President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum
commented, “We delivered another quarter of strong performance,
expanding operating margins in both segments and achieving record
earnings per share, demonstrating the resiliency of our portfolio,
value-based pricing and operational excellence strategies. I’m very
pleased with the solid execution by our global teams and our
ability to maintain disciplined pricing strategies across the
portfolio, despite softer than expected demand in North America
agriculture and telecommunications markets. As we look ahead to the
remainder of the year, we remain committed to executing on our
strategic framework while capitalizing on investments in growth and
innovation with a firm commitment to long-term shareholder value
creation opportunities across our global businesses.”
Second Quarter 2023 Segment Review
Infrastructure (73.4% of Net
Sales)
Products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of
utility, solar, lighting, transportation, and telecommunications,
along with coatings services to preserve metal products
Sales of $770.6 million grew 4.2% year-over-year. Sales growth
was driven by favorable pricing globally, higher volumes, notably
in the Solar and Transmission, Distribution, and Substation
(“TD&S”) product lines, and sales from the ConcealFab
acquisition, partially offset by lower Telecommunications
volumes.
Operating Income improved to $116.0 million or 15.1% of net
sales compared to $84.1 million or 11.4% of net sales in the second
quarter of 2022, driven by favorable pricing with improved overall
cost of goods sold.
Agriculture (26.6% of Net
Sales)
Center pivot components and linear irrigation equipment for
agricultural markets, including parts and tubular products;
advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture
Sales of $279.9 million decreased 25.9% year-over-year. The
benefit of higher average selling prices of irrigation equipment
globally was more than offset by lower volumes. In North America,
sales were lower as the second quarter of 2022 benefited from the
ongoing delivery of record year-end backlog and growers delaying
capital investment decisions in the quarter. International sales
were lower as strong sales in Brazil were more than offset by lower
sales in the EMEA region, partially due to timing of project sales.
Sales of agriculture technology products and services globally were
lower due to lower irrigation equipment volumes.
Operating Income decreased to $49.3 million or 17.7% of net
sales ($53.2 million or 19.1% adjusted1) compared to $58.0 million
or 15.5% of net sales ($62.2 million or 16.6% adjusted1) in the
second quarter of 2022. Operating margin improvement was driven by
favorable pricing and improved overall cost of goods sold,
partially offset by higher SG&A, including incremental R&D
expense for technology investments.
Other
Offshore wind energy structures business
As previously announced, the divestiture of the offshore wind
energy structures business was completed in December 2022. In the
second quarter of 2022, the subsequently-divested business
generated sales of $25.4 million and operating income of $0.5
million.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital
Allocation
The Company generated solid second quarter 2023 operating cash
flows of $88.3 million through strong earnings and effectively
managing working capital. At the end of the second quarter, cash
and cash equivalents were $166.9 million. During the quarter,
Valmont repurchased $24.0 million of Company stock, with $346.3
million remaining on the share repurchase program.
Updating 2023 Full Year Financial
Outlook and Key Assumptions
Taking into consideration second quarter sales and record
diluted earnings per share results, and the near-term demand
outlook for North America agriculture and telecommunications
markets, the Company is updating its full-year net sales growth
outlook from the previous indications that were communicated last
quarter and providing updated key assumptions for the year.

- Expect full-year operating margin improvement compared to
2022
- 2022 sales include $100 million from the offshore wind energy
structures business which was divested at the end of fiscal
2022
- Effective tax rate of 28% to 29%, primarily due to expected
geographic mix of earnings
- Minimal expected foreign currency translation impact to net
sales
- Capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $105 to
$115 million to support strategic growth and digital transformation
initiatives
Applbaum continued, “We remain excited in our ability to drive
multi-year profitable growth by capitalizing on the strong market
drivers across our businesses, despite near-term softness in some
markets. In the Infrastructure segment, the long-term need for
critical investment globally is supporting multi-year market growth
trends. Our backlog remains strong, reflecting the overall robust
demand for our products and the trust our customers place in us to
solve their most pressing infrastructure needs. We expect continued
near-term softness in telecommunications markets as we are seeing
capex spending by wireless carriers more aligned with historical
trends following record levels of investment. In Agriculture, while
market fundamentals remain positive, including projections of
historically-high net farm income levels in the U.S., we are
expecting modestly lower sales in North America in the second half
of the year compared to the first half as growers continue to take
a wait-and-see approach to purchasing decisions. The outcomes of
the fall harvest should provide more clarity on farmer sentiment
and expected buying patterns. International agriculture market
demand remains strong driven by a robust project pipeline and
continued sales growth in Brazil, supported by the
recently-announced government financing program. Therefore, for the
balance of the year, we expect international sales growth to more
than offset any softness in North America, demonstrating the
resilience of our increasingly diverse end markets. We continue to
expect profitable growth across the portfolio, with full-year 2023
adjusted operating margins expected to approach 12%, driven by
solid execution and supported by a backlog of approximately $1.5
billion. The operating margin improvement, along with a strong
second quarter, supports maintaining our full-year earnings per
share outlook. The organization is performing well, and our balance
sheet remains strong, providing us with ample liquidity to support
our capital allocation deployment strategy. We are confident in our
ability to achieve our strategic objectives and deliver on our
long-term financial targets, creating sustainable shareholder
value.”

Valmont has aggregated its business segments into two global
reportable segments, as follows.
Infrastructure: This segment consists of the manufacture
and distribution of products and solutions to serve the
infrastructure markets of utility, solar, lighting, transportation,
and telecommunications, along with coatings services to preserve
metal products.
Agriculture: This segment consists of the manufacture of
center pivot components and linear irrigation equipment for
agricultural markets, including parts and tubular products, and
advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture.
In addition to these two reportable segments, the Company had a
business and related activities in 2022 that were not more than 10%
of consolidated sales, operating income, or assets. This comprised
the offshore wind energy structures business which was reported in
the “Other” segment until its divestiture in December 2022.

RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in thousands, except per
share amounts)
(Unaudited)
The non-GAAP tables below disclose the
impact of intangible asset amortization (Prospera) and stock-based
compensation recognized for the Prospera employees on fiscal 2023
and 2022 results. We believe the adjustments for Prospera allow for
a better investor understanding of Agriculture segment performance
related to traditional segment products. Amounts may be impacted by
rounding. We believe it is useful when considering company
performance for the non-GAAP adjusted net earnings and operating
income to be taken into consideration by management and investors
with the related reported GAAP measures.

REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF
EXCLUDING OTHER SEGMENT NET SALES
(Dollars in thousands, except per
share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Excluding Other segment net sales from the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 2022, which we refer to in
this reconciliation as “Adjusted Net Sales”, is a non-GAAP measure.
The Other segment net sales were generated by the offshore wind
energy structures business which was divested in December 2022.
Adjusted Net Sales should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operations or other
income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a
measure of our operating performance or liquidity. The table below
shows how Adjusted Net Sales is calculated from the Company’s
Statements of Earnings. Adjusted Net Sales is calculated as total
net sales less Other segment net sales. Adjusted Net Sales allows
investors to analyze our operating performance in light of the
amount of net sales less net sales of a divested business.

FORECASTED GAAP AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS
(Dollars in thousands, except per

(Unaudited)
The non-GAAP tables below disclose the
impact on the range of estimated diluted earnings per share of the
(1) amortization of the intangible asset (Prospera) and (2)
stock-based compensation for Prospera employees. We believe the
adjustments for Prospera allow for a better investor understanding
of Agriculture segment performance related to traditional segment
products. We believe it is useful when considering company
performance for the non-GAAP adjusted net earnings to be taken into
consideration by management and investors with the related reported
GAAP measures.
