NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 28, 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 third quarter 2026.

CEO Commentary

"Terex delivered higher sales, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow in the third quarter versus the prior year, with solid order activity increasing across all four segments, resulting in $7 billion backlog that provides meaningful forward visibility across the portfolio. We are also making progress integrating the expanded company, capturing synergies, and applying more consistent operating discipline to improve execution and returns," Simon Meester, Terex President & CEO said.

"Over the past few months we have made good progress in the process of separating the Aerials segment, by advancing the carve-out work and moving from evaluating inbound interest to active engagement with multiple strategic counterparties. At the same time, the Aerials team remains focused on serving customers, growing the business and improving performance. Our priority is to achieve a successful outcome that maximizes value for Terex shareholders."

Third Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• $7.0 billion backlog increased $802 million, or 12.9% on a pro forma basis, versus the prior year, driven by increased bookings in each segment. Bookings of $2.3 billion increased 52.7% year over year on a pro forma basis and reflects a book-to-bill of 103%.

• Net sales of $2.2 billion were 58.4% higher than the third quarter of 2025 on a reported basis.  Pro forma net sales grew by 11.6% year over year, driven by growth in Materials Processing ("MP"), Specialty Vehicles ("SV"), and Aerials.

• Adjusted¹ EBITDA of $286 million increased on a pro forma basis by $35 million, or 13.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year change was driven by meaningful improvements in the MP and SV segments.

• Net income was $114 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to $65 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025.  Adjusted¹ net income was $171 million, or $1.50 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $100 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025.

Business Segment Review

Environmental Solutions

• Net sales of $400 million were down 8.0% or $35 million year over year, primarily due to lower shipments of refuse collection vehicles ("RCVs"), partially offset by higher utilities product sales.

• Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $61 million or 15.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $83 million, or 19.2% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease was driven by unfavorable mix, inefficiencies related to a production ramp up in Utilities, under-absorption associated with lower refuse collection vehicle production volume and inflationary pressures.

Materials Processing

• Net sales of $434 million were up 4.1% or $17 million year over year. On a pro forma¹³ basis, net sales were up 11.3% year over year, driven by increased shipments across most product categories, with the largest increase coming from Aggregates in North America.

• Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $84 million, or 19.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2026, compared to the prior year of $56 million, or 13.5% of net sales and $55 million, or 14.0% of net sales, on a pro forma¹³ basis. The improvement was driven by  higher shipment volume, favorable mix, price cost discipline, and improved absorption driven by higher production volumes.

Specialty Vehicles

• Net sales of $657 million were up 8.1% or $49 million year over year on a pro forma¹³ basis, driven by increased shipments of fire apparatus and recreational vehicles.

• Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $105 million, or 16.0% of net sales for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $79 million, or 13.0% of net sales on a pro forma¹³ basis in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to operational efficiency and price cost discipline, partially offset by inflationary pressures.

Aerials

• Net sales of $709 million were up 32.0% or $172 million year over year, primarily due to  higher shipment volume resulting from strong demand from national customers and increased customer capital spending on large projects.

• Adjusted¹ EBITDA was $62 million, or 8.7% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $56 million, or 10.5% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to higher sales and cost out actions, partially offset by unfavorable customer mix, inflationary and tariff pressures.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

• Free cash flow⁷ of $209 million, up $79 million from the prior year period.

• As of September 30, 2026, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.2 billion.

• During the third quarter of 2026, Terex deployed $32 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.

• During the third quarter of 2026, Terex returned $19 million to shareholders through dividends and $72 million through share repurchases, leaving approximately $111 million available for repurchase under our current share repurchase programs.

• The Board of Directors authorized a new $500 million share repurchase program, totaling $611 million available for repurchase.

CFO Commentary

"Terex delivered solid third-quarter financial performance, with pro forma sales growth of approximately 12% and pro forma adjusted EBITDA growth of 14%, reflecting higher volumes, solid operating execution and realized synergies. Improved working capital efficiency contributed to $241 million of operating cash flow and $209 million of free cash flow during the quarter. We returned $91 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends while reducing debt by $113 million," said Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Terex Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "The Board's new $500 million share repurchase authorization provides additional flexibility to return capital opportunistically within our balanced capital allocation framework, while maintaining the capacity to invest in the business and strengthen the balance sheet."

2026 Outlook

Based on third quarter performance, backlog visibility, and synergy realization, the company is refining its full year outlook.  It expects 2026 sales to grow approximately 8.5% on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to $8.0 to $8.2 billion, Adjusted¹ EBITDA to grow by approximately 10% year over year on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to between $930 million and $960 million, or 11.7% Adjusted¹ EBITDA margin at the mid-point, and Free cash flow of $360 million to $400 million. The Adjusted¹ Diluted EPS² outlook of $4.80 - $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

• Interest of ~$180 million, consistent with pro-forma 2025

• Full year effective tax rate of ~19%

• Full year average diluted shares outstanding of ~110 million for 2026, including ~113 million in 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 per share data and percentages), and are as of or for the period ended September 30, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.

2026 Outlook

The Company's 2026 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow 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  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 in our primary operations.  The following table reconciles Net cash provided by 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 the company believes are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

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.
