Actual results are still subject to the routine quarterly audit review process. Based upon this strong first quarter expected performance, Tennant now anticipates earnings for the full year of 2010 to be in the range of $0.90 to $1.20 per diluted share on net sales in a range of $630 million to $660 million. The company&#8217;s previously provided guidance anticipated earnings for the full year of 2010 in the range of $0.70 to $1.00 per diluted share on net sales in the ran
ge of $615 million to $645 million.</font></div>

The double-digit increase over the 2009 first quarter net sales of $129 million was due primarily to continued demand for our proprietary ec-H2O&#8482; technology platform and sales to strategic account customers, many of whom have recently designated Tennant as one of their preferred suppliers.&#8221;</font></div>
