NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

AZZ Inc. ("AZZ", the "Company", "our" or "we") was established in 1956 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas. We are a provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions to a broad range of end markets in North America. We have three distinct operating segments: the AZZ Metal Coatings segment, the AZZ Precoat Metals segment, and the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. Our AZZ Metal Coatings segment is a leading provider of metal coating solutions for corrosion protection, including hot-dip galvanizing, spin galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing and plating to the North American steel fabrication industry and other industries. The AZZ Precoat Metals segment provides coatings and value-added services for steel and aluminum coil, primarily serving the construction; infrastructure; transportation; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and appliances; container; and other end markets in North America. The AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment ("AIS") represents our 40% non-controlling interest in the AIS Investment Holdings LLC (the "AVAIL JV"). AIS Investment Holdings LLC provides automated weld overlay solutions for corrosion and erosion mitigation to critical infrastructure through its Welding Services Business South America ("WSI Brazil") subsidiary. See Note 7 for information about the Company's operations by segment. See Note 8 for additional information about the AVAIL JV.

Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2026, was derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 22, 2026. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Our fiscal year ends on the last day of February and is identified as the fiscal year for the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, is referred to as fiscal 2027.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses

The balance of trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses was $179.1 million, $142.6 million, and $135.1 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively.

The Company has elected the practical expedient for estimating credit losses for contract assets and accounts receivable that assumes the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that permits entities, when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective March 1, 2026, and the adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies the applicability of the interim reporting guidance, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements, but rather to provide clarity and improve the navigability of the existing interim reporting guidance. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-11 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities ("ASU 2025-10"), which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. ASU 2025-10 provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. ASU 2025-10 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-10 for the interim period ending May 31, 2029, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06") which updates the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (referred to as "internal-use software"). ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-06 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which expands disclosures about a public entity's expenses, including inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses and other expense categories. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for companies with a non-calendar year end. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 or ASU 2025-01 to affect our financial position or our results of operations, but ASU 2024-03 will result in additional disclosures for our annual reporting period ending February 29, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2029.

2. Acquisitions

Seattle Galvanizing

On July 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Seattle Galvanizing Company, LLC ("Seattle Galvanizing"), a privately held provider of hot-dip and spin galvanizing solutions headquartered in Arlington, Washington, for a total purchase price of approximately $57.5 million. The acquisition expanded our geographic coverage into the Pacific Northwest. The business is included in the AZZ Metal Coatings segment. The goodwill arising from this acquisition was allocated to the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the finance lease liability recognized in connection with the acquisition.

The allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition is preliminary and subject to revision during the measurement period, which extends up to one year from the acquisition close date. The valuation of identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and the related deferred tax effects remain incomplete pending receipt of third-party valuation analyses. The preliminary allocation below was made using estimates based on information available at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. We believe these estimates are reasonable; however, the estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available, and any adjustments to preliminary amounts will be reflected as measurement period adjustments in the period in which they are identified.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in aggregate, related to the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition, as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

Our inventory reserves were $3.1 million and $3.4 million as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. Inventory cost is determined principally using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and the average cost method for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment.

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended August 31,				Six Months Ended August 31,
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Numerator:
Net income	$	58,451	$	89,346	$	110,457	$	260,254
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	29,997		30,037		29,964		29,992
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee stock awards	126		207		181		251
Denominator for diluted earnings per share	30,123		30,244		30,145		30,243
Basic earnings per common share	$	1.95	$	2.97	$	3.69	$	8.68
Diluted earnings per common share	$	1.94	$	2.95	$	3.66	$	8.61

For the three months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, 54.1 thousand and 22.3 thousand shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, 52.1 thousand and 22.3 thousand shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. These shares could be dilutive in future periods.

(1) Other includes less significant markets, such as recreation, sales from recycling and other miscellaneous customer industries.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, we revised our disaggregated sales categories to better reflect our current business operations. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, customer industry categories have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on total sales. See Note 7 for sales information by operating segment.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets (unbilled receivables), and contract liabilities (customer advances and deposits) on the consolidated balance sheets. Our contract assets and contract liabilities are primarily related to the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. Customer billing can occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. In addition, we can receive advances from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The changes in contract assets and contract liabilities during the six months ended August 31, 2026, were primarily due to normal timing differences between AZZ's performance and customer payments. Contract liabilities of $0.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively, are included in "Other accrued liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets was $107.3 million, $112.8 million, and $106.5 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized $0.5 million of revenue that was included in contract liabilities as of February 28, 2026.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations ("RUPO") represent the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The amount of RUPO increases with new contracts or additions to existing contracts and decreases as revenue is recognized on existing contracts. Contracts are included in the amount of RUPO when an enforceable agreement has been reached. We have elected the practical expedient to exclude remaining performance obligations with a duration of one year or less. We have a long-term customer contract related to the aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri that includes RUPO through fiscal year 2031. The amounts associated with remaining performance obligations are subject to variability based on customer ordering patterns, production capacity, and contractual provisions. As of August 31, 2026, the amount of RUPO that we expect to recognize as revenue is not significant for any year through fiscal year 2031.

7. Operating Segments

Segment Information

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Sales and operating income are the primary measures used by the CODM to evaluate segment operating performance and to allocate resources to the AZZ Metal Coatings and the AZZ Precoat Metals segments. The CODM uses income before income taxes as the primary measure to evaluate performance and allocate resources to the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. The CODM assesses these metrics and compares actuals to budgeted and forecasted values to evaluate segment operating performance and allocate resources to the operating segments. Expenses related to certain centralized administration or executive functions that are not specifically related to an operating segment are included in Corporate.

A summary of each of our operating segments is as follows:

AZZ Metal Coatings — provides hot-dip galvanizing, spin galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing and plating, and other metal coating applications to the steel fabrication industry and other industries through facilities located throughout North America. Hot-dip galvanizing is a metallurgical manufacturing process in which molten zinc reacts with steel, which provides corrosion protection and extends the lifecycle of fabricated steel for several decades.

AZZ INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AZZ Precoat Metals — provides coil coating application of protective and decorative coatings and related value-added downstream processing for steel and aluminum coils. Primarily serving the construction; infrastructure; transportation; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and appliances; container; and other end markets, the coil coating process emphasizes sustainability and enhanced product lifecycles. It involves cleaning, treating, painting, and curing metal coils as a flat material before they are cut, formed, and fabricated into finished products. This highly efficient method optimizes waste through tight film control and improves final product performance by painting and curing the substrates under conditions unmatched by other application processes.

AZZ Infrastructure Solutions — represents our 40% non-controlling interest in the AVAIL JV, as well as other expenses directly related to AIS receivables and liabilities that were retained following the divestiture of the AIS business.

For the six months ended August 31, 2026, the AVAIL JV's operations consisted primarily of Rig-A-Lite Group ("Rig-A-Lite"), a provider of industrial and hazardous-duty lighting products, and WSI Brazil, a provider of specialized welding, maintenance, and asset integrity solutions serving the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial markets. On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of Rig-A-Lite. For the three months ended August 31, 2025, the AVAIL JV's operations consisted of Rig-A-Lite and WSI. For the six months ended August 31, 2025, AVAIL's operations also included the Electrical Products Group ("EPG"), which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 8 for more information about the AVAIL JV.

8. Investments in Unconsolidated Entity

AVAIL JV

We account for our 40% interest in the AVAIL JV under the equity method of accounting and include our equity in earnings as part of the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. We record our equity in earnings in the AVAIL JV on a one-month lag.

On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of its industrial lighting business, Rig-A-Lite.

As of August 31, 2026, our investment in the AVAIL JV was $11.5 million. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recorded $6.8 million and $7.3 million of equity in earnings, respectively. The majority of the equity in earnings related to the recognition of our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of Rig-A-Lite. During both the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, our proportionate share of equity in earnings (loss) from AVAIL JV operations was not significant.

Distributions from the AVAIL JV

We classify cash flows from distributions using the cumulative earnings method. Cash received is classified as a return on investment and included in operating cash flows to the extent that cumulative earnings exceed cumulative distributions, less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we received $15.7 million in distributions, which were deemed to be a return of investment and reflected in cash flows from investing activities. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, we received $273.2 million in distributions, which were deemed to be a return on investment and reflected in cash flows from operating activities.

