Current report
Macro cross-currents continue to impact end market demand and channel dynamics. We view the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as largely positive as key provisions, particularly the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, are supportive of equipment demand and increased U.S. industrial activity. Moreover, the bill includes new bonus depreciation for Qualified Production Property, allowing newly constructed non-residential real estate to benefit from 100% bonus depreciation, which we believe will support increased US manufacturing capital expenditures. The bill also allocates significant funds to construction spending, particularly border infrastructure and defense. Running counter to these policy tailwinds are persistently high interest rates and tariff-related uncertainty that continue to impact capital decisions in certain areas.
Current report
A key strength of the Terex portfolio is the diversification of our end markets. Last year’s Environmental Solutions Group (“ESG”) acquisition significantly expanded our exposure to the waste and recycling end market. Waste and Recycling now represents approximately 30% of our global revenue and is characterized by low cyclicality and steady growth. Utilities makes up about 10% and is growing due to the need to expand and strengthen the power grid. About 15% of our business is related to Infrastructure where significant investment continues to be put in place in the United States and around the world. These three markets, representing more than half of our revenue, are highly resilient and less exposed to macroeconomic or geo-political dynamics than other areas. Another benefit of the ESG acquisition was the opportunity to unlock considerable synergy value across Terex. We are running well ahead of our initial targets and continue to find more opportunities for leverage across our portfolio of businesses.
Current report
Our overall performance in the quarter was in line with our expectations, despite tight monetary policies, changing trade policies and geopolitical tensions. This is a testament to the strength of the Terex portfolio that headwinds faced by Aerials were offset by continued strong performance in ES and MP delivering on its planned sequential improvements. Net sales of $1.5 billion grew 8% year over year. Excluding ESG, our legacy sales declined by 12%, consistent with our expectation. Our operating margin was 8.7%, down 530 basis points year over year, consistent with our planned sequential improvement. Stronger ES margins offset lower than expected margins in Aerials. Our bookings trends have returned to normal seasonal patterns. Our backlog remains healthy at $2.2 billion and supports our outlook for the second half of 2025.
Current report
Aerials second quarter 2025 sales of $607 million was consistent with our expectations but the customer mix was more heavily weighted to our national customers than we anticipated. Independent customers were cautious and held back on capital expenditure deployment given the high degree of macro uncertainty. National customers continue to benefit disproportionately from mega-projects and infrastructure construction and they continued to execute their replacement-focused capex plans. Aerials operating margin improved sequentially on better manufacturing absorption, but was lower than we expected largely because of customer mix.
Current report
MP second quarter 2025 sales of $454 million were 9% lower than last year, but in line with our expected increase from first quarter 2025. We continue to see high fleet utilization rates in the United States and normalization of dealer stock levels. However, macro uncertainty and high interest rates remain a headwind for rent to own conversions and the European market remained weak in the quarter. As expected, MP began to improve operating margins from the first quarter levels, increasing to 10.8% in the second quarter. Most of the improvement was in the Aggregates vertical while the Cranes and Handling businesses remained challenging.
Current report
Our ES segment had another strong quarter, generating $430 million in sales with year over year and sequential growth in both ESG and Terex Utilities. Within ESG, operational improvements drove margin gains on Heil refuse collection vehicles and Marathon compactors. Utilities benefited from a positive customer and product mix and improved operational execution.

Current report
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $105 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to sales generated from the recently acquired ESG business, partially offset by lower end-market demand across most product lines and geographies within Aerials and MP’s North America Aggregates business.
Current report
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $38 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume within Aerials and MP, as well as unfavorable mix and tariffs within Aerials, partially offset by strong ESG performance.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $26 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to additional compensation cost related to the recently acquired ESG business, as well as higher restructuring and integration costs, partially offset by lower compensation cost within Aerials and MP.
Current report
Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $64 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the impact of lower legacy sales volume, as well as unfavorable mix and tariffs in Aerials, partially offset by strong ESG performance and cost reduction actions within Aerials and MP.
Current report
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $125 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower end-market demand across most product lines and geographies as rental customers deployed less capital expenditures, focusing primarily on replacement requirements.

