Second Quarter 2026 Segment Review (all metrics compared to Second Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)

Infrastructure (78.4% of Net Sales)

Products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, lighting, transportation, and telecommunications, along with coatings services to protect metal products

Sales increased 14.8% to $878.9 million, compared to $765.5 million.

Infrastructure end markets remained strong, supporting sales growth of 33.9% in North America Utility and 16.6% in North America Coatings, driven by favorable pricing and higher volumes. International sales increased primarily due to favorable foreign currency impacts. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes in North America Telecommunications due to moderating carrier spend.

Operating income increased to $154.4 million or 17.6% of net sales, compared to $25.9 million or 3.4% of net sales ($124.6 million or 16.3% adjusted1). The improvement compared to prior-year GAAP results primarily reflects the absence of impairment and realignment charges recorded in the prior year. Excluding those items, the increase compared to adjusted1 operating income was primarily driven by favorable pricing and higher volumes, partially offset by increased input costs, primarily materials.

Agriculture (21.6% of Net Sales)

Center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture

Sales decreased 15.8% to $243.7 million, compared to $289.4 million.

In North America, irrigation sales decreased 2.3% due to lower volumes amid continued agriculture market softness, partially offset by favorable pricing. International sales decreased 28.9% driven primarily by disruptions associated with the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Operating income increased to $39.9 million or 16.5% of net sales, compared to $36.1 million or 12.5% of net sales ($44.8 million or 15.6% adjusted1). Compared to prior-year adjusted1 operating income, the results were impacted by lower volumes, partially offset by favorable pricing and reduced costs.

Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on assumptions made by management, considering its experience in the industries where Valmont operates, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. It is important to note that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Valmont’s control), and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “opportunities,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “clear path,” “target,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions. While management believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions as of the date made, numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These factors include, among other things, risks described in Valmont’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company’s actual cash flows and net income, future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operational efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, geopolitical risks, and actions and policy changes by domestic and foreign governments, including tariffs. The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements in this release are made as of its publication date and does not undertake to update these statements, except as required by law.

The Company may provide certain non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate) on a forward-looking basis from time to time. These measures are typically calculated by excluding the impact of items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, realignment or restructuring expenses, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, changes in tax laws or rates, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items. To the extent the Company provides forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided, as the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the timing and financial impact of such items. For the same reasons, the Company cannot assess the likely significance of unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Website and Social Media Disclosure

The Company uses its website and social media channels, as identified on its website, to distribute company information. Posts on these channels may contain material information. Therefore, investors should monitor these channels alongside the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of the Company’s website and social media channels are not considered part of this press release.

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to assess the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, evaluate operational profitability on a consistent basis, factor into executive compensation decisions, and enhance transparency for the investment community. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important to note that other companies may calculate these measures differently, which can limit their usefulness for comparison across organizations.

The following non-GAAP measures may be included in financial releases and other financial communications:

  • Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate: These metrics provide meaningful supplemental insights into the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that are not considered part of core operating results. This approach enhances comparability across reporting periods. Adjustments may include costs or benefits associated with acquisitions, divestitures, expenses related to realignment or restructuring programs, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, significant expenses or benefits from changes in tax laws or rates, cumulative effects of changes in accounting standards, refinancing-related expenses, a loss or a gain from a partial or full settlement of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan obligation, losses from natural disasters, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: This metric is a key component of a financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements. It is calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments as outlined in the applicable debt agreements. This metric offers investors and analysts valuable insights into the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also used to evaluate profitability.
  • Leverage Ratio: This ratio is calculated by taking the sum of interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), and dividing it by Adjusted EBITDA. This is a key financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements and is calculated on a rolling four-fiscal-quarter basis. The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a financial leverage ratio of 3.50 or lower, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
  • Free Cash Flow: Calculated as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, free cash flow serves as an indicator of the Company’s financial strength. However, this measure does not fully reflect the Company’s ability to deploy cash freely, as it has obligations such as debt repayments and other fixed commitments.
  • Backlog: This operating measure is used to evaluate future potential sales revenue. An order is included in the backlog upon receipt of a customer purchase order or the execution of a sales order contract. Backlog is particularly relevant to the Infrastructure segment due to the longer-term nature of its projects. However, backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and does not measure contract profitability. It should not be viewed as the sole indicator of future revenue, as many projects with short lead times book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in the backlog.
  • ROIC: Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and adjusted ROIC are key operating ratios that enable investors to assess our operating performance relative to the investment needed to generate operating profit. ROIC is calculated as after-tax operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as after-tax adjusted operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Invested capital represents total assets minus total liabilities (excluding interest-bearing debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests).

1In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company reported a GAAP net loss. In periods in which the Company recognizes a net loss, the Company excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. The adjusted diluted earnings per share calculation includes the impact of outstanding stock awards.

2Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes rounding.

3The tax effect of adjustments is calculated based on the income tax rate in each applicable jurisdiction.

4The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $71.1 million for goodwill and certain intangible assets in the Solar and Access Systems businesses and recorded $20.2 million for other long-lived assets that will no longer be utilized.

5The Company took realignment actions resulting in pre-tax charges of $9.8 million, primarily severance-related.

6Other non-recurring charges consist of costs to fulfill contractually required payments for system licenses no longer needed and asset valuation adjustments for a joint venture ag solar business.
