BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Terex is a diversified global manufacturer of capital equipment focused on delivering reliable, customer relevant solutions for the construction, infrastructure, quarrying, mining, shipping, transportation, refining and utility industries. We operate in five reportable segments: (i) Terex Aerial Work Platforms; (ii) Terex Construction; (iii) Terex Cranes; (iv) Terex Materials Processing & Mining; and (v) Terex Roadbuilding, Utility Products and Other.
Our Aerial Work Platforms segment designs, manufactures and markets aerial work platform equipment, telehandlers, light construction equipment and construction trailers. Products include material lifts, portable aerial work platforms, trailer-mounted articulating booms, self-propelled articulating and telescopic booms, scissor lifts, telehandlers, construction trailers, trailer-mounted light towers, power buggies, generators, related components and replacement parts, and other products. Customers in the construction and building maintenance industries use these products to build and/or maintain large physical assets and structures.
Our Construction segment designs, manufactures and markets two primary categories of equipment and their related components and replacement parts: heavy construction equipment (including off-highway trucks, scrapers, hydraulic excavators, large wheel loaders, material handlers and truck mounted articulated hydraulic cranes) and compact construction equipment (including loader backhoes, compaction equipment, mini and midi excavators, site dumpers and wheel loaders). Construction, logging, mining, industrial and government customers use these products in construction and infrastructure projects and in coal, minerals, sand and gravel operations.
Our Cranes segment designs, manufactures and markets mobile telescopic cranes, tower cranes, lattice boom crawler cranes, truck mounted cranes (boom trucks) and telescopic container stackers, as well as their related replacement parts and components. These products are used primarily for construction, repair and maintenance of infrastructure, building and manufacturing facilities. We acquired Power Legend International Limited (“Power Legend”) and its affiliates, including a controlling 50% ownership interest in Sichuan Changjiang Engineering Crane Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Crane”), on April 4, 2006. The results of Power Legend and Sichuan Crane are included in the Cranes segment from their date of acquisition.
Our Materials Processing & Mining segment designs, manufactures and markets crushing and screening equipment (including crushers, impactors, washing systems, screens, trommels and feeders), hydraulic mining excavators, high capacity surface mining trucks, drilling equipment, related components and replacement parts, and other products. Construction, mining, quarrying and government customers use these products in construction and commodity mining. We acquired Halco Holdings Limited and its affiliates (“Halco”) on January 24, 2006, and established the Terex NHL Mining Equipment Company Ltd. (“Terex NHL”) joint venture on March 9, 2006. The results of Halco and Terex NHL are included in the Materials Processing & Mining segment from their date of acquisition and formation, respectively.
Our Roadbuilding, Utility Products and Other segment designs, manufactures and markets asphalt and concrete equipment (including pavers, plants, mixers, reclaimers, stabilizers and profilers), landfill compactors and utility equipment (including digger derricks, aerial devices and cable placers), as well as related components and replacement parts. Government, utility and construction customers use these products to build roads, construct and maintain utility lines, trim trees and for other commercial operations. We also own much of the North American distribution channel for the utility products group through our Terex Utilities distribution network. These operations distribute, install and rent our utility aerial devices and digger derricks as well as other products that service the utility industry. They also provide parts and service support for a variety of our other products, including mixers and aerial devices. We also operate a fleet of rental utility products in the United States and Canada. On April 27, 2007, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Duvalpilot Equipment Outfitters, LLC (“Duvalpilot”), a distributor of our products and other light construction equipment, which we did not already own. Through Terex Financial Services (“TFS”), we also facilitate loans and leases between customers and various financial institutions. In Europe, Terex Financial Services Holding B.V. (“TFSH”), our joint venture with a European financial institution, assists customers in the acquisition of our products.
Included in Eliminations/Corporate are the eliminations among the five segments, as well as certain general and corporate expenses that have not been allocated to the segments.
Overview
We continue to be encouraged by current trends and our performance for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Specifically, we experienced strong sales growth, resulting from continued strong end-markets, previously implemented pricing actions and operational improvements. With regard to sales, a major factor contributing to our performance was the significantly
24
improving economic condition of many of our end-markets and customers, including the global crane market, European demand for compact construction equipment, international demand for aerial work platform products and the market for mobile crushing and screening products, which favorably impacted our financial performance. Global crane and mining equipment demand continues to outpace our current ability to produce and supply product, leading to a large current order backlog. Our construction products have shown signs of improvement relative to the prior year period, as evidenced by our Construction segment’s backlog more than doubling. Our U.S. telehandler and concrete mixer truck businesses continue to experience signs of market contraction, relative to the prior year period.
