LINDSAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) as contained in Lindsay Corporation’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected by the Company for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using U.S. GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs, which requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that finance its purchases with supplier finance programs. The Company adopted these amendments in its fiscal 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal 2025. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2026.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2025.

Further disaggregation of revenue is disclosed in the Note 14 – Industry Segment Information.

For contracts with an initial length longer than twelve months, the unsatisfied performance obligations were $1.0 million at February 29, 2024.

Contract Balances

Contract assets arise when recorded revenue for a contract exceeds the amounts billed under the terms of such contract. Contract liabilities arise when billed amounts exceed revenue recorded. Amounts are billable to customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones and completion of specified units of completion of the contract. At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023, contract assets amounted to $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities include advance payments from customers and billings in excess of delivery of performance obligations. At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023, contract liabilities amounted to $18.3 million, $17.9 million, and $20.5 million, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the Company’s six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, the Company recognized $12.1 million and $25.0 million of revenue that were included in the liabilities as of August 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. The revenue recognized was due to applying advance payments received for the performance obligations completed during the quarter.

Note 3 – Net Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other dilutive securities.

Note 4 – Acquisitions

FieldWise, LLC

On July 28, 2023 ("the acquisition date"), the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interests of FieldWise, LLC ("FieldWise"). FieldWise is a market leader in agricultural technology products with a focus on subscription-based, precision irrigation solutions. The purchase price of $32.7 million was financed through an all-cash transaction from the Company's cash on hand.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation for the acquisition of FieldWise.

($ in thousands)	Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,779
Accounts receivable		376
Inventories		2,651
Property and equipment		2,443
Deferred tax asset		94
Intangible assets		11,400
Goodwill		16,593
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(228	)
Deferred revenues		(2,132	)
Non-current deferred revenues		(235	)
Total purchase price	$	32,741

During the post-acquisition period, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary recorded values assigned to certain Company assets acquired as of the acquisition date. These adjustments were the product of final working capital adjustments with the seller and are incorporated within the values noted in the table above. These adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The acquired intangible assets include amortizable intangible assets of $10.7 million and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.7 million related to tradenames. The amortizable intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 13.1 years. The following table summarizes the identifiable intangible assets at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Developed technology		5.0		2,000
Tradenames	N/A			700
Total intangible assets		13.1	$	11,400

Goodwill related to the acquisition of FieldWise primarily relates to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the experience and knowledge of FieldWise management, its assembled workforce, and its intellectual capital and specialization with monitoring technology solutions, data acquisition and management systems. This goodwill is included in the irrigation reporting segment and is deductible for income tax purposes. Pro forma information related to this acquisition was not included because the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was not considered to be material.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively, and recorded income tax expense of $10.6 million and $13.5 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

It is the Company’s policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective income tax rate was 26.4 percent and 28.2 percent for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The decrease in the estimated annual effective income tax rate relates primarily to the change in earnings mix among domestic and foreign operations.

The tax effects of significant or unusual items are not considered in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. The tax effects of such discrete events are recognized in the interim period in which the events occur. The Company recorded discrete items resulting in an income tax benefit of $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

Note 6 – Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following as of February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023:

- 13 -

The Company’s investment in marketable securities consists of United States treasury bonds. The marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income until realized. The Company determines fair value using data points that are observable, such as quoted prices and interest rates. The amortized cost of the investments approximates fair value. Investment income is recorded within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of February 29, 2024, all of the Company’s marketable securities investments mature within one year.

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit and does not enter into derivative instrument agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and are determined by standard calculations and models that use readily observable market parameters. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company has entered into various cross currency swaps that mature between the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and the third quarter of fiscal 2027 with a total notional amount of $100.0 million, or €91.7 million. The Company elected the spot method for designating these swaps as net investment hedges. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the fair value of these contracts are recorded within other noncurrent assets and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these contracts as of February 29, 2024 are included in the table above as either a derivative asset or liability.

