2Q 2020 Outlook and Assumptions BACKGROUND • Strong 1Q performance – were on track to reaffirm FY2020 outlook • Given market conditions due to COVID-19 and future market uncertainty, we withdrew full-year 2020 guidance • 2Q19 non-recurring items: $3M Coatings legal expense and $3M Utility customer accommodation expense 2Q20 OUTLOOK1 KEY ASSUMPTIONS • No additional closures of large facilities due to COVID-19 • Expect current site closures to resume operations in early May • Raw material prices remain stable to slightly deflationary and current supply chain reliability will continue $645M – $665M • Revenue expectations compared to 2019: Net Sales ‒ Irrigation: 5% - 10% decline ‒ Coatings: 20% - 25% decline • Expect positive operating cash flows – management teams highly focused on working capital management to minimize economic slowdown impacts • ~25% tax rate • Unfavorable currency translation on net sales of $10M – $12M 7.0% – 8.5% • Lower-end range of Operating Income Margin range driven by three factors: 1. International facilities impacted by COVID-19 closures would resume operations at a slower pace than expected, Operating Income Margin or market demand would be lower than expected once operations resume 2. Coatings volumes would decrease to levels lower than in prior recessions 3. Market conditions in Irrigation business would resemble the prior significant global economic downturn 1 Excludes potential future restructuring activities. 14 | June 2020 | Valmont Industries, Inc. | Investor Presentation

Key Observations Related to COVID-19 • Valmont products and solutions support critical infrastructure sectors as defined by the Department of Homeland 01 Security (CISA.gov) and similar global government agencies. – Communication: Wireless communication structures and components (ESS) – Energy: Utility transmission and distribution structures (Utility) – Food and Agriculture: Water and food production (Irrigation) – Coatings is an integral process step in the three sectors above, as well as other critical sectors as defined by CISA.gov 02• Operations may be affected by COVID-19 isolation measures. A substantial majority of our facilities are operational, and we expect normal production based on product mix, with some additional costs from administrative disruptions. Presently, certain facilities have temporarily ceased operations due to preemptive government mandates. These include operations in Argentina, France, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines and South Africa. 03• Changes to macroeconomic factors as a result of COVID-19 – Favorable: lower costs of steel and other raw materials, energy, improved labor availability and less turnover – Unfavorable: FX translation impacts and regional economic impacts 04• Other challenges associated with COVID-19 may impact our business, including changes to supply chain availability and costs, overall demand for Valmont products, logistics delays, the normal operations of a facility, including any temporary closures as mandated or otherwise made necessary by governmental authorities, and any additional carryover of economic effects. 16 | June 2020 | Valmont Industries, Inc. | Investor Presentation