We anticipate continued strong end-markets for the remainder of 2007, with most products continuing to participate in an expanding global marketplace. For example, we expect opportunities for continued strength internationally in the aerial work platforms and materials processing and mining businesses. Additionally, our crane businesses have been experiencing strong end-market demand globally due to numerous infrastructure initiatives, and they continue to improve their operating performance. Our roadbuilding businesses, and other manufactured products related to infrastructure improvement, other than our concrete mixer truck business, have begun to experience increases in demand, and we expect this to continue throughout 2007. We believe the roadbuilding and utility end-markets are in the early phases of recovery and will offset the slowdown in the concrete mixer truck business, which is impacted by the decline in residential construction spending in the U.S. Our construction businesses are beginning to show improvement in demand. We expect more meaningful short-term improvements from these businesses, as new construction products should contribute to our profitability and growth. Longer term, we plan to build a more cohesive and expansive distribution network and to source production in more efficient and cost effective markets, which should benefit the construction businesses. Specifically, we have scheduled production of compact construction equipment in China to start in the first quarter of 2008.
We continue to implement strategic decisions that are expected to positively contribute to our future financial performance. In December 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our outstanding common shares through June 30, 2008, to reach a more appropriate balance between debt and equity on our balance sheet and we repurchased approximately $25 million of our common stock in the first half of 2007. For the remainder of 2007, we anticipate additional expenditures to support certain business initiatives and objectives, taking advantage of our improved balance sheet position, including expanding the TFS business, developing the Terex “Dealer of the Future” distribution concept and growing Asian manufacturing capability.
In 2005, we introduced the Terex Business System, or “TBS”, an operating initiative aimed at improving our internal processes for the benefit of our customers, stakeholders and team members. The TBS strategy is a long-term initiative to foster continuous improvement in quality, speed and simplicity. We remain committed to delivering strong incremental margin improvements in 2007 by realizing the benefits of pricing actions, volume leverage and an increasingly effective management of supply costs. We will concentrate on the implementation of lean practices across our locations, and continue to strive for a target of 15% working capital investment as a percentage of annualized sales, driven mainly by inventory turn improvement. Working capital is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories less Trade accounts payable. As of June 30, 2007, working capital as a percentage of the current quarter’s annualized net sales was 20.0%, higher than in the prior period, due to supplier constraints and anticipation of delivering increased sales activity in the future. We believe that this calculation is a valuable measurement of efficiency in our use of resources. We remain focused on improving our efficiency in working capital management to enhance cash flow performance, break the supplier challenges to our throughput and improve our demand planning capabilities. As a result, we expect a reduction in our level of inventory as the year progresses.
Return on Invested Capital, or ROIC, continues to be the unifying non-GAAP metric we use to measure our operating performance. ROIC measures how effectively we use money invested in our operations. In the first half of 2007, we achieved an ROIC of 41.7%, compared to 28.9% ROIC in the first half of 2006 and our 2007 ROIC target of 41.9%. ROIC is determined by dividing the last four quarters’ Income from operations (including operating income from discontinued operations) by the average of the sum of total stockholders’ equity plus Debt less Cash and cash equivalents for the last five quarters. Debt is calculated using the amounts for Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On September 29, 2006, we completed the sale of our ownership interest in Terex Czech s.r.o. and Tatra a.s. (collectively, “Tatra”) to a group of private equity investors. Results of Tatra are included as Income from discontinued operations - net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Income from operations | $ | 4.1 | 2.4% | $ | 11.6 | 5.9% | | (64.7)% |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net sales for the Roadbuilding, Utility Products and Other segment for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $26.2 million when compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower demand for concrete mixer trucks resulting from the downturn in North American residential construction markets. We also experienced softer demand for utility products following strong buying activity in 2006 and early 2007 in advance of the Tier III emissions change that took effect at the beginning of the year.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4.1 million when compared to the same period in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales during this period remained flat when compared with the same period in 2006.

Income (loss) from operations | $ | (10.2) | 34.6% | $ | (17.1) | 57.4% | | (40.4)% |
Our consolidated results include the elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. The reduction in loss from operations versus the prior year reflects the increase of approximately $12 million in allocation of corporate costs to the business segments in 2007 versus the prior year. Corporate costs before allocations to the business segments increased, as we continue to invest in Company-wide initiatives, including supply management, manufacturing strategy, an enterprise management system, marketing and TBS.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, our interest expense net of interest income was $11.2 million, or $9.9 million lower than the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily related to a $404.1 million reduction in our debt balance during the year.
