Hello, everybody and welcome to today's Valmont Industries Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. My name is Drew and I will be coordinating your call today. [Operator Instructions] I'm now going to hand over to Ms. Campbell to begin. Please go ahead.

Thank you and good morning. Welcome to Valmont Industries second quarter 2022 earnings call. With me today are Steve Kaniewski, President and Chief Executive Officer; Avner Applbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Tim Francis, Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller. This morning, Steve will provide a brief summary of our second quarter results, commenting on our market and long-term business strategy. Avner will review our financial performance and provide our outlook and indications for 2022, with closing remarks from Steve. This will be followed by Q&A. A live webcast of the presentation will accompany today's call and is available for download from the webcast or on the investors page at Valmont.com. A replay will be available on our website later this morning. Please note that this call is subject to our disclosure on forward-looking statements which applies to today's discussion, is outlined on Slide 2 of the presentation and will be read in full at the end of today's call. I would now like to turn the call over to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Steve Kaniewski.

Thank you, Renee. Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us. Yesterday afternoon, we announced another record quarter of results, delivering on our commitments and growing both our top and bottom line as strong demand continued across our portfolio, driven by higher volumes and improved profitability. Despite ongoing supply chain volatility, we have continued to deliver products and solutions to our customers as they strive to meet robust demand across global infrastructure and agriculture markets. During these volatile times, we are taking specific steps to control what we can. For example, our Procurement teams are partnering with Engineering to identify and qualify alternative source, reducing our dependency on single-source products to mitigate the impact of supply chain disruptions. We have also leveraged our global footprint to expand manufacturing of certain key components in other facilities, such as Dubai and Brazil, often with the added benefits of localization. We're doing a good job of attracting and retaining the talent we have, maintaining stability in the workforce and reducing costs. While our actions do not eliminate challenges, they have positioned us better to manage through the volatility that we face. Returning to our second quarter performance on Slide 4. Sales grew 27% year-over-year due to continued strong end-market demand, our team's focused efforts to increase volume across our footprint and continue pricing actions. This quarter marks the seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year sales growth. Robust demand trends in Infrastructure and Agriculture markets show no signs of abate as evidenced by our growing backlog and we continue to deploy an operating model that drives improvements across the organization. In addition, we are committed to a disciplined and strategic pricing framework to ensure that we adequately capture the value we provide to our customers. I believe our results demonstrate that our strategy is working and I am very proud of the performance of our Valmont team around the world. Turning to the segments. Infrastructure sales grew 24% year-over-year with double-digit sales growth in all product lines led by higher volumes, primarily in Renewable Energy, Telecommunications and TDS, as well as favorable pricing globally. Ongoing electrification of power infrastructure continues to lead investments in the utility grid and in renewable energy sources. And recent announcement of funding for domestic solar panel production and a pause on tariffs are driving demand well into next year. Additionally, we expect to begin seeing the benefits of the U.S. Infrastructure Bill in 2023. And with the addition of our newest acquisition, ConcealFab which I will discuss in more detail shortly, we are well prepared for continued growth in the Telecommunications market, offering industry-leading products and outstanding service to our valued customers. Turning to Agriculture. Sales grew 34% year-over-year with strength from all regions as global agricultural markets remains strong. We recognized double-digit volume growth in both North America and also in international markets, notably in Brazil and Western Europe, with strong demand for irrigation equipment and ag solar projects in those regions. Ag tech sales also improved year-over-year. Enhancing food security and strengthening local economies remains a priority for many nations and customers around the world. A recent World Bank study showed that global grain supplies, including corn and wheat, have tightened for the second year in a row and the aggregate stock feeds ratio is expected to drop for a third consecutive season. We are in