Full transcript - Lindsay corporation (LNN) Q3 2025:

Conference Operator: Good day, and welcome to the Lindsay Corporation’s Fiscal Third Quarter twenty twenty five Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in listen only mode. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Randy Wood, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our fiscal twenty twenty five third quarter earnings call. With me today is Brian Ketchum, our Chief Financial Officer. I’m extremely proud of our team and their execution, delivering our third consecutive quarter of year over year growth in both revenue and operating income. Our employees are diligently focused on supporting our customers and each other.

These results reflect the strength of our global business and our team’s commitment to execution excellence. Our Irrigation business delivered year over year revenue growth led by strength in our international markets including Latin America and the Mid East and North Africa region, while the domestic Irrigation volume was comparable to the prior year. We continue to deliver our large project in The Middle East and are pleased to announce we have secured a new project in the territory valued at over $20,000,000 This project will begin shipping in our fiscal fourth quarter and will continue into our first quarter of fiscal year twenty twenty six. Turning to our Infrastructure segment. Our team delivered another solid quarter, primarily driven by road safety products as we enter the road construction season here in North America.

Our focus remains on growing both our road safety products and Road Zipper system businesses, particularly leasing as this supports a more stable revenue profile for the segment and our overall results. Shifting gears to market outlook. In North America irrigation, we’re now in the primary growing season where weather conditions influence crop yields, prices and net farm income for the year. These factors play a large role in determining future demand for irrigation equipment. While the USDA is projecting an increase in net farm income for this year, most of that growth is related to direct government payments for disaster relief and commodity price support.

Crop revenue is projected to decline and at this point of the storm season, we have seen softer demand relative to the prior year. This tempers demand expectations for North American irrigation heading into our fourth quarter. In our international irrigation markets, particularly Brazil, we’re encouraged by continued signs of improving market conditions. I traveled across Mato Grosso and Goias states earlier this month and can confirm that customers in this region are ready to expand irrigated acres as the availability of affordable credit expands and the country’s energy infrastructure grows. The federal government raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points earlier this month and it now sits at 15%, which is the highest rate since February.

We do expect next year’s crop plan to be released in July and the market outlook will be impacted by the rate and amount of funds made available through the program. We continue to see a strong project funnel in The Mideast and North Africa. And as I mentioned earlier, we did secure another project in this region and expect to see continued growth as countries across the territory prioritize food security and water resource conservation. In infrastructure, we continue to see opportunities develop across Road Zipper system sales, leasing and road safety products. Infrastructure funding in The U.

S. Remains steady. And while project timing can shift quarter to quarter, our funnel of project opportunities remains robust. While additional project sales are on the horizon, the timing of these more complex sales remains uncertain. Our global operations and supply chain team continue to navigate an evolving tariff environment, while leveraging our global footprint to mitigate the impact on our business.

Actions including supplier collaboration, strategic inventory placement, resourcing and pricing have allowed us to manage through this period well. In the area of technology, our collaboration with Pessil Instruments continues to create customer value. By combining FieldNET Advisor with Pessil’s infield environmental sensors, we are providing more precise and real time agronomic insights that allow for more accurate irrigation scheduling decisions. This integrated approach has driven notable growth in cross selling opportunities. The partnership is deepening our expertise in agronomic decision support, strengthening our data driven product suite and advancing our position as a leader in precision irrigation.

I’d like to now turn the call over to Brian to discuss our third quarter financial results. Brian?

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Thank you, Randy, and good morning, everyone. Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal twenty twenty five increased 22% to $169,500,000 compared to $139,200,000 in the prior year. Revenues grew in both the Irrigation and Infrastructure segments compared to the prior year. Net earnings for the quarter were $19,500,000 or $1.78 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $20,400,000 or $1.85 per diluted share in the prior year. This year over year decrease in net earnings resulted primarily from the recognition of a one time income tax credit in the prior year of $4,800,000 or $0.44 per diluted share.

Excluding the impact of the tax credit on prior year results, current year earnings per share represents an increase of 26% over the prior year. Turning to our segment results, Irrigation segment revenues for the quarter increased 25% to $143,700,000 compared to $114,800,000 in the prior year. North America irrigation revenues of $69,100,000 increased 1% compared to $68,200,000 in the prior year. Unit sales volume of irrigation equipment was comparable to the prior year, while average selling prices were up slightly. This increase was partially offset by the mix impact of slightly shorter machines on average compared to the prior year.

