first six months of 2018, an increase of 15.7%. Income from operations in the Division was $36.6 million for the first six months of 2019 versus $28.0 million in the same period of the prior year, an

increase of 31.0%. The Industrial Division benefited from continued strong demand for the Company's products in its core markets focused on governmental infrastructure maintenance and also by growing demand for certain products such as vacuum trucks and excavators from non-governmental end users.

The Company's Agricultural Division net sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $55.2 million compared to net sales of $59.1 million in the prior year's second quarter, a decrease of 6.6%. The Division's income from operations for the quarter was $4.2 million compared to $6.2 million in 2018, a decrease of 31.6%. For the first six months of 2019, the Agricultural Division's net sales were $108.3 million versus $117.7 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of 8.0%. Income from operations was $6.4 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $11.4 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of 44.0%. The Agricultural Division's results continue to be impacted by weak agricultural market conditions and lower farm incomes.

Alamo's European Division net sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $62.0 million, a 29.2% increase compared to net sales of $48.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. Income from operations for the quarter was $4.9 million compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of the prior year, an increase of 11.5%. For the first six months of 2019, net sales in the European Division were $112.4 million compared to $95.3 million in the same period of 2018, an increase of 17.9%. Income from operations for the first half of 2019 was $8.9 million versus $8.7 million in 2018, an increase of 1.9%. The results in the Division include the effects of the acquisition of Dutch Power referenced previously which contributed $14.0 million to net sales in the second quarter and $17.6 million for the first six months of 2019. Dutch Power contributed $1.2 million to the Division's income from operations in the second quarter and $1.5 million for the first six months of 2019. Alamo's European Division results were also impacted by changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and both the U.K. pound sterling and the Euro.

Changes in exchange rates compared to the comparable periods in 2018 had a $2.8 million negative effect on the Division's net sales in the second quarter of 2019 and a $6.3 million negative effect for the first six months of 2019.⁽¹⁾

Comments on Results

Ron Robinson, Alamo Group's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results. Having record sales and earnings is always gratifying, but to achieve these levels in a quarter with a number of challenges is even more rewarding. Certainly, the strong performance of our Industrial Division has been the key driver to our results this year, but I feel our other divisions have performed well given the conditions they've faced. Our Agricultural Division held up reasonably given the overall weakness in that sector due to prolonged soft agricultural commodity prices, the negative effect on the markets from unfavorable trade tariffs and the impact of adverse weather conditions in the first half of the year. While sales were down, margins improved compared to the slow start the Division experienced in the first quarter of 2019. And, we believe our sales in this area have performed better than the market itself. While it is difficult to predict when the market will start to show significant improvement, in the last month or so commodity prices have shown signs of strengthening, which is a much needed development.

"The same can be said for our European operations, which also had reasonable results in the second quarter despite overall soft European market conditions, the lingering effects of some lower margin backlog in our French operations which will dampen our results into the third quarter of this year and unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates which lowered the value of our European results in both sales and earnings compared to the previous year's rates. Our European results did benefit from the acquisition of Dutch Power which occurred late in the first quarter of 2019.

"As noted, our Industrial Division continued to lead the way with strong growth in sales and earnings. Excavators, vacuum trucks, street sweepers and snow removal equipment were the Division's leading performers, all showing double digit gains. And, while there are indications of some market softening in the U.S. economy, we believe our strong backlog should continue to benefit us throughout 2019. Some indications of this softening economy are helping our results, for instance, last year increases in input costs were a challenge, whereas so far this year they are more of a tailwind, led by reduced steel prices.

"At Alamo Group, we are also benefiting by ongoing operational improvement initiatives which are proceeding at an accelerated pace. This year our two major projects, the expansion at our Tenco facility in Canada along with our new Super Products vacuum truck manufacturing facility being built in Wisconsin, are both coming along nicely and we expect they will be fully operational in 2020, which should help drive further margin improvements.

"So, while we feel soft agricultural market conditions, a weakened European economy, unfavorable exchange rates and unsettled tariff negotiations will all continue to impact our results, we believe the stability of Alamo's core markets further aided by our favorable backlog, less inflationary pressure and contributions from acquisitions will all contribute to our ongoing success for the remainder of 2019."

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 the impact of the Company's recently completed acquisitions upon Sales, Operating Income and Net Income all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Attachment 2 discloses a non-GAAP financial presentation related to the impact of currency translation on net sales by division. Attachment 3 shows the net change in our total debt, net of cash, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company considers this information useful to investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance.
