Rhea-AI Summary

Lindsay reported its Q3 fiscal 2024 results, revealing significant financial details and strategic developments. The company achieved diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.85, a 21% increase from $1.53 in the prior year. A notable income tax credit in Brazil contributed $4.8 million to net earnings. Despite achieving a multi-year international irrigation supply agreement worth over $100 million, the firm's total revenues declined by 15% to $139.2 million due to softness in the global irrigation market, particularly in North America and Brazil.

The irrigation segment experienced a revenue drop of 19% to $114.8 million, while the infrastructure segment saw an 11% rise to $24.4 million. Operating income fell by 26% to $19.9 million, mainly due to lower irrigation segment revenues. Nevertheless, net earnings rose to $20.4 million, reflecting a 21% increase from the previous year. Lindsay completed $17.9 million in share repurchases and reported a backlog of $246.9 million in orders. The company expects continued growth in its infrastructure segment, driven by increased U.S. infrastructure spending and international projects.

Insights

The third quarter fiscal results for Lindsay Corporation present a mixed picture for investors. The company reported diluted earnings per share of $1.85, a notable increase from $1.53 in the same period last year. This includes a $4.8 million income tax credit in Brazil, which significantly boosted net earnings. Without this credit, the earnings might not look as positive.

Total revenues declined from $164.6 million last year to $139.2 million this quarter, a drop of 15. The drop in revenue is mainly due to softness in the global irrigation segment, with North American irrigation revenues down 9 and international irrigation revenues falling 31. Despite this, the infrastructure segment showed strength, with revenues increasing by 11 and operating income rising by 76 due to higher Road Zipper System sales and higher lease revenues.

A key takeaway for investors is the large multi-year irrigation supply agreement valued at over $100 million. This project in the MENA region is expected to bolster revenues starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Furthermore, the company completed $17.9 million in share repurchases during the quarter, aligning with its capital allocation priorities to enhance shareholder value. However, the decrease in the irrigation segment's performance due to factors like high precipitation in North America and economic constraints in Brazil might concern some investors.

Overall, while the infrastructure segment's robust performance and the new large-scale project are positive, the significant downturn in the irrigation segment and dependency on future project commencements bring an element of risk. Investors should weigh these factors when considering Lindsay Corporation's future performance.

From a market perspective, Lindsay Corporation's performance in the third quarter reflects sector-specific challenges and opportunities. The irrigation segment faced headwinds due to weather conditions in North America and economic issues in Brazil, leading to a 19 decline in revenues. Lower commodity prices and tight credit availability in Brazil have impacted growers' ability to invest in irrigation equipment, which directly affects Lindsay's sales.

Conversely, the infrastructure segment's performance is encouraging, with a 25.8 operating margin driven by higher sales and lease revenues of the Road Zipper System. This indicates a strong demand for infrastructure products, likely supported by increased U.S. infrastructure spending.

The company's backlog of unfilled orders has increased significantly to $246.9 million from $94.5 million in the same period last year. This includes the substantial MENA project, which underscores Lindsay's potential to secure and execute large-scale projects. However, the timing of revenue recognition from these projects remains uncertain, which could affect short-term financial performance.

For retail investors, it's important to consider the varying performance across segments. The infrastructure segment shows promising growth, while the irrigation segment's issues may persist in the near term. The strategic move towards international projects and ongoing share repurchases reflect confidence in long-term growth, yet short-term volatility remains a possibility.

Infrastructure results support consolidated margin performance, partially offsetting global irrigation market softness

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced results for its third quarter ended on May 31, 2024.

Key Highlights

  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.85 compared to $1.53 in the prior year quarter
  • Recognition of an income tax credit in Brazil adds $4.8 million to net earnings
  • Secured large multi-year international irrigation supply agreement valued at more than $100 million
  • Completed $17.9 million in share repurchases during the quarter

“Market conditions in our irrigation segment continue to weigh on farmer sentiment, resulting in demand softness. In North America, high precipitation levels and wet field conditions across the Midwest contributed to lower sales of irrigation equipment and replacement parts during our third quarter," said Randy Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Brazil, the market continues to be tempered by lower commodity prices and tight credit availability. We remain encouraged by the growing strength and momentum in our infrastructure business, supported by new project sales and momentum in leasing revenues of our Road Zipper System™. The growth and margin expansion we achieved in our infrastructure business for the quarter helped to offset some of the softness in the irrigation business."

