“North America irrigation revenue and unit volume increased in the fourth quarter, supported by stronger commodity prices and improving farmer sentiment”

“In the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region we completed delivery of approximately $70 million of the $80 million project that began in our fiscal second quarter. We expect to recognize the majority of the remaining $10 million in services revenue over the next 12 to 24 months. In Brazil, limited credit availability and low farmer profitability continued to pressure demand. We continue to be encouraged by the strong performance across our infrastructure business, which delivered double-digit percent revenue and operating income growth in the fourth quarter, supported by road safety products' third consecutive quarter of growth.”

“I'm pleased with the dedication and resiliency of our global team as we continue to demonstrate strong execution despite a volatile macro-economic environment. During the quarter, we took additional actions to better align our cost structure with current market demand and support margins. In June, we implemented a global restructuring that reduced our workforce, which we expect to generate approximately $8.0 million of net annualized savings. We remain focused on strengthening our operating performance, while investing in opportunities that support sustainable, long-term shareholder value creation. In fiscal 2026, we returned $96.1 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, while also funding the largest capital investment in our history at our Lindsay, Nebraska facility. During the year, we announced a new share repurchase authorization of $150.0 million, of which $100.0 million remained available at the end of the fiscal year.”

“During our fourth quarter, we saw encouraging signs for forward crop prices, improving farmer sentiment in the near-term in North America, however, it is still too early to forecast significant recovery. We expect demand for irrigation equipment in North America to remain tempered until the outlook for commodity prices and farm income improves. In Brazil, high interest rates and ongoing credit constraints remain as headwinds. We're managing the business with discipline through these headwinds so that we're well-positioned when financing conditions improve. Brazil remains central to our long-term international growth, and our planned acquisition of Setorial Irrigação further expands our irrigation portfolio and strengthens our position in the Brazilian market. While we expect difficult year-over-year comparisons in the international irrigation project markets in fiscal 2027, we remain optimistic about the long-term opportunities driven by the growing need to improve food security and water conservation.”

“In our infrastructure business, we anticipate sustained growth in road safety products, supported by the new road safety solutions we've recently introduced in the market. We anticipate Road Zipper System leasing to be comparable to this fiscal year, while we continue to actively manage Road Zipper System projects through the sales funnel.”
