Lindsay Corporation Reports Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results • Irrigation and Infrastructure segments deliver fourth quarter revenue growth • Fourth quarter revenues grow to $128.4 million and EPS improves to $1.35 • Margin improvement objective achieved with full year operating margin of 11.4 percent

OMAHA, Neb., October 22, 2020—Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructureequipment and technology, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year, which ended on August 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Summary

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $128.4 million, an increase of $26.5 million, or 26 percent, compared to revenues of $101.9 millionin the prior year fourth quarter. Net earnings for the quarter were $14.7 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $1.5 million, or$0.14 per diluted share, for the prior year fourth quarter. Net earnings for the prior year fourth quarter adjusted to eliminate costs associated with theFoundation for Growth initiative and a valuation adjustment for indirect tax credits were $5.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share.1

Revenues for the year ended August 31, 2020, were $474.7 million, an increase of $30.6 million, or 7 percent, compared to revenues of $444.1 millionin the prior year. Net earnings for the year were $38.6 million, or $3.56 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $2.2 million, or $0.20 per dilutedshare, in the prior year. Net earnings for the prior year adjusted to eliminate costs associated with the Foundation for Growth initiative and a valuationadjustment for indirect tax credits were $15.6 million, or $1.45 per diluted share.1

“We were pleased to see fourth quarter revenue growth in both our Irrigation and Infrastructure segments, highlighted by the successful executionof our large Road Zipper® project with Highways England in the U.K.,” said Tim Hassinger, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am proud of theLindsay team for achieving our 2020 operating margin goal, especially given the additional market challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic. Weachieved another key objective related to culture, measured through an organizational health assessment conducted by a major consulting firm.”

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Irrigation segment revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $75.6 million, an increase of $6.1 million, or 9 percent, compared to $69.5 millionin the prior year fourth quarter. North America irrigation revenues of $39.8 million decreased $1.8 million, or 4 percent, compared to the prior year. Thedecrease resulted primarily from lower engineering services revenue related to a project in the prior year that did not repeat. An increase in irrigationequipment unit volume and higher sales of replacement parts was offset by the impact of lower average selling prices. International irrigation revenues of$35.8 million increased $7.8 million, or 28 percent. The increase resulted primarily from higher sales volumes in Brazil, Australia and the Middle East whichwere partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.4 million compared to the prior year.

Irrigation segment operating margin was 7.7 percent of sales in the fourth quarter, compared to 5.0 percent of sales (9.0 percent adjusted)1 in theprior year fourth quarter. Operating margin in the current year fourth quarter was negatively impacted by expense of approximately $1.6 million, related toan increase in the environmental remediation liability and severance costs. 1 Please see Reg G reconciliation of GAAP operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to adjusted figures at end of document.

Infrastructure segment revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $52.8 million, an increase of $20.4 million, or 63 percent, compared to$32.4 million in the prior year. The increase resulted from higher Road Zipper System® sales compared to the prior year, including the large project withHighways England in the U.K.

Infrastructure segment operating margin was 38.0 percent of sales in the fourth quarter, compared to 28.8 percent of sales in the prior year fourthquarter. Operating margin improvement resulted primarily from increased sales in higher margin product lines and from improved cost and pricingperformance.

The backlog of unfilled orders at August 31, 2020 was $58.7 million compared with $55.4 million at August 31, 2019. Included in these backlogs areamounts of $6.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, that are not expected to be fulfilled within the subsequent twelve months.

Outlook

“The recent increase in agricultural commodity prices along with additional government support payments to farmers under the expandedCoronavirus Food Assistance Program have raised estimates for U.S. farm income,” said Mr. Hassinger. “This supports an improved outlook for NorthAmerica irrigation equipment demand for the fall selling season. We expect growth in international irrigation led by continued momentum in Brazil andother markets as well as new agricultural development being driven by heightened food security concerns as a result of the global coronaviruspandemic.”

Mr. Hassinger added, “Our infrastructure business achieved a record year in fiscal 2020, in large part due to our success in implementing the “shiftleft” strategy to expand our addressable market for Road Zipper® systems. We continue to be encouraged by the execution of this strategy, which hasresulted in a higher quality sales funnel.”

LINDSAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESRECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

The non-GAAP tables below disclose (a) the impact on diluted earnings per share of (1) consulting fees, severance costs and loss from businessdivestitures, associated with the Company’s Foundation for Growth Initiative (“FFG costs”), and (2) a valuation adjustment for indirect tax credits in aforeign jurisdiction (“valuation adjustment”), (b) the impact on operating income of FFG costs and the valuation adjustment, and (c) the impact onsegment operating income of FFG costs and the valuation adjustment. Management believes adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per shareand adjusted operating income are important indicators of the Company’s business performance because they exclude items that may not be indicativeof, or may be unrelated to, the Company’s underlying operating results, and provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in the business. Non-GAAPmeasures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings, diluted earnings per share andoperating income. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAPresults and the following reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, management believes provides a more complete understandingof the Company’s business.
