Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization's businesses, strategy and financial planning where such information is material.

Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organization has identified over the short, medium and long term.

Short term: 1-2 years

Medium term: 3-5 years

Long term: 5+ years

Long-term opportunity: Oshkosh Corporation signed the Business Ambition for 1.5°C pledge in 2022, joining other leading companies committing to set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. The commitment to setting science-based targets in 2024 will accelerate the transition to a lower carbon model. We are developing specific plans to reduce our GHG in our operations and products. In all our product lines, we currently offer or have in development alternative powertrains, including fully electric, hybrid and compressed natural gas solutions that significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our products.

Long-term risk: Physical change and extreme variability in weather patterns could result in operational limitations.

The potential for inadequate water supplies in the long term brought about by changing weather patterns could lead to operational disruptions or increased capital expenditures, especially in certain areas that already are experiencing water supply constraints. Also, the increased frequency of violent storms could lead to property damage and business continuity issues. Increased temperatures could also have an impact on workforce productivity.

Our Sustainability Team works closely with our Enterprise Risk Advisory Team (ERAT). The ERAT consults legal, engineering, investor relations and treasury to understand the Company's exposure to climate-related risk in areas including current and emerging regulation, research

and development and reputation. These risks and opportunities are evaluated as part of our overall risk management process, discussed in further detail in the risk management section.

Risk management

Disclose how the organization identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks.

Recommended disclosure

Describe the organization's processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks.

Comment/disclosure

Oshkosh's VP of Risk Management is fully dedicated to risk management at Oshkosh and supports executive leadership as well as Oshkosh's Board and ERAT. The ERAT, consisting of representatives from operations, finance, legal, supply chain, engineering and strategy, is responsible for overseeing the Company's management of enterprise-level risks, including climate-related risks such as climate-related policies and regulations that can impact our products, services and operations. Risks and opportunities are identified and addressed annually. Oshkosh bases its approach to risk managment on the COSO framwork, an iterative process that focuses on the effective mitigation of key threats and execution of opportunities. Based on this process, formal mitigation plans are developed, implemented and monitored by the ERAT.

Exposure to and experience with catastrophic risks or losses from climate change or other natural events, such as wind, flooding. hail or winter storm events are analyzed and reviewed for ongoing operations and when evaluating new sites and supplier selection. This analysis is incorporated into future site planning, supplier selection processes and risk mitigation and strategic development.

Oshkosh takes a primarily qualitative approach to assessing risks related to climate. The process for assessing relative significance of all identified risks, including climate-related risks, is as follows: (i) Risks and opportunities are categorized based on probability and impact on financial performance, operations, reputation, etc. (ii) All top risks have approved mitigation plans and are reviewed regularly by the OLT and the Board. (iii) All other risks have either approved mitigation plans and are reviewed at least once a year by the executive leadership team, or after being fully analyzed, are put on a "watch list" and are monitored by the risk department.
