Terex Corporation has announced its results for the third quarter 2025.
Third Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
- Bookings of $1 billion grew 57% year over year on a pro forma basis and reflects a book-to-bill of 72%, consistent with historical seasonal booking patterns.
- Net sales of $1.4 billion were 14.4% higher than the third quarter of 2024. Excluding ESG, our legacy revenue declined by 8.2% year over year in line with our expectation driven by lower demand in Aerials and MP.
- Operating profit was $140 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared to $122 million, or 10.1% of net sales in the prior year. Adjusted1 operating profit was $168 million, or 12.1% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $127 million, or 10.5% of net sales in the prior year. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the addition of ESG partially offset by lower operating performance in Aerials and MP.
- Net income was $65 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to $88 million, or $1.31 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. The current quarter included a favorable impact from a discrete item in Aerials of approximately $18 million, or $0.21 per share. Adjusted1 net income was $100 million, or $1.50 per share for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $98 million, or $1.46 per share, in the third quarter of 2024.
- Return on invested capital of 11.9% continues to exceed our cost of capital.
Business Segment Review
Aerials
- Net sales of $537 million were down 13.2% or $82 million year over year, primarily due to lower volume in North America as rental customers deployed less capital expenditure, focusing primarily on replacement requirements.
- Operating profit of $45 million, or 8.4% of net sales, was down from $63 million, or 10.2% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit was $50 million, or 9.2% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $65 million, or 10.5% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, unfavorable mix and tariffs, partially offset by a discrete item of approximately $18 million pertaining to the release of a customs-related contingency and cost reduction actions.
Materials Processing
- Net sales of $417 million were down 6.1% or $27 million year over year in line with expectations, primarily due to lower volume in our North America concrete business.
- Operating profit was $52 million, or 12.5% of net sales, compared to $56 million, or 12.6% of net sales, in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit was $51 million, or 12.4% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $59 million, or 13.3% of net sales in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by cost reduction actions.
Environmental Solutions
- Net sales of $435 million were up 13.6% on a pro forma basis compared to Q3 2024, driven by strong throughput and delivery of refuse collection vehicles (RCVs).
- Operating profit was $58 million or 13.3% of net sales. Adjusted1 operating profit was $79 million or 18.3% of net sales for the third quarter of 2025, a 160 basis point improvement over the pro forma results in Q3 20242, reflecting continued margin improvements in both ESG and Terex Utilities.
Strong Liquidity
- Strong free cash flow generation of $130 million, up from $88 million in the prior year period, representing a cash conversion rate of 200%.
- As of September 30, 2025, liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving line of credit) was $1.3 billion.
- During the third quarter of 2025, Terex deployed $24 million in capital expenditures and investments to support future business growth and operational improvements.
- Through September 30, 2025, Terex has returned $87 million to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $38.74 per share leaving approximately $183 million available for repurchase under our share repurchase programs.
CFO Com mentary
“I was very pleased with our strong cash flow generation in Q3, achieving 200% cash conversion in the quarter and 100% year-to-date, which supported continued execution of our differentiated capital allocation strategy, returning value to shareholders while continuing to invest for longer-term organic growth,” commented Jennifer Kong-Picarello, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Looking ahead, bookings across the company have returned to normal seasonal patterns with year-over-year pro forma growth of 57% and healthy backlog supports our Q4 sales outlook. We expect higher tariff-related costs in Q4 largely due to the expanded scope of the 232 steel and aluminum tariff that was announced in mid-August. We now expect the full year net unfavorable impact of tariffs on EPS to be approximately $0.70. Assuming that tariffs broadly remain at current rates, we continue to maintain our full year EPS outlook of $4.70 to $5.10.”

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.
