NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX), a global industrial equipment manufacturer of materials processing machinery, waste and recycling solutions, mobile elevating work platforms, and equipment for the electric utility industry, today announced its results for the third quarter 2025.

CEO Commentary
"We continue to deliver solid financial performance. Environmental Solutions ("ES") continued to grow and achieve strong margins in line with our expectations. Materials Processing ("MP") executed in line with our expectations in spite of challenging conditions in some of its markets and Aerials achieved modestly better than expected operating margins," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Our ability to hold our outlook for the entire year, given the turbulent macro environment, market headwinds and changes in tariffs, is a testament to the growing resiliency of the Terex portfolio, and the commitment, dedication and skill of our team."

Third Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Bookings of $1 billion grew 57% year over year on a pro forma basis and reflects a book-to-bill of 72%, consistent with historical seasonal booking patterns.
• Net sales of $1.4 billion were 14.4% higher than the third quarter of 2024. Excluding ESG, our legacy revenue declined by 8.2% year over year in line with our expectation driven by lower demand in Aerials and MP.
• Operating profit was $140 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared to $122 million, or 10.1% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $168 million, or 12.1% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $127 million, or 10.5% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the addition of ESG partially offset by lower operating performance in Aerials and MP.
• Net income was $65 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to $88 million, or $1.31 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. The current quarter included a favorable impact from a discrete item in Aerials of approximately $18 million, or $0.21 per share. Adjusted¹ net income was $100 million, or $1.50 per share for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $98 million, or $1.46 per share, in the third quarter of 2024.
• Return on invested capital of 11.9% continues to exceed our cost of capital.

Business Segment Review

Aerials

• Net sales of $537 million were down 13.2% or $82 million year over year, primary due to lower volume in North America as rental customers deployed less capex, focusing primarily on replacement requirements.
• Operating profit of $45 million, or 8.4% of net sales, was down from $63 million, or 10.2% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $50 million, or 9.2% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $65 million, or 10.5% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, unfavorable mix and tariffs, partially offset by a discrete item of approximately $18 million pertaining to the release of a customs-related contingency and cost reduction actions.

Materials Processing

• Net sales of $417 million were down 6.1% or $27 million year over year in line with expectations, primarily due to lower volume in our North America concrete business.
• Operating profit was $52 million, or 12.5% of net sales, compared to $56 million, or 12.6% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $51 million, or 12.4% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $59 million, or 13.3% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

Environmental Solutions

• Net sales of $435 million were up 13.6% on a pro forma basis compared to Q3 2024, driven by strong throughput and delivery of refuse collection vehicles (RCVs).
• Operating profit was $58 million or 13.3% of net sales. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $79 million or 18.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, a 160 basis point improvement over the pro forma results in Q3 2024², reflecting continued margin improvements in both ESG and Terex Utilities.

Strong Liquidity

• Strong free cash flow generation of $130 million, up from $88 million in the prior year period, representing a cash conversion rate of 200%.
• As of September 30, 2025, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.3 billion.
• During the third quarter of 2025, Terex deployed $24 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
• Through September 30, 2025, Terex has returned $87 million to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $38.74 per share leaving approximately $183 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.

CFO Com mentary
"I was very pleased with our strong cash flow generation in Q3, achieving 200% cash conversion in the quarter and 100% year-to-date, which supported continued execution of our differentiated capital allocation strategy, returning value to shareholders while continuing to invest for longer-term organic growth" commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "Looking ahead, bookings across the company have returned to normal seasonal patterns with year-over-year pro forma growth of 57% and healthy backlog supports our Q4 sales outlook.  We expect higher tariff-related costs in Q4 largely due to the expanded scope of the 232 steel and aluminum tariff that was announced in mid-August.  We now expect the full year net unfavorable impact of tariffs on EPS to be approximately $0.70.  Assuming that tariffs broadly remain at current rates, we continue to maintain our full year EPS outlook of $4.70 to $5.10."

GLOSSARY

Non-GAAP Measures Definitions

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 September 30, 2025, unless otherwise indicated.

2025 Outlook

The Company's 2025 outlook for segment operating margin, earnings per share, EBITDA and free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, tariffs, trade policies and other unusual items. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their 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 2025 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's 2025 Outlook excluding unusual items that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operations.

Free Cash Flow

The Company calculates non-GAAP measures of free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.  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 and free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by GAAP net income.  The Company believes that these measures provide management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations and the efficiency with which the Company converts earnings into cash.  The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions) and free cash flow conversion:

ROIC
ROIC and other Non-GAAP Measures (as calculated below) assist in showing how effectively we utilize capital invested in our operations.  ROIC is determined by dividing the sum of NOPAT for each of the previous four quarters by the average of Debt less Cash and cash equivalents plus Stockholders' equity for the previous five quarters.  NOPAT for each quarter is calculated by multiplying Operating profit by one minus the annualized effective tax rate as adjusted.  Debt is calculated using amounts for Current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion.  We calculate ROIC using the last four quarters' NOPAT as this represents the most recent 12-month period at any given point of determination.  In order for the denominator of the ROIC ratio to properly match the operational period reflected in the numerator, we include the average of five quarters' ending balance sheet amounts so that the denominator includes the average of the opening through ending balances (on a quarterly basis) thereby providing, over the same time period as the numerator, four quarters of average invested capital.

In the calculation of ROIC, we adjust operating profit, effective tax rate, and stockholders' equity to remove the effects of the impact of certain transactions in order to create a measure that is more useful to understanding our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying business excluding the impact of unusual items as shown in the tables below.  Our management and Board of Directors use ROIC as one measure to assess operational performance, including in connection with certain compensation programs.  We use ROIC as a metric because we believe it measures how effectively we invest our capital and provides a better measure to compare ourselves to peer companies to assist in assessing how we drive operational improvement.  We believe ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in our businesses and is an accurate and descriptive measure of our performance.  We also believe adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Stockholders' equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested. As the tables below show, our ROIC at September 30, 2025 was 11.9%.

Amounts described below are reported in millions, except for the annualized effective tax rate as adjusted. Amounts are as of and for the three months ended for the periods referenced in the tables below.
