Business Segments

Note 17 – Business Segments

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM utilizes operating income to guide resource allocation across reportable segments as part of the Company’s strategic and annual planning efforts, and to assess segment performance by comparing planned results to actual outcomes.

The CODM manages the Company's business activities in two reportable segments: Irrigation and Infrastructure. The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The CODM evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on segment revenues and operating income, with operating income for segment purposes excluding unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, interest income, interest expense, other income and expenses, and income taxes. Operating income for segment purposes does include general and administrative expenses, selling expenses, engineering and research expenses and other overhead charges directly attributable to the segment. There are no inter-segment sales included in the amounts disclosed.

Irrigation

This reporting segment includes the manufacture and marketing of center pivot, lateral move, and hose reel irrigation systems and large diameter steel tubing, as well as various innovative technology solutions such as GPS positioning and guidance, variable rate irrigation, remote irrigation management and scheduling technology, and industrial internet of things, or "IIoT", solutions. The irrigation reporting segment consists of one operating segment.

Infrastructure

This reporting segment includes the manufacture and marketing of moveable barriers, specialty barriers, crash cushions and end terminals, and road marking and road safety equipment. The infrastructure reporting segment consists of one operating segment.

In fiscal years 2026 and 2025, one customer within the Company's irrigation segment accounted for 12% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated revenues relating to a large irrigation project in the MENA region. In fiscal year 2024, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.
