This compares to income from continuing operations, as adjusted, of $80.8 million or $1.08 per share in the third quarter of 2018. The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details regarding these non-GAAP measures.“It has become clear that we are in a softening environment for industrial equipment,” stated John L. Garrison, Terex Chairman and CEO. “Demand in the major markets for Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) has declined, putting pressure on sales. We reduced AWP production in the third quarter and have made further reductions in the fourth quarter to align with the market, which is impacting margins. Materials Processing (MP) continued its strong performance in the quarter, however bookings and backlog levels are also pointing to weaker demand in their global markets.”“I was pleased with our cash generation performance in the third quarter, as we achieved $104 million of free cash flow, representing a significant improvement compared to last year,” continued Mr. Garrison. “As we enter a more challenging macro environment for industrial equipment we are intensely focused on generating cash and maintaining a strong liquidity profile.  We are well positioned, entering the fourth quarter with approximately $1.1 billion in available liquidity.”Mr. Garrison concluded, “Based on our year-to-date performance, and changes to the outlook for the balance of 2019, we now expect full year EPS to be between $3.00 to $3.20, excluding restructuring, transformation investments, and other unusual items, on net sales of approximately $4.4 billion.  As a result of our updated earnings outlook we are adjusting our full year free cash flow guidance to approximately $110 million. Looking ahead to 2020, we are operationally planning for sales to be approximately 10% lower than 2019 due to the softening macro environment for industrial equipment.”Non-GAAP Measures and Other ItemsResults of operations reflect continuing operations.  All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.  A comprehensive review of the quarterly financial performance is contained in the presentation that will accompany the Company’s earnings conference call.In this press release, Terex refers to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.  These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies.  Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses.The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the timing and magnitude of future charges that would be included in the reported GAAP results.The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details about this subject.Total amounts in tables of this release may not calculate due to rounding.Conference callThe Company has scheduled a one hour conference call to review the financial results on Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. ET.  John L.

GLOSSARYIn 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 September 30, 2019, unless otherwise indicated.2019 Outlook:  The Company’s 2019 outlook for earnings per share and 2019 full year adjusted forecasted tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude items such as restructuring and other related charges, transformation costs, the impact of the release of tax valuation allowances, gains and losses on divestitures and other unusual items. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their 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 2019 GAAP financial results. Adjusted EPS provides guidance to investors about the Company’s EPS expectations excluding restructuring and other charges that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operations.After-tax gains or losses and per share amounts are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on jurisdictional rates to arrive at an after-tax amount.  This number is divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to provide the impact on earnings per share.  The Company highlights the impact of these items because when discussing earnings per share, the Company adjusts for items it believes are not reflective of ongoing operating activities in the periods.  Restructuring and related charges are a recurring item as Terex’s restructuring programs usually require more than one year to fully implement and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency.  Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to varying levels of restructuring activity and the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.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, plus the estimated level of net working capital in divested businesses at the closing date.  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):
