Operating profit margin of 12.0% improved 460bps year-over-year

NORWALK, Conn., May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX) today announced its results for the first quarter 2023.

CEO Commentary

"We entered 2023 with significant momentum as we continued to successfully execute against our growth strategy amidst elevated macroeconomic volatility and lingering supply chain constraints," said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr. "I would like to thank our team members for their dedication to our Zero Harm safety culture and their efforts in serving our customers and dealers. We delivered strong first quarter results, with sales growing 23%, operating margin expansion of 460bps, and EPS more than doubling over the prior year. We are raising our full-year EPS outlook as a result of this impressive performance, strong demand for our products and a healthy backlog of $4.1 billion."

"We also continued to invest in new technologies and products across our business, and are proud of our recent innovations that support sustainability and help reduce GHG emissions with electric and hybrid options for our customers. During the quarter we showcased our expanded portfolio of products and solutions at various trade shows, highlighting how we help our customers operate their equipment safely and profitably, while also supporting their sustainability goals and lowering their total cost of ownership."

First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

Net sales of $1.2 billion increased 23.3%, up from $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher volumes and demand for our products and improved price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs across all segments, which was partially offset by a $42 million negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Income from operations of $147.7 million, or 12.0% of net sales improved from $74.5 million, or 7.4% of net sales the prior year. The year-over-year increase of $73.2 million was driven by incremental margin achieved on higher sales volume, price realization and favorable product mix, which was partially offset by cost increases and the negative impact of foreign exchange.
Income from continuing operations was $109.9 million, or $1.60 per share, compared to $52.3 million, or $0.74 per share, in the first quarter of 2022. EPS was up 116.2% year-over-year.

Business Segment Review

Materials Processing

Net sales of $553.8 million were up 22.3% or $101.1 million year-over-year, primarily due to strong demand for our products across multiple businesses and price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $27 million, net sales increased 28.4% year-over-year.
Income from operations increased to $85.3 million or 15.4% of net sales, compared to $64.5 million, or 14.2% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase was driven by incremental margin achieved on higher sales volumes and favorable product mix, which was partially offset by cost increases and the negative impact of foreign exchange.

Aerial Work Platforms

Net sales of $685.9 million were up 24.4% or $134.4 million year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to higher demand driven by fleet replacement, end-market growth and price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $15 million, net sales increased 27.1% year-over-year.
Income from operations increased to $83.1 million or 12.1% of net sales, compared to $32.5 million, or 5.9% of net sales in the prior year. The increase was driven by incremental margin on higher sales volume, cost reductions, favorable manufacturing efficiencies and mix, price realization to mitigate inflation and was partially offset by negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.

Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) of $677.2 million and net leverage of 1.0x.
Terex deployed approximately $30 million for capital expenditures and investments during the first quarter of 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Terex paid $10.2 million in dividends, a 15% increase and executed $3.2 million in share repurchases. In addition, the company repurchased $14.3 million shares in April.

CFO Commentary

Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "The Company has a strong balance sheet with low leverage and ample liquidity to support its growth initiatives. We are pleased with our improving sales and margin expansion trajectory, driven by strong demand and supported by our pricing actions and disciplined expense management. As a result, we are raising our full year sales, margin, EPS and free cash flow outlook 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 March 31, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

2023 Outlook

The Company's 2023 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 2023 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 March 31, 2023
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$ 9.1
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets		(19.7)
Free cash flow (use)		$ (10.6)

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:

	March 31, 2023
Inventories	$1,083.2
Trade Receivables	630.1
Less: Trade Accounts Payables	(686.7)
Less: Customer Advances	(36.0)
Total Working Capital	$990.6

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

3 months Sales		$1,235.7
Number of quarters	x	4.0
Annualized Quarterly Sales		$4,942.8

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.
