Valmont reported FY 2025 net sales of USD 4.1 billion (+0.7%), with gross profit of USD 1.2 billion and operating income of USD 415.6 million (-20.8%). Net earnings attributable to shareholders were USD 350.3 million (+0.6%), or diluted EPS of USD 16.79 (-2.3%). Net interest expense was USD 32.4 million (-37.2%), while the effective tax rate was 6.3% versus 25.2%, driven by a tax benefit that included a USD 73.8 million worthless securities deduction tied to the exit of its Prospera business and a USD 13.4 million release of valuation allowances on certain foreign tax credits. Infrastructure segment net sales were USD 3.1 billion (+3.0%), led by Utility sales of USD 1.5 billion (+10.4%) and Telecommunications sales of USD 313.9 million (+25.2%), while Solar sales fell to USD 81.6 million (-46.2%) as the company exited select regional markets in Q2 FY 2025. Agriculture segment net sales were USD 1.0 billion (-5.8%), including North America sales of USD 506.3 million (-11.3%), amid softer irrigation equipment demand. FY 2025 results included USD 91.3 million of long-lived asset impairments and USD 15.4 million of realignment charges; Infrastructure also recorded USD 6.9 million of solar inventory reserves and Agriculture increased inventory reserves by USD 8.5 million. Valmont ended FY 2025 with consolidated backlog of about USD 1.7 billion, up from about USD 1.4 billion, reflecting higher Infrastructure backlog partly offset by lower Agriculture backlog. The company also said its board raised total share repurchase authorization to USD 2.1 billion (USD 567.0 million remaining as of Dec. 27, 2025) and approved a quarterly dividend of USD 0.77 per share (annualized USD 3.08) on Feb. 23, 2026.
