Lindsay Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements contained in Lindsay
Corporations (the Company) annual Form 10-K filing. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the
financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected by
the Company for a full year.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements describe various elements of the
financial statements and the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions applied by management.
While actual results could differ from those estimated by management in the preparation of the
condensed consolidated financial statements, management believes that the accounting policies,
assumptions, and estimates applied promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability,
neutrality, and transparency of the accounting information included in the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
On November 3, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of WMC Technology
Limited based in Feilding, New Zealand. The assets acquired primarily relate to technology that
has enhanced the Companys irrigation product offerings. Total consideration paid was $1.3 million
which was financed with cash on hand. The total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired based on fair value assessments. The resulting goodwill and
intangible assets have been accounted for under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair
value assigned to the assets was finalized in the second quarter of the Companys 2011 fiscal year.
(2) Net Earnings per Share
Basic net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options and
restricted stock units to the extent they are not anti-dilutive. Performance stock units are
excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the threshold performance
conditions have been satisfied. At May 31, 2011, the threshold performance conditions for the
Companys outstanding performance stock units that were granted on November 3, 2008, November 12,
2009 and November 1, 2010 had not been satisfied, resulting in the exclusion of 98,625 performance
stock units from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share.
Employee stock options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company
are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted net earnings per share. The
Companys diluted common shares outstanding reported in each period include the dilutive effect of
restricted stock units, in-the-money options, and performance stock units for which threshold
performance conditions have been satisfied and is calculated based on the average share price for
each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the
employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service
that the Company has not yet recognized on share based awards, and the amount of excess tax
benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when shares are issued and assumed to
be used to repurchase shares.
There were no restricted stock units excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per
share for the three months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were 2,750 and 635
restricted stock units excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share for the nine
months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, since their inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive.

(3) Comprehensive Income
The accumulated other comprehensive income, net, shown in the Companys consolidated balance sheets
includes the unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges, changes in the transition obligation and
net actuarial losses from the defined benefit pension plan, and the accumulated foreign currency
translation adjustment, net of hedging activities. The following table shows the difference
between the Companys reported net earnings and its comprehensive income:

Net of tax expense of $215 and $394 for the three months and nine months ended
May 31, 2011, respectively. Net of tax expense of $523 and $1,016 for the three months and nine
months ended May 31, 2010, respectively. |
(4) Income Taxes
It is the Companys policy to report income tax expense for interim periods using an estimated
annual effective income tax rate. However, the tax effects of significant or unusual items are not
considered in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The tax effects of such discrete events are
recognized in the interim period in which the events occur.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.9 million and $15.8 million for the three and
nine months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.4
million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010, respectively. The
estimated effective tax rate used to calculate income tax expense before discrete items was 34.2%
and 35.4% for the periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the effective
tax rate from May 2010 to May 2011 primarily relates to an increase in the manufacturing deduction
under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
For the three months ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a discrete benefit of $0.1
million resulting from recording actual income tax expense that was lower than the estimated year
end income tax provision. For the nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a discrete
benefit of $0.2 million related to uncertain tax positions and from recording actual income tax
expense that was lower than the estimated year end income tax provision.
For the three months ended May 31, 2010, the Company recorded discrete items that had a
minimal impact on income tax expense. These included an expense of $0.3 million related to a
change in estimate used in calculating a certain tax credit and a benefit of $0.3 million that
related to an immaterial adjustment for tax expense that had been incorrectly recorded in prior
periods.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, the Company recorded discrete items that reduced
income tax expense. The discrete items included a benefit of $1.1 million related to Nebraska
Advantage Act Credits, a benefit of $0.3 million for an immaterial correction of previously
recorded tax expense and a benefit of $0.4 million for the reversal of previously recorded
liabilities for uncertain tax positions relating to taxation of certain of the Companys
international subsidiaries. This reversal was recorded due to the expiration of the statute of
limitations in the applicable tax jurisdictions without any actual tax liability being assessed.
These benefits were offset by additional expense of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 relating to a tax ruling impacting the Companys French subsidiary.
