FORT WORTH, Texas, April 5, 2012 /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 29, 2012.  Revenues for the fourth quarter were $123.6 million compared to $100.7 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 23 percent. Net income for the fourth quarter was $11.6 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in last year's fourth fiscal quarter. The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 includes a favorable non-recurring tax valuation allowance adjustment of $0.10 per diluted share.

For the twelve-month period, the Company reported revenues of $469.1 million compared to $380.6 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of 23 percent.  Net income for the twelve months was $40.7 million, or $3.21 per diluted share, compared to $35 million, or $2.77 per diluted share in the comparable period of last year.  The favorable non-recurring tax valuation allowance adjustment of $0.10 per diluted share is included in the full year results for fiscal year 2012 of $3.21 per diluted share.

Backlog at the end of our fourth quarter was $138.6 million, an increase of 28 percent compared to the backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011 of $108.4 million.   Incoming orders for the fourth quarter were $130.2 million while shipments for the quarter totaled $123.6 million, resulting in a book to ship ratio of 105 percent. For the full fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, the book to ship ratio was 106 percent. 

Revenues for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012 were $52.7 million as compared to $43.6 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 21 percent.  Operating income for the segment increased 12 percent to $7.6 million compared to $6.7 million in the same period last year.  Operating margins for the fourth quarter were 14 percent compared to 15 percent in the same period last year. For the twelve months ending February 29, 2012, revenues increased 16 percent to $189.2 million compared to $162.6 million and operating income decreased 5 percent to $25.8 million compared to $27.1 million in the prior year period.  Operating margins for the twelve months ending February 29, 2012 were 14 percent compared to 17 percent in the same period last year.

Revenues for the Company's Galvanizing Service Segment for the fourth quarter were $71 million, compared to the $57.1 million in the same period last year, an increase of 24 percent.   Operating income was $18.5 million as compared to $14.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 25 percent. Tonnage shipped increased 28 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 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 2012, revenues increased 28 percent to $279.9 million and operating income increased 28 percent to $73 million compared to $218 million and $57 million, respectively, for the twelve months of the prior year.  Operating margins were 26 percent for both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012.   

David H. Dingus, president and chief executive officer of AZZ incorporated, commented, "We are very pleased with the results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2012.  For both segments, the operating results reflect continued effective execution and modest market improvements.  The operating margins for both segments were as anticipated in both the fourth quarter and fiscal year.  Emphasis on organic growth with acceptable operating margins continues to be a major focus of the company.  Product and market expansion opportunities through acquisition to further enhance our strategic position will supplement our organic growth initiatives."

Based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, the Company's previously issued guidance for Fiscal 2013, that revenues would be in the range of $475 to $510 million and that fully diluted earnings per share would be in the range of $3.25 to $3.55, remains unchanged.   

AZZ incorporated will conduct a conference call to discuss financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012 at 4:30 P.M. ET on Thursday, April 5, 2012.  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 #10011966, 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 4, 2012, to shareholders of record on April 20, 2012.
