Solid demand for irrigation equipment continued across all geographies.
Irrigation revenues increased 50 percent in North America and 94 percent in international markets.
Infrastructure revenues declined slightly due to lower Road Zipper System® project sales.
First quarter net earnings were reduced by an after-tax LIFO impact of $4.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
Market conditions support continued solid demand for irrigation equipment, and the company expects raw material cost inflation and supply chain challenges to persist in the near term. An increase in infrastructure project activity is expected in the second half of the fiscal year.