Other Income (Expense) – Net
Other income (expense) – net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was an expense of $2.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to non-recurring gains in the prior year related to lease terminations.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized income tax expense of $96.7 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $271.3 million, an effective rate of 35.6%, as compared to income tax expense of $65.1 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $178.3 million, an effective rate of 36.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was lower than in the prior year period, primarily due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and the impact of permanent tax items. There was no income tax expense recorded within Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
In July 2007, legislation was enacted to reduce the statutory tax rates in Germany and the United Kingdom for years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. These statutory tax rate reductions will cause the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in these jurisdictions. The revaluation will cause a one-time increase in deferred tax expense to be recognized in the third quarter of 2007. Viewed in isolation, the German and U.K. statutory rate reductions will reduce the effective tax rate in these jurisdictions in 2008 and thereafter.

Net sales for the Cranes segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $236.0 million when compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in net sales was due to improvement in all businesses and product categories and the favorable impact of 6% due to foreign currency fluctuations. We are also benefiting from pricing actions implemented during 2006. In addition, approximately $28 million of the increase was due to the inclusion of Sichuan Crane, which was acquired in April 2006.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $76.7 million relative to the same period in 2006. Gross profit benefited from increased sales volume, the addition of Sichuan Crane, the positive impact of pricing actions and a larger proportion of higher margin crawler cranes in our sales mix, offset partially by increased material costs.
SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $29.8 million over the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in sales and administrative infrastructure to support increasing sales and production volumes, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, additional allocation of Company-wide initiatives of approximately $9 million, as well as the inclusion of Sichuan Crane, which contributed approximately $3 million of the increase.
Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $46.9 million over the same period in 2006. Income from operations in 2007 was positively impacted by pricing increases in excess of cost pressures from suppliers, the benefit of higher sales volume and the impact of the addition of Sichuan Crane, offset in part by higher operating costs resulting from our significant growth and investment in infrastructure.

| | | | | | | | | |
Net sales in the Materials Processing & Mining segment increased $123.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in net sales was attributable to the continued growth of our crushing and screening product lines worldwide, with the exception of North America, where sales remained essentially flat. Increased drilling product and large mining truck sales, resulting from sustained high levels of commodity prices as well as the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, contributed 3% to the increase.
Gross profit increased $40.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 relative to the comparable period in 2006. Gross profit improved because of increased sales volume, the impact of prior pricing actions and a favorable mix of parts volume, combined with improved manufacturing productivity.
33
SG&A costs increased by $21.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 relative to the comparable period in 2006. The increase in SG&A expense was due to increased personnel and legal costs combined with other infrastructure requirements in support of the segment’s ongoing growth, as well as an additional allocation of corporate costs of approximately $5 million.
Income from operations for the Materials Processing & Mining segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $19.4 million from the comparable period in 2006. The increase was a result of higher demand for mobile commercial grade crushing and screening equipment, drilling equipment and the impact of pricing actions, partially offset by higher operating and selling costs associated with the segment’s growth.

| | | | | | | | | |
Net sales for the Roadbuilding, Utility Products and Other segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $26.4 million when compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in net sales was mainly due to softer demand for concrete mixer trucks resulting from the downturn in the North American residential housing market, partially offset by increased sales of roadbuilding products in Brazil.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4.0 million over the comparable period in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales during this period remained essentially flat when compared to the same period in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was negatively impacted by costs related to the continued wind-down of our re-rental fleet and charges associated with Duvalpilot.
SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $8.6 million when compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was due to higher engineering costs for new product development, increased selling costs in the roadbuilding business and an increase in the corporate cost allocation, as well as continued investment in the administrative support functions in this segment, mainly in the TFS operation.
Income from operations for the Roadbuilding, Utility Products and Other segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $12.6 million when compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease reflects declining concrete mixer truck volume, charges related to the re-rental fleet and Duvalpilot, and higher corporate costs.