a unique position to supply irrigation, solar and technology solutions to improve land productivity and reduce input costs for the grower, with a global reach that provides us with a more resilient business model to adapt to these market dynamics and cycles. Despite current economic volatility, we believe our current demand environment will continue to be very positive. And with our aligned management structure and centralized operational framework, we are rising to the challenge to deliver results through a greater customer focus, improved productivity and increased efficiency in our factories. We are a stronger organization today and have demonstrated that we are better positioned to navigate ongoing macroeconomic challenges. Turning to Slide 5. During the quarter, we acquired a majority interest in ConcealFab. This exciting transaction aligns well with our strategy to invest in high-growth market sectors and enhances our portfolio of Telecommunication solutions. ConcealFab is a fast-growing industry leader in 5G infrastructure and passive intermodulation, or PIM Mitigation. PIM interference arises when signal at the cell site are mixed which can degrade system performance and lead to unreliable coverage and spotty data speeds. ConcealFab's portfolio of PIM solutions helps both identify these issues and solve the problem to improve performance. Joining the Valmont team provides immediate commercial benefits, as we are now able to accelerate expansion in telecom markets in partnership with the industry leader Ericsson who remains a minority owner of the business. This is a tremendous step toward enhancing our access to markets and carriers around the world. With our combined experience in the space and leveraging Valmont's engineering expertise and global manufacturing footprint, we are positioned to address critical pain points and further accelerate the delivery of 5G technology to the market. We are excited to welcome the ConcealFab team to Valmont. Turning to Slide 6 and an update on our ESG initiatives. For Valmont, our project for sustainability begins with our tagline, Conserving Resources, Improving Lives. It's at the core of everything we do. It includes our commitment to our 2025 environmental and diversity goals and the four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that naturally align with our business. Today, I would like to share with you a couple of examples that exemplify our progress towards those goals. We recently opened a new spun concrete pole factory in Bristol, Indiana. This plant expands production of concrete utility products and gives us an important presence in the northern part of the U.S. The transmission poles manufactured here will be used by our customers to help build a more reliable and resilient electrical grid. At this site, we are in the early stages of installing a 500-kilowatt solar array using our single access tracker solution. This installation complements the production of highly-engineered low-carbon concrete transmission poles. We have also signed a net metering agreement with the local power provider that will allow us to net meter at retail price, demonstrating that ESG initiatives, when done right, are good for business. Upon completion, the solar field is expected to fully offset all of the site's electricity consumption, an example of a real 0 emissions plan. We worked with partners and formed agreements that make these capital investments compelling and enhance profitable growth, a true win-win. Elsewhere, Valmont was recently recognized by the Department of Energy for our Alternative Energy-Mobile Source Project. We successfully replaced 100 gasoline vehicles with electric vehicles at our Valley, Nebraska campus. This has reduced the site's Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions by more than 130 metric tons annually with an associated annual fuel cost savings. For the project, we were presented with the Better Projects Award as a part of the DOE's Better Building Initiatives. This annual award recognizes organizations for outstanding accomplishments in implementing industrial energy, water and waste projects at individual facilities that improve efficiency or reduce emissions and waste. These efforts have led to the launch of our Green Fleet Initiative across all of Valmont and we plan to use this project as a model to enhance sustainability throughout our global footprint. Before turning the call over to Avner, in summary, we performed well in the second quarter, achieving record revenue, EPS and backlog. Our team is delivering innovative solutions to our customers. End market demand in both Infrastructure and Agricultural markets remain strong. As Avner will detail in a few minutes, we are also raising our 2022 outlook. Our financial strength enables us to support strategic growth initiatives while returning cash to our shareholders to further expand shareholder value. I am pleased with our results and excited about our future. With that, I will now turn the call over to Avner for our second quarter financial review and updated outlook.

