Q1 Results

In the last reported quarter, Terex’s earnings and revenues increased year over year. The bottom and top lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 27.1%.

Key Factors

Terex has been benefiting from a robust backlog and strong end-market demand over the past few quarters. This is expected to have supported its top-line performance in the second quarter. Our model predicts the total backlog to be $3.9 billion in the quarter.

Growth is also expected to have been driven by the company’s efforts to overcome supply disruptions and increase production. Price hikes and cost reductions are likely to have helped offset inflationary pressures and aided earnings in the quarter.

The Material Processing segment’s revenues are likely to have been driven by robust end-market demand across minerals processing, material handling and lifting, environmental, and concrete. Our model predicts the segment’s revenues to grow 11.8% year over year to $537 million in the quarter under review. Our projection for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $94 million, indicating a year-over-year increase of 18.2%.

The Aerial Work Platforms segment has been witnessing continued strong global demand, driven by fleet replacement and growth. This is likely to have aided growth in the second quarter as well.

We expect revenues of $691 million for the segment, suggesting an increase of 15.6% from the prior year’s actual. Estimates for operating income are pinned at $86 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 85.5%.

TEX’s performance has likely been impacted by ongoing material shortages and production delays in the earlier quarters. However, supply chain issues have shown signs of easing lately. This is likely to have benefitted the company’s second-quarter performance.