Increased demand for irrigation equipment in specialty crop markets in the Pacific Northwest offset softer demand in corn and soybean markets and a lower level of storm damage replacement activity compared to the prior year. In international irrigation markets, revenues increased 60% to $74,700,000 compared to $46,600,000 in the prior year. The majority of the increase resulted from revenues related to our large project in the MENA region along with higher sales volumes in Brazil and other parts of South America. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2,500,000 compared to the prior year. Irrigation segment operating income for the quarter of $27,200,000 increased 39% compared to the prior year and operating margin was 18.9% of sales compared to 17% of sales in the prior year.

Operating income increased due to higher revenues and favorable leverage of fixed operating expenses, while being partially offset by a higher amount of international project revenues, which resulted in some dilution to operating margin compared to the prior year. Infrastructure segment revenues for the quarter of $25,700,000 increased 6% compared to twenty four point four million dollars in the prior year. The increase resulted primarily from higher sales of road safety products, while Road Zipper project sales and lease revenues in total were comparable to the prior year. Infrastructure segment operating income for the quarter was $5,400,000 compared to $6,300,000 in the prior year. And Infrastructure operating margin for the quarter was 21.1% of sales compared to 25.8% of sales in the prior year.

Lower operating income and operating margin resulted primarily from a less favorable margin mix within Road Zipper system revenues compared to the prior year. Turning to the balance sheet and liquidity. Our total available liquidity at the end of the third quarter was $261,000,000 which includes $211,000,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $50,000,000 available under our revolving credit facility. The strength of our balance sheet and ample access to liquid capital resources continue to serve as a strategic asset for Lindsay as we execute our capital allocation strategy to create enhanced and sustained value for our shareholders. This concludes my remarks.

And at this time, I’ll turn the call over to the operator to take your questions.

Conference Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. And your first question comes from Kristen Owen with Oppenheimer. Please go ahead.

Mason Manmore, Analyst, Oppenheimer: Good morning. This is Mason Manmore on for Kristen. We wanted to ask about your international business. Over the short term, can you help us understand what, if any, impact the recent flare up in The Middle East could have on your large project activity? And then on the longer term, I’m wondering if you can help us understand what you’re thinking about the long term growth opportunity in Brazil.

We’re hearing a lot of optimism around the rebound in sentiment in the region, but also acreage expansion from a competitive standpoint.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. Good morning, Mason. This is Randy. I’ll go ahead and take that one. And I guess I’ll start by stating obviously like everyone else, we’re hoping for peaceful resolution on the complex in The Middle East and transitioning to the impact on large project activity.

We don’t see a lot of direct impact in the short term. And certainly, the long term fundamental drivers there related to food security remain intact. So we don’t expect at this point any significant disruption in our ability to deliver existing projects or continue working the funnel to exit new projects in the region. And relative to Brazil, you broke up a little bit there in the middle, but I’ll cover what I think I heard. The long term growth opportunity in Brazil from our perspective is significant and we’ve made that comment before.

We still have that view. I was fortunate to travel in the region earlier this month and it really does confirm what we hear, what we read, what we see from our dealers and our sales teams in the region. And right now we would put Brazil kind of mid single digits in terms of irrigation adoption. So we’re not only projecting growth on new ground coming into production, but certainly improving the yield and productivity of ground that’s already under production. And we’ve often said, as credit conditions become more attractive, we’ll certainly see continued investment in growth.

We’re hearing a lot of territory now where energy has to catch up so that they’ve got the ability to power pumps and pivots in the region. But if we had to rank where we see the strong sustainable consistent growth opportunities in the world, Brazil is certainly going to be near the top of that list.

Mason Manmore, Analyst, Oppenheimer: Thank you for that. A quick follow-up. One of the things we’re watching across both ag and infrastructure markets is the extension of the Trump tax credits and in particular the reinstatement of bonus depreciation. Can you provide your thoughts on how it might impact your demand outlook in both irrigation and Road Zipper business?