We periodically enter into forward contracts to purchase a specified volume of zinc and natural gas at fixed prices. These contracts are not accounted for as derivatives because they meet the criteria for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. On June 30, 2025, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement (the "2025 Swap"). The 2025 Swap converts the SOFR-based component of the interest rate to 3.759%. As of August 31, 2026, the 2025 Swap resulted in a total fixed rate of 5.509%. The 2025 Swap has a notional amount of $290.0 million and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. The objective of the 2025 Swap is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates. The hedged risk is the interest rate risk exposure to changes in interest payments, attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates over the interest rate swap term. The changes in cash flows of the interest rate swap are expected to exactly offset changes in cash flows of the variable-rate debt. We designated the 2025 Swap as a cash flow hedge at inception. Cash settlements, in the form of cash payments or cash receipts, of the 2025 Swap are recognized in "Interest expense, net" in the consolidated statement of operations.

At August 31, 2026, changes in fair value attributable to the effective portion of the 2025 Swap were included on the consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss." For derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the fair value is recognized on our consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities with offsetting changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until reclassified into earnings when the related interest expense is recognized. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we reclassified $0.14 million before income tax, or $0.11 million net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the 2025 Swap.

2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B

We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders, entered into on May 13, 2022 and amended from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "2022 Credit Agreement").

The 2022 Credit Agreement includes the following significant terms:

i.provides for a senior secured initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion (the "Term Loan B"), due May 13, 2029, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company; as of August 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $335.0 million;

ii.provides for a maximum senior secured Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), due May 7, 2029 (following the amendment on May 7, 2026, as described below);

iii.includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million, which is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Credit Facility;

iv.borrowings under the Term Loan B bear an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% and the Revolving Credit Facility bears a leverage-based rate with various tiers between 1.25% and 2.25%; as of August 31, 2026, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.50%;

v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investments and dividends, subject to various exceptions; and,

vi.includes a maximum quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant, with reporting requirements to our banking group at each quarter-end.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On May 7, 2026, we amended our 2022 Credit Agreement to change the following terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

i.extended the maturity date of our Revolving Credit Facility from May 31, 2026 to May 7, 2029;

ii.added JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Capital Markets LLC as additional lenders, and removed Citibank N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC as lenders;

iii.reduced the interest rate tiers from a range of SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75% to a range of SOFR plus 1.25% to 2.25%; and

iv.reduced the leverage-based commitment fee tiers from a range of 0.20% to 0.30% to a range of 0.15% to 0.25%.

In connection with the amendment, approximately 37.50% of the aggregate principal amount was reallocated to the new lenders. We evaluated the amendment under the guidance in ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded that the amendment represented a modification at the instrument level, as the quantitative 10% cash flow test was not met. However, the lender reallocation resulted in a partial extinguishment at the lender level. As a result, for the six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized a write-off of approximately $0.6 million of unamortized debt financing costs, which is included in "Interest expense, net" on our consolidated statement of operations and in "Amortization of debt financing costs" on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

We primarily utilize proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to finance timing fluctuations of working capital needs, capital improvements, quarterly cash dividends, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

As defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, quarterly prepayments were due against the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B and were payable on the last business day of each May, August, November and February, beginning August 31, 2022, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $3.25 million, with the entire remaining principal amount due on May 13, 2029, the maturity date. Additional prepayments made against the Term Loan B contributed to these required quarterly payments. Due to prepayments made against the Term Loan B since August 31, 2022, the quarterly mandatory principal payment requirement has been met, and the quarterly payments of $3.25 million are no longer required.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On July 10, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement secured by our trade accounts receivable and contract assets (the "Receivables Securitization Facility"). Under this arrangement, we transferred our trade receivables to a special purpose entity ("SPE"), which in turn pledged those receivables as collateral for borrowings under the facility. The transaction does not qualify as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing; as a result, the arrangement is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

Accordingly, the receivables transferred to the SPE will remain on our consolidated balance sheet within trade accounts receivable and contract assets, and the Receivables Securitization Facility is included in "Long-term debt, net." The Receivables Securitization Facility has a limit of $150.0 million and is due July 10, 2028. As of August 31, 2026, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $271.1 million, consisting of $166.1 million in trade accounts receivable and $105.0 million in contract assets, with outstanding borrowings of $150.0 million. The interest rate on the Receivables Securitization Facility is one-month SOFR plus 0.95%.

We remain exposed to the credit risk associated with the underlying receivables and are responsible for their collection. The Receivables Securitization Facility includes provisions that allow the SPE to take control of the assets only in the event of bankruptcy or violation of servicing the secured accounts receivable. We continuously monitor these provisions to ensure compliance and availability under the facility.

The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.

Debt Compliance, Outstanding Borrowings and Letters of Credit

Our 2022 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) no greater than 4.5. We are also required to maintain certain covenants under the Receivables Securitization Facility. As of August 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.

Other Disclosures

The weighted-average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and the Receivables Securitization Facility was 5.23% and 5.94% as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.15% and 0.25% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2026, the commitment fee rate was 0.175%.

11. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), certain of our assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: Observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1, or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data; or,

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

The carrying amount of our financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates the fair value of these instruments based upon either their short-term nature or their variable market rate of interest. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our financial instruments.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

Our derivative instrument consists of the 2025 Swap, which is considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The 2025 Swap is included in "Other assets" and "Other long-term liabilities" as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of the 2025 Swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including swap rates, spreads, and/or index levels and interest rate curves. See Note 9 for more information about the 2025 Swap.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Investment in Joint Venture

The fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated AVAIL JV was determined using the income approach at the date on which we entered into the joint venture. The income approach uses discounted cash flow models that require various observable and unobservable inputs, such as operating margins, revenues, product costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, terminal-year values and risk-adjusted discount rates. These valuations resulted in Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements.

We assess our investment in the unconsolidated AVAIL JV for recoverability when events and circumstances are present that suggest there has been a decline in value, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its fair value.

Long-Term Debt

The fair values of our long-term debt instruments are estimated based on market values for debt issued with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. These valuations are Level 2 non-recurring fair value measurements.

The principal amount of our outstanding debt under the 2022 Credit Agreement was $350.0 million and $385.0 million at August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt was $350.8 million and $385.5 million at August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The estimated fair values of our outstanding debt were determined based on the present value of future cash flows using model-derived valuations that use observable inputs such as interest rates and credit spreads. The carrying amount of the Receivables Securitization Facility approximates the fair value.

12. Leases

We are a lessee under various leases for facilities and equipment. As of August 31, 2026, we were the lessee for 164 operating leases and 173 finance leases with terms of 12 months or more. These leases are reflected in "Right-of-use assets," "Lease liability—short-term" and "Lease liability—long-term" in our consolidated balance sheets.

Our leases are primarily for (i) operating facilities, (ii) vehicles and equipment used in operations, (iii) facilities used for back-office functions, (iv) equipment used for back-office functions, and (v) temporary storage. The majority of our vehicle and equipment leases have both a fixed and variable component.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have a significant number of short-term leases, including month-to-month agreements. Our short-term lease agreements include expenses incurred hourly, daily, monthly and for other durations of time of one year or less. Our future lease commitments as of August 31, 2026, do not reflect all of our short-term lease commitments.

13. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 21.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year three-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) in fiscal 2027.

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 24.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 23.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year six-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), partially offset by higher tax deductions for stock compensation in fiscal 2027.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock (the "2020 Authorization"). Repurchases under the 2020 Authorization will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

On January 22, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program (the "2026 Share Repurchase Program") pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock. Repurchases under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we repurchased 136,303 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $146.71 under the 2020 Authorization. As of August 31, 2026, there was $13.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program.

Effective April 18, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") adopted the Executive Retiree LTI Program (the "ERP") to continue the vesting of annual equity awards to certain executive officers and other senior members of the management team as designated by the Compensation Committee, including the Company's named executive officers (a "Covered Executive" or collectively, the "Covered Executives"), upon qualified Retirement (as defined in the Company's 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan). The ERP is applicable to both annual restricted share unit awards and annual performance share unit awards granted to the Covered Executives pursuant to the Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Award Agreements and Performance Share Unit ("PSU") Award Agreements for the Covered Executives (collectively, the "Award Agreements") containing such provisions for the fiscal year 2026 long-term incentive equity awards.

Upon adoption of the ERP, the service requirement for executives who are currently eligible for retirement was met. As a result, we recognized additional stock-based compensation of $2.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025, upon the adoption of the ERP related to the RSU awards for Covered Executives who have achieved qualified retirement status.

16. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Pension and Employee Benefit Obligations

In our AZZ Precoat Metals segment, certain current or past employees participate in a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan"). Prior to the acquisition of AZZ Precoat Metals, benefit accruals were frozen for all participants. After the freeze, participants no longer accrued benefits under the Plan, and new hires of AZZ Precoat Metals are not eligible to participate in the Plan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to terminate the Plan. The Company intends to complete the termination through a combination of lump-sum distributions to active and terminated vested plan participants and the purchase of annuity contracts for current in-pay participants and those participants who do not elect a lump-sum distribution. The termination process is subject to regulatory requirements, including approval from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2028. The approval of the Plan termination does not result in an immediate settlement of the Company's pension obligation. The Company expects to recognize settlement accounting in future periods as individual settlement transactions occur. Upon settlement, the Company may be required to remeasure the Plan's projected benefit obligation and plan assets and may recognize in earnings a portion of the actuarial gains or losses currently recorded in AOCI. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the total financial impact of the Plan termination, including the timing and amount of any gains or losses that may be recognized in future periods. As of August 31, 2026, the Plan was underfunded, and we have a net pension obligation of $12.8 million, which is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets and represents the underfunded portion of the Plan.

The components of net benefit cost other than the employer service cost are included in "Selling, general and administrative" expense and were not significant for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. We paid employer contributions of $2.3 million into the Plan during the six months ended August 31, 2026. We expect to pay $1.0 million of contributions into the Plan during the remainder of fiscal year 2027.

17. Restructuring Charges

No restructuring charges were recognized during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026.

During fiscal year 2026, management completed a restructuring plan for certain surface technologies facilities within the AZZ Metal Coatings segment (the "AST Restructuring") to improve overall operational efficiency and financial performance. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $3.8 million, which were recorded in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statement of operations, including the loss on the sale of equipment, for which we received $0.7 million in proceeds. The restructuring charges consisted of $3.3 million for the write-off of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as $0.5 million for the write-off of other assets and severance accruals.

As a result of the AST Restructuring, we closed two surface technologies facilities; the facilities were located in Garland, Texas and Tampa, Florida. Management performed an analysis of the assets at each location closed. For assets that were not sold or transferred to another location for use in operations, management wrote down the assets to reflect a decrease in estimated useful life and a reduction in fair value.

AZZ INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

AZZ and its subsidiaries are named defendants and plaintiffs in various routine lawsuits incidental to our business. These proceedings include labor and employment claims, various commercial disputes, worker’s compensation and environmental matters, all arising in the normal course of business. As discovery progresses on all outstanding legal matters, we continuously evaluate opportunities to either mediate the cases or settle the disputes for nuisance value or the cost of litigation as a way to resolve the disputes prior to trial. As the pending cases progress through additional discovery and potential mediation, our assessment of the likelihood of a favorable or an unfavorable outcome on the pending lawsuits may change. The actual outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the amount of any potential liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other matters cannot be predicted at this time. Therefore, management, after consultation with legal counsel believes it has strong claims or defenses to all of its legal matters and does not expect liabilities, if any, from these claims or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In 2017, Southeast Texas Industries, Inc. ("STI") filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the Company in the 1st District Court of Jasper County, Texas (the "Court"). In 2020, we filed a counter-suit against STI for amounts due to AZZ Beaumont for work performed. On October 16, 2023, the case went to trial, and on October 27, 2023, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of STI and against AZZ in the amount of $4.5 million in damages for breach of contract and breach of express warranty. On February 14, 2024, the trial court entered Final Judgment in favor of STI, awarding STI actual damages of $4.5 million, plus $1.0 million in attorney fees. On May 14, 2024, we filed a Notice of Appeal in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont. AZZ has purchased a supersedeas bond to cover the final judgment amount during the appellate process. We filed our appellate brief on February 24, 2025. Oral arguments were presented by the parties to the Court of Appeals on March 5, 2026. On April 9, 2026, the Beaumont Court of Appeals ruled there was insufficient evidence to support the final judgment against AZZ, and that STI shall take nothing from AZZ. On August 26, 2026, STI filed a petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas. As of the date of this filing, we still have a legal accrual of $5.5 million recorded, which is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. This legal accrual will remain in place until the time the Supreme Court of Texas has declined to review the case as requested by STI, or makes a ruling on STI's petition on the merits, whichever scenario is applicable.

On May 1, 2026, Kaiser Aluminum Warrick LLC ("Kaiser") filed a complaint against Precoat Mezzanine LLC ("Precoat"), an indirectly held subsidiary of AZZ Inc., in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware alleging breach of contract and breach of express warranty, and seeking declaratory judgment. Kaiser has asserted that Precoat failed to fulfill its obligations under a Master Agreement for Procurement of Services entered into on October 9, 2024. Mediation was conducted on August 10, 2026, and although the parties did not fully resolve their commercial dispute at mediation, they mutually agreed to work together to enter into a new commercial contract. Precoat Metal’s deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the lawsuit (including the assertion of counterclaims) has been extended to October 14, 2026, while the parties determine if they will be able to negotiate a new commercial contract. We are unable to estimate a range of possible loss, if any, at this time.

Environmental

As of August 31, 2026, the reserve balance for our environmental liabilities was $17.1 million, of which $1.7 million is classified as current. Environmental remediation liabilities include costs directly associated with site investigation and site remediation, such as materials, external contractor costs, legal and consulting expenses and incremental internal costs directly related to ongoing remediation plans. Estimates used to record environmental remediation liabilities are based on the Company's best estimate of probable future costs based on site-specific facts and circumstances known at the time of these estimates. These estimates are updated quarterly. The cost estimates for the potential or ongoing remediation plans are developed using internal resources and third-party environmental engineers and consultants.

We accrue the anticipated cost of environmental remediation when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. While any revisions to our environmental remediation liabilities could potentially be material to the operating results of any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, we do not expect such additional remediation expenses to have an adverse material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Business Operations Update

Our results for the six months ended August 31, 2026 were impacted primarily by the growth in demand for our manufactured solutions in the construction, container and industrial end markets.

The demand for our manufactured solutions was the primary contributor to net income of $110.5 million for the current six-month period. Our operating results for the current six-month period, including operating results by segment, are described in the summary on the following page, and detailed descriptions can be found below under "Results of Operations."

Our operations generated $140.0 million of cash for the current six-month period. The components of our liquidity and descriptions of our cash flows, capital investments, and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources can be found below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Outlook

While it is difficult to predict future North American economic activity and its impact on the demand for our galvanizing and coil coating solutions, as well the impact that political or regulatory developments may have on us, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2027.

•Sales prices in our AZZ Metal Coatings segment are expected to increase slightly due to zinc inflationary pressures. Fluctuations in product mix, along with competitive market pressures, may impact selling price.

•Sales prices in our AZZ Precoat Metals segment are expected to stay consistent with current levels, although fluctuations in mix may impact the average selling price.

•Demand in our AZZ Metal Coatings and AZZ Precoat Metals segments is expected to follow our typical seasonal patterns.

•Volumes for our AZZ Metal Coatings segment remain at normal seasonal levels, which should support the continued demand for our metal coatings solutions.

•Customer inventories for our AZZ Precoat Metals segment remain at normal seasonal levels, which should support the continued demand for our coil coating solutions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions to a broad range of end-markets, predominantly in North America. We operate three distinct business segments, the AZZ Metal Coatings segment, the AZZ Precoat Metals segment, and the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is organized by segment, along with corporate costs and other costs not specifically identifiable to a segment. Management believes that the most meaningful analysis of our results of operations is to analyze our performance by segment. We use sales and operating income by segment to evaluate the performance of our segments. Segment operating income consists of sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment.

(1)	The AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment includes the equity in earnings from our investment in the AVAIL JV, as well as other expenses related to receivables and liabilities that were retained following the sale of the AIS business.
(2)	Interest expense and Income tax expense are included in the Corporate segment as these items are not allocated to the segments.
(3)	On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of Rig-A-Lite. The three months ended August 31, 2026 includes $7.9 million, which represents the gain related to the sale of Rig-A-Lite. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of the Electrical Products Group. The three months ended August 31, 2025 includes $61.6 million, which represents the gain related to the sale of the EPG, partially offset by an impairment loss on the AVAIL JV and an adjustment related to a change in AVAIL's transfer pricing policy. For additional information about the AVAIL JV, see "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8."

31

For the current quarter, we recorded sales of $486.9 million, compared to the prior year quarter of $417.3 million. Of total sales for the current quarter, 48.0% were generated from the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and 52.0% from the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. Net income for the current quarter was $58.5 million, compared to $89.3 million for the prior year quarter. Net income as a percentage of sales was 12.0% for the current quarter compared to 21.4% for the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per common share decreased by 34.2%, to $1.94 per share for the current quarter, compared to $2.95 per share for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV in the prior year quarter, which included a significant gain from AVAIL's sale of the Electrical Products Group ("EPG"), which was recorded in "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary."