At February 29, 2024 the Company had an outstanding foreign currency forward contract to sell a notional amount of 189.6 million South African rand at fixed prices to settle during the Company's next fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2024. The Company’s foreign currency forward contract does not qualify as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. The fair value of this contract as of February 29, 2024 is recorded within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

There were no required fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the six months ended February 29, 2024 or 2023.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company enters into arrangements that obligate it to make future payments under contracts such as lease agreements. Additionally, the Company is involved, from time to time, in commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, business disputes and other legal proceedings. The Company has established accruals for certain proceedings based on an assessment of probability of loss. The Company believes that any such currently-pending proceedings are either covered by insurance or would not have a material effect on the business or its consolidated financial statements if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company. Such proceedings are exclusive of environmental remediation matters which are discussed separately below.

Infrastructure Products

The Company is currently defending a number of product liability lawsuits arising out of vehicle collisions with highway barriers incorporating the Company’s X-Lite® end terminal. Despite the September 2018 reversal of a sizable judgment against a competitor, the Company expects that the significant attention brought to the infrastructure products industry by the original judgment may lead to additional lawsuits being filed against the Company and others in the industry.

The Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and certain third parties which originally designed the X-Lite end terminal have also been named in a lawsuit filed on June 9, 2020 in the Circuit Court of Cole County, Missouri by Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (“MHTC”). MHTC alleges, among other things, that the X-Lite end terminal was defectively designed and failed to perform as designed, intended, and advertised, leading to MHTC’s removal and replacement of X-Lite end terminals from Missouri’s roadways. MHTC alleges strict liability (defective design and failure to warn), negligence, breach of express warranties, breach of implied warranties (merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose), fraud, and public nuisance. MHTC seeks compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages.

The Company believes it has meritorious factual and legal defenses to each of the lawsuits discussed above and is prepared to vigorously defend its interests. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not

- 14 -

believe that a loss is probable in any of these lawsuits; therefore, no accrual has been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, the Company is unable to estimate a range of potential loss due to the complexity and current status of these lawsuits. However, the Company maintains insurance coverage to mitigate the impact of adverse exposures in these lawsuits and does not expect that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial statements.

Following the March 2019 filing of a qui tam lawsuit (as amended, the “Lawsuit”) by an individual relator, on behalf of the United States and twelve individual states, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the “Court”), the Department of Justice, Civil Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York (the “U.S. Attorney’s Office”) proceeded to initiate an investigation into the relator’s allegations relating to the Company's X-Lite end terminal and potential violations of the False Claims Act. On September 28, 2023, the U.S. Attorney’s Office submitted a letter motion (the “Letter Motion”) informing the Court that the United States had investigated the relator’s allegations and now sought to move to dismiss the Lawsuit as it had “determined that dismissal is commensurate with the public interest because the claims lack merit and the matter does not warrant the continued expenditure of resources to pursue or monitor the action.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office also noted that it had “been advised by counsel for the twelve states that the states [had] no objection to the Court declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state claims and to dismissing those claims without prejudice to the states.” On October 2, 2023, the Court granted the Letter Motion and indicated that a motion to dismiss could be filed without further order or pre-motion conference. On October 12, 2023, after the relator proceeded to file his own notice of voluntary dismissal, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed its notice of consent to the relator’s voluntary dismissal. On October 26, 2023, the Court ordered the dismissal of the Lawsuit without prejudice as to the relator, the United States, and each of the twelve state plaintiffs.

Environmental Remediation

In previous years, the Company committed to a plan to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (the “site”). The current estimated aggregate accrued cost of $10.7 million is based on consideration of remediation options which the Company believes could be successful in meeting the long-term regulatory requirements of the site. The Company submitted a revised remedial alternatives evaluation report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (the “NDEE”) in August 2020 to review remediation alternatives and proposed plans for the site. While the proposed remediation plan is preliminary and has not been approved by the EPA or the NDEE, they approved an in situ thermal remediation pilot study that was conducted by the Company at a specific location on the site. The Company completed the pilot program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. A final report was submitted to the EPA and NDEE for review in November 2023. The Company continues to work with the EPA and the NDEE on finalizing the proposed remediation plans for the site. Of the total liability as of February 29, 2024, $8.0 million was calculated on a discounted basis using a discount rate of 1.2 percent, which represents a risk-free rate. This discounted portion of the liability amounts to $9.0 million at February 29, 2024.

