alert employees
about the risks of fraud for social engineering and how to combat the latter. In this regard, the Legal Division is
the formal contact point for the Authorities in the event of fraud or attempted fraud (Police, ISDG, etc.).
More broadly, the Legal Division collaborates with all departments concerned with legal matters and provides its
support to all divisions within the Company.
13
haulotte.com | 2021 MANAGEMENT REPORT
MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Lastly, the Legal Division regularly participates in meetings organised by Middlenext, providing a forum for
exchange and discussion of legislative and regulatory developments concerning listed companies and new
obligations to be met by the Company. It also participates in working meetings organised by the trade
associations of its industry sector (FIM, EVOLIS).
• Human Resources Department
The Human Resources Department has a central support service (recruitment, training, wages and personnel
administration). Furthermore, a Human Resources Manager is present on each of our sites and works closely
with the director of the establishment on all HR issues, including occupational health and safety.
A QSE policy, applied in all Group entities, sets out Management’s various commitments in terms of occupational
health and safety.
A safety committee, led by the Europe HRD, meets regularly throughout the year to discuss the various safety
indicators (number of accidents, frequency and severity) and best practice in terms of prevention.
A “safety challenge” agreement aimed at enhancing prevention of work-related accidents was renewed in 2021
and will be renewed again in 2022.
Regarding recruitment and human resources management, the Human Resources department complies with
the “Ten Golden Rules and Management Group”, which sets out the fundamental regulatory principles
applicable to employees of all Group entities.
Country reviews take place regularly with all the distribution subsidiaries and industrial sites, with a view to
strengthening links and encouraging exchanges among teams. They also provide an opportunity to discuss
relations between employees and management at each site. The country review also serves to allow each
subsidiary to present its organisational structure, operating procedures and Key Performance Indicators for
different departments.
Lastly, the Human Resources Department uses a forward-looking employment and skills management tool
(Foederis), which has been rolled out in all Group companies.
Industrial Division
The Chief Quality and Operational Excellence Officer determines and implements the quality strategy,
determines the applicable frames of reference (system, ISO, procedures, etc.) and manages a continuous
improvement approach at every level of the Company.
The programme known as “Yello”, established in April 2020, was deployed at Group level during the 2021 financial
year. In this regard, 80 maturity grids were produced by different teams within several entities. Each entity is
then responsible for putting an action plan in place to improve their maturity level and their performance level.
In addition, initial training on the operational excellence tools and methods took place: 45 people responsible for
implementing said policy were trained, as well as around twenty faciliators.
Lastly, the Chief Quality and Operational Excellence Officer is a member of the internal audit group whose
mission is to map and define the Group's internal risks, and to propose a suitable audit program.

c) Risks associated with producing financial and accouting information
The Reporting & Consolidation Department is responsible for producing the interim and annual consolidated
financial statements, under the oversight of the Group Finance Department and Executive Management.
This department ensures the quality of the monthly accounting closings for the different Group companies,
managed, according to the case, by local accounting departments or chartered accountants for small size
subsidiaries, and their restatement according to applicable IFRS standards.
Consistent application of Group accounting principles is ensured by this same department, which is also
responsible for monitoring changes in standards.
The most important accounting principles, and namely those which may have a material impact on the Group's
accounts, are documented and distributed to all subsidiaries. These concern standards for recognising financing
transactions, revenue recognition, the impairment or non-collection of trade receivables, provisions for
inventories, rules for the depreciation and amortisation of fixed assets.
In accordance with local regulations, financial and accounting information is verified by local auditors. The
Group's joint statutory auditors review the consolidated financial statements with the assistance of local auditors
or undertake their own audit assignments if necessary.
In the final phase, financial and accounting information is approved by the Board of Directors for the first six-
month period and annually, after being presented to the Board of Directors convened in the capacity of Audit
Committee.
The Board of Directors also fulfils the functions of the Audit Committee. It ensures the efficacy of the internal
control and risk management systems for financial areas, in addition to monitoring the process for producing
financial information. It reports on its mission to the Board of Directors.
The entire process for producing and processing financial and accounting information described above
contributes to managing and limiting risks in this area.

PART 5: GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT
In accordance with the provisions of articles L.233-16 and L.225-100-1 of the French Code of Commerce, we hereby
report to you on the management of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2021.
1 - PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Companies included in the scope of consolidation are listed in paragraph 1 of section 2 of this report. The
situation of these companies is described in paragraph 1 of part 1 and in the table contained in paragraph 1 of
part 2 of this report.
The Group’s financial statements at 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards as
adopted by the European Union.
2 - CHANGES IN THE PRESENTATION OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS OR
METHODS OF VALUATION APPLIED IN PRIOR YEARS
No changes were made in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements or methods of valuation
applied in prior years. Changes in accounting methods are presented in the summary of significant accounting
policies in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Following the IFRS IC Decision, which concluded that the provision of benefits to be accounted for can only
include the period covering an employee's last 16 years of service (or between the date of employment and the
date of retirement if the period, thus determined, is less than 16 years), an upturn of €1.1m was calculated at the
opening.
3 - REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS OF THE GROUP FOR THE YEAR
UNDER REVIEW:
With a strong recovery in the worldwide market for aerial work platforms in all geographical areas, Haulotte
recorded an increased turnover between the two periods, driven by all of its activities.
The Group posted a higher current operating result for the year compared to 2020. The increased difficulties
regarding the supply of components and the significant increase in their price observed in the second part of the
year impacted the Group's results despite the excellent sales momentum and the good control over fixed costs
observed during the financial year.

5 - DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE
COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARIES
The main risks and significant uncertainties that could have a significant impact on the Group identified at 31

APPENDIX 2 - BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT ON CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Dear shareholders,
In accordance with the provisions of the last paragraph of article L. 225-37 of the French Code of Commerce, we
hereby present in this report on corporate governance, the disclosure required by regulations in force and
notably those of articles L. 225-37-4 and L22-10-8 of the French Code of Commerce.
The terms of this report were prepared and adopted by the Board of Directors on 8 March 2022.
1 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In accordance with the provisions of article L.22-10-10 of the French Code of Commerce, we hereby report to you
on:
- the composition and conditions for preparing and organising the Board's work;
- the reasons justifying the absence of a diversity policy applied to members of the Board of Directors as well
as information on how the Company seeks to achieve balanced gender representation on the
Management Committee established by executive management for the purpose of regularly assisting the
performance of its general missions and results in terms of gender diversity for the 10% category of senior
positions;
- limitations on the powers of the Chief Executive Officer that may exist;
- in the event that the provisions of the Middlenext Code of corporate governance to which the Company
refers would have been set aside, the reasons for this;
- special procedures for the participation of shareholders in general meetings or provisions of the articles of
association providing for such procedures; and
- description of the procedures put in place by the Company in application of article L.22-10-12 and its
implementation.
1.1 Composition of the Board of Directors and the diversity policy
applied to its members
1.1.1 Choice of the Middlenext Corporate Governance Code
The Company has decided to refer to the Middlenext Code of December 2009 and last revised in September 2021
as its reference for corporate governance in accordance with the provisions of article L.22-10-10, 4 of the French
Code of Commerce. The Company considered that this code was best suited to its size and shareholder
structure.
This code can be consulted on the Middlenext website (www.middlenext.com).
In accordance with the Middlenext Code recommendation 22 revised in September 2021, the Board of Directors
duly noted on 8 March 2022 the specific items calling for vigilance listed therein.

On the date of this report, the Board of Directors has not considered it opportune to implement a diversity policy
within the meaning of article L.22-10-10, 2 of the French Code of Commerce, in light of the family composition,
reduced size and current operations of the Board. However, it is noted that the Board of Directors has been
committed over the last years to open up its membership to figures from the outside contributing a different
perspective on the Board's decisions, in particular by appointing independent directors within the meaning of
the Middlenext Code recommendation 3.

MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
With respect to the company’s efforts to achieve balanced gender representation on the Company’s
management board, the last recruitment concerned a member of the Executive Committee at the end of 2016
(assumption of duties in February 2017). This recruitment was in line with the Company’s goal of increasing the
executive Committee’s international profile and the membership of women resulting in selection of a specialised
firm to that purpose. To date, no woman has applied for this position.
If the recruitment of a new member to the committee should be considered in the future, the Company will
endeavour to follow the same policy with respect to expanding its international profile and the membership of
women.
With respect to its results in the area of gender diversity for the 10% category of senior positions, women
represented 8.33% at 31 December 2021, a decrease of 1.05 points compared to the financial year closed on 31
December 2020.
1.1.3 Application of the principle of balanced gender representation
on the Board of Directors
In compliance with articles L.225-18-1 and L.22-10-3 of the French Code of Commerce, we inform you that on the
date of the report herein the breakdown of directors by gender is as follows:
- Number of male directors: 4;
- Number of female directors: 3.
1.1.4 Independent directors
The notion of independent member adopted is that provided by Recommendation 3 of the Middlenext Code,
and namely:
- they must not have been during the last five years an employee or executive officer of the company or a
company in its group;
- they must not have had any material business relationship with the company or its group for the last two
years (as a client, supplier, competitor, service provider, creditor, banker, etc.);
- they must not be reference shareholders of the Company or hold a significant percentage of voting rights;
- they must not have a close relationship or close family ties with a corporate officer or a reference
shareholder;
- they must not have been an auditor of the company in the course of the previous six years.
On 8 March 2022, the Board of Directors re-examined the situation of its membership with respect to these
criteria of independence. On that basis, it was determined that three were independent under the definition of
the MiddleNext code: Mr. Michel Bouton, Ms. Anne Danis-Fatôme and Ms. Elodie Galko
1.1.5 Terms of office
The term of office of members of the Board of Directors is set at six (6) years. This term was considered by the
company to be in compliance with Recommendation 11 of the Middlenext Code. To date, the Company has not
considered it useful to propose a modification to the articles of association providing for the staggered renewal
of the terms of office of directors, in light of its size and membership.
1.1.6 Conduct of business rules
In accordance with Recommendation 1 of the Middlenext Code, each member of the Board of Directors is made
aware of the obligations arising from his or her appointment and encouraged to adhere to the rules of conduct
relating to his or her appointment. At the beginning of their term of office, each director signs the board's
internal rules of procedure and undertakes notably to:
- comply with the provisions of statute relating to holding multiple offices,
- comply with applicable regulations,
- inform the Board in the event of a conflict of interest arising following appointment to the office,
- demonstrate diligence in attending meetings of the Board and General Meetings,
- ensure that they possess all necessary information for the agenda of the meetings of the Board before
making any decision, and
- comply with, concerning third parties, an absolute obligation of confidentiality exceeding the simple
secrecy obligation, as provided for in the legal texts.

MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
On the date of this report, the Chair-CEO and the Deputy CEO have not accepted other directorships in listed
companies, including foreign companies, outside the Group.
1.1.7 Training for Board Members
Following the new Recommendation 5 added to the Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021, the Board
of Directors decided in their meeting on 8 March 2022 to give some some thought to putting a training plan in
place for members of the Board of Directors in accordance with said recommendation.
1.1.8 Review of known conflicts of interest
In accordance with article 4.3 of the Company's rules of procedure, each director is required to disclose any
situation actually or potentially giving the appearance of a conflict of interest between the corporate interest and
his or her direct or indirect personal interest or the interest of the shareholder or a group of shareholders he or
she represents.
In the event of such situation, the director concerned must:
- inform the Board of Directors as soon as he or she becomes aware of such conflict of interest,
- draw all resulting conclusions regarding the exercise of his or her office. And on this basis, according to the
case he or she must:
- either refrain from participating in the vote on the proceedings in question,
- or refrain from attending the meeting of the Board of Directors during which the conflict of interest
exists,
- or, as an extreme measure, resign from his or her position as director.
On 8 March 2022, in accordance with Middlenext Code Recommendation 2, the Company's Board of Directors
reviewed the known conflicts of interests and no situation of a potential or proven conflict of interest was
brought to its attention.
During the meeting on 8 March 2022, the Board of Directors became aware of the addition made to
Recommendation 2 of the Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021, recommending that services, other
than certifying the accounts (excluding certification coming under the scope of due diligence directly connected
to the role of the auditor and services provided in application of legal or regulatory texts), be entrusted to a
different firm to the company's auditor. The Board of Directors noted that, at the present time, the Company
does not comply with this recommendation, taking into consideration the nature of the services entrusted to
date, their limited nature, and the efficient services performed to the best of the Company's knowledge by its
auditors. However, the Board of Directors confirmed that it will devote some thought to this subject for the
forthcoming financial years.
1.1.9 Choice of members of the Board of Directors
In accordance with Recommendation 10 of the Middlenext Code, when each member of the Board of Directors
is appointed or reappointed, information about their experience, expertise and the list of offices exercised is
provided in the report presented by the Board of Directors to the general meeting to approve the accounts for
the financial year closed on 31 December 2021 and presenting the draft resolutions submitted for your approval.
This information is also made available online on the Company's website. The appointment or renewal of each
member of the Board of Directors is subject to a specific resolution.
1.1.10 Mission of the Board of Directors
In accordance with article 2 of the Board's Rules of procedure, the Board's missions, in addition to the powers
recognised by the law and the articles of association, are as follows:
- Represent all shareholders,
- Issue opinions about all decisions relating to the major strategic, economic, social, financial or technological
priorities of the Company and ensure they are implemented by executive management,
- Look at the question of a succession plan for "Executives" and key people,
- Consider proposals calling for an audit or verification by the Chairman or the audit committee,
- Review items calling for vigilance as set out in the Middlenext Code.
We inform you that during the meeting on 8 March 2022, the Board of Directors decided, in the expectation of
clarification on the application conditions, that it will comply as soon as possible with Recommendation 14 of the
Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021, which recommends that the Board pays specific attention to
32
haulotte.com l 2021 MANAGEMENT REPORT
MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
negative votes by analysing, among others, how the majority of minority voters expressed themselves and, in
view of the next general meeting, to look at opportunities to change what may have given rise to the negative
votes and at the possibility of communication on this subject.
Said Board meeting also took note of the fact that Recommendation 14 of the Middlenext Code, as revised in
September 2021, recommends that executives meet major shareholders who wish to do so before general
meetings, while ensuring compliance with equal information between shareholders. However, the Board
decided that, for the time being, as was already the case following the revision of said Code in September 2016, it
did not wish to put such a procedure in place for systematic meetings with major shareholders for reasons due
mainly to the composition of the Company's shareholding.
With regard to the new Recommendation 15 of the Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021, providing
that the Board of Directors checks that a policy aimed at gender balance and equality has been properly
implemented at every hierarchical level in the company, it is specified that during the meeting on 8 March 2022,
the Board stated that such a procedure is well underway in the company. In fact, a company agreement on the
quality of life at work and workplace equality was signed in 2018 and provides several measures promoting
workplace equality. For 2021, Haulotte obtained a score of 87/100 in the workplace gender equality index.
1.1.11 Evaluation of the Board's work and practices
Following the consideration given, and work conducted, to put in place an evaluation procedure within the
Board, in accordance with Recommendation 13 (ex Recommendation 11) of the Middlenext Code, as revised in
September 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the following procedure for self-assessment, carried out at the
end of each meeting of the Board called to approve the Company’s annual accounts.
- a self-assessment questionnaire, prepared by the Company’s legal department, which is sent to each
director in advance of the Board meeting,
- each questionnaire will be returned to the Legal department following completion in order to prepare a
summary of responses on an anonymous basis to be presented to the Board meeting,
- on the basis of this summary, the Board will be asked to consider measures for improvement to be
implemented in connection with its work for the period in progress.
Following the most recent questionnaire submitted to the directors during the Board of Directors meeting on 8
March 2022, it appeared that the composition and functioning of the Board of Directors and the Audit
Committee are in line with members’ expectations.
During this Board meeting, it was reiterated, in accordance with Recommendation 13 of the Middlenext Code, as
revised in September 2021, that the Board, if it so wishes, can be supported by a third party.
1.1.12 Creation of committees:
In accordance with Recommendation 7 of the Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021, we hereby report
to you on the Company's choice with respect to special committees.
After being made aware of the new Recommendation 8 of the Middlenext Code, as revised in September 2021,
recommending that every Board provides itself with a special committee on Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR), the Board of Directors decided to consider creating such a committee.
1.1.12.1 Audit Committee
On 9 March 2011 the Board of Directors decided to create an Audit Committee in accordance with article L.823-
20, 4 of the French Code of Commerce for an unlimited period.
The functioning and the attributes of the Company's Audit Committee are described in article 6 of the
Company's rules of procedures available for consultation on the Company's website.
1.1.12.2 Composition

