FORT WORTH, Texas, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AZZ incorporated (NYSE: AZZ), a manufacturer of electrical products and a provider of galvanizing services, today announced unaudited financial results for the three and twelve-month periods ended February 28, 2011, which includes the acquisition of North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc. ("North American Galvanizing") effective June 14, 2010. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $100.7 million compared to $84.9 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 19 percent. Net income for the fourth quarter was $9.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in last year's fourth fiscal quarter.  

For the twelve-month period, the Company reported revenues of $380.6 million compared to $357.0 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of 7 percent.  Net income for the twelve months was $35 million, or $2.77 per diluted share, compared to $37.7 million, or $3.02 per diluted share in the comparable period of last year.  For the current twelve months, expenses related to the acquisition of North American Galvanizing adversely impacted earnings per diluted share by $0.10.

Backlog at the end of our fourth quarter was $108.4 million. Backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 was $109.9 million.  Incoming orders for the fourth quarter were $107.4 million while shipments for the quarter totaled $100.7 million, resulting in a book to ship ratio of 107 percent. The company will deliver 34 percent of the $108.4 backlog outside of the U.S.

Revenues for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011 were $43.6 million as compared to $48.9 million for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 11 percent.  Operating income for the segment decreased 26 percent to $6.7 million compared to $9.1 million in the same period last year.  Operating margins for the fourth quarter were 15 percent compared to 19 percent in the same period last year. For the twelve months ending February 28, 2011, revenues decreased 20 percent to $162.6 million and operating income decreased 34 percent to $27.1 million compared to $203.5 million and $40.8 million, respectively, in the prior year period.  Operating margins for the twelve months ending February 28, 2011 was 17 percent compared to 20 percent in the same period last year.

Revenues for the Company's Galvanizing Service Segment for the fourth quarter were $57.1 million, compared to the $36.0 million in the same period last year, an increase of 59 percent.  The acquisition of North American Galvanizing accounted for $16.4 million of the increase in revenues.  Operating income was $14.8 million as compared to $9.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 61 percent. The acquisition of North American Galvanizing contributed $4.2 million of the operating income. Tonnage shipped increased 52 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 when compared to the prior year period. Operating margins for the fourth quarter were 26 percent, compared to 26 percent in the same period last year. For the twelve months of Fiscal 2011, revenues increased 42 percent to $218 million and operating income increased 27 percent to $57 million compared to $153.6 million and $44.8 million, respectively, for the twelve months of the prior year.  Operating margins were 26 percent compared to 29 percent in the prior year period.  The contribution to the twelve months from the acquisition of North American Galvanizing was $49.7 million in revenues and $12.2 million in operating income.  

David H. Dingus, president and chief executive officer of AZZ incorporated, commented, "The fourth quarter incoming order rate again reflects what we believe to be the leveling off of our business cycle, and we are beginning to see modest increases in our inquiry and quotation levels for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment and growth in our Galvanizing Services Segment.  The book to ship of the quarter of 107 percent is encouraging considering the fact that our fourth quarter is traditionally our weakest quarter for incoming orders.  While the opportunities are increasing, pricing remains a challenge due to competitive forces and increased cost of commodities.  We believe this will continue through most of our new fiscal year. We continue to be very pleased with the positive impact and the successful assimilation of North American Galvanizing.  Organic growth in galvanizing combined with acquisition growth is most encouraging to us. The markets for our galvanizing services continue to show improvement.  Our efforts to identify additional product and market opportunities that will add growth and enhance our strategic position continue."

Based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, the Company's issued projections for Fiscal 2012, that revenues would be in the range of $425 to $450 million and that fully diluted earnings per share would be in the range of $2.70 to $3.05, remains unchanged. Our guidance does include the increased interest expense of $0.34 per diluted share associated with the $125 million of Senior Private Placement Notes issued on January 20, 2011.  

AZZ incorporated will conduct a conference call to discuss financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 at 4:30 P.M. ET on Thursday, April 7, 2011.  Interested parties can access the conference call by dialing (877) 317-6789 or (412) 317-6789 (international). The call will be web cast via the Internet at www.azz.com/azzinvest.htm.   A replay of the call will be available for three days at (877) 344-7529 or (412) 317-0088 (international), confirmation #449698, or for 30 days at www.azz.com/azzinvest.htm.  

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a 25 cents per share cash dividend on the Company's common stock outstanding.  The dividend will be paid at the close of business on May 6, 2011, to shareholders of record on April 21, 2011.
