Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lindsay Corporation reported weaker fiscal 2026 second quarter results, with total revenue of $157.7 million, down 16 percent from $187.1 million a year earlier. Operating income fell to $13.0 million from $32.1 million, and diluted earnings per share declined to $1.15 from $2.44 as margins compressed.

The irrigation segment generated $141.2 million of revenue, down 5 percent, as North America sales dropped 8 percent amid soft commodity prices and constrained farmer sentiment, while international revenue slipped 1 percent despite favorable currency. Infrastructure revenue fell 58 percent to $16.5 million, largely because a $20 million Road Zipper System project did not repeat, driving a 91 percent drop in segment operating income.

Management highlighted progress on an $80.0 million irrigation and technology project in the Middle East North Africa region, a growing backlog of $151.8 million, and continued capital returns, including $25.2 million of share repurchases in the quarter and $55.5 million fiscal year-to-date, supported by cash of $186.1 million and total liquidity of about $236 million.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Total revenue declined 16 percent year over year to $157.7 million, with operating income down 59 percent and diluted EPS dropping 53 percent to $1.15, reflecting broad margin and demand pressure.
  • Infrastructure segment performance deteriorated sharply, as revenue fell 58 percent to $16.5 million and operating income dropped 91 percent to $1.2 million, primarily due to the absence of a $20 million Road Zipper System project from the prior year.

Insights

Lindsay delivered notably weaker Q2 results, cushioned by backlog growth and a major MENA project.

Lindsay Corporation saw broad-based earnings pressure in Q2 FY2026. Revenue declined 16% to $157.7 million, with operating income down 59% to $13.0 million and diluted EPS falling to $1.15 from $2.44. Both irrigation and infrastructure segments contributed to the contraction.

In irrigation, total revenue slipped 5% to $141.2 million, as North America struggled with weak commodity prices and tight farm credit, and Brazil remained hampered by elevated interest rates. International revenue held relatively steady, aided by about $4.0 million of favorable currency and initial deliveries on the $80.0 million MENA project.

Infrastructure results were substantially weaker: revenue dropped 58% to $16.5 million and operating income fell 91% to $1.2 million, mainly because a prior-year $20 million Road Zipper System project did not recur. Offsetting this, backlog rose to $151.8 million as of February 28, 2026, and the company continued returning capital, repurchasing $25.2 million of stock in the quarter while maintaining $186.1 million of cash and moderate leverage of about 1.09x gross debt to EBITDA.

Share repurchases $25.2 million Repurchased during Q2 FY2026; $55.5 million year-to-date
MENA project value $80.0 million Irrigation and technology project; about $70 million revenue expected in current fiscal year
Road Zipper System financial
"Excluding the $20 million Road Zipper System project in the prior year, which was not expected to repeat"
A road zipper system is a movable concrete or plastic barrier mounted on a specialized vehicle that shifts lane dividers to change traffic flow quickly, much like sliding a zipper to open or close lanes. Investors care because these systems can increase roadway capacity, improve safety, reduce congestion-related costs, and influence toll revenue and maintenance budgets, affecting the financial return on transportation projects.
operating margin financial
"Operating margin was 8.3 percent of sales, compared to 17.2 percent of sales in the prior year"
Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.
backlog of unfulfilled orders financial
"The backlog of unfulfilled orders at February 28, 2026 was $151.8 million compared with $127.0 million"
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act financial
"Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding includes $110 billion in incremental federal funding for roads, bridges, and other transportation projects"
A major federal law that authorizes large-scale public spending on roads, bridges, public transit, water systems, broadband, electric grid upgrades and other core physical systems. For investors it matters because the law directs predictable government money into specific industries, creating new contracts, steady demand and potential long-term revenue for companies involved—like a government checkbook funding repairs and upgrades to the infrastructure businesses and communities rely on.
Farm Bridge Assistance Program financial
"In December, $12.0 billion Farm Bridge Assistance Program announced $11.0 billion to support row crop farmers"

Lindsay Corporation Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

 

International irrigation project in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region remains on schedule

 

OMAHA, Neb., April 2, 2026 - Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, today announced results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on February 28, 2026.

 

Key Highlights:

 

Deliveries began for the $80.0 million irrigation and technology project in the MENA region
Irrigation revenues decreased 5 percent as market uncertainty persists
Continued growth in road safety products with Infrastructure revenue up 6 percent, excluding Road Zipper SystemTM project that was included in the prior year
Completed $25.2 million of share repurchases during the quarter, bringing total repurchases to $55.5 million for the fiscal year

 

“During the quarter we began shipping the large project in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. While this project remains on schedule, we are exercising caution and prioritizing the safety of our teams in the region" said Randy Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Solid execution of this project is helping to support revenue performance as U.S. market conditions continue to put pressure on commodity prices and constrain demand for irrigation equipment. Credit availability constraints and persistently high interest rates continue to suppress demand in Brazil, resulting in lower order levels this quarter. Excluding the $20 million Road Zipper System project in the prior year, which was not expected to repeat, our infrastructure business increased 6 percent. This growth was driven by a sustained increase in road construction activity supporting increased sales of road safety products. We continued executing against our capital allocation priorities and completed $25.2 million of share repurchases leaving $125 million available under the recent $150 million authorization."

 

Wood continued, "I am pleased with the resiliency and performance of our teams around the world, as we demonstrate our ability to deliver on project opportunities despite a very volatile macro-economic environment. During the quarter, our Infrastructure team introduced two new road safety products. The Road RunnerTM truck-mounted attenuator and the AlphaGuardTM barrier system. These new products highlight our continued investment in innovation and the growing demand for high-performance roadway safety solutions."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $157.7 million, a decrease of $29.3 million, or 16 percent, compared to $187.1 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in both the irrigation and infrastructure segments compared to the prior year.