The Company accrues the anticipated cost of investigation and remediation when the obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the plan has not been formally approved by the EPA, the Company believes the current accrual is a good faith estimate of the long-term cost of remediation at this site; however, the estimate of costs and their timing could change as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to (1) EPA input on the proposed remediation plan and any changes which the EPA may subsequently require, (2) refinement of cost estimates and length of time required to complete remediation and post-remediation operations and maintenance, (3) effectiveness of the technology chosen in remediation of the site as well as changes in technology that may be available in the future, and (4) unforeseen circumstances existing at the site. As a result of these factors, the actual amount of costs incurred by the Company in connection with the remediation of contamination of its Lindsay, Nebraska site could exceed the amounts accrued for this expense at this time. While any revisions could be material to the operating results of any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the Company does not expect such additional expenses would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or financial condition.

Concerning Forward‑Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and reflect information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations and planned financing of the Company. In addition, forward-looking statements may be made orally or in press releases, conferences, reports, on the Company's web site, or otherwise, in the future by or on behalf of the Company. When used by or on behalf of the Company, the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “outlook,” “could,” “may,” “should” or similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. The entire section entitled “Executive Overview and Outlook” should be considered forward-looking statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future results or conditions, which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results or conditions could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein and in the Company’s other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, as well as other risks and uncertainties not now anticipated. The risks and uncertainties described herein and in the Company’s other public filings are not exclusive and further information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that potentially could materially affect the Company's financial results, may emerge from time to time. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.

Accounting Policies

In preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management must make a variety of decisions which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In making these decisions, management applies its judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and the Company’s historical experience.

The Company’s accounting policies that are most important to the presentation of its results of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and estimates by management, are designated as its critical accounting policies. See discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies under Item 7 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. Management periodically re-evaluates and adjusts its critical accounting policies as circumstances change. There were no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended February 29, 2024.

Recent Accounting Guidance

See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and the disclosure therein of recently adopted accounting guidance to the condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview and Outlook

Operating revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2024 were $151.5 million, a decrease of 9 percent compared to $166.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. Irrigation segment revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2024 decreased 10 percent to $133.0 million from the same prior year period, while infrastructure segment revenues of $18.5 million were equivalent during both periods. Net earnings for the three months ended February 29, 2024 were $18.1 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $18.1 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2023.

The primary drivers for the Company’s irrigation segment are the need for irrigated agricultural crop production, which is tied to population growth and the attendant need for expanded food production, and the need to use water resources efficiently. These drivers are affected by a number of factors, including the following:

- 18 -

•Agricultural commodity prices – As of February 2024, U.S. corn prices have decreased approximately 35 percent and U.S. soybean prices have decreased approximately 25 percent from price levels prevailing in February 2023. The reduction in commodity prices is due primarily to higher production levels in calendar 2023 that resulted in increased supply and higher inventory levels at the end of the year. Agriculture commodity prices fluctuate based on supply factors, such as global production and inventory levels and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and demand factors such as food and feed consumption, biofuel production and the level of China's demand for agricultural imports.

•Net farm income – As of February 2024, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) estimated 2024 U.S. net farm income to be $116.1 billion, a decrease of 26 percent from forecasted 2023 U.S. net farm income of $155.9 billion. The majority of this projected decrease is expected to come from a reduction in government support payments while cash receipts for crops is projected to decrease by 6 percent and cash expenses are projected to increase by 4 percent.

•Weather conditions – Demand for irrigation equipment is often positively affected by storm damage and prolonged periods of drought conditions as producers look for ways to reduce the risk of low crop production and crop failures. Conversely, demand for irrigation equipment can be negatively affected during periods of more predictable or abundant natural precipitation.

•Governmental policies – A number of governmental laws and regulations can affect the Company’s business, including:

•The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “Farm Bill”) was signed into law in December 2018 and provides a degree of certainty to growers, including funding for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, which provides financial assistance to farmers to implement conservation practices, and is frequently used to assist in the purchase of center pivot irrigation systems. In November 2023, Congress voted to extend the Farm Bill, which is now set to expire at the end of September 2024.

•Changes to U.S. income tax laws enacted in December 2017 increased the benefit of certain tax incentives, such as the Section 179 income tax deduction and Section 168 bonus depreciation, which are intended to encourage equipment purchases by allowing 100 percent of the cost of equipment to be treated as an expense in the year of purchase rather than amortized over its useful life. This benefit is being phased out by 20 percent per year over a five-year period, beginning in 2023. For calendar 2023, the allowable deduction is 80 percent of the cost of equipment and in calendar 2024 the allowable deduction drops to 60 percent.