(5) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for the Companys Lindsay, Nebraska inventory and two warehouses in Idaho
and Texas. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventory at the
Companys Omaha, Nebraska location, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Barrier Systems,
Inc. (BSI) and Watertronics, LLC, China and other non-U.S. warehouse locations. Cost is
determined by the weighted average cost method for inventory at the Companys other operating
locations in Washington State, France, Brazil, Italy and South Africa. At all locations, the
Company reserves for obsolete, slow moving, and excess inventory by estimating the net realizable
value based on the potential future use of such inventory.

(7) Credit Arrangements
Euro Line of Credit
The Companys wholly-owned European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving
line of credit with Societe Generale, a European commercial bank, under which it could borrow up to
2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately $3.3 million as of May 31, 2011, for working
capital purposes (the Euro Line of Credit). At May 31, 2011 and 2010, there was $1.3 million and
$0.3 million outstanding on the Euro Line of Credit, respectively. At August 31, 2010, there were
no borrowings outstanding under the Euro Line of Credit. Under the terms of the Euro Line of
Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a floating rate in effect from time to time designated
by the commercial bank as the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 110 basis points (all inclusive,
2.53% at May 31, 2011). Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 31, 2012, which is the
termination date of the Euro Line of Credit.
BSI Term Note
The Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, effective
June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the BSI Term Note) to partially finance the
acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus
50 basis points. The Company has fixed the rate at 6.05% through an interest rate swap as
described in Note 8, Financial Derivatives. Principal is repaid quarterly in equal payments of
$1.1 million over a seven-year period that began in September of 2006. The BSI Term Note is due
June 10, 2013.
Snoline Term Note
The Companys wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, Snoline S.P.A. (Snoline) had an unsecured
$13.2 million seven-year Term Note and Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that was
effective on December 27, 2006 (the Snoline Term Note). On May 17, 2010, the Company repaid the
$7.1 million outstanding balance on the Snoline Term Note in its entirety.
Revolving Credit Agreement
The Company has an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Credit Agreement with
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Company entered into the Second
Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, effective January 23, 2011 in order to extend the
Revolving Credit Agreements termination date from January 23, 2012 to January 23, 2014. The
Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement. The borrowings from the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement will primarily be used for
working capital purposes and funding acquisitions. At May 31, 2011 and 2010 and August 31, 2010,
there was no outstanding balance on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR
plus 105 basis points, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement. Interest is paid on a monthly to quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company
also pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement. Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 23, 2014.
The BSI Term Note and the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (collectively, the Notes) each
contain the same covenants, including certain covenants relating to the Companys financial
condition. These include maintaining a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio,
a current ratio and a tangible net worth requirement (all as defined in the Notes) at specified
levels. Upon the occurrence of any event of default of these covenants specified in the Notes,
including a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Notes), all amounts due thereunder
may be declared to be immediately due and payable. At May 31, 2011 and 2010 and August 31, 2010,
the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Outstanding long-term debt consists of the following:

(8) Financial Derivatives
The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest
rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge
exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for
speculative purposes. Each derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net
investment, or remains undesignated. The Company records the fair value of these derivative
instruments on the balance sheet. For those instruments that are designated as a cash flow hedge
and meet certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment,
changes in the fair value for the effective portion are reported in other comprehensive income
(OCI), net of related income tax effects, and are reclassified to the income statement when the
effects of the item being hedged are recognized in the income statement. Changes in fair value of
derivative instruments that qualify as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations are
recorded as a component of accumulated currency translation adjustment in accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI), net of related income tax effects. Changes in the fair value of
undesignated hedges are recognized currently in the income statement as other income (expense).
All changes in derivative fair values due to ineffectiveness are recognized currently in income.
The Company attempts to manage market and credit risks associated with its derivative
instruments by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be
undertaken, and by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. As of May 31, 2011,
the Companys derivative counterparty had investment grade credit ratings.

In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income included gains, net of related income tax
effects, of $0.4 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million at May 31, 2011 and 2010, and August 31,
2010, respectively, related to derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments.
Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
In order to reduce interest rate risk on the BSI Term Note, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designed to convert the variable
interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05% per annum. Under the
terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes
fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the BSI Term Note,
thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt (see Note 7, Credit Arrangements). Changes in
the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset
the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are
reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects.
