Lindsay Corporation Reports Fiscal 2009 Third Quarter Results

OMAHA, Neb., July 1, 2009—Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading provider of irrigation systems and infrastructure products, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended May 31, 2009.

Third Quarter Results

Third quarter fiscal 2009 total revenues of $84.6 million decreased 41 percent from $143.6 million in the same prior year period. Net earnings were $5.3 million or $0.42 per diluted share compared with $14.1 million or $1.15 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter.

Total irrigation equipment revenues decreased 45 percent to $66.4 million from $120.6 million in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. Domestic irrigation revenues decreased 47 percent, while international irrigation revenues decreased 40 percent as compared to the same prior year period. Infrastructure revenues were $18.2 million compared with $23.0 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 21 percent.

Gross margin was 24.9 percent compared to 25.8 percent a year ago on lower irrigation margins from reduced factory volume. Operating expenses decreased $3.2 million to $13.5 million compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower personnel related costs and were 16.0 percent of sales in 2009 compared with 11.6 percent of sales in the prior year period. Operating income decreased $13.0 million from the prior year period to $7.5 million.

Lindsay’s backlog of unshipped orders at May 31, 2009 was $40.2 million compared with $84.4 million at May 31, 2008. The current backlog includes approximately $19.0 million of quick move barrier for the previously disclosed road project in Mexico City that has been delayed.

Nine Month Results

Total revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 were $262.8 million, a 20 percent decrease from $327.9 million for the prior year’s nine-month period. Total irrigation equipment revenues of $200.7 million declined 23 percent from a year ago, while infrastructure revenues declined 9 percent to $62.1 million. The Company’s operating income for the nine-month period was $18.9 million compared to $42.8 million during the prior year period. Net earnings were $11.7 million or $0.94 per diluted share, as compared to $28.2 million, or $2.29 per diluted share for the prior year period.

Outlook

Rick Parod, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Although agricultural commodity prices improved some during the quarter, farmers remained cautious about making investments in capital goods, negatively impacting demand for irrigation equipment. In the highway infrastructure segment, the Mexico City moveable barrier project continued to be delayed pending resolution of issues between the contractor and the local government. At this point, the Company cannot estimate when or if the issues between the contractor and the local government will be resolved. During the quarter, we continued to reduce operating expenses, including further personnel reductions. Our focus on improving cash flow has resulted in increasing cash and cash equivalents by $44.1 million to $63.2 million compared with the third quarter of last year, as well as reducing debt $6.2 million over the same period.”

Parod added, “As farmers become more confident in their income potential, we expect to see increased investment in improving farm efficiency. In addition, the expanded interest in reducing environmental impacts should be positive for our efficient irrigation and traffic mitigation products.”
