(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Shareholders’ Equity for the thirty-nine weeks then ended have been prepared by Valmont Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, have been made to present fairly the financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for all periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Finished goods and manufactured goods inventories include the costs of acquired raw materials and related factory labor and overhead charges required to convert raw materials to manufactured and finished goods.

Inventories as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Raw materials and purchased parts	$	255,279	$	258,814
Work-in-process		45,652		44,453

Pension Benefits

The Company incurs expenses in connection with the Delta Pension Plan (“DPP”). The DPP was acquired as part of the Delta PLC acquisition in fiscal 2010 and has no members that are active employees. In order to measure the expense and the related benefit obligation, various assumptions are made including the discount rates used to value the obligation, the expected return on plan assets used to fund these expenses, and the estimated future inflation rates. These assumptions are based on historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. An actuarial analysis is used to measure the expense and liability associated with pension benefits.

Stock Plans

The Company maintains stock-based compensation plans approved by the shareholders, which provide that the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and bonuses of common stock. As of September 30, 2023, 1,616,717 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the plans.

Stock options granted under the plans call for the exercise price of each option to equal the closing market price as of the date of the grant. Options vest beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date in equal amounts over three years or on the grant’s fifth anniversary date. Expiration of grants is seven to ten years from the date of the award. Restricted stock units and awards generally vest in equal installments over three or four years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant.

The Company’s compensation expense (included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) and associated income tax benefits related to stock options and restricted stock awards for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022 were as follows:


	Thirteen weeks ended				Thirty-nine weeks ended

Fair Value

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

(Unaudited)

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

●

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

●

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Trading Securities: The Company’s trading securities represent the investments held in the Valmont Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”). The assets of the DCP were $25,334 and $25,008 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These assets represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt Securities, considering an employee’s ability to change investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts, commodity forward contracts, and cross currency swap contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Mutual Funds: The Company has short-term investments in various mutual funds.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s other non-financial assets include goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. See “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” footnote.

Leases

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets are included in “Other non-current assets” and the corresponding lease obligations are included in “Other accrued expenses” and “Operating lease liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net earnings (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, certain derivative-related activity, and changes in prior service cost from the pension plan. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet dates. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Revenue Recognition

The Company determines the appropriate revenue recognition model for contracts by analyzing the type, terms, and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer. Contracts with customers for all businesses are fixed-price with sales tax excluded from revenue and do not include variable consideration. Discounts included in contracts with customers, typically early pay discounts, are recorded as a reduction of net sales in the period in which the sale is recognized. Contract revenues are classified as “Product sales” when the performance obligation is related to the manufacturing and sale of goods. Contract revenues are classified as “Service sales” when the performance obligation is the performance of a service. Service revenue is primarily related to the Coatings product line and Technology Products and Services product line.

Customer acceptance provisions exist only in the design stage of the products (on a limited basis, the Company may agree to other acceptance terms), and acceptance of the design by the customer is required before manufacturing commences and the product is manufactured and delivered to the customer. The Company is generally not entitled to any compensation solely based on design of the product and does not recognize this service as a separate performance obligation and, therefore, no revenue is recognized for design services. No general rights of return exist for customers once the product has been delivered, and the Company establishes provisions for estimated warranties.

Shipping and handling costs associated with sales are recorded within cost of sales. The Company elected to use the practical expedient of treating freight as a fulfillment obligation instead of a separate performance obligation and ratably recognize freight expense as the structure is being manufactured when the revenue from the associated customer contract is being recognized over time. With the exception of the Transmission, Distribution, and Substation ("TD&S"), Solar, and Telecommunications product lines, the Company’s inventory is interchangeable for a variety of each segment’s customers. The Company has elected to not disclose the partially satisfied performance obligation at the end of the period when the contract has an original expected duration of one year or less. In addition, the Company does not adjust the amount of consideration to be received in a contract for any significant financing component if payment is expected within one year of transfer of control of goods or services.

The Company’s contract assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 totaled $169,931 and $174,539, respectively.

While most of the Infrastructure segment customers are generally invoiced upon shipment or delivery of the goods to the customer’s specified location, certain customers are also invoiced by advanced billings or progress billings. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total contract liabilities were $88,600 and $178,531, respectively. The balance as of September 30, 2023 was recorded as “Contract liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional details are as follows:

●

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $49,644 and $149,801 of revenue that was included in the total contract liability as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The

revenue recognized was due to applying advance payments received for performance obligations completed during the period.

●

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company recognized $16,826 and $75,998 of revenue that was included in the total contract liability as of December 25, 2021, respectively. The revenue recognized was due to applying advance payments received for performance obligations completed during the period.

●

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no material remaining performance obligations on contracts with an expected duration of one year or more.