•Biofuel production continues to be a major demand driver for irrigated corn, sugar cane and soybeans as these crops are used in high volumes to produce ethanol and biodiesel. On June 21, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced a final rule setting biofuel volume requirements for the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) program for 2023, 2024, and 2025. The final volume requirements reflect an increase in total gallons of renewable fuel of approximately 3 to 4 percent in each successive year.

•Many international markets are affected by government policies such as subsidies and other agriculturally related incentives. While these policies can have a significant effect on individual markets, they typically do not have a material effect on the consolidated results of the Company.

•Currency – The value of the U.S. dollar fluctuates in relation to the value of currencies in a number of countries to which the Company exports products and in which the Company maintains local operations. The strengthening of the dollar increases the cost in the local currency of the products exported from the U.S. into these countries and, therefore, could negatively affect the Company’s international sales and margins. In addition, the U.S. dollar value of sales made in any affected foreign currencies will decline as the value of the dollar rises in relation to these other currencies.

Demand for irrigation equipment in the U.S. has remained stable during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared to the same prior year period. Net farm income levels in calendar 2023, although lower than historically high 2022 levels, supported farmer profitability and demand for investment so far in our fiscal 2024. However, the forecasted decline in estimated 2024 net farm income, if realized, could negatively affect demand for irrigation equipment during the remainder of our fiscal 2024. The Company has been able to maintain its pricing for irrigation equipment while inflationary pressure on steel and other raw material costs as well as freight and logistics costs, have moderated compared to the same prior year period.

The most significant opportunities for growth in irrigation sales over the next several years continue to be in international markets where irrigation use is less developed and demand is driven not only by commodity prices and net farm income, but also by food security, water scarcity and population growth. While international irrigation markets remain active with opportunities for further development and expansion, regional political and economic factors, including armed conflict, currency conditions and other factors can create a challenging environment. The Company continues to monitor Ukraine and Russia conflict for both short and long-term implications and has suspended new business activity in Russia and Belarus since February 2022. Sales with Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian customers historically have represented less than 5 percent of consolidated revenues. Additionally, international results are heavily dependent upon project sales which tend to fluctuate and can be difficult to forecast accurately.

The infrastructure business continues to be driven by the Company's transportation safety products, the demand for which largely depends on government spending for road construction and improvements. The enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021 marked the largest infusion of federal investment into infrastructure projects in more than a decade. This legislation introduced $110 billion in incremental federal funding, planned for roads, bridges, and other transportation projects. The Company expects this additional funding to support higher demand in the U.S. for its transportation safety products.

The backlog of unshipped orders at February 29, 2024 was $94.2 million compared with $95.2 million at February 28, 2023. Included in these backlogs are amounts of $20.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for orders that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent twelve months. The irrigation backlog was lower and the infrastructure backlog was higher compared to the prior year. The Company’s backlog can fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality, cyclicality, timing and execution of contracts. Backlog typically represents long-term projects as well as short lead-time orders, and therefore is generally not a good indication of the next fiscal quarter’s revenues.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the Three Months ended February 28, 2023

The following section presents an analysis of the Company’s operating results displayed in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023. It should be read together with the industry segment information in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

(1)Includes $7.1 million and $7.6 million of corporate operating expenses for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

Revenues

Operating revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2024 decreased 9 percent to $151.5 million from $166.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023, as irrigation revenues decreased $14.8 million while infrastructure revenues were equivalent to revenues during the prior year period. The irrigation segment provided 88 percent of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended February 29, 2024 as compared to 89 percent for the three months ended February 28, 2023.

North America irrigation revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2024 of $82.8 million decreased $7.6 million, or 8 percent, from $90.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease resulted from lower sales of replacement parts, the impact of a less favorable mix of shorter machines, and slightly lower average selling prices compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of slightly higher unit sales volume compared to the same prior year period.

International irrigation revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2024 of $50.2 million decreased $7.2 million, or 13 percent, from $57.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volumes in Brazil and other Latin America markets compared to the same prior year period. In Brazil, order activity declined due to a significant drop in local commodity prices during the quarter which has negatively impacted the outlook for grower profitability and available liquidity. This dynamic has also resulted in a more constrained credit environment which is limiting growers' ability to invest in irrigation equipment. This decrease was partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $0.9 million compared to the same prior year period.