 

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $13.0 million, a decrease of $19.1 million, or 59 percent, compared to $32.1 million in the prior year. Lower operating income in both the irrigation and infrastructure segments was partially offset by a reduction in corporate expense. Operating margin was 8.3 percent of sales, compared to 17.2 percent of sales in the prior year.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $12.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared to $26.6 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, in the prior year. Net earnings were impacted by lower operating income and a higher effective tax rate, both of which were partially offset by an increase in other income.

Irrigation segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $141.2 million, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 5 percent, compared to $148.1 million in the prior year. North America irrigation revenues of $71.0 million decreased $6.1 million, or 8 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenues resulted primarily from lower unit sales volume, and was partially offset by higher average selling prices compared to the prior year. Persistent weakness in commodity markets and tempered farmer sentiment continue to constrain demand for irrigation equipment in North America.

International irrigation revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 of $70.2 million decreased $0.8 million, or 1 percent, compared to the prior year. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volumes in Brazil and timing of project volume in the MENA region, which were partially offset by growth in various other regions. In Brazil, available credit and elevated interest rates continue to limit farmers' ability to invest in capital equipment. Revenues in the current year quarter were favorably impacted by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.0 million compared to the prior year.

Irrigation segment operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $19.5 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 29 percent, compared to the prior year. Operating margin was 13.8 percent of sales, compared to 18.5 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from lower unit sales volume, a higher proportion of international project sales volume and the impact of fixed cost deleverage compared to the prior year.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $16.5 million, a decrease of $22.4 million, or 58 percent, compared to $38.9 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower Road Zipper System revenues as the prior year included a $20 million project that did not repeat. Sales of road safety products increased compared to the prior year.

 

Infrastructure segment operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 91 percent, compared to the prior year. Operating margin was 7.1 percent of sales, compared to 34.1 percent of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from lower Road Zipper System project revenues compared to the prior year.

 

The backlog of unfulfilled orders at February 28, 2026 was $151.8 million compared with $127.0 million at February 28, 2025. Included in these backlogs are amounts of $19.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for orders that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent 12 months. The backlog in irrigation increased as a result of the large irrigation project in the MENA region, while the backlog in infrastructure decreased compared to the prior year.

 

Outlook

 

Mr. Wood concluded, “In the U.S., irrigation market conditions remain soft as growers await further trade certainty and hope to see improvement in commodity prices. We expect Brazil to return to growth due to the solid drivers of secular demand that support investments in irrigation, although credit constraints and high interest rates will remain a headwind.

2


 

We will continue delivery of the irrigation project in the MENA region and we expect to recognize approximately $70 million of revenue for the project in our current fiscal year."

 

“In infrastructure, we anticipate growth in road safety products and are encouraged by the positive feedback we have received on the new products we just introduced at the American Traffic Safety Services Association trade show. We continue to actively manage a robust pipeline of Road Zipper System projects, but we do not expect to deliver a large project in fiscal 2026.”

FAQ

How did Lindsay Corporation (LNN) perform in Q2 fiscal 2026?

Lindsay Corporation reported weaker Q2 fiscal 2026 results, with revenue and earnings down sharply year over year. Revenue fell 16 percent to $157.7 million, operating income declined to $13.0 million, and diluted EPS dropped to $1.15 from $2.44 as margins compressed across segments.

What were Lindsay Corporation (LNN)'s Q2 2026 irrigation segment results?

The irrigation segment generated lower but still dominant revenue in Q2 2026. Irrigation revenue was $141.2 million, down 5 percent from $148.1 million, with North America down 8 percent and international down 1 percent, pressured by weak commodity prices, farmer sentiment, and tight credit, especially in Brazil.

Why did Lindsay Corporation (LNN)'s infrastructure revenue decline so much in Q2 2026?

Infrastructure revenue fell mainly because a large prior-year project did not repeat. Segment revenue declined 58 percent to $16.5 million, driven by lower Road Zipper System project sales, including the absence of a $20 million project recorded in the previous year, despite higher road safety product sales.

What were Lindsay Corporation (LNN)'s Q2 2026 earnings and EPS?

Net earnings and EPS at Lindsay Corporation declined significantly in Q2 2026. Net earnings were $12.0 million, down from $26.6 million, and diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.15 from $2.44, reflecting lower operating income and a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by higher other income.

How strong is Lindsay Corporation (LNN)'s backlog and liquidity after Q2 2026?

Lindsay exited Q2 2026 with a larger backlog and solid liquidity. Backlog reached $151.8 million versus $127.0 million a year earlier, supported by the large MENA irrigation project. Cash and cash equivalents were $186.1 million, and total available liquidity was about $236 million, alongside $115 million of total debt.

What capital allocation actions did Lindsay Corporation (LNN) take in Q2 2026?

Lindsay continued returning capital to shareholders while investing in the business. The company repurchased $25.2 million of shares in the quarter, bringing fiscal year-to-date buybacks to $55.5 million, and also paid dividends, while maintaining room to invest in growth projects and potential acquisitions.

What is the status of Lindsay Corporation (LNN)'s MENA irrigation project?

Lindsay’s large MENA irrigation and technology project is underway and on schedule. Deliveries began during Q2 2026 on the $80.0 million project. Management expects to recognize approximately $70 million of revenue from this project during the current fiscal year as work progresses.
