- Net sales for the quarter of $213.3 million, up 0.8%
-
- Industrial Division net sales $117.3 million, up 0.2%

- Record net sales for the first six months of $428.7 million, up 1.5%
- Backlog at $157.2 million, up 20.7% versus previous year's second quarter
Alamo Group's net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $213.3 million compared to
$211.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 0.8%. Net income for the quarter
was $12.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to net income
of $10.6 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in 2016. This is
an increase of 16.6% in net income and 14.1% in earnings per share.
For the first six months of 2017 net sales were $428.7 million compared to $422.5 million in the previous year, an increase of 1.5%. Net income for the first half of 2017 was
$24.5 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, versus $19.2 million, or $1.67 per diluted share for the same period in 2016. This
is an increase of 27.4% in net income and 25.7% in earnings per share. Net income and diluted earnings per share for both
the second quarter and first six months of 2017 were at record levels for Alamo Group.
Sales by Division
Alamo Group's Industrial Division net sales in the second quarter of 2017 were $117.3 million
compared to $117.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 0.2%. Sales in the
division were flat in the second quarter as decreases in snow removal products offset increases in sweeper, vacuum truck and
excavator products. For the first six months of 2017 net sales in the Division were $243.2
million versus $240.4 million in 2016, an increase of 1.1%.
The Company's Agricultural Division recorded net sales of $54.2 million in the second quarter of
2017, an increase of 4.6% compared with net sales of $51.8 million for the same period in the prior
year. We believe this increase reflects signs of modest improvement in certain sectors of the agricultural market.
For the first six months of 2017 net sales in the Agricultural Division were $106.0 million
compared to net sales of $100.5 million in the first half of the previous year, an increase of
5.5%.
Alamo Group's European Division net sales in the second quarter of 2017 were $41.7 million, a
decrease of 1.8% compared to net sales of $42.5 million in the comparable period of 2016.
While net sales were down in U.S. dollars, in local currency they were up 5.0% as the European market is starting to show some
indications of a return to growth. For the first six months of 2017 net sales in the Division were $79.5 million compared to $81.5 million in the first six months of 2016, a
decrease of 2.5% in U.S. dollars, though up 5.1% in local currency.(1)
Ron Robinson, Alamo Group's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We continue to
be pleased with the progress we are making in 2017. Margins are steadily improving and earnings growth is strong despite very
moderate sales growth. We are particularly pleased that all three of our operating divisions contributed to the earnings
growth we have experienced in the first six months of 2017.
"Alamo's Industrial Division continues to be a solid performer, even though sales were
essentially flat in the second quarter due to weakness in sales of our snow removal products which offset increases in other
Division products, most notably sweepers, excavators and even our vacuum truck products, which have been particularly weak for
the last year, showed improvement.
"Our Agricultural Division had sales growth of 4.6% and continued strong margin performance. Plus, we feel we are
finally starting to see some improvement in parts of the agricultural market. Though these indications are modest and
spotty, we feel this bodes well for the Division's results for the rest of the year and into 2018.
"Our European Division is also seeing signs of improved market activity. While our sales in US dollars were down
slightly in the second quarter, they were up 5.0% in local currency. This was heavily affected by the declines in the value
of the British pound and Euro following the Brexit vote at the end of the second quarter in 2016. Both of these currencies
are now trading above the lows they were a year ago. This should make the comparables for our results more favorable in the
second half of 2017. With better comparables and slight market improvement we believe the outlook for our European Division
is looking up for the remainder of 2017. Significant improvements in European bookings and backlog are also adding to our
confidence.(1)
"For Alamo in total, while market conditions remain soft, we are encouraged that there are
some signs of improvement and we feel with any top line growth we can continue to exhibit reasonable margin improvement and
earnings growth, though probably not at the pace we have experienced in the first half of 2017. Certainly our improvements
in backlog in the second quarter, up over 20% from a year ago, further support this outlook. In addition, we should start
to benefit from the recent acquisitions we have announced. Old Dominion Brush Company in the U.S. and Santa Izabel in Brazil should both provide marginal, but accretive
contributions to Alamo's results in the second half of 2017.
"As a result, while we feel our markets will remain challenged and sales growth will be modest, we are optimistic about the
outlook for Alamo Group in the second half of 2017 and feel further improving market conditions should continue to benefit us as
we move into 2018."

Alamo Group Inc.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
From time to time, Alamo Group Inc. may disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures" in the course of its earnings releases,
earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. For these purposes, "GAAP" refers to generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a "non-GAAP financial
measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that is subject
to adjustments that effectively exclude or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Alamo Group are provided as additional information to
investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial
condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different
from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial
measure, we will also generally present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable
GAAP financial measure.
Attachment 1 discloses a non-GAAP financial presentation related to the impact of currency translation on net sales by
division. We also disclose in Attachment 1, the net change in our total debt, net of cash, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure. Attachment 2 shows a non-GAAP financial presentation that describes adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The Company considers this information useful to investors to allow
better comparability of period-to-period operating performance.