Similarly, the Company entered into a cross currency swap transaction with Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. fixing the conversion rate of Euro to U.S. dollars for the Snoline Term Note at 1.3195 and
obligating the Company to make quarterly payments of 0.4 million Euros per quarter over the same
seven-year period as the Snoline Term Note and to receive payments of $0.5 million per quarter. In
addition, the variable interest rate was converted to a fixed rate of 4.7%. This was approximately
equivalent to converting the $13.2 million seven-year Snoline Term Note into a 10.0 million Euro
seven-year term note at a fixed rate of 4.7%. Under the terms of the cross currency swap, the
Company received variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments, thereby
creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt (see Note 7, Credit Arrangements). Changes in the fair
value of the cross currency swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the
hedged risks were reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects. On May 17, 2010, in
conjunction with repaying the Snoline Term Note, the Company exited the cross currency swap
transaction with a zero fair value.
In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the
Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency for certain of its operations. This activity
primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory,
sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and liabilities.
Changes in the fair value of the forward exchange contracts or option contracts designated as
hedging instruments that effectively offset the hedged risks are reported in AOCI, net of related
income tax effects. The Company had forward exchange contracts and option contracts with cash flow
hedging relationships totaling less than $0.1 million included in
other current liabilities at May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010. The Company had no forward exchange
contracts or option contracts with cash flow hedging relationships outstanding at May 31, 2010.

Net Investment Hedging Relationships
In order to reduce translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of
its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the Company, at times, utilizes Euro foreign
currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its Euro net investment exposure in its foreign
operations. These foreign currency forward contracts qualify as a hedge of net investments in
foreign operations. Changes in fair value of the net investment hedge contracts are reported in
OCI as part of the currency translation adjustment, net of tax.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company settled a Euro foreign currency forward
contract resulting in after-tax net losses of $0.3 million. During the first quarter of fiscal
2011, the Company settled a Euro foreign currency forward contract resulting in after-tax net
losses of $0.4 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into and
settled a Euro foreign currency forward contract resulting in an after-tax net gain of $0.4
million. The net after-tax losses from these settlements were included in OCI as part of a currency
translation adjustment.
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no amounts recorded in
the consolidated statement of operations related to ineffectiveness of Euro foreign currency
forward contracts. Accumulated currency translation adjustment in AOCI at May 31, 2011 and 2010
and August 31, 2010 reflected after-tax realized gains of $0.8 million, $1.7 million and $1.6
million, net of related income tax effects of $0.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million,
respectively, related to settled foreign currency forward contracts.
At May 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts to sell
5.0 million Euro on July 11, 2011 at a fixed price of $1.4222 per Euro and to sell 5.0 million Euro
on August 10, 2011 at a fixed price of $1.4294 per Euro. The forward spot rate at May 31, 2011 was
1.4360 for the outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts. At May 31, 2010, the Company
had one outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contract to sell 5.0 million Euro on August 25,
2010 at a fixed price of $1.2505 per Euro. The Companys foreign currency forward contracts
qualified as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the
Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency for certain of the Companys operations. This
activity primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing
inventory, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and
liabilities. The Company may choose whether or not to designate these contracts as hedges. For
those contracts not designated, changes in fair value are recognized currently in the income
statement. At May 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no undesignated hedges outstanding.

(9) Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency
of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refers
broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability,
including assumptions about risk. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and
liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three
categories:
|
|
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation techniques are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 inputs to the valuation techniques are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities,
either directly or indirectly |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 inputs to the valuation techniques are unobservable for the assets or liabilities |
The following table presents the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as
of May 31, 2011:

The carrying amount of long-term debt (including current portion) was $9.6 million, $13.9 million
and $12.9 million as of May 31, 2011 and 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of
this debt was estimated at $9.5 million, $13.5 million, and $12.6 million as of May 31, 2011 and
2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively. Fair value of long-term debt (including current portion)
is estimated by discounting the future estimated cash flows of each instrument at current market
interest rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities and credit quality.
