(Unaudited)

(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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, inventories consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 27,**<br>**2025** | **December 28,**<br>**2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Raw materials and purchased parts | $271317 | $231811 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Work in process | 35245 | 35466 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Finished and manufactured goods | 284789 | 322986 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total inventories | $591351 | $590263 |

***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.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**VALMONT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

These assumptions are based on historical experience and current conditions. An actuarial analysis is performed to measure the expense and liability associated with the pension cost.

The components of the net periodic pension cost for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Thirteen weeks ended** | **Thirteen weeks ended** | **Thirty-nine weeks ended** | **Thirty-nine weeks ended** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Interest cost | $5706 | $5445 | $16872 | $15929 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Expected return on plan assets | (5908) | (5808) | (17470) | (16991) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization of prior service costs | 135 | 132 | 399 | 386 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization of net actuarial loss | 338 | 396 | 999 | 1158 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net periodic pension cost | $271 | $165 | $800 | $482 |

***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 September 27, 2025, 1,456,132 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 years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses (included in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings) and associated tax benefits as follows:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Stock-based compensation | $6019 | $7557 | $19396 | $21665 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Income tax benefits | 1504 | 1889 | 4849 | 5416 |

***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.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**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, 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

(Unaudited)

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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") consisted of the following:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accumulated other comprehensive loss | $(279287) | $(332775) |

***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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company's contract assets totaled $229,372 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 September 27, 2025, total contract liabilities were $81,445, with $81,116 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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025, the Company recognized $44,525 and $101,468 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.

● During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized $5,269 and $46,778 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.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

● As of September 27, 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 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.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(Unaudited)

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 September 27, 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:

***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 to 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 attributable to the noncontrolling interests and any applicable redemption value adjustments. Redemption value adjustments are offset against retained earnings. Earnings used in the computation of earnings 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 represented a change in redemption value that was treated as an adjustment to net earnings for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The Company determined that the 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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025. The Company concluded that the correction was not material to the period or to any previously issued financial statements.

As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the redeemable noncontrolling interests were $71,468 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 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 September 27, 2025, the Company had repurchased 8,662,681 shares for $1,459,800 under this program.

***Income Taxes***

In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, on July 4, 2025, federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The legislation includes a broad range of tax reform provisions. The Company recognized the impacts of the 2025 provisions, including those related to the timing of deductions for depreciation and research and experimentation costs, in its third quarter 2025 financial statements. Certain provisions of OBBBA will become effective in 2026 and subsequent years. While the legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, the Company continues to evaluate the potential effects of OBBBA on future periods.

***Long-Term Debt***

In the third 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 secured overnight financing rate 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.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software* (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This update amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs. The guidance will be adopted prospectively for the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Balance as of September 27, 2025 | $366701 | $203260 | $569961 |

---

In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment utilizing a quantitative test on all of its reporting units using a measurement date of August 30, 2025. The fair values of the 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. The estimated fair value of all reporting units exceeded their respective carrying value and no impairments were recorded.

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.

***Other Intangible Assets***

As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the components of other intangible assets were as follows:

|  | $302674 | $179257 | $321326 | $187244 |

---

The weighted-average life of amortizing intangible assets is approximately four years. Amortization expenses were $2,788 and $8,628 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025, respectively, and $3,112 and $10,183 for

the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to average $9,133 annually over the next five fiscal years, based on amortizing intangible assets reported as of September 27, 2025.

The Company's indefinite-lived trade names were tested for impairment as of August 30, 2025. The values of each trade name were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this evaluation, no trade names were determined to be impaired.

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.

As of September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, there were no outstanding stock options and 22,600 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 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 Earnings, while others are accounted for as fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedges.

(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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was as follows:

***Net Investment Hedges***

To manage foreign currency risk associated with its foreign currency 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 foreign-currency-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 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 September 27, 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| <br>**Currency** | **Notional**<br>**Amount** | <br>**Termination Date** | **Swapped**<br>**Interest Rate** | **Settlement**<br>**Amount** |

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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 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 $6,684 and $26,879 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 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 September 27, 2025, the Company has accrued $7,988 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.

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.

#### Overview
On a consolidated basis, net sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in the Infrastructure segment, partially offset by lower net sales in the Agriculture segment.

Consolidated gross profit increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter improvement was largely attributable to higher sales volumes in the Infrastructure segment, particularly within the Utility and Telecommunications product lines, as well as higher average selling prices in the Agriculture segment. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, lower sales in North America within the Agriculture segment more than offset gains in international markets. Improved volumes and pricing in the Infrastructure segment also contributed to the overall increase in consolidated gross profit.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses was similar in the third quarter and slightly higher for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The changes were primarily driven by higher credit loss expense, partially offset by lower compensation and incentive costs.

Consolidated operating income increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter increase was primarily due to improved pricing and higher volumes in the Infrastructure segment, partially offset by lower volumes in the Agriculture segment. The first three quarters decline was primarily attributable 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 third quarter and first three quarters 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 third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was 23.1% and 31.1%, respectively, as compared to 26.5% and 25.0% in the same periods of fiscal 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of earnings. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 was mainly attributable to goodwill impairment charges recorded during the period, for which no corresponding tax benefits were recognized.

