[10-Q] Valmont Industries, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Valmont Industries (VMI) posted a Q2 FY25 net loss of $4.0 million (-$1.53 diluted EPS) versus $99.7 million ($4.91) a year ago, driven by $91.3 million of long-lived asset impairments, $64.9 million goodwill write-downs (Solar & Access Systems units) and $8.9 million realignment costs.

Net sales inched up 1% to $1.05 billion; gross margin held at 30.6%. SG&A rose 11% to $191.7 million. Operating income plunged 80% to $29.3 million; operating margin fell to 2.8% (vs 14.2%). Interest expense declined to $10.5 million (-33%), tempering the earnings hit.

For the first half, operating cash flow improved 51% to $232.7 million; FCF after capex was about $170 million. Cash rose to $208.5 million while long-term debt remained stable at $730 million (2.1× annualised EBITDA). Share buybacks totalled $100.9 million (357,979 shares) YTD, leaving 19.74 million shares outstanding.

Balance sheet equity slipped 0.9% to $1.53 billion as impairments and treasury stock offset $31.6 million of OCI gains. Redeemable NCI climbed to $84.1 million after a $26.2 million upward redemption value adjustment (correcting a prior-period error).

Post-quarter: company renewed its $800 million revolver to Jul-2030 (accordion raised to $400 million, lower fees) and is assessing the newly enacted U.S. tax bill; management does not expect material P&L impact.

• $8.9 million restructuring charges and rising SG&A (+11%) pressure profitability.
• Redemption value adjustment increased redeemable NCI by $26 million, depressing EPS.

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR: Impairments swing VMI to loss; core ops flat, cash flow strong, leverage low.

The quarter’s headline loss stems almost entirely from non-cash charges—$156 million of goodwill, intangibles and PP&E write-downs plus $8.9 million restructuring. Ex-charges, EBIT would have approximated $130 million, in line with last year. Revenue was stable, showing resilience in both Infrastructure and Agriculture despite softer telecom and Australian demand. Cash generation is solid; working-capital release and lower capex pushed FCF to ~$170 million YTD, funding buybacks. Net debt/EBITDA remains manageable and the revolver renewal extends liquidity. However, recurring margin pressure, realignment costs and competitive PV tracker dynamics signal execution risk. Near-term sentiment negative, yet the underlying franchise remains intact.

Credit Analyst

TL;DR: Credit profile stable; liquidity enhanced by revolver renewal.

Despite GAAP losses, VMI’s credit metrics are largely unaffected because impairments are non-cash. Interest coverage (EBITDA/interest) remains comfortably above 8× on an adjusted basis; FCF fully covers dividends and buybacks. The extended $800 million revolver (now 2030) with tighter fees and no SOFR add-on improves funding flexibility. No significant maturities until 2044 senior notes. We view the event as neutral to slightly positive for creditors.

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Valmont Industries, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, “Valmont” or the “Company”). Investments in affiliates and joint ventures, where the Company exercises significant influence but lacks control or is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have not been audited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for all periods presented.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. The results of operations for any quarter or a partial fiscal year period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other periods or the full fiscal year.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Finished and manufactured goods inventories include the costs of acquired raw materials and the related factory labor and overhead charges required to convert raw materials into finished and manufactured goods.

As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, inventories consisted of the following:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	June 28,		​	December 28,

Pension Cost

The Company incurs expenses related to the Delta Pension Plan (“DPP”). The DPP was acquired as part of the Delta PLC acquisition in fiscal 2010 and has no members who are active employees. Key assumptions used to measure the pension expenses and benefit obligations include the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, and estimated future inflation rates.

Stock Plans

The Company administers stock-based compensation plans that have been approved by its shareholders. Under these plans, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to grant various types of awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and common stock bonuses. As of June 28, 2025, 1,446,696 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the plans.

Stock options granted under the plans have an exercise price equal to the closing market price on the date of the grant. Options vest beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, either in equal amounts over three years or fully on the grant’s fifth anniversary. The expiration of grants ranges from seven to ten years from the date of the award. Restricted stock units and awards typically vest in equal installments over three or four years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant.

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses (included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) and associated tax benefits as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adheres to the guidelines outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for its measurement. Its provisions also apply to other accounting guidelines that require or allow fair value measurements. According to ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements, which is based on the transparency of inputs used to value an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

● Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

9

Table of Contents

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

● Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

● Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following are the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Deferred Compensation Investments: The Company’s deferred compensation investments include mutual funds invested in debt and equity securities in the Valmont Deferred Compensation Plan. Quoted market prices are available for these securities in an active market. The investments are included in “Other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair values of foreign currency, commodity, and cross-currency swap derivative contracts are based on valuation models that use market-observable inputs, including forward and spot prices for commodities and currencies.

Mutual Funds: The Company has short-term investments in various mutual funds.

