Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 4, 2014, Valmont Industries, Inc. issued a press release announcing that its reduction of share ownership of Delta EMD Limited, a South African company listed on the Johannesburg stock exchange, will trigger a deconsolidation of Delta EMD from Valmont’s consolidated financial statements.  As a result, Valmont will recognize a non-cash after-tax loss in the fourth quarter of 2013 in the amount of $12.0 million or $0.45 per share.  Additionally, prior to deconsolidation, Delta EMD recognized an impairment of fixed assets.  Valmont’s share of the non-cash impairment loss after-tax was $4.6 million, or $0.17 per share.  Excluding the $0.62 combined income statement impact of the deconsolidation and fixed asset impairment, Valmont currently expects diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to be approximately $10.97 per share, subject to completion of the audit.  The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by this reference.