Segment and Product Line Revenue Recognition

Infrastructure Segment

Steel and concrete utility structures within the TD&S product line are engineered to customer specifications resulting in limited ability to sell the structure to a different customer if an order is canceled after production commences. The continuous transfer of control to the customer is evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by rights to payment for work performed to-date plus a reasonable profit as the products do not have an alternative use to the Company. Since control is transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment. For the TD&S and Telecommunications product lines, the Company generally recognizes revenue on an input basis, using total production hours incurred to-date for each order as a percentage of total hours estimated to complete the order. The completion percentage is applied to the order’s total revenue and total estimated costs to determine reported revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. Production of an order, once started, is typically completed within three months. Depending on the product sold, revenue from the Solar product line is recognized upon shipment or delivery of goods to the customer depending on contract terms, or by using an inputs method, based on the ratio of costs incurred to-date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. External sales agents are used in certain TD&S sales and the Company has chosen to expense estimated commissions owed to third parties by recognizing them proportionately as the goods are manufactured.

For the structures sold for the Lighting and Transportation product line and for the majority of Telecommunications products, revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery of goods to the customer depending on contract terms, which is the same point in time that the customer is billed. There are also large regional customers who have unique product specifications for telecommunication structures. When the customer contract includes a cancellation clause that would require them to pay for work completed plus a reasonable margin if an order was canceled, revenue is recognized over time based on hours worked as a percent of total estimated hours to complete production.

The Coatings product line revenues are derived by providing coating services to customers’ products, which include galvanizing, anodizing, and powder coating. Revenue is recognized once the service has been performed and the goods are ready to be picked up or delivered to the customer, which is the same time that the customer is billed.

Agriculture Segment

Revenue recognition from the manufacture of irrigation equipment and related parts and services (including tubular products for industrial customers) is generally upon shipment of the goods to the customer which is the same point in time that the customer is billed. The remote monitoring subscription services recognized as part of Technology Products and Services product line are primarily billed annually and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subsequent twelve months.

Disaggregation of revenue by product line is disclosed in the “Business Segments & Related Revenue Information” footnote.

Supplier Finance Program

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, as well as early adopted the amendment on rollforward information. During fiscal 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supplier finance program which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the financial institution. These participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable arrangements directly with the financial institution and the Company’s rights and obligations to suppliers are not impacted. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in the supplier finance program and reaches an agreement with a financial institution, they elect which individual Company invoices they sell to the financial institution. The Company’s obligation is to make payment in the invoice amount negotiated with participating suppliers to the financial institution on the invoice due date, regardless of whether the individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution. The financial institution pays the supplier on the invoice due date for any invoices that were not previously sold under the supplier finance program. The invoice amounts and scheduled payment terms are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. The payment of these obligations is included in “Net cash flows provided by operating activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Included in “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $48,563 and $48,880 of outstanding payment obligations, respectively, that were sold to the financial institution under the Company’s supplier finance program.

(2) ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions of Businesses

On August 31, 2023, the Company acquired HR Products for $56,744 Australian dollars ($36,465 United States (“U.S.”) dollars) in cash, net of cash acquired and subject to customary working capital adjustments. Of this amount, $7,200 Australian dollars ($4,626 U.S. dollars) was withheld by the Company at closing as a retention fund, to be settled in two equal payments at 12 and 24 months from the acquisition date for contingencies and disagreements. HR Products provides a broad range of irrigation products to serve the agriculture and landscaping industries, and its operations are reported in the Agriculture segment. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s value proposition to customers in the key agriculture market of Australia by expanding its geographic footprint and accelerating its aftermarket parts presence. The amount allocated to goodwill is attributable to anticipated synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is currently completing its fair value assessment and expects to finalize the purchase price allocation by the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of HR Products as of the date of acquisition:

(3) DIVESTITURES

On April 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of Torrent Engineering and Equipment, an integrator of prepackaged pump stations in Indiana, reported in the Agriculture segment, for net proceeds of $6,369. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, a pre-tax gain of $2,994 was reported in “Other income (expenses)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On November 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Valmont SM, an offshore wind energy structures business in Denmark, reported in the Other segment. The business was sold because it did not align with the long-term strategic plans for the Company. The offshore wind energy structures business’ historical annual sales, operating income, and net assets were not significant for discontinued operations presentation. The offshore wind energy structures business had an operating income of $1,107 and $814 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022, respectively.

At closing, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company received 90,000 Danish kroner ($12,570 U.S. dollars) with an additional 28,000 Danish kroner ($4,027 U.S. dollars) held in an escrow account subject to normal closing conditions before it will be released to the Company. The pre-tax loss recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from the divestiture was reported in “Other income (expenses)” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on Form 10-K. The loss was comprised of the proceeds and an asset recognized for the escrow funds not yet released from buyer, less deal-related costs and the net assets of the business.