The Company also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally
quarterly, annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include fixed assets, goodwill, and other
intangible assets. There were no required fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2011 or
2010.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
In 1992, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the
United States Government (the EPA) in which the Company committed to remediate environmental
contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its
Lindsay, Nebraska facility (the site). The site was added to the EPAs list of priority
superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by
the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at
the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. The current
remediation process consists of drilling wells into the aquifer and pumping water to the surface to
allow these contaminants to be removed by aeration. In 2008, the Company and the EPA conducted a
periodic five-year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site. In
response to the review, the Company and its environmental consultants developed a remedial action
work plan, under which the Company continues to work with the EPA to define and implement steps to
better contain and remediate the remaining contamination. The Company accrues the anticipated cost
of remediation where the obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the three
and nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company accrued incremental costs of $0.5 and $1.2 million,
respectively, for additional environmental monitoring and remediation in connection with the
current ongoing remedial action work plan. Amounts accrued in balance sheet liabilities related to
the remediation actions were $1.5 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million at May 31, 2011 and 2010
and August 31, 2010, respectively. Although the Company has accrued all reasonably estimable costs
of completing the actions defined in the current ongoing work plan agreed to between the Company
and the EPA, it is possible that additional testing and additional environmental monitoring and
remediation will be required in the near future as part of the Companys ongoing discussions with
the EPA regarding the development and implementation of the remedial action work plan, which could
result in the recognition of additional related expenses. While these additional expenses could
significantly exceed the current accrued amount and could be material to the operating results of
any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the Company does not expect that such additional expenses would
have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or financial condition of the Company.
(11) Retirement Plan
The Company has a supplemental non-qualified, unfunded retirement plan for six former employees.
Plan benefits are based on the participants average total compensation during the three highest
compensation years of employment during the ten years immediately preceding the participants
retirement or termination. This unfunded supplemental retirement plan is not subject to the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on four
of the participants named in this supplemental retirement plan to provide partial funding for this
liability. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the Companys supplemental retirement plan

ITEM 2 |
|
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements that are not historical are
forward-looking and reflect expectations for future Company conditions or performance. In
addition, forward-looking statements may be made orally or in press releases, conferences, reports,
on the Companys worldwide web site, or otherwise, in the future by or on behalf of the Company.
When used by or on behalf of the Company, the words expect, anticipate, estimate, believe,
intend, will, and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. The
entire section entitled Market Conditions and Fiscal 2011 Outlook should be considered
forward-looking statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe
harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to those discussed in the Risk Factors section in the Companys annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010. Readers should not place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future
results or conditions, which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results or conditions could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical
results, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not now
anticipated. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not exclusive and further
information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that potentially could
materially affect the Companys financial results, may emerge from time to time. Except as
required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.
Accounting Policies
In preparing the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, management must make a variety of decisions which impact
the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These decisions include the selection of the
appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting
estimates. In making these decisions, management applies its judgment based on its understanding
and analysis of the relevant circumstances and the Companys historical experience.
The Companys accounting policies that are most important to the presentation of its results
of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and
estimates by management, are designated as its critical accounting policies. See further
discussion of the Companys critical accounting policies under Item 7 Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the Companys year ended August 31, 2010. Management periodically re-evaluates and
adjusts its critical accounting policies as circumstances change. There were no changes in the
Companys critical accounting policies during the nine months ended May 31, 2011.

Revenues
Operating revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2011 increased by $53.4 million to $153.4
million compared with $100.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010. The increase is
attributable to a $46.6 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $6.8 million
increase in infrastructure revenues.
U.S. irrigation equipment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2011 of $76.7 million
increased 60% compared to the same period last year. The increase in U.S. irrigation equipment
revenues is primarily due to an increase in the number of irrigation systems sold compared to the
prior years third fiscal quarter. Favorable economic conditions in the U.S. agriculture markets
continued to fuel strong demand for irrigation equipment. At the end of the third fiscal quarter
of 2011, agricultural commodity prices remained comparatively high with corn increasing 111%,
soybeans increasing 47% and wheat up over 79% compared to the same time last year. The February
2011 update for USDA projections of 2011 Net Farm Income project it to be the highest on record and
shows a 20% increase over 2010. Order flow continued to be robust throughout the peak irrigation
selling season, which has now concluded. International irrigation equipment revenues for the three
months ended May 31, 2011 increased 55% from $32.3 million compared to the same prior year period.
