ALAMO GROUP INC (ALG) Business

Item 1. Business

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” "Alamo Group," “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

General

The Company is a leader in the manufacture and sale of high-quality, purpose-built industrial and vegetation management equipment. We serve end-markets such as infrastructure building and maintenance, industrial construction, public works, land maintenance, agriculture and tree care. Our products are sold to independent equipment dealers and directly to contractors and municipalities. Product categories include vocational products (vacuum trucks, street sweepers, roadside safety equipment, excavators, and snow removal equipment) and light machinery (tractor mounted mowing equipment, land maintenance and recycling equipment) as well as related after-market parts and services. The Company operates two divisions: the Industrial Equipment Division and the Vegetation Management Division. Founded in 1969, the Company has approximately 3,800 employees and operates 27 manufacturing facilities in North America, Canada, Europe, Brazil and Australia. The corporate offices of Alamo Group Inc. are located in Seguin, Texas.

The predecessor corporation to Alamo Group Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in 1969, as a successor to a business that began selling mowing equipment in 1955, and Alamo Group Inc. was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1987.

History

Since its founding in 1969, the Company has focused on satisfying customer needs through geographic market expansion, product development and refinement, and selected acquisitions. The Company’s first products were based on rotary cutting technology. Through acquisitions, the Company added flail cutting technology in 1983 and sickle-bar cutting technology in 1984.

The Company entered the agricultural mowing markets in 1986 with the acquisition of Rhino Products Inc. (“Rhino”), a leading manufacturer in this field. With this acquisition, the Company embarked on a strategy to increase the Rhino dealer distribution network during a period of industry contraction. The addition of M&W Gear Company (“M&W”) in early 1995 allowed the Company to enter into the manufacturing and distribution of tillage equipment, which complements the Rhino distribution network. M&W is part of the vegetation management marketing group.

In 1991, the Company began its international expansion with the acquisition of McConnel Ltd. (“McConnel”), a United Kingdom (“U.K.”) manufacturer of vegetation maintenance equipment, principally hydraulic boom-mounted hedge and grass cutters and related parts. Bomford-Turner Ltd. (“Bomford”), also a U.K. company, was acquired in 1993. Bomford is a manufacturer of heavy-duty, tractor-mounted grass and hedge mowing equipment. McConnel and Bomford sell their products to dealers and distributors through their respective sales forces.

The Company added to its presence in the industrial and governmental vegetation markets with the acquisition of Tiger Corporation (“Tiger”) in 1994. Tiger manufactures a wide variety of durable rotary and flail boom mowers, side mowers and rear mowing equipment, along with truck mounted boom mowers and a full line of specialty mowing equipment and attachments.

In 1994, the Company acquired Signalisation Moderne Autoroutiere S.A. (“SMA”) located in Orleans, France. SMA manufactures and sells principally a line of heavy-duty, tractor-mounted grass and hedge mowing-equipment and associated replacement parts primarily to departments of the French government. This acquisition, along with the acquisitions of Forges Gorce ("Forges Gorce"), a flail blade manufacturer in France, in 1996 and Rousseau Holdings S.A. (“Rousseau”), a leading French manufacturer of hedge and verge mowers, in 2004, when combined with McConnel and Bomford, has made the Company one of the largest manufacturers in the European market for the kind of vegetation management equipment sold by the Company.

Products and Distribution Channels

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company began reporting operating results on the basis of two new segments, namely, the Vegetation Management Division and the Industrial Equipment Division. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company had been reporting its operating results on the basis of two segments which were the Industrial Division and Agricultural Division. The Vegetation Management Division includes all of the operations of the former Agricultural Division plus the mowing and forestry/tree care operations that were previously part of the former Industrial Division. The Industrial Equipment Division includes the Company’s vocational truck business and other industrial operations such as excavators, vacuum trucks, street sweepers, snow removal equipment, truck mounted attenuators, and grapple trucks and loaders. We believe the realignment of our two divisions provides greater potential to capture synergies in cross-branding, distribution, product development, supply chain management and logistics. The two divisions are also more balanced in scale and scope, giving the Company two strong platforms for ongoing development through a mix of organic growth and acquisitions.

Replacement Parts

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from sales of replacement parts for each of its wholegoods lines. Replacement parts represented approximately 16%, 17% and 17% of the Company’s total sales for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Product Development

The Company’s ability to provide innovative responses to customer needs, to develop and manufacture new products, and to enhance existing product lines is important to its success. The Company continually conducts research and development activities in an effort to improve existing products and develop new products. As of December 31, 2025, the Company employed 233 people in its various engineering departments, 147 of whom are degreed engineers and the balance of whom are support staff. Amounts expended on research and development activities were approximately $11.2 million in 2025, $13.5 million in 2024 and $13.4 million in 2023. As a percentage of sales, research & development was approximately 0.7% in 2025, 0.8% in 2024 and 0.8% in 2023, and is expected to continue at similar levels in 2026.

