Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Terex Corporation reported strong top-line growth but a GAAP loss for Q1 2026. Net sales rose to $1.73 billion, up 41% year over year, or 11% on a pro forma basis, helped by the integration of the REV Group business, now the Specialty Vehicles segment.
The company recorded a loss from continuing operations of ($93) million due to significant non-cash and merger-related charges. On an adjusted basis, income from continuing operations was $94 million, with adjusted EPS of $0.98 versus $0.83 a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA of $173 million at a 9.9% margin.
Backlog increased to $7.1 billion with a 109% book-to-bill ratio, and Terex reaffirmed its 2026 outlook. Management continues to target 2026 sales of $7.5–$8.1 billion, EBITDA of $930 million–$1 billion and EPS of $4.50–$5.00, supported by expected synergies of about $28 million in 2026 from the REV integration.
Positive
- Strong growth and outlook reaffirmed: Q1 2026 net sales rose 41% reported (11% pro forma) to $1.73 billion, adjusted EPS increased to $0.98 from $0.83, backlog reached $7.1 billion with 109% book-to-bill, and Terex reaffirmed its 2026 guidance for $7.5–$8.1 billion sales and $930M–$1B EBITDA.
Negative
- GAAP loss and margin pressure: Despite higher revenue, Terex posted a $93 million loss from continuing operations and EBITDA of ($7) million, with Aerials margins near breakeven, reflecting merger-related charges, tariffs and unfavorable mix.
Insights
Terex delivered strong growth and reaffirmed 2026 targets despite merger charges.
Terex grew Q1 2026 net sales to $1.73 billion, up 41% reported and 11% pro forma, driven by all segments and the addition of Specialty Vehicles. Adjusted EBITDA reached $173 million at a 9.9% margin, with adjusted EPS of $0.98 versus $0.83 in Q1 2025.
Reported results were weighed down by non-cash and merger-related items, producing a ($93) million loss from continuing operations and EBITDA of ($7) million. Tariffs and weaker mix in Aerials also compressed margins there to roughly breakeven, while Environmental Solutions and Materials Processing maintained double‑digit adjusted EBITDA margins.
A $7.1 billion backlog and 109% book‑to‑bill support the reiterated 2026 outlook for $7.5–$8.1 billion of sales and $930 million–$1 billion of EBITDA. Delivery of about $28 million of 2026 synergies and the ramp of Specialty Vehicles, alongside tariff and mix dynamics, will be central to whether the company achieves its targeted 12.4% EBITDA margin midpoint for 2026.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA7 of $173 million or 9.9% margin"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
pro forma financial
"Proforma net sales grew by 11% year over year including growth in every segment."
Pro forma refers to financial information that is prepared based on estimates or adjustments to show what a company's results might look like under certain scenarios, such as new projects or acquisitions. It helps investors understand the potential impact of future events by providing a clear, hypothetical view of financial performance, much like a weather forecast shows possible future conditions.
book-to-bill financial
"Backlog grew to $7.1 billion, Book-to-bill of 109%, providing strong forward visibility"
The book-to-bill ratio compares new orders a company has received (bookings) to the products or services it has invoiced or shipped (billings) over the same period. It matters to investors because a ratio above 1 means demand is outpacing fulfillment and the company may grow revenue or build backlog, while a ratio below 1 suggests slowing demand and possible future revenue weakness — think of it as new customer orders versus what the company actually sold.
free cash flow conversion financial
"FCF Conversion 15 | | 80% - 90%"
Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.
purchase price accounting financial
"Depreciation & Amortization of ~$110 million excluding amortization pertaining to purchase price accounting"
When one company buys another, purchase price accounting is the way the buyer re-records the acquired business’s assets and debts at current fair values and records any extra amount paid as goodwill. Think of it like buying a house with furniture: you reset the values of the house and contents on the buyer’s books and note any premium paid. This matters to investors because it changes reported assets, expenses and profits, which affect valuation, comparisons and future earnings expectations.
232 tariffs financial
"includes the impact of the recent change in 232 tariffs which is expected to be negligible"
232 tariffs are import duties imposed under a U.S. trade law that lets the government raise taxes on certain foreign goods if those imports are deemed a threat to national security. For investors, these duties act like a sudden extra charge on specific materials or products—raising costs for companies that rely on those imports, changing competitive advantages, and creating uncertainty in supply chains and profit margins.

