 Apr. 7, 2022 Source: Valmont Industries news release OMAHA, Neb.--Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a leading global provider of engineered products and services for infrastructure development and irrigation equipment and services for agriculture, today announced a new segment reporting structure that reflects realignment of internal management and reporting. Effective for the first quarter 2022 reporting period, Valmont is realigning its previous four reporting segments to report results in two segments: *Infrastructure includes the previous segments of Utility Support Structures, Engineered Support Structures, and Coatings *Agriculture is a renaming of the previous Irrigation segment "We are experiencing a transformative time in Valmont's history and as part of this journey, our goal is to institute a culture of positive change that will foster collaboration, encourage enterprise-wide innovation, and leverage technology to advance our productivity," said Stephen G. Kaniewski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With this new alignment that reflects how I manage the business, Valmont remains committed to our tagline: Conserving Resources. Improving Life. This organizational structure allows us to elevate our focus on capital allocation, technology development, and market growth strategies across the leadership teams. Additionally, by simplifying our company structure we can more effectively articulate our strategy and purpose as a company across our key stakeholder groups, including employees, investors, and customers." Kaniewski continued, "With an increasing convergence of key market drivers, the Infrastructure realignment allows us to better collaborate across product lines, generating greater customer focus as we create innovative smart infrastructure across the portfolio to bring to the market. I believe this will enable us to maximize profitability for the larger segment as we execute our strategies more efficiently across multiple product lines. "Agriculture is a more subtle shift, recognizing our growing focus on more than just irrigation as we begin to expand our technology solutions globally beyond only irrigated acres." Within the Infrastructure segment, the Company will report revenue for five product lines: *Transmission, *Distribution and Substation, *Renewable Energy, *Lighting and Transportation, *Telecommunication, and *Coatings. The Agriculture segment will continue reporting product line revenue for North America Irrigation and International Irrigation and will begin reporting Agricultural Technology revenue. In parallel with the segment realignment, we are centralizing operations of our manufacturing footprint on a global basis across both segments to focus on improving productivity, increasing output, and driving efficient capital allocation. The company will file a current report on Form 8-K on or about April 6, 2022 with a recast of comparable prior year segment financial information for 2020 and 2021 affected by the change, along with a summary presentation on the Investors page at valmont.com.