Operating revenues increased in nearly all international markets, most notably in China, Europe and
Brazil.
Infrastructure products segment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2011 of $26.5
million increased 35% from the same prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven by
higher Quickchange Moveable Barrier® (QMB®) sales and increased sales in
the railroad signals and structures and commercial tubing businesses.
- 20 -
Gross Margin
Gross profit was $41.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011. This was an increase of
$16.2 million compared to the three months ended May 31, 2010. Gross margin was 27.0% for the
three months ended May 31, 2011 compared to 25.2% for the same prior year period. During the
fiscal third quarter, overall gross margins improved on higher international irrigation margins and
on improved margins in diversified manufacturing which includes railroad signals and structures,
commercial tubing and contract manufacturing.
Operating Expenses
The Companys operating expenses of $18.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011 were $3.2
million higher than the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses included higher
personnel costs, an incremental increase in operating expenses related to the Digitec and WMC
businesses acquired during the past year and additional expenses for environmental monitoring and
remediation as part of ongoing development and implementation of the EPA work plan at the Lindsay,
Nebraska facility. Operating expenses were 12.0% of sales for the three months ended May 31, 2011
compared to 15.2% of sales for the three months ended May 31, 2010.
Interest, Other Income (Expense), net
Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2011 decreased by $0.3 million compared to the
same prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to principal reductions
on the Companys outstanding term debt.
Interest income and other income (expense), net for the three months ended May 31, 2011 were
essentially flat compared to the same prior year period.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.9 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended
May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The calculated effective tax rate was 34.0% and 35.2% for the
three months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
For the three months ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a discrete benefit of $0.1
million resulting from recording actual income tax expense that was lower than the estimated year
end income tax provision.
For the three months ended May 31, 2010, the Company recorded discrete items that had a
minimal impact on income tax expense. These included an expense of $0.3 million related to a
change in estimate used in calculating a certain tax credit and a benefit of $0.3 million that
related to an immaterial adjustment for tax expense that had been incorrectly recorded in prior
periods.
Net Earnings
Net earnings were $15.3 million or $1.20 per diluted share for the three months ended May 31, 2011
compared with $6.2 million or $0.50 per diluted share for the same prior year period.

Revenues
Operating revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 increased by $91.5 million to $362.8
million compared with $271.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. The increase is
attributable to a $77.1 million increase in irrigation equipment revenues and a $14.5 million
increase in infrastructure segment revenues.
U.S. irrigation equipment revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 of $179.8 million
increased $60.9 million compared to the same period last year. Management believes that the
combination of factors described above in the discussion of the three months ended May 31, 2011
also contributed to the increase in U.S. irrigation equipment revenues for the nine-month period.
International irrigation equipment revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 increased $16.2
million compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2010. Operating revenues increased in nearly all
international markets, most notably in China, Europe and Brazil.
Infrastructure products segment revenue of $84.2 million for the nine months ended May 31,
2011 increased 21% over the same prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven primarily
by higher QMB® revenue. The Company also realized increased revenues from its railroad
signals and structures, commercial tubing and contract manufacturing businesses.
- 22 -
Gross Margin
Gross profit for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 was $99.7 million, an increase of $26.5 million
compared to the same prior year period. Gross margin percentage for the nine months ended May 31,
2011 increased to 27.5% from the 27.0% achieved during the same prior year period. Infrastructure
margins increased primarily due to increased revenues of higher margin QMB® product.
Irrigation gross margins were essentially flat compared to the same prior year period.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 increased by $7.9 million to $52.9
million compared to the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses included higher
personnel costs, an incremental increase in operating expenses related to the Digitec and WMC
businesses acquired during the past year, higher research and development expenses and increased
sales commission for QMB® projects. Operating expenses were 14.6% of sales for the nine
months ended May 31, 2011 compared to 16.6% of sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2010.
Interest, Other Income (Expense), net
Interest expense during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 of $0.6 million decreased $0.7 million
from the $1.3 million recognized during the same prior year period for fiscal 2010. The decrease
in interest expense is primarily due to principal reductions on the Companys outstanding term
notes.
Interest income of $0.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 was essentially flat
compared to the same prior year period.