| | | | | | | | | |
Our consolidated results include the elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. The reduction in loss from operations versus the prior year reflects the increase of approximately $23 million in the allocation of corporate costs to the business segments in 2007 versus the prior year. Corporate costs before allocations to the business segments increased, as we continue to invest in Company-wide initiatives, including supply management, manufacturing strategy, an enterprise management system, marketing, and TBS.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our interest expense net of interest income was $22.0 million, or $21.4 million lower than the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily related to a $404.1 million reduction in our debt balance during the year.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
We recorded a pre-tax charge on early extinguishment of debt of $12.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, which included a $9.3 million expense associated with the call premium for the repayment of $200 million of outstanding debt on January 15, 2007 and $3.2 million of amortization of debt acquisition costs accelerated because of this debt repayment.
Other Income (Expense) – Net
Other income (expense) – net for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was income of $2.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to gains on the sale of assets recorded during the period.
Income Taxes
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized income tax expense of $164.9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $453.3 million, an effective rate of 36.4%, as compared to income tax expense of $108.9 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $299.0 million, an effective rate of 36.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Income tax expense of $0.8 million was recorded within Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
In July 2007, legislation was enacted to reduce the statutory tax rates in Germany and the United Kingdom for years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. These statutory tax rate reductions will cause the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in these jurisdictions. The revaluation will cause a one-time increase in the effective tax rate to be recognized in the third quarter of 2007. Viewed in isolation, the German and U.K. statutory rate reductions will reduce the effective tax rate in these jurisdictions in 2008 and thereafter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our main sources of funding are cash generated from operations, loans from our bank credit facilities and funds raised in capital markets. We believe that cash generated from operations, together with access to our bank credit facilities and cash on hand, provide adequate liquidity to meet our operating and debt service requirements. We had cash and cash equivalents of $453.4 million at June 30, 2007. In addition, we had $472.9 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2007.
Generating cash from operations depends primarily on our ability to earn net income through the sales of our products and to manage our investment in working capital. We continue to focus on collecting receivables in a timely manner. Consistent with past practice, each quarter we sell receivables to various third party financial institutions through several pre-arranged facilities. During the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, we sold, without recourse, accounts receivable approximating 11% and 12% of our second quarter revenue in 2007 and 2006, respectively, to provide additional liquidity. Discontinuance of these facilities could reduce our liquidity.
We are focused on increasing inventory turns by sharing, throughout our Company, many of the best practices and lean manufacturing processes that several of our business units have implemented successfully. We expect these initiatives to reduce the levels of raw materials and work in process needed to support the business and allow us to reduce our manufacturing lead times, thereby reducing our working capital requirements.
Our ability to generate cash from operations is subject to numerous factors, including the following:
• | Many of our customers fund their purchases through third party finance companies that extend credit based on the credit worthiness of the customers and the expected residual value of our equipment. Changes either in the customers’ credit profile or in used equipment values may impact the ability of customers to purchase equipment. |
• | As our sales levels increase, the absolute amount of working capital needed to support our business may increase, with a corresponding reduction in cash generated by operations. |
35
• | We insure and sell a portion of our accounts receivable to third party finance companies. These third party finance companies are not obligated to purchase accounts receivable from us, and may choose to limit or discontinue further purchases from us at any time. Changes in customers’ credit worthiness, in the market for credit insurance or in the willingness of third party finance companies to purchase accounts receivable from us can impact our cash flow from operations. |
• | Our suppliers extend payment terms to us based on our overall credit rating. Declines in our credit rating may impact suppliers’ willingness to extend terms and in turn increase the cash requirements of our business. |
• | Sales of our products are subject to general economic conditions, weather, competition and foreign currency fluctuations, and other such factors that in many cases are outside our direct control. For example, during periods of economic uncertainty, many of our customers have tended to delay purchasing decisions, which has had a negative impact on cash generated from operations. |
We negotiate, when possible, advance payments from our customers for products with long lead times to help fund the substantial working capital investment in these projects.
Traditionally, in many of our businesses, our customers’ peak buying periods, and as a result our sales in these periods, are in the first half of a calendar year because of their need to have new equipment available for the spring, summer and fall construction seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. However, in 2005 and 2006, we saw a changing trend in seasonality, which we expect to continue in 2007, as we have diversified our product offerings and expanded the geographic reach of our products, making our sales less dependent on construction products and sales in the United States and Europe. In addition, high levels of backlog in a number of our segments led to longer wait times and deliveries being accepted later in the year than typical. As a result, in 2005 and 2006, first and second half sales were relatively equal, and we expect substantially similar results in 2007.