Sales

Sales for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $43.5 million, or 22.9%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $34.5 million increase resulting from a higher volume of steel processed, driven by increases in the construction, industrial, infrastructure, and transportation end markets; a $6.5 million increase in average selling price, primarily in response to inflationary pressures; and a $2.5 million increase in other sales.

Sales for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment increased $26.1 million, or 11.5%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a higher volume of coils coated, driven by increases in the construction and container end markets (including the continued ramp-up at the Washington, Missouri facility), partially offset by decreases in HVAC and appliances, transportation, and other end markets. The increase in sales was also driven by an increase in the average price of coils coated, primarily due to vendor price increases that were passed through to customers and product mix.

Operating Income

For the current quarter, consolidated operating income was $83.8 million, an increase of $15.3 million, or 22.4%, compared to the prior year quarter.

Operating income for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $12.4 million, or 23.9%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was due to increased sales as described above, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales. The $30.5 million increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an $11.3 million increase in zinc costs, an $8.5 million increase in variable overhead costs and a $6.1 million increase in labor costs, both driven by a higher volume of steel processed during the current quarter, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in other direct costs. The increase in cost of sales also included an increase in fixed costs of $4.8 million, primarily related to utilities and lease costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.6 million.

Operating income for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment increased $6.8 million, or 18.7%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was due to increased sales as described above, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales. The $18.2 million increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an $11.4 million increase in material costs driven by higher sales volume and increases in paint prices, a $2.0 million increase in labor costs, and a $4.8 million increase in overhead and other direct costs, driven by higher sales volume during the current quarter. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.1 million.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million, or 19.7%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in acquisition costs related to the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition and $1.3 million in higher compensation-related and other corporate expenses, primarily driven by stock-based compensation, salaries and wages, and travel expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the current quarter decreased $2.9 million, to $10.8 million, compared to $13.7 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $131.9 million decrease in weighted average debt outstanding and a 98 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate, from 6.20% in the prior year quarter to 5.22% in the current quarter. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest expense related to the Company’s finance leases.

32

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiary

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary for the current quarter decreased $52.6 million, to $6.7 million, compared to $59.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a gain on the sale of AVAIL's EPG in the prior year quarter and lower ongoing equity in earnings in the current quarter, partially offset by a gain on the sale of AVAIL's Rig-A-Lite business in the current quarter and the recognition of an impairment loss on the AVAIL JV in the prior year quarter. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—AVAIL JV" section below for more information about the AVAIL JV.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 21.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year three-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) in fiscal 2027.

See "Item I. Financial Statements—Note 15."
(5)	On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of Rig-A-Lite. The six months ended August 31, 2026 includes a $8.0 million gain related to the sale of Rig-A-Lite. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of the EPG. The six months ended August 31, 2025 includes $227.5 million, which represents the gain related to the sale of the EPG business, offset by the recognition of an impairment loss on the AVAIL JV and an adjustment related to a change in AVAIL's transfer pricing policy. For additional information about the AVAIL JV, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—AVAIL JV."

34

For the current six-month period, we recorded sales of $935.4 million, compared to the prior year six-month period of $839.2 million. Of total sales for the current six-month period, 47.4% were generated from the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and 52.6% from the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. Net income for the current six-month period was $110.5 million, compared to $260.3 million for the prior year six-month period. Net income as a percentage of sales was 11.8% for the six-month period compared to 31.0% for the prior year six-month period. Diluted earnings per common share decreased by 57.5%, to $3.66 per share for the current six-month period, compared to $8.61 per share for the prior year six-month period. The decrease was primarily due to higher equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV in the prior year six-month period, which included a significant gain from AVAIL's sale of the EPG, partially offset by a gain from AVAIL's sale of Rig-A-Lite in the current six-month period.

Sales

Sales for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $66.6 million, or 17.7%, for the current six-month period, compared to the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to a $56.6 million increase resulting from a higher volume of steel processed, primarily driven by increases in the construction and industrial end markets; a $6.2 million increase in average selling price, primarily in response to inflationary pressures; and a $3.8 million increase in other sales, primarily due to by-product sales related to zinc.

Sales for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment increased $29.6 million, or 6.4%, for the current six-month period, compared to the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average price of coils coated, primarily due to vendor price increases that were passed through to customers and product mix. The increase in sales was partially offset by a lower volume of coils coated, driven by decreases in construction, HVAC and appliances, infrastructure, transportation, and other end markets, partially offset by increases in the container end market, driven by continued ramp-up at the Washington, Missouri facility.

Operating Income

For the current six-month period, consolidated operating income increased $22.8 million, or 16.5%, to $160.8 million, compared to the prior year six-month period.

Operating income for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $18.2 million, or 17.8%, for the current six-month period, compared to the prior year six-month period. The increase was due to increased sales as described above, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales. The $47.6 million increase in cost of sales was primarily due to a $17.5 million increase in zinc costs, a $11.9 million increase in variable overhead costs, and a $9.8 million increase in labor costs, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in other direct costs. The increase in cost of sales also included $8.9 million of higher fixed overhead costs, primarily related to insurance costs, utilities, lease costs, and employee benefits. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.8 million.

Operating income for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment increased $9.0 million, or 11.9%, for the current six-month period, compared to the prior year six-month period. The increase was due to increased sales as described above, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales. The $19.7 million increase in cost of sales was primarily due to a $9.3 million increase in material costs driven by increases in paint prices, a $3.7 million increase in labor costs, and a $6.7 million increase in overhead and other direct costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.9 million, primarily due to professional services, payroll-related costs, and equity-based compensation.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million, or 11.2%, for the current six-month period, compared to the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in acquisition costs related to the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition and $1.9 million in other corporate expenses, primarily driven by salary and wage increases, travel expenses, director fees, and payroll-related costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the current six-month period decreased $10.2 million, to $22.1 million, compared to $32.2 million for the prior year six-month period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $248.1 million decrease in weighted average debt outstanding and a 126 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate, from 6.49% in the prior year six-month period to 5.23% in the current six-month period. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest expense related to Company's finance leases, debt financing cost amortization, and lower capitalized interest.

35

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated subsidiary

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary decreased $225.6 million, to $7.3 million, for the current six-month period, compared to $232.9 million in the prior year six-month period. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a gain on the sale of AVAIL's EPG in the prior year six-month period and lower ongoing earnings following the divestiture of AVAIL's EPG and WSI businesses, partially offset by the recognition of an impairment loss on the AVAIL JV in the prior year six-month period and the recognition of a gain on the sale of AVAIL's Rig-A-Lite business in the current six-month period. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—AVAIL JV" section below for more information about the AVAIL JV.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 24.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 23.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year six-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), partially offset by higher tax deductions for stock compensation in fiscal 2027.

36

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities along with bank and bond market debt. Our cash requirements generally include working capital needs, capital improvements, quarterly cash dividends, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Based on our current financial condition and current operations, we believe that our cash position, cash flows from operating activities and our expectation of continuing availability to draw upon our credit facilities are sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.

As of August 31, 2026, our total liquidity of $376.4 million consisted of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $374.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows by category for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2026		2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	139,991	$	373,169
Net cash used in investing activities	(78,893)		(66,491)
Net cash used in financing activities	(59,981)		(306,614)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended August 31, 2026 decreased by $233.2 million compared to the six months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to:

•a decrease in cash distributions from the AVAIL JV of $273.2 million, following AVAIL's sale of its EPG business,

•a decrease in net income of $149.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV,

•a decrease in cash from working capital of $25.5 million, related to decreases in income tax payable and accrued expenses, coupled with an increase in inventories, accounts receivable, and contract assets, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable; and

•a decrease in cash flows from deferred income taxes of $13.2 million, primarily due to cash tax savings recognized in the prior year resulting from the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill; partially offset by

•a decrease in non-cash equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV of $225.6 million, primarily due to equity in earnings related to the AVAIL JV's sale of its EPG business in the prior year,

•an increase in non-cash expenses of $2.0 million, primarily due to restructuring expenses recognized in the prior year, as well as share-based compensation expense, a decrease in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense, partly due to the new aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri and an increase in amortization of debt financing costs due to the write-off following the refinancing of the 2022 Credit Agreement, and

•an increase in cash flows from long-term assets and liabilities of $0.9 million, primarily due to decreases in long-term lease liabilities and other long-term liabilities,

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2026 increased by $12.4 million compared to the prior six months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to:

•an increase in cash used of $27.4 million due to the acquisition of Seattle Galvanizing on July 30, 2026, and

•a decrease of $3.7 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by

•an increase of $15.7 million in proceeds from return of investment from the AVAIL JV; and

•a decrease of $3.0 million in capital expenditures, primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures for our Precoat Metals segment, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures for our Metal Coatings segment.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2026 decreased by $246.6 million compared to the prior six months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to:

•a decrease in net payments on long-term debt and finance leases of $274.5 million, and

•a decrease in debt financing costs paid of $0.2 million, partially offset by

•an increase in repurchase of treasury stock of $20.0 million,

•an increase in tax payments related to common stock issued under stock-based plans of $6.1 million,

•an increase in dividend payments of $2.1 million, reflecting an increase in the quarterly cash dividend per share compared to the prior year quarter.