On the date of this report, the Board of Directors, when it meets for the purpose of exercising the missions of
Audit Committee, is comprised of the following five members:
- José Monfront
- Hadrien Saubot

by law and the Company's articles of association.
In accordance with Recommendation 7 of the Middlenext Code in its version of September 2016 (which became

MANAGEMENT
REPORT
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
3 - REMUNERATION POLICY ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
(ARTICLE L. 22-10-8 OF THE FRENCH CODE OF COMMERCE)
In accordance with articles L.22-10-8 and R.22-10-14 of the French Code of Commerce as amended by Order
2020-1142 of 16 September 2020 and Decree 2020-1742 of 29 December 2020, a description is provided in this
section of the remuneration policy of the Company applicable to all officers for the period ending 31 December
2021.
As a reminder, Mr Pierre Saubot and Mr Alexandre Saubot received remuneration solely for their respective
offices of Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Solem, a simplified French joint stock company (société par actions
simplifiée) with share capital of €476,735.25 having its registered office at 187 Route de Saint Leu in Epinay-sur-
Seine (93806) and registered in Bobigny (RCS No. 332 978 162) (hereafter “Solem”). Solem is the controlling
company of the Company within the meaning of article L.233-16 of the French Code of Commerce.
Concerning directors, the Company’s historic remuneration policy has been to not provide remuneration to the
latter as board members. In particular, directors do not receive the remuneration referred to in articles L.225-45
and L.22-10-14 of the French Code of Commerce.
Consequently, officers of the Company do not receive any remuneration, in any form whatsoever (fixed, variable,
exceptional or in shares) for the offices they hold within the Company. The officers of the Company do not
benefit from any commitments made by the latter or by any company that it controls or that is controlled by it
within the meaning of II and III of Article L. 233-16 of the French Code of Commerce, and the corresponding
components of remuneration or benefits in connection with the termination or a change in function or
subsequent thereto, or contingent rights granted pursuant to defined retirement benefit obligations meeting
the characteristics of the plans mentioned in Articles L. 137-11 and L. 137-11-2 of the French social security Code.
In light of the above, the information referred to in paragraphs 4 - 6 and 8 of Article R.22-10-14, I and 1 - 4 and 7 of
Article R.22-10-14, II of the French Code of Commerce are not applicable.
This officer remuneration policy is set in strict compliance with the Company’s corporate interests and in
reference to its commercial strategy. The Board of Directors considers that remuneration determined and set
exclusively at the level of Solem makes it possible to provide fair remuneration to the officers concerned based
on the parent company's larger scope of consolidation, by taking into account in particular the performance of
not only the Company but also its sister companies and subsidiaries.
This remuneration policy of the Company is determined by the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the
executive management. This remuneration policy is revised at least once a year at the time of the review of the
annual accounts and, at any time during the financial year, at the initiative of the Board of Directors, should
circumstances require.
The proposal from the executive management takes into account in particular the conditions of remuneration
and employment of the Company’s employees.
The implementation of the remuneration policy is verified at least once a year by the Board of Directors at the
time of the review of the annual accounts.
The remuneration policy applies by operation of the law under the supervision of the Board of Directors to newly
appointed corporate officers or those whose appointment has been renewed.
In order to prevent conflicts of interest in connection with the determination, revision and implementation of the
remuneration policy, the Board of Directors has appointed three independent directors as defined by the
Middlenext corporate governance code. In addition, the Board of Directors’ charter includes a procedure for
preventing and monitoring conflicts of interest.
The length of directors’ terms of office is presented in section 1.1.5 of this report. In addition, it is noted that on the
date of this special report, there exists no employment contract or service agreement contract has been entered
into directly between an officer and the Company. With respect to intragroup service agreements entered into
between Solem and the Company, please refer to the Auditors’ special report on regulated agreements
prepared in accordance with Article L. 225-40 of the French Code of Commerce.
This remuneration policy:
- has been approved by the general meeting of shareholders on 25 May 2021 (sixth resolution) in accordance
with article L.22-10-8 II of the Code of Commerce with over 95% of the votes in favour of the latter. Such a

vote legitimizes the remuneration policy for the company's officers as drawn up by the Board of Directors;
- shall be the subject of a draft resolution to be submitted for approval at the shareholders’ general meeting
to be held on 24 May 2022 in accordance with said article.
4 - REMUNERATION OF OFFICERS PAID IN THE PERIOD ENDED 31
DECEMBER 2021
For the purpose of complying with the provisions of Article L.22-10-9 of the French Code of Commerce (as
amended pursuant to Order 2020-1142 of 16 September 2020 and Decree 2020-1742 of 29 December 2020),
information required thereunder is presented in this section for each officer.
In application of Article L.22-10-34 of the French Code of Commerce (as amended pursuant to Order 2020-1142 of
16 September 2020 and Decree 2020-1742 of 29 December 2020), it is hereby requested that you vote on a draft
resolution concerning the information referred to in Article L. 22-10-9 of the French Code of Commerce and, on

OF COMMERCE
For the purpose of complying with the provisions of article L.225-37-4 2 of the French Code of Commerce, we
remind you that this report must mention, except for ordinary agreements entered into under normal
conditions, those agreements entered into either directly or through a third party, between:

To comply with article L.22-10-10, 6 of the French Code of Commerce, we remind you that the Board of Directors

A method for identifying financial flows between Group companies has already been adopted by the Finance

applied once a year when the annual financial statements are reviewed.
- Identification of all ordinary agreements entered into under normal conditions which remain applicable, or
newly entered into during the period under review;
- A summary of their main terms and conditions and features;
- A presentation of all agreements to the Board of Directors to be convened in order to approve the annual
financial statements in order to determine if these agreements continue to meet the criteria of ordinary
agreements entered into under normal conditions. Persons directly or indirectly concerned by an
agreement do not participate in its evaluation.

(1) The grant of contingent rights to receive existing shares or shares to be issued on the Company will become
fully vested, for each of the beneficiaries, only on condition that on the vesting date, they fulfil the conditions
imposed by the plan rules, and namely:
- that each beneficiary continues to be an employee of the Company or company covered by article L.225-
197-2 of the French Code of Commerce;
- that Haulotte group has met certain performance targets according to which the number of RSUs fully
vested may be subject to adjustments.
As an exception to the above, the following is provided:
- in the case where a beneficiary is affected during the vesting period by a situation of disability
corresponding to the second or third categories provided for in Article L.341-4 of the French Social Security
Code, such beneficiary may request to receive delivery in advance of the restricted stock units awarded at
any time from the date of disability. The RSUs will thereupon become freely transferable subject to certain
provisions provided for in the plan rules;
- in the case where a beneficiary dies before the end of the vesting period, his or her heirs or beneficiaries
may be entitled to receive the restricted stock units by requesting their grant in advance from the
Company by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within a period of six (6) months from the
date of the beneficiary's death.
We remind you that the Board of Directors decided on 17 July 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 health crisis,
to modify the free share allocation plan adopted on 13 March 2018, extending the vesting period from three (3) to
four (4) years as from the acquisition date. As such, shares will be fully vested on 14 March 2022 rather than 14
March 2021.
(2) In accordance with the powers granted to it by the decision of the general meeting of 30 May 2017 as well as
the provisions of article L.225-197-1 of the French Code of Commerce, and in light of the vesting period set for
three (3) years, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to cancel the holding period. The RSUs will
thereupon become freely transferable, assignable and transmissible upon the end of the vesting period in
accordance with, and subject to compliance with the provisions of the plan rules, of the Company's articles of
association and applicable laws and regulations whose various provisions are destined to ensure the
transparency and security of financial markets and notably those relating to insider misconduct or trading.

CONSOLIDATES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
Haulotte Group S.A. manufactures and distributes through its subsidiaries (forming the “Group”) people and
material lifting equipment.
Haulotte Group also operates in the rental market for these equipments.  
Haulotte Group S.A. is a “société anonyme” (a French limited liability company) incorporated in Saint-Etienne
(France) with its registered office in Lorette. The company is listed on Euronext Paris – Eurolist Compartment B
(Mid Caps).
The annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021 and the notes thereto
were approved by the Board of Directors of Haulotte Group SA on March 8th 2022. Figures are expressed as
thousands of euros.
NOTE 2 - MAJOR EVENTS OF THE FISCAL YEAR
2.1 A GLOBAL AERIAL WORK PLATFORM MARKET IN STRONG RECOVERY
During the fiscal year, the global aerial work patform market is recovering strongly in all geographical areas.
Chinese market remains the first market globally. The strong recovery of the North-American market is
confirmed after some slow-down semesters.
This commercial dynamic, in all regions, allows the Group to post an increase of its sales up +13% and a historic
level of its order book.
2.2 DIFFICULTIES IN PROCURING AND COMPONENTS PRICE INCREASE
The strong business recovery of activities has generated difficulties in procuring components and has increased
delivery times that lead to a significant increase of components' prices which impact on last quarter have been
significant.
These various elements also had the effect of extending machine delivery time during the fiscal year.
2.3 SYNDICATED LOAN CONTRACT
On December 22nd, 2021, in order to allow Haulotte to maintain the necessary flexibility to manage its business at
a time of strong recovery, Haulotte submitted to all the lenders of the Syndicated Loan a request for a waiver
concerning the non-compliance with its banking ratios for the periods of December 2021 and June 2022. It was
unanimously accepted on February 15, 2022. This waiver request, obtained after the annual closing date, led to
the presentation of the Syndicated Loan as short-term debt as of December 31st, 2021.
The cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months do not question the Group's ability to ensure its liquidity with
regard to the credit lines opened and available at December 31, 2021 and the cash flow forecasts for the first
months of 2022.
Haulotte had obtained on June 30th, 2021, an extension of one more year of the syndicated loan agreement, as
disclosed in the contract signed on July 17th, 2019, bringing its maturity to July 17, 2026.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
New standards, amendments or interpretations applicable in advance
The Group did not anticipate and does not expect to anticipate for the text adopted by the European Union at
the closing date but applicable for the following exercises.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the European Union
The Group does not anticipate or plan at this stage early adoption of other new standards or interpretations
published by IASB or IFRIC but not yet adopted by the European Union at the closing date.
3.2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
3.2.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
In preparing financial statements, the Group will resort to estimates and assumptions about future events. Such
estimates are based on past experience and other factors considered reasonable in view of current
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The main sources of uncertainty concerning key assumptions and assessments are:
- estimated impairment of goodwill (cf. note 4.1),
- evaluation of customer counterparty risk: evaluation of the recoverable value of trade receivables (see note
4.7) is based on credit rating procedures (see note 5 b) and, when applicable, analysis based on the Group's
ability to recover the equipment in the case of customer default and proceed with their sale for a specified
value. This resale value is estimated on the basis of data for the sale of used machines previously carried out
by the Group over a period of several years. The consistency of these values with quoted prices for second
hand assets generally accepted on the market is also verified. Today, there are no factors which might call
into question the valuation of this recoverable value and notably the validity of quoted prices of second-
hand equipment. Nevertheless, deterioration in the future of the market values of second-hand equipment
could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges for trade receivables,
-
net realizable value of inventory (cf. note 4.6): the net realizable value of work in progress and finished
goods at 31 December 2020 determined on the basis of actual recorded transactions depending on each
equipment’s production year, remains significantly higher than the cost price,
- the assessment of the preferential nature of guarantees for residual amounts: the accounting treatment
associated with transactions accompanied by such guarantees (cf. note 4.7.2) is based on the assumption
that has been almost systematically verified to date of the attractiveness of the option to repurchase
equipment offered to customers when compared to the current sales prices in the second-hand
equipment market. If this assumption ceases to be confirmed, the accounting treatment of such future
transactions should be adapted in consequence.
Use of estimates and assumptions also had an impact on the following items:
- revenue recognition, notably in the context of tripartite agreements described in notes 4.7.2 to 4.7.4
-
amortization and depreciation periods for fixed assets (cf. note 4.3),
- the evaluation of provisions, notably for manufacturer warranties (cf. note 4.11) and for pension liabilities
(cf. note 4.10),
- the recognition of deferred tax assets (cf. note 4.13).
The financial statements reflect the best estimates according to information available at time of finalizing
production of accounts.

3.2.2 Evaluation of risks and significant uncertainties having a potential
material impact on Haulotte Group
The main material risks and uncertainties that could have a material impact on the Group identified at 31
December 2021 relate on one hand to the market risk, to the monetary environment of the Group and, on the
other hand, on items relating to its liquidity. Regarding the market (following variations are at constant
exchange rates & excluding IAS 29 application), fiscal year 2021 was marked by an increase of turnover of +13%.
Over the year, sales of equipment increased by +11%, rental sales by +40% and services by +22%.
The Group maintains its policy of a centralised management of foreign exchange as described in note 5.a) and
pays specific attention to the evolution of foreign currencies on its main markets, as these could significantly
affect its financial performance.
During the year, the Group continues to diversify its financing (see note 20).
The liquidity risk is described in detail in note 5.c). The cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months do not
question the Group's ability to ensure its liquidity with regard to the credit lines opened and available at
December 31, 2021 and the cash flow forecasts for the first months of 2022. As mentioned in note 20, at 31
December 2021, the syndicated is used for an amount of 101 M€.
3.2.3 Consideration of risks related to climate change
The Group has taken into account the financial impacts and risks associated with climate change. The Group has
analyzed this risk on all of its financial information and has paid particular attention to the following aspects:
- Goodwill impairment tests;
- Recoverable value of intangible and tangible fixed assets;
- Realizable value of inventories;
- Valuation and completeness of provisions.
As of December 31, 2021, we have not identified any significant climate risk that could have an impact on the
financial statements.
3.3 CONSOLIDATION
Subsidiaries over which Haulotte Group S.A. directly or indirectly exercises exclusive control are fully consolidated.
They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Equity method is used for all associated companies in which the Group exerts significant influence. According to
this method, Haulotte Group records in a specific caption of the consolidated income statement its share in the
net income of the company consolidated using equity method. As of 31 December 2021, Haulotte Group does not
have any company consolidated using the equity method.
The list of subsidiaries included in the consolidation scope is shown in note 7.
3.4 INTERCOMPANY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
All intercompany balances and transactions between fully consolidated companies are eliminated .