- 21 -

Infrastructure segment revenues were $18.5 million for both of the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023. An increase in Road Zipper System lease revenue in the three months ended February 29, 2024 was offset by lower Road Zipper System sales and lower sales of road safety products compared to the same prior year period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended February 29, 2024 of $49.0 million decreased 10 percent from $54.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from lower irrigation revenues. Gross margin was 32.3 percent of sales for the three months ended February 29, 2024 compared with 32.6 percent of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2023. Increased gross margin in infrastructure resulted primarily from a more favorable margin mix of revenues with higher Road Zipper System lease revenues. This favorable impact was offset by lower irrigation gross margin resulting from a decrease in revenues without a corresponding reduction in fixed costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses of $26.9 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024 decreased $0.1 million, or 1 percent, compared with $27.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. Increased selling expense was offset by lower engineering and research expense and cost reductions in other areas.

Other Income (Expense), net

The Company recorded other income of $0.6 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024 compared to other expense of $1.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The change resulted primarily from foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1 million in the current year compared to foreign currency transaction losses of $1.1 million in the same prior year period and a $0.8 million increase in interest income.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 20.2 percent and 29.8 percent for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the current year period reflects a decreased proportion of earnings in higher rate foreign jurisdictions as well as a discrete income tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million realized in Brazil.

For the Six Months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the Six Months ended February 28, 2023

The following section presents an analysis of the Company’s operating results displayed in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023. It should be read together with the industry segment information in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Six months ended

(1)Includes $14.9 million and $15.0 million of corporate operating expenses for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

Revenues

Operating revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2024 decreased 9 percent to $312.9 million from $342.4 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023, as irrigation revenues decreased $26.7 million and infrastructure revenues decreased $2.8 million. The irrigation segment provided 87 percent of the Company’s revenue during the six months ended February 29, 2024 as compared to 88 percent for the six months ended February 28, 2023.

North America irrigation revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2024 of $172.2 million decreased $2.1 million, or 1 percent, from $174.3 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023. Higher unit sales volume in the current year period was more than offset by lower sales of replacement parts, the impact of a less favorable mix of shorter machines, and slightly lower average selling prices compared to the same prior year period.

International irrigation revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2024 of $101.0 million decreased $24.6 million, or 20 percent, from $125.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volumes in Brazil and other Latin America markets compared to the same prior year period. In Brazil, market demand has declined due to a significant drop in local commodity prices that has had a negative impact on farmer profitability and liquidity. This decrease was partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.7 million compared to the same prior year period.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2024 of $39.7 million decreased $2.8 million, or 7 percent, from $42.5 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease resulted from lower Road Zipper System sales compared to the same prior year period due to a project in the same prior year period that did not repeat. This decrease was largely offset by higher Road Zipper System lease revenue during the six months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the prior year period.

- 23 -

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended February 29, 2024 of $98.9 million decreased 8 percent from $107.3 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from lower revenues in both segments. Gross margin was 31.6 percent of sales for the six months ended February 29, 2024 compared with 31.3 percent of sales for the six months ended February 28, 2023. Increased gross margin in infrastructure resulted primarily from a more favorable margin mix of revenues with higher Road Zipper System lease revenues. This favorable impact was offset by lower irrigation gross margin resulting from a decrease in revenues without a corresponding reduction in fixed costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses of $55.7 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 increased $0.3 million compared with $55.4 million for the six months ended February 28, 2023.

Other Income (Expense), net

The Company recorded other income for the six months ended February 29, 2024 of $0.5 million compared to other expense of 2.1 million the six months ended February 28, 2023. The current year period includes $0.2 million of foreign currency transaction losses compared to losses of $1.1 million in the same prior year period and $2.3 million of interest income compared to $0.9 million in the same prior year period.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $10.6 million and $13.5 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 24.1 percent and 27.1 percent for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the current year period reflects a decreased proportion of earnings in higher rate foreign jurisdictions as well as a discrete income tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million realized in Brazil.