Financing and Capital

2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B

We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders, entered into on May 13, 2022 and amended from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "2022 Credit Agreement").

The 2022 Credit Agreement includes the following significant terms:

i.provides for a senior secured initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion (the "Term Loan B"), due May 13, 2029, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company; as of August 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $335.0 million;

ii.provides for a maximum senior secured Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), due May 7, 2029 (following the amendment on May 7, 2026, as described below);

iii.includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million, which is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Credit Facility;

iv.borrowings under the Term Loan B bear an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% and the Revolving Credit Facility bears a leverage-based rate with various tiers between 1.25% and 2.25%; as of August 31, 2026, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.50%;

v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investments and dividends, subject to various exceptions; and,

vi.includes a maximum quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant, with reporting requirements to our banking group at each quarter-end.

On May 7, 2026, we amended our 2022 Credit Agreement to change the following terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

i.extended the maturity date of our Revolving Credit Facility from May 31, 2026 to May 7, 2029;

ii.added JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Capital Markets LLC as additional lenders, and removed Citibank N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC as lenders;

iii.reduced the interest rate tiers from a range of SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75% to a range of SOFR plus 1.25% to 2.25%; and

iv.reduced the leverage-based commitment fee tiers from a range of 0.20% to 0.30% to a range of 0.15% to 0.25%.

In connection with the amendment, approximately 37.50% of the aggregate principal amount was reallocated to the new lenders. We evaluated the amendment under the guidance in ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded that the amendment represented a modification at the instrument level, as the quantitative 10% cash flow test was not met. However, the lender reallocation resulted in a partial extinguishment at the lender level. As a result, for the six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized a write-off of approximately $0.6 million of unamortized debt financing costs, which is included in "Interest expense, net" on our consolidated statement of operations and in "Amortization of debt financing costs" on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

We primarily utilize proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to finance timing fluctuations of working capital needs, capital improvements, quarterly cash dividends, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

As defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, quarterly prepayments were due against the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B and were payable on the last business day of each May, August, November and February, beginning August 31, 2022, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $3.25 million, with the entire remaining principal amount due on May 13, 2029, the maturity date. Additional prepayments made against the Term Loan B contributed to these required quarterly payments. Due to prepayments made against the Term Loan B since August 31, 2022, the quarterly mandatory principal payment requirement has been met, and the quarterly payments of $3.25 million are no longer required.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On July 10, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement secured by our trade accounts receivable and contract assets (the "Receivables Securitization Facility"). Under this arrangement, we transferred our trade receivables to a special purpose entity ("SPE"), which in turn pledged those receivables as collateral for borrowings under the facility. The transaction does not qualify as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing; as a result, the arrangement is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

38

Accordingly, the receivables transferred to the SPE will remain on our consolidated balance sheet within trade accounts receivable and contract assets, and the Receivables Securitization Facility is included in "Long-term debt, net." The Receivables Securitization Facility has a limit of $150.0 million and is due July 10, 2028. As of August 31, 2026, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $271.1 million, consisting of $166.1 million in trade accounts receivable and $105.0 million in contract assets, with outstanding borrowings of $150.0 million. The interest rate on the Receivables Securitization Facility is one-month SOFR plus 0.95%.

We remain exposed to the credit risk associated with the underlying receivables and are responsible for their collection. The Receivables Securitization Facility includes provisions that allow the SPE to take control of the assets only in the event of bankruptcy or violation of servicing the secured accounts receivable. We continuously monitor these provisions to ensure compliance and availability under the facility.

The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.

Debt Compliance and Outstanding Borrowings

Our 2022 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) no greater than 4.5. We are also required to maintain certain covenants under the Receivables Securitization Facility. As of August 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.

The weighted-average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and the Receivables Securitization Facility was 5.23% and 5.94% as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.15% and 0.25% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2026, the commitment fee rate was 0.175%.

As of August 31, 2026, we had $500.0 million of debt outstanding, with varying maturities through fiscal 2030. We had approximately $374.4 million of additional credit available as of August 31, 2026.

Letters of Credit

As of August 31, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $10.6 million. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support insurance deductibles and other collateral requirements.

Interest Rate Swap

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. On June 30, 2025, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement (the "2025 Swap"). The 2025 Swap converts the SOFR-based component of the interest rate to 3.759%. As of August 31, 2026, the 2025 Swap resulted in a total fixed rate of 5.509%. The 2025 Swap has a notional amount of $290.0 million and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. The objective of the 2025 Swap is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates. The hedged risk is the interest rate risk exposure to changes in interest payments, attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates over the interest rate swap term. The changes in cash flows of the interest rate swap are expected to exactly offset changes in cash flows of the variable-rate debt. We designated the 2025 Swap as a cash flow hedge at inception. Cash settlements, in the form of cash payments or cash receipts, of the 2025 Swap are recognized in "Interest expense, net" in the consolidated statement of operations.

AVAIL JV

We account for our 40% interest in the AVAIL JV under the equity method of accounting and include our equity in earnings as part of the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. We record our equity in earnings in the AVAIL JV on a one-month lag.

On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of its industrial lighting business, Rig-A-Lite.

As of August 31, 2026, our investment in the AVAIL JV was $11.5 million. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recorded $6.8 million and $7.3 million of equity in earnings, respectively. The majority of the equity in earnings related to the recognition of our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of Rig-A-Lite. During both the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, our proportionate share of equity in earnings (loss) from AVAIL JV operations was not significant.

39

We classify cash flows from distributions using the cumulative earnings method. Cash received is classified as a return on investment and included in operating cash flows to the extent that cumulative earnings exceed cumulative distributions, less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we received $15.7 million in distributions, which were deemed to be returns on investment and reflected in cash flows from operating activities.

Share Repurchase Program

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we repurchased 136,303 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $146.71 under the 2020 Authorization. As of August 31, 2026, there was $13.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program. As of August 31, 2026, there was $100.0 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program. See "Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds."

Other Exposures

We have exposure to commodity price increases in all three of our operating segments, primarily zinc and natural gas in the AZZ Metal Coatings segment, and natural gas, steel, and aluminum in the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. We attempt to minimize these increases by entering into agreements with our zinc suppliers and such agreements generally include fixed premiums, and by entering into agreements with our natural gas suppliers to fix a portion of our purchase cost. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing process, supply chain management, and through increases in prices to match inflationary increases where competitively feasible. We have indirect exposure to copper, aluminum, steel and nickel-based alloys in the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment through our 40% investment in the AVAIL JV.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of August 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules. Specifically, there were no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in "Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See "Item I. Financial Statements—Note 1" for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the actual and expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition, which is incorporated herein by reference.

40

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the "Adjusted Earnings Measures"), which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency when comparing operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, prospects for future capital investment and debt reduction. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In calculating adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, management excludes the following items from the reported GAAP measure: 1) intangible asset amortization, 2) restructuring charges, 3) acquisition costs, 4) additional stock compensation expense related to the adoption of our executive retiree long-term incentive program, 5) certain adjustments related to the Company's unconsolidated joint venture, and 6) the write-off of debt financing costs. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest and provision for income taxes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt, as well as its capacity for making capital expenditures in the future.

Management provides non-GAAP financial measures for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the Company's GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider these measures in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and undue reliance should not be placed on these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The following tables provide a reconciliation for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025 from the non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Measures to the most comparable measures, calculated in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to our market risk disclosures set forth in "Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

AZZ and its subsidiaries are named defendants and plaintiffs in various routine lawsuits incidental to our business. These proceedings include labor and employment claims, various commercial disputes, worker’s compensation and environmental matters, all arising in the normal course of business. As discovery progresses on all outstanding legal matters, we continuously evaluate opportunities to either mediate the cases or settle the disputes for nuisance value or the cost of litigation as a way to resolve the disputes prior to trial. As the pending cases progress through additional discovery and potential mediation, our assessment of the likelihood of a favorable or an unfavorable outcome on the pending lawsuits may change. The actual outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the amount of any potential liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other matters cannot be predicted at this time. Therefore, management, after consultation with legal counsel believes it has strong claims or defenses to all of its legal matters and does not expect liabilities, if any, from these claims or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For further discussion of the Company's legal proceedings, see "Part 1. Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 18."