Norwalk, CT, May 1, 2026 -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX), a global leader in specialized equipment, serving essential sectors such as emergency services, waste and recycling, utilities, and construction, today announced its results for the first quarter 2026.
CEO Commentary
“We are off to a good start and executing to plan, including the first 58 days with REV Group in our portfolio, now operating as our Specialty Vehicles (SV) segment, which made a meaningful contribution in the quarter. Our quarter-end backlog of $7.1 billion, supported by strong booking trends in Materials Processing, Aerials, and Terex Utilities, provides solid forward visibility. As a result, we are reiterating our full-year outlook,” said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to execute our strategy, including the integration of REV. We remain on track to deliver approximately $28 million of synergies in 2026 through the elimination of duplicate overhead and to achieve the full $75 million run-rate within our 24 month target."
First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
•Backlog increased sequentially to $7.1 billion. Bookings of $2.1 billion were down 1.1% year over year on a pro forma basis driven by timing of orders in ES and SV and reflects a book-to-bill of 109%. Proforma bookings up 14% on a rolling six month basis.
•Net sales of $1.7 billion were 41.1% higher than the first quarter of 2025. Proforma net sales grew by 11% year over year including growth in every segment.
•EBITDA was ($7) million, or (0.4%) of net sales, compared to $106 million, or 8.7% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted1 EBITDA was $173 million, or 9.9% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $128 million, or 10.4% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the accretive addition of Specialty Vehicles, higher sales volumes in MP and operational improvement initiatives, partially offset by tariffs, which were not in effect in the prior year period, and unfavorable mix within Aerials, and product mix in ES.
•Income from continuing operations was ($93) million, or ($0.97) per share, compared to $21 million, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted1 income from continuing operations was $94 million, or $0.98 per share for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $55 million, or $0.83 per share, in the first quarter of 2025.

Business Segment Review
Environmental Solutions
•Net sales of $412 million were up 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong throughput and delivery of utilities products, partially offset by lower shipments of refuse collection vehicles.
•EBITDA was $73 million, or 17.7% of net sales, compared to $80 million, or 20.1% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted1 EBITDA was $74 million or 18.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $81 million, or 20.3% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to unfavorable product mix, partially offset by higher sales volume and synergy realization.
Materials Processing
•Net sales of $419 million were up 9.7% or $37 million year over year, primarily due to higher shipment volumes across most product lines and geographies and positive effects of foreign exchange rates. On a pro forma13 basis, net sales were up 18.3% year over year, driven by growth in Aggregates, Material Handling and Recycling, partially offset by lower sales in Concrete.
•EBITDA was $68 million, or 16.2% of net sales, compared to $41 million, or 10.8% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted1 EBITDA was $63 million, or 15.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $43 million, or 11.2% of net sales in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume, price realization and efficiency improvement.
Specialty Vehicles
•Net sales of $436 million were up 20% year over year on a pro forma13 basis, driven by growth in all product lines, partially due to weather-related delivery timing.
•EBITDA was ($53) million, or (12.2%) of net sales due to merger-related non-recurring items more than offsetting operational improvements. Adjusted1 EBITDA was $62 million, or 14.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $46 million, or 12.6% of net sales on a pro forma13 basis in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to increased throughput, price realization and improved operational efficiency.
Aerials
•Net sales of $469 million were up 4.2% or $19 million year over year, primarily due to positive effects of foreign exchange rates.
•EBITDA and Adjusted1 EBITDA were breakeven, or 0.1% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to EBITDA of $8 million, or 1.8% of net sales, and Adjusted1 EBITDA of $20 million, or 4.4% of net sales in the prior year. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to tariffs, which the business did not incur this time last year. In addition, the business also faced some temporary unfavorable mix and timing of price realization.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
•Free cash outflow7 of $57 million, similar to the prior year period.
•As of March 31, 2026, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.0 billion.
•During the first quarter of 2026, Terex deployed $26 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
•Through March 31, 2026, Terex returned $19 million to shareholders through dividends and has approximately $183 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.

