Current report
We remain focused on executing our multi-year growth plan and continue to invest in new technologies and products across our businesses. Our strategic operational priorities of execution, innovation and growth continue to strengthen our operations and allow us to capitalize on the demand in our end-markets. The recently completed acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") strengthens our portfolio. ESG adds a non-cyclical, financially accretive, and market-leading business to our portfolio with tangible synergies in the fast-growing waste and recycling end market. Our operations teams adapted quickly to changing market conditions and continued to execute at a high level throughout the third quarter. Fixed cost management is an area where we have made improvements, for example shifting higher cost production to our Monterrey, Mexico facility. We will continue to focus on reducing fixed costs by leveraging technology, improving efficiency, and re-thinking operating norms where better approaches are available. We also continue to leverage technology internally, making investments in robotics, automation, and digitizing workstreams to make us more efficient and more flexible. This represents an important part of our roadmap to continuously become more competitive and more resilient regardless of market dynamics.
Current report
We adapted quickly to in-quarter channel adjustments and executed at a high level throughout the third quarter. We saw more challenging macro dynamics as the trajectory of future interest rate cuts and the upcoming U.S. election are casting a shadow of uncertainty leading to more cautious decision-making. Although U.S. construction continues to grow, the rate of growth has slowed, and we are seeing local projects being deferred until investors have more clarity on the macro environment. Another important factor, particularly in aerials, is that lead times for new equipment have come down, largely back to pre-pandemic levels. This allows our rental customers to align their equipment delivery schedules more precisely with their requirements. In MP, we continue to see dealers re-balance inventory levels as more of their customers are renting their machines longer. When the machine is on rent it remains on the dealer’s balance sheet and limits their ability to order new machines. Our backlog of $1.6 billion remains above historical levels. Bookings reflect a return to more normal seasonality and we expect our backlog to normalize to pre-pandemic levels as our lead times have reduced due to global supply chain improvements.
Current report
AWP’s third quarter 2024 net sales were up 2% compared to the prior year, however that was lower than we had previously anticipated due to delivery adjustments from our U.S. rental customers as our customers adjusted delivery schedules to align with fleet productivity and shorter equipment lead times. Our Utilities business benefits from grid modernization and hardening efforts across the U.S. AWP delivered operating margins of 10.8% for the quarter, down 160 basis points compared to the prior year, driven by unfavorable mix and higher freight costs.
Current report
In connection with the ESG acquisition, we up-sized and extended our revolver and obtained $2 billion of proceeds from long-term financing. See Note J – “Long-Term Obligations” for a detailed description of our financing terms.
Current report
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $78 million when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower end-market demand across most geographies, partially offset by healthy demand for telehandlers and utility products in North America.
Current report
Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $41 million when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume and unfavorable geographic and product mix as well as higher freight and severance costs, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Previous report
We remain focused on executing our multi-year growth plan and continue to invest in new technologies and products across our businesses. Our strategic operational priorities of execution, innovation and growth continue to strengthen our operations and allow us to capitalize on the strong demand in our end-markets. Our operations teams executed well during the second quarter of 2024, maintaining their focus on improving deliveries to our customers and continuing with cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives. We continued our investment in technology and new product development, which are important to help enable us to take advantage of sustainability trends such as recycling, electrification and decarbonization. Company-wide investments in new product development and continued deployment of digital customer and dealer solutions are important to help deliver long-term growth. We continued to make good progress ramping up our facility in Monterrey, Mexico. As we enter the second half of the year, we expect to start seeing increased efficiencies from Monterrey, which we believe will enhance long-term margin trajectory of AWP.
Previous report
Our performance in the second quarter of 2024 reflected healthy customer demand for our products and excellent execution by our team members in a dynamic and challenging environment. Net sales of $1.4 billion were down 2% year-over-year, reflecting a continued weakness in European markets, partially offset by continued strong demand for aerial work platforms and telehandlers in North America. Gross margins decreased by 60 basis points year-over-year due to unfavorable mix. Income from operations of $193 million was down 8% year-over-year. Operating margin of 14.0% was down 100 basis points compared to the prior year. Our backlog of $2.4 billion remains significantly above historical levels. Over time, we expect our backlog to normalize to pre-pandemic levels as our lead times have normalized due to global supply chain improvements. While consolidated bookings were down in the second quarter year-over-year, we expect improved bookings in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025 as we return to more normal season ordering patterns and our annual national contracts are finalized.
Previous report
AWP’s second quarter 2024 net sales were up 7% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by higher demand in North America, as well as improved supply chain and manufacturing throughput. Construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications are driving demand for Genie products. Examples of such applications for Genie products include data centers, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Our Utilities business is benefiting from electric grid expansion across the U.S. AWP delivered operating margins of 15.2% for the quarter, down 100 basis points compared to the prior year, driven by Monterrey start-up inefficiencies and a one-time facility sale gain in the prior year. AWP continues to have a strong backlog of $1.8 billion.

We discuss forward-looking information related to expected earnings per share (“EPS”) excluding the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and other unusual items. Our 2024 outlook for EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes 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 2024 GAAP financial results. This forward-looking information provides guidance to investors about our EPS expectations excluding these unusual items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.

In the calculation of ROIC, we adjust the annualized effective tax rate to reflect management’s expectation of the full-year effective tax rate and amortize the one-time tax benefit derived from recording of a deferred tax asset in relation to our Swiss operations in 2023 to create a measure that is more useful to understanding our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying business as shown in the tables below. Our management and Board of Directors (“Board”) use ROIC as one measure to assess operational performance, including in connection with certain compensation programs. We use ROIC as a metric because we believe it measures how effectively we invest our capital and provides a better measure to compare ourselves to peer companies to assist in assessing how we drive operational improvement. We believe ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in our businesses and is an accurate and descriptive measure of our performance. We also believe adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Stockholders’ equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested. As the tables below show, our ROIC at June 30, 2024 was 25.9%.
