Insights

Financial Analyst

Terex's updated 2024 outlook reflects significant market headwinds. The adjusted EPS guidance of $5.80 to $6.20 on revenue of $4.85 to $5.05 billion indicates a challenging environment. The lower sales volume in both AWP and MP segments suggests a broader industry slowdown. However, the acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) is a strategic move to diversify revenue streams and reduce cyclicality. The expected $45 million in Q4 Adjusted EBITDA from ESG could provide a buffer against market volatility. Investors should monitor how effectively Terex manages costs and integrates ESG to navigate these headwinds.

Market Research Analyst

Terex's outlook update reveals important market dynamics. The faster-than-expected channel adjustments indicate a rapid shift in customer behavior, likely driven by macroeconomic uncertainties. This trend could extend beyond Terex, potentially signaling a broader industry slowdown. The AWP segment's issues with fleet configuration suggest changing rental market patterns, while MP's inventory adjustments hint at cautious end-user sentiment. However, Terex's assertion that long-term mega trends remain intact provides some optimism. The ESG acquisition appears well-timed, potentially offsetting cyclical pressures and opening new growth avenues.

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced that it is updating its 2024 outlook. Full-year 2024 adjusted earnings per share, excluding the benefit of the recently announced Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) acquisition, is now expected to be between $5.80 and $6.20 on revenue of $4.85 to $5.05 billion.

"Our channels globally made adjustments faster than we anticipated, resulting in lower than expected sales volume. In AWP, customers reduced planned deliveries to align their fleet configuration with seasonal rental demand. On the MP side, dealers adjusted their inventory levels as end users gauge the macro environment," commented Simon Meester, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Long-term mega trends remain intact but over the near-term we will continue to take action to align our cost structure and production plans accordingly."

Mr. Meester added, "We anticipate closing the ESG acquisition early in Q4, which represents a significant step for Terex. ESG further reduces our cyclicality, is immediately financially accretive, adds meaningful scale and offers operational and commercial synergies with both MP and AWP. We are expecting ESG to generate approximately $45 million of Adjusted EBITDA in Q4, which is consistent with our prior expectations."

Terex will host a conference call to review its third quarter 2024 financial results on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Simon Meester, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will host the call.
