Slide 5

Current Market Factors As of February 2023, U.S. corn prices have increased 35 percent and soybean prices have increased 8 percent from a year ago. Drought conditions in various regions of the world and the continued conflict between Ukraine and Russia have lowered the supply of commodities and are supporting prices. The USDA current estimate of 2023 net farm income is $136.9 billion, a decrease of 16 percent from 2022. Most of the projected decrease is due to a reduction in government support payments while cash receipts for crops are projected to decrease by 3 percent. Projected net farm income for 2023 remains at a relatively high level historically. Government transition in Brazil resulting in temporary market delays. Inflationary pressure on input costs has moderated, although certain supply chain constraints persist. High farm input costs and increasing interest rates weigh on farmer sentiment. Irrigation Infrastructure The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that was enacted in November 2021 marked the largest infusion of federal investment into infrastructure projects in more than a decade. It included a five-year reauthorization of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The IIJA introduced $110 billion in incremental federal funding for roads, bridges, and other transportation projects, which the Company anticipates will translate into higher demand for its transportation safety products. Federal investment accounts for approximately 35% of the total transportation spend at the state and local level. State-level budgets for transportation projects are anticipated to increase 13% in 2023. The timing and scope of certain construction projects could be impacted by cost inflation, labor constraints, weather and other factors.