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
3.5 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (€), which is the parent company’s, Haulotte Group
S.A., functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are measured using the functional currency, their local currency.
The results and financial position of foreign entities that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency (euro) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of balance sheet;
- Income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period (average for 12 monthly
rates) except if exchange rates experience significant fluctuations. In the latter case, applying an average
exchange rate for a period would not be appropriate. Thus, to apply IAS 29, the income statement of the
entities Haulotte Argentina S.A. and Horizon High Reach Limited were converted using the closing rate.
Exchange differences resulting from the translation of the subsidiaries’ financial statements are recognized as a
separate component of equity and broken down between the parent company share and minority interests.
In the case of the disposal of an entity, translation differences that were recognized under components of
comprehensive income items are reclassified from equity to income of the period (as a reclassification
adjustment) when a gain or loss resulting from the disposal is recognized. These amounts are then included in
the disposal result in the ‘other income and expenses’ line.
Goodwill is accounted for in the currency of the subsidiary concerned. It must consequently be stated in the
functional currency of the subsidiary and translated at year-end.
3.6 TRANSLATION OF TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
Foreign currency transactions are translated by the subsidiary into its functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At year-end, monetary items of the balance sheet denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at closing exchange rates.
Gains and losses on translation are recorded directly in the income statement under operating income as
“exchange gains and losses” except net foreign investments as defined under IAS 21 for which exchange
differences are recognized as other comprehensive income items. In the event of the prepayment of a current
account balance considered equivalent to a net investment in a foreign operation, the reduction of the
associated investment is assessed on the basis of relative value and implies a decrease of interest rates.
According to this methodology, no recycling in the result of exchange differences is done in case of
reimbursement of the loan. This one does not constitute a partial exit since it does not reduce the interest rate in
the foreign subsidiary.

3.7 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations occurring after 1 January 2010 are accounted for using the acquisition method, in
accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised) – Business Combinations:
- The acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at
acquisition-date fair value, provided that they meet the accounting criteria in IFRS 3 (Revised). An acquired
non-current asset (or disposal group) that is classified as held for sale at the acquisition date is measured at
fair value less costs to sell. Only the liabilities recognized in the acquirees’s balance sheet at the acquisition
date are taken into account. Restructuring provisions are therefore not accounted for as a liability of the
acquiree unless it has an obligation to undertake such restructuring at the acquisition date. Acquisition-
related costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.
- The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the Group’s share in the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets
exceeds the cost of acquisition, that difference is recognized directly in the income statement (see note 4.1).
- For each acquisition, the Group has the option of using the full goodwill method, where goodwill is
calculated by taking into account the acquisition-date fair value of minority interests, rather than their
share of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree.
- Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and is subsequently adjusted
through goodwill only when additional information is obtained after the acquisition date about facts and
circumstances that existed at that date. Such adjustments are made only during the 12-month
measurement period that follows the acquisition date. All other subsequent adjustments are recorded as a
receivable or payable through profit or loss (line “Other operating income and expenses”).
- In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is
remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if material, is recognized as
“Other operating income and expenses”.
3.8 SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group has determined that the primary operating decision-making body of the entity is the Executive
Committee. The Committee reviews internal reporting of the Group, evaluating its performance and making
decisions for the allocation of resources. The operating segments have been adopted by management on the
basis of this reporting.
The Executive Committee analyses activity both according to geographic markets and the Group's businesses.
These businesses are:
- the manufacture and sale of lifting equipment,
- the rental of lifting equipment,
- services (spare parts, repairs and financing).
The column « Others » includes items not allocated to the Group’s three business segments as well as inter-
segment items.
Internal reporting used by the Executive Committee is based on a presentation of the accounts according to
IFRS principles, including all Group activities.
The main indicators for performance reviewed by the Executive Committee are revenue and current operating
income. In addition, the Executive Committee monitors the main balance sheet captions: trade receivables and
inventories.
The Group has not identified any customer accounting for more than 10% of revenue.

NOTE 4 - PRINCIPLES AND METHODS FOR THE VALUATION OF
KEY BALANCE SHEET AGGREGATES
4.1 GOODWILL
Goodwill related to consolidated companies is booked to balance sheet assets under “Goodwill”. They result from
the application of the principles of business combinations described in note 3.7 above.
Negative Goodwill (or badwill) is recognized immediately under other operating income and expenses during
the year of acquisition and no later than 12 months after the acquisition, after the correct identification and
valuation of acquired assets and liabilities has been verified.
Goodwill is not depreciated but is instead subject to impairment testing whenever there exists an indicator of
impairment and at least once a year. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to Cash
Generating Units (CGU) or groups of CGU that may benefit from business combinations.
The Group has defined different CGUs:
-
The North America CGU including the subsidiaries Haulotte US and BilJax,
- Group rental company subsidiaries each representing an independent CGU, NDU (out of consolidation
perimeter since November 2021) and Horizon Argentina
- Manufacturing and distribution subsidiaries (Excluding North America and Turkey) of the Group included
within a single CGU.
-
CGU for Acarlar Makine, related to the distribution in Turkey .
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value is higher than the recoverable value, defined as the
higher of value in use and fair value. Value in use is determined in reference to five-year business plans for which
future flows are extrapolated and discounted to present value, or for some rental subsidiaires, using the market
value of the rental assets.
Goodwill impairment charges are irreversible.
Income and expense arising respectively from the recognition of negative goodwill (badwill) and the
impairment of positive goodwill are recognized under the “other operating income and expenses”.
4.2 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Developpement expenditures
Research expenditure is expensed as incurred. Development expenditure in connection with projects (for the
design of new products or improvement of existing products) is recognized as intangible asset when the
following criteria are met:
- the technical feasibility of completing the project,
- the intention of management to complete the project,
- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
-
-
the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits for the group,
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the project,
- the ability to measure reliably the costs.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are expensed in the period incurred.
Development expenditure previously expensed is not recorded as an asset in subsequent periods.
Development expenditure is amortized from the date the asset is commissioned using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of 2 to 5 years.
In compliance with IAS 36, development expenditure recognized under assets not yet fully amortized is tested
for impairment annually or as soon as any impairment indicator is identified (when the inflow of economic
benefits is less than initially anticipated). The carrying value of capitalised development expenditure is compared
with expected cash flows projected over 2 to 5 years to determine the impairment loss to be recorded.

Customer Portfolio
The customer portfolio had been determined at the purchase price allocation of Acarlar.
The price paid for this acquisition includes customer relationship of the company. Only the relationship existing
at the date of acquisition were evaluated.
The fair value of the customer portfolio had been determined using the excess earnings method. Usefull life of
the portfolio was set at 10 years.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets (software, patents, etc.) are recognized at purchase cost excluding incidental expenses
and financial charges.
Software is amortized using a straight-line method over 3 to 7 years.
4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recognized on the balance sheet at purchase cost (less discounts and all costs
necessary to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use) or production cost. Finance costs are not
included in the cost of fixed assets.
The basis for depreciation of fixed assets is their gross value (cost less residual value). Depreciation starts from the
date the asset is ready to be commissioned. Depreciation is recorded over the useful life that reflects the
consumption of future economic benefits associated with the asset that will flow to the Group.
When the asset’s carrying value is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is
immediately recorded for the difference.
Component parts are recognized as separate assets and subject to different depreciation rates if the related
assets have different useful lives. The renewal or replacement costs of components are recognized as distinct
assets and the replaced asset is written off.
Land is not depreciated. Other depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives as follows:
Depreciation period
Plant buildings :
Main component
Other components
30 to 40 years
10 to 30 years
Buildings fixtures and improvements:
Main component
10 to 40 years
5 to 20 years
5 to 20 years
3 to 20 years
5 years
Other components
Plant equipment
Other installations and equipment
Transportation equipment
Computer and office equipment
Office furniture
3 to 10 years
3 to 10 years
The assets’ residual value and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance-sheet date.
Gains and losses arising from the disposal of fixed assets are recognized under other operating income and
expenses.

CONSOLIDATES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
4.4 LEASE CONTRACTS
Lease contracts, as defined by IFRS 16 “Leases”, are recorded in the balance sheet, which leads to the recognition of:
- An asset representing a right of use of the asset leased during the lease term of the contracts;
- A liability related to the payment obligation.
At the commencement date, the right of use asset is measured at cost which includes the debt initial amount
and can comprise, when applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial
direct costs incurred for the conclusion of the contracts and estimated costs for restoration and dismantling of
the leased asset according to the terms of the contract.
The right of use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying assets (the duration chosen is the first
expiry date; unless specific information leads to choose a longer period).
At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized for an amount equal to the present value of the
lease payments over the lease term.
The right of use asset and the lease liability may be remeasured in the following situations:
- Change in the lease term;
- Modification related to the assessment of the reasonably certain nature (or not) of the exercise of an option;
- Adjustment to the rates and indices when according to which the rents are calculated when rent
adjustments occur.
The key assumptions that the Group uses for the implementation of the standard are:
- Durations : The Group has decided to retain the contractual terms of the contracts. The duration chosen is
the first expiry date; unless specific information leads to choose a longer period taking into account the
options for leaving and renewing the contract.
- Discount rate : The Group wished to use the simplification measures recommended by the standard and
thus use the marginal borrowing rate of the contract taking into account the asset class, the duration of
the contract and the economic environment.
4.5 OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS
In the IFRS 9 standard, financial assets are classified in three different categories according to their nature and
the intended investment period:
- Held-to-maturity investments
- Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
- Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The “other financial assets” of the Group are essentially loans. They are recognized at the fair value of the price
paid less transaction costs at initial recognition and subsequently at amortized cost at each balance sheet date.
All impairment losses on these assets (excluding account receivables, see Note 4.7) are immediately recognized
in the income statement through “other financial income and expenses”. The fair value of these financial assets
corresponds to its accounting value.
This caption also includes deposits and sureties.

CONSOLIDATES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
4.6 INVENTORIES AND WORK IN PROGRESS
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value:
- Materials and supplies cost is determined using the average cost method based on the weighted average
cost per unit,
- The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes direct production costs and factory overhead
(based on normal operating capacity);
- Traded goods inventories are recorded at purchase price (spare parts) or at their trade-in value (second-
hand machines).
The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less applicable expenses
to sell or recondition the goods.
Impairment is recognized when the net realizable value is less than the carrying value of inventories defined
above.
4.7 TRADE RECEIVABLES
There are four categories of trade receivables:
- Receivables resulting from transactions with customers obtaining financing directly (4.7.1) with no
guarantee given by the Group to the financial institution providing the financing;
- Receivables resulting from transactions for which Haulotte Group grants guarantees to the financial
institution providing financing to the customer (4.7.2);
- Receivables resulting from finance leases with financing or credit sales provided by Haulotte Group (4.7.3);
- Receivables resulting from back-to-back arrangements (4.7.4).
The accounting treatment for each transaction category is described below.
4.7.1 Sales without Group financing or guarantees
These receivables are recognized at fair value of the compensation received or to be received. They are
subsequently recognized at amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method, less provisions for
impairment.
When there exists serious and objective evidence of collection risks, a provision for impairment loss is recorded.
The provision represents the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated resale value of
the equipment representing the receivable on the date the risk of non-collection is determined. This policy is
based on the following factors:
- assets representing receivables may be repossessed by Haulotte Group in the event of customer default,
when provided for by contractual terms and conditions
- a precise knowledge of the equipment’s market value.
These market values are estimated on the basis of second-hand equipment sales realized by the Group over
several years and corroborated by listed values for second-hand equipment.
4.7.2 Sales including guarantees granted by the Group
In line with industry practice, Haulotte Group grants guarantees to financial institutions offering financing to
Group customers. Under such arrangements, Haulotte Group sells equipment to the financial institution that in
turn contracts with the end user customer through one of two options:
- the credit sale of the equipment, or
- the conclusion of a finance lease.
Haulotte Group may grant several types of guarantees depending on the framework of agreements concluded
with financial institutions and the level of risk assigned to the customer by this institution. Those guarantees are:
Guarantee in the form of a commitment to continue lease payments: Haulotte Group guarantees the
financial institution payment if the debtor defaults and pays said institution in the event of default, the entire
outstanding capital balance owed by the defaulting client. Haulotte Group has a right to repossess the
equipment in exchange for its substitution in the place of the defaulting customer.

CONSOLIDATES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Guarantee in the form of a contribution to a risk pool: In this case, a portion of the amount of the sale to the
financial institution is contributed to a guarantee fund that will cover potential risk of future customer default
until a maximum amount defined contractually. In the event of default of a customer qualifying for the pool, the
financial institution is assured of the recovery of its debt as defined in the contract (difference between the
amounts owed by the customer at the time of default and a contractually defined value expressed as a
percentage of the initial sale price of the financed good and decreasing in the time).
Specific guarantee covering a determined amount for a given receivable: In this case, the recourse of the
financial institution is defined receivable by receivable. The financial institution confirms at each accounting
closing the amount of its specific recourse for each receivable having been the object of this specific guarantee.
The accounting treatment of the first three types of guarantees associated with the different lease agreements
concluded between the financial institution and the end-user customer are determined based on the analysis of
the substance of the transaction as follows:
- as a loan granted to the end customer by Haulotte Group, the contract being transferred to the financial
institution in order for the sale to be financed (case of a credit sale);
- as a finance lease between Haulotte Group and the end-customer, the contract being transferred to the
financial institution in order for the sale to be financed (case of a finance lease).
The analysis of the above contracts in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 indicates that Haulotte Group is in
a situation known as "involvement retention"; the share of receivables maintained on the balance sheet in this
regard corresponds to the maximum amount that may be repaid by Haulotte under the guarantee given.
Accordingly, for such contracts, the following accounting treatment is applied: recognition of a receivable (under
“receivables from financing activities” in the balance sheet) for the amount of the guarantee given to to the
financial institution as a counterpart of a financial liability (under “Guarantees”). These receivables and payables
are discharged as the customer makes the lease payments to the financial institution.
However, in the case of a guarantee with a contribution to a risk pool covering a fixed amount per receivable, the
amount recognized under receivables and payables is capped to the financial institution amount of recourse
towards Haulotte Group and not expanded to the full amount of the “assigned” receivable.
Haulotte Group measures at each closing the risk of the guarantees granted being activated by reviewing
payment default that would have been reported by financial institutions. In this case a provision for impairment
loss is recorded, determined as described in note 4.7.1.
Other guarantees given by Haulotte Group are disclosed in off-balance sheet commitments in note 44.
4.7.3 Financial leases and credit sales
Haulotte Group concludes credit sales or leasing contracts directly with its customers with no intermediary
financial institutions.
Credit sales are analyzed according to the standard IFRS 15 (see note 6.1).
Analysis of these financial leases contracts according to provisions of IFRS 16, these agreements are classified as
finance leases, as a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessees.
The accounting treatment for these agreements is as follows:
- equipment sales are recognized under “sales and revenue” in the income statement on the date the parties
sign the lease agreement,
- a trade receivable (under “receivables from financing activities” in the balance sheet) is recognized vis-a-vis
the end customer broken down between current assets for the portion of lease payments due within one
year and non-current assets for the balance,
- for the following periods, payment received from the customer as per the lease agreement or the credit
sale is allocated between financial income and repayment of the receivable and finance charge.

4.7.4 Back-to-back lease arrangements
Haulotte Group can sometimes use that type of financing.
The Back to back leasing consists for the manufacturer in selling the equipment to a financial institution that
will lease the equipment to him, along with a sub-lease contract signed between the manufacturer and his
customer. Based on the analysis of these transactions, both upstream and downstream structures, they have
been considered as Finance leases. The analysis in substance of upstream and downstream operations leads to
recognize:
- the sale of the good to a customer, recorded in return for a receivable on financing operations.
- a financial debt with the financial institution.
4.8 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
“Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash at hand and other short-term investments. The latter consists
primarily of money market funds and term deposits.
Cash equivalents consist of short-term high liquidity investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and present insignificant risk of change in value.
Accrued interest has been calculated for term deposits for the period between the subscription and closing
date.
4.9 TREASURY SHARES
Shares of Haulotte Group S.A. acquired in connection with the Group share buyback programs (liquidity contract
allocated to ensure an orderly market in the company’s shares and buyback program) are recorded as a
deduction from consolidated shareholders’ equity at acquisition cost. No gain or loss is recognized in the income
statement from purchases, sales or impairment of treasury shares.
4.10 EMPLOYEES BENEFITS
The Group records provisions for employee benefits and other post-employment obligations as well as long
service awards. The Haulotte Group has only defined benefit plans. The corresponding obligation is measured
using the projected unit credit method with end-of-career wages. The calculation of this obligation takes into
account the provisions of the laws and collective bargaining agreements and actuarial assumptions concerning
notably staff turnover, mortality tables, salary increases and inflation.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognized among equity items in other comprehensive income for the period in which these gains or losses are
incurred. Previously, these actuarial gains and losses were recognized in the income statement of the period in
which they were generated.