(4) REALIGNMENT ACTIVITIES

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, management initiated a plan to streamline segment support across the Company and reduce costs through an organizational realignment program (the “Realignment Program”). The Realignment Program provides for a reduction in force through a voluntary early retirement program and other headcount reduction actions, which are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2023. The Board of Directors has authorized the incurrence of cash charges up to $36,000 in connection with the Realignment Program. Severance and other employee benefit costs are expected to total up to approximately $16,000 within the Infrastructure segment, $10,000 within the Agriculture segment, and $10,000 within Corporate expense, including charges recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded the following pre-tax expenses for the Realignment Program:

(5) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:


	Infrastructure		Agriculture		Total
Gross balance as of December 31, 2022	$	473,551	$	313,777	$	787,328
Accumulated impairment losses		(47,467)		—		(47,467)

Balance as of September 30, 2023	$	423,559	$	211,458	$	635,017


	Infrastructure		Agriculture		Total
Gross balance as of September 30, 2023	$	472,941	$	331,458	$	804,399
Accumulated impairment losses		(49,382)		(120,000)		(169,382)
Balance as of September 30, 2023	$	423,559	$	211,458	$	635,017

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment utilizing a quantitative test on all of its reporting units using a measurement date of September 2, 2023. The fair values of the reporting units were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis which requires the Company to estimate the future cash flows as well as select a risk-adjusted discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows.

The carrying value for two of the reporting units, Agriculture Technology and India Structures, exceeded their respective estimated fair value. As a result, impairments of $120,000 and $1,915 were recognized in the Agriculture and Infrastructure segments, respectively. For the Agriculture Technology reporting unit, the recent less favorable outlook for the agriculture market in North America and the slower than expected adoption rate of the agronomy software solution led to a reduction in forecasted sales. These reduced forecasted cash flows resulted in a lower fair value of the Agriculture Technology reporting unit when discounted back to the present value. For the India Structures reporting unit, assumptions around future cash flows including working capital requirements resulted in the impairment of its goodwill.

Intangible Assets

The components of intangible assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Gross				Gross
	Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying		Accumulated
	Amount		Amortization		Amount		Amortization
Amortizing intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	219,467	$	152,718	$	222,716	$	145,502
Patents & proprietary technology		58,439		44,673		58,404		21,291
Trade names		2,870		952		2,850		645
Other		4,676		4,393		2,462		2,164
Non-amortizing intangible assets:
Trade names		57,536		—		59,785		—
	$	342,988	$	202,736	$	346,217	$	169,602

Amortizing intangible assets carry a remaining weighted average life of approximately four years. Amortization expense was $5,191 and $15,606 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $5,386 and $16,766 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022, respectively. Based on amortizing intangible assets recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023, amortization expense is estimated to average $10,122 for each of the next five fiscal years.

The Company’s indefinite-lived trade names were tested for impairment as of September 2, 2023. The values of each trade name were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this evaluation, the carrying value of one trade name exceeded its estimated fair value. An impairment charge of $1,656 was recognized within the Infrastructure segment.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company tested the recoverability of a certain amortizing proprietary technology intangible asset related to Prospera included within the Agriculture Technology reporting unit due to identified impairment indicators. The Company determined the carrying value of the asset exceeded the total undiscounted estimated future cash flows and reduced the asset to its fair value. An impairment charge of $17,273 was recognized within the Agriculture segment.

(6) CASH FLOW SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for interest and income taxes (net of refunds) for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022 were as follows:


	Thirty-nine weeks ended
	September 30,		September 24,

Diluted	$	(2.34)	$	3.34	$	5.40	$	9.77

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reported a net loss. In periods in which the Company recognizes a net loss, the Company excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation, as its inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

As of September 30, 2023, there were 42,774 outstanding stock options with exercise prices exceeding the market price of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. As of September 24, 2022, there were no outstanding stock options with exercise prices exceeding the market price of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The Company manages interest rate risk, commodity price risk, and foreign currency risk related to foreign currency denominated transactions and investments in foreign subsidiaries. Depending on the circumstances, the Company may manage these risks by utilizing derivative financial instruments. Some derivative financial instruments are marked to market and recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, while others may be accounted for as fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedges. Derivative financial instruments have credit and market risk. The Company manages these risks of derivative instruments by monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that can be taken and by entering into transactions with counterparties who are recognized, stable multinational banks. Any gains or losses from net investment hedge activities remain in AOCI until either the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the related subsidiaries.

Fair value of derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:


		September 30,		December 31,
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:	Balance Sheet location	2023		2022
Commodity forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	655	$	—
Commodity forward contracts	Other accrued expenses		(2,208)		(3,854)

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into commodity forward contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to future purchases. The gain (loss) realized upon settlement for each will be recorded in “Product cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period consumed. Notional amounts, purchase quantities, and maturity dates of these forward contracts as of September 30, 2023 were as follows:


	Notional		Total	Maturity
Commodity Type	Amount		Purchase Quantity	Dates
Steel hot rolled coil	$	20,906	25,000 short tons	October 2023 to April 2024
Natural gas		5,364	1,170,475 MMBtu	October 2023 to October 2025
Diesel fuel		658	1,512,000 gallons	October 2023 to June 2024

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, a subsidiary with a Euro functional currency entered into a foreign currency forward contract to mitigate foreign currency risk related to a large customer order denominated in U.S. dollars. The forward contract, which qualified as a fair value hedge, had a notional amount to sell $1,800 in exchange for a stated amount of Euros and matured in April 2023.

