Terex Corporation has recently unveiled its robust financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, showcasing significant advancements in its diversified industrial equipment portfolio. The company reported impressive sales figures alongside strong adjusted earnings per share, underscoring its strategic resilience amidst evolving market dynamics.
A key highlight was the reported net sales reaching $1.5 billion, marking a substantial increase of 7.6% compared to the second quarter of 2024. This growth was notably propelled by the successful integration and performance of its Environmental Solutions (ES) segment, which surpassed initial outlooks with exceptional sales and margin contributions, proving the effectiveness of Terex’s strategic acquisitions.
Despite industry-wide challenges, particularly within the Aerials segment where independent rental customers curtailed capital expenditures, Terex managed to maintain a solid financial footing. The Materials Processing (MP) segment demonstrated commendable sequential growth and margin improvement, aligning precisely with the company’s internal projections and further solidifying its operational efficiency.
The financial results also reflected a strong adjusted operating profit of 11.0% of net sales for the second quarter, demonstrating effective cost management and strategic operational adjustments. While legacy revenue saw a decline of 12% year-over-year, this was anticipated due to ongoing channel adjustments and specific backlog conversion timings, which the company effectively navigated.
From an earnings perspective, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) stood at a robust $1.49, providing a clear indication of the company’s profitability and shareholder value creation. Furthermore, the Board of Directors authorized a new $150 million share repurchase program, reinforcing Terex’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders and reflecting confidence in its long-term growth trajectory and financial stability.
Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Kong-Picarello emphasized the strong cash flow generation, achieving an impressive 108% cash conversion in the second quarter. This robust cash position supports a balanced capital allocation strategy, enabling continued investment in organic growth initiatives while simultaneously delivering value back to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Looking ahead, Terex maintains its full-year adjusted EPS outlook of $4.70 to $5.10, signaling a confident projection for continued performance. The company’s global footprint and ongoing strategic implementations, including the successful integration of ESG, are expected to foster a more resilient and predictable operational model, positioning Terex favorably for future economic landscapes.
Terex continues to be a global leader in industrial equipment, specializing in materials processing machinery, waste and recycling solutions, mobile elevating work platforms, and equipment for the electric utility industry. Its focus remains on delivering innovative products and comprehensive lifecycle support, enhancing customer return on investment, and contributing to environmental sustainability through advanced solutions.