4.11 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITY
In general, a provision is recorded when:
- the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event,
- it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and,
- the obligation has been reliably estimated.
Warranty Provision
The Group grants clients a manufacturer’s warranty. The estimated cost of warranties on products already sold is
covered by a provision statistically calculated on the basis of historical data (number of materials under warranty,
average intervention rate related to this parc and average intervention cost). The warranty period is usually one
to two years. When necessary, a provision is recognized on a case-by-case basis to cover specific warranty risks
identified.
Litigation
Other provisions are also recorded in accordance with the above principles to cover risks related to litigations,
site closures (when applicable) or any other event meeting the definition of a liability. The amount recognized as
a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation.
All material lawsuits involving the company were reviewed at year-end, and based on the advice of legal counsel,
the appropriate provisions were recorded, when necessary, to cover the estimated risks.
Contingent liability
The Group can, in some cases, identify the existence of a contingent liability defined as follows:
- a potential obligation resulting from past events and that will be confirmed by the occurrence of (or not) of
one or several future and uncertain events that are not under the total control of the entity or
- a current obligation resulting from past events but not accounted for because:
- it is not probable that a resources output representing an economic benefit will be necessary to settle
the obligation or,
- the amount of the obligation cannot be evaluated with sufficient accuracy.
4.12 BORROWINGS
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value of the amount received less transaction costs. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost calculated according to the effective interest rate method.
4.13 DEFERRED TAXES
Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements as well as on tax losses carried
forward. They are calculated using the liability method, for each of the Group’s entity, using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets from temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards are recognized only to the extent it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the entities of the same tax group are entitled to do so under
enforceable provisions.

NOTE 5 - MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
Foreign exchange risk and Interest rate risk
A significant portion of Haulotte Group sales are in currencies other than the euro including notably the US
dollar, Australian Dollar, Renminbi and British pound sterling. Because sales of Group subsidiaries are primarily in
their functional currency, transactions do not generate foreign exchange risks at their level.
The primary source of foreign exchange risks for Haulotte Group consequently results from intercompany
invoicing flows when Group companies purchase products or services in a currency different from their
functional currency (exports of manufacturing subsidiaries located in the euro area and exporting in the local
currency of a sale subsidiary).
The Group favours floating-rate debt which provides it greater flexibility. To hedge against interest rate risks, the
Group seeks to take advantage of market opportunities according to interest rate trends. There is no recourse to
systematic interest rate hedging.
Such exposures are managed by Haulotte Group SA. For the main currencies, foreign exchange trading
positions in the balance sheet are partially hedged using basic financial instruments (forward exchange sales
and purchases against the euro).
To cover market risks (interest rate and foreign exchange exposures), Haulotte Group has recourse to financial
instrument derivatives. These derivatives are designed to cover the fair value of assets or liabilities (fair value
hedges) or future cash flows (cash flow hedges).
In compliance with the provisions of IAS 32 and IFRS 9, derivatives are recorded at fair value. The fair value of
those contracts is determined based on valuation models given by the banks with which the instruments were
traded, and can be considered as level 2 valuations as defined in IFRS 7 (level 2: quoted prices in active markets
for similar assets or liabilities or other valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are based on
observable market data).
There is also a translational risk due to the geographic diversification of the Group's activities. Haulotte Group is
exposed to the risk of conversion of the financial statements of its subsidiaries outside the Euro zone. Thus, an
unfavorable change in exchange rates could deteriorate the balance sheet, the income statement and
consequently the Group's financial structure ratios, when the accounts of foreign subsidiaries outside the Euro
zone are converted into euros in the Group's consolidated accounts.
Credit risk
Credit risk results primarily from exposure to customer credit and notably outstanding trade receivables and
transactions.
To limit this risk, the Group has implemented rating procedures (internal or independent) to evaluate credit risk
for new and existing customers on the basis of their financial situation, payment history and any other relevant
information.
Risk is also limited by Haulotte Group’s ability in the event of default by one of its customers to repossess the
equipment representing the receivable. The provisions for impairment loss on trade receivables are determined
based on this principle (cf note 4.7).
Liquidity risk
Haulotte Group cash management is centralized. The corporate team manages current and forecasted
financing needs for the parent company and subsidiaries.
All cash surpluses are invested in risk-free products at market conditions by the parent company comprised of
money market funds and time deposit accounts.
All the decisions taken during this crisis and the resilience of the business model should allow Haulotte not to
face any liquidity problem in the coming months.

North America CGU
The last impairment test for the "North America" region considered as a cash generating unit (CGU) was
performed on 31 December 2020. A new impairment test was performed on 31 December 2021 on the CGU that
includes the US entities of the Group.
The recoverable value of the « North America » CGU was based on calculations of value in use. These calculations
were carried out using forecast future cash flows for a five-year period based on budgets approved by
management.
The main assumptions used to perform this impairment test were as follows:
- significant growth in market share in the sector of the sale of aerial work platforms in the “North American”
market, on a 5 years horizon;
- an assumption of long-term growth of 1.7% and a discount rate (WACC) of 10.1%.
29
haulotte.com l CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021
 
CONSOLIDATES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
As a reminder, the following impairments has been accounted:
- 5 000 KUSD as at 31 December 2013 on the basis of the impairment test performed at that date;
- 5 000 KUSD as at 31 December 2018 on the basis of the impairment test performed at that date;
- 5 000 KUSD as at 31 December 2020 on the basis of the impairment test performed at that date.
On the basis of this impairment test, the value in use of the “North America” CGU is higher than its accounting
value leading to the conclusion that no further depreciation is neded.
Sensitivity analysis have been carried out on the following key assumptions:
- Assumptions sales forecast in the business plan: a decrease by 38,5% would not result an obligation to
record a goodwill impairment change for this CGU.
- Discount rate: increase of this rate by 5,7 points would not result an obligation to record a goodwill
impairment change for this CGU.
- Long-term growth rate: no long-term growth rate would not result an obligation to record a goodwill
impairment change for this CGU.
Acarlar CGU
The last impairment test for "Acarlar" considered as a cash generating unit (CGU) was performed on 31
December 2020. A new impairment test was performed on 31 December 2021 on the CGU.
The recoverable value of the « Acarlar » CGU was based on calculations of value in use. These calculations were
carried out using forecast future cash flows for a five-year period based on budgets approved by management.
The main assumptions used to perform this impairment test were as follows:
- Recovery of the industrial equipment market at medium term with an average annual growth rate of
turnover of 20% to 30% over the projected horizon;
- An assumption of long-term growth of 3,3% and a discount rate (WACC) of 15%.
Based on the new impairment test performed, as at 31 December 2021, the value in use of this CGU is higher
than its accounting value leading to the conclusion that no further depreciation is needed; therefore,
depreciation is maintained at that amount.
Sensitivity analysis have been carried out on the following key assumptions:
- Assumptions sales forecast in the business plan: a decrease by 27,9 points would not result an obligation to
record a goodwill impairment change for this CGU.
- Discount rate: increase of this rate by 4,9 points would not result an obligation to record a goodwill
impairment change forthis CGU.
- Long-term growth rate: no long-term growth rate would not result an obligation to record a goodwill
impairment change for this CGU.
The Group also carried out an additional sensitivity analysis, in the context of uncertainty described in the major
events, relating to the percentage decline in sales and margin. A drop in the business growth rate (4 points)
combined with a drop in the margin rate (5 points) would lead to a value in use equal to the recoverable value.
Horizon CGU
Regarding entitity and CGU Horizon, the value in use, which is taking into account the fair value of the rental
equipment (disposal costs deducted), is higher than its accounting value.

*Amounts indicated under "Reclassifications and other changes" mainly concern the transfer of "Fixed assets in progress" into the other Assets
captions, as well as presentation reclassifications.
Change in the caption "land" is mainly explained by a subsidy received in 2021 in the framework of the
construction of our new Chinese plant.
In 2020, decrease in this caption concerns mainly machines in rental entities and scaffolding renting machines.
Increase of the caption "fixed assets in progress" concerns mainly the construction of our new Chinese plant.
The amortization accruals of rental equipments are booked in costs of sales in the P&L. The amortization accruals
of Land, building and other PPE are booked in cost of sales and/or commercial and administrative costs in the
P&L.
A provision for impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset falls below its recoverable
value. The recoverable value of rental equipment is based on the estimated realizable inventory value on the
market.

As at At 31 December 2021, receivables assigned, for the balance factoring contract, amounted 8.4 M€ compared
to 8.4 M€ as at 31 December 2020.
Assignments of receivables are carried out once or twice a month. These receivables are derecognized to the
extent that the contractual rights realating to cash flows have been transferred, as well as most of the risks and
rewards associated with these receivables.
The fair value of “Trade receivables” recorded under current assets equals the carrying value given their short
maturity (less than one year).
Fair value of receivables from back-to-back equipment leases and finance leases represents the lower of the fair
value of the item at the inception (cash sales price net of rebates) or the discounted value of lease payments at
the lease’s implicit interest rate.
As described in note 4.7, the fair value of receivables guarantees granted by Haulotte Group to the lending
institution of the customer, represents:
- either the amount of capital remaining due by the customer of Haulotte Group to the financial institution
- or the maximum amount of the risk incurred by Haulotte Group,
The corresponding receivables and payables are discharged as customers make lease payments to the financial
institution.

On an outstanding sold to financial institution amounting to 135 M€ to date, the residual risk kept by Haulotte
amounts to 15.2 M€ and is disclosed in Trade receivables from financing activities in the balance sheet and in
Borrowings under the lines “ Guarantees ”.
Due receivables are analyzed on a case-by-case basis with particular attention to customer quotations
established by the Group (see note 5.b). In light of these elements and the resulting risk analysis, the Group
determines the relevance of bokking a depreciation. Where applicable, depreciations are recorded in order to
cover the difference between the book value of the receivable and the estimated resale value of the machine
assessed on the basis of sales history and market conditions at the closing date.

As part of the contract signed on 17 July 2019, no commitment has been granted to the banking syndicate. This
syndicated credit facility provides for compliance by the company with a certain number of standard obligations
during the term of the facility. A certain number of ratios will be measured every six months based on the
selected ratios derived from the consolidated financial statements for the half-year periods ended 30 June and 31
December of each year (notably Group EBITDA, shareholders' equity, net debt).
A waiver request with respect to bank ratios for two periods (December 2021 and June 2022) has been submitted
to the lenders. This request has been unanimously accepted by all the lenders on February 15, 2022.
Regarding the purchase in substance of the new Group headquarters, the corresponding liability amounts to 13.5
MEUR as at December 31, 2021 and is disclosed in the caption other borrowings.

Customer warranties
Customer warranties provision remains stable explained by the effects of quality indicators improvement over
the year.
Restructuring provision
During the year, a provision was recognized in connection with the industrial reorganization of a French
production site on which a job protection plan was implemented. The costs related to this operation are
disclosed in note 34.
Other provisions
During the period, the Group has reversed (with utilization) the provision of 1,1 M€ booked in December 2020
following a warranty call.
Other amounts booked as at December 31,2021 are considered as non significants.
Contingent liabilities
In the purpose of its current activities, the Group is involved in various procedures inherent to its activities. The
Group considers that the provisions made for these risks, disputes or contentious situations known or in progress
at the balance sheet date, are of a sufficient amount so that the consolidated financial situation is not
significantly affected in the event of an unfavorable outcome.
- Since 2017 closing, the Group has identified financial assets relating to a customer for who a
reimbursement would not take place according to the original schedules. During the second half of 2018, a
litigation situation has been identified and resulted in a summons in May 2019. As of today, the progress of
the legal litigation leads the Group to consider it as a contingent liability, in connection with the note 34.
- The distribution subsidiary of Haulotte Group in Brazil, Haulotte do Brazil is currently being the subject of a
proceeding concerning the settlement of import tax duties prior to 2010. The Group is currently studying
with its counsel the actual risk of this proceeding. At 31 December 2021, it was not possible to reliably
measure this risk (notably as the amounts cited were considered as very excessive) and this litigation is in
consequence classified as a contingent liability .

NOTE 23 - PENSION AND RELATED BENEFITS
Main assumptions used for the valuation of liabilities
The only post-employment benefits of Group employees correspond to retirement severance benefits and long-
service awards, mainly in the French entities.
Provisions are recorded for retirement liabilities according to the principles described in paragraph 4.9, taking
into account the following assumptions:
31 December 2021
31 December 2020
based on historical data available to the Group with no
changes between the two periods
Turnover rate
Rate of wage increases (according to seniority,
based on seniority, expected career profile, collective labor
the projected career profile, collective bargaining agreements and long-term inflation rate calculated on a
agreements, and long-term inflation rate)
historical basis
Discount rate
1.00%
0.39%
Employees born before 1 January 1950
Management
62 years old
60 years old
Supervisors / office employees
and workers 60 years old
Retirement age
Employees born after 1 January 1950
Management
65 years old
63 years old
Supervisors / office employees
and workers
With respect to retirement severance payments, the scenario adopted is voluntary departure of employees
whereby social charges are taken into account (45 %). This calculation method complies with the framework of
the Fillon Law (enacted on 21 August 2003, and amended by Law 2010-1330 of 9 November 2010 for the reform of
retirement systems published in the French official journal on 10 November 2010).
The Group does not hold any plan assets.
A general decline in the discount rate of 0.25 points would result in a 4.0 % increase in benefit obligations.
Following the decision of IFRS IC which concluded that the provision to be recognized for the benefit should only
be constituted over the period which covers the last 16 years of service rendered by the employee (or between
the date of employment and the date of retirement, if the duration determined is less than 16 years), an impact
of 1.1 M€ has been recognized in the opening equity.

NOTE 26 - DEFERRED TAXES
Deferred tax assets are offset by deferred tax liabilities generated in the same tax jurisdiction.
Deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences or tax losses carried forward are recognized only to the
extent that is really probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences
can be utilized over the next five years. When this probability cannot be demonstrated, deferred tax assets are
capped to the amount of deferred tax liabilities recognized on the same tax jurisdiction and deferred tax assets
on tax losses carried forward are not recognized.
The global amount of tax losses carried forward for which no deferred tax assets were recorded amount to 100
549 K€ for the Group at 31 December 2021 (107 343 K€ at 31 December 2020) and the major part can be
indefinitely carried forward.

NOTE 38 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit or loss of the Group for the period by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares acquired.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted number of shares outstanding in order to
take into account all shares issued on conversion of potentially dilutive securities, and notably stock options. A
calculation is made to determine the number of shares acquired at fair value (the annual average for traded
shares) according to the monetary value of rights attached to outstanding stock options. The resulting number
of shares is then compared with the number of shares that would have been issued if the options have been
exercised.

Revenue from financing activities includes back-to-back arrangements, direct financing leases, lease payment
obligations and risk pool commitments.
Transactions involving risk pool commitments and lease payment obligations by Haulotte Group SA represent
transactions for which receivables and payables are fully offset. In consequence, they do not generate cash flow.
The receivables and payables (for the same amount) are discharged as customers make lease payments to their
financial institution. In consequence, these transactions are eliminated in the cash flow statement because they
have no impact on net cash.
Changes in back-to-back lease arrangements and finance leases are presented as a cash component of the
above business. In contrast, changes in the corresponding payable (fully matched by the receivable or resulting
from a comprehensive financing arrangement after the back-to-back lease agreements were repurchased
through a syndicated loan) are presented under cash flows from financing activities.