Net Investment Hedges

In fiscal 2019, the Company entered into two fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps (“CCS”), swapping U.S. dollar principal and interest payments on a portion of its 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2044 for Danish krone (“DKK”) and Euro denominated payments. The CCS were entered into in order to mitigate foreign currency risk on the Company’s Euro and DKK investments and to reduce interest expense. Interest is exchanged twice per year on April 1 and October 1.

The Company designated the initial full notional amount of the two CCS ($130,000) as a hedge of the net investment in certain Danish and European subsidiaries under the spot method, with all changes in the fair value of the CCS that are included in the assessment of effectiveness (changes due to spot foreign exchange rates) recorded as cumulative foreign currency translation within AOCI. Net interest receipts will be recorded as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the CCS.

In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2022, the Company settled the DKK CCS and received proceeds of $3,532. Due to the sale of the offshore wind energy structures business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company reclassified the cumulative net investment hedge gain of $4,827 ($3,620 after-tax) from AOCI to “Other income (expenses)” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as of December 31, 2022 on Form 10-K.

Key terms of the Euro CCS are as follows:


	Notional			Swapped	Set Settlement
Currency	Amount		Termination Date	Interest Rate	Amount
Euro	$	80,000	April 1, 2024	2.825%	€	71,550

(9) BUSINESS SEGMENTS & RELATED REVENUE INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments based on its management structure. Each segment is global in nature with a manager responsible for segment operational performance and the allocation of capital within the segment. Corporate expense is net of certain service-related expenses that are allocated to business units generally on the basis of employee headcounts and sales dollars.

Reportable segments are as follows:

INFRASTRUCTURE: This segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, solar, lighting and 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 fiscal 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 the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based upon operating income (loss) and return on invested capital. The Company’s operating income (loss) for segment purposes excludes unallocated Corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, non-operating income and deductions, and income taxes.

Valmont Industries, Inc. (the “Company”, “Valmont”, “we”, “us”, “our”), headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is a global leader that provides vital infrastructure and advances agricultural productivity while driving innovation through technology.

Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of experience in the industries in which the Company operates, as well as management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control), and assumptions. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. Many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operating efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, geopolitical risks, and actions and policy changes of domestic and foreign governments.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, and the management’s discussion and analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Segment net sales in the table below and elsewhere are presented net of intersegment sales.

Overview, Including Items Impacting Comparability

On a consolidated basis, net sales decreased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, with lower sales in the Agriculture segment partially offset by higher sales in the Infrastructure segment. The third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023 were also impacted by the decrease in sales in the Other segment due to the divestiture of the offshore wind energy structures business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Steel prices for both hot rolled coil and plate have remained volatile over the past two fiscal years, especially in North America. Decreases in the average cost of consumed steel combined with recent customer pricing strategy mechanisms more than offset overall decreases in volumes in both the Infrastructure and Agriculture segments on a consolidated basis for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, management initiated a plan to streamline segment support across the Company and reduce costs through an organizational realignment program (the “Realignment Program”). The Realignment Program provides for a reduction in force through a voluntary early retirement program and other headcount reduction actions, which are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2023. The Board of Directors has authorized the incurrence of cash charges up to $36.0 million in connection with the Realignment Program. Severance and other employee benefit costs are expected to total up to approximately $16.0 million within the Infrastructure segment, $10.0 million within the Agriculture segment, and $10.0 million within Corporate expense, including charges recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company acquired HR Products, a leading wholesale supplier of irrigation parts in Australia, included in the Agriculture segment.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company acquired approximately 51% of ConcealFab, a telecommunications technology company that offers 5G infrastructure and passive intermodulation mitigation solutions in Colorado, included in the Infrastructure segment.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company divested Torrent Engineering and Equipment, an integrator of prepackaged pump stations in Indiana, included in the Agriculture segment.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company divested Valmont SM, an offshore wind energy structures business in Denmark, included in the Other segment.

Non-cash items of note impacting comparability of results from net earnings (loss) in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 included:

●

charges of $140.8 million ($136.5 million after-tax) related to the impairment of long-lived assets, namely goodwill, and

●

charges of $4.2 million ($3.1 million after-tax) related to realignment activities.

Non-cash items of note impacting comparability of results from net earnings in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 included:

●

charges of $140.8 million ($136.5 million after-tax) related to the impairment of long-lived assets,

●

charges of $4.2 million ($3.1 million after-tax) related to realignment activities,

●

charges of $3.3 million ($2.5 million after-tax) related to amortization of identified intangible assets, and

●

charges of $4.3 million ($3.9 million after-tax) related to stock-based compensation expense for the employees from the Prospera subsidiary acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Non-cash items of note impacting comparability of results from net earnings in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2022 included amortization of identified intangible assets of $1.6 million ($1.3 million after-tax) and $4.9 million ($3.8 million after-tax), respectively, and stock-based compensation expense for the employees from the Prospera subsidiary acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, totaling $2.5 million ($1.9 million after-tax) and $7.5 million ($6.6 million after-tax), respectively. These items were recognized with selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Agriculture segment.

