Current report
Safety remains a top priority for Terex, both for our team members and our customers. Our global team continues to execute well in a dynamic environment, delivering products and services while maintaining a safe and efficient workplace.
Current report
Terex is well positioned from a manufacturing footprint standpoint as about 75% of our 2025 US machine sales are expected to be generated by products that we produce in at least one of our 11 US manufacturing facilities. That said, higher tariff rates continue to have a transitory impact on our 2025 financial performance. The most notable tariff-related change during the quarter occurred in mid-August when the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security added 407 HS codes to the scope of the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum. Unlike other tariffs, the 50% rate under the Section 232 tariffs only applies to the value of the non-US steel content in an imported item. On a macro level, we view the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and more accommodative monetary policy to be stimulative for our domestic end markets which may help mitigate headwinds from tariffs and other external challenges.
Current report
Our overall performance in the quarter continued to be solid despite on-going tariff challenges, headwinds in certain markets, and macro uncertainty. ES continued to grow and deliver strong margins. MP achieved over 12% operating margin at trough-level volumes, and Aerials delivered better than expected margins in the quarter. Net sales of $1.4 billion grew 14% year over year. Excluding ESG, our legacy sales declined by 8%. Operating margin improved sequentially to 10.1%, flat year over year. Our backlog remains healthy at $1.8 billion, providing visibility into the fourth quarter and supporting our full-year outlook.
Current report
Aerials third quarter 2025 sales of $537 million were consistent with our expectations. Aerials operating margin of 8.4% was up compared to Q2, but down 180 basis points year over year, due to lower volume and unfavorable customer mix, partially offset by a favorable discrete item of approximately $18 million and cost reductions. Tariff-related impacts, particularly from the expanded scope of Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs, began to affect Aerials machines and components manufactured in Monterrey, Mexico. Despite this, Aerials maintains a strong competitive position as one of only two U.S.-based aerial manufacturers with significant domestic production. Approximately 70% of Aerials products sold in the U.S. are manufactured domestically, including nearly all booms and scissors. The Aerials team continues to execute cost reduction and supply chain action plans to mitigate tariff-related inflation.
Current report
MP third quarter 2025 sales of $417 million were 6% lower than last year, consistent with our expectations. Global Aggregates sales were modestly higher than last year, growing in all regions, while Concrete and Cranes sales declined. MP generated 12.5% operating margin in Q3, consistent with our expectations as cost control and pricing actions largely offset the tariff impact. We expect to see margin improvement in MP as we close out 2025.
Current report
Our ES segment had another excellent quarter, generating $435 million of sales with 14% year-over-year growth on a pro forma basis. The strong growth was driven by improved throughput and delivery of refuse collection vehicles and utilities trucks. ES delivered 13.3% operating margin, with continued sequential margin expansion at Utilities.
Current report
Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $4 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by cost reductions.

Previous report
Safety is a top priority, not only for our team members, but also our customers. All Terex team members contribute to our effort of continuing to provide products and services for our customers, while maintaining a safe working environment.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous report
Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $28 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower sales volume and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

Previous wording
We discuss forward-looking information related to expected earnings per share (“EPS”) excluding the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, tariffs, trade policies and other unusual items. Our 2025 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 2025 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.

Previous wording
In the second 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 U.S. machine sales is generated by products that we produce in our 11 manufacturing locations in the United States.
Current wording
In the third quarter of 2025, our largest market remained North America, which represented approximately 72% of our global sales. As compared to the prior year, sales were up in North America, driven by the ESG acquisition, slightly up in Western Europe, and down in Asia Pacific and other regions. Adding ESG made Terex a more US-centric company, which we believe is advantageous in the current geopolitical environment. We are seeing more signs of stability in construction markets, with a more encouraging outlook for infrastructure and industrial related spending growth in the medium to longer-term. We are also encouraged by increasing adoption of our products in emerging markets such as India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Previous wording
We continued to execute our capital allocation strategy as we made strategic investments in our businesses and we returned capital to shareholders. We continued to maintain ample liquidity and as of June 30, 2025, we had $1.2 billion in available liquidity, with no near-term debt maturities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed description of liquidity and working capital levels, including the primary factors affecting such levels, as well as a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow.

Previous wording
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 half 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 legacy sales. We are maintaining our full-year earnings per share outlook of $4.70 and $5.10 on lower legacy operating profit, partially offset by ESG accretion. Our outlook assumes that tariffs broadly remain at current rates and reasonable deals are made with key countries. 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.
Current wording
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 legacy sales. We are maintaining our full-year earnings per share outlook of between $4.70 and $5.10 on lower legacy operating profit, partially offset by ESG accretion. We now expect the full year net unfavorable impact of tariffs on EPS to be approximately $0.70, assuming tariffs broadly remain at current rates. 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 June 30, 2025 was 12.3%.
