as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the &quot;financial statements&quot;). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:10pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Basis for Opinion</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:10pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan&#8217;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan&#39;s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;min-height:10.0pt;margin:10pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Report on Supplemental Schedule</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-weight:bold;visibility:hidden;background:#ffff00;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2023 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&#39;s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#39;s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in compliance with the Department of Labor&#39;s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New

Industries, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Plan Sponsor&#8221;) Valmont Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan&#8217;s provisions.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">General</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Plan constitutes a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (&#8220;IRC&#8221;) of 1986 covering regular employees, as defined in the Plan document, on the first day of the month following the date of hire. The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company oversees the operation and administration of the Plan. Fidelity Investments (&#8220;Fidelity&#8221;) serves as the trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#8220;ERISA&#8221;).</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Contributions</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Participants may contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax and Roth basis up to 75% of their annual eligible compensation (as defined by the Plan), subject to certain IRC limitations. Prior to October 16, 2023, participants could contribute up to 60% of their annual eligible compensation. Eligible employees who do not make an affirmative deferral election are deemed to have made a pre-tax deferral election of 6% of eligible compensation. Participants may modify contributions at any time to elect an alternative deferral amount or elect not to defer into the Plan. Participants may also make rollover contributions representing distributions from a previous employer&#8217;s qualified plan or an Individual Retirement Account (&#8220;IRA&#8221;). </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Company makes matching contributions to the Plan of 75% of the first 6% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan, unless a participant is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, in which case the terms of the collective bargaining agreement will apply.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Participant Accounts</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Each participant&#8217;s account is credited with the participant&#8217;s contributions and any associated Company contributions. The participant&#8217;s account is also credited with an allocation of Plan earnings or losses corresponding to the participant&#8217;s investment elections and is charged certain administrative expenses. Allocations of Plan earnings and losses are based on participant account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant&#8217;s vested account.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Investments</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee and employer contributions in 1% increments into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers common collective trusts (including a stable value fund), mutual funds, and Valmont Industries, Inc. common stock as investment options for participants. Allocation percentage and investments can be changed by the participant daily, subject to individual fund restrictions and the Company&#8217;s Insider Trading Policy. Investments in Valmont Industries, Inc. common stock are limited to 25% of a participant&#8217;s account balance. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Vesting</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Participants&#8217; contributions and the related investment earnings are immediately vested.

All loans bear a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Plan Administrator and remain fixed throughout the duration of the loan. A participant may only have one outstanding loan at a time.

Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.

The fair value of a financial instrument 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. Shares of mutual funds managed by registered investment companies are valued at quoted net asset values. Common collective trusts are valued at the proportionate share of gains and losses and income reported by underlying pooled assets primarily comprised of open-ended mutual funds. The Company&#8217;s common stock is valued at its quoted market price. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation in fair value of investments are based upon the beginning of year market values or, if acquired during the year, cost.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Galliard Stable Return Fund Q is a bank common collective trust fund that invests in underlying fully-benefit responsive investment contracts and is valued at the fair market value of the underlying investments.

That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Level 1</i>: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Level 2</i>: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 36pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Level 3</i>: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Common Stock</i>: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Mutual Funds</i>: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;).

The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.</p></div><div style="clear:both;display:table;margin-bottom:13.7pt;min-height:40.3pt;width:100%;"><div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">7</p></div></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:8.82%;margin-right:8.82%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:82.35%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:8.82%;padding-right:8.82%;position:relative;"><div style="margin-top:13.7pt;min-height:40.3pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 30pt 0pt;"><a href="#TOC"><font style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Table of Contents</font></a></p></div><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Stable Value Fund</i>: Composed primarily of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and reported at fair value using net asset value (&#8220;NAV&#8221;) as a practical expedient. The stable value fund calculates NAV per share in a manner consistent with the measurement principles in FASB ASC 946, <i style="font-style:italic;">Financial Services&#8212;Investment Companies</i>. Those measurement principles indicate that, in the determination of a stable value fund&#8217;s NAV, the relevant measurement is net assets which include the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held by the fund at contract value. This NAV represents the Plan&#8217;s fair value since this is the NAV at which the Plan transacts with the fund. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported net asset value. Participant transactions may occur daily and there is no redemption notice period for the individual participant&#8217;s unfunded commitments, redemption restrictions, or notice period requirements. If the Plan initiates a full redemption of the fund, the issuer reserves the right to require 12 months&#8217; notification in order to confirm that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Common Collective Trusts</i>: Valued at the NAV of shares held by the Plan at year-end based upon the quoted market prices of the underlying pooled assets primarily consisting of open-end mutual funds registered with the SEC.

Accordingly, the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt, and no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan&#8217;s financial statements.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 24pt 0pt;">U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2019.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New
