Exhibit 99.2 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data set forth below gives effect to the acquisition of Newmark International, Inc. and Pfleiderer Leasing USA, Inc. (collectively, "Newmark") (the "Acquisition") on April 16, 2004 by the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of Valmont Industries, Inc. ("Valmont"). The unaudited pro forma condensed financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and notes of Valmont and the historical audited combined financial statements and notes of Newmark. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 27, 2003 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on such date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to the Acquisition as if it occurred as of December 29, 2002. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data do not purport to represent what Valmont's results of operations or financial position would have been if the Acquisition had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data have been prepared giving effect to the Acquisition, which is accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." The total purchase price for Newmark was allocated to the net assets based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The purchase price allocations for the Acquisition are preliminary and further refinements are likely to be made based on the results of final valuations and the resolution of any post-closing purchase price adjustments pursuant to the stock purchase agreement. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Valmont believes are reasonable, which assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations excludes certain non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the Acquisition including an inventory fair value step-up from the Acquisition expected to increase fiscal 2004 cost of sales by $1.0 million.

The specific items adjusted for include the fiberglass business unit and liabilities not being assumed which include $12.0 million in dividends payable to Newmark's parent company that were cancelled pursuant to the acquisition agreement. (b) Reflects adjustments to record additional depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the fair market value adjustments to property, plant and equipment (included in costs of sales) and finite-lived intangible assets (included in selling, general and administrative expenses): Property, plant and equipment $ 1,000 Finite-lived intangible assets $ 1,000 (c) Represents adjustments to interest expense as follows: Bridge loan facility (2.85% adjustable rate) (i) $ 796 Revolving credit facility (2.25% adjustable rate) (ii) 2,025 Elimination of Newmark's interest expense (1,016) Amortization of financing costs on bridge loan facility(iii) 390 ------------ $ 2,195 ============ (i) Represents the interest on the amount drawn on the bridge loan facility at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. (ii) Represents the interest on the amount drawn on the existing revolving credit facility at LIBOR plus 125 basis points. (iii)Represents fees associated with the bridge loan facility at 50 basis points on the total commitment and 50 basis points on the amount drawn on the bridge loan facility. (d) Represents the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at an estimated 36.5% tax rate. (e) The Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Financial Data include adjustments based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation, and further adjustments may be made based on the completion of final valuation and other studies. Specifically, following the closing of the Acquisition, Valmont will complete a valuation of fixed assets and intangible assets. The final purchase price is dependent on a number of factors, including the change in net book value of Newmark as of the closing date. The following table summarizes the net assets acquired and pro forma purchase price based on Newmark's December 31, 2003 financial statements. Net book value of Newmark $ 27,723 Plus: assets not acquired and liabilities not assumed (b) 7,215 Plus: Repayment of assumed Newmark revolving credit 8,000 Plus: Repayment of assumed Newmark notes payable 2,827 Plus: Repayment of assumed Newmark current portion of long-term debt 109 ------------ 45,874 ------------ Purchase consideration: Bridge loan facility 27,936 Revolving credit facility 90,000 ------------ 117,936 ------------ Purchase price adjustment $ 72,062 ============ Preliminary purchase price allocation: Inventory 1,000 Property, plant and equipment 5,000 Finite lived intangible assets 20,000 Tradename 10,000 Goodwill 45,187 Deferred income taxes (9,125) ------------ $ 72,062 ============ We expect to allocate a portion of the purchase price to property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. Assuming a weighted average life of 10 years, for each $10.0 million allocated to property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, pro forma net earnings would decrease by $635,000.
