/PRNewswire/ — Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022.

CEO Commentary
“The fourth quarter marked an excellent finish to a strong year for Terex. We successfully navigated complex global macro dynamics to deliver significant revenue and earnings growth. I would like to thank the Terex team members for their hard work, dedication, and resilience in managing through this environment. Our 2022 results showcase the strength of our portfolio of diverse market-leading businesses and our continued leadership in attractive growth markets,” said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr.

“We were able to achieve price cost neutrality for the full-year, despite global supply chain disruptions and considerable inflationary pressures. Our team remains focused on executing our multi-year growth plan as highlighted at our December Investor Day. We entered 2023 with backlog of $4.1 billion, an increase of 22% year-over-year, clearly showing strong demand from our customers. Our globally recognized brands, industry-leading and innovative new products, robust backlog, and balance sheet position us well to manage our business amidst continued macroeconomic volatility. We expect 2023 sales to be between $4.6 and $4.8 billion and earnings per share to be between $4.60 and $5.00 as we capitalize on favorable megatrends and continue to deliver profitable growth.”

Fourth Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 23%, compared to $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increased demand for our products and improved price realization necessary to mitigate rising costs across all segments, which was partially offset by an 8.3% negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.
• Income from operations of $120.8 million, or 9.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2022, improved from $69.8 million, or 7.0% of net sales, in the prior year. The year-over-year increase of $51.0 million was driven by incremental margin achieved on higher sales volume, favorable mix, and price realization which more than offset cost increases and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates during the quarter.
• Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $92.0 million, or $1.34 per share, compared to $58.0 million, or $0.82 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. EPS was up 63% year-over-year.
• Our effective tax in the quarter was 13.0% due to one-time discrete items including the reversal of a valuation reserve.

Full-Year 2022 Operational and Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $4.4 billion for the full-year 2022 increased 13.7% compared to $3.9 billion in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to healthy demand for our products across multiple businesses and price realization, necessary to mitigate rising costs, across all segments, which was partially offset by a 6.3% negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.
• Income from operations of $420.0 million, or 9.5% of net sales in the full-year 2022, improved from $328.0 million or 8.4% of net sales in the prior year.
• Income from continuing operations for the full-year 2022 was $300.2 million, or $4.32 per share, compared to $217.5 million, or $3.07 per share, in the prior year. 2022 EPS was up 41% year-over-year, but negatively impacted by $0.42 per share of foreign exchange.
• Return on invested capital of 21.3% significantly exceeded our cost of capital as we continued to invest in the business and return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
• Our effective tax rate for the year was 18.1% due to one-time discrete items including the reversal of a valuations reserve.

CFO Commentary

The expansion of our share repurchase program announced in December and the 15% increase in our dividend which we announced today reflect continued confidence of both management and the Board in our strong financial position and ability to drive sustainable, profitable growth going forward. Our net financial leverage of 1.0x, ample liquidity and sustainable free cash flow generation put us in a very strong position to achieve our 2023 financial targets and continue executing on our multi-year growth plan.”

GLOSSARY

Non-GAAP Measures Definitions
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, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.

As changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on our financial results, we believe excluding effects of these changes assists in assessment of our business results between periods. We calculate the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes by translating current period results using rates that the comparable prior periods were translated at to isolate the foreign exchange component of the fluctuation from the operational component. Similarly, the impact of changes in our results from acquisitions and divestitures that were not included in comparable prior periods may be subtracted from the absolute change in results to allow for better comparability of results between periods.

2023 Outlook
The Company’s 2023 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 2023 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.

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. 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):

ROIC
ROIC and other Non-GAAP Measures (as calculated below) assist in showing how effectively we utilize capital invested in our operations. ROIC is determined by dividing the sum of NOPAT for each of the previous four quarters by the average of Debt less Cash and cash equivalents plus Stockholders’ equity for the previous five quarters.  NOPAT for each quarter is calculated by multiplying Income (loss) from operations by one minus the full year 2022 effective tax rate (“Effective Tax Rate”).

Furthermore, debt is calculated using amounts for Current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion. We calculate ROIC using the last four quarters’ NOPAT as this represents the most recent 12-month period at any given point of determination. In order for the denominator of the ROIC ratio to properly match the operational period reflected in the numerator, we include the average of five quarters’ ending balance sheet amounts so that the denominator includes the average of the opening through ending balances (on a quarterly basis) thereby providing, over the same time period as the numerator, four quarters of average invested capital.

Our management and Board of Directors use ROIC as one measure to assess operational performance, including in connection with certain compensation programs. We use ROIC as a metric because we believe it measures how effectively we invest our capital and provides a better measure to compare ourselves to peer companies to assist in assessing how we drive operational improvement. We believe ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in our businesses and is an accurate and descriptive measure of our performance. We also believe adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Stockholders’ equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested.  As the tables below show, our ROIC at December 31, 2022 was 21.3%.

Amounts described below are reported in millions of U.S. dollars, except for the Effective Tax Rate.  Amounts are as of and for the three months ended for the periods referenced in the tables below:

Working Capital
Working Capital is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories, less Trade accounts payable and Customer advances. The Company views excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources and seeks to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business. For the periods below, working capital was:

Trailing Three Months Annualized Net Sales is calculated using the net sales for the quarter multiplied by four.

The ratio is calculated by dividing working capital by trailing three months annualized net sales. The Company believes this measures its resource use efficiency.

Performance Measures Definitions
We use the following operational metrics in monitoring the performance of our business. We believe the operational metrics are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments.

Backlog
We define backlog as firm orders that are expected to be filled, including orders that are expected to be filled beyond one year, although there can be no assurance that all such backlog orders will be filled. Our backlog orders represent primarily new equipment orders.  Parts orders are generally filled on an as ordered basis.

Our management views backlog as one of many indicators of the performance of our business. Because many variables can cause changes in backlog and these changes may or may not be of any significance, we consequently view backlog as an important, but not necessarily determinative, indicator of future results.
