Adjusted earnings for the quarter were $1.30 per share, compared to $2.17 per share in the prior-year period.

Consolidated net sales in the quarter decreased 18.7 percent to $1.78 billion from $2.20 billion, reflecting a 39 percent decrease in sales in the Access Equipment segment as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact demand in this segment.

Oshkosh said its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share of common Stock. The dividend, increased by 10 percent from the previous dividend, will be payable on November 30, 2020, to shareholders of record as of November 16, 2020.
