Good day and welcome to the Lindsey Corporation fiscal first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to turn the conference over to Randy Wood, President and CEO. Please go ahead.
Thank you and good morning everyone. Welcome to our fiscal 2026 1st quarter earnings call. With me today is SAM Hendrickson, our Chief Financial Officer.
Once again, I'm very proud of our team's execution in the quarter despite external headwinds impacting our business.
While ongoing trade uncertainty, low commodity prices, and high input costs have negatively impacted customer profitability and sentiment, our teams focus on price and cost management and operational efficiencies gained through our diversified global footprint, helped us deliver solid profitability and maintain earnings quality in the quarter.
In our domestic US irrigation business, customers continue to delay large capital purchases due to high input costs and low profitability.