The fair value redemption amounts of certain redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs, including estimates of future revenue, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the carrying values of certain long-lived assets that will no longer be utilized were reduced to their respective fair values, based on Level 3 inputs, resulting in impairment charges totaling $19,657 in the Infrastructure segment and $586 in the Agriculture segment.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. See Note 5 for further information.

Unless otherwise specified, the Company believes the carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Leases

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets are included in “Other non-current assets” and the corresponding lease obligations are included in “Other accrued expenses” and “Operating lease liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net earnings (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, certain derivative-related activities, and changes in prior service costs and net actuarial losses related to the pension plan. The results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated using average exchange rates for the reporting period, while assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet dates. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) consisted of the following:

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluates each customer contract to determine the appropriate revenue recognition model based on its type, terms, and conditions. All contracts are fixed price, excluding sales tax from revenue, and do not include variable consideration. Discounts, primarily for early payments, reduce net sales in the period the sale is recognized. Contract revenues are classified as “Product sales” when the performance obligation involves manufacturing and selling goods, and as “Service sales” when the performance obligation involves providing a service. Service revenue is primarily associated with the Coatings product line and the Technology Products and Services product line.

Customer acceptance provisions generally apply only during the design stage, although the Company may agree to other acceptance terms on a limited basis. Customers must approve the design before manufacturing begins and products are delivered. The Company does not earn compensation solely for product design and does not consider design services a separate performance obligation; as such, no revenue is recognized for design services. Customers do not have general rights of return after delivery, and the Company establishes provisions for estimated warranties.

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales, with freight considered a fulfillment obligation rather than a separate performance obligation. Freight expenses are recognized proportionally as the structure is manufactured, in line with revenue recognized from the associated customer contract over time. Except for the Utility, Solar, and Telecommunications product lines, inventory is interchangeable among the various customers within each segment. The Company has elected not to disclose partially satisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. If payment is expected within one year of transferring control of goods or services, the Company does not adjust contract consideration for any significant financing component.

Most customers are invoiced upon shipment or delivery of goods to their specified locations. Contract assets are recognized as revenue is earned over time and are reduced when the customer is invoiced. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company’s contract assets totaled $194,559 and $187,257, respectively, and were recorded as “Contract assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain customers are invoiced through advance or progress billings. When the progress toward performance obligations is less than the amount billed to the customer, the excess is recorded as a contract liability. As of June 28, 2025, total contract liabilities were $132,741, with $132,412 recorded as “Contract liabilities” and $329 as “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 28, 2024, total contract liabilities were $130,696, with $126,932 recorded as “Contract liabilities” and $3,764 as “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional details are as follows:

● During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, the Company recognized $32,560 and $56,943 in revenue, respectively, from amounts included in contract liabilities as of December 28, 2024. This revenue reflects advance payments applied to performance obligations completed during the respective periods.

(Unaudited)

● During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024, the Company recognized $7,230 and $41,509 in revenue, respectively, from amounts included in contract liabilities as of December 30, 2023. This revenue reflects advance payments applied to performance obligations completed during the respective periods.

● As of June 28, 2025, the Company had $329 in remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 to 24 months.

Segment and Product Line Revenue Recognition

Infrastructure Segment

Steel and concrete structures within the Utility and Telecommunications product lines are custom engineered to customer specifications. This customization limits the ability to resell the structures if an order is canceled after production begins. The continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by contractual termination clauses or rights to payment for work performed to date, including a reasonable profit, as these products do not have alternative uses for the Company. As control is transferred over time, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation.

The method used to measure progress requires judgment. Revenue for structures in the Utility and Telecommunications product lines is typically recognized using an input-based method, measuring progress by the ratio of production hours incurred to total estimated hours required. The resulting completion percentage is applied to the total revenue and estimated costs of the order to determine reported revenue, cost of sales, and gross profit. Once production of an order begins, orders are generally completed within three months.

Revenue for the Solar product line is recognized upon shipment or delivery, based on contract terms. In certain Utility product line sales, the Company engages external sales agents and recognizes estimated commissions owed to these agents proportionately as the goods are manufactured.

Revenue from structures sold in the Lighting and Transportation product line, as well as most Telecommunications products, is recognized upon shipment or delivery of goods to the customer, aligning with the billing date. Some large regional customers may have unique specifications for telecommunication structures. When a customer contract includes a cancellation clause that requires payment for completed work plus a reasonable margin, revenue is recognized over time based on hours worked as a percentage of the total estimated hours to complete production.

Revenue from Coatings services, including galvanizing and powder coating, is recognized upon service completion and when the goods are ready for pickup or delivery.

Agriculture Segment

Revenue from irrigation equipment, related parts, services, and tubular products for industrial customers is typically recognized upon shipment, aligning with the billing date. Remote monitoring subscription services within the Technology Products and Services product line are primarily billed annually, with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

The disaggregation of revenue by product line is provided in Note 8.

