Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a global leader that provides vital infrastructure and advances agricultural productivity while driving innovation through technology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum commented, “Our global teams performed extremely well during the third quarter, expanding gross profit and delivering strong third-quarter adjusted earnings per share against a dynamic demand environment. In Infrastructure, our solid results reflect volume growth from continued strong market demand, and we achieved operating margin improvement year-over-year despite near-term headwinds in telecommunications markets. In Agriculture, international sales growth was led by EMEA project sales and Brazil, where we recognized another quarter of record sales. As expected, North America agriculture sales decreased year-over-year due to continued muted farmer sentiment and third quarter 2022 benefited from the ongoing delivery of elevated backlog. I’m very pleased with our reduction in inventory which helped deliver strong operating cash flows.
“In the third quarter, we also recorded an impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the Agriculture Technology reporting unit, primarily driven by significantly slower growth of Prospera’s agronomy technology solutions compared to the original financial projections.
“A few weeks ago, the leadership team and I met to discuss our strategy. From where I stand today, our core strategic priorities remain intact. While we will continue prioritizing growth initiatives, looking ahead we will invest with discipline to strengthen our core businesses, and proactively make decisions in conjunction with market cycles. Going forward, we will also ensure new innovation is introduced with the purpose of meeting the immediate needs of our customers. In addition, to align our organization with our strategy, today we are announcing an organizational realignment program to streamline administrative support of our business segments. This realignment, which is expected to be recovered through lower operating costs within 12 months, will enable a more efficient and effective structure for driving long-term profitable growth while reducing costs.”
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights (all metrics compared to Third Quarter 2022 unless otherwise noted)

-
Operating Income (Loss) was ($24.2) million [$120.8 million or 11.5% of net sales adjusted1] compared to $110.0 million or 10.0% of net sales in 2022 [$114.1 million or 10.6% of net sales adjusted1]
- Operating Income (Loss) includes non-cash pre-tax goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $137.3 million related to the Agriculture Technology reporting unit [$133.3 million after-tax] and $4.2 million of pre-tax cash expenses related to the organizational realignment program

Third Quarter 2023 Segment Review
Infrastructure (71.8% 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 $755.1 million were comparable with last year, driven by higher volumes, notably in the Solar, Lighting and Transportation (“L&T”) and Transmission, Distribution, and Substation (“TD&S”) product lines. Lower Telecommunications volumes and lower pricing associated with a reduced cost of steel in the TD&S product line more than offset higher pricing across the rest of the portfolio.
Operating Income improved to $103.4 million or 13.7% of net sales [$108.0 million or 14.3% adjusted1] compared to $92.5 million or 12.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022 as pricing not linked to steel commodity costs was higher and the Company took deliberate actions to improve overall cost of goods sold.
Agriculture (28.2% 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 $298.5 million decreased 8.8% year-over-year as higher international sales were more than offset by lower sales in North America. Sales of agriculture technology products and services globally were similar to last year.
In North America, the sales decrease was primarily driven by lower irrigation equipment sales volumes. As expected, farmer sentiment remained somewhat muted during the quarter and the third quarter of 2022 benefited from the ongoing delivery of elevated backlog. Average irrigation equipment selling prices were comparable with last year. International sales growth was driven by higher project sales in the EMEA region, a record sales quarter in Brazil, and higher sales in Argentina. Third quarter 2023 also benefited from approximately $5.5 million of favorable foreign currency translation impacts compared to last year.
Operating Income (Loss) was ($99.7) million [$38.5 million or 13.0% of net sales adjusted1] compared to $43.3 million or 13.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2022 [$47.4 million or 14.6% adjusted1]. A $137.3 million impairment of goodwill and intangible assets led to the operating loss in the quarter, as described later in the press release.
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 third quarter of 2022, the subsequently-divested business generated sales of $22.9 million and operating income of $1.1 million.
Non-Cash Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Charge of Agriculture Technology
During the third quarter of 2023, Valmont completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and certain intangible assets. As a result of the impairment analysis, it was concluded that the carrying value of the Agriculture Technology reporting unit exceeded its market value. As such, the Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill and certain intangible assets of $137.3 million. Significantly slower growth of Prospera’s agronomy technology solutions compared to the original financial projections was the primary driver of the impairment. The recent decline in the North American agriculture market was also a contributing factor. The impairment charge did not affect the Company’s liquidity or cash flows from operating activities.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Allocation
The Company generated strong third quarter 2023 operating cash flows of $81.3 million through effectively managing working capital, specifically inventory. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $172.6 million. During the third quarter of 2023, Valmont repurchased $31.5 million of Company stock, with $314.7 million remaining on the authorized share repurchase program.
Organizational Realignment Program
Today, Valmont is announcing a broad organizational realignment program which better aligns the Company’s administrative support structure to its strategy by reducing layers of management, offering a voluntary early retirement program and other headcount reductions. These actions are expected to enable a more efficient and effective administrative structure for driving long-term profitable growth while still investing in growth initiatives. The program affects both reportable segments as well as corporate, and is targeted to take place during 2023. Cash expenses are expected to be between $33 and $36 million and are expected to be recovered through lower operating costs within 12 months. Of the above cost estimates, $4.2 million of pre-tax cash expenses related to the realignment program were incurred during the third quarter 2023.
Updating 2023 Full Year Financial Outlook and Key Assumptions
Taking into consideration third quarter sales and diluted earnings per share results, the expected timing of international agriculture project shipments and the near-term demand outlook for telecommunications markets, the Company is updating its full-year net sales growth and earnings per share outlook from the previous indications that were communicated last quarter and providing updated key assumptions for the year.
2023 Full Year Financial Outlook |
Previous Outlook with Updated Adjustments1 |
Revised Outlook1 |
Net Sales Growth (vs. PY) |
0% to 2% |
(3%) to (4%) |
GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share |

