Valmont Industries reported first-quarter 2025 net sales of $969.314 million, a slight decrease of 0.9% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Despite the modest sales dip, diluted earnings per share remained stable at $4.32, consistent with the prior year period. The company generated strong operating cash flow of $65.1 million, a significant increase from $23.3 million in Q1 2024.
The Infrastructure segment's sales decreased 2.4% to $706.2 million, with growth in Utility and Telecommunications sales largely offset by a significant decline in Solar sales due to the strategic exit from certain low-margin projects. Operating income for Infrastructure was $117.2 million, or 16.7% of net sales. The Agriculture segment saw sales increase 3.3% to $267.3 million, driven by strong international growth in EMEA and Brazil, which offset lower North American sales.
Valmont reaffirmed its full-year 2025 financial outlook, projecting net sales between $4.0 billion and $4.2 billion and diluted earnings per share between $17.20 and $18.80. The company noted that its Q1 results included $3 million of costs from tariffs, equivalent to $0.11 per share, which it is actively mitigating through comprehensive plans.