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes, Mason, this is Brian. I think the tax credits and the accelerated depreciation bonus depreciation, it’s going to be more impactful for the irrigation business, probably not as much on the Road Zipper side of the business. And really it’s all about farmer income and the ability to shelter that from taxes. And I think from our standpoint, maybe not an overall increase in demand, but I think the timing of that demand, as you see, you could if the bill gets passed this year, you could see some demand later in the calendar year this year that might have been projected to be in the spring of next year. So I think it can shift the timing around.

But overall, it’s still definitely supportive of investment in our equipment.

Mason Manmore, Analyst, Oppenheimer: Thank you for taking my questions.

Conference Operator: And your next question comes from Ryan Connors with Northcoast Research. Please go ahead.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions.

Mason Manmore, Analyst, Oppenheimer: Good morning, Ryan.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: So wanted to stick on the ag business for a few. And first off, on the pricing front, you talked about price being a slight tailwind. That seems like a bit more constructive than we’ve had the last few quarters. So any color there? Was that regional in nature?

You mentioned that Northwest was strong. Just any additional color on the pricing would be helpful.

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes, Ryan. I would say, we’ve stated before when the tariff information came out and then some we saw some of the steel market in The U. S. Go up. We’ve been proactive at addressing price and taking pricing actions.

So I think at this point, I would say it’s a slight impact on revenues. And but I think, if we’re kind of getting ahead a little bit of the cost impact there. Certainly some support on the margin side there, but that’s been really in The U. S. Is where we’ve seen the pricing actions.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Understood. Okay. And then you mentioned in the press release and you mentioned it as well Brian, this notion of shorter machines as I guess a tailwind to or excuse me a headwind rather. So anything that’s driving that? Anything to note in the mix that’s structural that’s changing there?

Or is that just sort of happenstance at the moment or that’s the way it’s going? Or is there anything we read into that? Because I noticed you mentioned it a couple of times.

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. And it’s really a regional thing primarily and mentioned pretty strong demand in the Pacific Northwest in our third quarter. And that’s where we’re seeing some of the shorter machines, which influences the overall average. And there you’ve got large farms that had pivots in and as they add land and maybe they cover the corners with shorter machines, that’s kind of what’s really driving it. You don’t see that as much across the Broad Corn Belt, but in the Pacific Northwest region and some in the Southeast as well.

You got some shorter machines.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Got it. Okay. And then kind of a bigger picture question. Randy, you alluded to the fact that net farm income is going to be up this year, but a lot of that is government supports and that the adages that growers aren’t going to spend that money the same as they will spend crop receipts. But in a drought scenario like we have going on in parts of the Midwest, especially a pivot heavy region like Nebraska, could we actually end up seeing a lot of that money flow into irrigation?

Mean, if the money is coming in from the government and you sort of need, it is certainly a priority at the moment, I would think for some of these growers to make sure they can get crop up.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. Ryan, I wouldn’t say, in our view, that the drought is going to drive a lot of new machine purposes. We’re a pretty mature market here in the Midwest. So we I know we had some machines start up maybe a little earlier to germinate a crop when we didn’t have those early spring rains. So we might see more hours this year that could lead to more parts business, certainly some service business for our dealers.

But I wouldn’t correlate that to a significant or noticeable increase in machine demand. And I can say in the eastern part of the state at least, we’ve had a significant amount of rain here over the last seven to ten days. So I think the longer term threat of drought could be abating slightly as well.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Sure. And then just one last one, if I could sneak it in. On the new $20,000,000 MENA project, should we assume the margins on that are roughly equivalent to the margins on the other big MENA project you’ve been shipping?

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. I think a fair assumption. I mean it’s a smaller project. But I would say given the fact that we’re going to start delivering that at the same time we still have the larger project I think we’ll see comparable margins.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Yes. Okay. Great. Thanks for your time.

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Thank you.

Conference Operator: And your next question comes from Brian Drab with William Blair. Please go ahead.

Brian Drab, Analyst, William Blair: Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. And I just wanted to start with following up to that last question. The $20,000,000 project is a little bit smaller than as you pointed out than some of the other ones that you’ve been doing in that region. Is that the beginning of a trend possibly?

Why is it coming in maybe smaller pieces in this case? And do you in winning that project, were there discussions of other pieces to maybe a larger project? And do you have visibility to the next phases?