Thank you, Steve and good morning, everyone. Turning to Slide 8 and second-quarter results, my comments will focus on the adjusted results as outlined in the press release and in the Reg G disclosure in the presentation of earnings. Second quarter operating income of $122.9 million or 10.8% of net sales grew 35% year-over-year, driven by higher volume, improved fixed cost leverage and our ability to successfully execute on pricing strategy. Diluted earnings per share grew 21% to $3.70 due to higher operating income, partially offset by a higher tax expense which is primarily due to a change in the geographic mix of earnings compared to last year. Turning to the segments and starting with Infrastructure on Slide 9. Operating income increased to $84.6 million or 11.1% of net sales driven by favorable pricing and improved fixed cost leverage, including SG&A. Moving to Slide 10. In the Agriculture segment, operating income increased to $62.2 million or 16.6% of net sales. The benefit of higher average selling prices and additional volume leverage was partially offset by higher SG&A, including incremental R&D expense for technology investments. Turning to cash flow on Slide 11. Year-to-date operating cash flow of $68 million reflects a sequential improvement compared to first quarter as expected, even as working capital levels remain elevated to meet strong sales growth. As previously stated, we expect to see a notable improvement in cash generation and working capital level in the second half of the year. We're confident that our actions as a team will help us deliver strong cash flow as working capital levels improve, with full-year operating cash flow expected to exceed net earnings in 2022. Turning to Slide 12 for a summary of capital deployment. Year-to-date, capital spending is $50 million, including $18 million for strategic growth investments. We spent $39 million on M&A in the second quarter for the acquisition of ConcealFab. Additionally, over $32 million of capital has been returned to shareholders year-to-date through dividends and share repurchases and we ended the quarter with approximately $155 million of cash. We continue to maintain a balanced approach to capital allocation that enables us to grow organically and inorganically, reinvesting in our businesses and returning cash to shareholders. Moving to Slide 13. Our balance sheet remains strong and total debt to adjusted EBITDA of 1.8x remains within our desired range of 1.5x to 2.5x. Let me now turn to Slide 14 for updated 2022 outlook. Based on our strong year-to-date results and positive outlook for the second half of 2022, we are increasing our full-year guidance. Net sales are now expected to increase 20% to 21% year-over-year to approximately $4.2 billion, primarily due to pricing to offset continued broad-based inflation. This also assumes an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of 2% of full-year net sales and its associated unfavorable EPS impact. Full-year volume growth is expected to be in the mid-single digits. Adjusted earnings per share is now estimated to increase 24% to 28% year-over-year to a range of $13.60 to $14. This reflects a higher expected full-year tax rate of approximately 27.5% due to our expected geographic mix of earnings. Other metrics and assumptions are summarized on the slide and in the press release. The strong market demand across our businesses, the strength and flexibility of our global team and our continued pricing strategies give us confidence in achieving our financial targets. Additionally, investments in technology and strategic growth initiatives across the portfolio remain a priority for us this year. Finally, for modeling purposes in the Agriculture segment, a reminder that the third quarter is typically a lower sales quarter compared to the rest of the year. However, we expect a lower seasonality effect this year due to ongoing delivery of backlog in the segment. With that, I will now turn the call back over to Steve.

Thank you, Avner. Turning to Slide 15. We delivered great results this quarter as market demand remains robust and order activity is strong, evidenced by another quarter of record revenue while growing record global backlog of $2 billion, up nearly 25% from year-end 2021. Looking through the end of 2022 and into 2023, we expect the strong demand momentum to continue. Turning to Slide 16. In summary, I am extremely pleased with how our team has performed. Over the past few years, we have been very intentional with our strategy by leveraging our position of financial strength and flexibility while continuing to invest in our employees and technology to deliver growth over the long term. Our diversified portfolio of products and solutions focused on operational excellence and the enduring long-term market drivers of our businesses haven't changed. We recognize that these are challenging times across the global -- current global economy and there is growing uncertainty around recessionary pressures. Our markets are supported by strong secular growth drivers that are independent of the general economy and less correlated to macroeconomic cycles, giving us confidence into 2023 and beyond. We remain focused on our customers and driving growth in innovation and execution. And our disciplined approach to capital allocation has served us well as we have effectively balanced investing in growth with returning capital to shareholders. We continue to focus on managing what we can control and I'm confident this approach will lead to a continued strong performance in 2022 and beyond, enabling us to deliver shareholder value well into the future. I will now turn the call back over to Renee.

Thank you, Steve. At this time, the operator will open up the call for questions.

[Operator Instructions] So our first question is going to come from Chris Moore from CJS Securities and I will just open your line now.

So just in terms of the growth by segment, if could you break out the price and volume a little bit further within Infrastructure and Agriculture?

Thanks for your question. Overall, as we stated, if I start from Agriculture, right, we do have a double-digit volume growth in the quarter and expectation is to be the same for the remainder of the year. When you look in Infrastructure, pretty much across the board, we are getting volume growth. As we stated, kind of mid-single digits and expecting to get mid-single digit volume growth throughout the year pretty much across the product lines in the segment.

