Forward guidance

The USDA's initial projection for 2024 U.S. net farm income reflects a substantial decline compared to 2023 levels, which could negatively affect demand for irrigation equipment. Continued growth is expected in Road Zipper System lease revenues due to increased construction activity and U.S. infrastructure spending.

Tailwinds

  • Continued growth in Road Zipper System lease revenues expected.
  • Increased construction activity supported by growth in U.S. infrastructure spending.
  • Execution of Road Zipper System project sales pipeline continues.
  • Confident in the growth opportunity in South America end markets and Brazil in particular.
  • Investment in innovation strategy driving value creation through advanced technology platforms.

Headwinds

  • USDA projects a substantial decline in 2024 U.S. net farm income compared to 2023.
  • Forecasted decline could negatively affect demand for irrigation equipment during the remainder of fiscal 2024.
  • Current market conditions are expected to temper demand for irrigation equipment in South America, at least in the near term.
  • Timing of Road Zipper System project implementation remains challenging to forecast.
  • Significant drop in commodity prices in Brazil during the quarter coupled with the anticipated impact of reduced yields for the current crop has reduced grower profitability and curtailed near-term capital investment capacity.