NOTE 47 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Regarding the recent geopolitical events in Ukraine and Russia, the Group considers that its economic exposure
in this region is limited, since the level of turnover achieved by the local entity established in Russia represents
approximately 5% of the group's turnover. No subsidiary of the group is established in Ukraine and the sales
made in Ukraine are immaterial. Moreover, in this period of high demand, with an orderbook that reached an
historical level, the Group is able to compensate the impact of a potential decrease of activity in this area.
The events listed above, as well as the sanitary situation in China, where a rebound of the Covid-19 epidemic has
been important, had unfavorable impacts on the inflation on the cost of raw materials, components, energy, and
transportations. In this uncertain context, the effects on operations and finances of the group linked to these
impacts and the duration of the conflict in Ukraine are under analysis. The group confirms, through the
implementation of the necessary resources, its ability to meet these challenges.

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements
of the Company issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking readers. This
statutory auditors’ report includes information specifically required by European regulations and French law,
such as information about the appointment of statutory auditors or verification of the information concerning
the Group presented in the management report and other documents provided to shareholders.
This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional
auditing standards applicable in France.
OPINION
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your annual general meeting, we have audited the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Haulotte Group SA (“the Group”) for the year ended
December 31, 2021.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of
the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and of the results of its operations for the year then
ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
BASIS FOR OPINION
Audit framework
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report.
Independance
We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with the independence with independence requirements
of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for
statutory auditors, for the period from January 1, 2020 to the date of our report, and specifically we did not
provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

SATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
JUSTIFICATION OF ASSESSMENTS - KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Due to the global crisis related to the covid-19 pandemic, the financial statements of this period have been
prepared and audited under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the
context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on
their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those
measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies’ internal
organization and the performance of the audits.
It is in this complex and evolving context that, in accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-
7 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform
you of the key audit matters relating to the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment,
were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period, as well as
how we addressed those risks.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole
and in forming in our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the
consolidated financial statements.
ASSESSMENT OF CUSTOMER CREDIT RISK
Description of risk
The Group has a diverse portfolio of customers whose financial positions may be impacted by the cyclical nature
of the markets and changing geopolitical environments, which could, in the short term, result in limited liquidity
and ultimately affect their ability to make payments.
At 31 December 2021, trade receivables, including receivables from financing activities, represented a gross value
of €198,564 thousand and a net value of €182,877 thousand.
As indicated in Notes 4.7, 5 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the assessment of customer risk, and
consequently the measurement of potential impairment, relies on (i) an analysis of customers’ individual
financial situations based primarily on past relationships with those customers and the outlook of the markets in
which they operate, and (ii) the likelihood that the Group would recover underlying assets in the event of
customer default.
Given the materiality of receivables with varying maturities depending on the type of financing and the
judgements and assumptions made by management to measure impairment of trade receivables, we deemed
the measurement of customer credit risk to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed this risk
Our work consisted primarily in:
- Gaining an understanding of the internal control procedures put in place by management applicable to
the measurement of customer credit risk;
- Assessing the merits of the assumptions made by management in its measurement of potential customer
credit risks including, where applicable, the ability to repossess equipment;
- Verifying the basic data used to measure provisions related to trade receivables when payment deadlines
are exceeded by more than one year.

Measurement of the goodwill allocated to the « North America » and
« Acarlar » CGU
Description of risk
At 31 December 2021, total goodwill amount to € €13,006 thousand net and goodwill for the “North America” &
“Acarlar” CGU (cash-generating unit) came to € 4,349 thousand net, and € 8,521 thousand net, respectively. The
procedures for the impairment tests used are described in Notes 4.1 and 8 to the consolidated financial
statements.
The recoverable amounts of the “North America” & “Acarlar” CGU are determined based on their value in use,
which are calculated using the discounted value of cash flows expected over a period of five years from the
group of assets allocated to the “North America” & “Acarlar” CGU. Forecast data includes assumptions in terms of
volume, sale price and production costs and the use of a discount rate and a long-term growth rate.
Given the use of assumptions and estimates to assess the recoverable value, we deemed the measurement of
goodwill to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed this risk
We examined the methodology used by the Group for performing impairment tests.
Our work consisted primarily in:
- Reconciling the data underlying the “North America” & “Acarlar” CGU carrying amount with the
consolidated financial statements;
- Ensuring the correct calculation of discounted cash flows;
- Verifying the mathematical accuracy of the data and reconciling forecast data with the budget approved
by management;
- Assessing the consistency of the operational assumptions made by management to establish cash flow
projections, including by comparing them to past performances and market outlook;
- Assessing the discount rate calculations and corroborating certain inputs of this rate with available market
data, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic;
- Assessing the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to inputs such as discount rate and the assumptions
used.
We also examined the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in Note 8, “Goodwill”, to the consolidated
financial statements.
Assessment of the going concern basis
Description of risk
Consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting.
As indicated in Note 2 “Major events of the fiscal year” to the consolidated financial statements, the financial
covenants defined in the Syndicated Loan have been breached as of December 31, 2021 due to the global strong
recovery of the market cumulated with difficulties in the supply chain. A waiver has been granted by all the
lenders to the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the half-year as at June 30, 2022.
The net financial debt as at December 31, 2021 amounts to € 167.6 million, including cash for € 33.2 million,
financial debts and liquidity as described in Notes 18 “Cash and cash equivalent” and 20 “Borrowings and
financial liabilities”.

SATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Based on :
-
-
-
The net financial debt and the portion of debts to be paid within the next 12-month,
The cash and short-term liquidity available at Group level,
The assumptions followed by Management to prepare a budget and assess expected cash-flows,
the level of cash is considered as sufficient by Group Management to ensure the continuity of the activities.
Given the terms and conditions of the financial debts of the Group and the use of assumptions and estimates to
assess the expected rentability and future cash-flows, we deemed the assessment of the going concern to be a
key audit matter.
How our audit addressed this risk
As part of our audit procedures, we assessed the level of liquidity needed by the Group based on future expected
cash-flows, actual cash and short-term credits available.
Our work consisted primarily in obtaining the details of future expected cash-flows and in understanding (i)
procedures followed and (ii) main assumptions applied to determine these cash-flows.
We assessed their consistency with the last business plan prepared by Management and approved by the
executive committee.
We also assessed their reasonableness compared to past performances and to the activity realized within the
FY22 first few months taken into consideration the actual economic and financial situation of the lifting
equipment manufacturing sector as well as an assessment of the on-going actions initiated by the Group as a
response of the Covid-19 crisis and of the conflict in Ukraine.
We also examined the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements and related to :
-
Events described in Notes 2.3 “Syndicated Loan contract” and 47 “Subsequent events”,
-
The liquidity risk mentioned in Notes 3.2.2 “Evaluation of risks and significant uncertainties having a
potential material impact on Haulotte Group” and 5 “Management of financial risks”,
-
The details of financial debts, borrowings, overdrafts and syndicated loan in Note 20 “Borrowings and
financial liabilities”.
SPECIFIC VERIFICATION
We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verification
required by laws and regulations of the Group’s information given in the Group’s management report.
We have no matters to report as to their fair presentation and their consistency with the consolidated financial
statements.
We attest that the consolidated non-financial statement required by Article L.225-102-1 of the French commercial
code (code de commerce) is included in the Group’s information given in the management report, it being
specified that, in accordance with article L. 823-10 of this Code, we have verified neither the fair presentation nor
the consistency with the consolidated financial statements of the information contained therein. This
information should be reported on by an independent third party.

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Haulotte Group SA by the General Meetings held on 25 May 2021 for
BM&A and on 2 October 1998 for PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit.
As at 31 December 2021, BM&A and PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit were in the seventh year and the twenty-

RESPONSABILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH
GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting, unless it is expected to liquidate the company or to cease operations.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of
internal control and risk management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the
accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.

SATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
STATUTORY AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Objective and audit approach
Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial
statements.
As specified in Article L.823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce), our statutory audit does
not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the
company.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory
auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit and furthermore:
·
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence
considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
·
Obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the internal control.
·
Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and the related disclosures made by management in the consolidated financial statements.
·
Assesses the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty
exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or are inadequate, to issue a qualified opinion
expressed therein.
·
Evaluates the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and assesses whether these
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The statutory auditor
is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the consolidated financial
statements and for the opinion expressed on these consolidated financial statements.

Report to the Audit Committee
We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes in particular a description of the scope of the audit
and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant
deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have
identified.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period
and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 537/
2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France, such as they are set in
particular by Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce)and in the French
Code of Ethics (code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss with the Audit
Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and the related safeguard.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE YEAR
A global aerial work platform market in strong recovery
During the fiscal year, the global aerial work platform market is recovering strongly. This commercial dynamic
allows the Group to post an increase of its sales up to +13% and a historic level of its order book.
Difficulties in procuring and components price increase
The strong business recovery of activities has generated difficulties in procuring components and has increased
delivery times that lead to a significant increase of components' prices which impact on last quarter have been
significant.
These various elements also had the effect of extending machine delivery time during the fiscal year.
Syndicated loan contract
On December 22nd, 2021, in order to allow Haulotte to maintain the necessary flexibility to manage its business at
a time of strong recovery, Haulotte submitted to all the lenders of the Syndicated Loan a request for a waiver
concerning the non-compliance with its banking ratios for the periods of December 2021 and June 2022. It was
unanimously accepted on February 15, 2022. This waiver request, obtained after the annual closing date, led to
the presentation of the Syndicated Loan as short-term debt as of December 31st, 2021.
The cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months do not question the Group's ability to ensure its liquidity with
regard to the credit lines opened and available at December 31, 2021 and the cash flow forecasts for the first
months of 2022.
Haulotte had obtained on June 30th, 2021, an extension of one more year of the syndicated loan agreement, as
disclosed in the contract signed on July 17th, 2019, bringing its maturity to July 17, 2026.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The company’s annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations
applicable in France and with regulation 2014-03 of France's national Accounting Standards Body (Autorité des
Normes Comptables).
Accounting conventions of establishment and presentation of the annual accounts have been applied in
compliance with the prudence concept, in accordance with the following basic assumptions:
- the going concern concept,
- the time period concept,
- the consistency principle.
The statutory accounts have been prepared according to the historical cost convention.
Only significant information is disclosed.
2.1 INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Intangible assets are recognised at their purchase price, excluding financial charges. Software is depreciated on
a straight-line basis over 3 to 7 years according to its useful life.
Models and designs are depreciated over 5 years.
Goodwill is not subject to depreciation. An impairment is recorded when its value in use is less than the amount
initially recognised. Under regulation 2015-06 of ANC, it was considered that this goodwill had an indefinite useful
life.
Research and development expenditure is expensed in the period incurred.
2.2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the balance sheet at purchase cost (less discounts and all costs
necessary to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use) or production cost. Finance costs are not
included in the cost of fixed assets.
Basis for depreciation of fixed assets is their gross value (cost less residual value). Depreciation starts from the
date the asset is ready to be commissioned. Depreciation is recorded over the useful life that reflects the
consumption of future economic benefits associated with the asset that will flow to Haulotte Group SA.
When the asset’s carrying value is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recorded for
the difference.
Subsequent costs are recognised as separate assets and subject to different depreciation rates if the related
assets have different useful lives. The carrying amount of the renewed or replaced part is derecognised, the new
costs incurred being separately capitalised.

STATUTORY ACCOUNTS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives as follows:
Depreciation period
Plant buildings:
Main component
40 years
Other components
10 to 30 years
Buildings fixtures and improvements:
Main component
10 to 40 years

3 to 20 years
5 years
Other components
Plant equipment
Other installations and equipment
Transportation equipment
Computer and office equipment
Office furniture
3 to 10 years
3 to 10 years
The assets’ residual value and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance-sheet date.
The gains or losses on disposals of fixed assets are recognised within ‘Extraordinary income/expenses on
transactions’.
Regulated tax reserves
Regulated reserves include in particular additional tax depreciation allowances calculated by utilising the most
favourable tax option. This mainly concerns depreciation on residual values of equipment recorded as fixed
assets.
2.3 FINANCIAL ASSETS
Equity Investments
Investments are recognised in the balance sheet at historical cost, including transaction costs such as transfer
rights, commissions and fees directly attributable to the acquisition of the securities. These expenses are
included in the cost of securities and are subject to special accelerated depreciation over five years.
At year-end, their balance sheet value is compared with their value in use, determined with reference to the
share in net equity owned and the earnings prospects. When applicable, a provision for impairment is recorded.
When necessary (notably for subsidiaries with negative net equity), additional provisions are recognised first
against intra-group assets (receivables, current accounts) and further as a provision for charges if necessary.
Most of the long-term investment are valued in relation with the share in net equity owned, this approach does
not use sensitive estimation assumptions. Regarding Acarlar, shares value have been determined using the
multiple valuation method.
Receivables from investments
Receivables from investments relate to current account advances and loans granted to subsidiaries.
These items are recognised at face value. Long-term current accounts and loans granted to our subsidiaries in
foreign currencies are translated into Euros at the year-end exchange rate. Gains arising on translation are
recognised as ‘unrealised foreign exchange gains’ and recorded in the balance sheet. Losses arising on
translation result in the recognition of a provision for foreign exchange losses and go therefore through the
income statement.
Long-term current accounts are subject to impairment in the cases described in the preceding paragraph. There
is no translation adjustment recorded for the impaired portion of foreign currency current accounts.

STATUTORY ACCOUNTS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Other receivables
Short-term current accounts in foreign currencies are converted into euros at the closing rate. Any exchange
gains and losses are recognized in currency gains or losses.
The depreciated portion of current accounts in foreign currencies does not lead to book currency gains or losses.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares acquired in connection with the Group's share buy-back program are recorded as financial
assets. They are recognised at purchase price. At the end of the year, their carrying value is determined on the
basis of the average quoted price of the shares for the last month of the year. If the carrying value is lower than
the purchase price, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference.
2.4 INVENTORIES AND WORK IN PROGRESS
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value:
- Materials and supplies cost is determined using the average cost method based on the weighted average
cost per unit,
- The cost of finished products and work in progress includes direct production costs and factory overhead
(based on normal operating capacity),
- Traded goods inventories are recorded at purchase price (spare parts) or at their trade-in value (second-
hand machines),
- The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less applicable
expenses to recondition or sell the goods.
Impairment is recognised when the net realisable value corresponding to the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less applicable expenses to recondition or sell the goods, is less than the carrying
value of inventories defined above.
The materials and spare parts inventories are eventually impaired following the last buying date and the
turnover rate.
2.5 RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
Receivables and payables are recognised at their face value.
A provision for impairment is recorded when their collection value, determined on a case-by-case basis, is
estimated to be lower than the carrying value.
As soon as there are indications of a real and serious collection risk, a provision for impairment is recorded.
2.6 TRANSLATION OF TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchangerate on the transaction date. At the end of the
period, receivables and payables balances are translated at the closing rate. The resulting translation differences
for payables and receivables in foreign currency at the end of the period are recognised in the balance sheet
under the cumulative translation adjustment. For unrealised foreign exchange losses,
contingencies is recorded.
a provision for
For receivables for which impairment has been recorded, only the remaining balance is translated at the year-
end exchange rate.
Following the ANC regulation No.°2015-5 of 2 July and applicable as from 1 January 2017, allowances and reversals
for foreign exchange losses are recognized under operating income for trade receivables and payables, and as
financial result for financing operations.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
2.7 MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities are initially recognised at their purchase price excluding incidentals. Carrying value of the
securities is measured based on quoted values at the closing date. An impairment is recorded when this quoted
value is lower than purchase price.
2.8 PROVISIONS
When a contingent liability is identified, for which no reliable estimation can be determined, there is no provision
recognized. If applicable, a description of the identified risk is included in a dedicated paragraph within the
notes relating to provisions for contingencies and charges (Note 12) or contingent liabilities.
In general a provision is recorded when:
- the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event,
- it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation,
- the obligation has been reliably estimated.
Warranty provision
Haulotte Group grants clients a manufacturer’s warranty. The estimated cost of warranties on products already
sold is covered by a provision statistically calculated on the basis of historical data. The warranty period is
generally two years. When necessary, a provision is recognised on a case-by-case basis to cover specific warranty
risks identified.
Litigations
Other provisions are also recorded in accordance with the above principles to cover risks related to litigations,
site closures (when applicable) or any other event meeting the definition of a liability. The amount recognised as
a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation.
All material lawsuits involving the company were reviewed at year-end, and based on the advice of legal counsel,
the appropriate provisions were recorded, when necessary, to cover the estimated risks corresponding to a net
out flow of resources.
Pension
Haulotte Group SA records provisions for retirement severance payment and other post-employment
obligations as well as long-service awards. Haulotte Group SA only had defined benefit plans. The corresponding
obligation is measured using the projected unit credit method with end-of-career wages. The calculation of this
obligation takes into account the provisions of the laws and collective bargaining agreements and actuarial
assumptions concerning notably staff turnover, mortality tables, salary increases and inflation.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recorded in the income statement in the period incurred.
As of January 1, 2021, Haulotte applied the new method relating to provisions for retirement according to ANC
recommendation no. 2013-02 amended on November 5, 2021 following a decision of IFRS IC taken in April 2021
which concluded that the provision to be recognized for the benefit should only be constituted over the period
which covers the last 16 years of service rendered by the employee.
This change in accounting method is assimilated to a change in accounting regulations.

