Press Release Details

WESTPORT, Conn., Apr 20, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011 of $5.0 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $79.0 million or $0.73 per share in the first quarter of 2010. The first quarter results were favorably impacted by an after-tax gain of $33.2 million, or $0.28 per share on the sale of approximately 1.8 million shares of Bucyrus International, Inc. common stock, while negatively impacted by an after-tax expense of $4.1 million, or $0.04 per share, for costs associated with the early retirement of the Company's 7-3/8% senior subordinated notes in the quarter, and after tax charges related to restructuring and a customer insolvency of an additional $3.8 million, or $0.03 per share.

Net sales from continuing operations were $1,256.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 34.2% from $935.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. Loss from operations was $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2011, an improvement of $57.2 million as compared to a loss from operations of $66.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.

All results are for continuing operations, unless stated otherwise. Discontinued operations include the Mining, Atlas and Powertrain businesses. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.

"Overall, the first quarter results were largely in line with our expectations. Order activity continues to accelerate, and demand has picked up sharply, leading to increased quarterly sales in most of our businesses. This is most evident by the significantly increased backlog seen in all four of our segments at the end of the first quarter," commented Ron DeFeo, Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Somewhat offsetting favorable demand trends are increased input costs, mostly associated with purchased materials such as steel, hydraulics, tires and other manufacturing components. In response, we have recently increased pricing in an effort to regain the profitability we would expect from each product line. We also see some potential risks associated with component availability and are monitoring our supplier base closely."

Mr. DeFeo continued, "The economic recovery is taking hold in many major markets for Terex. As we had previously indicated, we expected our Cranes segment to be challenged in the first half of 2011 as we work through the effects of inconsistent demand for many of our larger cranes during 2010. This was particularly evident in our port equipment line of business, where we had several customers delay delivery in the first quarter, which led to a larger than expected loss for the segment overall. We expect to deliver these cranes during the upcoming months and for our orders and deliveries to improve as we move through the year. Longer term, we are optimistic about our Cranes segment, as we have seen a significant increase in demand from North America, as well as a continued increase in activity in developing markets."

Mr. DeFeo added, "Performance in the Materials Processing (MP) segment continues to improve, with the business performing consistent with our expectations, and positioned to show improved profitability in the remaining quarters of 2011. Our Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) business has seen a substantial increase in demand from the North American rental channel, with backlog up approximately 123% from this time last year and approximately 45% from the end of 2010. We have initiated pricing increases in AWP starting with deliveries scheduled for late in the second quarter of 2011. However, the current operating margin reflects the impact of orders placed early in the recovery without the benefits of the new pricing structure or the benefit of operating efficiencies as we accelerated production to meet the increased demand. Construction segment operating losses were sharply reduced in the first quarter, mainly reflecting improvements from cost savings initiatives, improved operating performance and increasing demand, particularly for compact construction equipment and material handlers. We are pursuing initiatives to grow our market share in each of our segments and we are very enthusiastic about the new products we launched at the CONEXPO trade show in Las Vegas in March.

"Our expectation for full year 2011 performance heading into this year was for net sales to be between $5 billion and $5.4 billion, resulting in earnings per share (EPS), excluding restructuring and unusual items, between $0.60 and $0.75. Adjusting our view for an improved demand environment, but increased pressures from component costs, our current expectations are for us to achieve the previously guided EPS range on net sales between $5.2 billion and $5.5 billion. We also expect each of the remaining quarters in 2011 to deliver positive net income and EPS. Longer term, we remain focused on the growth goals previously established for Terex of achieving $8 billion in net sales and an operating margin of 12%."

First Quarter Performance Review

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 a Glossary at the end of this press release.

Aerial Work Platforms: Net sales for the AWP segment for the first quarter of 2011 increased $161.1 million, or 74.7%, to $376.8 million versus the first quarter of 2010. The North American market continued its recovery, with increased capital expenditures from both large and medium sized rental customers related to fleet replacement. All other geographies experienced strong growth, especially Western Europe.