Other income (expense) – net was an income of $2 million and an expense of $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in income is primarily due to net gains recorded on equity securities.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) (H.R.1) was signed in to law by the President of the United States. The OBBBA contains significant provisions impacting corporate taxation in the U.S. with multiple effective dates. Among the changes effective in 2025 are modifications to capitalization of domestic research and development costs, accelerated depreciation of fixed assets and other qualifying property, as well as limitations on deductions for interest expense. Changes effective in 2026 include, among others, modifications to certain international tax provisions. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the OBBBA to assess their impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous report
We continue to implement our updated Execute, Innovate and Grow strategy. We are evaluating our global footprint, focusing on opportunities to reduce fixed costs while improving operational performance, efficiency and flexibility. We have a new product development pipeline focused on maximizing return on investment for our customers and we are expanding our suite of digital solutions. We also continue to invest in robotics, automation, and digitizing workstreams to make our operations more efficient and flexible. Completing the ESG acquisition last year was a significant step forward. We expect organic growth in that business to continue, driven by demographics, product technology adoption, share gains, and further penetration of our digital solutions. Integrating ESG into Terex is on track, and we continue to expect to deliver at least $25 million in operational run-rate synergies by the end of 2026.
Previous report
Our overall financial results in the first quarter exceeded our expectations due to strong execution by ESG. Net sales of $1.2 billion were 4.9% lower than the first quarter of 2024, as a 25% decline in organic business sales was partially offset by the addition of ESG. The organic business sales decline was in line with our expectation driven by continued channel adjustment coupled with timing of our backlog conversion. As we expected, our operating margins were impacted by the production cuts in Aerials and MP in the past two quarters that exceeded the revenue decline in the period. Those actions were necessary to manage inventory and rebalance supply with demand. Our current backlog of $2.6 billion is supportive of our outlook.
Previous report
MP first quarter 2025 sales of $382 million was in line with our 2025 planning. We continue to see high fleet utilization rates in the United States. Quotation activity across our dealer network is positive with dealer stock levels declining albeit slowly. However, macro uncertainty and higher interest rates remain a headwind for rent to own conversions and the European market remains weak in particular for Aggregates and Cranes. Our Concrete business, led by Advance, delivered a solid first quarter with improved margins driven by new customers. MP’s backlog increased 33% sequentially and is in line with pre-covid norms. MP has returned to its traditional book-to-bill cadence supported by reliable lead times with backlog coverage of approximately three months.
Previous report
Aerials first quarter 2025 sales of $450 million was consistent with our expectations. Approximately half of the revenue was generated in March, as our rental customers began to ramp up their deliveries heading into the seasonally higher construction period. That pattern is continuing into the second quarter. We continued to see strong Aerials book to bill in the quarter as our rental customers are executing their capex plans focused largely on fleet replacement.
Previous report
Our ES segment had a strong quarter, generating approximately $400 million in sales which represented a third of our total Terex revenue in the first quarter. We produced and delivered more refuse collection vehicles in the first quarter than in any previous quarter in Heil’s history. ES backlog of $1.1 billion continues to demonstrate strong demand in both ESG and Terex Utilities.

In the first quarter of 2025, our largest market remained North America, which represented approximately 73% of our global sales. As compared to the prior year, sales were up in North America, driven by the ESG acquisition, and down in all other major geographies. Adding ESG made Terex a more US-centric company, which we believe is advantageous in the current geopolitical environment. Based on 2025 outlook, approximately 75% of our US machine sales is generated by products that we produce in our 11 manufacturing locations in the United States.

We are closely following the administration’s approach to international trade policy and the responses from countries around the world. The majority of the products we sell in the United States, we make in the United States which largely limits our exposure. Moreover, we initiated mitigation actions last year and in the first quarter of 2025 in anticipation of additional tariffs, leveraging our global capabilities to manage the impact. Like other industrial companies, we have a global supply base and are exposed to tariffs on imported material. A key element of our tariff mitigation plan was working closely with our global suppliers to absorb the added cost and forward-place inventory in the United States to buffer the impact of the new tariffs. In addition, we are leveraging the global sourcing capabilities we developed during the first Trump administration and the post-Covid supply chain crisis, to re-balance supply to more favorable sources, among other actions. As a global company with a significant footprint in the United States and around the world, we have optionality and are ready to take additional actions if needed. See Part II, Item 1A. – “Risk Factors” for a detailed description of the risks resulting from the imposition of new, postponed or increased international tariffs.

We continue to expect growth in 2025, anticipating net sales of $5.3 to $5.5 billion, as a result of the ESG acquisition more than offsetting year-over-year declines in organic sales. We are maintaining our full-year earnings per share outlook of $4.70 and $5.10 on lower organic operating profit, partially offset by ESG accretion. Our outlook assumes easing of recently announced tariffs. It is important to realize we are operating in a complex environment with many macroeconomic variables and geopolitical uncertainties, so results could change, negatively or positively.

In the calculation of ROIC, we adjust operating profit, annualized effective tax rate, and stockholders’ equity to remove the effects of the impact of certain transactions in order to create a measure that is more useful to understanding our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying business excluding the impact of unusual items as shown in the tables below. Our management and Board of Directors (“Board”) use ROIC as one measure to assess operational performance, which is also included in 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 March 31, 2025 was 15.0%.

The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to an increase in favorable discrete items.
Previous wording
On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15% for large corporations, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Framework. A number of countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, many of which were effective in 2024 subject to the OECD transitional safe harbor rules, while other countries are still in the process of introducing legislation. In addition, the OECD continues to issue guidance on this matter including the technical documents released on January 15, 2025. Among this release, the OECD issued Administrative Guidance on the application of the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules. While the Company has determined the impact of enacted Pillar Two legislation on its financial statements is not material, the Company will continue to evaluate the financial statement impacts as additional Pillar Two rules are enacted and OECD guidance is issued, including the documents recently released.
