Terex Materials Processing shares Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

Following Terex Corporation’s release of its fourth quarter and full year 2017 results, Terex Materials Processing (MP) is pleased to share these, along with its segment-specific results.

Terex Corporation reported a strong finish to the year, with Q4 net sales of nearly $1.1 billion, +9.1% versus 2016 thanks to improving market demand and successful implementation of the company’s transformation strategy. For the full year, Terex reported net sales of $4.4 billion – down 1.8% from 2016 due to the sale of non-core businesses and softness in its mobile cranes business. The positive year-end momentum is poised to continue with the company reporting backlog up by 56% at year end.

The Materials Processing business segment continued to be a strong contributor to Terex Corporation’s overall results with net sales up nearly +20% in the fourth quarter and +13.6% for the full year while backlog was up by 47%. The business benefitted from growth in several of its product lines including crushing & screening, environmental equipment and its Fuchs® material handlers

“The fourth quarter marked an excellent finish to an important year for Terex with profitability increasing significantly,” remarked John L. Garrison, Terex President and CEO.   “We continued to simplify the company to enhance efficiency and make it easier for our customers to do business with us. We reduced administrative expenses while increasing investment in innovation, strategic sourcing, and commercial excellence.”