Income from operations in the first quarter was $6.0 million, or 1.6% of net sales, as compared to a loss from operations of $20.3 million, or 9.4% of net sales, incurred during the first quarter of 2010. Operating profit benefited mainly from increased sales volumes and manufacturing cost absorption due to increased production levels. Partially offsetting this increase were higher input costs and weaker price realization due to early order discount and other incentives.

Construction: Net sales for the Construction segment for the first quarter of 2011 increased $138.4 million, or 67.7%, to $342.9 million versus the first quarter of 2010. The improvement in net sales was driven by strong demand for the material handler product and increased demand for trucks, especially for quarry applications in developing markets. Also contributing to the increase in net sales was demand for backhoe loaders in Western Europe and Russia, increased interest in compact equipment in rental outlets throughout the Americas and strong parts sales driven by aging fleets and higher utilization.

Loss from operations in the first quarter was $3.5 million, or 1.0% of net sales, as compared to a loss from operations of $22.8 million, or 11.1% of net sales, during the first quarter of 2010. Operating results benefited from increased sales volumes and improved operating performance due to restructuring that has taken place over the past year. This was slightly offset by increased costs for certain raw materials and components as well as selling, general and administrative expenses in response to the growth.

Cranes: Net sales for the Cranes segment for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $15.4 million, or 3.7%, to $398.3 million versus the first quarter of 2010. The quarterly net sales were favorably impacted by a recovery in demand throughout the Americas with shipments being driven predominantly by energy and commercial construction applications. Demand remained slow for large crawler cranes worldwide, where the market tends to recover later in the business cycle. Also contributing to crawler crane demand weakness was the postponement or cancellation of certain wind projects in Germany and the UK due to reductions in government funding. Our port equipment products have experienced delivery delays, with these deliveries now expected to take place in the second and third quarters of 2011. Quarterly results related to port equipment products remain somewhat hard to predict with the unevenness of product ordering, tenders and customer delivery.

Loss from operations during the first quarter of 2011 was $22.5 million, or 5.6% of net sales, as compared with a loss from operations of $3.1 million, or 0.7% of net sales, during the first quarter of 2010. Operating results were negatively impacted by material cost increases, competitive pricing, product mix, and a $5 million charge taken for a customer insolvency, but were helped slightly by improved cost absorption, especially in North America. Larger than expected losses of approximately $16 million mainly due to delayed deliveries and a cost structure that currently remains too high were reported in the port equipment business. The Cranes segment continues to work on accelerating its improvement plan and cost reduction activities related to its port equipment business.

Materials Processing: Net sales for the MP segment for the first quarter of 2011 increased $44.0 million, or 40.7%, to $152.2 million versus the first quarter of 2010. Machine sales increased worldwide, particularly in Australia, South Africa and the Americas, primarily due to a stronger global economic picture and dealer restocking ahead of anticipated orders driven by early cycle demand. Northern and Eastern European markets have started to show signs of recovery, while demand in Southern European markets remained fairly soft.

Income from operations during the first quarter of 2011 was $12.3 million, or 8.1% of net sales, compared to a loss from operations of $0.3 million, or 0.3% of net sales, incurred during the first quarter of 2010. The primary drivers of the improved operating performance were better manufacturing utilization and product pricing, offset partially by the rising cost of components and raw materials.

Corporate and Other / Eliminations: The loss from operations of $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2011 improved by $18.4 million compared to the prior year period, mainly due to the impact of a higher allocation of expenses to the business segments, less restructuring and increased government sales and other activities in the current year period.

Interest and Other Income (Expense): Interest expense, net of interest income in the first quarter of 2011 decreased $8.7 million when compared to the first quarter of 2010, primarily driven by reduced interest expense due to the recent debt retirements. Other income in the first quarter of 2011 included a $51.6 million gain related to the sale of a portion of the Company's shares of Bucyrus International common stock.