Macroeconomic Impacts on Financial Results and Liquidity

We continue to monitor several macroeconomic trends and geopolitical uncertainties that have impacted or may impact our business, including inflationary cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States (“U.S.”) dollar, rising interest rates, ongoing international armed conflicts, and labor shortages.

Reportable Segments

In addition to the two reportable segments, the Company had a business and related activities in fiscal 2022 that were not more than 10% of consolidated sales, operating income, or assets. This business, essentially our offshore wind energy structures business, was reported in the Other segment until its divestiture in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. All prior period information has been recast to reflect this change in reportable segments. See Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Backlog

The consolidated backlog of unshipped orders as of September 30, 2023 was approximately $1.5 billion as compared to approximately $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is attributed to the Agriculture segment, while Infrastructure backlog remains comparable to prior year end.

Gross Profit, SG&A, and Operating Income (Loss)

On a consolidated basis, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. Gross profit mainly increased due to more favorable input costs more than offsetting lower sales volumes in both the Infrastructure and Agriculture segments.

Consolidated SG&A increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was primarily driven by increased compensation costs. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to increased compensation costs as well as incremental expenses related to the June 2022 acquisition of ConcealFab and higher bad debt reserve charges including approximately $2.7 million related to a Telecommunications customer that became insolvent.

Consolidated operating income (loss) for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, was impacted by the impairment of certain goodwill and intangible assets totaling $140.8 million primarily within the Agriculture Technology reporting unit as well as higher SG&A partially offset by increased gross profit.

Net Interest Expense

Consolidated interest expense increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to additional borrowings on the revolving line of credit along with increasing interest rates.

Other Income / Expenses (including Gain (loss) on Investments - Unrealized)

Amounts in “Gain (loss) on investments - unrealized" include changes in the market value of deferred compensation assets which are offset by an equal opposite amount included SG&A for the corresponding change in the valuation of deferred compensation liabilities. Other items included in “Other income (expenses)” are pension expense and a gain related to the sale of Torrent Engineering and Equipment in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 totaling approximately $3.0 million. Pension expense for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to a pension benefit of $2.4 million and $7.6 million in the same periods of fiscal 2022, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023 was (44.6)% and 41.4%, respectively, as compared to 27.6% and 27.3% in the same periods of fiscal 2022. The change in the effective tax rate reflects the impacts of the impairment of goodwill, for which there is no related tax deduction, and a valuation allowance adjustment in a small foreign operation. Partially offsetting these items are tax benefits from research and development expenses and favorable legislation regarding usage of foreign tax credits generated in Brazil.

Loss (Earnings) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Loss (earnings) attributable to noncontrolling interests reflects the operating results of the subsidiaries the Company does not own 100%.

Infrastructure sales decreased slightly in the third quarter and cumulatively increased the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to lower average selling prices tied to the reduced cost of steel in the quarter primarily related to the Transmission, Distribution, and Substation product line, partially offset by increased volumes overall. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to overall higher average sales prices and volumes. International sales were impacted by unfavorable currency translation effects of $1.8 million and $21.0 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022.

Transmission, Distribution, and Substation sales decreased in the third quarter and increased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to lower average selling prices resulting from contractual pricing mechanisms tied to the price of steel, partially offset by higher sales volumes. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes.

Lighting and Transportation sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, due to higher sales volume and higher average sales prices. The first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, were also negatively impacted by unfavorable currency translation effects totaling approximately $10.4 million.

Telecommunications sales decreased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to decreased sales volumes. The decrease in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was partially offset by increased sales from the second quarter of fiscal 2022 acquisition of ConcealFab along with higher average selling prices. We expect sales for Telecommunications to remain lower until network enhancement spending of the major carriers returns to more elevated levels. As the continued rollout and expansion of 5G wireless technology globally accelerates, sales for our products are expected to grow.

Coatings sales decreased in the third quarter and increased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to lower volumes partially offset by higher average selling prices. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to higher average selling prices partially offset by lower volumes along with an unfavorable currency translation effect totaling approximately $6.3 million.

Infrastructure gross profit and gross profit margin increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022 was due to deflation in the cost of steel in the quarter more than offsetting the decrease in the average selling prices primarily related to the Transmission, Distribution and Substation product line. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022, was due to the reduction in the cost of steel and pricing initiatives.

Infrastructure SG&A increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, was primarily due to higher employment and research and development costs. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, was due to higher employment costs, incremental SG&A from the June 2022 acquisition of ConcealFab totaling $5.4 million, increased bad debt reserve charges including approximately $2.7 million related to a Telecommunications customer that became insolvent, and higher research and development costs.

We expect to incur severance and other employee benefit costs totaling up to $16.0 million within the Infrastructure segment in fiscal 2023 related to the Realignment Program noted above. Of this amount, $1.1 million was recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Infrastructure operating income increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to gross profit improvements more than offsetting increased SG&A.