Infrastructure segment sales increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. This growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in the Utility and Telecommunications product lines, which more than offset declines in the Lighting and Transportation ("L&T") and Solar product lines. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 results by approximately $4.5 million.

Regionally, Infrastructure segment sales increased in North America in both the third quarter and first three quarters 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 third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, reflecting favorable pricing and higher volumes. This performance was supported by continued strong demand in the utility market driven by ongoing investments in energy transition and grid modernization.

L&T product line sales declined in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, driven by lower volumes in the Asia-Pacific region and softer market demand in North America. A significant contributor to the decline was the divestiture of the extractive business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Coatings product line sales increased in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, benefiting from healthy infrastructure demand.

Telecommunications product line sales increased significantly in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, supported by our quick-turn order strategy and alignment with carrier spending programs.

Solar product line sales declined significantly in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, largely due to lower volumes resulting from the Company's strategic decision to exit select regional markets.

Infrastructure segment gross profit increased in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher volumes in the Utility and Telecommunications product lines, partially offset by lower volumes in the Solar product line. Additionally, a slowdown of L&T markets outside of the U.S., among other factors, led to the recognition of approximately $6.0 million of slow moving inventory reserves.

Infrastructure segment SG&A expenses decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and increased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter decrease primarily reflected lower compensation and incentives costs, partially offset by higher credit loss expense of approximately $3.7 million. The first three quarters increase primarily reflected higher credit loss expense of approximately $8.0 million, notably in the Solar product line in North America, partially offset by lower incentive costs.

Infrastructure segment operating income increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter increase was primarily attributable to higher pricing and volumes, and an improved global cost structure. The first three quarters decline 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 higher SG&A expenses.

In North America, Agriculture segment sales declined in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. These decreases were primarily due to 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 were similar for the quarter but declined slightly year-to-date, primarily due to a shift in product mix and increased competitive bidding activity in certain regions.

In international markets, Agriculture segment sales decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and increased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter decline was primarily driven by the timing of project sales in the Middle East and lower volumes in South America. The first three quarters increase was driven by stronger project volumes in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA") region and higher volumes in Brazil. These gains were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of approximately $10.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025.

Our Agriculture business remains cyclical and is influenced by factors such as 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 was similar in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and decreased in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The first three quarters decline was driven by lower volumes and slightly lower average selling prices in North America, which more than offset international volume gains.

Agriculture segment SG&A increased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The increase primarily reflected higher Brazil credit loss expense of approximately $11.0 million related to specific customer receivables, partially offset by lower compensation and incentive costs.

Agriculture segment operating income declined in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024. The third quarter decline was primarily due to lower volumes and increased expected customer credit loss expense. The first three quarters decline was primarily driven by lower sales volumes in North America and one-time charges related to the agriculture solar business totaling $5.9 million.

In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, operating income in the Agriculture segment was also negatively impacted by $4.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in reserves related to an unfavorable Brazilian court ruling involving a former dealer. The Company has appealed the decision and intends to contest all allegations. Management cannot reasonably estimate the timing of a potential outcome, the amount of a potential outcome,

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

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 decreased in the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower compensation and incentive costs, partially offset by higher professional services fees. In addition, the first three quarters 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 September 27, 2025, we had approximately $640.2 million of remaining capacity under the share repurchase program. Since the program's inception in May 2014, we have repurchased approximately 8.7 million shares for a total of $1.5 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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included $60.8 million and $45.6 million, respectively, related to the obligations under this program.

#### Sources of Financing
As of September 27, 2025, our available debt financing primarily included senior unsecured notes and a revolving credit facility.

*Senior Unsecured Notes*

As of September 27, 2025, our senior unsecured notes consisted of:

● $450.0 million face value ($434.4 million carrying value) notes at an interest rate of 5.00% per annum, maturing in October 2044.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● $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*

Our revolving credit facility, managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, has a maturity date of July 10, 2030. The facility provides up to $800.0 million in unsecured revolving credit, with $400.0 million available for borrowings in foreign currencies. An additional $400.0 million may be added to the facility, subject to lender commitments.

Authorized borrowers include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Valmont Industries Holland B.V. and Valmont Group Pty. Ltd. Obligations under this facility are 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 will be, at our option, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), based on a one-, three-, or six-month period, 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) daily simple SOFR and a spread of 100 to 162.5 basis points, depending on our credit rating.

Additionally, a commitment fee is applied to the average daily unused portion of the facility, ranging from 9 to 20 basis points, based on our credit rating.

As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. The facility includes a financial covenant that may limit additional borrowing. As of September 27, 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. Additionally, we maintain short-term bank lines of credit totaling $30.0 million, all of which were unused as of September 27, 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.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

As of September 27, 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 September 27, 2025, we held $226.1 million in cash, including $180.2 million in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions of this foreign cash would incur tax liabilities. As of September 27, 2025, we had liabilities of $1.5 million for foreign withholding taxes and $0.5 million for U.S. state income taxes.

