Washington, D.C. - April 2nd, 2026 - Lindsay Corporation, a leading global provider of irrigation and steel construction solutions, today announced robust financial results for its fiscal second quarter, demonstrating sustained growth and adaptability in the face of evolving market dynamics. The company's performance significantly exceeded analyst expectations, fueled by strong demand across its core Irrigation and Steel Structures segments. This report confirms a continuing trend of positive performance for Lindsay, building on gains made in previous quarters.

Second quarter sales reached impressive figures, with the Irrigation segment experiencing a noteworthy 12% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge is directly attributable to the escalating adoption of Lindsay's precision irrigation technologies - a response to the increasingly critical issue of water scarcity impacting agricultural operations worldwide. Farmers are recognizing the vital role technology plays in maximizing crop yields while minimizing water consumption, and Lindsay's advanced systems are proving to be a key component in this shift. The company has been heavily investing in technologies like variable rate irrigation (VRI) and remote monitoring, allowing growers to tailor water application to specific field conditions, reducing waste and boosting efficiency. Beyond simple water savings, precision irrigation is allowing farmers to improve crop quality and expand production even in traditionally arid regions.

The Steel Structures segment also contributed significantly to the company's success, posting an 8% increase in sales. This growth is directly tied to continued investment in infrastructure projects, both public and private, and the ongoing strength of the commercial construction sector. Increased governmental spending on infrastructure modernization, particularly in transportation and energy, has created a favorable environment for steel construction, with demand for durable and reliable structures remaining high. Lindsay's steel structures are utilized in a range of applications, from telecommunications towers and transportation infrastructure to commercial buildings and industrial facilities.

"We are incredibly pleased with our performance in the second quarter and the clear indication that our long-term strategies are delivering results," stated Eric Prieve, Chief Executive Officer of Lindsay Corporation. "Our commitment to research and development is at the core of our success, enabling us to deliver innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers. We are not just selling products; we are providing integrated solutions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and profitability."

The company's financial performance reflects this positive outlook. Net income for the quarter totaled $45.6 million, translating to $1.15 per share - a substantial improvement over the $38.2 million, or $0.95 per share, reported in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Demonstrating confidence in its financial health, the board of directors approved a dividend payment of $0.35 per share, rewarding shareholders and reinforcing the company's commitment to returning value.

However, Lindsay Corporation remains pragmatic about future prospects. The company acknowledges the persistent challenges posed by global supply chain disruptions and the volatility of raw material prices - issues that continue to impact industries worldwide. Rising steel costs, in particular, have presented a significant hurdle for manufacturers. Lindsay is actively implementing strategies to mitigate these risks, including diversifying its supply base, strengthening relationships with key suppliers, and exploring alternative materials where feasible. They are also focusing on optimizing their internal processes to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.

Looking ahead, Lindsay Corporation anticipates continued, albeit moderated, growth. The company is cautiously optimistic about the remaining fiscal year, projecting that demand for its irrigation and steel products will remain strong. They are particularly focused on expanding their international footprint, targeting emerging markets with growing populations and increasing infrastructure needs. Expansion into regions experiencing rapid urbanization and agricultural development represents a significant growth opportunity for Lindsay.
