The global leader in irrigation and infrastructure solutions, Lindsay Corporation, announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, ending February 29, 2024. Despite facing changing market conditions, the company reported a total revenue of $151.5 million, showing a decline of 9% compared to the same period last year.

This decrease was mainly due to lower revenues in the irrigation segment. However, there was a positive impact from an improved sales mix and better infrastructure results, particularly with increased lease revenues from the Road Zipper System. Despite challenges, Lindsay Corporation maintained steady net earnings of $18.1 million, with diluted earnings per share rising slightly to $1.64 from $1.63 in the previous year's quarter.

Lindsay Corporation Misses Revenue Expectations for Fiscal Q2

The company's performance in the quarter fell short of market expectations, with projected earnings per share of $1.56 and revenue of $172.06 million. Lindsay Corp. reported earnings per share of $1.64 and revenue of $151.52 million for the quarter.

The decrease in revenue can be linked to a significant drop in irrigation demand in Brazil, balanced by stable demand in North America. The agriculture sector in Brazil faced challenges due to lower commodity prices and reduced crop yields, impacting grower profitability and investment capacity. In contrast, the North American market remained strong, benefiting from solid farm profits from the previous year.

The infrastructure segment offered some positive news with margin expansion, driven by the growth in the Road Zipper System leasing business, leading to a more favorable revenue mix.

Lindsay Corporation Expects Decline in US Net Farm Income for 2024

Looking forward, Lindsay Corporation provided guidance reflecting challenges and opportunities. With the expected decline in U.S. net farm income for 2024 as per USDA projections, demand for irrigation equipment in the remaining fiscal year could be affected.

This outlook is worrying as it is below broader market expectations, indicating possible challenges for the agriculture sector. Nonetheless, Lindsay is optimistic about growth prospects in South America, particularly in Brazil, although current market conditions may impact demand in the short term.

On a positive note, the infrastructure segment is poised for growth, driven by anticipated increases in U.S. infrastructure spending and continued expansion of Road Zipper System lease revenues. However, the timing of project sales remains uncertain due to various execution variables.