2.9 OPERATING PROFIT
Revenue recognition
“Net sales” includes the goods and services sales comprising notably:
- Equipment sales to the distribution and renting subsidiaries of the group
- Direct sales to certain customers
- Spare parts sales
- Services.
Sales of goods are recorded net of value added tax at the date of transfer of risks and benefits of ownership.
Revenues related to services are recognised over the period during which the services are rendered.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses include notably material costs, production costs and overheads.
2.10 FINANCIAL INCOME
Financial income consists primarily of changes in provisions on investments and on intercompany current
accounts, exchange gains and losses (except those relating to commercial receivable and debt), interest income
and expenses on current accounts and financial costs associated with borrowing.
2.11 EXTRAORDINARY INCOME
Items that are exceptional in nature or that do not occur in the normal course of business are recognised under
extraordinary profit or loss. In accordance with the French National Accounting Code (Plan Comptable Général),
extraordinary profit or loss also includes allowances and reversals of special tax depreciation provisions.
NOTE 3 - POST-CLOSING EVENT
Regarding the recent geopolitical events in Ukraine and Russia, the Group considers that its economic exposure
in this region is limited, since the level of turnover achieved by the local entity established in Russia represents
approximately 5% of the group's turnover. No subsidiary of the group is established in Ukraine and the sales
made in Ukraine are immaterial. Moreover, in this period of high demand, with an orderbook that reached an
historical level, the Group is able to compensate the impact of a potential decrease of activity in this area.
The events listed above, as well as the sanitary situation in China, where a rebound of the Covid-19 epidemic has
been important, had unfavorable impacts on the inflation on the cost of raw materials, components, energy, and
transportations. In this uncertain context, the effects on operations and finances of the group linked to these
impacts and the duration of the conflict in Ukraine are under analysis. The group confirms, through the
implementation of the necessary resources, its ability to meet these challenges.

Provisions for post-employment benefits
Retirement commitments are estimated according to the projected unit credit method using end-of-career
wages according to the procedures described in paragraph 2.8, on the basis of the following assumptions:
- a mortality table INSEE 15-17 (vs 2020 INSEE 14-16)
-
-
a staff turnover rate based on available Group historical data
a salary increase rate based on the expected length of service, career development, the terms of collective
bargaining agreements and the rate of long-term inflation calculated on a historical basis
-
-
-
a 1 % discount rate (vs 2020 0.39%)
a retirement age for employees born before 1 January 1950 of 62 for managers, 60 for clerical staff
a retirement age for employees born after 1 January 1950 of 65 for managers, 63 for clerical staff.
Concerning end-of-career severance benefits, the assumption retained is that of voluntary retirement that takes
into account social security contributions (45 %). This method of calculation complies with the French Pension
Reform Act of 21 August 2003 Loi Fillon, (amended by the law n°2010-1330 dated 9 November 2010 as published
in the “Journal Officiel” dated 10 November 2010)
At 31 December 2021, the provision was split between:
- 4,363 thousand € for pensions provisions
- 311 thousand € for long-service award provisions.

Syndicated credit facility
On December 22nd, 2021, in order to allow Haulotte to maintain the necessary flexibility to manage its business at
a time of strong recovery, Haulotte submitted to all the lenders of the Syndicated Loan a request for a waiver
concerning the non-compliance with its banking ratios for the periods of December 2021 and June 2022. It was
unanimously accepted on February 15, 2022. This waiver request, obtained after the annual closing date, led to
the presentation of the Syndicated Loan as short-term debt as of December 31st, 2021.
The cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months do not question the Group's ability to ensure its liquidity with
regard to the credit lines opened and available at December 31, 2021 and the cash flow forecasts for the first
months of 2022.
Haulotte had obtained on June 30th, 2021, an extension of one more year of the syndicated loan agreement, as
disclosed in the contract signed on July 17th, 2019, bringing its maturity to July 17, 2026.

This is a translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements of the Company
issued in French and it is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking users.
This statutory auditors’ report includes information required by European regulation and French law, such as
information about the appointment of the statutory auditors or verification of the management report and
other documents provided to shareholders.
This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional
auditing standards applicable in France.
To the annual general meeting of Haulotte Group SA Company,
OPINION
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your annual general meeting, we have audited the
accompanying financial statements of Haulotte SA for the year ended December, 31st 2021.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial
position of the Company as at December, 31st 2021 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in
accordance with French accounting principles.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
BASIS FOR OPINION
Audit Framework
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
Independance
We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence requirements of the French
Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory
auditors, for the period from January, 1st 2021 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any
prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matter described in Notes 2.8 and 12 to the financial statements relating to
the impact on the opening balance as at January 1st, 2021 of the new method applied for the calculation of
provisions for retirement according to ANC recommendation no. 2013-02 amended on November 5, 2021. Our
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
JUSTIFICATION OF ASSESSMENTS – KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Due to the global crisis related to the covid-19 pandemic, the financial statements of this period have been
prepared and audited under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the
context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on
their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those
measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies’ internal
organization and the performance of the audits.

haulotte.com l STATUTORY ACCOUNTS 2021
STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT
ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
It is in this complex and evolving context that, in accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-
7 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform
you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were
of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed
those risks.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements.
Measurement of equity investments, receivables from investments and Group trade receivables
Identified risk
Haulotte Group SA holds equity in Group companies and operates a manufacturing business. As part of the
development of the Group, it carries out cash advances to finance its subsidiaries. In addition, it sells equipment
to its sales subsidiaries and provides services to the Group as a whole.
Equity investments, loans, receivables from investments and Group trade receivables recognized at 31 December
2021 represent some of the largest entries on the balance sheet. Equity investments are carried at cost and may
be impaired based on their value in use. Receivables from investments and Group trade receivables are
recognized at par value and may be written down on the basis of their recoverability.
As indicated in Note 2.3 to the financial statements, the value in use of shares in subsidiaries is estimated by
management based on equity at the closing date, forecast earnings for the concerned entities and/or the
EBITDA multiple method for the shares owned in the Acarlar subsidiary. These same inputs are used to evaluate
the recoverability of receivables from investments and trade receivables at Group level.
In order to estimate the value in use of equity investments, management is required to exercise judgement to
decide which inputs to use for each investee. These inputs either correspond to historical data (equity) or forecast
data (profitability outlook or the economic environment in the countries in which the investees operate).
The geographic location of certain subsidiaries and the competitive and economic environment in which they
operate could lead to a drop in their business activity and therefore affect their operating income, particularly in
the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Accordingly, due to the significant amounts at stake and the decisive impact of these measurements on the
assessment of the financial situation, assets and liabilities of Haulotte Group SA, we deemed the correct
measurement of equity investments, receivables from investments, Group trade receivables and provisions for
contingencies to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed this risk
Our audit work consisted primarily in verifying that the estimated values determined by management were
based on an appropriate measurement method and underlying data and, depending on the investment:
For valuations based on historical data:
- verifying that the equity values used were consistent with the financial statements of the entities for which
an audit or analytical procedures were performed and that any adjustments to equity were based on
documentary evidence.
For valuations based on the multiple method:
- ensuring the consistency of the panel of entities taken into consideration based on the review of our
specialists.
For valuations based on forecast data:
- obtaining the cash and operating cash flow projections for the activities of the entities concerned, as
prepared by their operational management teams, and assessing their consistency with the forecast data
taken from strategic plans drawn up by general management for each of their activities and approved,
where applicable, by the Board of Directors,
- verifying the consistency of the assumptions used with the economic environment at the closing date and
at the date on which the financial statements were prepared, particularly in the context of the Covid-19
pandemic.

ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In addition to assessing the values in use of the investees, our work also consisted in:
- assessing the recoverability of receivables from investments in light of the analyses conducted of equity
investments,
- verifying the recognition of provisions for contingencies where the Company is exposed to the losses of a
subsidiary with negative equity.
We also examined the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in the notes to the statutory financial
statements.
In addition to assessing the values in use of the investees, our work also consisted in:

We also examined the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in the notes to the statutory financial statements.
Assessment of the going concern basis
Description of risk
Statutory financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting.
As indicated in Note 1 “Significant events during the year” to the statutory financial statements, the financial
covenants defined in the Syndicated Loan have been breached as of December 31, 2021 due to the global strong
recovery of the market cumulated with difficulties in the supply chain. A waiver has been granted by all the
lenders to the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the half-year as at June 30, 2022.
As described in Note 13 “Borrowings”, the net financial debt as at December 31, 2021 amounts to € 150.7 million,
including the Syndicated loan for € 101.2 million to be paid back in 2026 and other financial debts and overdrafts
for € 49.5 million. Available cash amounts to € 9.3 million.
Based on :
- The cash available at Haulotte Group SA level as at December 31, 2021,
- The assumptions followed by Management to prepare a budget and assess expected cash-flows for all
subsidiaries including the liquidity at Group level and the remaining € 28.9 million unused revolving as part
of the syndicated loan as at December 31, 2021,
- The net financial debt of Haulotte Group SA,
the level of cash is considered as sufficient by Management to ensure the continuity of its activities and the
activity of all the subsidiaries.
Given the terms and conditions of the financial debts of the Group and the use of assumptions and estimates to assess the
expected rentability and future cash-flows, we deemed the assessment of the going concern to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed this risk
As part of our audit procedures, we assessed the level of liquidity needed by the Group based on future expected
cash-flows, actual cash and short-term credits available.
Our work consisted primarily in obtaining the details of future expected cash-flows and in understanding (i)
procedures followed and (ii) main assumptions applied to determine these cash-flows.
We assessed their consistency with the last business plan prepared by Management and approved by the executive
committee.
We also assessed their reasonableness compared to past performances and to the activity realized within the
FY22 first few months taken into consideration the actual economic and financial situation of the lifting
equipment manufacturing sector as well as an assessment of the on-going actions initiated by the Group as a
response of the Covid-19 crisis and of the conflict in Ukraine.
We also examined the appropriateness of the disclosures included in notes 1 “Significant events during the year”,
2 “Accounting policies”, 13 “Borrowings”, and 3 “Post closing events” to the statutory financial statements.

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Haulotte Group SA by the General Meetings held on 25 May 2021 for
BM&A and on 2 October 1998 for PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit.
As at 31 December 2021, BM&A and PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit were in the seventh year and the twenty-
fourth year of total uninterrupted engagement, which are the seventh year and the twenty-fourth year since
securities of the Company were admitted to trading on a regulated market, respectively.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH
GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with French accounting principles and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of
internal control and risks management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the
accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
STATUTORY AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Objectives and audit approach
Our role is to issue a report on the financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional
standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As specified in Article L.823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce), our statutory audit does
not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the
Company.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory
auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit and furthermore:
·
Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered
to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
·
Obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the internal control.
·
Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management in the financial statements.
·
Assesses the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
33
haulotte.com l STATUTORY ACCOUNTS 2021
STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT
ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty
exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein.
·
Evaluates the overall presentation of the financial statements and assesses whether these statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Report to the Audit Committee
We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes in particular a description of the scope of the audit
and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant
deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have
identified.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and which are
therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) N° 537/
2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set in
particular by Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce) and in the French
Code of Ethics (code de déontologie)for statutory auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss with the Audit
Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.

The term “responsibility” is not used in vain, as it determines how we make our decisions and how we
perform our activities. It is incumbent on us all to fit into an economy based on sharing and sustainability,
which meets environmental as well as economic requirements.
SUBSIDIARIES
To achieve our ambition, we shape our strategy around 3 priorities. First of all, four years ago we opted
for the electric transition with a view to becoming a Blue Company. We are proud of the fact that we were
the first to offer an all-terrain boom lift that can be 100% electrically operated. It is now up to us to pursue
this objective and increase from 85% to 100% of our product portfolio by 2028. We are also keen to provide
innovative, agile, diversified and digitized global solutions pour keep in tune with market developments.
Lastly, we are committed to providing our customers and partners with the best possible service.

Our vision for 2025 is underpinned by strong commitments to our employees, our customers and all
stakeholders. Committing does not mean promising; it means putting our heads together to find ways to
improve.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 2021
Laugh and be happy.
2021 – Launch of an Operational excellence program: YELLO
Excellence cannot be achieved if the working environment is not ideal for all employees. Thus, in each
initiative of the program, performance objectives will always be associated with working conditions to strike
the right balance;
YELLO is the operational excellence program launched by Haulotte at the end of 2020. Unlike many
operational excellence programs, it is not based on standards but chooses to put People at the center
of the system. The goal is to create a dynamic to ensure employee engagement so that employees
can embrace the approach and become actively involved in the change process. Rather than imposing a
group standard, the program is consistent with a “bottom-up”, co-creation approach, as employees
themselves determine their new way of working through the construction of a common framework.
In addition, everyone can evaluate their level of progress in a given practice by using maturity grids
developed by employees. These grids not only let you know where you are in terms of progress, they also
help share good practices between those at the lowest levels of the grid and those at the highest levels.
Learn from each other.
The purpose of Yello is to enable employees to create, test and share new practices. Thus, we will do away
with silos while creating a trusting, mutual aid environment within the company.
Outside the box.
If we are to be innovative, we must think outside the box and make breakthrough changes. The objective in
this case is to involve all employees in a different form of reflection to achieve better results.
The name YELLO has a very specific meaning, intended to reflect the spirit of the program:
YELLO was created to integrate operational excellence, quality of life at work and a QSE management
system into a single program.
You are the heart of the change.
Every employee will become actively involved in the change process. Yello allows them to come up with
improvement and optimization ideas in all departments of the Group;
2020 and 2021 were construction years during which the Group’s framework was created. 80 key business
practices have already been identified by employees and integrated into the framework (YCloud).
2022 will mark a new milestone in the Yello program, which will move from construction mode to the
steering of improvement action plans and progress in terms of maturity throughout the Group’s business
lines.
Excellence is our new way of working.
Not only improve but build a mindset and a system that will allow Haulotte to exceed its targets and
outperform competitors;

2021 REPORT
2021 – Implementation of an integrated Quality, Safety & Environment
management system
Since 2018, Haulotte has been working on the development of these processes, referred to as Macro-
Processes. They represent the way the entire Group operates. They summarize all the activities we perform
on a daily basis in the company to meet the needs of our customers and all our partners. This work began as
a result of the first Haulotte employee satisfaction survey conducted in 2017
Macro-processes help us work together by clarifying the requirements of each activity, with clearly defined
roles and responsibilities. They show of every employee of the Group collectively contributes to customer
satisfaction, irrespective of the business line, site or department. They come with resource and performance
indicators, as well as action plans.
To make a connection with our YELLO program, these macro-processes are mapped out to measure the level
of maturity, and enable comparisons with every entity of the group.
To make the most of this work, a decision was made to certify all of the group’s sites.
In 2021, 4 new sites were integrated into the group’s certificate:
Headquarters:
- H3, with the award of the triple Quality (ISO 9001), Safety (ISO 45001) and Environment certification (ISO 14001)
Distribution subsidiaries:
- Haulotte France, with the award of an Environment certification (ISO 14001)
Manufacturing factories:
- Reims (France), with the award of a Safety certification (ISO 45001)
- Arges (Romania), with the award of a Safety certification (ISO 45001)
Note: our audit cycle of the group’s sites was completed in December 2021. The certificates have been issued
and have therefore been valid since January 2022
2021 – Deployment of a new Quality Safety & Environment policy
In September 2021, Haulotte developed a new QSE policy, which was deployed within all sites. It translates
the mission statement of the Group’s Executive Committee into ambitions and objectives
All our certifications can be found on the map below
It introduces a number of QSE ambitions and objectives, which all come with indicators, and focuses on
the fight against climate change and the reduction of our operational activities’ environmental footprints.
It introduces, for the first time, the UN’s sustainable development goals, which will be deployed within the
Group in 2022.
In early 2022, every site will need to roll out this QSE policy by defining its own ambitions.