Because of our traditional seasonality, we have tended historically to use cash to fund our operations during the first half of a calendar year and generate cash from operations during the second half of the year. As a result of the changing trend in sales in recent years, there has been an accompanying change in cash patterns as well. In both 2005 and 2006, we used cash to fund our operations in the first quarter of the year and generated cash in the remaining three quarters of the year. We expect cash from operations in 2007 to be substantially similar to the 2005 and 2006 pattern. In addition to cash generated from earnings, we expect our cash flow performance in the second half of 2007 to be heavily influenced by our ability to reduce inventory because of efficiency improvements and the easing of supplier constraints.
In 2007, we expect our income tax payments will increase. In 2005 and 2006, we used net operating losses to reduce our cash income tax payments, most notably in the U.S., Germany and the United Kingdom. The U.S. net operating loss was substantially consumed in 2006. In addition, while net operating losses remain in Germany and the United Kingdom, the cash impact of such losses is estimated to be less significant in 2007 when compared to 2006.
To help fund our traditional seasonal cash pattern, which required significant cash expenditures during the first half of the year, we have historically maintained significant cash balances and a revolving line of credit in addition to term borrowings from our bank group. Our bank credit facilities provide us with a revolving line of credit of up to $700 million that is available through July 14, 2012 and term debt of $200 million that will mature on July 14, 2013. The revolving line of credit consists of $500 million of available domestic revolving loans and $200 million of available multicurrency revolving loans. The credit facilities also provide for incremental loan commitments of up to $300 million, which may be extended at the option of the lenders, in the form of revolving credit loans, term loans or a combination of both. We believe this revolving line of credit should allow us to use a significant amount of our existing cash balance to reduce debt.
Our bank credit facilities require compliance with a number of covenants. These covenants require us to meet certain financial tests, namely (a) to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not in excess of 3.75 to 1.00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter, and (b) to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. The covenants also limit, in certain circumstances, our ability to take a variety of actions, including: incur indebtedness; create or maintain liens on our property or assets; make investments, loans and advances; engage in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset sales; and pay dividends and distributions, including share repurchases. Our bank credit facilities also contain customary events of default.
We are currently in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the bank credit facilities. Our future compliance with our financial covenants under the bank credit facilities will depend on our ability to generate earnings and manage our assets effectively. Our bank credit facilities also have various non-financial covenants, requiring us to refrain from taking certain actions (as described above) and requiring us to take certain actions, such as keeping in good standing our corporate existence, maintaining insurance, and providing our bank lending group with financial information on a timely basis.
36
On January 15, 2007, we redeemed the outstanding $200 million principal amount of our 9-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “9-1/4% Notes”). The total cash paid was $218.5 million, and included a call premium of 4.625%, as set forth in the indenture for the 9-1/4% Notes, plus accrued interest of $46.25 per $1,000 principal amount at the redemption date. We recorded pre-tax charges of $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 for the call premium and accelerated amortization of debt acquisition costs as a loss on early extinguishment of debt.
The interest rates charged under our bank credit facilities are subject to adjustment based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding portion of the revolving credit component under our bank credit facilities was 8.25% and 5.32% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the term loans under the bank credit facilities was 7.11% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
We have also positioned ourselves to repurchase some of our outstanding common stock as conditions warrant. In December 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our outstanding common shares through June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we repurchased 309,200 shares for $24.6 million under this program.
We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a balance between fixed and floating rate debt, including the use of interest rate derivatives when appropriate. Over the long term, we believe this mix will produce lower interest cost than a purely fixed rate mix without substantially increasing risk.
We continue to review our alternatives to improve capital structure and to reduce debt service costs through a combination of debt refinancing, asset sales and the sale of non-strategic businesses. Our ability to access the capital markets to raise funds, through the sale of equity or debt securities, is subject to various factors, some specific to us, and others related to general economic and/or financial market conditions. These include results of operations, projected operating results for future periods and debt to equity leverage. In July 2007, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to allow for easier access to the capital markets. Our ability to access the capital markets is also subject to our timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC. In addition, the terms of our bank credit facility and senior subordinated notes restrict our ability to make further borrowings and to sell substantial portions of our assets.
Cash Flows
Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $89.0 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $108.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in cash used resulted from: higher working capital due to logistics issues related to our increased level of international business, which is causing longer transport times; certain supplier constraints limiting production throughput; and payment of certain longer-term incentive compensation and taxes in the first half of 2007. Cash usage in the first half is consistent with our expectation that cash flow will continue to closely reflect the seasonal trends of our business.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $34.3 million, or $39.4 million less than cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a cash payment for an acquisition in the prior year period as well as receipt of proceeds from the sale of assets in the current year period, offset in part by higher capital expenditures in the current year.