- 24 -

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $150.6 million at February 29, 2024 compared with $106.4 million at February 28, 2023 and $166.3 million at August 31, 2023. The Company requires cash for financing its receivables and inventories, paying operating expenses and capital expenditures, and for dividends and share repurchases. The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its capital expenditures from its available cash and funds provided by operations along with borrowings under its credit arrangements described below. The Company’s investments in marketable securities are primarily comprised of United States government securities and investment grade corporate securities. The Company believes its current cash resources, investments in marketable securities, projected operating cash flow, and remaining capacity under its continuing bank lines of credit are sufficient to cover all its expected working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and dividends. The Company may require additional borrowings to fund potential acquisitions in the future.

The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were approximately $57.3 million, $51.2 million, and $64.6 million as of February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023, respectively. The Company considers earnings in foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and would need to accrue and pay incremental state, local, and foreign taxes if such earnings were repatriated to the United States. The Company does not intend to repatriate the funds and does not expect these funds to have a significant impact on the Company’s overall liquidity.

Net working capital was $371.4 million at February 29, 2024, as compared with $347.3 million at February 28, 2023 and $351.4 million at August 31, 2023. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.1 million during the six months ended February 29, 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.9 million during the six months ended February 28, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by favorable improvements in working capital, mainly receivables and other current liabilities, partially offset by an increase in inventory during the current year period.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $30.8 million during the six months ended February 29, 2024 compared to $5.7 million during the six months ended February 28, 2023. Cash proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities amounted to $15.0 million in the current year compared to zero in the same prior year period. Purchases of property, plant, and equipment were $18.8 million, compared to $7.2 million in the same prior year period.

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $8.6 million during the six months ended February 29, 2024 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $9.8 million during the six months ended February 28, 2023. The change was primarily the result of lower common stock withheld for payroll tax obligations compared to the same prior year period.

Capital Allocation Plan

The Company’s capital allocation plan is to continue investing in revenue and earnings growth, combined with a defined process for enhancing returns to stockholders. Under the Company’s capital allocation plan, the priorities for uses of cash include:

•Investment in organic growth including capital expenditures and expansion of international markets,

•Dividends to stockholders, along with expectations to increase dividends over time,

•Synergistic acquisitions that provide attractive returns to stockholders, and

•Opportunistic share repurchases taking into account cyclical and seasonal fluctuations.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 are expected to be between $35.0 million and $40.0 million, including equipment replacement, productivity improvements, new product development and commercial growth investments. The increase over recent levels of capital expenditures is primarily related to modernization and productivity improvements planned at certain manufacturing facilities. The Company’s management does maintain flexibility to modify the amount and timing of some of the planned expenditures in response to economic conditions.

Dividends

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of $0.35 per common share, or $3.9 million, compared to a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per common share, or $3.7 million, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

- 25 -

Share Repurchases

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $250.0 million of common stock with no expiration date. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions as well as under formalized trading plans in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There were no shares repurchased during the six months ended February 29, 2024 or 2023. The remaining amount available under the repurchase program was $63.7 million as of February 29, 2024.

Long-Term Borrowing Facilities

Senior Notes. The Company has outstanding $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, Series A (the “Senior Notes”). The entire principal of the Senior Notes is due and payable on February 19, 2030. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a fixed annual rate of 3.82 percent. Borrowings under the Senior Notes are unsecured. The Company used the proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and dividends.

Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has outstanding a $50.0 million unsecured Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) expiring August 26, 2026. The Company intends to use borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility for working capital purposes and to fund acquisitions. At February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount of borrowings available at any time under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit issued by Wells Fargo then outstanding. At February 29, 2024, the Company had the ability to borrow up to $50.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $50.0 million at any time, subject to additional commitment approval. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of between 100 and 210 basis points depending on the Company’s leverage ratio then in effect (which resulted in a variable rate of 6.67 percent at February 29, 2024), subject to adjustment as set forth in the loan documents for the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest is paid on a monthly to quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company currently pays an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The fee is between 0.125 percent and 0.2 percent on the unused balance depending on the Company’s leverage ratio then in effect (which resulted in a fee of 0.125 percent at February 29, 2024).

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility have equal priority with borrowings under the Company’s Senior Notes. Each of the credit arrangements described above include certain covenants relating primarily to the Company’s financial condition. These financial covenants include a funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. In the event that the loan documents for the Revolving Credit Facility were to require the Company to comply with any financial covenant that is not already included or is more restrictive than what is already included in the arrangement governing the Senior Notes, then such covenant shall be deemed incorporated by reference for the benefit of holders of the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of any event of default of these covenants, including a change in control of the Company, all amounts outstanding thereunder may be declared to be immediately due and payable. At February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial loan covenants contained in its credit arrangements in place as of each of those dates.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) as contained in Lindsay Corporation’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected by the Company for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using U.S. GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs, which requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that finance its purchases with supplier finance programs. The Company adopted these amendments in its fiscal 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal 2025. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2026.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2025.