CFO Commentary
"Our overall first quarter operational financial results were consistent with our expectations. Adjusted EPS for the quarter of $0.98 which included approximately $0.10 of tax favorability when the Q1 rate is compared to our 2026 full year expected tax rate of 21%. Our operational EPS improvement was $0.05 compared to last year. Notably our current Q1 EPS is based on 96.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, up from 66.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2025,” commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "I was also pleased with our net working capital efficiency improvement in the quarter which decreased to 16.7%, down 930 basis points compared with the prior year largely due to the addition of Specialty Vehicles. Looking ahead, we are confirming our full year outlook, which includes the impact of the recent change in 232 tariffs which is expected to be negligible as the vast majority of our US sales are manufactured in the US."

2026 Outlook
With Q1 operational performance in line with our expectations, $7.1 billion in backlog, and end markets trending as anticipated, we are reiterating our full year outlook. We expect 2026 sales to grow ~5% on a pro forma14 basis to $7.5 to $8.1 billion. We expect EBITDA to grow by ~$100 million or ~12% year over year on a pro forma14 basis to between $930 million and $1 billion, or 12.4% EBITDA margin at the mid-point. The EPS outlook of $4.50 - $5.00 includes the following assumptions/commentary:
•11 months impact of the new Specialty Vehicle segment (former REV)
•~$28 million of realized synergies for 2026, on-target to achieving a $75 million annual run-rate within 2 years
•Excludes the divested MP cranes and Midwest RV business results
•Current tariff rates to stay as-is, including the recently announced changes to 232 tariffs
•Interest of ~$190 million, consistent with pro-forma 2025
•Full year effective tax rate of ~21%
•Full year average shares outstanding of 111 million for 2026, including ~115 million in Q2 to Q4

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Items
Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. A comprehensive review of the quarterly financial performance is contained in the presentation that will accompany the Company’s earnings conference call.
In this press release, Terex refers to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional analytical tools which are useful in evaluating our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying businesses because they (i) provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding impact of one-time items and other items affecting comparability between periods, (ii) permit investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our core operating performance across periods, and (iii) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our financial results. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details about this subject.
Conference call
The Company has scheduled a conference call to review the financial results on Friday, May 1, 2026 beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET. Simon A. Meester, President and CEO, and Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will host the call. A simultaneous webcast of this call can be accessed at https://investors.terex.com. Participants are encouraged to access the call 15 minutes prior to the starting time. The call will also be archived in the Event Archive at https://investors.terex.com.
1 Non-GAAP financial measures included within this press release are referred to as “Adjusted” or “non-GAAP.” Refer to the glossary for definitions and/or reconciliations.
2 Full year share count ~111 million; Q2-Q4 share count ~115 million
3 Legacy sales expected to increase by 4% vs. 2025 excluding the tower and rough terrain cranes divestiture.
4 Outlook assumes that tariffs broadly remain at current rates.
5 Includes REV businesses for the period February 2 - December 31.
6 Excludes the impact of future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and other unusual items.
7 Free cash flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.
8 2025 comparable MP revenue excludes Cranes divestiture.
9 2025 comparable SV revenue shown on a pro forma basis reflecting February 2 - December 31 2025, excludes Lance & Midwest RV businesses
10 Interest / Other Expense ~$190 million
11 Tax rate ~21%
12 Depreciation & Amortization of ~$110 million excluding amortization pertaining to purchase price accounting
13 Pro forma information presents past performance as if certain events, such as mergers, acquisitions or divestitures, had occurred at an earlier date to illustrate comparable performance.
14 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. See "Glossary _ Non-GAAP Measures Definition - 2026 Outlook" below for additional information.

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, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.
2026 Outlook
The Company's 2026 outlook for segment operating margin, earnings per share, EBITDA, free cash flow, 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 2026 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's 2026 Outlook 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 that is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets. The Company believes this measure provides 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):

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