Agriculture sales decreased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to lower sales volumes of irrigation equipment. In North America, the decrease in Agriculture sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, was impacted by growers’ decisions to delay capital investments due to general economic uncertainty and a number of macroeconomic factors including higher interest rates, continued inflationary pressures, and recessionary fears. The third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 also comparatively benefited from the ongoing delivery of elevated backlog throughout most of 2022. International Agriculture sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, due to increased sales in Argentina and Brazil, and increased project sales in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. Sales of technology-related products and services were similar to last year.

Our Agriculture business is cyclical and is impacted by changes in net farm income, commodity prices, weather volatility, geopolitical factors, and farmer sentiment related to future economic uncertainty. We continue to monitor potential impacts of these factors on our financial results including estimated U.S. net farm income, as released annually by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture. In Brazil, we also actively track changes in soybean and other crop prices and projected farm input costs to evaluate grower sentiment.

Irrigation equipment and aftermarket part sales in North America are expected to remain below prior year levels for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and into fiscal 2024. The previous three years benefited from record levels of disaster relief and pandemic related stimulus for farmers in North America which contributed to higher demand.

Agriculture gross profit increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, due to deflation in the cost of steel and other favorable changes in input costs more than offsetting the impact of lower volumes.

Agriculture SG&A increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to higher employment costs.

We expect to incur severance and other employee benefit costs totaling up to $10.0 million within the Agriculture segment in fiscal 2023 related to the Realignment Program noted above. Of this amount, $0.9 million was recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Agriculture operating income (loss) decreased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the impairment of certain goodwill and other intangible assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 totaling approximately $137.2 million, along with the decreased sales volumes partially offset by gross profit improvements.

Other

In November 2022, the Company completed the sale of Valmont SM, an offshore wind energy structures business with operations in Denmark.

Corporate

Corporate SG&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was comparable to the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and increased for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, was due to increased compensation costs and incremental expense from changes in the valuation of deferred compensation plan liabilities. Charges related to changes in deferred compensation plan liabilities are offset by an opposite change in an equal amount included in “Other income (expenses)” for the change in deferred compensation plan assets.

We expect to incur severance and other employee benefit costs totaling up to $10.0 million within Corporate expense in fiscal 2023 related to the Realignment Program noted above. Of this amount, $2.2 million was recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation Philosophy

We have historically funded our growth, capital spending, and acquisitions through a combination of operating cash flows and debt financing. The following are the capital allocation priorities for cash generated:

●

working capital and capital expenditure investments necessary for future sales growth;

●

dividends on common stock in the range of 15% of the prior fiscal year’s fully diluted net earnings;

●

acquisitions; and

●

return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases.

We intend to manage our capital structure to maintain our investment grade debt rating. Our most recent ratings were Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BBB- by Fitch Ratings, Inc., and BBB+ by S&P Global Ratings. We would be willing to allow our debt rating to fall to BBB- to finance a special acquisition or other opportunity.

Table of Contents

We expect to maintain a ratio of debt to invested capital which will support our current investment grade debt rating.

The Board of Directors in May 2014 authorized the purchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time over twelve months at prevailing market prices, through open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The Board of Directors authorized an additional $250 million of share purchases in February 2015 and again in October 2018, and authorized an additional $400 million of share repurchases in February 2023. These authorizations have no expiration date. The purchases will be funded from available working capital and short-term borrowings and will be made subject to market and economic conditions. We are not obligated to make any repurchases and may discontinue the program at any time. As of September 30, 2023, we have acquired approximately 7.2 million shares for approximately $1,085.3 million under this share repurchase program.

On February 28, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend on the common stock to $0.60 per share, or a rate of $2.40 per share on an annualized basis, an increase of 9% from the prior quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share.

Supplier Finance Program

We have a supplier finance program agreement with a financial institution which allows qualifying suppliers, at their election and on terms they negotiate directly with the financial institution, to sell their receivables from the Company. A supplier’s voluntary participation in the program does not change our payment terms, amounts paid, payment timing, or impact our liquidity, and we have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included $48.6 million and $48.9 million, respectively, of our payment obligations under this program.

Sources of Financing

Our debt financing as of September 30, 2023 consisted primarily of long‑term debt and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Our long‑term debt as of September 30, 2023 principally consisted of:

●

$450.0 million face value ($433.4 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.00% per annum and are due in October 2044, and

●

$305.0 million face value ($295.1 million carrying value) of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.25% per annum and are due in October 2054.

We are allowed to repurchase the notes subject to the payment of a make-whole premium. Both tranches of these notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.

Our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, has a maturity date of October 18, 2026.

The revolving credit facility provides for $800.0 million of committed unsecured revolving credit loans with available borrowings thereunder to $400.0 million in foreign currencies. We may increase the credit facility by up to an additional $300.0 million at any time, subject to lenders increasing the amount of their commitments. The Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Valmont Industries Holland B.V. and Valmont Group Pty. Ltd., are authorized borrowers under the credit facility. The obligations arising under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Valmont Telecommunications, Inc., Valmont Coatings, Inc., Valmont Newmark, Inc., and Valmont Queensland Pty. Ltd.