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. See the discussion of the Company’s risk factors under "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock (the "2020 Authorization"). Repurchases under the 2020 Authorization will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

On January 22, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program (the "2026 Share Repurchase Program") pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock. Repurchases under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

46

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we repurchased 136,303 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $146.71 under the 2020 Authorization. As of August 31, 2026, there was $13.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program.

See Note 7 for information about the Company's operations by segment. See Note 8 for additional information about the AVAIL JV.

Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2026, was derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 22, 2026. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Our fiscal year ends on the last day of February and is identified as the fiscal year for the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, is referred to as fiscal 2027.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses

The balance of trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses was $179.1 million, $142.6 million, and $135.1 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively.

The Company has elected the practical expedient for estimating credit losses for contract assets and accounts receivable that assumes the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that permits entities, when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective March 1, 2026, and the adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies the applicability of the interim reporting guidance, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements, but rather to provide clarity and improve the navigability of the existing interim reporting guidance. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-11 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities ("ASU 2025-10"), which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. ASU 2025-10 provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. ASU 2025-10 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-10 for the interim period ending May 31, 2029, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06") which updates the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (referred to as "internal-use software"). ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-06 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which expands disclosures about a public entity's expenses, including inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses and other expense categories. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for companies with a non-calendar year end. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 or ASU 2025-01 to affect our financial position or our results of operations, but ASU 2024-03 will result in additional disclosures for our annual reporting period ending February 29, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2029.

Acquisitions

2. Acquisitions

Seattle Galvanizing

On July 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Seattle Galvanizing Company, LLC ("Seattle Galvanizing"), a privately held provider of hot-dip and spin galvanizing solutions headquartered in Arlington, Washington, for a total purchase price of approximately $57.5 million. The acquisition expanded our geographic coverage into the Pacific Northwest. The business is included in the AZZ Metal Coatings segment. The goodwill arising from this acquisition was allocated to the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the finance lease liability recognized in connection with the acquisition.

The allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition is preliminary and subject to revision during the measurement period, which extends up to one year from the acquisition close date. The valuation of identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and the related deferred tax effects remain incomplete pending receipt of third-party valuation analyses. The preliminary allocation below was made using estimates based on information available at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. We believe these estimates are reasonable; however, the estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available, and any adjustments to preliminary amounts will be reflected as measurement period adjustments in the period in which they are identified.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in aggregate, related to the Seattle Galvanizing acquisition, as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

Canton Galvanizing

On July 1, 2025, we completed the acquisition of all the assets of Canton Galvanizing, LLC ("Canton Galvanizing"), a privately held hot-dip galvanizing company based in Canton, Ohio, for a total purchase price of approximately $30.1 million. The acquisition expanded our geographic coverage and metal coatings capacity and further strengthened our network of facilities in the Midwest region of the United States. The business is included in the AZZ Metal Coatings segment. The goodwill arising from this acquisition was allocated to the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Canton Galvanizing acquisition has been finalized. Intangible assets subject to amortization from the acquisition consist of customer relationships. The total weighted-average amortization period for these assets is 15 years, and the assets have no residual value.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in aggregate, related to the Canton Galvanizing acquisition, as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

	July 1, 2025
Assets
Accounts receivable	$	1,409

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended August 31,				Six Months Ended August 31,
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Numerator:
Net income	$	58,451	$	89,346	$	110,457	$	260,254
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share	29,997		30,037		29,964		29,992
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee stock awards	126		207		181		251
Denominator for diluted earnings per share	30,123		30,244		30,145		30,243
Basic earnings per common share	$	1.95	$	2.97	$	3.69	$	8.68
Diluted earnings per common share	$	1.94	$	2.95	$	3.66	$	8.61

For the three months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, 54.1 thousand and 22.3 thousand shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, 52.1 thousand and 22.3 thousand shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. These shares could be dilutive in future periods.

(1) Other includes less significant markets, such as recreation, sales from recycling and other miscellaneous customer industries.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, we revised our disaggregated sales categories to better reflect our current business operations. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, customer industry categories have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on total sales. See Note 7 for sales information by operating segment.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets (unbilled receivables), and contract liabilities (customer advances and deposits) on the consolidated balance sheets. Our contract assets and contract liabilities are primarily related to the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. Customer billing can occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. In addition, we can receive advances from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The changes in contract assets and contract liabilities during the six months ended August 31, 2026, were primarily due to normal timing differences between AZZ's performance and customer payments. Contract liabilities of $0.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively, are included in "Other accrued liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets was $107.3 million, $112.8 million, and $106.5 million as of August 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized $0.5 million of revenue that was included in contract liabilities as of February 28, 2026.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations ("RUPO") represent the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The amount of RUPO increases with new contracts or additions to existing contracts and decreases as revenue is recognized on existing contracts. Contracts are included in the amount of RUPO when an enforceable agreement has been reached. We have elected the practical expedient to exclude remaining performance obligations with a duration of one year or less. We have a long-term customer contract related to the aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri that includes RUPO through fiscal year 2031. The amounts associated with remaining performance obligations are subject to variability based on customer ordering patterns, production capacity, and contractual provisions. As of August 31, 2026, the amount of RUPO that we expect to recognize as revenue is not significant for any year through fiscal year 2031.

Segment Information

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Sales and operating income are the primary measures used by the CODM to evaluate segment operating performance and to allocate resources to the AZZ Metal Coatings and the AZZ Precoat Metals segments. The CODM uses income before income taxes as the primary measure to evaluate performance and allocate resources to the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. The CODM assesses these metrics and compares actuals to budgeted and forecasted values to evaluate segment operating performance and allocate resources to the operating segments. Expenses related to certain centralized administration or executive functions that are not specifically related to an operating segment are included in Corporate.

A summary of each of our operating segments is as follows:

AZZ Metal Coatings — provides hot-dip galvanizing, spin galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing and plating, and other metal coating applications to the steel fabrication industry and other industries through facilities located throughout North America. Hot-dip galvanizing is a metallurgical manufacturing process in which molten zinc reacts with steel, which provides corrosion protection and extends the lifecycle of fabricated steel for several decades.

AZZ Precoat Metals — provides coil coating application of protective and decorative coatings and related value-added downstream processing for steel and aluminum coils. Primarily serving the construction; infrastructure; transportation; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and appliances; container; and other end markets, the coil coating process emphasizes sustainability and enhanced product lifecycles. It involves cleaning, treating, painting, and curing metal coils as a flat material before they are cut, formed, and fabricated into finished products. This highly efficient method optimizes waste through tight film control and improves final product performance by painting and curing the substrates under conditions unmatched by other application processes.

AZZ Infrastructure Solutions — represents our 40% non-controlling interest in the AVAIL JV, as well as other expenses directly related to AIS receivables and liabilities that were retained following the divestiture of the AIS business.

For the six months ended August 31, 2026, the AVAIL JV's operations consisted primarily of Rig-A-Lite Group ("Rig-A-Lite"), a provider of industrial and hazardous-duty lighting products, and WSI Brazil, a provider of specialized welding, maintenance, and asset integrity solutions serving the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial markets. On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of Rig-A-Lite. For the three months ended August 31, 2025, the AVAIL JV's operations consisted of Rig-A-Lite and WSI. For the six months ended August 31, 2025, AVAIL's operations also included the Electrical Products Group ("EPG"), which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 8 for more information about the AVAIL JV.

8. Investments in Unconsolidated Entity

AVAIL JV

We account for our 40% interest in the AVAIL JV under the equity method of accounting and include our equity in earnings as part of the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment. We record our equity in earnings in the AVAIL JV on a one-month lag.

On May 14, 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of its industrial lighting business, Rig-A-Lite.

As of August 31, 2026, our investment in the AVAIL JV was $11.5 million. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recorded $6.8 million and $7.3 million of equity in earnings, respectively. The majority of the equity in earnings related to the recognition of our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of Rig-A-Lite. During both the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, our proportionate share of equity in earnings (loss) from AVAIL JV operations was not significant.

The following tables summarize balance sheet and income statement information for the AVAIL JV (in thousands):

(1)	We report our equity in earnings on a one-month lag basis; therefore, amounts in the summarized financials above are as of and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025 and as of January 31, 2026.
(2)	Amounts in the table above exclude certain adjustments made by us to record equity in earnings of the AVAIL JV under U.S. GAAP for public companies, primarily to reverse the amortization of goodwill. The three and six months ended August 31, 2026 reflects operations from AVAIL's Rig-A-Lite business and WSI Brazil business.
(3)	AVAIL's net income for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 includes a net gain of $25.7 million on the sale of the Rig-A-Lite business. Our proportionate share of this gain includes adjustments for the prior reversal of goodwill amortization related to the Rig-A-Lite business.

