15 Joe Johnson Equipment Acquisition * Estimate based on unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). ** Includes estimated impact of resulting intercompany eliminations, including Federal Signal’s sales to JJE, which approximated US$55 M in 2015.

JJE Acquisition: Staying Close to the Core  Significantly expands our industrial footprint from 13 to 25 service centers throughout Canada and US  Expands our share of after-market activity  Allows capture of additional customer base  Attractive margin profile  Product offering to capture more market and respond to competition  Solid rental platform that we can leverage across North America, complementing existing Jetstream rentals  Strong municipal equipment distributor  Leverage existing channel to increase industrial coverage for our Jetstream, Guzzler and Westech products  JJE should benefit from new Canadian focus on infrastructure spend 16 * Estimated % of JJE 2015 revenues based on unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with ASPE.

Financial Attributes  Modest-sized “tuck-in” acquisitions with potential for larger transformative transactions  Identifiable synergies  Healthy recurring revenue  Solid operating margin opportunities  Earn more than the Company’s risk-adjusted cost of capital Business Attributes  Aligned with strategies  Leadership in a market segment • Products to expand FSC core  Industrial focus, strong distribution • Similar manufacturing capabilities or opportunities to leverage 80/20 principles  Strong management 17 Acquisition Strategy – Stay Close To The Core • Complementary product/services offerings that better meet customer requirements • Channel access for FSC products to new or extended markets • Complementary offerings for new or underserved geographies Geographies Products Channels and Markets • Customer/channel expansion to new or underserved geographies Ideal Candidates: JJE checks a lot of boxes in our stated acquisition strategy and helps us on our path to $250 M of revenue from acquisitions within three years • New offerings that can capitalize on existing FSC channels • Products utilizing FSC core production capabilities • Products and services that provide FSC with competitive advantage, e.g. “one stop shop solutions” Note: Gray boxes highlight JJE’s fit with FSC stated acquisition strategy.

Priority Driven Capital Allocation  Organic projects leverage existing assets, generally require limited cash investment  Innovation R&D efforts target new and updated products  Generally, already funded within operating results, cash flow and normal capital expenditures  Desire to add at least $250 M from acquisitions to our revenue run-rate within the next 3 years  Focused primarily on acquisitions that fit closely within our existing products and services, manufacturing competencies, channels and customers  Opportunistic share buybacks as a return of cash to our shareholders  Spent $16.3 M in Q1 2016, compared to $10.6 M in full year 2015  Remaining repurchase authorization represents ~7% of our market capitalization Reinvest in the Business Dividend Policy Share Repurchase Acquisitions  Provide a competitive dividend yield while funding business growth  At $0.07 per share, dividend yield is ~2%  Paid dividends of $4.3 M in Q1 2016 and $15.6 M in full year 2015 18

The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations below, and to provide an additional measure of performance which management considers in operating the business. 24 ($ in millions, expect per share amounts) 2014 2015 Q1 YTD 2016 Income from continuing operations 59.7$ 65.8$ 10.4$ Add: Income tax expense 23.7 34.1 5.7 Income before income taxes 83.4 99.9 16.1 Add: Acquisition and integration related expenses - - 0.5 Debt settlement charges - - 0.3 Restructuring - 0.4 1.2 Adjusted income before income taxes 83.4 100.3 18.1 Adjusted income tax expense (1) (2) (3) (27.6) (35.6) (6.4) Adjusted net income from continuing operations 55.8$ 64.7$ 11.7$ EPS from continuing operations (diluted) 0.94$ 1.04$ 0.17$ Adjusted EPS from continuing operations (diluted) 0.88$ 1.02$ 0.19$ (2) Adjusted income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 excludes a $1.4 million net benefit from special tax items, comprising of a $4.2 million net tax benefit associated with tax planning strategies, offset by a $2.4 million adjustment of deferred tax assets and $0.4 million of expense associated with a change in the enacted tax rate in the U.K. Adjusted income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 also excludes the tax effects of restructuring charges (3) Adjusted income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 excludes the benefit of two special tax items: $3.5 million for the release of valuation allow ance against foreign deferred tax assets and $0.4 million associated with a change in the Spanish income tax rate (1) Adjusted income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was recomputed after excluding the impact of restructuring activity, acquisition and integration related expenses, and debt settlement charges

Appendix 4: Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA The Company uses the ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA as one measure of its long-term financial stability. The ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents total debt divided by the trailing 12-month total of income from continuing operations before interest expense, debt settlement charges, restructuring charges, other (income)/expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company uses the ratio to calibrate the magnitude of its debt and its debt capacity against adjusted EBITDA, which is used as an operating performance measure. We believe that investors use a version of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions (including the Company’s lenders) use the ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. For these reasons, the Company believes that the ratio is a meaningful metric to investors in evaluating the Company’s long-term financial performance and stability. Other companies may use different methods to calculate total debt to EBITDA. The following table summarizes the Company’s ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA, and reconciles income from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA as of and for the trailing twelve month periods ended. : 25 ($ in millions) 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Q1 TTM 2016 Total Debt 217.4$ 157.8$ 92.1$ 50.2$ 44.1$ 0.6$ Income from continuing operations 8.1 15.5 152.5 59.7 65.8 61.8 Add: Interest expense 16.2 21.3 8.9 3.6 2.3 2.1 R s ruc uri g - 1.4 0.7 - 0.4 1.6 D bt ttl ment charges - 3.5 8.7 - - 0.3 Other (income)/expense, net - 0.9 0.1 1.7 1.0 (0.9) Income tax expense 2.0 1.4 (108.6) 23.7 34.1 31.5 Depreciation and amortization 10.5 10.6 11.0 11.5 12.3 12.3 Adjusted EBITDA 36.8$ 54.6$ 73.3$ 100.2$ 115.9$ 108.7$ Total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio 5.9 2.9 1.3 0.5 0.4 0.0
