Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Schedule of Nonexempt Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following description of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Saving Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General - The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers certain salaried and hourly employees of Terex Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company") meeting minimum eligibility requirements. Certain officers of Terex serve as trustees of the Plan (the "Trustees"). The investments of the Plan are held in a trust account by Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity") and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). An Administrative Committee, consisting of at least three members appointed by the Company's Board of Directors, administers the benefit structure of the Plan. The Company is considered the Plan Administrator for purposes of ERISA. On September 18, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of Genie Industries, Inc. and its affiliates ("Genie"). The Genie Industries Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the "Genie Plan") merged into the Plan effective February 1, 2003, at which time Genie's employees became eligible to participate in the Plan. In connection with the merger, assets valued at $37,857,384 were transferred into the Plan from the Genie Plan on February 1, 2003. On March 26, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of Telelect Southeast Distribution Inc., ("Telelect SE"). The Telelect East 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Telelect East Plan") merged into the Plan on April 1, 2003, at which time Telelect SE's employees became eligible to participate in the Plan. In connection with the merger, assets valued at $2,096,038 were transferred into the Plan from the Telelect East Plan on April 1, 2003. Participant Eligibility - Permanent non-represented employees may begin participation on the first day of the month following their hiring. Eligibility for represented employees is as follows: Koehring Cranes, Inc. after they complete three months of service; and American Crane and Cedarapids are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following their hiring. Participant Contributions - Participants may contribute a maximum of 80% (20% prior to January 1, 2002) of their compensation to the Plan in any combination of pre-tax or post-tax earnings. The maximum pre-tax contribution permitted under Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations in 2003 and 2002 was $12,000 and $11,000, respectively. Participants age 50 and older can elect to make additional pre-tax contributions ("catch-up contributions") up to the limits prescribed by IRS regulations. These additional catch-up contributions are not eligible for matching employer contributions. Employer Contributions - With the exception of employees at CMI Corporation ("CMI"), Pacific Utilities Equipment Company ("Pacific Utilities"), Genie and employees represented by collective bargaining units, the Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The Company contributes 15% of the amount that a CMI employee contributes to the Plan, Pacific Utilities employees receive company match of 50% of the first 4% contributed to the Plan, and Genie employees receive company match of 100% of the first 4% contributed to the Plan, subject to IRS limits. For represented employees, the employer contributions are as follow: Koehring Cranes, Inc. employees receive no employer match; American Crane provides that Terex will match 50% of the first 8% of the employee's contribution; and Cedarapids provides that Terex will match 100% of the first 4% of the employee's salary that is contributed to the Plan. The Company may make, in its sole discretion, supplementary contributions. -4- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Company contributions are restricted and are made in Terex Common Stock. However, each calendar year on the first business day of the second quarter, all restricted Company matching contributions in Terex Common Stock will be reclassified to unrestricted, thereby allowing participants to exchange the value of Terex Common Stock into other investment options. All Company matching contributions posted thereafter will once again be restricted and invested in Terex Common Stock until the following first business day of the second quarter. Contribution Limits - Contributions are limited in that the sum of: a) total employer contributions and b) total employee pre-tax contributions and c) total employee post-tax contributions, cannot exceed the lesser of: i) $40,000 or ii) 100% of the participant's total compensation for the year. Participants are able to direct current contributions and redistribute accumulated contributions and earnings between investment funds. Vesting - Participants are immediately fully vested in their voluntary contributions plus any actual earnings thereon. Participants vest in the employer contribution after one year of eligible service with the exception of the employees of Genie who are immediately vested in all Company matching contributions under a safe harbor provision. Forfeitures - Nonvested employer contributions of employees that have separated from the Company become forfeitures and are held in a separate