The interest rate on our borrowings will be, at our option, either:

(a)

term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (based on a 1-, 3- or 6-month interest period, as selected by the Company) plus a 10 basis point adjustment plus a spread of 100 to 162.5 basis points, depending on the credit rating of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt published by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.;

Table of Contents

(b)

the higher of

●

the prime lending rate,

●

the overnight bank rate plus 50 basis points, and

●

term SOFR (based on a one-month interest period) plus 100 basis points,

plus, in each case, 0 to 62.5 basis points, depending on the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt published by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; or

(c)

daily simple SOFR plus a 10 basis point adjustment plus a spread of 100 to 162.5 basis points, depending on the credit rating of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt published by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

A commitment fee is also required under the revolving credit facility which accrues at 10 to 25 basis points, depending on the credit rating of our senior unsecured long-term debt published by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., on the average daily unused portion of the commitments under the revolving credit agreement.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings of $247.3 million and $140.5 million, respectively, under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of October 18, 2026 and contains a financial covenant that may limit our additional borrowing capability under the agreement. As of September 30, 2023, we had the ability to borrow $552.7 million under this facility, after consideration of standby letters of credit of $0.2 million associated with certain insurance obligations. We also maintain certain short‑term bank lines of credit totaling $38.2 million; $34.5 million of which were unused as of September 30, 2023.

Our senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreement each contain cross-default provisions which permit the acceleration of our indebtedness to them if we default on other indebtedness that results in, or permits, the acceleration of such other indebtedness.

The revolving credit facility requires maintenance of a financial leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each of our fiscal quarters, of 3.50 or less. The leverage ratio is the ratio of: (a) interest-bearing debt minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million (but not exceeding $500 million) to (b) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and non-cash charges or gains that are non-recurring in nature, subject to certain limitations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The leverage ratio is permitted to increase from 3.50 to 3.75 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters after certain material acquisitions.

The revolving credit agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants or credit facilities of this type, including, among others, limitations on us and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers and acquisitions, investments, dispositions of assets, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates and prepayments of indebtedness. The revolving credit agreement also provides for acceleration of the obligations thereunder and exercise of other enforcement remedies upon the occurrence of customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods, as applicable).

As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants related to these debt agreements.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters and the leverage ratio are presented in the tables below in Selected Financial Measures.

Cash Uses

Our principal cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, payments of principal and interest on our debt, payments of taxes, contributions to the pension plan, and, if market conditions warrant, occasional investments in, or acquisitions of, business ventures. In addition, we regularly evaluate our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock, all consistent with the terms of our debt agreements.

Our businesses are cyclical, but we have diversity in our markets from a product, customer, and a geographical standpoint. We have demonstrated the ability to effectively manage through business cycles and maintain liquidity. We have consistently generated operating cash flows in excess of our capital expenditures. Based on our available credit facilities, our senior unsecured notes, and our history of positive operational cash flows, we believe that we have adequate liquidity to meet our needs.

Table of Contents

We have cash balances of $172.6 million as of September 30, 2023 with approximately $142.2 million held in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we distributed our foreign cash balances, certain taxes would be applicable. As of September 30, 2023, we have a liability for foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

The following table includes a summary of our cash flow information for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022:

Investing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 primarily included capital spending of $67.1 million and the acquisition of ConcealFab for $39.3 million. We expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $100 million to $110 million for fiscal 2023.

Financing Cash Flows – Cash used in financing activities totaled $111.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, as compared to $79.1 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2022.

The financing cash used in the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 was primarily the result of borrowings on the revolving credit agreement and short-term notes of $239.6 million offset by principal payments on our long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $263.5 million, dividends paid of $34.1 million, the purchase of treasury shares of $20.5 million, and the purchase of noncontrolling interests of $7.3 million.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

We are providing the following information in compliance with Rule 3-10 and Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X with respect to our two tranches of senior unsecured notes. All of the senior notes are guaranteed, jointly, severally, fully, and unconditionally (subject to certain customary release provisions, including sale of the subsidiary guarantor, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets) by certain of the Company’s current and future direct and indirect domestic and foreign subsidiaries (collectively the “Guarantors”). The Parent is the Issuer of the notes and consolidates all Guarantors.

The financial information of Issuer and Guarantors is presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances and transactions between Issuer and Guarantors eliminated. The Issuer’s or Guarantors’ amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-guarantor subsidiaries are separately disclosed.

Selected Financial Measures

We are including the following financial measures for the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is one of our key financial ratios in that it is the basis for determining our maximum borrowing capacity at any one time. Our bank credit agreements contain a financial covenant that our total interest‑bearing debt not exceed 3.50 times Adjusted EBITDA (or 3.75 times Adjusted EBITDA after certain material acquisitions), calculated on a rolling four fiscal quarter basis. The bank agreements outline adjustments for non-cash stock-based compensation and non-cash charges or gains that are non-recurring in nature, subject to certain limitations, to be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. If this financial covenant is violated, we may incur additional financing costs or be required to pay the debt before its maturity date. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure and, accordingly, 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 calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters (September 25, 2022 to September 30, 2023) was as follows:

Leverage Ratio – Leverage ratio is calculated as the sum of interest-bearing debt minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million (but not exceeding $500 million) divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The leverage ratio is one of the key financial ratios in the covenants under our major debt agreements and the ratio cannot exceed 3.50 (or 3.75 after certain material acquisitions), calculated on a rolling four fiscal quarter basis. If those covenants are violated, we may incur additional financing costs or be required to pay the debt before its maturity date. Leverage ratio is a non-GAAP measure and, accordingly, 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 calculation of this ratio as of September 30, 2023, was as follows:


	September 30,
Dollars in thousands	2023
Interest-bearing debt, excluding origination fees and discounts of $26,481	$	1,008,321
Less: cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50,000		122,566
Net indebtedness	$	885,755
Adjusted EBITDA		642,209
Leverage ratio		1.38

Financial Obligations and Financial Commitments

There have been no material changes to our financial obligations and financial commitments as described on page 33 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies involve judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There is a substantial amount of management judgment used in preparing financial statements. We must make estimates on a number of items, such as impairments of long-lived assets, income taxes, revenue recognition for the product lines recognized over time, inventory obsolescence, and pension benefits. We base our estimates on our experience and on other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Further, we re-evaluate our estimates from time to time and as circumstances change. Actual results may differ under different assumptions or conditions. The selection and application of our critical accounting policies are discussed annually with our audit committee.

Other than the below, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies as described on pages 38 to 41 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 during the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We annually evaluate our reporting units for goodwill impairment during the third fiscal quarter, which usually coincides with our strategic planning process. We estimated the value of all fourteen of the reporting units identified for the fiscal 2023 goodwill impairment analysis utilizing a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model uses projected after-tax cash flows from operations (less capital expenditures) discounted to present value. We perform sensitivity analyses to determine what the impact of changes in key assumptions, including discount rates and cash flow forecasts, may have on the valuation of the reporting units.

For the fiscal 2023 annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of two of our reporting units was less than their respective carrying value. As a result, a $120.0 million impairment of our Agriculture Technology reporting unit and a $1.9 million impairment of our India Structures reporting unit were recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

The primary drivers for the reduction in the estimated fair value of the Agriculture Technology reporting unit are the recent less favorable outlook for the North American agriculture market and lower revenue projections for the Prospera agronomy software solutions. A higher weighted average cost of capital, primarily driven by increases in overall interest rates since the date of our last annual impairment test, and lower long-term revenue growth rate assumptions also partially contributed to the reduction in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.

For the India Structures reporting unit, assumptions around future cash flows including working capital requirements resulted in the impairment of the goodwill.

Table of Contents

For all reporting units, if our assumptions on discount rates and future cash flows change as a result of events or circumstances, and we believe these assets may have declined in value, then we may record impairment charges, resulting in lower profits. Our reporting units are all cyclical and their sales and profitability may fluctuate from year to year. We continue to monitor changes in the global economy that could impact future operating results of our reporting units. If such adverse conditions arise, we will test impacted reporting units for impairment prior to the annual test. In the evaluation of our reporting units, we look at the long-term prospects for the reporting unit and recognize that current performance may not be the best indicator of future prospects or value, which requires management judgment.

For three of our reporting units, Europe, Middle East & Africa Structures, Asia Pacific Highway Safety and Asia Pacific Access Systems, the amount of cushion or excess fair value above carrying value was less than 5%. We have identified cost saving initiatives within these reporting units and believe they will continue to generate positive cash flows in excess of their current carrying value, however, we will continue to monitor their prospects for growth and continuous improvement. Should our assumptions around these businesses change negatively, there could be additional triggers for another goodwill assessment in the future.

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names. We assess the values of these assets apart from goodwill as part of the annual impairment testing. We use the relief-from-royalty method to evaluate our trade names, under which the value of a trade name is determined based on a royalty that could be charged to a third party for using the trade name in question. The royalty, which is based on a reasonable rate applied against estimated future sales, is tax-effected and discounted to present value. Based on our fiscal 2023 annual testing, the carrying value of one trade name exceeded its estimated fair value. An impairment of $1.7 million was recognized within the Infrastructure segment.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company tested the recoverability of a certain amortizing proprietary technology intangible asset related to Prospera included within the Agriculture Technology reporting unit due to identified impairment indicators. The Company determined the carrying value of the asset exceeded the total undiscounted estimated future cash flows and reduced the asset to its fair value. An impairment of $17.3 million was recognized within the Agriculture segment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. For additional information, refer to the section "Risk Management" on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.

On May 13, 2014, we announced a new capital allocation philosophy which covered both the quarterly dividend rate as well as a share repurchase program. The Board of Directors at that time authorized the purchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time over twelve months at prevailing market prices, through open market or privately-negotiated transactions. On February 24, 2015 and again on October 31, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized an additional purchase of up to $250 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock with no stated expiration date. On February 28, 2023, the Board of Directors increased the amount remaining under the program by an additional $400 million, with no stated expiration date, bringing the total authorization to $1.4 billion. As of September 30, 2023, we have acquired 7,181,687 shares for approximately $1,085.3 million under this share repurchase program.