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. Good morning, Brian. This is Randy. Thanks for the question. I’d probably answer the question this way.

And we talk a lot about the funnel and I think others that are active in the region have as well. And when you look at the kind of the Pareto and everything that’s in there, there’s going to be more of these $50,000,000 $40,000,000 projects than there are the 100,000,000 150,000,000 plus projects. Those mega projects are going to be certainly a smaller number. So if you look at a trend, I wouldn’t say it’s a trend where the mega projects are getting broken down into smaller projects. These are different customers, different parts of the region with maybe different availability of landmass to them.

So not a trend where we’d say everything is going to shift to these small ones. We still see some of those mega projects working their way through the funnel. From a quantity perspective, I think we are going to see more of these smaller projects over time. But it’s not big customers getting small, it’s different customers, different parts of the region.

Brian Drab, Analyst, William Blair: Okay. Thanks very much. And then on Brazil, your comments today and what we’re seeing in Brazil kind of has me slightly feeling slightly more cautious about the near term outlook in Brazil. I’m wondering if that’s what your sense is as well. I mean you talked about the rate being the highest it’s been since 02/2006, 15%.

I guess the question is just are you incrementally more cautious on Brazil here for the second half of calendar twenty twenty five?

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: I think as we see in a lot of markets, there’s a combination of tailwinds and headwinds that are kind of battling it out. And I think in Brazil, we still see the fundamental market there when you can grow three crops, when you irrigate and two when you don’t. Soy prices remain strong and that access to affordable capital. That’s the one thing right now that’s maybe keeping a lid on that market. So in the near term, near term being today maybe slightly more cautious, but we also commented that next year’s crop plan should be released in the July.

That’s going to be a major source of affordable funding for our customers. So depending on where that rate is and the amount of total funding that’s available, I think that short term cautious optimism could transition quite quickly. And we know that that market from a long term perspective is going to continue to see growth and ongoing investments. So I don’t think it’s tempered demand to the point that we’re even remotely concerned, Brian. But until we see what next year’s crop plan looks like, I think it’s the most part a lot of customers are kind of in a wait and see approach now.

But that wait and see is ten to fourteen days.

Brian Drab, Analyst, William Blair: Okay. Thanks. Appreciate it very much.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: You bet.

Conference Operator: And your next question comes from Jon Braatz with Kansas City Capital. Please go ahead.

Jon Braatz, Analyst, Kansas City Capital: Good morning, Randy, Brian.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Good morning, Jon.

Jon Braatz, Analyst, Kansas City Capital: Brian, can you tell us a little bit about I mean, tell us how much was delivered on large project this quarter and what remains? And then

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: from a

Jon Braatz, Analyst, Kansas City Capital: bigger picture standpoint, is there enough opportunities out there for you to offset sort of the completion of the large project as we look into next year?

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Sure. Yes, first of all, we were able to deliver a little bit ahead of schedule in the third quarter. So I think we’ve been talking about $20,000,000 a quarter. We did about $24,000,000 in the third quarter. So that potentially pulls forward what we were expecting to do in the fourth quarter.

So maybe there’s 16,000,000 in the fourth quarter. And then the remainder, which could be another $15,000,000 $16,000,000 that rolls into the first quarter of next year. So that’s been really delivering as expected. Like I said, we were able to get a little bit more of that out in the third quarter. But the second part of your question, I mean, think as Randy talked about the project pipeline and both combination of large and small, I mean, I kind of have to laugh when we talk about a $20,000,000 project being small.

I mean, in the past, a $20,000,000 project would be a pretty good sized project. But there’s enough projects in the funnel to fill the gap from the large project that we’ve had we have this year. I think the big question is, as we always talk about is the timing and the unpredictability there and a lot of factors go into when a project can get started, whether it’s infrastructure or whether it’s getting the funding in place and things like that. But we there’s ample opportunity there to certainly fill that gap and continue to have a project business in that part of the world.

Jon Braatz, Analyst, Kansas City Capital: Okay. Second question is, in the past or speaking of North America, North American pivot sales seem to have been somewhat correlated with what we’re seeing in terms of volumes at John Deere and the big equipment manufacturers. And this year, there certainly hasn’t been a disconnect. Your volumes have been flattish and their volumes have been off considerably. What might be driving that?

