Valmont Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results and
Raises Full-Year 2025 Adjusted Earnings per Share Outlook

OMAHA, Neb.-- Valmont® Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a global leader that provides products and solutions to support vital infrastructure and advance agricultural productivity, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2025.

President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum commented, “Our third quarter results reflect strong execution on our 2025 priorities and long-term value drivers. The Infrastructure segment delivered solid growth, led by robust Utility demand, improved factory throughput, and progress on our North American capacity expansions. While Agriculture markets remain challenged and our results reflect those conditions, our teams are executing with discipline and agility, positioning the business for long-term growth. Across Valmont, we’re channeling our efforts toward the areas of greatest opportunity – deploying resources where they create the most value, advancing innovation, and enhancing performance, while operating with greater clarity and speed. Given our results and the momentum across the organization, we’re raising our full-year earnings guidance. I’m proud of our team, whose dedication and culture of excellence continue to create lasting value.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights (all metrics compared to Third Quarter 2024 unless otherwise noted)

Net sales increased 2.5% to $1.05 billion, compared to $1.02 billion; double-digit sales growth in Utility and Telecommunications was offset by lower Agriculture and Solar sales
Operating income increased 12.5% to $141.5 million or 13.5% of net sales, compared to $125.7 million or 12.3% of net sales
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) increased 21.2% to $4.98, compared to $4.11
Cash and cash equivalents were $226.1 million and net leverage ratio was ~0.9x
Returned $39.2 million to shareholders through $25.8 million in share repurchases and $13.4 million in dividends
Invested $41.9 million in capital expenditures to support strategic growth initiatives
Increased backlog by $293.2 million or 20.4% since year-end 2024, driven primarily by continued strength in Utility market demand
Raising full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS outlook to a range of $18.70 to $19.50, reflecting a higher midpoint

Third Quarter 2025 Segment Review (all metrics compared to Third Quarter 2024 unless otherwise noted)

Infrastructure (77.1% of Net Sales)

Products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, lighting, transportation, telecommunications, and solar, along with coatings services to protect metal products

Sales increased 6.6% to $808.3 million, compared to $758.6 million.

Utility sales grew 12.3% due to favorable pricing and higher volumes. Telecommunications sales increased meaningfully, supported by strong execution and alignment with carrier spending programs. Coatings sales were higher, benefiting from healthy infrastructure demand. These gains were partially offset by a significant decline in Solar sales following the Company’s decision earlier this year to exit certain markets, and by reduced Lighting & Transportation sales driven by lower volumes in the Asia-Pacific region and softer lighting market demand in North America.

Operating income increased 15.9% to $143.4 million or 17.8% of net sales, compared to $123.7 million or 16.3% of net sales. The improvement was primarily attributable to higher pricing and volumes, and an improved global cost structure.

Agriculture (22.9% of Net Sales)

Center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture

Sales decreased 9.0% to $241.3 million, compared to $265.3 million.

In North America, irrigation equipment sales declined amid continued agriculture market softness. International sales were also lower, primarily due to the timing of project sales in the Middle East.

Operating income decreased 19.7% to $23.2 million or 9.7% of net sales, compared to $28.9 million or 11.0% of net sales. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes and higher credit loss expense in Brazil related to specific customer receivables.

Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on assumptions made by management, considering its experience in the industries where Valmont operates, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. It is important to note that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Valmont’s control), and assumptions. While management believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These factors include, among other things, risks described in Valmont’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company’s actual cash flows and net income, future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operational 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 by domestic and foreign governments, including tariffs. The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements in this release are made as of its publication date and does not undertake to update these statements, except as required by law.

The Company’s guidance includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate) presented on a forward-looking basis. These measures are typically calculated by excluding the impact of items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, realignment or restructuring expenses, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, changes in tax laws or rates, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided, as the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the timing and financial impact of such items. For the same reasons, the Company cannot assess the likely significance of unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Website and Social Media Disclosure

The Company uses its website and social media channels, as identified on its website, to distribute company information. Posts on these channels may contain material information. Therefore, investors should monitor these channels alongside the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of the Company’s website and social media channels are not considered part of this press release.

SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company realigned management’s reporting structure for certain composite structure sales and, accordingly, revised its presentation of sales across product lines to reflect how the product is currently managed. The reporting for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 was adjusted to conform to the realigned presentation. As a result, Utility product line sales increased and Lighting and Transportation product line sales decreased by $6,684 and $26,879 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, respectively.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to assess the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, evaluate operational profitability on a consistent basis, factor into executive compensation decisions, and enhance transparency for the investment community. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important to note that other companies may calculate these measures differently, which can limit their usefulness for comparison across organizations.

The following non-GAAP measures may be included in financial releases and other financial communications:

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate: These metrics provide meaningful supplemental insights into the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that are not considered part of core operating results. This approach enhances comparability across reporting periods. Adjustments may include costs or benefits associated with acquisitions, divestitures, expenses related to realignment or restructuring programs, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, significant expenses or benefits from changes in tax laws or rates, cumulative effects of changes in accounting standards, refinancing-related expenses, a loss or a gain from a partial or full settlement of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan obligation, losses from natural disasters, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA: This metric is a key component of a financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements. It is calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments as outlined in the applicable debt agreements. This metric offers investors and analysts valuable insights into the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also used to evaluate profitability.
Leverage Ratio: This ratio is calculated by taking the sum of interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), and dividing it by Adjusted EBITDA. This is a key financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements and is calculated on a rolling four-fiscal-quarter basis.
Free Cash Flow: Calculated as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, free cash flow serves as an indicator of the Company’s financial strength. However, this measure does not fully reflect the Company’s ability to deploy cash freely, as it has obligations such as debt repayments and other fixed commitments.
Backlog: This operating measure is used to evaluate future potential sales revenue. An order is included in the backlog upon receipt of a customer purchase order or the execution of a sales order contract. Backlog is particularly relevant to the Infrastructure segment due to the longer-term nature of its projects. However, backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and does not measure contract profitability. It should not be viewed as the sole indicator of future revenue, as many projects with short lead times book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in the backlog.
Constant Currency: Defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
ROIC: Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and adjusted ROIC are key operating ratios that enable investors to assess our operating performance relative to the investment needed to generate operating profit. ROIC is calculated as after-tax operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as after-tax adjusted operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Invested capital represents total assets minus total liabilities (excluding interest-bearing debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests).