Supplier Finance Program

In fiscal 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supplier finance program. This program allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the financial institution. These suppliers negotiate directly with the financial institution regarding their outstanding receivables, while the Company’s rights and obligations to suppliers remain unaffected. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s

12

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

decision to participate in the program. Once a supplier opts into the program, they select which individual invoices from the Company to sell to the financial institution. The Company is obligated to pay the negotiated invoice amount to the financial institution on the due date, regardless of whether the supplier has sold the individual invoice.

For any invoices not sold under the supplier finance program, the financial institution pays the supplier on the invoice’s due date. The invoice amounts and scheduled payment terms remain unchanged, regardless of whether the supplier decides to sell under these arrangements. Payments related to these obligations are included in “Cash flows from operating activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, outstanding payment obligations under the Company’s supplier finance program (included in “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) were as follows:

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	June 28,		​	December 28,
​	​	2025			2024
Confirmed obligations outstanding—beginning of period	​	$	45,602	​	$	41,916
Invoices confirmed	​		124,025	​		216,731
Confirmed invoices paid	​		(114,500)	​		(213,045)
Confirmed obligations outstanding—end of period	​	$	55,127	​	$	45,602

​

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company has redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain entities. A noncontrolling interest holder can require the Company to purchase their remaining ownership, referred to as a put right. Likewise, the Company can require a noncontrolling interest holder to sell the Company their remaining ownership, known as a call option. The redemption amount and effective date of these rights vary according to the applicable operating agreements, with some redeemable at fair value and some redeemable at amounts other than fair value.

As a result of these redemption features, the Company records the noncontrolling interests as redeemable and classifies the balances in temporary equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, initially at their acquisition-date fair values. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests each reporting period for the net earnings (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests and any applicable redemption value adjustments. Redemption value adjustments are offset against retained earnings. Earnings (loss) used in the computation of earnings (loss) per share for the reported period are impacted by redemption value adjustments for noncontrolling interests redeemable at amounts other than fair value.

During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025, the Company recorded a $26,243 change in the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the Company’s joint venture agriculture solar business, which was reflected in “Shareholders’ equity” and “Redeemable noncontrolling interests.” This represents a change in redemption value that is treated as an adjustment to net earnings (loss) for purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share. The Company determined that the current-period change in redemption value included the correction of a prior-year error in the determination of the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest totaling $21,792. This correction increased diluted loss per share by $1.10 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025 and decreased diluted earnings per share by $1.09 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025. The Company concluded that the correction was not material to the current period or to any previously issued financial statements.

As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the redeemable noncontrolling interests were $84,062 and $51,519, respectively. The final amounts paid for these interests may vary significantly, as the redemption amounts are contingent on the future operational results of the respective businesses.

Treasury Stock

Repurchased shares are recorded as “Treasury stock” and result in a reduction of “Shareholders’ equity” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company applies the last-in, first-out

13

Table of Contents

VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

method. Any difference between the repurchase cost and the reissuance price is charged or credited to “Additional paid-in capital” (or “Retained earnings” in the absence of “Additional paid-in capital”).

The Company’s capital allocation philosophy includes a share repurchase program. In May 2014, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $500,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock over a twelve-month period, at prevailing market prices, either through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The Board subsequently expanded this authorization in February 2015 and October 2018, each time adding $250,000 with no expiration date. In February 2023, the Board increased the program by an additional $400,000. In February 2025, the Board increased the amount authorized under the program by an additional $700,000, with no stated expiration date, bringing the total authorization to $2,100,000. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had repurchased 8,593,676 shares for approximately $1,433,968 under this program.

Income Taxes

Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, on July 4, 2025, federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States. The Company is continuing to assess its impact. While the legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s income statement, the timing of deductions related to depreciation and research and experimentation, among other changes included in the legislation, is currently under evaluation.

Long-Term Debt

Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company renewed the revolving credit facility, extending the maturity date to July 2030. As a part of the renewal, the facility maintained $800,000 of committed capacity and the same pricing, but the uncommitted accordion feature available under the facility increased from $300,000 to $400,000; the 10-basis-point SOFR adjustment was eliminated from the interest rate calculation; and the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion was reduced and now ranges from 9 to 20 basis points, based on the Company’s credit rating.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update is intended to improve transparency and usefulness in income tax disclosures, particularly in areas such as rate reconciliation and reporting of income taxes paid. The guidance will be adopted prospectively for the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2025. The Company does not expect any impact on its results of operations, as the changes primarily relate to enhanced disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update aims to enhance expense disclosures by providing more detailed information on the types of expenses within commonly presented categories. The guidance is effective on both a prospective and retrospective basis for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any impact on its results of operations, as the changes primarily relate to enhanced disclosures.

​

(2) ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company acquired an additional approximately 9% ownership interest of ConcealFab, Inc. for $7,227 and the remaining ownership interest of Valmont Substations, LLC for $10,518. Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company acquired an additional approximately 30% ownership interest of Valmont Irrigation Argentina B.V. for $14,624. These transactions involved acquiring additional shares of consolidated subsidiaries without resulting in changes in control.

