ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY REPAIR CAMPAIGN AND ESTABLISHES CHARGE TO EARNINGS OMAHA, NEB., AUGUST 3, 2005--Lindsay Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: LNN) today announced a voluntary repair campaign of the end gun solenoid valves on certain Zimmatic irrigation systems manufactured after 1993. The campaign involves the grounding of the end gun solenoid valves to eliminate the risk of electrical shock. The end gun solenoid valve is field-installed on new Zimmatic irrigation systems. Lindsay has learned that, over time, as the valve deteriorates, water may enter the valve body causing it to become electrically shorted creating the risk of electrical shock during repair or servicing. As part of the repair campaign, Lindsay is reminding the owners of the affected Zimmatic irrigation systems and its dealers that they should follow all manufacturers' instructions, which include turning off power to the system before repairing or servicing any electrical component on a Zimmatic system. "The safety of our irrigation systems is our top priority," said Rick Parod, president and chief executive officer of Lindsay. "We are moving quickly to voluntarily repair the affected Zimmatic end gun solenoids." The company will record a pre-tax charge of $1.5 million, or approximately $0.09 per diluted share after-tax, during its fiscal 2005 fourth quarter for estimated costs associated with the repair campaign. ABOUT THE COMPANY Lindsay manufactures and markets Zimmatic, Greenfield, Stettyn and Perrot center pivot, lateral move and hose reel irrigation systems and GrowSmart controls, all of which are used by farmers to increase or stabilize crop production while conserving water, energy, and labor. The company also produces large diameter steel tubing and provides outsourced manufacturing and production services for other companies.
