Insights

Financial Analyst

Terex 's Q2 2024 results demonstrate resilience in a challenging market environment. Sales remained steady at $1.4 billion, while income from operations increased 22% sequentially to $193 million. The company's operating profit margin improved by 180 basis points sequentially to 14.0%, indicating effective cost management and operational efficiency.

The Aerial Work Platforms segment showed strength, with sales up 6.9% year-over-year, driven by robust demand in North America. However, the Materials Processing segment faced headwinds, with sales declining 14% due to lower end-market demand and dealer inventory rebalancing.

Terex's financial position remains solid, with a strong liquidity position of $879 million and a low net leverage ratio of 0.5x. The company's commitment to shareholder returns is evident, with $50 million returned through share repurchases and dividends year-to-date.

The updated full-year 2024 outlook, with adjusted EPS guidance of $7.15 to $7.45, reflects confidence in the company's ability to navigate market challenges. The planned acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) could provide a non-cyclical revenue stream and potential synergies in the growing waste and recycling market.

Investors should monitor the integration of ESG and its impact on Terex's financial performance, as well as the company's ability to maintain its strong margins in the face of ongoing market uncertainties.

Market Research Analyst

Terex's Q2 results offer valuable insights into broader market trends. The divergence between North American and European markets is particularly noteworthy. Strong demand for Genie products in North America contrasts with lower end-market demand in Europe, especially affecting the materials processing business.

This regional disparity highlights the importance of geographic diversification for equipment manufacturers. Companies with a balanced global presence may be better positioned to weather localized market fluctuations.

The planned acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) is a strategic move that could reshape Terex's market position. By entering the waste and recycling end market, Terex is tapping into a growing sector driven by increasing environmental concerns and regulations. This move could provide a more stable revenue stream, potentially offsetting cyclicality in other segments.

The inventory rebalancing at dealers in the Materials Processing segment suggests a cautious approach in the distribution channel. This could indicate uncertainty about future demand or a shift in inventory management strategies across the industry.

Investors should keep an eye on how these market dynamics evolve, particularly the balance between North American and European demand, the growth trajectory of the waste and recycling sector and any shifts in dealer inventory strategies that could impact future orders.

Industrial Engineering Expert

From an operational perspective, Terex's Q2 performance reveals both strengths and challenges in their manufacturing and supply chain strategies. The 180 basis point sequential improvement in operating profit margin to 14.0% is impressive, suggesting effective cost control and operational efficiency gains.

However, the mention of Monterrey start-up inefficiencies in the Aerial Work Platforms segment is a point of concern. New facility ramp-ups often face challenges, but these inefficiencies are impacting profitability. Management should focus on quickly resolving these issues to fully capitalize on the strong North American demand for aerial work platforms and telehandlers.

The Materials Processing segment's performance (15.4% operating margin despite a 14% sales decline) demonstrates robust cost management. However, the significant sales drop suggests potential overcapacity that may need addressing if market conditions don't improve.

The planned ESG acquisition presents interesting operational challenges and opportunities. Integrating a new business, especially one in a different sector, will require careful planning and execution. However, if successful, it could provide valuable diversification and potential for operational synergies.

Terex's ability to maintain strong margins and a high return on invested capital (25.9%) in a challenging environment is commendable. This suggests a well-optimized production system and effective capital allocation. Continued focus on these areas will be important for long-term success, especially as the company navigates market uncertainties and integrates new acquisitions.

• Sales of $1.4 billion, consistent with prior year
• Income from operations of $193 million, up 22% sequentially
• Operating profit margin of 14.0%, improved 180 bps sequentially
• Earnings per share of $2.08, Adjusted EPS of $2.16

NORWALK, Conn., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX), a global manufacturer of materials processing machinery and aerial work platforms, today announced its results for the second quarter 2024.

CEO Commentary

"The Terex team continues to perform at a high level and demonstrated strong execution in the second quarter," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "The recently announced agreement to purchase Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") strengthens our portfolio and leverages our operating system to drive sustainable, accelerated long-term growth. ESG will add a non-cyclical, financially accretive, and market-leading business to Terex's portfolio with tangible synergies in the fast-growing waste and recycling end market. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024."