The first payment was received in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, and the second payment is expected to be received in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a pre-tax loss of $2,567 Australian dollars ($1,695 U.S. dollars) was recognized in “Other income (expenses)” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

(4) REALIGNMENT ACTIVITIES

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed a targeted organizational realignment to better align operations and commercial teams, reduce layers of management, and enhance the speed and agility of decision-making across the business. These actions resulted in pre-tax cash charges of $9,794, of which $910 was included in “Product cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded the following pre-tax expenses related to realignment activities:

​

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company identified triggering events that required interim goodwill impairment testing for certain reporting units within the Infrastructure segment. Due to the Company’s strategic exit from the North American solar tracker market, increased competitive pressures in Brazil, and uncertainty surrounding European policies, an interim goodwill impairment test was conducted for the Solar reporting unit. The carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $41,869 within the Infrastructure segment.

Additionally, due to a reduction in forecasted sales primarily resulting from general market weakness in Australia, an interim goodwill impairment test was also performed for the Access Systems reporting unit. The carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $23,000 within the Infrastructure segment.

The fair values of both reporting units were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which required the Company to estimate the future cash flows as well as select a risk-adjusted discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows.

Other Intangible Assets

As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the components of other intangible assets were as follows:

thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to average $9,144 annually over the next five fiscal years, based on amortizing intangible assets reported as of June 28, 2025.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company performed an impairment test on indefinite-lived trade names associated with the Solar and Access Systems reporting units. Using the relief-from-royalty method, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of the trade names exceeded their estimated fair values. As a result, impairment charges of $4,830 were recognized within the Infrastructure segment.

Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an impairment charge of $1,395 was recognized within the Agriculture segment for a customer relationship intangible asset that was determined not to be recoverable.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company reported a net loss. In periods in which the Company recognizes a net loss, the Company excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation, as its inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

As of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, there were 39,543 and 56,261 outstanding stock options, respectively, with exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of common stock during the respective periods. As such, these options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(7) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company manages risks related to interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency, particularly those arising from foreign currency denominated transactions and investments in foreign subsidiaries. To address these risks, the Company may use derivative financial instruments. Depending on their classification, some derivatives are marked to market and recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, while others are accounted for as fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedges.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Derivative financial instruments inherently carry credit and market risks, which the Company mitigates by monitoring exposure limits and transacting with recognized, stable multinational banks as counterparties. Gains or losses from net investment hedge activities remain in AOCI until the related subsidiaries are sold or substantially liquidated.

The fair value of derivative instruments as of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was as follows:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	Condensed Consolidated	​	June 28,		​	December 28,

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into commodity forward, swap, and option contracts to hedge variability in cash flows related to future purchases. Gains (losses) realized upon settlement are recorded in “Product cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the hedged items are consumed. As of June 28, 2025, the details of these contracts were as follows:

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​		Notional		​	Total	​	​
Commodity Type	​	Amount		​	Purchase Quantity	​	Maturity Dates
Hot-rolled coil steel	​	$	16,855	​	20,500 short tons		June 2025 to December 2025

​

Net Investment Hedges

To manage foreign currency risk associated with its euro investments and reduce interest expenses, the Company uses fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swaps (“CCS”). These swaps convert U.S. dollar-denominated principal and interest payments on a portion of its 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2044 into euro‑denominated payments. Interest payments are exchanged biannually on April 1 and October 1.

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

The Company designated the full notional amounts of its CCS as net investment hedges for certain European subsidiaries under the spot method. Changes in fair value of the CCS attributable to spot exchange rates are recorded as cumulative foreign currency translation within AOCI, while net interest receipts reduce interest expense over the life of the CCS. Key terms as of June 28, 2025 were as follows:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​		Notional		​	​	​	Swapped	​	Settlement
Currency	​	Amount		​	Termination Date	​	Interest Rate	​	Amount
Euro	​	$	80,000	​	April 1, 2029		3.461%	​	€	74,509

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company early settled a euro net investment hedge entered in fiscal 2019, receiving proceeds of $2,711. These proceeds will remain in AOCI until the related subsidiaries are sold or substantially liquidated.

​

(8) BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND RELATED REVENUE INFORMATION

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses operating income as the profit measure to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources across segments. Segment selling, general, and administrative expenses include certain corporate expense allocations, typically based on employee headcounts and sales volumes. For segment reporting purposes, the Company excludes unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, non-operating income and deductions, and income taxes from operating income.

The reportable segments are as follows:

Infrastructure: This segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, lighting, transportation, telecommunications, and solar, along with coatings services to protect metal products.

