Terex Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

NORWALK, Conn., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) announced second quarter 2021 income from continuing operations of $72.3 million, or $1.02 per share, on net sales of $1.0 billion. In the second quarter of 2020, the reported loss from continuing operations was ($3.2) million, or ($0.05) per share, on net sales of $690.5 million.

"During the second quarter, our global team members' relentless focus on safety and disciplined execution of our strategy led to robust bookings, revenue growth and margin expansion in both of our business segments. Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) execution resulted in strong operating margins. Materials Processing (MP) had another excellent quarter with outstanding performance across its portfolio of businesses," said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr.

"Given the strong first-half performance and significantly improved end markets, we have raised our full-year 2021 guidance, which takes into consideration current supply chain conditions. We increased our full-year sales outlook to approximately $3.9 billion with an EPS range of $2.85 to $3.05," continued Mr. Garrison.

John Sheehan, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "Aggressive working capital management drove $101 million of free cash flow in the quarter and $141 million of free cash flow year-to-date. Our strong financial results and liquidity enabled us to prepay $83 million of term loans and continue to reduce leverage.  In addition, we will continue to use our liquidity to fund future growth opportunities."

In early July, MP completed a bolt-on acquisition with the purchase of MDS International (MDS), a manufacturer of heavy duty aggregate and recycling trommels, apron feeders and conveyor systems. Kieran Hegarty, President of MP, commented, "The addition of MDS to our portfolio of businesses will bolster our growth and improve our product offerings. MDS is on an excellent growth trajectory, and its products complement our crushing and screening business."

Mr. Garrison continued, "I am pleased that Simon Meester was announced earlier this week as President of Genie reflecting our confidence in Simon to lead the Genie business."

Mr. Garrison concluded, "We are well-positioned as we enter the second-half of 2021, with strong backlog and continued investment in the business, while maintaining cost discipline and generating sustained, positive free cash flow. These actions drive our disciplined capital allocation strategy and positions us to deliver strong shareholder returns."

GLOSSARY

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, 2021, unless otherwise indicated.

2021 Outlook
The Company's 2021 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 2021 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, plus (minus) increases (decreases) in Terex Financial Services finance receivables consisting of sales-type leases and commercial loans ("TFS Assets"), 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):
