Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.

Further disaggregation of revenue is disclosed in the Note 14 – Industry Segment Information.
For contracts with an initial length longer than 12 months, the unsatisfied performance obligations were$1.4 million at November 30, 2023.
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 November 30, 2023, November 30, 2022, and August 31, 2023, contract assets amounted to $0.7 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 November 30, 2023, November 30, 2022, and August 31, 2023, contract liabilities amounted to $21.7 million, $27.5 million, and $20.5 million, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the Company’sthree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $17.9 million of revenue that were included in the liabilities as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The revenue recognized was due to applying advance payments received for the performance obligations completed during the quarter.
Note 3 – Net Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other dilutive securities.
-9 -
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share for thethree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022:
| Three months ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| ($ and shares in thousands, except per share amounts) | November 30,2023 | November 30,2022 |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net earnings | $15,019 | $18,217 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted average shares outstanding | 11,017 | 10,989 |
| Diluted effect of stock awards | 42 | 84 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution | 11,059 | 11,073 |
| Basic net earnings per share | $1.36 | $1.66 |
| Diluted net earnings per share | $1.36 | $1.65 |
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 months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.
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 $32.6 million was financed through an all-cash transaction from the Company's cash on hand.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for FieldWise at the acquisition date. The Company expects the purchase price allocation to be finalized by the end of fiscal 2024 after completing any necessary working capital adjustments.
| ($ 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 | 16,473 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (228) |
| Deferred revenues | (2,132) |
| Non-current deferred revenues | (235) |
| Total purchase price | $32,621 |
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. The fair value assigned to the Company’s deferred revenues was increased from $1.5 million to $2.4 million. The change in fair value proportionally increased the balance of residual goodwill from $15.6 million to $16.5 million as of November 30, 2023. These adjustments were the product of finalizing working capital 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 $0.7 million related to tradenames. The amortizable intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 13.1 years. Thefollowing table summarizes the identifiable intangible assets at fair value.
-10 -
| ($ in thousands) | Weighted average useful life in years | Fair value of identifiable asset |
|---|---|---|
| Intangible assets: | ||
| Customer relationships | 15.0 | $8,700 |
| 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 $6.0 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 28.0 percent and 27.3 percent for thethree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The slight increase in the estimated annual effective income tax rate relates primarily to the change in earnings mix among 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 expense of $0.1 million and benefit of $0.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which relate primarily to the vesting of share-based compensation awards.
Note 6 – Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following as of November 30, 2023, November 30, 2022, and August 31, 2023:
| ($ in thousands) | November 30,2023 | November 30,2022 | August 31,2023 |

The Company’s investment in marketable securities consists of United States treasury bonds and investment grade corporate 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 (expense) income on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of November 30, 2023, approximately 96 percent of the Company’s marketable securities investments mature within one year and 4 percent mature within one to two years.
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.
On June 12, 2023, the Company entered into a fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap with a notional amount of $25.0 million, or €23.3 million, that is set to mature on June 12, 2026. The Company elected the spot method for designating this contract as a net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of this contract are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of this contract as of November 30, 2023 is disclosed in the table above and is recorded within other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million, or €45.6 million, that is set to mature on March 30, 2027. The Company elected the spot method for designating this contract as a net investment hedge. Changes in the fair value of this contract are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of this contract as of November 30, 2023 is disclosed in the table above and is recorded within other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
-13 -
At November 30, 2023 the Company had an outstanding foreign currency forward contract to sell a notional amount of 227.5 million South African rand at fixed prices to settle during the Company's next fiscal quarter ending February 29, 2024. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations.
There wereno required fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for thethree months ended November 30, 2023 or 2022.
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 Litigation
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 November 30, 2023, $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 November 30, 2023.
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.
The following table summarizes the environmental remediation liability classifications included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 30, 2023, November 30, 2022, and August 31, 2023:

Note 11 – Share-Based Compensation
The Company’s current share-based compensation plans, approved by the stockholders of the Company, provides for awards of stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees and non-employee directors of the Company. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Share-based compensation expense was $1.6 million for each of the three month periods ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.
The following table illustrates the type and fair value of share-based compensation awards granted during thethree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022:

| PSUs | 21,248 | $141.61 | 14,496 | $173.17 |
The RSUs granted during the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 included 2,861 and 2,112, respectively, that will be settled in cash. The weighted average stock price on the date of grant was$120.59 and $156.16 per award for thethree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Share issuances are presented net of share repurchases to cover payroll taxes of $1.6 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options awarded during thethree months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022:
| Three months ended November 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Dividend yield | 1.2% | 0.9% |
| Volatility | 37.8% | 35.7% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.8% | 4.4% |
| Expected life (years) | 5 | 5 |
The PSUs granted during fiscal 2024 include performance goals based on a return on invested capital ("ROIC") and total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Company's peers during the performance period. The awards actually earned will range from zero totwo hundred percent of the targeted number of PSUs and will be paid in shares of common stock. Shares earned will be distributed upon vesting on the first day of November following the end of thethree-year performance period. For the ROIC portion of the award, the Company is accruing compensation expense based on the estimated number of shares expected to be issued utilizing the most current information available to the Company at the date of the consolidated financial statements. For the TSR portion of the award, compensation expense is recorded ratably over the three-year term of the award based on the estimated grant date fair value.
The fair value of the TSR portion of the awards granted during the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 was estimated at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model which included the following assumptions:
| Three months ended November 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Expected term (years) | 3 | 3 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.9% | 4.5% |
