NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced its results for the third quarter 2022.

CEO Commentary
"We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the quarter as a result of continued progress on our strategy and the relentless focus of our team members to deliver our products and solutions to customers and dealers," said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr. "We grew sales 21% when adjusting for FX rates and ended the quarter with total backlog of $3.9 billion, an increase of 33% year-over-year and a clear indication of the strength of demand from our customers."

"We remain focused on executing our multi-year growth plan and continue to invest in new technologies and products across our businesses. In our Materials Processing segment we expanded the capabilities of our growing environmental business with the recent acquisition of ZenRobotics, allowing us to deploy robot technologies that pick, sort and recycle waste material. In addition, our Genie team continued to execute their product electrification plans with the introduction of a new lithium-ion battery option for the line of GS E-Drive slab scissor lifts. We are proud of our execution this quarter despite continued global supply chain disruptions, significant inflationary pressures and foreign exchange rate volatility. Following the strong performance in the third quarter, we are raising our full year EPS outlook to a range of $4.00 to $4.20. Our globally recognized brands, industry-leading and innovative new products, backlog, and strong balance sheet position us well to successfully navigate the near-term macro challenges and deliver long-term value."

Third Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022 increased 12.7%, compared to $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to improved price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs across all segments and healthy demand for our products which was partially offset by a 7.9% negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. 
• Income from operations of $120.8 million, or 10.8% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022, improved from $74.2 million, or 7.5% of net sales, in the prior year. The year-over-year increase of $46.6 million was driven by price realization, favorable mix and incremental margin achieved on higher sales volume, which more than offset cost increases and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates during the quarter. Price / cost dynamics improved sequentially, increasing operating margins by 120 bps from the second quarter of 2022.
• Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $81.8 million, or $1.20 per share, up 79.1% compared to $47.5 million, or $0.67 per share, in the third quarter of 2021.
• Return on invested capital of 19.0% significantly exceeded our cost of capital as we continued to invest in the business and return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Business Segment Review

Materials Processing

• Net sales were $457.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 9.4% or $39.2 million year-over-year, primarily due to price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs and healthy demand for our products across multiple businesses. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $43 million, net sales increased 19.6% year-over-year.
• Income from operations increased to $66.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, or 14.6% of net sales, compared to $57.1 million, or 13.6% of net sales, in the prior year. The $9.7 million increase was driven by price realization, favorable mix and incremental margin on higher sales volume and partially offset by significant inflationary pressures and the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.

Aerial Work Platforms

• Net sales were $662.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 15.7% or $90.1 million year-over-year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $35 million, net sales increased 21.9% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs and higher demand driven by fleet replacement and end-market growth for aerial work platforms.  Utility product growth was strong in North America.
• Income from operations increased to $63.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, or 9.6% of net sales, compared to $34.9 million, or 6.1% of net sales in the prior year. The $28.6 million increase was driven by price realization, favorable mix and incremental margin on higher sales volume and was partially offset by increased costs, as well as the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.
• Income from operations increased 81.9% year-over-year and margins were up sequentially from the second quarter of 2022 by 190 basis points. This sequential improvement was the result of strong execution on strict cost management and pricing actions to mitigate inflationary cost pressures.

Disciplined Capital Allocation

• As of September 30, 2022, the Company had liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) of $658.0 million.
• Working capital of $895.7 million was 20.0% of trailing three month annualized net sales and reflects higher inventory levels as a result of supply chain disruptions.
• For the year-to-date period, Terex deployed $128.9 million for capital expenditures and growth investments.
• Year-to-date, Terex has executed $92.0 million in share repurchases and paid $26.8 million in dividends.

CFO Commentary
Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "We are proud that our strong balance sheet has allowed us to return approximately $120 million of cash to shareholders year-to-date. Our teams continue to execute on our multi-year growth plan, driving sales and expanding margins through disciplined pricing and expense management.  As a result, we are raising our full year sales, margin and EPS guidance ranges."

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, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.

2022 Outlook
The Company's 2022 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the impact of 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 2022 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):

		Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$                                  84.9		$                                104.2
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets		(31.7)		(78.6)
Free cash flow (use)		$                                  53.2		$                                 25.6

Working Capital
Working Capital is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories, less Trade accounts payable and Customer advances.  The Company views excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources, and seeks to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business. For the periods below, working capital was:

	September 30, 2022
Inventories	$981.2
Trade Receivables	531.1
Less: Trade Accounts Payables	(589.4)
Less: Customer Advances	(27.2)
Total Working Capital	$895.7

Trailing Three Months Annualized Net Sales is calculated using the net sales for the quarter multiplied by four.

3 months Sales		$1,120.5
Number of quarters	x	4.0
Annualized Quarterly Sales		$4,482.0
WC % of Annualized Quarterly Sales		20.0 %

The ratio is calculated by dividing working capital by trailing three months annualized net sales. The Company believes this measures its resource use efficiency.

Performance Measures Definitions
We use the following operational metrics in monitoring the performance of our business. We believe the operational metrics are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments.

Backlog and Total Backlog
We define backlog as firm orders that are expected to be filled within one year and total backlog as firm orders that are expected to be filled, including orders that are expected to be filled beyond one year. Although there can be no assurance that all such backlog and total backlog orders will be filled within that time. Our backlog orders and total backlog orders represent primarily new equipment orders. Parts orders are generally filled on an as ordered basis.

Our management views backlog and total backlog as one of many indicators of the performance of our business. Because many variables can cause changes in backlog and total backlog and these changes may or may not be of any significance, we consequently view backlog and total backlog as an important, but not necessarily determinative, indicator of future results.

	Q3 2021				Q3 2022				% Change
	< 12 Months	> 12 Months	Total Backlog		< 12 Months	> 12 Months	Total Backlog		< 12 Months	> 12 Months	Total Backlog
MP	$1,020	$42	$1,062		$980	$233	$1,213		(4 %)	455 %	14 %
AWP	$1,705	$190	$1,895		$2,276	$444	$2,720		33 %	134 %	44 %
Total	$2,725	$232	$2,957		$3,256	$677	$3,933		19 %	192 %	33 %
