JLG Named to FORTUNE List of 100 Fastest-Growing Companies

JLG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:JLG) announced today that it
has placed 22nd on FORTUNE magazine's 2006 list of the 100
Fastest-Growing Companies. To compute the rankings, FORTUNE uses data
from Zacks Investment Research and gives equal weight to three
factors: profit and sales growth (for three years through the first
quarter of 2006) and three-year total return (through June). The
company's total shareholder return ranked 17th with revenue and
earnings-per-share growth rates ranking 46th and 52nd, respectively.
   "JLG is proud to be named to this select group of high-performing
companies," said Bill Lasky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "It
is gratifying to see our financial performance recognized in this way.
It reinforces our ability to transform strategy and performance into
shareholder value."
   Companies qualifying for this year's listing were required over
the three years ended on or before March 31, 2006 to be incorporated
in the U.S.; to have a minimum market capitalization of $250 million
and a stock price of at least $5; to have traded continuously since
June 30, 2003; to have revenue and net income for the four quarters
ended on or before March 31, 2006, of at least $50 million and $10
million, respectively; and to have a compound annual growth in revenue
and earnings per share of at least 25% annually. The complete list of
the 100 Fastest-Growing Companies for 2006 appears in the September 18