Agriculture: This segment consists of the manufacture of center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company realigned management’s reporting structure for certain composite structure sales and, accordingly, revised its presentation of sales across product lines to reflect how the product is currently managed. The reporting for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024 was adjusted to conform to the realigned presentation. As a result, Utility product line sales increased and Lighting and Transportation product line sales decreased by $9,308 and $20,195 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024, respectively.

(9) CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. This includes a litigation matter currently on appeal in Brazil related to its operations in the Agriculture market. As of June 28, 2025, the Company has accrued $3,796 related to this matter, which is included in “Other accrued expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accrual reflects management’s estimate of losses based on currently available information. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty and the Company’s accrual may not be adequate to cover the final judgment. At this time, the ultimate resolution of this matter may adversely affect selling, general, and administrative expenses by up to an additional $20,000 in a future fiscal period.

The Company continuously monitors developments in legal proceedings and will adjust its accruals if and when additional information becomes available or circumstances change. No further losses beyond the amounts accrued are deemed probable at this time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Valmont Industries, Inc., along with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “Valmont,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a diversified manufacturer of products and services for infrastructure and agriculture markets. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, our purpose is to conserve resources and improve life.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of experience in the industries in which the Company operates, as well as management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments, and other factors deemed to be relevant. However, these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They are subject to risks, uncertainties (some beyond the Company’s control), and various assumptions.

Management believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. However, many factors could cause the actual financial results to differ materially from expectations. These factors include, among others, risk factors described in the Company’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as future economic and market conditions, industry trends, Company performance and financial results, operational efficiencies, availability and pricing of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competition, and actions or policy changes by domestic and foreign governments.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, and the management’s discussion and analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

Segment net sales in the following table and elsewhere are presented net of intersegment sales. See Note 8 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on segment sales and intersegment sales.

Overview

On a consolidated basis, net sales increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The second quarter growth was primarily driven by higher net sales in the Agriculture segment. For the first half of fiscal 2025, net sales in the Agriculture segment also increased, though these gains were partially offset by lower net sales in the Infrastructure segment.

Consolidated gross profit increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 but declined in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The second quarter improvement was largely due to higher international sales volumes within the Agriculture segment, which more than offset lower volumes in North America in the Agriculture segment and in international markets in the Infrastructure segment. For the first half of fiscal 2025, decreased sales in North America outweighed gains in international markets within the Agriculture segment. Consolidated gross profit margin also declined, primarily due to a shift in geographic sales mix, with an increase in international sales and a reduction in higher-margin North American sales within the Agriculture segment.

Table of Contents

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This increase was driven by higher allowance for credit losses expense, an accrual of approximately $7.0 million for software licenses that are no longer expected to be used, and a $3.2 million write-off related to the Company’s exit from the agriculture solar market in Brazil. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive costs in the first half of fiscal 2025.

Consolidated operating income decreased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets totaling $91.3 million, realignment charges of $8.9 million, and increased SG&A expenses.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

We continue to strategically enhance our portfolio through targeted acquisitions and divestitures, demonstrating our commitment to refining our business focus and driving value within our core segments. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we divested George Industries, a coating and anodizing company in California previously included in the Infrastructure segment, and our extractive business, which included the manufacturing and distribution of screening products for the mining and quarrying sectors in Australia and New Zealand, previously included in the Infrastructure segment.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Impacts on Financial Results and Liquidity

We continue to actively monitor a range of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that have affected, and may continue to affect, our business operations and financial performance. These include volatility in the global economic and trade environment, inflationary cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, foreign currency fluctuations relative to the United States (“U.S.”) dollar, changing interest rates, ongoing international conflicts, and labor shortages. These factors may influence our operational costs, revenue streams, and overall financial stability. As conditions evolve, we are proactively adjusting our business strategies to mitigate potential risks, maintain financial resilience, and ensure sufficient liquidity to support ongoing operations and strategic initiatives.

Net Interest Expense

Consolidated net interest expense decreased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, due to a decrease in average outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit along with lower average interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025 was 117.2% and 38.7%, respectively, as compared to 23.5% and 24.4% in the same periods of fiscal 2024. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of goodwill impairment charges for which no tax benefits were recorded.

Infrastructure segment sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. This growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in the Telecommunications and Utility product lines, which more than offset declines in the Lighting and Transportation (“L&T”) and Solar product lines. Infrastructure segment sales decreased in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024, as lower volumes in the L&T and Solar product lines offset increased volumes in the Utility and Telecommunications product lines.

Regionally, Infrastructure segment sales increased in North America in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, but declined in international markets during the same periods.

Utility product line sales increased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, driven by higher volumes and pricing actions that more than offset the impact of lower steel prices. This performance reflects strong demand in the utility market, supported by ongoing investments in energy transition and grid modernization.

L&T product line sales declined in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower volumes, reflecting softer demand in international markets. A significant contributor was the divestiture of the extractive business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, along with reduced demand in the Australian market for the Access Systems product offering. Additionally, foreign currency translation negatively impacted the first half of fiscal 2025 results by approximately $2.3 million.

