Revenues in the reported quarter increased 30% year over year to $994 million but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,018 million.
Cost of goods sold increased 32% year over year to $815 million. Gross profit went up 22% year over year to $178 million.
Terex Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $104 million in the quarter under review, down 5% from the prior-year quarter. Terex reported an operating profit of $74.2 million, which soared 103% from $36.5 million in the last-year quarter.
Segmental Performance
The Aerial Work Platforms segment generated revenues of $573 million in the reported quarter, up 29% from the year-ago quarter. The segment reported an operating profit of $35 million compared with the prior-year quarter’s $13 million.
The Material Processing segment’s revenues totaled $419 million, reflecting year-over-year growth of 34%. The segment reported an operating income of $57 million, up 42% year over year.
Financial Position
Terex had cash and cash equivalents of $553 million as of Sep 30, 2021, compared with $665 million as of Dec 31, 2020. The company generated $324 million of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 compared with $89 million in the prior-year comparable period. Long-term debt was $888 million as of Sep 30, 2021, compared with $1,166.2 million as of Dec 31, 2020.
Guidance
The company noted that end-market demand remains strong backed by the significant year-over-year growth in orders, backlog and a robust book-to-bill ratio. However, its ability to meet this high level of demand is being impacted by the ongoing supply chain, labor, freight and logistics challenges. The company continues to implement price hikes and cut down costs. Due to the current scenario, Terex lowered guidance for 2021 earnings per share to the range of $2.75 to $2.85, from the prior expectation of $2.85-$3.05.
The company now expects sales to be around $3.85 billion in 2021, down from its previous expectation of $3.9 billion in 2021.
