President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum commented, “We delivered another quarter of strong performance, expanding operating margins in both segments and achieving record earnings per share, demonstrating the resiliency of our portfolio, value-based pricing and operational excellence strategies. I’m very pleased with the solid execution by our global teams and our ability to maintain disciplined pricing strategies across the portfolio, despite softer than expected demand in North America agriculture and telecommunications markets. As we look ahead to the remainder of the year, we remain committed to executing on our strategic framework while capitalizing on investments in growth and innovation with a firm commitment to long-term shareholder value creation opportunities across our global businesses.”

Second Quarter 2023 Segment Review

Infrastructure (73.4% of Net Sales)

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

Sales of $770.6 million grew 4.2% year-over-year. Sales growth was driven by favorable pricing globally, higher volumes, notably in the Solar and Transmission, Distribution, and Substation (“TD&S”) product lines, and sales from the ConcealFab acquisition, partially offset by lower Telecommunications volumes.

Operating Income improved to $116.0 million or 15.1% of net sales compared to $84.1 million or 11.4% of net sales in the second quarter of 2022, driven by favorable pricing with improved overall cost of goods sold.

Agriculture (26.6% of Net Sales)

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

Sales of $279.9 million decreased 25.9% year-over-year. The benefit of higher average selling prices of irrigation equipment globally was more than offset by lower volumes. In North America, sales were lower as the second quarter of 2022 benefited from the ongoing delivery of record year-end backlog and growers delaying capital investment decisions in the quarter. International sales were lower as strong sales in Brazil were more than offset by lower sales in the EMEA region, partially due to timing of project sales. Sales of agriculture technology products and services globally were lower due to lower irrigation equipment volumes.

Operating Income decreased to $49.3 million or 17.7% of net sales ($53.2 million or 19.1% adjusted1) compared to $58.0 million or 15.5% of net sales ($62.2 million or 16.6% adjusted1) in the second quarter of 2022. Operating margin improvement was driven by favorable pricing and improved overall cost of goods sold, partially offset by higher SG&A, including incremental R&D expense for technology investments.

Other

Offshore wind energy structures business

As previously announced, the divestiture of the offshore wind energy structures business was completed in December 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, the subsequently-divested business generated sales of $25.4 million and operating income of $0.5 million.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Allocation

The Company generated solid second quarter 2023 operating cash flows of $88.3 million through strong earnings and effectively managing working capital. At the end of the second quarter, cash and cash equivalents were $166.9 million. During the quarter, Valmont repurchased $24.0 million of Company stock, with $346.3 million remaining on the share repurchase program.

Updating 2023 Full Year Financial Outlook and Key Assumptions

Taking into consideration second quarter sales and record diluted earnings per share results, and the near-term demand outlook for North America agriculture and telecommunications markets, the Company is updating its full-year net sales growth outlook from the previous indications that were communicated last quarter and providing updated key assumptions for the year.

  • Expect full-year operating margin improvement compared to 2022
  • 2022 sales include $100 million from the offshore wind energy structures business which was divested at the end of fiscal 2022
  • Effective tax rate of 28% to 29%, primarily due to expected geographic mix of earnings
  • Minimal expected foreign currency translation impact to net sales
  • Capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $105 to $115 million to support strategic growth and digital transformation initiatives

Applbaum continued, “We remain excited in our ability to drive multi-year profitable growth by capitalizing on the strong market drivers across our businesses, despite near-term softness in some markets. In the Infrastructure segment, the long-term need for critical investment globally is supporting multi-year market growth trends. Our backlog remains strong, reflecting the overall robust demand for our products and the trust our customers place in us to solve their most pressing infrastructure needs. We expect continued near-term softness in telecommunications markets as we are seeing capex spending by wireless carriers more aligned with historical trends following record levels of investment. In Agriculture, while market fundamentals remain positive, including projections of historically-high net farm income levels in the U.S., we are expecting modestly lower sales in North America in the second half of the year compared to the first half as growers continue to take a wait-and-see approach to purchasing decisions. The outcomes of the fall harvest should provide more clarity on farmer sentiment and expected buying patterns. International agriculture market demand remains strong driven by a robust project pipeline and continued sales growth in Brazil, supported by the recently-announced government financing program. Therefore, for the balance of the year, we expect international sales growth to more than offset any softness in North America, demonstrating the resilience of our increasingly diverse end markets. We continue to expect profitable growth across the portfolio, with full-year 2023 adjusted operating margins expected to approach 12%, driven by solid execution and supported by a backlog of approximately $1.5 billion. The operating margin improvement, along with a strong second quarter, supports maintaining our full-year earnings per share outlook. The organization is performing well, and our balance sheet remains strong, providing us with ample liquidity to support our capital allocation deployment strategy. We are confident in our ability to achieve our strategic objectives and deliver on our long-term financial targets, creating sustainable shareholder value.”

Valmont has aggregated its business segments into two global reportable segments, as follows.

Infrastructure: This segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, solar, lighting, 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 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 December 2022.

SUMMARY OF EFFECT OF ITEMS ON REPORTED RESULTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

  

The non-GAAP tables below disclose the impact of intangible asset amortization (Prospera) and stock-based compensation recognized for the Prospera employees on fiscal 2023 and 2022 results. We believe the adjustments for Prospera allow for a better investor understanding of Agriculture segment performance related to traditional segment products. Amounts may be impacted by rounding. We believe it is useful when considering company performance for the non-GAAP adjusted net earnings and operating income to be taken into consideration by management and investors with the related reported GAAP measures.

REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF EXCLUDING OTHER SEGMENT NET SALES

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

  

Excluding Other segment net sales from the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2022, which we refer to in this reconciliation as “Adjusted Net Sales”, is a non-GAAP measure. The Other segment net sales were generated by the offshore wind energy structures business which was divested in December 2022. Adjusted Net Sales 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 table below shows how Adjusted Net Sales is calculated from the Company’s Statements of Earnings. Adjusted Net Sales is calculated as total net sales less Other segment net sales. Adjusted Net Sales allows investors to analyze our operating performance in light of the amount of net sales less net sales of a divested business.

REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF FORECASTED GAAP AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

  

The non-GAAP tables below disclose the impact on the range of estimated diluted earnings per share of the (1) amortization of the intangible asset (Prospera) and (2) stock-based compensation for Prospera employees. We believe the adjustments for Prospera allow for a better investor understanding of Agriculture segment performance related to traditional segment products. We believe it is useful when considering company performance for the non-GAAP adjusted net earnings to be taken into consideration by management and investors with the related reported GAAP measures.