Coatings product line sales decreased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, driven by reduced demand in international markets and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of approximately $1.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2025.

Telecommunications product line sales increased significantly in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, supported by our strategic positioning within carrier capital expenditure spending plans.

Solar product line sales declined significantly in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This decline was largely due to lower volumes, partially resulting from the Company’s strategic decision to exit select regional markets, including North America.

Infrastructure segment gross profit decreased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower volumes in the L&T and Solar product lines.

Infrastructure segment SG&A expenses increased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, driven by higher allowance for credit losses expense, mostly in the Solar product line offering, along with an accrual of approximately $7.0 million for software licenses that are no longer expected to be used.

Infrastructure segment operating income decreased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets totaling $89.4 million, realignment charges of $1.4 million, lower volumes in the L&T and Solar product lines, and increased SG&A expenses.

In North America, Agriculture segment sales declined in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. These decreases were due to a significantly lower volume in storm-related replacement sales, as the first half of 2024 benefited from elevated demand following severe weather events in the Midwestern and Southern U.S. The decline was also impacted by lower irrigation equipment sales volumes, reflecting continued softness in the agriculture market. Contributing factors included lower grain prices, uncertainty surrounding trade policy, and the timing of government funding. In addition, average selling prices for irrigation equipment declined, primarily due to a shift in product mix and increased competitive bidding activity in certain regions.

In international markets, Agriculture segment sales increased significantly in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This growth was driven by stronger project volumes in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) region, along with higher volumes in Brazil, where a stabilizing market environment supported improved performance. These gains were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of approximately $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $10.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2025.

Sales of Technology Products and Services decreased in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower hardware sales volumes.

Our Agriculture business remains cyclical and is influenced by a range of factors, including net farm income, commodity prices, weather volatility, geopolitical events, and farmer sentiment regarding future economic conditions. We actively monitor these variables, including U.S. net farm income estimates published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Brazil, we track fluctuations in grain prices and projected farm input costs to assess grower sentiment. Looking ahead, Irrigation Equipment and Parts sales in North America are expected to remain muted for the remainder of fiscal 2025. However, we remain focused on navigating evolving market conditions and positioning the Agriculture business for long-term growth across both domestic and international markets.

Agriculture segment gross profit increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 but declined in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The second quarter increase was primarily attributable to higher volumes in the EMEA region, partially offset by lower volumes and average selling prices in North America. The first half decline was driven by lower average selling prices and volumes in North America, which more than offset international gains.

Agriculture segment SG&A increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The second quarter increase was primarily due to higher allowance for credit losses expense, partially offset by lower compensation costs. The first half decline was driven by lower compensation and incentive costs, partially offset by an increase in allowance for credit losses expense.

Agriculture segment operating income declined in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The declines were primarily due to realignment charges of $2.9 million, one-time charges related to the agriculture solar business totaling $5.9 million, and lower sales volumes in North America.

Table of Contents

In the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, operating income in the Agriculture segment in Brazil was negatively impacted by $1.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in reserves related to an unfavorable court ruling involving a former dealer. The Company has appealed the decision and intends to vigorously contest all allegations. Management cannot reasonably estimate the timing of a potential settlement, the amount of a potential settlement, or litigation costs associated with this matter. While we maintain reserves for liabilities that are reasonably estimable, these reserves may prove insufficient to cover the final judgment. As a result, this uncertainty could adversely affect SG&A expenses by up to an additional $20.0 million within the Agriculture segment.

Corporate

Corporate SG&A expenses increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher incentive costs and the incremental expense associated with changes in the valuation of deferred compensation plan liabilities. Valuation changes in deferred compensation plan liabilities are offset by corresponding changes in deferred compensation plan assets, which are included in “Other income (expenses).”

Corporate SG&A expenses decreased slightly in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. This decline was primarily driven by lower professional fees, partially offset by higher compensation, insurance, and technology-related costs.

In addition, both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025 included realignment charges totaling $4.6 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Allocation Philosophy

Our capital allocation priorities are intended to present a balanced approach to maintaining disciplined investments in organic and inorganic growth opportunities while delivering meaningful capital returns to shareholders over the next three to five years. These priorities are expected to be supported by our projected cash flow generation. We plan to allocate approximately 50% of operating cash flow to high-return growth opportunities, focused on:

● capital expenditures for strategic capacity expansion, primarily in the Infrastructure segment, to maintain and increase manufacturing output and efficiency while driving innovation to better serve customers, and

● acquisitions that strategically augment our competitive position, with a focus on sustainable growth and premium returns on invested capital.

We plan to allocate the remaining approximately 50% of operating cash flow to shareholder returns through the form of share repurchases and dividends.