Taxes: The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was approximately 59% compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 32% for the first quarter of 2010. The higher tax rate in the first quarter of 2011, compared to statutory rates, was mainly due to the Company's inability to record tax benefits on losses in certain jurisdictions. Due to the lower absolute value of the 2011 first quarter profit before taxes, the losses not benefited have a more significant impact on the effective tax rate than in the first quarter of 2010.

Capital Structure: The Company's liquidity at March 31, 2011 totaled $1,219.0 million, which comprised cash balances of $723.7 million and borrowing availability under the Company's revolving credit facility of $495.3 million. Liquidity at March 31, 2011 decreased by $178.6 million compared to December 31, 2010 levels of $1,397.6 million, reflecting repayment of debt, increased investing activities and increases in working capital. The sale of the Company's shares of Bucyrus common stock and receipt of a U.S. tax refund, contributed approximately $166 million and $105 million, respectively, to overall liquidity.

Phil Widman, Terex Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our liquidity position remains strong as we enter the early stages of recovery in most of our businesses. We are investing in inventory ahead of our seasonally strong period; however, the Cranes segment continues to struggle with the impacts of shifting customer demand and order patterns, which contributes to inventory management inefficiencies."

Return on Invested Capital(ROIC) was negative 0.1% for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting the operating losses incurred during the period. Cash flow used in operations in the first quarter of 2011 was approximately $77 million, mainly driven by cash used for working capital of approximately $151 million and the net loss from continuing operations, offset partially by $105 million in tax refunds received in the first quarter of 2011. For the comparable period in 2010, cash used in operations was approximately $84 million. Debt, less cash and cash equivalents, decreased approximately $99 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, to approximately $693 million.

Working Capital: Working Capital as a percent of Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales was 36.5% at March 31, 2011, as compared to 31.3% at December 31, 2010, mainly influenced by increased production in anticipation of increased demand in the recovering segments and the impact of seasonal demand. Planned working capital reductions were not achieved in the Cranes segment due mainly to delivery delays. The Company continued to take advantage of early payment discounts from its suppliers where the returns were significantly greater than the amount received from short-term bank deposits.

Backlog: Backlog for orders deliverable during the next twelve months was approximately $1,792 million at March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 46% from March 31, 2010 and an increase of approximately 38% from December 31, 2010.

AWP segment backlog increased approximately 123% and 45% as compared to March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Driving this increase are improved fleet utilizations, replacement of aging fleets and customer concerns about product availability later in the recovery cycle. Order activity is strong across most models in the boom, scissor and telehandler categories.

Construction segment backlog increased approximately 118% and 72% as compared to March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively, primarily due to increased demand for most construction products in the Americas and Russia and material handlers globally.

Cranes segment backlog increased approximately 23% and 30% as compared to March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The majority of these orders are going to large rental customers, with some of these orders coming from new customers ordering products such as the recently launched Roadmaster 9000 truck crane and new boom trucks. The Company is seeing good order demand for rough terrain, boom trucks and tower cranes, especially in North America.

MP segment backlog increased approximately 4% and 31% as compared to March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Materials processing backlog increased due to expected seasonality in the timing of orders as well as low dealer inventories resulting from continued end user financing programs.

The Glossary contains further details regarding backlog.

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, 2011, unless otherwise indicated.

Backlog is defined as firm orders that are expected to be filled within one year. The disclosure of backlog aids in the analysis of the Company's customers' demand for product, as well as the ability of the Company to meet that demand. The backlog of the various Terex businesses is not necessarily indicative of sales to be recognized in a specified future period.

Debt is calculated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion. It is a measure that aids in the evaluation of the Company's financial condition.

						Long term debt, less current portion		$	1,354.3
						Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt			62.8
						Debt		$	1,417.1

EBITDA is defined as earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates this by adding the amount of depreciation and amortization expenses that have been deducted from income from operations back into income from operations to arrive at EBITDA. Depreciation and amortization amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows include amortization of debt issuance costs that are recorded in Other income (expense) - net and, therefore, are not included in EBITDA. Terex believes that disclosure of 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.

