Terex Corp. to Merge with REV Group, Pursue Strategic Options to Exit the Aerials Business

Terex Corp. and REV Group today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to merge in a stock and cash transaction to form a leading specialty equipment manufacturer.

The merger will create a diversified leader in emergency, waste, utilities, environmental and materials processing equipment with attractive end markets characterized by low cyclicality, resilient demand and long-term growth profiles, the companies said. With a substantial U.S. manufacturing footprint, the combined organization will be well-positioned to benefit from domestic demand growth.

The companies said combining the complementary portfolios will unlock significant value-creating synergies totaling $75 million of run-rate value in 2028 with approximately 50 percent achieved 12 months after closing. Both Terex and REV Group have demonstrated their ability to successfully execute large integrations and deliver expected synergy value.

Terex also announced that it will initiate a process to exit its Aerials segment, Genie Industries, including the assessment of a potential sale or spin-off. 

Upon closing of the merger, Terex CEO Simon Meester will serve as president and CEO of the combined company, supported by a proven management team that reflects the strengths and capabilities of both organizations.

"This transaction represents a transformative step for both companies,” said Meester. “By combining our complementary portfolios and leveraging our collective strengths, we are creating a large-scale, diversified industrial leader well-positioned to capitalize on long-term secular growth trends. The transaction will unlock significant value for both Terex and REV Group shareholders and creates exciting opportunities for our team members and customers by strengthening our ability to invest in the combined business, innovate and deliver quality solutions."

"Joining forces with Terex is a natural evolution of our strategy of building a stronger, more profitable and scaled company by bringing together two highly respected organizations with shared values and a commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and customer success,” said Mark Skonieczny, CEO of REV Group. “We are beginning an exciting new chapter that will generate meaningful value for our shareholders, customers and employees."

This strong financial foundation will support continued investment in growth while maintaining discipline and flexibility.

Merger Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, REV Group shareholders will receive, for each REV Group share, 0.9809 of a share of the combined company and $8.71 in cash ($425 million in total). Upon closing, Terex shareholders will own approximately 58 percent, while REV Group shareholders will own approximately 42 percent, of the combined company's fully diluted shares on a pro forma basis. Following the close, the combined company will continue to be traded on the NYSE under the symbol TEX. Both parties expect to pay dividends in the ordinary course of business through closing.

The combined company is expected to have approximately $7.8 billion in net sales and an attractive combined Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 11 percent as of year-end 2025 excluding benefit of synergies. It is estimated that at closing the combined company would have a net debt to trailing 12-month pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 2.5x including run-rate synergies of $75 million, with the opportunity to de-lever further post Aerials exit. The exchange ratio and the closing share prices for Terex and REV Group as of October 28, 2025 represent an implied total enterprise value of the combined company of approximately $9 billion.

Excluding Aerials and including $75 million of synergies, the companies estimate that the combined company would have an even stronger pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 14 percent for 2025.

Following the close, the board of the combined company will consist of 12 directors, of which seven will be from the Terex board and five from the REV Group board. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to approval by both companies' shareholders, required regulatory clearance, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