In February 2025, the Board of Directors increased the authorized capacity under our share repurchase program by $700.0 million, bringing the total authorization to $2.1 billion, with no stated expiration date. We are not obligated to make repurchases and may discontinue the program at any time. Any purchases will be funded through available liquidity and ongoing cash flows, and will be made subject to prevailing market and economic conditions. As of June 28, 2025, we had approximately $666.0 million of remaining capacity under the share repurchase program. Since the program’s inception in May 2014, we have repurchased approximately 8.6 million shares for a total of $1.4 billion.

We remain committed to maintaining a capital structure that supports our investment-grade credit rating. As of the latest assessments, our credit ratings were Baa2 (stable outlook) by Moody’s Ratings and BBB+ (stable outlook) by S&P Global Ratings. To support these ratings, we aim to manage our debt-to-invested capital ratio within levels that reinforce our investment-grade status.

Supplier Finance Program

We have established a supplier finance program with a financial institution, allowing qualifying suppliers the option to sell their receivables from us to the financial institution under independently negotiated terms. Participation in the program is entirely voluntary for suppliers and does not affect our payment terms, amounts, timing, or liquidity. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included $55.1 million and $45.6 million, respectively, related to the obligations under this program.

Table of Contents

Sources of Financing

As of June 28, 2025, our available debt financing primarily included senior unsecured notes and a revolving credit facility.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of June 28, 2025, our senior unsecured notes consisted of:

● $450.0 million face value ($434.3 million carrying value) notes at an interest rate of 5.00% per annum, maturing in October 2044.

● $305.0 million face value ($295.5 million carrying value) notes at an interest rate of 5.25% per annum, maturing in October 2054.

We retain the option to repurchase these notes by paying a make-whole premium. Both tranches are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries.

Revolving Credit Facility

Subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company renewed the revolving credit facility, extending the maturity date to July 2030. As a part of the renewal, the facility maintained $800.0 million of committed capacity and the same pricing, but the uncommitted accordion feature available under the facility increased from $300.0 million to $400.0 million; the 10-basis-point SOFR adjustment was eliminated from the interest rate calculation; and the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion was reduced and now ranges from 9 to 20 basis points, based on our credit rating.

Prior to the renewal, as of June 28, 2025, our revolving credit facility, managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, had a maturity date of October 18, 2026. The facility provided up to $800.0 million in unsecured revolving credit, with $400.0 million available for borrowings in foreign currencies. An additional $300.0 million may have been added to the facility, subject to lender commitments.

Authorized borrowers included the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Valmont Industries Holland B.V. and Valmont Group Pty. Ltd. Obligations under this facility were guaranteed by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Valmont Telecommunications, Inc., Valmont Coatings, Inc., Valmont Newmark, Inc., and Valmont Queensland Pty. Ltd.

The interest rate on our borrowings was, at our option, either:

(a) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), based on a one-, three-, or six-month period, plus a 10-basis-point adjustment and a spread of 100 to 162.5 basis points, depending on our senior unsecured long-term debt credit rating by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Ratings;

(b) the higher of

● the prime lending rate,

● the overnight bank rate plus 50 basis points, or

● term SOFR (based on a one-month period) plus 100 basis points,

plus, in each case, 0 to 62.5 basis points, depending on our credit rating; or

(c) daily simple SOFR plus a 10-basis-point adjustment and a spread of 100 to 162.5 basis points, depending on our credit rating.

Additionally, a commitment fee was applied to the average daily unused portion of the facility, ranging from 10 to 25 basis points, based on our credit rating.

As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. The facility included a financial covenant that may limit additional borrowing. As of June 28, 2025, we could borrow $799.8 million under the facility, after accounting for $0.2 million in standby letters of credit related to certain insurance obligations.

30

Table of Contents

Additionally, we maintain short‑term bank lines of credit totaling $30.8 million, all of which were unused as of June 28, 2025.

Covenants and Compliance

Both our senior unsecured notes and revolving credit facility contain cross-default provisions, which allow for the acceleration of debt if we default on other indebtedness that also permits acceleration.

The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a financial leverage ratio of 3.50 or lower, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. A temporary increase to 3.75 is permitted for the four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition. The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of: (a) interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), to (b) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and non-recurring non-cash charges or gains, subject to certain limitations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Additionally, in the event of an acquisition or divestiture, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, reflecting the transaction as if it had occurred on the first day of the period.

Additional covenants restrict activities such as incurring indebtedness, placing liens, engaging in mergers, making investments, selling assets, paying dividends, conducting affiliate transactions, and making debt prepayments. Customary events of default may trigger the acceleration of obligations, subject to grace periods where applicable.

As of June 28, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants related to these debt agreements. For detailed calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and the leverage ratio, please refer to the “Selected Financial Measures” section.

Cash Uses

Our primary cash needs include working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, taxes, and pension contributions. We may also pursue strategic investments, acquisitions, stock repurchases, or dividends, subject to market conditions and debt agreement restrictions.

