Douglas Dynamics, Inc (NYSE: PLOW)

Douglas Dynamics, Inc. is North America's premier manufacturer and upfitter of commercial work truck attachments and equipment. For more than 75 years, the company has designed and produced snow and ice control attachments, truck mounted service cranes and dump hoists, municipal snow and ice control products, and upfit solutions for trucks and vans. The company organizes its operations into two reporting segments: Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions.

The company generates revenue primarily through the sale of its products and related parts and accessories. In the Work Truck Attachments segment, revenue comes from snowplows, sand and salt spreaders, truck mounted cranes, dump hoists, and aftermarket parts. In the Work Truck Solutions segment, revenue is derived from municipal snow and ice control equipment and the upfit of attachments, storage solutions, and related components. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, approximately 80%, 82% and 84% of net sales in the Work Truck Attachments segment came from snow and ice control equipment and truck mounted cranes and dump hoists, with the remainder from parts and accessories. Revenue is also supported by a financing program that allows distributors to finance purchases through a third party, though the company retains limited recourse.

The company operates through the following segments: Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions.

• Work Truck Attachments: This segment manufactures and sells snow and ice control attachments such as snowplows and sand and salt spreaders under the FISHER®, SNOWEX® and WESTERN® brands, and truck mounted service cranes and dump hoists under the VENCO® and VENTURO® brands, together with related parts and accessories.