We used cash for financing activities of $113.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $84.5 million. The change in financing cash flows was primarily due to the repayment of $200 million principal amount of the 9-1/4% Notes in the six months ended June 30, 2007, and share repurchases in the current year, offset by net borrowings under our credit facilities invested in working capital in support of our strong order backlog.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Guarantees
Our customers, from time to time, may fund the acquisition of our equipment through third-party finance companies. In certain instances, we may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company, by which we agree to make payments to the finance company should the customer default. Our maximum liability is generally limited to the remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default. In the event of customer default, we are generally able to dispose of the equipment at a minimal loss, if any, to the Company.
37
As of June 30, 2007, our maximum exposure to such credit guarantees was $209.6 million, including total credit guarantees issued by Terex Demag, part of our Cranes segment, and Genie, part of our Aerial Work Platforms segment, of $147.7 million and $32.5 million, respectively. The terms of these guarantees coincide with the financing arranged by the customer and generally do not exceed five years. Given our position as the original equipment manufacturer and our knowledge of end markets, when called upon to fulfill a guarantee, we have generally been able to liquidate the financed equipment at a minimal loss, if any.
We issue, from time to time, residual value guarantees under sales-type leases. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date. As described in Note O – “Litigations and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our maximum exposure related to residual value guarantees under sales-type leases was $40.3 million at June 30, 2007. We are able to mitigate the risk associated with these guarantees because the maturity of the guarantees is staggered, which limits the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.
We guarantee, from time to time, that we will buy equipment from our customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer. Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees. These conditions generally pertain to the functionality and state of repair of the machine. As of June 30, 2007, our maximum exposure pursuant to buyback guarantees was $125.9 million. We are able to mitigate the risk of these guarantees because the timing of the buybacks is staggered and through leveraging our access to the used equipment markets provided by our original equipment manufacturer status.
We have recorded an aggregate liability within Other current liabilities and Retirement plan and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $17 million for the estimated fair value of all guarantees provided as of June 30, 2007.
Variable Interest Entities
We own a forty percent (40%) interest in the TFSH joint venture. A European financial institution owns the majority sixty percent (60%) interest in TFSH. As defined by Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” TFSH is a variable interest entity. Based on the legal, financial and operating structure of TFSH, we have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of TFSH and that we do not control the operations of TFSH. Accordingly, we do not consolidate the results of TFSH into our consolidated financial results. We apply the equity method of accounting for our investment in TFSH. The scope of TFSH’s operations includes the opportunity to facilitate the financing of our products sold in certain areas of Europe.
As of June 30, 2007, TFSH had total assets of approximately $485 million, consisting primarily of financing receivables and lease related equipment, and total liabilities of approximately $438 million, consisting primarily of debt issued by the joint venture partner. Prior to March 31, 2006, we provided guarantees related to potential losses arising from shortfalls in the residual values of financed equipment or credit defaults by the joint venture’s customers. As of June 30, 2007, the maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees was approximately $18 million. Additionally, we are required to maintain a capital account balance in TFSH, pursuant to the terms of the joint venture, which could result in our reimbursement to TFSH of losses to the extent of our ownership percentage.
Sale-Leaseback Transactions
Our rental business typically rents equipment to customers for periods of no less than three months. To better match cash outflows in the rental business to cash inflows from customers, we finance the equipment through a series of sale-leasebacks classified as operating leases. The leaseback period is typically 60 months in duration. At June 30, 2007, the historical cost of equipment being leased back from the financing companies was approximately $51 million and the minimum lease payments for the remainder of 2007 will be approximately $6 million.
CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
Foreign Currencies and Interest Rate Risk
Our products are sold in over 100 countries around the world and, accordingly, our revenues are generated in foreign currencies, while the costs associated with those revenues are only partly incurred in the same currencies. The major foreign currencies, among others, in which we do business, are the Euro and British Pound. We may, from time to time, hedge specifically identified committed and forecasted cash flows in foreign currencies using forward currency sale or purchase contracts. At June 30, 2007, we had foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $1,112.0 million.
38
We manage exposure to interest rates by incurring a mix of indebtedness bearing interest at both floating and fixed rates at inception and maintaining an on-going balance between floating and fixed rates on this mix of indebtedness using interest rate swaps when necessary.
