Terex Announces First Quarter 2016 Results

WESTPORT, Conn.--()--Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX) today announced a first quarter 2016 loss from continuing operations of $74.2 million, or $0.68 per share, on net sales of $1.4 billion. In the first quarter a year ago, the reported loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, or $0.02 per share, on net sales of $1.5 billion. On an as adjusted basis, the first quarter loss from continuing operations was $5.6 million, or $0.05 per share, excluding after-tax charges totaling $59.7 million related to severance and restructuring actions, as well as $8.9 million related to ongoing merger and acquisition activities. The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details regarding these items.

“Our first quarter results were in-line with our expectations,” said John L. Garrison, Terex President and CEO. “Our Cranes and Material Handling & Port Solutions (MHPS) segments had a challenging quarter, impacted by soft markets. Our Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), Materials Processing (MP) and Construction segments executed well and delivered results that were consistent with or better than last year, on an adjusted basis.”

Mr. Garrison continued, “Our customers remain cautious in the current global environment. Overall the markets are challenging, but there are pockets of opportunity. Most of our AWP North American rental customers are cautious about their capital requirements, managing time utilization of their fleet and rental rates. The impact from the oil and gas and resource sector declines continue to constrain global demand for many of our products, Crane products in particular. We remain focused on what we can control and have initiated a broad-based restructuring program in the quarter to reduce our SG&A costs and align production capacity with demand. We maintain our full year guidance, expecting 2016 earnings per share to be between $1.30 and $1.60, excluding restructuring and other unusual items, and net sales to be about 10% lower than 2015.”

The current and prior period results reflect the re-segmentation of our scrap material handling business from Construction into MP, and part of the North American services business from Cranes to MHPS and AWP.

All results are for 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. Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. Certain financial measures are shown in italics the first time referenced and are described in the text or the Glossary at the end of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Actual events or the actual future results of Terex may differ materially from any forward-looking statement due to these and other risks, uncertainties and significant factors. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release. Terex expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement included in this release to reflect any changes in expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

GLOSSARY

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 March 31, 2016, unless otherwise indicated.

After-tax gains or expense and per share amounts (Loss from continuing operations as adjusted) are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on jurisdictional rates to arrive at an after-tax amount. This number is divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to provide the impact on earnings per share. The Company highlights the impact of these items because when discussing earnings per share, the Company adjusts for items it believes are not reflective of operating activities in the periods.
