Terex Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) reported Q1 2025 results with sales of $1.2 billion, down 4.9% year-over-year. The company achieved an operating margin of 5.6% (9.1% adjusted) and EPS of $0.31 ($0.83 adjusted). The newly acquired Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) business performed strongly, contributing about one-third of quarterly revenue. Bookings increased 5.3% sequentially to $1.5 billion with a book-to-bill ratio of 124%. While organic revenue declined 25% year-over-year due to channel adjustments, the company maintained its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS outlook of $4.70-$5.10. Terex's U.S.-centric operations, producing approximately 75% of U.S. equipment sales domestically, help limit exposure to international trade challenges. The company returned $43 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in Q1.

Insights

Financial Analyst

Terex shows mixed Q1 with legacy segments down but ESG acquisition cushioning impact; maintaining full-year guidance suggests expected recovery.

Terex Corporation's Q1 2025 results present a mixed financial picture with significant variances across business segments. Sales of $1.2 billion declined 4.9% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS of $0.83 substantially below the $1.74 reported in Q1 2024. The company's legacy segments experienced pronounced weakness - Aerials revenue fell 27.8% with adjusted operating margins compressing to just 3.0%, while Materials Processing declined 26.5% with margins of 10.0%.

The recently acquired Environmental Solutions Group emerges as the bright spot, delivering 10.5% growth and an impressive 19.4% adjusted operating margin. This acquisition now represents approximately one-third of Terex's revenue base and provides valuable diversification with what management describes as "very low cyclicality and a strong, resilient margin profile."

Despite significant volume declines, Terex's book-to-bill ratio of 124% (Aerials at 144%) signals improving order momentum that should support sequential production increases. The company maintained $1.1 billion in liquidity while returning $43 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Most significantly, management maintained full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $4.70-$5.10, indicating confidence in sequential improvement through 2025. However, investors should note this outlook "assumes easing of recently announced tariffs" - introducing an element of uncertainty to their forecasts.

Manufacturing Operations Expert

Terex deliberately reduced production levels in Q1, with growing order backlog indicating potential recovery despite current margin pressure.

Terex's Q1 results reflect a deliberate production reset strategy rather than an unplanned decline. Management explicitly notes they planned "to reset production levels in Q4 and Q1 to align supply with demand before returning to sequential growth in Q2" - a proactive approach to prevent inventory buildup during a period of softening demand.

The operational performance varies dramatically across segments. Aerials and Materials Processing experienced substantial volume declines (27.8% and 26.5% respectively), creating significant margin pressure due to reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. Meanwhile, Environmental Solutions demonstrated strong execution with 10.5% growth and robust margins.

The company's forward indicators show promise, with bookings increasing 5.3% sequentially and a book-to-bill ratio of 124%. This suggests incoming orders now exceed current production rates - typically a leading indicator for manufacturing ramp-up in future quarters.

Terex has positioned itself as a predominantly US-based manufacturer, noting they "produce approximately 75% of our 2025 U.S. equipment sales in the United States." This manufacturing footprint provides some insulation against potential tariff impacts while maintaining production flexibility.

The sequential improvement in bookings coupled with management's statement that "sales and margins are expected to improve heading into the second quarter through higher production and continued cost control" indicates the production reset may be reaching its planned conclusion, with operations poised for gradual recovery.

• Sales of $1.2 billion and operating margin of 5.6% and 9.1% as adjusted¹
• EPS of $0.31 and adjusted¹ EPS of $0.83

NORWALK, Conn., May 2, 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 first quarter 2025.

CEO Commentary
"Our overall financial results exceeded our initial outlook for the first quarter due to strong execution in our recently acquired Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") business within our new Environmental Services ("ES") segment which accounted for roughly one-third of our revenue in the quarter.  Materials Processing ("MP") and Aerials performance was consistent with our plan to reset production levels in Q4 and Q1 to align supply with demand before returning to sequential growth in Q2," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, we are closely monitoring the changing geopolitical and macro environment and the potential impacts of tariffs and related factors on our business.  With the addition of ESG, we are a more US-centric company than in the past and expect to produce approximately 75% of our 2025 U.S. equipment sales in the United States, which helps limit our exposure.  We believe we are competitively well positioned to effectively deal with the evolving situation going forward, enabling us to maintain our 2025 EPS outlook."

