Terex Announces Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2020 Results

February 11, 2021
-- REINSTATES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
-- PROVIDES FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2021

NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced fourth quarter 2020 income from continuing operations of $14.9 million, or $0.21 per share, on net sales of $786.7 million.  In the fourth quarter of 2019, the reported income from continuing operations was $18.5 million, or $0.26 per share, on net sales of $885.0 million.  Income from continuing operations, as adjusted, for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $25.7 million, or $0.36 per share.  The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details regarding these non-GAAP measures.

For the full year 2020, Terex reported income from continuing operations of $9.0 million, or $0.13 per share, on net sales of $3.1 billion compared with income from continuing operations of $209.7 million, or $2.92 per share, on net sales of $4.4 billion for the full year 2019.  Income from continuing operations, as adjusted, for the full year 2019 was $233.5 million, or $3.25 per share.

AWP's fourth quarter 2020 results reflected modestly improving customer sentiment in the segment's largest markets, North America and Europe. Restructuring charges impacted AWP operating margins in the quarter. Materials Processing demonstrated strong operational performance by delivering operating margins of 15% in the quarter, while sales were down 3%.

"Despite the challenges associated with managing through the pandemic, Terex delivered another quarter of improving operating performance" said John Garrison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I would like to thank the Terex team members, dealers and suppliers throughout the world who have helped us safely maintain our operations and serve customers. Because of their contributions, Terex entered 2021 well positioned for growth. Terex will continue to deliver to our customers innovative products and solutions that yield superior productivity and return on investment."

Additionally, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had reinstated its quarterly dividend for 2021. The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend is to be paid on March 19, 2021 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2021.

John Sheehan, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "Through aggressive working capital management, we were able to generate over $140 million of free cash flow in 2020. Our disciplined liquidity management supported Terex entering 2021 in a very strong financial position, with $670 million of cash and over $1.1 billion of total available liquidity.  We will use this liquidity to fund our growth opportunities.  Our strong balance sheet and expected 2021 free cash flow generation of approximately $100 million allowed our Board of Directors to reinstate our quarterly dividend for 2021."  

Mr. Garrison continued, "Our entire organization is focused on delivering margin expansion in 2021 by realizing the benefits of our previously announced cost actions along with improved customer demand and production volumes. Renewed optimism and improved customer sentiment will drive customer demand for Terex's products and services. As a result, our expectations are that 2021 sales will be approximately $3.45 billion, and EPS will be approximately $1.95 to $2.35."  

Mr. Garrison concluded, "We are confident that the Company is well positioned with its operating strategy to drive improved execution, profitability, innovation and growth in 2021."

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.  Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. 

The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details about this subject.

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 share data and percentages), and are as of or for the period ended December 31, 2020, unless otherwise indicated.

2021 Outlook

The Company's 2021 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, and other unusual items. The Company is not able to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to its 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 2021 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's EPS expectations excluding unusual items that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operations.

After-tax gains or losses and per share amounts 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 ongoing operating activities in the periods.  Restructuring and related charges are a recurring item as Terex's restructuring programs usually require more than one year to fully implement and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency.  Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to varying levels of restructuring activity and the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.

Free Cash Flow  The Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow.  The Company defines free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, plus (minus) increases (decreases) in Terex Financial Services finance receivables consisting of sales-type leases and commercial loans ("TFS Assets"), less Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets (excluding the acquisition of our Northern Ireland properties), plus the estimated level of net working capital in divested businesses at the closing date.  The Company believes that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations.

The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):
