Current Market Factors Effect of global COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant decreases in commodity prices. 2020 Net Farm Income is projected by the USDA to be $96.7 billion, an increase of 3.3% from 2019. Increases in cash receipts for crops and livestock are partially offset by a decrease in gov’t support payments. Impacts from COVID-19 have not yet been factored into the USDA projections. Under the U.S.-China Phase 1 trade deal, China pledged to increase purchases of U.S. agricultural products by $32 billion over two years. This would be more than a 60% increase over the 2017 baseline cited in the deal, however it is uncertain that China will actually increase purchases to this level. Drop in ethanol demand puts additional downward pressure on corn prices. Food security an increased concern in certain international markets. Irrigation Infrastructure Our “shift left” strategy is gaining traction and contributing to an increase in Road Zipper System® lease revenue. Road Zipper System® gaining interest globally as a solution to traffic congestion and air quality. The five-year $305 billion U.S. highway bill enacted in December 2015 (the “FAST Act”) is scheduled to expire in September 2020 unless it is reauthorized by Congress. Congress and the Administration have put forth several infrastructure packages, but none have moved beyond their introduction. States continue the transition to new federal MASH testing standards for road safety products. Almost all of our road safety product offerings in the U.S. have now received MASH eligibility.

Regulation G Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures LINDSAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited) The non-GAAP tables below disclose (a) the impact on diluted earnings per share of consulting fees, severance costs and loss from business divestitures, associated with the Company's Foundation for Growth Initiative ("FFG costs"), (b) the impact on operating income of FFG costs, and (c) the impact on segment operating income of FFG costs. Management believes adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted operating income are important indicators of the Company’s business performance because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or may be unrelated to, the Company’s underlying operating results, and provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in the business. Non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings, diluted earnings per share and operating income. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the following reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, management believes provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s business.