Other income (expense), net during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 of $0.4 million
increased by $0.3 million compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2010. The increase in other
income (expense), net is primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $15.8 million and $8.2 million for the nine months ended
May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate used to calculate income tax expense
before discrete items was 34.2% and 35.4% for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from May 2010 to May 2011 primarily relates to
an increase in the manufacturing deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a discrete benefit of $0.2
million related to uncertain tax positions and from recording actual income tax expense that was
lower than the estimated year end income tax provision. For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, the
Company recorded three discrete items that reduced income tax expense. The first item was a
benefit of $1.1 million related to the Nebraska Advantage Act Credits. The next item related to
the reversal of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relating to taxation of
the Companys international subsidiaries. This reversal was recorded due to the expiration of the
statute of limitations in the respective tax jurisdictions without any actual tax liability being
assessed. The benefit recorded was $0.4 million. Lastly, the Company recorded a discrete item
resulting in $0.4 million of additional tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 related to
a tax ruling impacting the Companys French subsidiary.
Net Earnings
Net earnings were $30.9 million or $2.44 per diluted share for the nine months ended May 31, 2011
compared with $18.9 million or $1.50 per diluted share for the same prior year period.
- 23 -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company requires cash for financing its receivables and inventories, paying operating costs and
capital expenditures, and for dividends. The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its
capital expenditures from its available cash and funds provided by operations along with borrowings
under three credit arrangements that are described below. The Company believes that these resources
are sufficient to meet its reasonably foreseeable cash requirements.
The Companys cash and cash equivalents totaled $100.6 million at May 31, 2011 compared with
$83.5 million at May 31, 2010 and $83.4 million at August 31, 2010.
Cash flows provided by operations totaled $28.3 million during the nine months ended May 31,
2011 compared to $14.8 million provided by operations during the same prior year period. Cash
provided by operations increased $13.5 million primarily due to a $12.0 million increase in net
earnings and a $0.9 million decrease in cash used for working capital items.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $7.8 million during the nine months ended May
31, 2011 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $3.0 million during the same prior
year period. The increase in the cash used was primarily due to higher purchases of property,
plant and equipment, the acquisition of the assets of WMC Technology Limited in November 2010 and
the settlement of net investment hedges.
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $3.9 million during the nine months ended May
31, 2011 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $13.4 million during the same prior
year period. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a decrease of
$8.5 million of principal payments on long-term debt, a $0.7 million increase in excess tax
benefits from stock-based compensation and an increase in net borrowings on the revolving lines of
credit of $0.9 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in cash proceeds from the issuance
of common stock under stock compensation plans and an increase in cash dividends paid to investors
of $0.2 million.
The Company has an unsecured $30.0 million Revolving Credit Note and Credit Agreement, as
amended on January 23, 2011, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement)
which has a termination date of January 23, 2014. As of May 31, 2011 and 2010 and August 31, 2010,
there were no outstanding balances on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR
plus 105 basis points, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement. Interest is paid on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on loan type. The Company
also pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement. Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 23, 2014.
The Companys wholly-owned European subsidiary, Lindsay Europe, has an unsecured revolving
line of credit with Societe Generale, a European commercial bank, under which it could borrow up to
2.3 million Euros, which equates to approximately $3.3 million as of May 31, 2011, for working
capital purposes (the Euro Line of Credit). At May 31, 2011 and 2010, there was $1.3 million and
$0.3 million outstanding on the Euro Line of Credit, respectively. At August 31, 2010, there were
no borrowings outstanding under the Euro Line of Credit. Under the terms of the Euro Line of
Credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a floating rate in effect from time to time designated
by the commercial bank as the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 110 basis points (all inclusive,
2.53% at May 31, 2011). Unpaid principal and interest is due by January 31, 2012, which is the
termination date of the Euro Line of Credit.
The Company entered into an unsecured $30.0 million Term Note and Credit Agreement, each
effective as of June 1, 2006, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the BSI Term Note) to
partially finance the acquisition of BSI. Borrowings under the BSI Term Note bear interest at a
rate equal to LIBOR plus 50 basis points. However, this variable interest rate has been converted
to a fixed rate of 6.05% through an interest rate swap agreement with the lender. Principal is
repaid quarterly in equal payments of $1.1 million over a seven-year period that commenced in
September, 2006. The BSI Term Note is due June 10, 2013.