Certain of our obligations, including our senior subordinated notes, bear interest at a fixed interest rate. We entered into an interest rate agreement to convert a fixed rate to a floating rate with respect to $200 million of the principal amount of our indebtedness under our 7-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes. To maintain an appropriate balance between floating and fixed rate obligations on our mix of debt, we exited this interest rate swap agreement on January 15, 2007 and paid $5.4 million. We recorded this loss as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged debt and we are amortizing it through the debt maturity date.
Other
We are subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including, without limitation, product liability claims, workers’ compensation liability, intellectual property litigation, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and guarantees. Many of the exposures are unasserted or the proceedings are at a preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or timing of any of our costs. However, we do not believe that these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of our liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.
We generate hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the normal course of our manufacturing operations. As a result, we are subject to a wide range of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern actions that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, and also require compliance with certain practices when handling and disposing of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. These laws and regulations also impose liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances, should any of such events occur. No such incidents have occurred which required us to pay material amounts to comply with such laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations has required, and will continue to require, us to make expenditures. We do not expect that these expenditures will have a material adverse effect on our business or profitability.
On February 1, 2006, we received a copy of a written order of a private investigation from the SEC with respect to our accounting. We have been cooperating with the SEC and will continue to cooperate fully to furnish the SEC staff with information needed to complete their investigation.
We have also received a subpoena from the SEC dated May 9, 2005, in a matter entitled “In the Matter of United Rentals, Inc.” The subpoena principally requested information to assist the SEC in its investigation of four transactions involving us and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and United Rentals, on the other, in 2000 and 2001. We are also cooperating fully with this investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s office responsible for this matter also has requested information from us about these transactions and we are fully cooperating with this request.
On November 2, 2006 and January 19, 2007, we received subpoenas from the United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (“DOJ”) with respect to its investigation into pricing practices in the rock crushing and screening equipment industry. We have been cooperating fully with the DOJ and will continue to cooperate fully to furnish the DOJ staff with information needed to complete their investigation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3 (“EITF No. 06-3”), “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” The classification in the income statement of taxes is considered an accounting policy and any change in presentation would require the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” In addition, under the scope of EITF No. 06-3, significant taxes recorded in the Statement of Operations would require disclosure of the accounting policy elected and amounts reflected in gross revenue for all periods presented. Provisions of EITF No. 06-3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2007. Adoption of EITF No. 06-3 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years
39
beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2007. See Note C – “Income Taxes” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of adoption of FIN No. 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to certain market risks that exist as part of our ongoing business operations and we use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. As a matter of policy, we do not engage in trading or speculative transactions. For further information on accounting policies related to derivative financial instruments, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third party purchases and sales, intercompany product shipments and intercompany loans. We are also exposed to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency investments in subsidiaries and cash flows related to repatriation of these investments. Additionally, we are exposed to volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. Dollars. Primary exposures include the U.S. Dollar versus functional currencies of our major markets, which include the Euro and British Pound. We assess foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows and identify naturally offsetting positions and purchase hedging instruments to protect anticipated exposures. At June 30, 2007, we had foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $1,112.0 million. The fair market value of these arrangements, which represents the cost to settle these contracts, was a net loss of $2.7 million at June 30, 2007.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed rate debt and existing issuances of variable rate debt. Primary exposure includes movements in the U.S. prime rate and London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”). We manage interest rate risk by incurring a mix of indebtedness bearing interest at both floating and fixed rates at inception and maintain an on-going balance between floating and fixed rates on this mix of indebtedness through the use of interest rate swaps when necessary. At June 30, 2007, approximately 50% of our debt was floating rate debt and the weighted average interest rate for all debt was approximately 7.40%.
At December 31, 2006, we had a $200.0 million interest rate swap that converted a fixed rate to a floating rate. In order to maintain an appropriate balance between floating and fixed rate obligations on our mix of debt, we exited this interest rate swap agreement on January 15, 2007 and paid $5.4 million. We recorded this loss as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged debt and we are amortizing it through the debt maturity date.