Distributions from the AVAIL JV

We classify cash flows from distributions using the cumulative earnings method. Cash received is classified as a return on investment and included in operating cash flows to the extent that cumulative earnings exceed cumulative distributions, less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we received $15.7 million in distributions, which were deemed to be a return of investment and reflected in cash flows from investing activities. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, we received $273.2 million in distributions, which were deemed to be a return on investment and reflected in cash flows from operating activities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

9. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Derivative

As a policy, we do not hold, issue, or trade derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We periodically enter into forward contracts to purchase a specified volume of zinc and natural gas at fixed prices. These contracts are not accounted for as derivatives because they meet the criteria for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. On June 30, 2025, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement (the "2025 Swap"). The 2025 Swap converts the SOFR-based component of the interest rate to 3.759%. As of August 31, 2026, the 2025 Swap resulted in a total fixed rate of 5.509%. The 2025 Swap has a notional amount of $290.0 million and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. The objective of the 2025 Swap is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates. The hedged risk is the interest rate risk exposure to changes in interest payments, attributable to changes in benchmark one-month SOFR interest rates over the interest rate swap term. The changes in cash flows of the interest rate swap are expected to exactly offset changes in cash flows of the variable-rate debt. We designated the 2025 Swap as a cash flow hedge at inception. Cash settlements, in the form of cash payments or cash receipts, of the 2025 Swap are recognized in "Interest expense, net" in the consolidated statement of operations.

At August 31, 2026, changes in fair value attributable to the effective portion of the 2025 Swap were included on the consolidated balance sheets in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss." For derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the fair value is recognized on our consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities with offsetting changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until reclassified into earnings when the related interest expense is recognized. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we reclassified $0.14 million before income tax, or $0.11 million net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the 2025 Swap.

2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B

We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders, entered into on May 13, 2022 and amended from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "2022 Credit Agreement").

The 2022 Credit Agreement includes the following significant terms:

i.provides for a senior secured initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion (the "Term Loan B"), due May 13, 2029, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company; as of August 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $335.0 million;

ii.provides for a maximum senior secured Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), due May 7, 2029 (following the amendment on May 7, 2026, as described below);

iii.includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million, which is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Credit Facility;

iv.borrowings under the Term Loan B bear an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% and the Revolving Credit Facility bears a leverage-based rate with various tiers between 1.25% and 2.25%; as of August 31, 2026, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.50%;

v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investments and dividends, subject to various exceptions; and,

vi.includes a maximum quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant, with reporting requirements to our banking group at each quarter-end.

On May 7, 2026, we amended our 2022 Credit Agreement to change the following terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

i.extended the maturity date of our Revolving Credit Facility from May 31, 2026 to May 7, 2029;

ii.added JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Capital Markets LLC as additional lenders, and removed Citibank N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC as lenders;

iii.reduced the interest rate tiers from a range of SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75% to a range of SOFR plus 1.25% to 2.25%; and

iv.reduced the leverage-based commitment fee tiers from a range of 0.20% to 0.30% to a range of 0.15% to 0.25%.

In connection with the amendment, approximately 37.50% of the aggregate principal amount was reallocated to the new lenders. We evaluated the amendment under the guidance in ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded that the amendment represented a modification at the instrument level, as the quantitative 10% cash flow test was not met. However, the lender reallocation resulted in a partial extinguishment at the lender level. As a result, for the six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized a write-off of approximately $0.6 million of unamortized debt financing costs, which is included in "Interest expense, net" on our consolidated statement of operations and in "Amortization of debt financing costs" on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

We primarily utilize proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to finance timing fluctuations of working capital needs, capital improvements, quarterly cash dividends, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

As defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, quarterly prepayments were due against the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B and were payable on the last business day of each May, August, November and February, beginning August 31, 2022, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $3.25 million, with the entire remaining principal amount due on May 13, 2029, the maturity date. Additional prepayments made against the Term Loan B contributed to these required quarterly payments. Due to prepayments made against the Term Loan B since August 31, 2022, the quarterly mandatory principal payment requirement has been met, and the quarterly payments of $3.25 million are no longer required.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On July 10, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement secured by our trade accounts receivable and contract assets (the "Receivables Securitization Facility"). Under this arrangement, we transferred our trade receivables to a special purpose entity ("SPE"), which in turn pledged those receivables as collateral for borrowings under the facility. The transaction does not qualify as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing; as a result, the arrangement is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

Accordingly, the receivables transferred to the SPE will remain on our consolidated balance sheet within trade accounts receivable and contract assets, and the Receivables Securitization Facility is included in "Long-term debt, net." The Receivables Securitization Facility has a limit of $150.0 million and is due July 10, 2028. As of August 31, 2026, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $271.1 million, consisting of $166.1 million in trade accounts receivable and $105.0 million in contract assets, with outstanding borrowings of $150.0 million. The interest rate on the Receivables Securitization Facility is one-month SOFR plus 0.95%.

We remain exposed to the credit risk associated with the underlying receivables and are responsible for their collection. The Receivables Securitization Facility includes provisions that allow the SPE to take control of the assets only in the event of bankruptcy or violation of servicing the secured accounts receivable. We continuously monitor these provisions to ensure compliance and availability under the facility.

The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.

Debt Compliance, Outstanding Borrowings and Letters of Credit

Our 2022 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) no greater than 4.5. We are also required to maintain certain covenants under the Receivables Securitization Facility. As of August 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.

As of August 31, 2026, we had $500.0 million of debt outstanding, with varying maturities through fiscal 2030. We had approximately $374.4 million of additional credit available as of August 31, 2026.

As of August 31, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $10.6 million. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support insurance deductibles and other collateral requirements.

Other Disclosures

The weighted-average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and the Receivables Securitization Facility was 5.23% and 5.94% as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.15% and 0.25% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2026, the commitment fee rate was 0.175%.

Fair Value Measurements

11. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), certain of our assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: Observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1, or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data; or,

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

The carrying amount of our financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates the fair value of these instruments based upon either their short-term nature or their variable market rate of interest. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our financial instruments.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

Our derivative instrument consists of the 2025 Swap, which is considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The 2025 Swap is included in "Other assets" and "Other long-term liabilities" as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of the 2025 Swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including swap rates, spreads, and/or index levels and interest rate curves. See Note 9 for more information about the 2025 Swap.

Our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Investment in Joint Venture

The fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated AVAIL JV was determined using the income approach at the date on which we entered into the joint venture. The income approach uses discounted cash flow models that require various observable and unobservable inputs, such as operating margins, revenues, product costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, terminal-year values and risk-adjusted discount rates. These valuations resulted in Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements.

We assess our investment in the unconsolidated AVAIL JV for recoverability when events and circumstances are present that suggest there has been a decline in value, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its fair value.

Long-Term Debt

The fair values of our long-term debt instruments are estimated based on market values for debt issued with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. These valuations are Level 2 non-recurring fair value measurements.

The principal amount of our outstanding debt under the 2022 Credit Agreement was $350.0 million and $385.0 million at August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt was $350.8 million and $385.5 million at August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The estimated fair values of our outstanding debt were determined based on the present value of future cash flows using model-derived valuations that use observable inputs such as interest rates and credit spreads. The carrying amount of the Receivables Securitization Facility approximates the fair value.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

12. Leases

We are a lessee under various leases for facilities and equipment. As of August 31, 2026, we were the lessee for 164 operating leases and 173 finance leases with terms of 12 months or more. These leases are reflected in "Right-of-use assets," "Lease liability—short-term" and "Lease liability—long-term" in our consolidated balance sheets.

Our leases are primarily for (i) operating facilities, (ii) vehicles and equipment used in operations, (iii) facilities used for back-office functions, (iv) equipment used for back-office functions, and (v) temporary storage. The majority of our vehicle and equipment leases have both a fixed and variable component.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have a significant number of short-term leases, including month-to-month agreements. Our short-term lease agreements include expenses incurred hourly, daily, monthly and for other durations of time of one year or less. Our future lease commitments as of August 31, 2026, do not reflect all of our short-term lease commitments.

In connection with the acquisition of Seattle Galvanizing on July 30, 2026, the Company entered into lease agreements for certain land and building assets used in the acquired operations. The agreements include purchase obligations that require the Company to acquire the underlying properties upon expiration of the lease term. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the arrangements contain residual value guarantees and meet the criteria for finance lease classification. As of August 31, 2026, the Company recorded finance lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $29.3 million related to these arrangements.