Seasonality

The Company’s unit sales are fairly constant quarter to quarter. However, replacement part sales are generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year, because a substantial number of the Company’s products are used for maintenance activities such as vegetation maintenance, highway right-of-way maintenance, construction, and street and parking lot sweeping. Usage of this equipment is typically lower in harsh weather. The Company utilizes an annual twelve-month sales forecast provided by the Company’s marketing departments which is updated quarterly in order to develop a production plan for its manufacturing facilities. In addition, many of the Company’s marketing departments attempt to equalize demand for products throughout the calendar year by offering seasonal sales programs which may provide additional incentives, including discounts and extended payment terms.

Competition

The Company’s products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. The principal competitive factors are price, quality, availability, service and reputation. The Company competes with several large national and international companies that offer a broad range of equipment and replacement parts, as well as with numerous small, privately-held manufacturers and suppliers of a limited number of products, mainly on a regional basis. Some of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger than the Company and have substantially greater financial and other resources at their disposal. The Company believes that it is able to compete successfully in its markets by effectively managing its manufacturing costs, offering high quality products, developing and designing innovative products and, to some extent, avoiding direct competition with significantly larger potential competitors. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not substantially increase the resources devoted to the development and marketing of products competitive with the Company’s products or that new competitors with greater resources will not enter the Company’s markets.

Unfilled Orders

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unfilled customer orders of $599.7 million compared to $668.6 million at December 31, 2024. Management expects that substantially all of the Company’s unfilled orders as of December 31, 2025 will be shipped during fiscal year 2026. The amount of unfilled orders at a particular time is affected by a number of factors, including manufacturing and shipping schedules which, in most instances, are dependent on the Company’s seasonal sales programs and the requirements of its customers. It is possible that supply chain disruptions, labor constraints, and other new and/or unanticipated effects, could cause delays in delivery or an inability to complete unfilled customer orders. The Company’s orders are subject to cancellation at any time before shipment; therefore, a comparison of unfilled orders from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of future actual shipments. No single customer or group of customers is responsible for 10% or more of the aggregate revenue of the Company or of a segment of the Company.

11

Sources of Supply

The principal raw materials used by the Company include steel, other metal components, hydraulic hoses, paint and tires. During 2025, the raw materials needed by the Company were available from a variety of sources in adequate quantities and at prevailing market prices. While supply chain issues have improved compared to prior years, we remain affected by inflationary impacts for many of the raw materials we purchase. We expect pricing to remain elevated in 2026 but anticipate a slowing of the rate of inflation.

While the Company manufactures many of the parts for its products, a significant percentage of parts, including most drivelines, gearboxes, industrial engines, and hydraulic components, are purchased from outside suppliers which manufacture to the Company’s specifications. In addition, the Company, through its subsidiaries, purchases tractors and truck chassis as a number of the Company’s products are mounted and shipped with a tractor or truck chassis. The Company sources its purchased goods from international and domestic suppliers. No one supplier is responsible for supplying more than 10% of the principal raw materials or purchased goods used by the Company.

Patents, Trademarks and Trade Names

The Company owns various U.S. and international patents, trademarks and trade names. While the Company considers its patents, trademarks and trade names to be advantageous to its business, it is not dependent on any single patent, trademark, trade name or group of patents, trademarks, or trade names. The net book value of patents, trademarks and trade names was $71.7 million and $70.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Environmental and Other Governmental Regulations

Like other manufacturers, the Company is subject to a broad range of federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations including those relating to climate change; emissions to air, including Tier 4 or similar engine emission regulations; discharges to water; restrictions placed on water usage and water availability; product and associated packaging; use of certain chemicals; restricted substances, including "conflict minerals" disclosure rules; import and export compliance, including country of origin certification requirements; worker and product user health and safety; energy efficiency; product life-cycles; outdoor noise laws; and the generation, use, handling, labeling, collection, management, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, and other regulated materials.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the California Air Resources Board ("CARB"), and similar regulators in other U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which we sell our products have emission requirements setting maximum emission standards for certain equipment. In addition to the EPA's implementation of Tier 4 emission requirements applicable to diesel engines, China, the European Union ("EU") and the United Kingdom also have adopted similar regulations, and similar emission regulations are also being considered in other markets in which we sell our products. CARB continues to propose new regulations, including Tier 5 off-road diesel engine emissions standards that are in development. In addition, CARB has started to implement on-road zero emissions equipment regulations that will likely create increasingly stringent requirements on exhaust and other emissions from some of the products we manufacture. These new on-road zero emissions regulations have started to limit the availability of some on-road vehicle chassis that use diesel engines in California and possibly in other states that plan to adopt these CARB regulations.

