<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October 8, 2004, Tennant Company (the &#147;Company&#148;)

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This news release
includes presentations of non-GAAP measures that include or exclude unusual or
non-recurring items.&#160; For each non-GAAP
measure, the news release also provides the most directly comparable GAAP
measure and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the GAAP measure.&#160; Management believes that the non-GAAP measures
provide useful information to investors regarding the Company&#146;s results of
operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful
comparison and understanding of the Company&#146;s operating performance for the
current, past or future periods.&#160;
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing
operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative
operating performance of the Company.</font></p>

Charge of $1.9 Million, $0.21 Per Share</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">MINNEAPOLIS,
Minn., Oct. 8, 2004 &#151;Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC) said today that it is taking
actions to permanently reduce costs as part of a continuing effort to improve
profitability.&#160; The actions include the
elimination of a net 65 management and administrative positions company-wide on
a base of approximately 2,500 employees.&#160;
The workforce reductions will result in a severance charge of
approximately $1.9 million after tax, or $0.21 per diluted share, which the
company is recognizing in its third quarter ended September 30, 2004.&#160; The workforce reductions are expected to
produce net annualized savings totaling $2 million to $3 million pre-tax in
2005, increasing to $4 million to $5 million pre-tax in 2006 and beyond.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:black;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">Taking into account the third quarter severance
charge, Tennant now expects to report earnings per diluted share of $1.34 to
$1.49 for the full year.&#160; Excluding the
third quarter severance charge, this revised forecast of 2004 earnings per
diluted share is within the lower half of the company&#146;s previous full year
guidance of $1.55 to $1.85.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The company also
said that earnings per diluted share for the 2004 third quarter, including the
severance charge, are expected to range from $0.07 to $0.10.&#160; Excluding the severance charge, earnings per
diluted share for the 2004 third quarter are expected to range from $0.28 to
$0.31.&#160; In the comparable 2003 period,
the company reported net earnings of $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted
share.&#160; Third quarter net earnings were
dampened by soft volume early in the quarter, higher than expected steel and
petroleum-related materials costs, and increased selling and administrative
expenses, including higher marketing costs for products being launched in the
second half of 2004 and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;The actions we
took during the third quarter reflect our previously stated commitment to
complement revenue growth initiatives with concerted efforts to leverage our
cost structure to improve our overall profitability,&#148; said Janet M. Dolan,
Tennant Company&#146;s president and chief executive officer.&#160; &#147;While sales volume is recovering, we are
further reducing our overall cost structure to achieve our economic profit
goals and fund our growth initiatives.&#148;</font></p>
