• Year-over-Year Decline in Performance

  Despite beating estimates, Q3 FY2026 revenue decreased 5% and net earnings decreased 19% compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower irrigation segment revenues and gross margins.

• Liquidity Position Update

  Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $154.8 million at May 31, 2026, from $250.6 million at August 31, 2025, partly due to share repurchases and capital expenditures.
