NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced its results for the  second quarter 2022.

CEO Commentary

"We are pleased with our solid financial performance in the quarter as a result of continued execution of our strategy and relentless focus on delivering for our customers and dealers," said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr. "We grew sales 9% when adjusting for FX rates and ended the quarter with backlog of $3.5 billion, an increase of 51% year-over-year, emphasizing sustained strong demand from our customers."

"We are proud of our execution this quarter amidst global supply chain disruptions and significant inflationary pressures. As a result of the strong performance in the first half of the year we are raising our full year EPS outlook to $3.80 to $4.20. We remain focused on executing our multi-year growth plan and continue to invest in new technologies and products. We were first in the industry to introduce an all-electric bucket truck, supporting aggressive sustainability goals at electric utilities; we acquired ProAll, expanding our concrete product offering; and, we invested in Acculon Energy, accelerating and further advancing Genie battery technology and electrification offerings. Our industry-leading and innovative new products, steady backlog, recognized brands and strong balance sheet position us well to navigate the near-term macro challenges to deliver long-term value."

Second Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022 increased 4%, compared to net sales of $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to improved price realization across all segments and healthy demand for our products which was partially offset by a 5% negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. 
• Income from operations in the second quarter decreased $18.6 million to $103.9 million, or 9.6% of net sales, compared to $122.5 million, or 11.8% of net sales, in the prior year. Increased pricing did not offset rising costs and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates from the prior year. However, price / cost dynamics have improved sequentially from the first quarter.
• Income from continuing operations of $74.1 million, or $1.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2022, grew 2.5% compared to income from continuing operations of $72.3 million, or $1.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2021.
• Return on invested capital was a solid 17.3% as we continue to invest in the business and return cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Business Segment Review

Materials Processing

• Net sales were $480.7 million for the second quarter, up 9.1% or $39.9 million over the prior year, primarily due to price realization and robust end-market demand for aggregates and material handlers in all major geographies. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $30 million, net sales increased 15.9%.
• Income from operations increased $7.4 million to $79.5 million, or 16.5% of net sales, compared to $72.1 million, or 16.4% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase was due to price realization, higher sales volume and strong expense management partially offset by cost increases, significant inflationary pressures and the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.
• Operating margins were up sequentially from Q1 2022 by 230 basis points.

Aerial Work Platforms

• Net sales were $597.7 million for the second quarter, up 0.4% or $2.5 million over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $21 million, net sales increased 4.0%. The increase was primarily due to price realization and higher demand in all major geographies except for China.
• Income from operations decreased $19.0 million to $46.2 million, or 7.7% of net sales, compared to $65.2 million, or 11.0% of net sales in the prior year. Price realization partially offset increased costs as well as the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.
• Operating margins were up sequentially from Q1 2022 by 180 basis points. This sequential improvement was the result of strong execution on strict expense management and disciplined pricing actions.

Disciplined Capital Allocation

• As of June 30, 2022, the Company had ample liquidity of $678.3 million.
• Working capital of $893.8 million was 20.7% of trailing three month annualized net sales and reflects higher inventory levels from supply chain disruptions.
• For the year-to-date period, Terex deployed $55.1 million for capital expenditures and growth investments and $23.0 million for debt retirement.
• Terex executed $78.5 million in share repurchases and paid $18.0 million in dividends year-to-date.

CFO Commentary

Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "Our strong balance sheet has allowed us to return approximately $100 million of cash to shareholders year-to-date. The team continues to execute on the strategy of disciplined pricing and expense management to deliver sequential quarterly margin improvement."

GLOSSARY

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, Terex refers to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors.  These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies.  In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.  Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses.  Management of Terex uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets.

The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in millions of U.S. dollars (except share data and percentages), and are as of or for the period ended June 30, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.

2022 Outlook

The Company's 2022 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, and other unusual items. The Company is not able to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and impact of such items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's full-year 2022 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's EPS expectations excluding unusual items that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operations.

Free Cash Flow 

The Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow.  The Company defines free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets.  The Company believes that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations. The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):
