Terex Announces First Quarter 2017 Results

Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX) today announced a first quarter 2017 loss from continuing operations of $60.3 million, or ($0.57) per share, on net sales of $1.0 billion. In the first quarter of 2016, the reported loss from continuing operations was $22.0 million, or $0.20 per share, on net sales of $1.1 billion. Excluding after-tax charges of $65.8 million, income from continuing operations, as adjusted, for the first quarter of 2017 was $5.5 million, or $0.05 per share. This compares to income from continuing operations, as adjusted, of $5.0 million or $0.05 per share in the first quarter of 2016. The after-tax charges in the first quarter of 2017 were primarily for deal related costs and the Company’s refinancing activities. The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details regarding these non-GAAP measures.

“We are encouraged by our start to 2017,” said John L. Garrison, Terex President and CEO. “Our Material Processing (MP) segment had an excellent first quarter, growing sales and operating margin. Our Cranes segment results were consistent with our expectation that volumes would be down in the first half of 2017. In Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) sales were down as expected, and operating margins compressed on lower sales and the strength of the US dollar.”

“Looking forward, we see positive momentum in our backlog, which grew year-over-year for the first time in eight quarters,” continued Mr. Garrison. “Overall backlog grew 10%, rising in each of our segments. In particular, the North American market for AWP products is stronger than we anticipated, with positive customer sentiment tempering the impact of the replacement cycle. Year-over-year, AWP backlog grew 21% and bookings rose 38%. In addition, MP backlog grew 29%.”

“We made substantial progress executing our strategy to focus and simplify the Company, and build capabilities in key commercial and operational areas,” added Mr. Garrison. “In January we completed the MHPS sale. We also closed the sale of our loader backhoe business based in Coventry, England, and announced the sale of our India loader backhoe business. Our Cranes restructuring program is making progress, with the closing of our Jinan facility, and we continue to address structural costs. The Commercial Excellence program is providing greater visibility to sales opportunities and helping to improve our bookings and backlog.”

“We significantly improved our capital structure, reducing our debt by approximately $600 million, improving interest rates, and extending our maturities. We expect interest savings of approximately $35 million on an annualized basis.”

Mr. Garrison continued, “In the first quarter we earned a dividend on our Konecranes shares of $13.5 million, contributing $0.09 to our earnings per share. We also repurchased approximately 6.5 million shares of Terex stock through our previously announced programs. Including the full year impact of the Konecranes dividends and our share repurchases, we are increasing our full year adjusted EPS guidance to $0.80 to $0.95.”

Re-segmentation and Non-GAAP Measures

The current and prior period results reflect the re-segmentation of our scrap material handling, concrete mixer trucks and concrete paver business from our former Construction segment into MP, and part of the North American services business from Cranes to MHPS and AWP. Our MHPS business is reported as a discontinued operation. Remaining product lines of our former Construction segment, such as mini-excavators, loader backhoes and site dumpers are included in Corporate and Other.

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. Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. Terex now calculates its quarterly adjusted effective tax rate by multiplying the adjusted forecast full year effective tax rate by the adjusted pre-tax income. Terex believes this more closely aligns with how its investors analyze quarterly results. 2016 results have been adjusted using the same approach.

The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict with a reasonable degree of certainty some elements that are included in reported GAAP results, such as the impact from periodic adjustments to fair value in our ownership interest in Konecranes, the impact of the release of tax valuation allowances and future restructuring charges.

The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details about this subject.

The Company has scheduled a one hour conference call to review the financial results on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. ET. John L. Garrison, President and CEO, will host the call. A simultaneous webcast of this call will be available on the Company’s website, www.terex.com.

The call will also be archived on the Company’s website under “Audio Archives” in the “Investor Relations” section of the website.

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 March 31, 2017, unless otherwise indicated.

2017 Outlook: The Company’s 2017 outlook for earnings per share and 2017 full year adjusted forecasted tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude items such as restructuring and other related charges, impact from periodic adjustments to fair value in ownership interest in Konecranes, deal related costs, the impact of the release of tax valuation allowances, and gains and losses on divestitures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their 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 2017 GAAP financial results.

After-tax gains or losses and per share amounts are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on jurisdictional rates to arrive at an after-tax amount. This number is divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to provide the impact on earnings per share. The Company highlights the impact of these items because when discussing earnings per share, the Company adjusts for items it believes are not reflective of ongoing operating activities in the periods. Restructuring and related charges are a recurring item as Terex’s restructuring programs usually require more than one year to fully implement and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to varying levels of restructuring activity and the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.