Got it. And just for my follow-up. So you talked about strategically expanding capacity in key growth markets. Can you provide just maybe a little more detail there and talk about which segments or subsegments are perhaps closest to capacity at this point?

Chris, this is Steve. Irrigation, we've been methodically adding capacity in different parts of the world. Brazil, notably, obviously, to meet the increased demand down there. In Dubai, we pretty much doubled the size of the facility over the past 2.5 years. We have added in the Utility area and Telecom area in Monterrey, Mexico, again, over about the past 1.5 years. And so those are some of the areas that we are watching closely and making sure that we keep a proper balance of capacity versus volume coming through them. Also, that's one of the reasons we're really pushing our mean efforts and productivity efforts around advanced manufacturing and robotics so that we can continue to gain production hours without a lot of brick-and-mortar.

Got it. I'll leave it there.

Our next question comes from Nathan Jones from Stifel. Nathan, your line is now open.

I wanted to start with a question on gross margins. In the face of heavy inflation and a lot of price pass-through, I thought it was pretty impressive that gross margins actually expanded 10 basis points. Hoping you can provide a little bit more color on whether or not you're able to pass through the inflation with some margin on it? Operational efficiencies, leverage on volume that's keeping those gross margins really healthy, given all the inflation that's running through?

Thank you, Nathan. This is Avner. I'll take that one. So first of all, yes, we're pretty pleased with our ability to expand margins in this inflationary environment. And pricing, it's pretty much product line by product line, market by market. It differs and we do have opportunities to expand our margins through pricing in many areas. Additionally, we are getting leverage on additional volume. We're taking advantage of productivity improvement. As we mentioned, we're doing localization for region, that is driving improvement as well. And so all in all, we are able to expand margin. Pretty pleased with the fact that we're doing that in this difficult environment.

And Nathan, I'll just add that...

Just to put -- go ahead.

Sorry. I was just going to add that inflation is this ever-evolving thing that's out there and so we're just saying hyper attentive to any parts of the business that have inflation. Obviously, in the second quarter, fuel and fuel surcharges really ramped up above most people's expectations and so that's something that we'll still play catch up on. But as Avner talked about, from a productivity perspective, the plant has done an excellent job.

Great. I guess I'll ask a price versus volume question on the backlog as well just to get a finer point on that. Is there any color you can give us on how much the backlog is up price versus volume?

I think it's pretty reflective of what we're seeing right now in the business where we're getting additional volume in the backlog as well as pricing. But it's pretty indicative of what you're seeing in our results today and for the remainder of the year.

[Indiscernible] is to revenue then?

Yes, that is correct.

Our next question comes from Brian Drab from William Blair.

I wanted to ask just a question about interest rates and whether you're seeing any change in project activity or conversations around larger projects, particularly in utility changing at all as maybe the ROIC on some of these projects doesn't look as attractive, given the higher interest rate environment in the second half of '22 and into '23? Is that a concern?

Yes. Brian, we don't really see anything as of yet that has been impacted by interest rates. The return on equities, particularly in Utility, are still very strong. They outperformed most other investment vehicles in the market. And so therefore, I think with the renewables targets, with the amount of electrical grid congestion that we're starting to see and just the need for grid hardening, I think that those will continue fairly unabated. And everything we've been looking at from a demand profile as we look into '23 and '24 still looks very strong in terms of not just maintaining the base but continuing to grow on top of the base. I think telecom providers, while it may be affecting their financing to a degree, the fact is they spent a ton of money on the C-band auctions and some of the subsequent auctions where they're going to -- and they have performance guarantees to get coverage, they're going to have to install what they have out there, too. So the two areas that will be most affected by financing actually look to be pretty healthy.

Okay. And I hate to blow my second question on tax rate but I'm going to just because it's going to have bearing on the 2023 models here. But it looks like -- if 27.5% is the right number for the best guess for the full-year '22, does that put us in the kind of the 27.5% to 28% range for the second half of the year? And is there any reason to think that, that would not be the best guess for 2023?