For contracts with an initial length longer than twelve months, the unsatisfied performance obligations were $1.0 million at February 29, 2024.

Contract Balances

Contract assets arise when recorded revenue for a contract exceeds the amounts billed under the terms of such contract. Contract liabilities arise when billed amounts exceed revenue recorded. Amounts are billable to customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones and completion of specified units of completion of the contract. At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023, contract assets amounted to $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities include advance payments from customers and billings in excess of delivery of performance obligations. At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2023, and August 31, 2023, contract liabilities amounted to $18.3 million, $17.9 million, and $20.5 million, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the Company’s six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, the Company recognized $12.1 million and $25.0 million of revenue that were included in the liabilities as of August 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. The revenue recognized was due to applying advance payments received for the performance obligations completed during the quarter.

Net Earnings Per Share

Note 3 – Net Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other dilutive securities.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and 2023:

	Three months ended				Six months ended

Diluted net earnings per share	$	1.64	$	1.63	$	2.99	$	3.28

Certain stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the threshold performance conditions have been satisfied. The number of securities excluded from the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive was not significant for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023.

During the post-acquisition period, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary recorded values assigned to certain Company assets acquired as of the acquisition date. These adjustments were the product of final working capital adjustments with the seller and are incorporated within the values noted in the table above. These adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The acquired intangible assets include amortizable intangible assets of $10.7 million and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.7 million related to tradenames. The amortizable intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 13.1 years. The following table summarizes the identifiable intangible assets at fair value as of the acquisition date.

($ in thousands)	Weighted average useful life in years		Fair value of identifiable asset

Note 5 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively, and recorded income tax expense of $10.6 million and $13.5 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

It is the Company’s policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective income tax rate was 26.4 percent and 28.2 percent for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. The decrease in the estimated annual effective income tax rate relates primarily to the change in earnings mix among domestic and foreign operations.

The tax effects of significant or unusual items are not considered in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. The tax effects of such discrete events are recognized in the interim period in which the events occur. The Company recorded discrete items resulting in an income tax benefit of $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.

The Company’s investment in marketable securities consists of United States treasury bonds. The marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income until realized. The Company determines fair value using data points that are observable, such as quoted prices and interest rates. The amortized cost of the investments approximates fair value. Investment income is recorded within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of February 29, 2024, all of the Company’s marketable securities investments mature within one year.

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit and does not enter into derivative instrument agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and are determined by standard calculations and models that use readily observable market parameters. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company has entered into various cross currency swaps that mature between the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and the third quarter of fiscal 2027 with a total notional amount of $100.0 million, or €91.7 million. The Company elected the spot method for designating these swaps as net investment hedges. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the fair value of these contracts are recorded within other noncurrent assets and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these contracts as of February 29, 2024 are included in the table above as either a derivative asset or liability.

At February 29, 2024 the Company had an outstanding foreign currency forward contract to sell a notional amount of 189.6 million South African rand at fixed prices to settle during the Company's next fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2024. The Company’s foreign currency forward contract does not qualify as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. The fair value of this contract as of February 29, 2024 is recorded within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

There were no required fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the six months ended February 29, 2024 or 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company enters into arrangements that obligate it to make future payments under contracts such as lease agreements. Additionally, the Company is involved, from time to time, in commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, business disputes and other legal proceedings. The Company has established accruals for certain proceedings based on an assessment of probability of loss. The Company believes that any such currently-pending proceedings are either covered by insurance or would not have a material effect on the business or its consolidated financial statements if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company. Such proceedings are exclusive of environmental remediation matters which are discussed separately below.

Infrastructure Products

The Company is currently defending a number of product liability lawsuits arising out of vehicle collisions with highway barriers incorporating the Company’s X-Lite® end terminal. Despite the September 2018 reversal of a sizable judgment against a competitor, the Company expects that the significant attention brought to the infrastructure products industry by the original judgment may lead to additional lawsuits being filed against the Company and others in the industry.

The Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and certain third parties which originally designed the X-Lite end terminal have also been named in a lawsuit filed on June 9, 2020 in the Circuit Court of Cole County, Missouri by Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (“MHTC”). MHTC alleges, among other things, that the X-Lite end terminal was defectively designed and failed to perform as designed, intended, and advertised, leading to MHTC’s removal and replacement of X-Lite end terminals from Missouri’s roadways. MHTC alleges strict liability (defective design and failure to warn), negligence, breach of express warranties, breach of implied warranties (merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose), fraud, and public nuisance. MHTC seeks compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages.

The Company believes it has meritorious factual and legal defenses to each of the lawsuits discussed above and is prepared to vigorously defend its interests. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not

believe that a loss is probable in any of these lawsuits; therefore, no accrual has been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, the Company is unable to estimate a range of potential loss due to the complexity and current status of these lawsuits. However, the Company maintains insurance coverage to mitigate the impact of adverse exposures in these lawsuits and does not expect that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial statements.

Following the March 2019 filing of a qui tam lawsuit (as amended, the “Lawsuit”) by an individual relator, on behalf of the United States and twelve individual states, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the “Court”), the Department of Justice, Civil Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York (the “U.S. Attorney’s Office”) proceeded to initiate an investigation into the relator’s allegations relating to the Company's X-Lite end terminal and potential violations of the False Claims Act. On September 28, 2023, the U.S. Attorney’s Office submitted a letter motion (the “Letter Motion”) informing the Court that the United States had investigated the relator’s allegations and now sought to move to dismiss the Lawsuit as it had “determined that dismissal is commensurate with the public interest because the claims lack merit and the matter does not warrant the continued expenditure of resources to pursue or monitor the action.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office also noted that it had “been advised by counsel for the twelve states that the states [had] no objection to the Court declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state claims and to dismissing those claims without prejudice to the states.” On October 2, 2023, the Court granted the Letter Motion and indicated that a motion to dismiss could be filed without further order or pre-motion conference. On October 12, 2023, after the relator proceeded to file his own notice of voluntary dismissal, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed its notice of consent to the relator’s voluntary dismissal. On October 26, 2023, the Court ordered the dismissal of the Lawsuit without prejudice as to the relator, the United States, and each of the twelve state plaintiffs.

Environmental Remediation

In previous years, the Company committed to a plan to remediate environmental contamination of the groundwater at and adjacent to its Lindsay, Nebraska facility (the “site”). The current estimated aggregate accrued cost of $10.7 million is based on consideration of remediation options which the Company believes could be successful in meeting the long-term regulatory requirements of the site. The Company submitted a revised remedial alternatives evaluation report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (the “NDEE”) in August 2020 to review remediation alternatives and proposed plans for the site. While the proposed remediation plan is preliminary and has not been approved by the EPA or the NDEE, they approved an in situ thermal remediation pilot study that was conducted by the Company at a specific location on the site. The Company completed the pilot program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. A final report was submitted to the EPA and NDEE for review in November 2023. The Company continues to work with the EPA and the NDEE on finalizing the proposed remediation plans for the site. Of the total liability as of February 29, 2024, $8.0 million was calculated on a discounted basis using a discount rate of 1.2 percent, which represents a risk-free rate. This discounted portion of the liability amounts to $9.0 million at February 29, 2024.

The Company accrues the anticipated cost of investigation and remediation when the obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the plan has not been formally approved by the EPA, the Company believes the current accrual is a good faith estimate of the long-term cost of remediation at this site; however, the estimate of costs and their timing could change as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to (1) EPA input on the proposed remediation plan and any changes which the EPA may subsequently require, (2) refinement of cost estimates and length of time required to complete remediation and post-remediation operations and maintenance, (3) effectiveness of the technology chosen in remediation of the site as well as changes in technology that may be available in the future, and (4) unforeseen circumstances existing at the site. As a result of these factors, the actual amount of costs incurred by the Company in connection with the remediation of contamination of its Lindsay, Nebraska site could exceed the amounts accrued for this expense at this time. While any revisions could be material to the operating results of any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the Company does not expect such additional expenses would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or financial condition.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs, which requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that finance its purchases with supplier finance programs. The Company adopted these amendments in its fiscal 2024, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal 2025. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2026.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in its fiscal 2025.
