NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 30, 2024 /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 third quarter 2024.
CEO Commentary"The Terex team adapted quickly to in-quarter industry channel adjustments and executed at a high level throughout the third quarter," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "In early October, we completed the acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") strengthening our portfolio and leveraging our operating system to drive sustainable, accelerated long-term growth. ESG adds 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."
Third Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
Net sales of $1.2 billion were 6% lower than the third quarter of 2023, resulting from declines in Material Processing ("MP"), partially offset by modest growth in Aerial Work Platforms ("AWP").
Income from operations was $122 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared to $163 million, or 12.6% of net sales, during the prior year2. Adjusted1 income from operations was $127 million, or 10.5% of net sales for the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year change was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable geographic and product mix.
Income from continuing operations was $88 million, or $1.31 per share, compared to $119 million, or $1.75 per share, in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted1 income from continuing operations was $98 million, or $1.46 per share for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $117 million, or $1.72 per share, in the third quarter of 2023.
Return on invested capital of 23.7% continues to significantly exceed our cost of capital.
Business Segment Review
Materials Processing
Net sales of $444 million were down $97 million year-over-year, resulting from channel adjustments and lower end-market demand in certain areas.
Income from operations was $56 million, or 12.6% of net sales, compared to $92 million, or 17.0% of net sales, in the prior year2. Adjusted1 income from operations was $59 million, or 13.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2024. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable product and geographic mix. The team continues to execute cost reduction actions and align production plans with market requirements.
Aerial Work Platforms
Net sales of $769 million were up 2.4% year-over-year or $18 million. During the third quarter, customers adjusted delivery schedules to align with fleet productivity and shorter equipment lead times.
Income from operations of $83 million, or 10.8% of net sales, was down from $93 million, or 12.4% of net sales, in the prior year2. Adjusted1 income from operations was $85 million, or 11.1% of net sales for the third quarter of 2024. The change resulted from unfavorable product mix and higher freight costs. The team continues to execute cost reduction actions and align production plans with market requirements.
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) of $952 million and net leverage of 0.4x.
Terex deployed $29 million for capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2024 to support business growth and operational improvements.
Through September 30, 2024, Terex has returned $66 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
On October 8, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of ESG, which was funded with a combination of 6.25% Senior Notes, term loan borrowings, and cash on hand. The Company expects net leverage to be approximately 2.5x for the year ended December 31, 2024.
CFO Commentary"Our Q3 results reflect lower than expected volume in the quarter. We continue to take action to reduce costs and align production with demand," commented Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "I am very pleased that our future financial results will enjoy the accretive addition of ESG, reducing our cyclicality going forward. I am also pleased with the results of our ESG acquisition-related funding actions. We maintain a strong and agile balance sheet that will continue to enable us to fund strategic growth initiatives, and return capital to shareholders."

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.
