Lindsay Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Results

 

Improved infrastructure results, steady demand in North America irrigation, and international irrigation project revenue help to partially offset market softness in Brazil

 

OMAHA, Neb., October 24, 2024—Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year, which ended on August 31, 2024.

 

Key Highlights

Fourth Quarter:

North America irrigation revenues increased on higher unit sales volume
Delivery began on large irrigation project in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region
Improved infrastructure results driven by increase in Road Zipper System™ sales and lease revenues

Full-Year:

Consolidated gross margin performance remained steady despite a decline in irrigation revenues
Infrastructure operating income increased 57 percent driven by favorable revenue mix
Deployed $22.5 million towards opportunistic share repurchases

 

“While agricultural markets globally remain challenged due to lower grain prices and grower profitability, I am pleased with the demonstrated resilience and performance of our North America irrigation business. Equipment sales volume in both the fourth quarter and full year grew versus the prior year periods and operating performance also improved. International irrigation results continue to be impacted by lower sales activity in Brazil, following record fourth quarter and full-year sales levels last year. During the fourth quarter we began delivery on the previously announced irrigation project in the MENA region, which helped to offset some of the market softness in Brazil,” said Randy Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lindsay Corporation. "Fourth quarter and full year growth in our Road Zipper System™ lease revenues drove margin expansion and improved infrastructure results."

Wood continued, “I am pleased with the continued operational execution demonstrated by our teams across the business, and the diligent price and cost management which have supported our underlying results in a cyclically challenging irrigation market. Our operating performance, along with diligent working capital management, resulted in free cash flow generation that exceeded net earnings for a second consecutive year. The strength of our balance sheet allows us to continue funding growth initiatives in innovation and other long-term shareholder value creation opportunities.”

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $155.0 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 7 percent, compared to revenues of $167.1 million in the prior year fourth quarter. A decrease in international irrigation revenues was partially offset by increases in North America irrigation and infrastructure revenues compared to the prior year fourth quarter.

 

Operating income for the fourth quarter was $13.5 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 42 percent, compared to operating income of $23.4 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Operating margin was 8.7 percent of sales, compared to operating margin of 14.0 percent of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in operating income and operating margin resulted primarily from lower international irrigation revenues and the impact from the deleveraging of fixed operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by improved operating income and operating margin in the infrastructure segment.

Irrigation segment revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $125.9 million, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 12 percent, compared to $143.6 million in the prior year fourth quarter. North America irrigation revenues of $61.7 million increased $1.5 million, or 2 percent, compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from higher unit sales volumes while average selling prices were comparable with the prior year fourth quarter. Increased unit sales volumes were driven by a higher level of storm damage replacement demand, the impact of which was partially offset by lower sales of replacement parts due to wet field conditions in certain regions that limited equipment run times.

International irrigation revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 of $64.2 million decreased $19.2 million, or 23 percent, compared to the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease resulted primarily from lower revenues in Brazil compared to record revenues in the prior year fourth quarter. Revenues were also lower in other parts of Latin America while overall demand in other developed markets remained stable. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenues in developing markets as delivery began on the previously announced project in the MENA region. Revenues in the current year quarter were also impacted by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.1 million compared to the prior year.

Irrigation segment operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $17.1 million, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 43 percent, compared to the prior year fourth quarter. Operating margin was 13.6 percent of sales, compared to 20.7 percent of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in operating income and operating margin resulted primarily from lower international irrigation revenues and the impact from the deleveraging of fixed operating expenses compared to the prior year fourth quarter.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $29.1 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 24 percent, compared to $23.5 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The increase resulted from higher Road Zipper System sales and lease revenues compared to the prior year fourth quarter. The impact of higher sales of road safety products in the U.S. was offset by lower sales in international markets compared to the prior year fourth quarter.

 

Infrastructure segment operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 79 percent, compared to the prior year fourth quarter. Operating margin was 19.2 percent of sales, compared to 13.3 percent of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. Increased operating income and margin resulted from higher revenues and a more favorable margin mix of revenues with higher Road Zipper System sales and lease revenues compared to the prior year fourth quarter.

Revenues for fiscal 2024 were $607.1 million, a decrease of $67.0 million, or 10 percent, compared to revenues of $674.1 million in the prior year. Irrigation revenues decreased $72.1 million primarily due to lower sales in Brazil and other Latin America markets following record revenues in the prior fiscal year. Infrastructure revenues increased $5.1 million, primarily due to higher Road Zipper System lease revenues while Road Zipper System sales and road safety product sales were both slightly lower compared to the prior fiscal year.

 

Operating income for fiscal 2024 was $76.6 million, a decrease of $25.6 million, or 25 percent, compared to operating income of $102.2 million in the prior year. Operating margin was 12.6 percent of sales, compared to 15.2 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating income and operating margin resulted primarily from lower irrigation segment revenues and the impact from the deleveraging of fixed operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by improved operating income and operating margin in the infrastructure segment.

 

Net earnings for fiscal 2024 were $66.3 million, or $6.01 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $72.4 million, or $6.54 per diluted share, for the prior year. The impact of lower operating income was partially offset by higher other income, driven by an increase in interest income and favorable foreign currency translation results compared to the prior fiscal year, along with a lower effective tax rate resulting primarily from the recognition of certain tax credits in Brazil.

 

The backlog of unfilled orders as of August 31, 2024, was $180.9 million compared with $78.7 million on August 31, 2023. Included in these backlogs are amounts of $36.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for orders that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent twelve months. The backlog in both segments was higher compared to the prior year, with the increase in irrigation backlog resulting from the addition of the large project in the MENA region.

Outlook

 

Mr. Wood concluded, “Indications that grain prices may have reached a bottom provides for a more stable market outlook for growers in North America, and we will have greater clarity regarding the demand outlook for irrigation equipment post-harvest. In Brazil, farmer profitability and credit availability remains a market headwind, however interest rates have been on the decline and local soybean prices have improved recently. We remain confident in the longer-term growth opportunity in this market but we do not expect a significant rebound in the near term. We do expect continued growth in developing international irrigation markets, supported by our project in the MENA region currently underway and other project opportunities under development."

 

“We expect to see continued growth in our infrastructure business in fiscal 2025 supported by the additional U.S. federal infrastructure funds directed to road and bridge construction. This additional funding supports Road Zipper System leasing and sales of road safety projects. We also continue to actively manage projects in our Road Zipper System sales funnel and have line of sight to additional projects potentially moving through the funnel in fiscal 2025.”