$7.20 to $7.50 |
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share1 |
$14.80 to $15.35 |
$14.80 to $15.10 |
- The impairment charge significantly reduces the future Prospera technology intangible asset amortization, and the realignment program announced in this release lowers future stock-based compensation to be recognized for Prospera employees. The Previous Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share Outlook has been updated to remove the Prospera adjustments of approximately 65 cents per diluted share from the prior Outlook for comparison to the Revised Outlook
- 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
- GAAP effective tax rate of 36% to 36.5% due to the non-deductibility of the goodwill impairment; Adjusted effective tax rate of 26% to 26.5% due to recent favorable U.S. tax legislation
- Minimal expected foreign currency translation impact to net sales
- Capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $100 to $110 million to support strategic growth initiatives
Applbaum continued, “The Valmont team continues to perform well, optimizing margins and earnings while generating strong cash flows, positioning us for profitable growth as we streamline the organization. The long-term outlook across all our end markets remains very positive, while acknowledging near-term headwinds in certain markets. Our management team and organization are united around our strategic priorities, with a focus on initiatives that deliver a compelling value proposition to our customers and drive long-term shareholder value. I am excited about Valmont’s journey as a company that maximizes financial performance through the cycles, made possible by an unwavering discipline on capital allocation and ROIC.”

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.

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF ITEMS ON REPORTED RESULTS
REGULATION G RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
The non-GAAP tables below disclose the impact of the impairment of long-lived assets, realignment charges, intangible asset amortization (Prospera), and stock-based compensation recognized for the Prospera employees on fiscal 2023 and 2022 results, as well as the impact of non-recurring tax benefit items on net earnings. 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.
We previously presented non-GAAP financial measures adjusted for Prospera intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation recognized for the Prospera employees for a better investor understanding of Agriculture segment performance related to traditional segment products. The Company conducted its annual impairment testing of intangible asset value as of September 2, 2023 and significantly reduced the Prospera intangible asset value. Additionally, the board approved certain realignment plans subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 that significantly affected the compensation recognized for the Prospera employees. As a result of this, we do not consider our historical adjustments related to Prospera to arrive at non-GAAP financial measures to be relevant to investor understanding of third quarter and future segment performance.

1In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we reported a GAAP net loss. In periods in which we recognize a net loss, we exclude 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.
2Earnings (loss) per share includes rounding.
3The tax effect of adjustments is calculated based on the income tax rate in each applicable jurisdiction.

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF EXCLUDING OTHER SEGMENT NET SALES
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)
Excluding Other segment net sales from the third quarter and first three quarters 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 Operations. 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.

REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EFFECTIVE TAX RATE
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)
Excluding significant non-recurring items from the third quarter of fiscal 2023 from the calculation of effective tax rate, which we refer to as “Adjusted Effective Tax Rate”, is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the effective tax rate prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below shows how Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is calculated from the Company’s Statements of Operations. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is calculated as total earnings (loss) before income taxes plus the significant non-recurring items of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, realignment charges, and non-recurring tax benefit items. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate allows investors to analyze our effective tax rate in light of these non-recurring items.

The non-GAAP tables below discloses the impact on the range of estimated diluted earnings per share of the (1) amortization of intangible assets (Prospera), (2) stock-based compensation for Prospera employees, (3) impairment of long-lived assets, (4) realignment charges, and (5) non-recurring tax benefit items. 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.