Gross Margin is defined as the ratio of Gross Profit to Net Sales.

Operating Margin is defined as the ratio of (Loss) Income from Operations to Net Sales.

Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") is determined by dividing the sum of Net Operating Profit After Tax ("NOPAT") (as defined below) for each of the previous four quarters by the average of the sum of Total stockholders' equity plus Debt (as defined below) less Cash and cash equivalents for the previous five quarters. NOPAT, which is a non-GAAP measure, for each quarter is calculated by multiplying Income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations by a figure equal to one minus the effective tax rate of the Company. The Company believes that earnings from discontinued operations, as well as the net assets that comprise those operations invested capital, should be included in this calculation because it captures the financial returns on its capital allocation decisions for the measured periods. Furthermore, the Company believes that returns on capital deployed in TFS do not represent management of its primary operations and have, therefore, been excluded from the calculation below. Additionally, the Company does not believe that the deferred gain on shares of Bucyrus, held from the sale of our Mining business, is reflective of its ongoing operations and has been excluded from the calculation below. The effective tax rate is equal to the (Provision for) benefit from income taxes divided by Income (loss) before income taxes for the respective quarter. The Company calculates ROIC using the last four quarters' NOPAT as this represents the most recent twelve-month period at any given point of determination. In order for the denominator of the ROIC ratio to properly match the operational period reflected in the numerator, the Company includes the average of five quarters' ending balance sheet amounts so that the denominator includes the average of the opening through ending balances (on a quarterly basis) over the same time period as the numerator (four quarters of average invested capital).

Terex management and the Board of Directors use ROIC as one of the primary measures to assess operational performance and in connection with certain compensation programs. Terex utilizes ROIC as a unifying metric because management believes that it measures how effectively the Company invests its capital and provides a better measure to compare the Company to peer companies to assist in assessing how it drives operational improvement. ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in the Company's primary businesses excluding TFS, as opposed to another metric such as return on Terex Corporation stockholders' equity that only incorporates book equity, and is thus a more accurate and descriptive measure of the Company's performance. Terex also believes that adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Total Terex Corporation stockholders' equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and that ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested.

See reconciliation of adjusted amounts below on table following ROIC table. Amounts are as of and for the three months ended for the periods referenced in the table below.

Total Capitalization is a measure that aids in the evaluation of the Company's balance sheet. It is an integral component of certain financial metrics that are often used to evaluate the Company's valuation, liquidity and overall health. Total capitalization as of March 31, 2011 is defined as the sum of:

- Total Terex Corporation stockholders' equity; and
- Debt (as defined above);
- Less: Cash and cash equivalents.

						Total Terex Corporation stockholders' equity		$	2,157.9
						Debt (as defined above)			1,417.1
						Less: Cash and cash equivalents			(723.7	)
						Total Capitalization		$	2,851.3

Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales is calculated using the net sales for the quarter multiplied by four.

						First Quarter Net Sales		$	1,256.2
						x			4
						Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales		$	5,024.8

Working Capital is calculated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories less Trade accounts payable. The Company views excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources, and seeks to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business. As of March 31, 2011, working capital was:

						Inventories		$	1,565.9
						Trade Receivables			896.6
						Less: Trade Accounts Payable			(626.1	)
						Total Working Capital		$	1,836.4

After-tax gains or expense and per share amounts are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on normal jurisdictional rates to arrive at an after-tax amount. This number is divided by the weighted average diluted shares to provide the impact on earnings per share. The Company assesses the impact of these items because when providing guidance on earnings per share, the items were unknown or excluded.

		Pre-Tax			Tax Rate			After- Tax			EPS
Gain on sale of BUCY shares		51.6			35.7	%		33.2			0.28
Loss on early extinguishment of debt		(6.3	)		35.7	%		(4.1	)		(0.04	)
Restructuring and insolvency		(5.5	)		*			(3.8	)		(0.03	)