Our business operates in cyclical markets, but our diverse portfolio—spanning various products, customers, and regions—has enabled us to navigate these cycles effectively while maintaining liquidity. Historically, we have consistently generated operating cash flows that exceed our capital expenditures, demonstrating our ability to manage cash effectively through economic cycles. For fiscal 2025 and beyond, we are confident in our liquidity position, supported by accessible credit facilities, capital markets, and a solid track record of positive operating cash flows.

As of June 28, 2025, we held $208.5 million in cash, including $146.9 million in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions of this foreign cash would incur tax liabilities. As of June 28, 2025, we had liabilities of $1.1 million for foreign withholding taxes and $0.5 million for U.S. state income taxes.

Cash Flows

The table below summarizes our cash flow information for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	Twenty-six weeks ended
​	​	June 28,		​	June 29,
Dollars in thousands		2025			2024
Net cash flows from operating activities	​	$	232,739	​	$	154,143
Net cash flows from investing activities	​		(64,319)	​		(36,504)
Net cash flows from financing activities	​		(131,223)	​		(150,875)

Operating Cash Flows and Working Capital – Cash provided by operating activities totaled $232.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to $154.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily the result of favorable changes in the timing of customer receipts, a reduction in required pension contributions, and a decrease in interest payments. This was partially offset by a $14.4 million increase in tax payments for the first half of fiscal 2025 compared to the first half of fiscal 2024. Cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2025 and the first half of fiscal 2024 were also impacted by severance payments totaling $1.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively, related to organizational realignment programs.

Investing Cash Flows – Cash used in investing activities totaled $64.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to $36.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. Investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2025 primarily included capital spending of $62.3 million. Investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2024 primarily included capital spending of $33.3 million. We expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $140.0 million to $160.0 million for fiscal 2025.

Financing Cash Flows – Cash used in financing activities totaled $131.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2025, as compared to $150.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. Our total interest-bearing debt was $755.9 million as of June 28, 2025 and $757.9 million as of December 28, 2024. Financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2025 primarily consisted of borrowings on the revolving credit facility and short-term notes of $132.8 million offset by principal payments on our long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $134.9 million, dividends paid of $25.7 million, the purchase of treasury shares of $100.0 million, and the net activity from stock option and incentive plans, including the associated withholding payments, of $3.8 million. Financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2024 primarily consisted of borrowings on the revolving credit facility and short-term notes of $21.1 million, offset by principal repayments on our long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $112.7 million, dividends paid of $24.2 million, the purchase of treasury shares of $14.9 million, the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $17.7 million, and the net activity from stock option and incentive plans, including the associated withholding payments, of $4.4 million.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

This information is provided in compliance with Rule 3-10 and Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, relating to our two tranches of senior unsecured notes. These senior notes are jointly, severally, fully, and unconditionally guaranteed—subject to certain customary release provisions, including the sale of the subsidiary guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets—by certain of our current and future direct and indirect domestic and foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Parent serves as the Issuer of the notes and consolidates all Guarantors.

The financial information for the Issuer and Guarantors is presented on a combined basis, with intercompany balances and transactions between the Issuer and the Guarantors eliminated. Any amounts due to or from the Issuer or Guarantors, as well as transactions with non-guarantor subsidiaries, are disclosed separately.

The combined financial information for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 was as follows:

Selected Financial Measures

The leverage ratio is a key financial metric we use to assess our maximum borrowing capacity. It is defined as the ratio of (a) interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), to (b)

32

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA. In the event of an acquisition or divestiture, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis, reflecting the transaction as if it had occurred on the first day of the period.

Our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a leverage ratio of 3.50 or lower (or 3.75 or lower following certain material acquisitions) on a rolling four-fiscal-quarter basis, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. Failure to comply with this financial covenant may result in higher financing costs or early debt repayment obligations.

The leverage ratio and Adjusted EBITDA are non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures. As presented, these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operations, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, they should not be interpreted as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025 was as follows:

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For additional information on the Company’s legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, and Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

General Risks

If our internal control over financial reporting is found to be ineffective, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Our internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including human error, the circumvention or override of controls, and fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The complexity of our business, including diversified product lines across multiple jurisdictions, the use of multiple enterprise resource planning systems, and complex revenue recognition requirements, further increases the challenge of maintaining effective internal controls. If we fail to maintain our internal control over financial reporting, or if we experience deficiencies or delays in implementing necessary improvements, it could have a negative impact on our operating results.

For additional information on the Company’s risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

(1) In May 2014, we announced a capital allocation philosophy that included a share repurchase program. The Board of Directors initially authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock over twelve-month period, at prevailing market prices, through either open market or privately negotiated transactions. The Board expanded this authorization in February 2015 and again in October 2018, each time adding $250.0 million with no expiration date. In February 2023, the Board of Directors increased the program by an additional $400.0 million, also with no stated expiration date. In February 2025, the Board authorized a further $700.0 million increase, again with no expiration date.
