Forward guidance

Lindsay Corporation anticipates robust sales volume levels in developed international markets, led by strong demand in Brazil, and expects to see a more meaningful positive impact of increased U.S. infrastructure spending on its infrastructure business in fiscal 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Order levels running ahead of the prior year.
  • Sales volume levels in developed international markets to remain robust, led by strong demand in Brazil.
  • Continuing project opportunities in developing markets supported by continuing global concerns over food security and global grain supplies.
  • Expect to see a more meaningful positive impact of increased U.S. infrastructure spending on our infrastructure business in fiscal 2024.
  • Actively manage projects in Road Zipper System sales funnel.

Headwinds

  • Current commodity prices and U.S. net farm income projections, although lower compared to the marked strength seen a year ago, continue to support demand for irrigation equipment in North America.
  • The timing of when Road Zipper System projects will be executed is difficult to predict.
