NORWALK, Conn., May 1, 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 first quarter 2026.

CEO Commentary
"We are off to a good start and executing to plan, including the first 58 days with REV Group in our portfolio, now operating as our Specialty Vehicles (SV) segment, which made a meaningful contribution in the quarter. Our quarter-end backlog of $7.1 billion, supported by strong booking trends in Materials Processing, Aerials, and Terex Utilities, provides solid forward visibility. As a result, we are reiterating our full-year outlook," said Simon Meester, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to execute our strategy, including the integration of REV. We remain on track to deliver approximately $28 million of synergies in 2026 through the elimination of duplicate overhead and to achieve the full $75 million run-rate within our 24 month target."

CFO Commentary
"Our overall first quarter operational financial results were consistent with our expectations.  Adjusted EPS for the quarter of $0.98 which included approximately $0.10 of tax favorability when the Q1 rate is compared to our 2026 full year expected tax rate of 21%.   Our operational EPS improvement was $0.05 compared to last year.  Notably our current Q1 EPS is based on 96.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, up from 66.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2025," commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "I was also pleased with our net working capital efficiency improvement in the quarter which decreased to 16.7%, down 930 basis points compared with the prior year largely due to the addition of Specialty Vehicles.  Looking ahead, we are confirming our full year outlook, which includes the impact of the recent change in 232 tariffs which is expected to be negligible as the vast majority of our US sales are manufactured in the US."

2026 Outlook

With Q1 operational performance in line with our expectations, $7.1 billion in backlog, and end markets trending as anticipated, we are reiterating our full year outlook.  We expect 2026 sales to grow ~5% on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to $7.5 to $8.1 billion. We expect EBITDA to grow by ~$100 million or ~12% year over year on a pro forma¹⁴ basis to between $930 million and $1 billion, or 12.4% EBITDA margin at the mid-point. The EPS outlook of $4.50 - $5.00 includes the following assumptions/commentary:

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.

Conference call

The Company has scheduled a conference call to review the financial results on Friday, May 1, 2026 beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET.  Simon A.

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 share data and percentages), and are as of or for the period ended March 31, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.

2026 Outlook

The Company's 2026 outlook for segment operating margin, earnings per share, EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion 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 (used in) 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 or use in our primary operations and the efficiency with which the Company converts earnings into cash.  The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):

(non-GAAP)

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.
