NORWALK, Conn., July 31, 2025 /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 second quarter 2025.
CEO Commentary"Our overall financial performance demonstrates the power of the evolving Terex portfolio. Our Environmental Solutions ("ES") segment exceeded our outlook for the second quarter with strong sales and margin performance in Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") and Terex Utilities, more than offsetting industry-wide headwinds in Aerials where independent rental customers deployed less capex than anticipated. Materials Processing ("MP") achieved sequential growth and margin improvement in line with our expectations," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "The addition of ESG and on-going implementation of our strategy will continue to make Terex a more resilient and predictable performer, well positioned to navigate through this dynamic environment."
Second Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
Bookings of $1.1 billion grew 19% year over year on a pro forma basis and reflects a book-to-bill of 73%, consistent with historical seasonal booking patterns.
Net sales of $1.5 billion were 7.6% higher than the second quarter of 2024. Excluding ESG, our legacy revenue declined by 12% year over year in line with our expectation driven by continued channel adjustment coupled with timing of our backlog conversion.
Operating profit was $129 million, or 8.7% of net sales, compared to $193 million, or 14.0% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted1 operating profit was $164 million, or 11.0% of net sales for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $195 million, or 14.1% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the impact of lower legacy sales volume, as well as unfavorable mix and tariffs within Aerials, partially offset by cost reduction actions coupled with strong performance in ES.
Net income was $72 million, or $1.09 per share, compared to $141 million, or $2.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted1 net income was $98 million, or $1.49 per share for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $146 million, or $2.16 per share, in the second quarter of 2024.
Return on invested capital of 12.3% continues to exceed our cost of capital.
Business Segment Review
Aerials
Net sales of $607 million were down 17.1% or $125 million year-over-year as rental customers deployed less capex, focusing primarily on replacement requirements.
Operating profit of $46 million, or 7.6% of net sales, was down from $115 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in the prior year2. Adjusted1 operating profit was $49 million, or 8.0% of net sales for the second quarter of 2025. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, unfavorable mix and tariffs, partially offset by cost reduction actions. Sales to independent rental customers were down proportionately more than sales to national rental customers.
Materials Processing
Net sales of $454 million were down 9.0% or $45 million year-over-year in line with expectations, primarily due to lower channel requirements and end-market demand across most product lines and geographies.
Operating profit was $49 million, or 10.8% of net sales, compared to $77 million, or 15.4% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted1 operating profit was $58 million, or 12.7% of net sales for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $78 million, or 15.6% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by cost reduction actions.
Environmental Solutions
Net sales of $430 million were up 12.9% on a pro forma basis compared to Q2 2024, driven by strong throughput and delivery of refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) and strong book-to-bill installs in Terex Utilities.
Operating profit was $61 million or 14.2% of net sales. Adjusted1 operating profit was $82 million or 19.1% of net sales for the second quarter of 2025, a 230 basis point improvement over the pro forma results in Q2 20242, reflecting continued margin improvements in both ESG and Terex Utilities.
Strong Liquidity
Strong free cash flow generation of $78 million, up from $43 million in the prior year period, representing a cash conversion rate of 108%.
As of June 30, 2025, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.2 billion.
During the second quarter of 2025, Terex deployed $24 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
Through June 30, 2025, Terex has returned $75 million to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $38.74 per share leaving approximately $33 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.
As a result, our Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which Terex may repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock. This program reflects our continued commitment to returning capital to shareholders and confidence in our long-term growth strategy.
CFO Commentary"I was pleased with our strong cash flow generation in the second quarter, achieving 108% cash conversion, which supported continued execution of our balanced capital allocation strategy, returning value to shareholders while continuing to invest for longer-term organic growth," commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Looking ahead, bookings across the company have returned to normal seasonal patterns, and the year-over-year pro forma growth of 19% and healthy backlog supports our second half sales outlook. As a global company with a significant footprint in the United States and around the world, we have optionality to adapt to various tariff scenarios. That said, significant tariff rate increases could have a transitory impact on operating margins until mitigation actions are fully deployed. Assuming that tariffs broadly remain at current rates, we maintain our full year EPS outlook of $4.70 to $5.10."

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.