account and may be used to reduce future employer contributions. Effective January 1, 2002, forfeitures can also be used to pay the Plan's administrative expenses. However, employees that return to service within five years from their separation date will be entitled to continue vesting on the employer contributions which were previously forfeited. At December 31, 2003 forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $67,585. These accounts will be used to offset future employer contributions. Allocation of Earnings - Each participant's account is credited with contributions and an allocation of earnings from the respective investment funds. A participant's contributions are used to purchase shares in the various investment funds. The value of and the earnings credited to a participant's account are based on the proportionate number of shares owned by the participant and the fair value of the investment on the valuation date. Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement, disability or death, the entire balance of the participant's account becomes payable to the participant or designated beneficiary. Upon any other termination of employment, the participant receives the vested portion of his/her account; however, if the vested portion of the participant's account is greater than $5,000 ($3,500 prior to January 1, 2002) the participant can elect to keep the investments in the Plan. Withdrawals are also permitted for financial hardship, as defined in the Plan document, or upon attainment of age 59-1/2. Participant Loans - Participants may obtain loans in an amount up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their account balance, subject to the discretion of the Plan Administrator and certain other restrictions. Terms of all loans are established by the Plan Administrator. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis. Investments - Plan investments are stated at fair value based on published market prices or other independent sources. Net appreciation (depreciation) in aggregate fair value of investments is comprised of all realized and unrealized gains and losses during the year. Expenses - Fees and expenses related to administering the Plan are generally paid by Terex. Withdrawals - Withdrawals are recognized at the time of distribution to the participant. -5- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are stated at fair value except for its investment contract which is valued at contract value with an insurance company (see Note 3). Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. Risks and Uncertainties - The Plan provides for various investment options in investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. 3. INVESTMENTS The following presents investments that represent 5 percent of more of the Plan's net assets. December 31, -------------------------------- 2003 2002 -------------- ------------- Terex Corporation Common Stock $ 17,185,216 * 5,862,837 * Fidelity Magellan Fund 7,792,564 5,821,183 Fidelity Equity Income Fund 8,462,932 6,684,077 Fidelity Retirement Money Market Fund 15,918,615 4,826,637 Fidelity Low Price Stock Fund 13,478,750 ** Fidelity Diversified International Fund 7,710,465 ** Fidelity Freedom 2030 7,398,515 ** Participant Loans ** 3,908,234 Investment Contract with Massachusets Mutual Life Insurance Company, #GICO 35024, matures 12/31/05 9,897,084 9,336,872 * Nonparticipant-directed ** This investment represents less than 5 percent of the Plan's net assets. During 2003, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value by $28,197,067 as follows: Mutual Funds $ 18,023,802 Common Stock 10,173,265 ------------- $ 28,197,067 ============= The Plan has an interest in a benefit-responsive investment contract which is valued at contract value as determined by MassMutual, the holder of the contract. The contract value at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $9,897,084 and $9,336,872, respectively. The contract value represents contributions made under contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair market value of the contract was approximately $10,636,000, and $10,171,000, respectively. There are no reserves against the contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. Participants may ordinarily -6- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of the investment at contract value. The guaranteed annual interest rate is 6 percent. 4. NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS The Company's contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Terex Corporation Common Stock. Fidelity holds all Terex common stock in one investment account and does not segregate employer and employee purchased common stock activity. As a result, all Plan investments in Terex common stock are considered nonparticipant-directed. Information about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments is as follows: December 31, ------------------------------- 2003 2002 ------------- ------------ Net Assets: Terex Corporation Common Stock.................$17,185,216 $ 5,862,837 Year Ended December 31, 2003 -------------------- Changes in Net Assets: Contributions.................................. $ 3,946,395 Investment income and gain..................... 10,173,265 Transfer from participant-directed investments. 1,327,923 Withdrawals....................................

