International irrigation project in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region remains on schedule
Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on February 28, 2026.
Key Highlights:
Deliveries began for the $80.0 million irrigation and technology project in the MENA region
Irrigation revenues decreased 5 percent as market uncertainty persists
Continued growth in road safety products with Infrastructure revenue up 6 percent, excluding Road Zipper System™ project that was included in the prior year
Completed $25.2 million of share repurchases during the quarter, bringing total repurchases to $55.5 million for the fiscal year
“During the quarter we began shipping the large project in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. While this project remains on schedule, we are exercising caution and prioritizing the safety of our teams in the region," said Randy Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Solid execution of this project is helping to support revenue performance as U.S. market conditions continue to put pressure on commodity prices and constrain demand for irrigation equipment. Credit availability constraints and persistently high interest rates continue to suppress demand in Brazil, resulting in lower order levels this quarter. Excluding the $20 million Road Zipper System project in the prior year, which was not expected to repeat, our infrastructure business increased 6 percent. This growth was driven by a sustained increase in road construction activity supporting increased sales of road safety products. We continued executing against our capital allocation priorities and completed $25.2 million of share repurchases leaving $125 million available under the recent $150 million authorization."
Wood continued, "I am pleased with the resiliency and performance of our teams around the world, as we demonstrate our ability to deliver on project opportunities despite a very volatile macro-economic environment. During the quarter, our Infrastructure team introduced two new road safety products. The Road Runner™ truck-mounted attenuator and the AlphaGuard™ barrier system. These new products highlight our continued investment in innovation and the growing demand for high-performance roadway safety solutions."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $157.7 million, a decrease of $29.3 million, or 16 percent, compared to $187.1 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in both the irrigation and infrastructure segments compared to the prior year.
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $13.0 million, a decrease of $19.1 million, or 59 percent, compared to $32.1 million in the prior year. Lower operating income in both the irrigation and infrastructure segments was partially offset by a reduction in corporate expense. Operating margin was 8.3 percent of sales, compared to 17.2 percent of sales in the prior year.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $12.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared to $26.6 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, in the prior year. Net earnings were impacted by lower operating income and a higher effective tax rate, both of which were partially offset by an increase in other income.

Irrigation segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $141.2 million, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 5 percent, compared to $148.1 million in the prior year. North America irrigation revenues of $71.0 million decreased $6.1 million, or 8 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenues resulted primarily from lower unit sales volume, and was partially offset by higher average selling prices compared to the prior year. Persistent weakness in commodity markets and tempered farmer sentiment continue to constrain demand for irrigation equipment in North America.
International irrigation revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 of $70.2 million decreased $0.8 million, or 1 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volumes in Brazil and timing of project volume in the MENA region, which were partially offset by growth in various other regions. In Brazil, available credit and elevated interest rates continue to limit farmers' ability to invest in capital equipment. Revenues in the current year quarter were favorably impacted by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.0 million compared to the prior year.
Irrigation segment operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $19.5 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 29 percent, compared to the prior year. Operating margin was 13.8 percent of sales, compared to 18.5 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from lower unit sales volume, a higher proportion of international project sales volume and the impact of fixed cost deleverage compared to the prior year.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $16.5 million, a decrease of $22.4 million, or 58 percent, compared to $38.9 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower Road Zipper System revenues as the prior year included a $20 million project that did not repeat. Sales of road safety products increased compared to the prior year.
Infrastructure segment operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 91 percent, compared to the prior year. Operating margin was 7.1 percent of sales, compared to 34.1 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from lower Road Zipper System project revenues compared to the prior year.
The backlog of unfulfilled orders at February 28, 2026 was $151.8 million compared with $127.0 million at February 28, 2025. Included in these backlogs are amounts of $19.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for orders that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent 12 months. The backlog in irrigation increased as a result of the large irrigation project in the MENA region, while the backlog in infrastructure decreased compared to the prior year.
Outlook
Mr. Wood concluded, “In the U.S., irrigation market conditions remain soft as growers await further trade certainty and hope to see improvement in commodity prices. We expect Brazil to return to growth due to the solid drivers of secular demand that support investments in irrigation, although credit constraints and high interest rates will remain a headwind. We will continue delivery of the irrigation project in the MENA region and we expect to recognize approximately $70 million of revenue for the project in our current fiscal year."
“In infrastructure, we anticipate growth in road safety products and are encouraged by the positive feedback we have received on the new products we just introduced at the American Traffic Safety Services Association trade show. We continue to actively manage a robust pipeline of Road Zipper System projects, but we do not expect to deliver a large project in fiscal 2026.”
