TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Second quarter earnings of $6.7 million, or 70 cents per share,
increased 5% from last year on a sales increase of 6%. The continued
strengthening of the dollar reduced sales by $1.9 million and net earnings by
an estimated $0.5 million, or 5 cents per share.
Six-month earnings of $12.0 million, or $1.24 per share, increased 11%
from last year. Sales for the period were up 7%. The stronger dollar reduced
sales by $3.9 million and net earnings by an estimated $1.0 million, or 10
cents per share.
STRONG PERFORMANCE DESPITE ECONOMIC PRESSURES
Our results showed improvement over last year's strong second quarter
despite the continuing sharp rise in the value of the dollar. Operating
margin reached the 10% level, and earnings per share were up 11% on higher
net earnings and lower shares outstanding.
Consolidated orders, on a local currency basis, were up 7.5% for the six
months on increases of 6% in the second quarter and 9% in the first. European
orders continued to show strong gains, and our floor coatings business had a
significant order increase in second quarter. The overall slowdown in the
second quarter orders was due to a continuing decline in non-European
international markets, primarily due to the Asian situation, and a lower rate
of increase for North American industrial products orders. We believe the
slowing of North American industrial orders to a 6% increase was primarily
due to weaker economic conditions.
NEW PRODUCTS BRIGHTEN OUTLOOK FOR REST OF 1998
The Asian economic crisis has been deeper and the dollar has been
stronger than expected, and this has impacted our international and domestic
businesses. We have been successful overcoming these challenges to date and
believe we can continue to do so assuming conditions do not worsen.
We are introducing a record number of new and updated products this year
that will be in full production during the second half. These new products,
combined with those introduced in recent years, should give us a strong
competitive advantage and allow us to put order growth back on a higher
growth track than we experienced in the second quarter.
In support of our objective to enhance shareholder value, we have
repurchased 430,000 shares of Tennant common stock so far this year. An
additional 263,000 shares remain to be purchased under authority granted by
the board in February 1998.

CAPITALIZING ON INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP
Tennant is clearly a market leader in industrial products in North
America and many international locations. It is using this leadership
position as a stepping stone to becoming preeminent globally in
nonresidential floor maintenance equipment, floor coatings and related
products.
Tennant will achieve this strategic mission by implementing its growth
strategies:
- - Offering the most complete line of innovative floor maintenance products.
This is supported by an industry-leading investment in research and
development to regularly introduce new and significantly upgraded products.
- - Bringing together its complementary product lines to offer total solutions
to customers' floor maintenance needs, ensuring their satisfaction.
- - Investing in technology to develop more efficient and effective operations
and to better serve customers.
- - Using a strong balance sheet and cash flow to finance expansion.
Tennant's financial mission is to create value for shareholders by
providing an above-average total return. Supporting financial goals are:
- - Annual increases of 8% in sales and better than 10% in earnings per share
over the long term.
- - Return on equity averaging 20% in the years of economic cycle growth.
Tennant was founded in 1870. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
Tennant has manufacturing facilities in Minneapolis; Holland, Michigan; and
Uden, The Netherlands, and sells and services it products directly in eight
countries and through distributors in more than 45 others.
PRODUCTS FOR A CLEANER AND SAFER WORLD
This summer, Tennant will debut one of the smallest riding power
sweepers in the world: the Model 6100. With a machine width of just 32
inches, the 6100 will fit through the smallest doorways, down the narrowest
aisles, and into the tightest spaces. Maintenance managers can even transport
the tiny sweeper between floors via a standard elevator.
The 6100 will, quite simply, be one of the most compact, maneuverable,
easy-to-use power sweepers in the world. And Tennant will, once again, lead
its industry when it comes to manufacturing products for a cleaner, safer
world.