Second Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $1.4 billion were consistent with the second quarter of 2023. Continued strong demand for Genie products in North America was offset by lower end-market demand in Europe, primarily impacting our materials processing business.
• Income from operations was $193.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, compared to $209.9 million, or 15.0% of net sales, during the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to unfavorable mix as well as a prior year facility sale gain.
• Income from continuing operations was $140.7 million, or $2.08 per share, compared to $159.8 million, or $2.35 per share, in the second quarter of 2023. Income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2024 included a net unfavorable impact of $4.6 million of one-time items primarily related to accelerated stock vesting / severance expense, deal related costs, and mark-to-market losses recorded on equity investments. Excluding these items, EPS was $2.16.
• Return on invested capital of 25.9% continues to significantly exceed our cost of capital.

Business Segment Review

Materials Processing

• Net sales of $498.6 million were down 14%, or $78.8 million, year-over-year, primarily driven by lower end-market demand across certain product lines and geographies as well as inventory rebalancing at our dealers.
• Income from operations was $77.0 million, or 15.4% of net sales, compared to $98.2 million, or 17.0% of net sales, in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by cost discipline.

Aerial Work Platforms

• Net sales of $881.8 million were up 6.9%, or $56.9 million, year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by healthy demand for aerial work platforms and telehandlers in North America.
• Income from operations of $133.8 million, or 15.2% of net sales, was comparable to $133.6 million, or 16.2% of net sales, in the prior year as incremental profit achieved on higher sales volume was offset by Monterrey start-up inefficiencies and a prior year facility sale gain.

Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity

• As of June 30, 2024, the Company had liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) of $879 million and net leverage of 0.5x.
• Terex deployed $24 million for capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2024 to support business growth.
• Through July 29, 2024, Terex has returned $50 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

CFO Commentary

Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "We are proud of our financial results with operating margins of 14%. We expect our full-year adjusted EPS outlook to be in the range of $7.15 to $7.45, with a second year of adjusted EPS over $7.00 per share. Our strong balance sheet and expected free cash flow generation of $325 - $375 million continues to provide significant capacity to fuel our strategic growth initiatives, including the ESG acquisition, as well as return capital to shareholders."

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 June 30, 2024, unless otherwise indicated.

2024 Outlook

The Company's 2024 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the impact of the ESG acquisition, 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 2024 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, 2024  Outlook
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities				$                                495.0
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets				(145.0)
Free cash flow (use)				$                                350.0

Note: 2024 Outlook free cash flow represents the mid-point of the range

Net Leverage

The Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of net leverage.  The Company defines net leverage as Net Debt divided by last twelve months (LTM) EBITDA .  The Company believes that this measure reflects its ability to cover its net debt obligations with results from core operations.  Amounts described below are reported in millions, except net leverage.

	June 30, 2024
Net Debt	$                               346.3
Divided by: LTM EBITDA	689.7
Net Leverage	0.5x

Debt & Net Debt

Debt is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion plus debt from liabilities held for sale.  Net Debt is calculated as Debt less Cash and cash equivalents, including amounts in assets held for sale.  These measures aid in the evaluation of the Company's financial condition.

			June 30, 2024
Long-term debt, less current portion			$                             662.2
Current portion of long-term debt			3.4
Debt			665.6
Less: Cash and cash equivalents			(319.3)
Net Debt			$                             346.3

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.

The Company believes that disclosure of 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.

			LTM Ended June 30, 2024
Net income (loss)			$                            495.3
(Gain) loss on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax			1.0
Income (loss) from continuing operations			496.3
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes			69.0
Interest & Other (Income) Expense			65.0
Income (loss) from operations			630.3
Depreciation			57.0
Amortization			4.4
Non-Cash Interest Costs			(2.0)
EBITDA			$                            689.7

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 Income (loss) from operations 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 the annualized effective tax rate to reflect management's expectation of the full-year effective tax rate and amortize the one-time tax benefit derived from recording of a deferred tax asset in relation to our Swiss operations in 2023 to create a measure that is more useful to understanding our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying business 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 June 30, 2024 was 25.9%.
