Forward guidance

Lindsay Corporation anticipates some impact from market delays in Brazil to continue into their third quarter, but their full year outlook remains unchanged. They are encouraged by the outlook for their infrastructure business due to anticipated increases in U.S. infrastructure spending and the strength of their sales funnel.

Tailwinds

  • Strength in U.S. net farm income supports continued investment in irrigation equipment.
  • Demand strength across international markets is supported by expanded production.
  • Positive agricultural market fundamentals and continuing global concerns over food security and global grain supplies.
  • Anticipated increases in U.S. infrastructure spending.
  • Strength of sales funnel.

Headwinds

  • Domestic net farm income is projected to decline in 2023 from record levels in 2022.
  • Market delays in Brazil are expected to continue into the third quarter.
  • Lower revenues in irrigation business were due to international project business in the prior year that did not repeat.
  • Seasonal volume shifts in North America and Brazil.
  • Timing of project execution can be difficult to predict.