The BSI Term Note and the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (collectively, the Notes) each
contain the same covenants, including certain covenants relating to Lindsays financial condition.
These include maintaining a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a current
ratio and a tangible net worth requirement (all as defined in the Notes) at specified levels. Upon
the occurrence of any event of default of these covenants specified in the Notes, including a
change in control of the Company (as defined in the Notes), all amounts due under the Notes may be
declared to be immediately due and payable. At May 31, 2011 and 2010 and August 31, 2010, the
Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There have been no material changes in the Companys contractual obligations and commercial
commitments as described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2010.

Market Conditions and Fiscal 2011 Outlook
Agricultural commodity prices at the end of the third fiscal quarter have increased compared to the
same time last year, with corn increasing 111%, soybeans increasing 47% and wheat up over 79%. The
February 2011 update for USDA projections of 2011 Net Farm Income indicates a 20% increase compared
to 2010 estimates, which puts the projected 2011 Net Farm Income as the highest on record. That,
coupled with the rise in commodity prices, has created positive economic conditions for U.S.
farmers. However, the current governmental debt environment will likely lead to additional
examination of subsidies and tax credits, such as the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit
for ethanol, which may result in changes impacting farmers future profit potential. In
addition, the significant rainfall in the eastern cornbelt delayed planting and some parts of the
cornbelt remain affected by flooding, all of which will likely impact yields and the profit
potential for farmers.
In the infrastructure segment the Company continues to experience global interest in its
QMB® systems which provide a cost effective method for managing traffic congestion by
safely adding lane capacity. While the outlook for general government funded infrastructure
spending remains challenging due to global governmental budget constraints and uncertainty on
timing of a multi-year U.S. highway bill, interest in the QMB® solution remains strong,
particularly with toll supported roads and bridges.
As of May 31, 2011, the Company had an order backlog of $43.3 million compared with $64.3
million at February 28, 2011 and $33.9 million at May 31, 2010. Backlog is higher in May 2011,
compared to last year, in both irrigation and infrastructure. The Companys backlog can fluctuate
from period to period due to the seasonality, cyclicality, timing and execution of contracts.
While the quarter end backlog reflects better than normal seasonal order levels, it was well below
the record backlog at the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2008. The Companys backlog at any
point in time usually represents only a portion of the revenue it expects to realize during the
following three month period.
In the long term, the global drivers of increasing food production, improving water-use
efficiency, expanding bio-fuel production, expanding interest in reducing environmental impacts and
improving transportation infrastructure, continue to be positive drivers of demand for the
Companys products. The Companys strong balance sheet has well-positioned the Company to invest
in growth initiatives both organically and through acquisitions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma
Information for Business Combinations, which requires a public entity presenting comparative
financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business
combination occurring during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable
prior annual reporting period. Additionally, the standard expands the supplemental pro forma
disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma
adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. The standard is effective prospectively for business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on
or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact the
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which requires the categorization
by level for items that are only required to be disclosed at fair value and information about
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. In addition, the ASU provides guidance on measuring the fair
value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and
discounts on fair value measurements. The ASU requires additional disclosure for Level 3
measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any
interrelationships between those inputs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact the
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which
amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, by requiring all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be
presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but
consecutive statements. The guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim
periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest
rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge
exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for
speculative purposes. The credit risk under these interest rate and foreign currency agreements is
not considered to be significant.
The Company has its primary manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Brazil,
Italy, South Africa and China. The Company has sold products throughout the world and purchases
certain of its components from third-party international suppliers. Export sales made from the
United States are principally U.S. dollar denominated. At times, export sales may be denominated
in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Companys revenue generated from
operations outside the United States is denominated in local currency. Accordingly, these sales
are not typically subject to significant foreign currency transaction risk. The Companys most
significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, the Brazilian real, the South
African rand and the Chinese renminbi in relation to the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of
foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect the Companys results of
operations.
In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the
Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency for certain operations of the Company. This
activity primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing
inventory, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and
liabilities. At May 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with cash
flow hedging relationships totaling less than $0.1 million included in other current liabilities.