At June 30, 2007, we performed a sensitivity analysis for our derivatives and other financial instruments that have interest rate risk. We calculated the pretax earnings effect on our interest sensitive instruments. Based on this sensitivity analysis, we have determined that an increase of 10% in our average floating interest rates at June 30, 2007 would have increased interest expense by approximately $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Commodities Risk
Principal materials that we use in our various manufacturing processes include steel, castings, engines, tires, hydraulic cylinders, drive trains, electric controls and motors, and a variety of other commodities and fabricated or manufactured items. Our performance may be impacted by extreme movements in material costs and from availability of these materials. As our
40
manufacturing volume has increased, our need for these commodities and manufactured items also has increased, which in turn has created pressure on our existing supplier base to deliver us materials on a timely basis and in sufficient amounts when requested. This supply constraint has been exacerbated because of higher global demand for the same materials caused by recovering end-markets in our product areas and by higher consumption from emerging economies such as China. The inability of suppliers to deliver materials promptly has resulted, and could result, in production delays and increased costs to manufacture our products. Some of the necessary components for which we have experienced supply constraints over the recent past include large off-highway tires, steel and steel products, bearings, gear boxes and various fabricated weldments. Furthermore, as demand for these materials has increased, we have experienced increased costs to obtain these components.
In the absence of labor strikes or other unusual circumstances, substantially all materials are normally available from multiple suppliers. Current and potential suppliers are evaluated on a regular basis on their ability to meet our requirements and standards. We actively manage our material supply sourcing, and may employ various methods to limit risk associated with commodity cost fluctuations and availability. To address some of the recent supply constraints we have experienced, for example, we designed and implemented plans to mitigate their impact by using alternate suppliers, leveraging our overall purchasing volumes to obtain favorable quantities and costs, and increasing the price of our products. We continue to search for acceptable alternative supply sources and less expensive supply options on a regular basis. One key TBS initiative has been developing and implementing world-class capability in supply chain management, logistics and global purchasing. We are focusing on gaining efficiencies with suppliers based on our global purchasing power and resources.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, as of June 30, 2007, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2007 because of the material weakness discussed below. Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
There were changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As of June 30, 2007, a material weakness was defined as a significant control deficiency, or combination of significant control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for income taxes. Remediation of this weakness had not yet been fully evidenced and therefore this material weakness continued to exist as of June 30, 2007. Subsequently, the definition of material weakness has been revised as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In response to the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2006, we have taken a number of substantial actions and will continue to take further significant steps to strengthen our control processes and procedures in order to remediate such material weakness. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and will take further action as appropriate.
The following are among the specific actions taken in our internal control over financial reporting processes during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to address the material weakness in accounting for income taxes identified as of December 31, 2006:
| • | Based on our controls testing performed as of March 31, 2007, we refined our key tax controls and supporting documentation, which will be tested on an ongoing quarterly basis. |
41
| • | We developed a more robust internal checklist and questionnaire process to capture and assess information about local business unit and external events that could impact the Company’s income tax provision. In addition, we developed a quarterly FIN No. 48 data collection model to periodically update our FIN No. 48 provision and associated balances. |
| • | We hired a U.S. based senior tax manager and a tax manager based in the United Kingdom to improve our internal tax resource capability. |
We intend to take further actions to remediate the material weakness identified above as existing as of December 31, 2006, including:
| • | Continue the process of validating foreign tax balances by completing the foreign accrual to tax return reconciliation process on a more timely basis. |
| • | Quarterly testing of the key tax controls to ascertain effectiveness, identify potential deficiencies and mitigating controls, and to further enhance our existing processes. |
| • | Recruit additional tax personnel in key areas to keep pace with the growth and complexity of our global operations and regulations. |
| • | Hold additional tax training sessions for tax and financial personnel. |
| • | Simplify our legal and reporting entity structure to reduce complexity in the tax reporting processes. |
| • | Complete the testing of our annual tax provisioning processes for the year ending December 31, 2007, validating the changes we have previously implemented. |
The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.
We will continue to develop new policies and procedures as well as educate and train our team members on our existing policies and procedures in a continual effort to improve our internal control over financial reporting, and will be taking further actions as appropriate. We view this as an ongoing effort to which we will be devoting significant resources and which will need to be maintained and updated over time.
We believe that the foregoing actions have improved and will continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures.
PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
We are involved in certain claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, which are not considered material to our financial operations or cash flow. For information concerning litigation and other contingencies see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contingencies and Uncertainties.”
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a risk factor entitled “We currently face limitations on our ability to access the capital markets using short form SEC documents.” As of May 31, 2007, this risk factor no longer applies, as we regained the ability to access the capital markets using short-form SEC documents as of such date. There have been no other material changes to our risk factors in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