Yes. So really, the main drivers, like we mentioned, was geographic mix and we are seeing very strong performance out of Brazil which currently have a higher tax rate, as you're all familiar with the -- going back and forth with the treasury and kind of Brazil and getting penalized for double taxation there. Assuming that situation stays the same and we continue to get strength in Brazil, we will see a slightly higher tax rate. So that's how I'm trying to look at it right now.

So 27.5% is where we believe it will stay at this point.

Our next question comes from Brian Wright from ROTH Capital Partners.

Congrats on the quarter, really impressive results. I wanted to just drill down a little from just -- try and get a little help on the modeling side as far as breaking down the revenue growth profile kind of between Infrastructure and the Ag Irrigation side for the year? Just kind of -- any help you could give on that would be great.

So this is Avner. So the way I'd look at it right now is when you look for the remainder of the year, you look at Agriculture, we should continue to expect to see double-digit volume growth in both North America and internationally, actually. And then when you look at Infrastructure, let's assume that we're going to grow mid-single-digit volume growth pretty much across those infrastructure product lines is the way I would look and the remainder would be pricing.

Okay. And just following up on that. Recently, the commodity prices in the past kind of month or so has come in a bit and just kind of think about like where the sensitivities are on that and if things were to continue? Just kind of how that would impact things?

Yes. If it's on the cost side, with steel and zinc and others on the decline, we have no plans to give that back other than we're contractual in kind of our utility space. There are so many other inflationary factors on -- through the other parts of the business that there's no need to get it back at this point. And we've been able to do that with the supply-demand profile that exists. From -- if you go to the farmer input cost side, if those are the commodities that you're thinking about with corn and soy and some recent pullback there, a lot of that is due to the dollar strength. As the dollar has strengthened, you'll see those pull back. If the dollar were to weaken, they'd probably go back up. And we're kind of in this lull period from a North American harvest perspective or even a crop health assessment to see what's going to happen out there. But farmers remain very positive. We actually had some economists in to -- kind of rightly predicted the upturn in the Ag markets. We believe 2023 should see no difference from 2022. And so the net farm income will change and fertilizer costs have stabilized or come down a little bit, that will obviously help the farmer as they think about 2023. So overall, not much change due to the recent commodity changes out there.

Great. And is part of it just to think about it, it's -- it's a process and it takes time to get everything kind of through into the pricing? And so did the catch-up, so to speak, is -- would more than offset kind of any near-term kind of further pressure on some of the -- or on the metal side?

Yes, that's correct. We have inventory that we purchased, let's say, at higher rates and that's why it was priced at that point. And with the backlog, let's say, in the longest backlog in the utility area, around 26 weeks, you've already kind of mark-to-market it at the time that you purchased and you took the order. So that should just move through without a lot of squeeze, let's say, for downward pressure on pricing.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Ryan Connors from North Coast Research.

Great. I wonder, Steve, if you could discuss in a little more depth, the decision-making process around deploying capital toward the new manufacturing plants -- my age, I'm old enough to remember the Transmission industry kind of getting ahead of its skis. I guess that was 10, 12 years ago and a lot of capacity going in at a later point in the cycle and the result being a pretty tough pricing cycle. So with that background, I'm just curious and I'm sure that there was a lot of due diligence. But can you do the thought process and the different considerations on that front?

Yes. I think the dynamic is a little different than '12 and '13 specifically in this sense. One, most of us had our battle-tested through that and we remember it quite distinctly. And so now the real push is on productivity as a way to gain capacity through the plants. So the capital decisions are more, first and foremost, focused towards automation, improved flow through the facilities, better cutting machines, better welding machines, things that can really help you just move more of the product through your existing footprint. In terms of a big brick-and-mortar, it's like the last thing that we want to do. And so therefore, we're going to stay very close to the market. We'll be very close on lead times. I think the other big dynamic is the market has acted very consistently, particularly over the last five years. It's been a steady growth curve with no real big projects. Like back then with CREZ which was the big Texas build-out for renewables, kind of lurking in the background. And so as long as we stay very close to the utilities on their demand profile, as long as we are continuing to build productivity year-over-year which everyone expects from their operations teams and then really putting the right capital, smart capital, I'll call it, towards those productivity things, that's where we're going to pack the market. Obviously, if you compound these numbers out, there may be a need somewhere down the line. But we've been fairly successful because of our operations model of as one product line declined slightly or volume is not quite where we expected, we can quickly put in another product lines product and that came through the centralization of our operations group. So that's also given us a large boost of capacity that, frankly, was latent just sitting there for us to take. And so that's helped us to date.

