Forward guidance
Terex anticipates net sales of approximately $5.4 billion with a segment operating margin of about 12% and EBITDA of roughly $660 million. Earnings per share are expected to be between $4.70 and $5.10.
Tailwinds
- Expect overall growth in 2025 with the full-year contribution of ESG.
- Anticipate MP to achieve decremental margins well within our 25% target.
- Utilities demand remains strong with backlog stretching into 2026.
- Expect a significant increase in free cash flow compared to 2024, anticipating between $300 and $350 million in 2025 driven by working capital reductions and a full year of ESG cash generation.
- ESG had a strong fourth quarter and we expect that momentum to carry into 2025 combining with Utilities to generate mid-single-digit sales growth for the ES segment.
Headwinds
- Expect 2025 earnings per share of between $4.70 and $5.10 on lower legacy volume, partially offset by accretive ESG growth.
- Interest and other expenses will increase compared to 2024 due to acquisition related financing to an expected full year total of about $175 million.
- We expect a slower start to the year, delivering about 10% of our full year earnings per share in the first quarter.
- We expect sales to be down low double digits compared to $2.4 billion in 2024 for Aerials.
- We expect MP sales to be down high single digits compared to the prior year, Europe to remain generally weak with North America starting slowly then picking up steam as the year unfolds.