We are in negotiations to purchase shares owned by minority shareholders of two consolidated subsidiaries that are not wholly owned. If completed, these transactions would result in the acquisition of the remaining associated redeemable noncontrolling interests. We estimate that the related cash outflows could exceed $90.0 million and may occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The ultimate timing and amounts of these potential payments will depend on the outcome of the ongoing negotiations.

We expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $140.0 million to $150.0 million for fiscal 2025.

#### Cash Flows
The table below summarizes our cash flow information for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024:

*Operating Cash Flows and Working Capital* – Cash provided by operating activities totaled $345.2 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to $379.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. The change in operating cash flows reflects unfavorable changes in working capital, including decreased customer receipts due to large down payments received in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. This was partially offset by decreases in tax and interest payments, as well as a reduction in required pension contributions. Cash flows for the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 were also impacted by severance payments totaling $5.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to organizational realignment programs.

*Investing Cash Flows* – Cash used in investing activities totaled $104.3 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to $55.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. Investing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 primarily included capital spending of $104.2 million. Investing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 primarily included capital spending of $53.8 million.

*Financing Cash Flows* – Cash used in financing activities totaled $186.2 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, as compared to $325.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2024. Our total interest-bearing debt was $755.7 million as of September 27, 2025 and $757.9 million as of December 28, 2024. Financing activities in the first three quarters 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 $135.0 million, dividends paid of $39.1 million, the purchase of treasury shares of $125.8 million, the purchase of a redeemable noncontrolling interest of $14.6 million following the exercise of put options by the minority shareholders, and the net activity from stock option and incentive plans,

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

including the associated withholding payments, of $1.9 million. Financing activities in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 primarily consisted of borrowings on the revolving credit facility and short-term notes of $37.4 million, offset by principal repayments on our long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $249.9 million, dividends paid of $36.3 million, the repurchase of common stock of $55.1 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 $3.9 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 thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 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) 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.

#### FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
There were no material changes in the Company's financial obligations and commitments during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025. For additional information on the Company's financial obligations and commitments, refer to the "Cash Uses" section in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

#### CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The accounting policies described below involve significant judgments and estimates that are used in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management exercises substantial judgment in determining these estimates, which are essential to our financial reporting. The key areas that involve such estimates include impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, revenue recognition for product lines recognized over time, and inventory obsolescence. These estimates are based on our past experiences and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable given the circumstances.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

We continually re-evaluate these estimates as circumstances evolve, understanding that actual results may differ due to changes in assumptions or conditions. To ensure accuracy and transparency in our financial reporting, the selection and application of our critical accounting policies are reviewed annually by our Audit Committee.

Other than the below, there were no material changes in the Company's critical accounting estimates during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025. For additional information on the Company's critical accounting estimates, refer to the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

***Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter, aligning this assessment with our strategic planning process. For the fiscal 2025 annual goodwill impairment test, we estimated the fair value of the eleven reporting units with recorded goodwill using a discounted cash flow model. This model factors in projected after-tax cash flows from operations, net of capital expenditures, discounted to their present value. Additionally, we perform sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes in key assumptions, such as discount rates and cash flow forecasts, on the valuation of the reporting units.

For fiscal 2025 annual testing, no reporting units had a fair value lower than their carrying value. However, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we identified triggering events that required interim goodwill impairment testing for certain reporting units within the Infrastructure segment, resulting in impairments totaling $64.9 million. For fiscal 2024, no reporting units had a fair value lower than their carrying value.

Our reporting units are cyclical, and their sales and profitability may fluctuate from year to year. For our APAC Highway Safety and EMEA Structures reporting units, with a combined goodwill of approximately $43.6 million, the amount of cushion or excess fair value above their carrying values was less than or approximately 15%. We believe these reporting units will generate positive cash flows that exceed their current carrying values, and we will continue to monitor their growth prospects and opportunities for continuous improvement.

We actively monitor the global economy for potential factors that could impact the operating results of our reporting units. Should adverse conditions arise, we will conduct an impairment test for any affected reporting units prior to our annual testing. When evaluating reporting units, we focus on their long-term prospects, recognizing that current performance may not always be indicative of future value, which requires management judgment, particularly regarding cash flow projections.

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of trade names, which are tested separately from goodwill. We use the relief-from-royalty method to value these assets, calculating the potential royalty a third party might pay to use the trade name, which is then discounted to present value and tax-effected. For fiscal 2025 annual testing, the fair value of our trade names exceeded their carrying value. However, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we performed an interim test on certain indefinite-lived trade names and one trade name's carrying value exceeded its fair value, resulting in a $4.8 million impairment within the Infrastructure segment. For fiscal 2024, the fair value of our trade names exceeded their carrying value.

Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, due to identified impairment indicators, we tested the recoverability of an amortizing customer relationship intangible asset in the Agriculture segment. We determined the asset's carrying value exceeded its total undiscounted estimated future cash flows. As a result, we recognized a $1.4 million impairment within the Agriculture segment.

#### ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no material changes in the Company's market risk during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025. For additional information on the Company's market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. As of September 27, 2025, we have repurchased 8,662,681 shares for approximately $1.5 billion under this program.