Yes. Okay, that's very helpful. And then I guess, my other one is more -- is for Avner, really. Avner, on the SG&A line is something we've been kind of having a tougher time modeling. In some quarters, it seems like it grows in line with sales, other times, you seem to be getting some pretty good leverage there. So looking ahead, how can we think about that? Is there a growth rate in SG&A we should think about with inflation and that type of cost? Or is it more of a percent of sales you're targeting? Anything you can help us out with there would be appreciated.

Yes. So overall, I look at SG&A, of course, it goes up and down with sales. That's clearly, like you said, there's a correlation there. Continued investment in R&D is another area that you can track through the P&L. Possibly when you look at incentive size, that can kind of -- that will go up and that will impact your increase in your SG&A as well. But those are kind of the main areas I kind of focus on when I look at the SG&A.

Yes. And I would just say from a base SG&A, we are gaining leverage. We're choosing to strategically invest in R&D both in Agriculture and Infrastructure along with Technology front at a run rate that would exceed last year. So if you throw that with the incentives piece, more than likely, the two may offset from leverage on the base side to what we're reinvesting on the other side. But we gained leverage this quarter.

Okay, great.

Final question comes from Bill Baldwin from Baldwin Anthony Securities.

Okay. I was very impressed with the double-digit growth, volume growth in the North American ag business. Can you provide a little insight as to what's driving that outstanding performance?

Thanks, Bill. North America has been performing very well. It's a mature market, there is a lot of demand that's out there and I think our team did a really good job of capturing that. We did have, let's say, a little bit more than normal storm damage from some of the events, particularly in the Midwest. But the growth has been pretty universal across all different regions, whether it's the Southeast, the Northwest, the Midwest. And a lot of our dealer performance program and what we're doing to incentivize the dealers, the additional services, the additional tech that they're selling really has led to that kind of volume growth. That being said, we probably have more backlog than we normally would this time of year that will carry over into the third quarter. So it could have been maybe even a little bit better, albeit because of some of the supply chain issues. So the market is strong and it really represents kind of the global net farm income story and the need for food security. No different here than it is in the developing world or in Western Europe.

And just one more thing. This is Avner. So on the production side, because of our localization efforts, we've been able to support region for region. In North America, we can support the North America region which help us produce against the demand that we had.

Steve, does it look like you're actually gaining new customers in that business in addition to upgrading existing customers or replacement for existing customers? Are you capturing new customers?

I think, to a degree, yes. In North America, we have some efforts around going after cattle farmers. We have certain crops like potatoes and peanuts that I think are new to the mix of sales that we would have had historically. We've had some solar projects in North America that have also contributed to that. So I think the need for irrigation and conserving water is really becoming [indiscernible] for all the growers because of who they sell to, also asking for conservation measures to be put in place. So think of PepsiCo or Unilever, they want to have and buy from a sustainable farm and they want those farms to be able to substantiate that. And I think that's kind of the new driver that's driving the additional growth in the market, particularly in North America.

Very interesting. And just one last quick question. Do you think your technology platform that you've developed in the ag area is driving any of this demand for hardware, for Pivot systems?

I think the technology definitely enhances the payback story on Pivot. The ability to operate remotely, the ability to get plant insights, particularly around emergence and pest and disease really makes the Pivot a much more valuable tool to the farmer. And so therefore, yes, to answer your question, if the Pivot were static and just all it did was mechanical irrigation, then I think -- it doesn't have the same value proposition. Because most growers' equipment, other pieces of equipment have advanced in technology as well. And so it's, I believe, just a simple market expectation. And our solution is pretty unique in the insights area and being able to look at the crop very early on and straight through to the harvest process.

That concludes today's Q&A session. I will now refer back to Ms. Campbell for further remarks.

Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. As mentioned, today's call will be available for playback on our website or by phone for the next seven days and we look forward to speaking with you again next quarter.
