NORWALK, Conn., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX), a global leader in specialized equipment, serving essential sectors such as emergency services, waste and recycling, utilities, and construction, today announced its results for the first quarter 2026.

CEO Commentary
"We are off to a good start and executing to plan, including the first 58 days with REV Group in our portfolio, now operating as our Specialty Vehicles (SV) segment, which made a meaningful contribution in the quarter. Our quarter-end backlog of $7.1 billion, supported by strong booking trends in Materials Processing, Aerials, and Terex Utilities, provides solid forward visibility. As a result, we are reiterating our full-year outlook," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to execute our strategy, including the integration of REV. We remain on track to deliver approximately $28 million of synergies in 2026 through the elimination of duplicate overhead and to achieve the full $75 million run-rate within our 24 month target."

First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Backlog increased sequentially to $7.1 billion.  Bookings of $2.1 billion were down 1.1% year over year on a pro forma basis driven by timing of orders in ES and SV and reflects a book-to-bill of 109%.  Proforma bookings up 14% on a rolling six month basis.
• Net sales of $1.7 billion were 41.1% higher than the first quarter of 2025.  Proforma net sales grew by 11% year over year including growth in every segment.
• EBITDA was ($7) million, or (0.4%) of net sales, compared to $106 million, or 8.7% of net sales in the prior year.  Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $173 million, or 9.9% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $128 million, or 10.4% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the accretive addition of Specialty Vehicles, higher sales volumes in MP and operational improvement initiatives, partially offset by tariffs, which were not in effect in the prior year period, and unfavorable mix within Aerials, and product mix in ES.
• Income from continuing operations was ($93) million, or ($0.97) per share, compared to $21 million, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter of 2025.  Adjusted¹ income from continuing operations was $94 million, or $0.98 per share for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $55 million, or $0.83 per share, in the first quarter of 2025.

Business Segment Review

Environmental Solutions

• Net sales of $412 million were up 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong throughput and delivery of utilities products, partially offset by lower shipments of refuse collection vehicles.
• EBITDA was $73 million, or 17.7% of net sales, compared to $80 million, or 20.1% of net sales in the prior year.  Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $74 million or 18.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $81 million, or 20.3% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to unfavorable product mix, partially offset by higher sales volume and synergy realization.

Materials Processing

• Net sales of $419 million were up 9.7% or $37 million year over year, primarily due to higher shipment volumes across most product lines and geographies and positive effects of foreign exchange rates. On a pro forma¹³ basis, net sales were up 18.3% year over year, driven by growth in Aggregates, Material Handling and Recycling, partially offset by lower sales in Concrete. 
• EBITDA was $68 million, or 16.2% of net sales, compared to $41 million, or 10.8% of net sales in the prior year.  Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $63 million, or 15.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $43 million, or 11.2% of net sales in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume, price realization and efficiency improvement.

Specialty Vehicles

• Net sales of $436 million were up 20% year over year on a pro forma¹³ basis, driven by growth in all product lines, partially due to weather-related delivery timing.
• EBITDA was ($53) million, or (12.2%) of net sales due to merger-related non-recurring items more than offsetting operational improvements.  Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $62 million, or 14.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $46 million, or 12.6% of net sales on a pro forma¹³ basis in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to increased throughput, price realization and improved operational efficiency.

Aerials

• Net sales of $469 million were up 4.2% or $19 million year over year, primarily due to positive effects of foreign exchange rates.
• EBITDA and Adjusted¹ EBITDA were breakeven, or 0.1% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to EBITDA of $8 million, or 1.8% of net sales, and Adjusted¹ EBITDA of $20 million, or 4.4% of net sales in the prior year. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to tariffs, which the business did not incur this time last year. In addition, the business also faced some temporary unfavorable mix and timing of price realization.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

• Free cash outflow⁷ of $57 million, similar to the prior year period.
• As of March 31, 2026, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.0 billion.
• During the first quarter of 2026, Terex deployed $26 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
• Through March 31, 2026, Terex returned $19 million to shareholders through dividends and has approximately $183 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.

CFO Commentary
"Our overall first quarter operational financial results were consistent with our expectations.  Adjusted EPS for the quarter of $0.98 which included approximately $0.10 of tax favorability when the Q1 rate is compared to our 2026 full year expected tax rate of 21%.   Our operational EPS improvement was $0.05 compared to last year.  Notably our current Q1 EPS is based on 96.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, up from 66.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2025," commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "I was also pleased with our net working capital efficiency improvement in the quarter which decreased to 16.7%, down 930 basis points compared with the prior year largely due to the addition of Specialty Vehicles.  Looking ahead, we are confirming our full year outlook, which includes the impact of the recent change in 232 tariffs which is expected to be negligible as the vast majority of our US sales are manufactured in the US."

2026 Outlook

With Q1 operational performance in line with our expectations, $7.1 billion in backlog, and end markets trending as anticipated, we are reiterating our full year outlook.  We expect 2026 sales to grow ~5% on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to $7.5 to $8.1 billion. We expect EBITDA to grow by ~$100 million or ~12% year over year on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to between $930 million and $1 billion, or 12.4% EBITDA margin at the mid-point. The EPS outlook of $4.50 - $5.00 includes the following assumptions/commentary:

• 11 months impact of the new Specialty Vehicle segment (former REV)
• ~$28 million of realized synergies for 2026, on-target to achieving a $75 million annual run-rate within 2 years
• Excludes the divested MP cranes and Midwest RV business results
• Current tariff rates to stay as-is, including the recently announced changes to 232 tariffs
• Interest of ~$190 million, consistent with pro-forma 2025
• Full year effective tax rate of ~21%
• Full year average shares outstanding of 111 million for 2026, including ~115 million in Q2 to Q4

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, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.

2026 Outlook

The Company's 2026 outlook for segment operating margin, earnings per share, EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, tariffs, trade policies and other unusual items. 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 2026 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's 2026 Outlook 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 that is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets.  The Company believes this measure provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations and the efficiency with which the Company converts earnings into cash.  The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):

EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings, before interest, other non-operating income (loss), income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The Company calculates this by subtracting the following items from Net income (loss): (Gain) loss on disposition of discontinued operations- net of tax; and (Income) loss from discontinued operations – net of tax.  Then adds the Provision for (benefit from) income taxes; Interest & Other (Income) Expense; the Depreciation and Amortization amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows less amortization of debt issuance costs that are recorded in Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus certain SG&A and other income/expenses.

Terex believes that disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will be helpful to those reviewing its performance, as EBITDA provides information on Terex's ability to meet debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and is also an indicator of profitability.