The U.S. federal government, several U.S. states, and certain international markets where we sell our products, including the EU and some EU member countries have introduced product life-cycle laws, rules, or regulations, which are intended to reduce waste and environmental and human health impact, and require manufacturers to label, collect, dispose, and recycle certain products, including some of our products, at the end of their useful life. These include, among other laws and regulations: (i) the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals ("REACH") directive, U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), or similar substance level laws, rules, or regulations that require notification of use of certain chemicals, or ban or restrict the use of certain chemicals; (ii) California Proposition 65 and other product substance restriction laws, some of which require certain labeling of products; (iii) energy efficiency laws, rules, or regulations, which are intended to reduce the use and inefficiencies associated with energy and natural resource consumption and require specified efficiency ratings and capabilities for certain products; (iv) conflict minerals laws, such as those contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),

12

which require specific procedures for the determination and disclosure of the use of certain minerals, known as "conflict minerals," which are mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries; and (v) supply chain transparency laws and regulations addressing modern slavery and human trafficking.

The Company is also subject to various other federal, state, and local laws affecting its business, as well as a variety of regulations relating to such matters as working conditions, equal employment opportunities, and product safety, including National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reporting. In addition, a variety of laws regulate the Company’s contractual relationships with its dealers, some of which impose restrictive standards on the relationship between the Company and its dealers, including events of default, grounds for termination, non-renewal of dealer contracts, and equipment repurchase requirements.

We believe we have maintained compliance with existing laws, rules and regulations applicable to our business and will continue to do so. We believe there will be some additional costs to our business as a result of the increasing level of regulation applicable to our business activities, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or other liabilities as a result thereof.

Human Capital Resources and Management

The success of our Company depends on the talents and dedication of our people, and we are committed to investing in their success. Our Vice-President of Global Human Resources ("VP-HR") is responsible for developing and executing our human resources strategy together with our President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the other members of the Company's management team. Our CEO and VP-HR regularly update our Board of Directors regarding the status of our human resources strategic initiatives, which include:

Focus on Health and Safety: Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace in each of our locations is a priority, and we focus on continuous improvement by embedding proactive and preventative safety into every level of the organization as one of our core values. Every location offers frequent safety meetings and training programs to all employees. Our safety committees conduct audits to identify and remove potential issues. Safety performance is tracked, aggregated, reviewed timely and reported to management for appropriate action by our corporate technical affairs and safety team, who conducts root cause analysis with corrective action plans to prevent future occurrences. Safety performance data is reviewed by the executive leadership team and the Company's Board of Directors.

Employee Engagement and Talent Development: Alamo Group aims to create a culture of equal employment opportunity and inclusive and respectful workplace. Attracting, developing, and retaining our team of highly talented and motivated employees is key to Alamo Group's success in meeting our customers' needs and sustaining the Company's growth.

Employees are provided a wide range of professional development experiences, at all stages in their careers. We offer tuition reimbursement, a broad range of leadership development experiences, vocational and trade skills training, and external partnerships with educational institutions across the globe. Welder training, apprenticeships, and local partnerships with various educational programs and high schools enable our operating companies to hire and grow critical manufacturing skills.

Programs are available on-demand and training is easily accessible to employees. Virtual, in-person and on-campus programs are offered to encourage cross-location and cross-functional networking that foster and support our culture of continuous improvement.

Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity and Inclusion: We recognize, value, and respect the individual differences of our employees and believe that a varied set of backgrounds, education, experiences, and perspectives is crucial to our ability to continue to innovate, collaborate, and meet the needs of our global workforce and customers. We promote an inclusive environment through policies and training, so that employees feel empowered to contribute to the Company's ongoing success. Career opportunities are marketed internally as well as externally to a wide network of organizations and job boards so we can encourage a broad pool of candidates. We actively volunteer and engage in local community projects and contribute donations to charitable organizations to positively impact the communities and markets in which our employees live and work.

Compensation and Benefits: We regularly assess our pay and benefit practices to ensure our people are compensated fairly and competitively. Our compensation programs vary by country and region, and may include annual bonus and incentive plans, profit sharing, stock-based compensation awards, company-sponsored retirement savings plans with employee matching opportunities (or similar local retirement benefits), healthcare and insurance benefits, dependent care and flexible savings accounts, paid time off such as vacation and holidays, sick

13

pay, disability pay and family leave, flexible work schedules, wellness and employee assistance programs for mental health, self-improvement, legal and financial services, service anniversary awards, tuition assistance and dependent college scholarships, and discounts on products and services.

Labor Agreements: As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 3,800 employees. In the U.S., the Company has a collective bargaining agreement at its Gradall plant which covers 240 employees and will expire on April 22, 2029. In Canada, the Tenco bargaining agreement covers 130 employees and expired on December 31, 2025; RPM has an agreement covering 2 employees which expired on February 1, 2025; and Everest has a collective bargaining agreement covering 83 employees which expires on November 30, 2029. The expired agreements are currently being renegotiated. In the Company’s European locations, all employees are covered by the European Works Council agreements. McConnel, Bomford, Spearhead, AMS-UK, SMA, Faucheux, Forges Gorce, Rousseau, Rivard, and Alamo Group The Netherlands have various collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 852 employees. In addition, 214 employees in Brazil are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which is renegotiated every calendar year. The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.