"Earlier this month we announced that we had entered into a multi-year supply agreement to provide Zimmatic™ irrigation systems and FieldNET™ remote management and scheduling technology to a significant customer in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The project, valued at more than $100 million, is the largest in Lindsay's history and further demonstrates our ability to execute large-scale and complex projects that address the critical needs of our customers. The execution of this project will help to enhance the customer's ability to increase food production, conserve scarce water resources and improve quality of life. Notably, the attributes of this key project are reflective of the growth opportunities presented in international markets, where secular global trends align with Lindsay's ability to help customers optimize resources while creating sustained value through our leading combination of irrigation hardware and precision technology platforms."

"During the third quarter we also completed share repurchases totaling $17.9 million, which aligns with our capital allocation priorities to utilize our strong balance sheet to enhance shareholder value. Additionally, this further demonstrates our ability to both invest in value creation opportunities, including the $50 million investment in Lindsay, Nebraska announced earlier this year, while also returning cash to shareholders at opportune times."

Revenues for the quarter were $139.2 million, a decrease of $25.4 million, or 15 percent, compared to revenues of $164.6 million in the prior year third quarter. An increase in infrastructure segment revenues was more than offset by lower irrigation segment revenues compared to the prior year third quarter.

Operating income for the quarter was $19.9 million, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 26 percent, compared to operating income of $27.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Operating margin was 14.3 percent of sales, compared to 16.4 percent of sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income and margin resulted mainly from lower irrigation segment revenues and the impact from deleverage of fixed operating expenses. This decrease was partially offset by improved operating income and operating margin in the infrastructure segment.

Net earnings for the quarter were $20.4 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $16.9 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, for the prior year third quarter. The impact of lower operating income was favorably offset by higher other income, driven by increased interest income and favorable foreign currency translation results compared to the prior year third quarter, along with the recognition of an income tax credit in Brazil of $4.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.

Irrigation segment revenues for the quarter were $114.8 million, a decrease of $27.7 million, or 19 percent, compared to $142.6 million in the prior year third quarter. North America irrigation revenues of $68.2 million decreased $6.8 million, or 9 percent, compared to the prior year third quarter. The decrease resulted from a combination of lower unit sales volume of irrigation equipment, lower sales of replacement parts and slightly lower average selling prices compared to the prior year third quarter.

International irrigation revenues of $46.6 million decreased $20.9 million, or 31 percent, compared to the prior year third quarter. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volumes in Brazil and other Latin America markets compared to the prior year third quarter while demand in other markets remained stable. In Brazil, order activity remains constrained due to the impact lower commodity prices have on grower profitability and available liquidity, which is reducing growers' ability to invest in irrigation equipment in the near term. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $0.7 million compared to the prior year third quarter.

Irrigation segment operating income for the quarter was $19.5 million, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 36 percent, compared to the prior year third quarter. Operating margin was 17.0 percent of sales, compared to 21.6 percent of sales in the prior year third quarter. Lower operating income and margin resulted mainly from lower revenues and the impact from deleverage of fixed operating expenses.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the quarter were $24.4 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 11 percent, compared to $22.0 million in the prior year third quarter. The increase resulted from higher Road Zipper System sales and higher lease revenues compared to the prior year third quarter. The impact of higher sales of road safety products in the U.S. was offset by lower sales in international markets compared to the prior year third quarter.

Infrastructure segment operating income for the quarter was $6.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million, or 76 percent, compared to the prior year third quarter. Operating margin was 25.8 percent of sales, compared to 16.2 percent of sales in the prior year third quarter. Increased operating income and operating margin resulted from higher revenues and a more favorable margin mix of revenues with higher Road Zipper System sales and lease revenues compared to the prior year third quarter.

The backlog of unfilled orders as of May 31, 2024, was $246.9 million compared with $94.5 million as of May 31, 2023. Included in these backlogs are amounts of $62.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for orders that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent twelve months. The backlog in both segments was higher compared to the prior year, with the increase in irrigation backlog resulting from the addition of the large project in the MENA region. Revenues for this project are expected to be recognized beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Outlook

Mr. Wood concluded, “We are now in the growing season in North America, when weather conditions will influence crop yields, production estimates and ultimately the direction of crop prices and net farm income for the year. We expect demand in North America to remain tempered until the outlook for net farm income improves. Similarly, we expect current market conditions in Brazil to temper demand for irrigation equipment in the near term, while we remain confident in the longer-term growth opportunity in that market. We expect continued growth in developing international markets driven by the ever-present need to address food security, as evidenced by the large project we secured in the MENA region."

“Supported by increased U.S. infrastructure spending, we expect continued growth in Road Zipper System lease revenues and sales of road safety products. We also remain optimistic regarding our Road Zipper System project sales pipeline; however the timing of individual project recognition remains challenging to predict.”