In order to reduce translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of
its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the Company, at times, utilizes Euro foreign
currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its Euro net investment exposure in its foreign
operations. At May 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts
to sell 5.0 million Euro on July 11, 2011 at a fixed price of $1.4222 per Euro and to sell 5.0
million Euro on August 10, 2011 at a fixed price of $1.4294 per Euro. The forward spot rate at May
31, 2011 was 1.4360 for the outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts. The Companys
foreign currency forward contracts qualified as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations.
In order to reduce interest rate risk on the $30 million BSI Term Note, the Company has
entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designed to
convert the variable interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05%
per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate
payments and makes fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of
the BSI Term Note, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.
The Company attempts to manage market and credit risks associated with its derivative
instruments by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be
undertaken, and by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. As of May 31, 2011,
the Companys derivative counterparty had investment grade credit ratings.
|
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures |
The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and the participation of the Companys
management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer
(CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the
CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
May 31, 2011.
Additionally, the CEO and CFO determined that there has not been any change to the Companys
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Part II OTHER INFORMATION
|
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Company is involved, from time to time, in
commercial litigation, employment disputes, administrative proceedings, and other legal
proceedings. None of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a
material effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.
Environmental Matters
In 1992, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency of the
United States Government (the EPA) in which the Company committed to remediate environmental
contamination of the groundwater that was discovered in 1982 through 1990 at and adjacent to its
Lindsay, Nebraska facility (the site). The site was added to the EPAs list of priority
superfund sites in 1989. Between 1993 and 1995, remediation plans for the site were approved by
the EPA and fully implemented by the Company. Since 1998, the primary remaining contamination at
the site has been the presence of volatile organic chemicals in the groundwater. The current
remediation process consists of drilling wells into the aquifer and pumping water to the surface to
allow these contaminants to be removed by aeration. In 2008, the Company and the EPA conducted a
periodic five-year review of the status of the remediation of the contamination of the site. In
response to the review, the Company and its environmental consultants developed a remedial action
work plan, under which the Company continues to work with the EPA to define and implement steps to
better contain and remediate the remaining contamination. The Company accrues the anticipated cost
of remediation when the obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the three
and nine months ended May 31, 2011, the Company accrued incremental costs of $0.5 and $1.2 million,
respectively, for additional environmental monitoring and remediation in connection with the
current ongoing remedial action work plan. Amounts accrued in balance sheet liabilities related to
the remediation actions were $1.5 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million at May 31, 2011 and 2010
and August 31, 2010, respectively. Although the Company has accrued all reasonably estimable costs
of completing the actions defined in the current ongoing work plan agreed to between the Company
and the EPA, it is possible that additional testing and additional environmental monitoring and
remediation will be required in the near future as part of the Companys ongoing discussions with
the EPA regarding the development and implementation of the remedial action work plan, which could
result in the recognition of additional related expenses. While these additional expenses could
significantly exceed the current accrued amount and could be material to the operating results of
any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the Company does not expect that such additional expenses would
have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or financial condition of the Company.
Except for the addition of the risk factor listed below, there have been no material changes in our
risk factors as described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.
The Company is in the process of implementing a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system at
certain U.S. locations. Risks generally associated with implementation of an ERP system may
adversely affect the business, financial position, results of operations or the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company will be implementing a new ERP system at
certain U.S. locations to align the operating system with other locations, enhance operating
efficiencies and provide more effective management of business operations. Implementations of ERP
systems and related software carry risks such as cost overruns, project delays and business
interruptions and delays. If the Company experiences a material business interruption as a result
of the ERP implementation, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business,
financial position and results of operations. Additionally, if the Company does not effectively
implement the ERP system as planned or if the system does not operate as intended, it could
adversely affect the Companys financial reporting systems, the ability to produce financial
reports, or the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
The Company made no repurchases of its common stock under the Companys stock repurchase plan
during the quarter ended May 31, 2011; therefore, tabular disclosure is not presented. From time
to time, the Companys Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of the
Companys common stock. Under this share repurchase plan, the Company has existing authorization
to purchase, without further announcement, up to 881,139 shares of the Companys common stock in
the open market or otherwise.
