Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

         As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed October
22, 2003, Terex Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release on October
22, 2003 releasing and reviewing the Company's financial results for its fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2003. The press release included as Exhibit 99.1 to
that Form 8-K differed from the press release actually issued by the Company, as
the Exhibit contained incorrect information in the financial summary tables on
the third page with respect to the line item for the Company's EBITDA for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003. EBITDA for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 was $59.2 million (reported) and $61.2 million
(excluding special items), and EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 was $100.1 million (reported) and $199.5 million (excluding special items).
A discussion of the use of EBITDA and non-GAAP financial measures is included in
the press release.

         Accordingly, the Company attaches the correct copy of its press
release, as actually issued by Company, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

(c)      Exhibits

         99.1     Press release of Terex Corporation issued on October 22, 2003.

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