Question from the engagement survey
The creation of an environment conducive to employee engagement contributes to talent retention and
attraction
These engagement criteria, in addition to employee performance, have an effect on talent retention but
also on the company’s attractiveness.
The priority areas of the 2021 engagement survey were training and mobility.
Many actions are implemented each year at local or Group level to advance the employees’ engagement by
prioritizing major areas with them.
As a result of this approach, progress was made on all topics from 2017 to 2021.
POLICY:
This engagement development policy is based on the transformation strategy undertaken in 2017
throughout the Group, under the “Let’s dare” motto.
(and more) actions have been implemented since 2017
500
It consists of developing all employee engagement aspects, measured every three years via the
engagement survey, and implementing actions designed to improve areas identified as priorities.
For the 2021 tax year, in addition to local actions, focus was placed on training and development opportunities,
organization and procedures, in particular through macro-processes and the YELLO organization.
The topics of the survey include empowerment and autonomy, vision and meaning, cooperation,
confidence in the management, la performance, development of opportunities, retribution, quality and
customer focus, resources, respect and recognition, training, corporate organization and structure.
Priority areas for improvement derived from the survey include: inter-departmental cooperation,
organization and procedures, training, development opportunities and communication
Several topics contribute to this environment, including those discussed more specifically in 2021:
- Shared Vision and values (Charter written by employees)

- An inspiring framework created at the head office, intended to serve as a reference in the group (rolled out
in 2021 in particular in the new Chinese factory).
2- Skills management
CHALLENGES:
With an increasingly competitive labor market, the scarcity of skills and rapid developments, notably
technological, skills obsolescence is accelerating. Thus, a company’s ability to maintain its workers’
employability, develop their skills and provide career opportunities, so that they can become actors in
their professional project, is becoming critical to its future.
POLICY:
Haulotte wishes to create an environment conducive to the development of skills, allowing everyone
to address changing business needs. Training, the internal as well as external sharing and transfer of
knowledge, help address the challenges to be met as part of the learning company.
- A language and tools shared by all managers
This is why we wish to increase the number of trained employees and the number of training hours
provided.
- Numerous internal communication actions, including a digital magazine
We are also keen to develop mobility within the Group: hierarchical, geographical, functional.

- Continuous improvement actions as part of the engagement survey carried out at local and Group level.
Talent attraction and retention, as well as skills management, are two avenues investigated as part of the
development of employee engagement. The actions undertaken on these subjects often have a systemic
effect on engagement.
- Employee involvement approach as part of a commitment close to the field, in particular with the YELLO
program (YELLO: operational excellence program)
- Quality of Life at Work (QLW) and Telework agreements
In this context, a decision was made to deploy the “learning company” strategic focus, under the “Let’s grow
together” program name.
While this program is articulated around the setup of a Haulotte Academy, and its LMS (Learning Management
System), it also requires the implementation of an entire organization and culture.

ACTIONS AND RESULTS
1. Raising employee awareness
3- Protection of IT systems and personal data
(customers and employees)
The IT charter was reviewed and aims at raising users’ awareness of the effective use of IT tools. It is signed
by all employees upon induction, with a view to making it binding and enforceable. As part of their induction,
users also receive security training, explaining among other things what to do when a suspicious email is
detected.
CHALLENGES:
As IT tools form an integral part of Haulotte’s operation, IT security has become a genuine concern
within the Group. In previous years, and still today, computer-related threats and attempted fraud have
proliferated.
The IT Division is more than ever committed to protecting the company from potential cyber attacks. This
year, a number of actions have been launched and will be regularly reinforced.
IT security and the protection of our data are two essential tools in reducing the risk of financial loss and/
or damage in terms of image and reputation.
An alert message to be communicated to all employees in the event of an observed attack has been put in
place, as has an alert platform in case of failure of IT systems in order to prevent any security breach.
Phishing campaigns are conducted every quarter to inform employees and raise their awareness.
As the satisfaction of IT system users is a good quality of service indicator, a daily satisfaction survey is
conducted on closed tickets. This helps monitor user satisfaction in “real time”. In addition, at the end of
2021, a global satisfaction survey was sent to users.
POLICY:
The IT Division must be a business partner that brings value through innovative, digital, sustainable
and secure solutions, by contributing to the implementation of the strategic plan, drawing from the
performance of completed projects, an agile organization and appropriate communication, in a context of
Computer System security and data integrity.
In 2021, the same survey revealed that 91% of users are satisfied to very satisfied.

2. Compliance with personal data protection regulations
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Since the entry into force of the GDPR in May 2018, Haulotte has conducted a compliance audit in conjunction
with IBM. This audit was used to map out the risks associated with the management and protection of personal
data held by Haulotte, and establish an action plan to ensure sustained compliance with the regulation.

To date, Haulotte does not trade in personal data entrusted to them. Haulotte secures the consent of the
person entrusting their personal data, makes sure said data is used solely for the purposes described and
is effectively retained. Haulotte may return or destroy the holder’s personal data, on their express request.
This compliance also requires informing and training, as carried out in 2020 and continued in 2021, the
departments in charge of processing personal data and, subsequently, helping said departments update the
record of processing operations.

- IT&S Basics: maintaining a high level of performance, both in terms of projects and our daily support activity.
• Innovating to ensure growth, coming up with new machine ranges and/or service lines, thereby
maintaining Haulotte’s market leadership
- User centricity: supporting and accompanying the transition towards a digital business by human resources,
tools and through training
• Placing innovation at the heart of Haulotte’s strategy, as a key component of its competitiveness.
- Business Value: providing a solid, reliable information system, upgrading our ERP. We also aim at
implementing a solid CRM solution and developing global solutions
- Data Management: Business Intelligence has become a concern for businesses. The ambition is to acquire
modern, suitable tools to cope with these new DATA analysis challenges.
POLICY: intellectual property as a commercial conquest and communication instrument, and
increasingly dynamic R&D policy
- IT Security: every day, businesses get hacked, which delays or disrupts their activities for weeks or even
months. With this foundation, we want to guarantee business continuity by implementing an ambitious
cyber attack protection and response plan.
Haulotte believes intellectual property must become a commercial conquest and communication
instrument. A suitable intellectual property policy can make a considerable contribution to securing and
preserving market shares.
Furthermore, the adequate protection of the Group’s intellectual property rights and know-how creates
legal certainty and can generate benefits in terms of profit as well as image.
Our objective is to maintain an ever more dynamic R&D policy in order to cope with the new challenges
the Group may face, but also to develop our products by factoring in third party rights in this area, while
guaranteeing the protection of our own intellectual property rights.

Furthermore, the Company extensively recognizes creators, beyond patentable inventions. It recognizes and
respects inventors and creators of innovative ideas (employee invention policy).
5- Relationships with suppliers and subcontractors
Lastly, during the project creation process, an intellectual property notice is required to complete certain
steps.
CHALLENGES:
As Haulotte specializes in the design and assembly of lifting equipment, suppliers have a key role to play.
This is why quality cooperation is needed to optimize the company’s added value.
2. Respect for third party rights and protection of our rights
The main actions in this field are undertaken by the Industrial Property (IP) Manager.
The IP Manager regularly conducts a competitive intelligence and technological watch (freedom to operate,
state of the art), in particular to identify technological changes in the company’s areas of activity and make
sure third party rights are not infringed upon.
POLICY:
The Haulotte Group’s strategy includes the importance of maintaining ethical and responsible relations
with its suppliers.
This also allows them to assess the availability of intellectual property rights and check that the third party
respects our rights.
Moreover, the IP Manager strives to optimize our intellectual and industrial property policy by raising the
Haulotte employees’ awareness of the IP risk and involving them in the management of said risk. Thus, for
example, the results of the periodic watch are disseminated within the teams via monthly watch bulletins.

ACTIONS AND RESULTS
6 - Fight against climate change
1. Maintaining long-lasting relationships with our suppliers
For any new supplier, a panel admission procedure must be followed, and audits are conducted. The results
of the supplier audit are shared with all suppliers so that corrective actions can be taken if required to enter
the panel.
CHALLENGES:
In the current context where climate change is at the center of discussions and is now an undeniable
reality, this topic must be one of our primary concerns going forward. Thus, as a Group operating on various
continents subject to climate constraints, Haulotte is exposed to this issue and takes it into consideration.
Haulotte is currently working on a multi-year agreement project for all new projects.
With new suppliers, we have developed a partnership agreement to be signed prior to production launch. These
agreements define all modes of operation, expression of requirements, payment terms, prices, warranty,
quality standards, insurance (…), to commit to long-lasting relationships together. The improvement plans
agreed upon are also featured in the agreement, with the same objective in mind, i.e. building sustainable
relations.
POLICY:
Our objective is to take climate change into account in our business, when it comes to our products,
production process, production sites and points of sale.
As a result, the proportion of purchases from suppliers covered by the signing of a partnership agreement
rose from 34% in 2020 to 36% in 2021. Haulotte plans to segment its supplier base with a view to determining
core/strategic (complex product or long relationship) and basic suppliers. The long-term goal will be to
increase the number of agreements with core and strategic suppliers as a matter of priority.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
For existing suppliers, Haulotte organizes management meetings to share our respective expectations, our
development strategies and the progress of projects relating to new products. These exchange meetings,
which involve the management of both companies, help build a long-term vision with our supplier partners.

ACTIONS AND RESULTS
1. Management of environmental risks
The responsible purchasing charter was initially deployed for suppliers of series parts in 2019. Its objective
is to create a long-lasting, balanced relationship, while respecting the respective rights and obligations of
each party.
When establishing our various entities, the climate context of the area selected is taken into account to
anticipate any weather events likely to affect our activity.
Haulotte’s objective is for 70% of the 2022 annual turnover to be covered by a signed charter.
For new locations, we take into account, among other things, the earthquake risks of the areas in question,
and are assisted by our insurers for studies relating to the location of the premises selected.
In 2021, this approach was extended to the purchase of spare parts, and Haulotte’s objective is for 70% of the
2022 annual turnover to be covered by a signed charter.
Every entity certified by an environmental management system analyzes its context and environmental impact
in order to reduce it through action plans.
In 2022, Haulotte will extend the approach to general expenses purchases, with a target of 50% of the annual
turnover covered by the end of 2023.
At the same time, the confidentiality agreement has been signed between Haulotte and all its suppliers to
preserve the information of each party.
2 – Integration of climate issues into our BLUE strategy and our QHSE policy
When it comes to our products, we fully recognize the importance of climate issues and the fact that energy
is becoming a key development factor. This is why Haulotte is integrating the “blue” factor into its corporate
strategy, by developing and including more environmentally friendly, “all-electric” solutions in the business
model. It is in this context that our range of “all-electric, all-terrain” machines named PULSEO was launched.

A Quality, Safety and Environment policy was created and disseminated in September 2021, making it possible
to unite the company, its managers and employees around a shared environmental commitment. This policy
was translated into 10 languages. Our objective is to raise awareness among our employees, stakeholders
and customers of the importance of protecting the environment, in particular to encourage a reduction in
energy consumption.
7- Environmental impact of our activities
CHALLENGES:
In the face of climate change issues, in addition to reflections on the adaptation of processes and
production methods, Haulotte, like many companies, wishes to take concrete measures to protect the
environment.
3 . 2nd Life activity: second-hand offers and refurbishment of our machines

- Maximizing the recovery of our non-hazardous industrial waste and reducing our volume of waste per
machine,
- Reducing our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
In addition, an activity dedicated to the second life of machines, Second Life, has been put in place
These refurbishment solutions also extend the life of our customers’ machines. They can consist of a mere
aesthetic renewal, the repair and replacement of major parts, or even the addition of new technology. In any
event, during these operations, Haulotte takes into account all the latest user Safety standards, as well as the
latest environmental standards.

Haulotte strives to control the waste generated at all stages of its activity, on production sites as well as in
distribution hubs and subsidiaries.
Our new H3 head office was created with this environmental performance in mind, and is ISO 14001 certified.
We distinguish between 2 types of waste:
It supports this 14001 certification process for the group, with a single multi-site certificate (per standard)
for all certified group entities.
- Non-hazardous Industrial Waste (NHIW), whose composition is similar to that of household waste and can
be regarded as such. It is not inert or hazardous. It takes the form of offcuts, scraps or packaging, and
essentially consists of glass, plastic, metals, rubber, textile, paper, wood, organic animal or plant matter.
H3 leads the way in terms of environmental commitment by being a Smart building that adapts its Energy
consumption to climate variations; other specific actions consistent with our environmental policy have been
undertaken, such as the fight against food waste and waste sorting optimization.

The objective is to be correlated with production increases, thereby increasing gas consumption and
undoubtedly the Carbon footprint, despite action taken such as:
- Hazardous Industrial Waste (HIW), which can adversely affect humans and the environment due to one or
more of the hazardous properties listed in annex I to the decree of 18 April 2002. These properties require
taking special precautions and are submitted to a tighter administrative control.
- Mobility plan to identify the carbon footprint of business trips and commuter journeys with a view to triggering
impact reduction actions,
Haulotte has established a waste tracking and management mechanism, in keeping with the development of
the circular economy, recycling and recovery.