(3,264,609) Forfeitures.................................... (19,490) -------------------- $ 11,322,379 ==================== 5. PARTY-IN-INTEREST Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity also serves as a custodian and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to Fidelity for the investment management services amounts to $58,453 for the year ended December 31, 2003. 6. INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan received a determination letter, dated May 5, 2004, that it met the qualification requirements of Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and that the Plan is exempt from federal income taxation. The determination letter included the amendment to the Plan dated December 12, 2002. Subsequently, the Plan has been amended. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan, as amended, continues to be qualified and exempt from tax under Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of the IRC. 7. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event that such discontinuance results in the complete or partial termination of the Plan, the balance in each participant's account will be distributed as directed by the Trustees. -7- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. NONEXEMPT TRANSACTIONS During 2003, the Company did not remit employee contributions timely in the case of one business unit. The nonexempt transaction has no effect on the tax status of the Plan. 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 14, 2003, the Company acquired Commercial Body Corporation ("Commercial Body") and Combatel Distribution, Inc. ("Combatel"). The Commercial Body Corporation Employee Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the "Commercial Body Plan") and the Combatel Distribution, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Combatel Plan") merged into the Plan effective April 1, 2004, at which time the employees of Commercial Body and Combatel became eligible to participate in the Plan. In connection with the merger, assets valued at $1,584,185 and $1,502,830, respectively, were transferred into the Plan from the Commercial Body Plan and the Combatel Plan on April 1, 2004. -8- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN LINE 4i - SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) SCHEDULE H DECEMBER 31, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) Description of Investment Including Maturity Date, (b) Identity of Issue, Borrower, Rate of Interest, Collateral, (a) Lessor or Similar Party Par or Maturity Value (d) Cost (e) Current Value --- ----------------------- --------------------- -------- ----------------- Mutual Funds: * Baron Growth Fund Registered Investment Company $ 118,837 * Janus Mid Cap Value Fund Registered Investment Company 156,127 * Fidelity Magellan Fund Registered Investment Company 7,792,564 * Fidelity Contrafund Registered Investment Company 6,177,062 * Fidelity Equity-Income Fund Registered Investment Company 8,462,932 * Fidelity Growth Company Fund Registered Investment Company 4,529,027 * Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund Registered Investment Company 5,210,485 * Fidelity Capital & Income Fund Registered Investment Company 435,592 * Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund Registered Investment Company 1,926,251 * Fidelity Independence Fund Registered Investment Company 257,470 * Fidelity OTC Portfolio Registered Investment Company 2,153,532 * Fidelity Balanced Fund Registered Investment Company 5,428,303 * Fidelity Convertible Securities Fund Registered Investment Company 337,881 * Fidelity Utilities Fund Registered Investment Company 234,295 * Fidelity Low Priced Stock Fund Registered Investment Company 13,478,750 * Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund Registered Investment Company 1,438,961 * Fidelity Diversified International Fund Registered Investment Company 7,710,465 * Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund Registered Investment Company 2,916,133 * Fidelity Freedom Income Fund Registered Investment Company 75,749 * Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund Registered Investment Company 2,404,770 * Fidelity Freedom 2010 Fund Registered Investment Company 4,634,782 * Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund Registered Investment Company 4,454,726 * Fidelity Freedom 2030 Fund Registered Investment Company 7,398,515 * Fidelity High Income Fund Registered Investment Company 1,064,752 * Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio Fund Registered Investment Company 15,918,615 * Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund Registered Investment Company 2,060,703 * Fidelity Freedom 2040 Fund Registered Investment Company 101,884 ------------------ 106,879,163 Common Stock: * Terex Corporation Common Stock $ 10,795,988 17,185,216 Investment Contracts: MassMutual Guaranteed Investment Contract 9,897,084 Commingled Pool of Investments:: * Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio Commingled Pool of Investments 2,164,995 Loans: * Participants' Loans Interest rates ranging from 5.25% to 9.5% and with maturities through 2018 6,886,297 ------------------ Total $ 143,012,755 ================== * Denotes a party-in interest to the Plan. -9- TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES' 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN SCHEDULE OF NONEXEMPT TRANSACTIONS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Identity of Relationship Purchase Selling Lease Current Net Gain Party Involved to Plan Description Price Price Rental Expenses Cost Value or (Loss) ----------------- ------- ----------- ----- ----- ------ -------- ---- ----- --------- Terex Corporation Sponsor Sponsor failed to remit employee contributions timely $ 4,233 $ --- $ --- $ --- $4,233 $4,233 $ --- -10- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the trustees have duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