The following table outlines the classification of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 (in thousands):

Income Taxes

13. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 21.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year three-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) in fiscal 2027.

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 24.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to 23.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher discrete R&D tax credits recorded during the prior year six-month period, a change in the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate and higher compensation limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), partially offset by higher tax deductions for stock compensation in fiscal 2027.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock (the "2020 Authorization"). Repurchases under the 2020 Authorization will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

On January 22, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program (the "2026 Share Repurchase Program") pursuant to which we may repurchase our common stock. Repurchases under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program will be made through open market or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow stock repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so. Currently, share repurchases may not exceed 6% of our market capitalization per fiscal year.

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we repurchased 136,303 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $146.71 under the 2020 Authorization. As of August 31, 2026, there was $13.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program. As of August 31, 2026, there was $100.0 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program.

Share-based Compensation

15. Share-based Compensation

Effective April 18, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") adopted the Executive Retiree LTI Program (the "ERP") to continue the vesting of annual equity awards to certain executive officers and other senior members of the management team as designated by the Compensation Committee, including the Company's named executive officers (a "Covered Executive" or collectively, the "Covered Executives"), upon qualified Retirement (as defined in the Company's 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan). The ERP is applicable to both annual restricted share unit awards and annual performance share unit awards granted to the Covered Executives pursuant to the Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Award Agreements and Performance Share Unit ("PSU") Award Agreements for the Covered Executives (collectively, the "Award Agreements") containing such provisions for the fiscal year 2026 long-term incentive equity awards.

Upon adoption of the ERP, the service requirement for executives who are currently eligible for retirement was met. As a result, we recognized additional stock-based compensation of $2.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025, upon the adoption of the ERP related to the RSU awards for Covered Executives who have achieved qualified retirement status.

Postemployment Benefits [Abstract]

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

16. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Pension and Employee Benefit Obligations

In our AZZ Precoat Metals segment, certain current or past employees participate in a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan"). Prior to the acquisition of AZZ Precoat Metals, benefit accruals were frozen for all participants. After the freeze, participants no longer accrued benefits under the Plan, and new hires of AZZ Precoat Metals are not eligible to participate in the Plan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to terminate the Plan. The Company intends to complete the termination through a combination of lump-sum distributions to active and terminated vested plan participants and the purchase of annuity contracts for current in-pay participants and those participants who do not elect a lump-sum distribution. The termination process is subject to regulatory requirements, including approval from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2028. The approval of the Plan termination does not result in an immediate settlement of the Company's pension obligation. The Company expects to recognize settlement accounting in future periods as individual settlement transactions occur. Upon settlement, the Company may be required to remeasure the Plan's projected benefit obligation and plan assets and may recognize in earnings a portion of the actuarial gains or losses currently recorded in AOCI. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the total financial impact of the Plan termination, including the timing and amount of any gains or losses that may be recognized in future periods. As of August 31, 2026, the Plan was underfunded, and we have a net pension obligation of $12.8 million, which is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets and represents the underfunded portion of the Plan.

The components of net benefit cost other than the employer service cost are included in "Selling, general and administrative" expense and were not significant for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. We paid employer contributions of $2.3 million into the Plan during the six months ended August 31, 2026. We expect to pay $1.0 million of contributions into the Plan during the remainder of fiscal year 2027.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

17. Restructuring Charges

No restructuring charges were recognized during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026.

During fiscal year 2026, management completed a restructuring plan for certain surface technologies facilities within the AZZ Metal Coatings segment (the "AST Restructuring") to improve overall operational efficiency and financial performance. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $3.8 million, which were recorded in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statement of operations, including the loss on the sale of equipment, for which we received $0.7 million in proceeds. The restructuring charges consisted of $3.3 million for the write-off of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as $0.5 million for the write-off of other assets and severance accruals.

As a result of the AST Restructuring, we closed two surface technologies facilities; the facilities were located in Garland, Texas and Tampa, Florida. Management performed an analysis of the assets at each location closed. For assets that were not sold or transferred to another location for use in operations, management wrote down the assets to reflect a decrease in estimated useful life and a reduction in fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

AZZ and its subsidiaries are named defendants and plaintiffs in various routine lawsuits incidental to our business. These proceedings include labor and employment claims, various commercial disputes, worker’s compensation and environmental matters, all arising in the normal course of business. As discovery progresses on all outstanding legal matters, we continuously evaluate opportunities to either mediate the cases or settle the disputes for nuisance value or the cost of litigation as a way to resolve the disputes prior to trial. As the pending cases progress through additional discovery and potential mediation, our assessment of the likelihood of a favorable or an unfavorable outcome on the pending lawsuits may change. The actual outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the amount of any potential liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other matters cannot be predicted at this time. Therefore, management, after consultation with legal counsel believes it has strong claims or defenses to all of its legal matters and does not expect liabilities, if any, from these claims or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In 2017, Southeast Texas Industries, Inc. ("STI") filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the Company in the 1st District Court of Jasper County, Texas (the "Court"). In 2020, we filed a counter-suit against STI for amounts due to AZZ Beaumont for work performed. On October 16, 2023, the case went to trial, and on October 27, 2023, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of STI and against AZZ in the amount of $4.5 million in damages for breach of contract and breach of express warranty. On February 14, 2024, the trial court entered Final Judgment in favor of STI, awarding STI actual damages of $4.5 million, plus $1.0 million in attorney fees. On May 14, 2024, we filed a Notice of Appeal in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont. AZZ has purchased a supersedeas bond to cover the final judgment amount during the appellate process. We filed our appellate brief on February 24, 2025. Oral arguments were presented by the parties to the Court of Appeals on March 5, 2026. On April 9, 2026, the Beaumont Court of Appeals ruled there was insufficient evidence to support the final judgment against AZZ, and that STI shall take nothing from AZZ. On August 26, 2026, STI filed a petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas. As of the date of this filing, we still have a legal accrual of $5.5 million recorded, which is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. This legal accrual will remain in place until the time the Supreme Court of Texas has declined to review the case as requested by STI, or makes a ruling on STI's petition on the merits, whichever scenario is applicable.

On May 1, 2026, Kaiser Aluminum Warrick LLC ("Kaiser") filed a complaint against Precoat Mezzanine LLC ("Precoat"), an indirectly held subsidiary of AZZ Inc., in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware alleging breach of contract and breach of express warranty, and seeking declaratory judgment. Kaiser has asserted that Precoat failed to fulfill its obligations under a Master Agreement for Procurement of Services entered into on October 9, 2024. Mediation was conducted on August 10, 2026, and although the parties did not fully resolve their commercial dispute at mediation, they mutually agreed to work together to enter into a new commercial contract. Precoat Metal’s deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the lawsuit (including the assertion of counterclaims) has been extended to October 14, 2026, while the parties determine if they will be able to negotiate a new commercial contract. We are unable to estimate a range of possible loss, if any, at this time.

Environmental

As of August 31, 2026, the reserve balance for our environmental liabilities was $17.1 million, of which $1.7 million is classified as current. Environmental remediation liabilities include costs directly associated with site investigation and site remediation, such as materials, external contractor costs, legal and consulting expenses and incremental internal costs directly related to ongoing remediation plans. Estimates used to record environmental remediation liabilities are based on the Company's best estimate of probable future costs based on site-specific facts and circumstances known at the time of these estimates. These estimates are updated quarterly. The cost estimates for the potential or ongoing remediation plans are developed using internal resources and third-party environmental engineers and consultants.

We accrue the anticipated cost of environmental remediation when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. While any revisions to our environmental remediation liabilities could potentially be material to the operating results of any fiscal quarter or fiscal year, we do not expect such additional remediation expenses to have an adverse material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Consolidation

Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2026, was derived from audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 22, 2026. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Our fiscal year ends on the last day of February and is identified as the fiscal year for the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, is referred to as fiscal 2027.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that permits entities, when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective March 1, 2026, and the adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies the applicability of the interim reporting guidance, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendment does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements, but rather to provide clarity and improve the navigability of the existing interim reporting guidance. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-11 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities ("ASU 2025-10"), which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. ASU 2025-10 provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. ASU 2025-10 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-10 for the interim period ending May 31, 2029, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06") which updates the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (referred to as "internal-use software"). ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-06 for the interim period ending May 31, 2028, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which expands disclosures about a public entity's expenses, including inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses and other expense categories. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for companies with a non-calendar year end. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 or ASU 2025-01 to affect our financial position or our results of operations, but ASU 2024-03 will result in additional disclosures for our annual reporting period ending February 29, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2029.