Thus, for production waste, we recover our industrial waste in proportion to the level of production so that it
can be reused in some cases. For added reliability, the monitoring indicator uses the amount of waste used
per machine according to its weight (kg of waste / kg of machine), as there can be a significant difference in

8- Respect for Human rights
9- Social dialogue
CHALLENGES:
CHALLENGES:
As multinational corporations are exposed to a variety of cultures and regulations as a result of their
location, the important thing is to make sure Human rights are respected within the Group, irrespective
of the activity (production, distribution, central services, etc.) and geographical situation of the entities
in question.
Regular, quality dialogue is a key lever for improving life at work. Haulotte maintains an ongoing dialogue
between employees, executives, staff representatives and the Management. Consequently, the role of
staff representatives, whether elected or appointed by employees, is recognized as an important issue
for the group
POLICY:
POLICY:
It is therefore important for Haulotte to ensure consistent respect for Human rights throughout its value
chain, within our internal as well as external environment
The positive social climate within the group is based on multiple local or harmonized human resource
practices, policies and agreements on topics such as social dialogue
All the provisions below relate to the French scope
ACTIONS AND RESULTS
With the “Let’s dare” approach, disseminated via multiple communication channels (training sessions,
participatory events, etc.), and its associated Charter of values, Haulotte has placed humans at the heart of its
activities. As mentioned above, the Group’s values have been determined by the employees themselves, during
various workshops bringing together populations from all backgrounds, all countries and all departments.
As a result, respect and trust stand out as two core values, giving rise to practices applicable to all and
specific practices for managers.
ACTIONS AND RESULTS
1. Quality of Life at Work and professional equality agreement
With the firm belief that diversity and the guarantee of good quality of life at work are the bedrock of social
performance, and therefore success in our company, in 2018 we entered into a four-year agreement on the
quality of life at work with our social partners, to promote a balance between the quality of life at work,
collective performance and the quality of the services provided to customers.
Besides the values applied by the Group to human resources within its organization, Haulotte’s intention
was also to extend a shared vision of core and basic values to its business partners. This is why Haulotte
introduced a Responsible Purchasing Charter, inviting the company’s suppliers to apply basic principles for
healthy and ethical business relations. This Charter continued to be deployed throughout 2021.
This agreement reaffirms our desire to help our employees better reconcile their work and family
responsibilities, and we are committed to improving parenthood-related representation within the company,
creating an environment favorable to employees with children and ensuring respect for the principle of non-
discrimination in the professional development of employees with children.
As part of this agreement, due to be renegotiated with social partners in 2022, we have made commitments
and implemented the following initiatives:
It features in particular a section on social commitments undertaken by Haulotte on topics such as the
eliminationofchildlabor, theghtagainstundeclaredworkortheghtagainstdiscriminationandharassment.
Haulotte believes it is of the utmost importance that the Group’s commitments in this regard are adopted and
observed by its partners in order to ensure this approach is as efficient and consistent as possible. We are
confident that sharing these commitments will lead us to a better, sustainable partnership together.
- Commitments regarding the right to disconnect,
- Commitments in favor of gender equality in the workplace,
- Alternative work arrangements for the beginning of the school year and employees whose child or spouse
is disabled or has a long-term illness requiring ongoing care at fixed times or scheduled care,
- Organization and promotion of e-training,
Lastly, an anti-slavery charter was introduced within the Haulotte UK and Haulotte Australia companies
(wholly-owned subsidiaries of Haulotte Group S.A). In accordance with local regulations, this charter describes
the principles and good practices in combating modern slavery applied at group level.
- Carer’s leave for employees who wish to suspend their employment contract to care for a relative with a
particularly severe disability or diminished independence.

2. Renewed agreement on regular Telework
10- Responsibilities when conducting business
With the firm belief that telework is an effective lever making it easier to combine professional with personal
life, reduce the constraints and risks associated with the trips, but also a way of enhancing the attractiveness
of Haulotte’s social model, the Management suggested initiating discussions with social partners on this new
organization of working time in 2019. A new regular Telework agreement was signed in France in 2021, giving
the employees of all Haulotte Group sites the option of working from home 4 days a month.
CHALLENGES:
All multinational corporations are exposed to various tax regulations, which complicates flows and
controls. The Group has 6 production sites and 21 subsidiaries, and operates in more than 100 countries,
making for a broad variety of tax regimes. As a result, Haulotte must pursue a responsible tax policy
3. Other agreements
Furthermore, multinational corporations located in different parts of the world subject to different
regulations, cultures or customs are faced with a major challenge, i.e. the fight against corruption.
Attesting to the desire to maintain the momentum of social dialogue, an agreement on the establishment of
a CSE (Social and Economic Committee), the modernization of social dialogue and the right of association
entered into force in 2018 for a 5-year period.
The agreement on the organization and adjustment of working time was still valid in 2021. It is monitored by
the central CSE as part of the annual consultation on the social, working conditions and employment policy.
POLICY:
Following the mapping of corruption risks within the group, by virtue of the Sapin 2 Law, the company
adopted an anti-corruption code of conduct as well as tools and processes designed to prevent tax evasion.
With operations in 21 countries, Haulotte is committed to complying with the local tax regulations in
force. The Group strives to guarantee the arm’s length principle via a transfer pricing policy. In France, a
proactive fiscal partnership approach was initiated in 2019

Since 2021, this code of conduct has been attached to the employment contract of any new recruit.
2. Compliance with applicable tax regulations
code of conduct, the company reasserts its commitment to conducting its business by upholding the highest
ethical standards, in accordance with all its applicable legal obligations.
Haulotte has operations in more than 20 different tax jurisdictions. Haulotte is committed to the payment
of taxes and contributions in every country. There is no structure aimed at implementing tax optimization
schemes within the Group.
In addition, the Company also introduced an anonymous whistleblowing tool for any employee in possession
of information on or suspecting misconduct that may constitute corruption. The platform is hosted by the
WhistleB Company, which guarantees the anonymity of any alerts and the encryption of the data collected.
Potential alerts are sent to the Group’s Secretary general or, if this person is accused, the Group’s Deputy
CEO.
Two tax consolidations were put in place between Group entities, one in France (between Haulotte Group S.A.,
Haulotte France and Telescopelle) and one in the USA (between Haulotte US and Equipro).
The subsidiaries’ financial officers (along with consultants where appropriate) are responsible for complying
with tax obligations. Most subsidiaries submit tax returns and can, where appropriate, be subject to audits.
Haulotte follows all the findings of these various audits (some of them giving rise to a specific focus on the
transfer pricing policy). No significant tax adjustment has been reported as a result of the latest audits. For
example, this was the case for the last two tax audits of the Haulotte Group S.A. Company. For the monitoring
of fiscal developments, the Group works with consultants (local or international) to monitor changes in
standards. In addition, the levels of taxes owed are reviewed by central teams to verify the consistency and
changes in the amounts paid locally. The consolidated accounts feature proof of tax to explain the Group’s
effective level of tax. The application of the IFRIC 23 standard also helps anticipate tax risks.
Maximum number of days for taking alerts into account on this platform. The risk manager is
granted administrator access to the platform to make sure alerts are taken into account within
this period.
20
This tool can also be used to ask questions on an anonymous basis to assist in decision-making.
Since 2020, the alert platform is accessible to employees via a link featured on the Haulotte intranet.
In 2021, an e-learning tool was created to train employees in the principles defined in the code of conduct,
raise their awareness of the various aspects of the “corruption” concept and explain how the alert platform
works. It will be put on line on the Haulotte Academy platform in February 2022. From then on, it will be
deployed among all Haulotte Group SA and Haulotte France employees who have access to the Haulotte
Academy.
3. Transfer pricing policy
When determining its transfer prices, Haulotte seeks to find the most traditional method, consistent with
OECD principles, while keeping simple benchmarks and calculation methods.
This policy is developed so as to leave in each Group company the arm’s length operational income defined
through comparable studies and according to the subsidiaries’ roles, risks and responsibilities.
This e-learning tool will also be integrated into the induction program of any new recruit.
Comparables are determined with the support of specialized tax lawyers working for a renowned international
consultancy firm.
To monitor regulatory developments and ensure good practices in the fight against corruption, Haulotte
participates in the working group initiated by Middlenext.
Transfer prices are regularly audited by tax inspectors during their tax audits.
A supplier evaluation grid was prepared in 2021 to rate their level of maturity with regard to the fight against
corruption during the panel admission process. It has been used since July 2021 for the TOP 4 suppliers:
4. Fiscal partnership with the French government
On 14 March 2019, Haulotte became a fiscal partner of the French administration. This partnership is
based on a voluntary principle and is intended for major groups and mid-cap companies. It helps establish
regular, transparent dialogue between businesses and the administration, to secure a firm position from said
administration on complex tax issues, likely to pose a financial or legal risk. This is achieved through more
transparency from both parties. With this partnership, the authorities can ensure that businesses comply
with tax regulations much more effectively, while stepping up their fight against fraud and guaranteeing
enhanced legal certainty.

This committee, originally set up for industrial purposes, was modified in 2021 to include all Group entities.
All activities are now represented, and the topics discussed cover all sites of the Haulotte Group.
POLICY:
Our goal is to drastically reduce our number of work-related accidents on all our sites worldwide: the
target remains zero accident.
During these committee meetings, attended by 2 members of the Excom, we also share the prevention actions
taken as well as good safety practices.
In 2021, we continued our prevention efforts towards reducing frequency and severity rates in all industrial
sites and distribution subsidiaries. A safety committee meets every 2 months with all those involved
in prevention (heads of industrial units, heads of sites, R&D director and QSE and human resources
managers) to dynamically discuss results and share good practices. Indicators of frequency and severity
rates are now available on all industrial sites worldwide, and the approach was extended to distribution
subsidiaries in Europe.
Reduction in the number of lost-time work-related accidents in 2021 compared with 2020 for
the Group.
25%
Several actions undertaken in 2021 helped reduce the number of accidents within the Group:
- All work-related accidents are systematically subject to a causal analysis with a view to defining targeted
action plans, via the 8D problem-solving or causal tree method. All teams in charge of safety have been
trained in these analysis methods.

12- Diversity and Disability
Another example taking into account health and safety themes can be noted. The design of the new Changzhou
factory includes considerable means of improving the working conditions of our employees:
CHALLENGES:
- Heating and air-conditioning, even in assembly workshops
- Special attention paid to lighting in the various areas of the factory, and to soundproofing the offices
We must support the company’s transformation by regarding the different workstations as completely
mixed. In addition to complying with our legal obligations, we need to adopt a proactive job retention
policy through supporting and workstation reorganization actions, while further opening positions under
recruitment to workers with disabilities.
- Possibility of conducting all machine tests and verifications indoors, and partial automation to facilitate
their conduct
- Implementation of digital tools to make the work easier and reduce the mental strain on assembly lines
(indicator lights for parts, easily accessible documents at the workstation, etc.)
- New office layout to facilitate collaboration and allow for privacy where necessary (similar to what was done
at the group’s head office).
POLICY:
Convinced that diversity is an asset for social performance and therefore the company’s overall success,
Haulotte has adopted a proactive policy in terms of job desegregation and gender equality in the workplace.
Our aim is to improve gender balance, in particular in business lines where men or women are currently
underrepresented.
2. Management of the health crisis brought about by the Covid 19 pandemic
Significant resources continue to be deployed to protect the health and safety of our employees. Reinforced
cleaning services are still deployed on all our sites.
The objective is also to develop access to our job offers for workers with disabilities to boost the
employment of disabled workers within the Company.
Sustained social dialogue is established to keep close contact with the social partners, who were very
instrumental in the different safety protocols put in place in order to protect employees.
Anychangetosafetyrules(4successiveversionswerereleasedinFranceaccordingtoregulatorydevelopments)
was submitted to the central CSE for information and review, after which site CSEs validated all safety rules
with their health, safety and working conditions committees, making any amendments rendered necessary
by the configuration of their site.

ACTIONS AND RESULTS
13- Green taxonomy
1. Actions in favor of diversity
Our management program incorporates the wealth of diversity of profiles within a team and the company,
in particular by taking into account elements such as self-knowledge (natural and adapted), our personal
characteristics and motivations, but also those of others and the fact that they are bound to differ (use of the
AEC Disc color method).
CHALLENGES:
Derived from the action plan for finance launched in 2018 by the European Commission, European
regulation 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 establishes a framework to facilitate “sustainable” investment,
referred to as “EU green taxonomy”. Under this regulation, for the first time the Group is under the
obligation, for the 2021 tax year, to publish the proportion of its business eligible for taxonomy: turnover,
capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX), for the first two environmental objectives
relating to climate change.
These differences are a source of wealth for the Group, and regarding them as such helps improve interactions,
communication and cooperation (for example they teach us that it is preferable to communicate with someone
not as we would like them to communicate with us, but rather as they need us to communicate with them).
All managers and a number of employees have therefore been trained in this wealth and diversity needed to
create a team.
We follow a neutral, egalitarian recruitment policy (all genders, ages, etc.). Regardless of the type of position
on offer, the Human Resources Division undertakes to ensure that the wording and content of the ads are
written in a neutral manner without reference to the gender, family situation or potentially discriminatory
terminology.
1. European Green taxonomy
The regulation establishing EU taxonomy sets up the framework needed for the application of this taxonomy,
by defining four conditions to be met by an economic activity to be considered environmentally sustainable.
An eligible activity must:
On a voluntary basis on each site, a point of contact was appointed by CSEs and is in charge of combating sexist
behavior. They have a preventive role which consists in particular of escalating alerts when inappropriate
behavior is identified.
i.
Substantially contribute to one or more of the 6 environmental objectives

iv.

specify, for any economic activity, the performance requirements used to determine how this activity i)
substantially contributes to a given environmental objective; and ii) does not cause significant damage to the
other objectives.
21
2. Actions in favor of disability
For many years, Haulotte has lived up to its obligation to employ disabled workers. Up until now, the main
actions focused on job retention. It is now time to deploy actions with a view to increasing the recruitment
rate of people with disabilities.
Thus, actions have been undertaken such as subcontracting partnerships with ESAT (Work integration social
enterprises), workstation adaptations, assistance with AGEFIPH applications (association for the professional
integration of people with disabilities).
Reporting procedures have undergone minor changes since 2020. The average number of disabled workers
for HGSA is 23, i.e. 3.61% of the workforce instead of the 6% obligation.
The 2021 tax is now payable and calculated in April each year, which is why we do not know its amount yet.
Potential new actions are currently under examination, such as the publication of job offers on websites
dedicated to the employment of disabled workers, the negotiation of a binding agreement with a view to
promoting the employment of disabled workers, and the appointment of a disability contact person.

2021 REPORT
The taxonomy regulation is supplemented by two delegated acts: the first one published in April 2021 outlining
the environmental technical criteria for the first two objectives, and the second one published in July 2021
outlining the expected reporting methods on taxonomy.
The Group invests in research, innovation and development so that these activities can substantially contribute
to climate change mitigation. The OPEX presented in the table above consist primarily of the amortization of
capitalized R&D costs.
An economic activity is considered a substantial contributor to preventing and reducing pollution when it
substantially contributes to protecting the environment against pollution by preventing or, should this be
impossible, reducing emissions of pollutants into air, water or soil, other than greenhouse gases.
This initial evaluation was made based on an analysis of the Group’s activities, on the reporting processes and
systems in place, and on assumptions made in conjunction with the management. Only material elements
were included.
The Group will revise this methodology and resulting figures to reflect regulatory changes, in particular with
the publication of delegated acts relating to the other four environmental objectives in 2022.
Reducing the carbon intensity of transport fleets and infrastructures can be instrumental in climate change
mitigation. We should target the reduction in leading sources of emissions by factoring in the need to refocus
on less polluting forms of transport and to create infrastructures conducive to clean mobility.

Denominator as of 31/12/2021
Denominators are determined as follows:
- The total turnover corresponds with the turnover as featured in financial statements,
- Total CAPEX corresponds with the CAPEX flows as featured in financial statements: flows of tangible and
intangible fixed asset acquisitions,
- The delegated regulation features a restrictive list of OPEX to be taken into account when calculating the
denominator: R&D expenses, building renovation expenses, short-term leases, maintenance/servicing and
repair expenses, and all other maintenance costs.
Haulotte identified a number of eligible activities in keeping with a carbon intensity reduction approach. Among
these transitional economic activities, the entire electric range developed and sold by the Group contributes
to reducing greenhouse gases. The Group also initiated new activities such as “2nd life”, including the
refurbishment of machines and sale of second-hand equipment to help extend the service life of machines.
Furthermore, the “Sherpal” telematics solution ensures increased vigilance with respect to maintenance
operations, thereby allowing for better control over greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. filter problems) while
also contributing to extending the service life of their machines.