And I know you talked a little bit about Pacific Northwest. Is it sort of more irrigation, more pivot sales in regional markets and outside of the big row crops?

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. I’ll take that one, John. I think there’s a couple of things. The mix that you’re talking about regionally, I think, plays into it. One of the other factors is that just fundamentally, we’ve got different go to market models.

And when you talk about John Deere and their calls, they’ll talk about destocking the channel. So their revenue is recognized when it ships to a dealer. The dealer is going hold inventory and sell that at retail. And for us, we basically ship from the factory to the field. So we don’t have that destocking mechanism through our channel that I think a lot of those equipment OEMs have to deal with when we start to see the market downturn.

Jon Braatz, Analyst, Kansas City Capital: Okay. Okay. All right. That’s it. Thank you very much.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Thank you, John. Thanks, John.

Conference Operator: And your next question comes from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Please go ahead.

Adam Farley, Analyst, Stifel: Good morning. This is Adam Farley on for Nathan. I wanted to follow-up on the price cost discussion. Are you seeing any impact from the increase in the steel and aluminum tariff? And then do have any expectation for near term steel costs?

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes, Adam, this is Brian. I would say at this point we’ve had little to no impact from the steel cost. I mean we had seen initially when the tariffs were announced, the domestic steel suppliers increasing price. Some of that was some artificial demand created with companies stocking up on inventory and things like that. But this most recent announcement of the 50% tariffs, we just haven’t seen any price increases sticking at this point in time.

Don’t think the demand is there to support the domestic steel increases. So I would say from a cost standpoint, as it relates to steel at this point limited

Brian Drab, Analyst, William Blair: impact.

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: And as it relates to the other tariffs, think it’s still in that what we talked about before in that mid single digit kind of impact. And as we mentioned earlier, we have taken some pricing actions in anticipation of that cost impact.

Adam Farley, Analyst, Stifel: Thanks, Brian. That’s helpful. And then I wanted to follow-up on the progress around the modernization of your Lindsay, Nebraska manufacturing facility. I’m asking the question because margins have been pretty robust this year. And I’m wondering if you’re seeing realized savings from that modernization?

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. I’ll maybe start, Adam, and kind of give you an update on the progress and Brian can maybe go a little deeper on some of the numbers. And we had the opportunity to take our board there earlier this week and kind of do a tour on the investment progress and things are going extremely well. We’ve been blessed with good weather. We’ve been blessed with a great team, supplier support working on execution.

And I can say that everything is on track on the timelines that we expected. And I think the quality of the equipment of the facilities, the worker environment, the improvements in safety, the improvements of efficiency, everything looks like it’s going to deliver quite well versus our expectations. Maybe turn it over to Brian to be a little more specific.

Brian Ketchum, Chief Financial Officer, Lindsay Corporation: Yes. Adam, in terms of the margin improvement that we’re seeing and specifically to the third quarter here, If I were to characterize it in order of magnitude, I would say, first of all, the volume leverage that we have in the international business and the leverage in our Turkey facility is probably the largest single driver. But operational efficiencies, I would say would be the next contributor to the margin expansion and you’re seeing that in our main factories in Brazil, Turkey and in The U. S. We’re seeing some operational efficiencies.

And then a third thing that’s contributing to margin expansion that we’ve talked about at some point as being supportive. I think our growth in subscriptions and the recurring revenue there we are seeing that start to impact and help from a margin standpoint.

Adam Farley, Analyst, Stifel: Okay. Thank you for taking my questions.

Ryan Connors, Analyst, Northcoast Research: Thank you.

Conference Operator: Seeing no additional questions, this concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Randy Wood for any closing remarks.

Randy Wood, President and CEO, Lindsay Corporation: Thank you all for joining us today. We are very pleased with our year to date results and our third quarter performance. Our teams continue to execute well and we are positioned to manage through the market headwinds in our domestic U. S. Irrigation market, while leveraging opportunities in the expanding international irrigation regions.

Our Road Zipper funnel will continue to drive long term growth and our global footprint and supply chain will allow us to effectively manage through tariff uncertainty. This concludes our third quarter earnings call. We look forward to updating you on our continued progress following the close of our fiscal twenty twenty five year. Thanks for joining us.

Conference Operator: The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today’s presentation. You may now disconnect.