First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Bookings of $1.5 billion increased 5.3% sequentially and reflects a book-to-bill of 124%, led by Aerials at 144%.
• Net sales of $1.2 billion were 4.9% lower than the first quarter of 2024. Excluding ESG, our organic revenue declined by 25% year over year in line with our expectation driven by continued channel adjustment coupled with timing of our backlog conversion.
• Operating profit was $69 million, or 5.6% of net sales, compared to $158 million, or 12.2% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $111 million, or 9.1% of net sales for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $163 million, or 12.6% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume, production adjustment and unfavorable mix within MP, partially offset by tight cost control coupled with strong performance in ES.
• Net income was $21 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $109 million, or $1.60 per share, in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted¹ net income was $55 million, or $0.83 per share for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $118 million, or $1.74 per share, in the first quarter of 2024.
• Return on invested capital of 15.0% continues to exceed our cost of capital.

Business Segment Review

Aerials

• Net sales of $450 million were down 27.8% or $173 million year-over-year, primarily due to a return to a more customary seasonal delivery pattern and the timing of our customers' expected equipment replacement schedule. Book-to-bill in the quarter was positive at 144%.
• Operating profit of $2 million, or 0.4% of net sales, was down from $92 million, or 14.8% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $14 million, or 3.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $93 million, or 14.9% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable absorption due to lower production volumes.

Materials Processing

• Net sales of $382 million were down 26.5% or $138 million year-over-year in line with expectations, primarily due to lower channel requirements and end-market demand across most product lines and geographies.
• Operating profit was $36 million, or 9.4% of net sales, compared to $72 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $38 million, or 10.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $73 million, or 14.0% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable mix partially offset by cost reduction actions.

Environmental Solutions

• Net sales of $399 million were up 10.5% on a pro forma basis compared to Q1 2024, driven by growth in ESG from strong throughput and delivery of refuse collection vehicles.
• Operating profit was $56 million or 14.0% of net sales. Adjusted¹ operating profit was $77 million or 19.4% of net sales for the first quarter of 2025, a 420 basis point improvement over the pro forma results in Q1 2024², reflecting improvements in both ESG and Terex Utilities.

Strong Liquidity

• As of March 31, 2025, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.1 billion.
• During the first quarter of 2025, Terex deployed $36 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
• During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Terex returned $43 million to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 0.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $41.78 per share leaving approximately $54 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.

CFO Commentary
"Our Q1 results reflect the important addition of ESG to the Terex portfolio. Our ES segment that accounted for about one-third of our Q1 sales is characterized by very low cyclicality and a strong, resilient margin profile. MP and Aerials performed in line with our 2025 plans, as sales and margins are expected to improve heading into the second quarter through higher production and continued cost control," commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We continued to execute our balanced capital allocation strategy in the quarter, returning value to shareholders while continuing to invest for longer-term organic growth.  We are closely following the administration's approach to international trade policy and the responses from countries around the world.  The majority of the products we sell in the United States, we make in the United States which largely limits our exposure.  Moreover, we initiated mitigation actions last year and in the first quarter of 2025 in anticipation of additional tariffs, leveraging our global capabilities to manage the impact.  As a global company with a significant footprint in the United States and around the world, we have optionality and are ready to take additional actions if needed."

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 March 31, 2025, unless otherwise indicated.

2025 Outlook
The Company's 2025 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes 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 2025 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):

				Year Ending December 31, 2025  Outlook
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities				$                                   445
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets				(120)
Free cash flow (use)				$                                   325

EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings, before interest, other non-operating income (loss), income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates this by subtracting the following items from Net income (loss): (Gain) loss on disposition of discontinued operations- net of tax; and (Income) loss from discontinued operations – net of tax. Then adds the Provision for (benefit from) income taxes; Interest & Other (Income) Expense; the Depreciation and Amortization amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows less amortization of debt issuance costs that are recorded in Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus certain SG&A and other income/expenses.

The Company believes that disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will be helpful to those reviewing its performance, as EBITDA provides information on its ability to meet debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and is also an indicator of profitability.

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 March 31, 2025 was 15.0%.
