Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2025, 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, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 21, 2025. 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, 2026, is referred to as fiscal 2026.
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 November 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
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 Subtopic 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 July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05") which provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities, with an accounting policy election when estimating credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We expect to adopt ASU 2025-05 for the interim period ending May 31, 2026, and we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on our consolidated financial statements.

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.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect to adopt ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ending February 28, 2026, and the adoption will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
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 approximately $30.1 million. The acquisition expanded our geographical coverage in metal coatings capacity and further strengthens 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 purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition is preliminary and subject to revisions during the measurement period, up to one year from the date the acquisition closed. These determinations include the use of estimates based on information that was available at the time these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we made purchase price allocation adjustments that increased the fair value of identifiable intangible assets by $1.3 million and a corresponding decrease of $1.3 million to goodwill. We believe that the estimates used are reasonable; however, the estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
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 preliminary 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):

Our inventory reserves were $3.2 million and $3.9 million as of November 30, 2025 and February 28, 2025, respectively. Inventory cost is determined principally using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment and the specific identification method for the 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):

For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, 13.5 thousand and 34.8 thousand shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, 21.1 thousand and 56.1 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. For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, all shares related to the Series A Preferred Stock (1.0 million weighted average shares) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

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 increases in contract assets and contract liabilities during the nine months ended November 30, 2025 were primarily due to normal timing differences between AZZ's performance and invoicing. As of November 30, 2025 and February 28, 2025, the balance for contract assets was $110.4 million and $106.5 million, respectively, primarily related to the AZZ Precoat Metals segment. The increase was primarily due to the timing differences noted above.

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 net income 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; appliance; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); container; transportation; 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 — consists of the equity in earnings of our 40% investment 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. The AVAIL JV is a global provider of application-critical equipment, highly engineered technologies, and specialized services to the power generation, transmission, distribution, oil and gas, and industrial markets.

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. In May 2025, Avail Infrastructure Solutions ("AVAIL"), in which we have an unconsolidated investment through the AVAIL JV, completed the sale of its electrical enclosures, switchgear, and bus systems businesses (the "Electrical Products Group") to nVent Electric plc for a purchase price of $975.0 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we received a distribution of cash from the AVAIL JV of $273.2 million, which exceeded our investment in the AVAIL JV of $107.4 million. Since we are not liable for the obligations of the AVAIL JV nor otherwise committed to provide financial support, after reducing our investment in the AVAIL JV to zero, we recognized $165.8 million as a gain during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Due to the timing of the receipt of cash and the recognition of equity in earnings, we suspended the recognition of equity in earnings of the AVAIL JV as of May 31, 2025, until our proportionate share of earnings exceeded the excess distribution previously recognized in earnings. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recognized the equity in earnings from AVAIL related to our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of the Electrical Products Group. The equity in earnings was in excess of the amount we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Therefore, we resumed the recognition of equity in earnings of the AVAIL JV in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Following the recognition of our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of the Electrical Products Group and equity in earnings during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, management identified events and circumstances indicating that the fair value of the Company's investment in the AVAIL JV may have fallen below its carrying value on an other-than-temporary basis. These indicators arose principally from the significant business divestiture by AVAIL and a corresponding reduction in AVAIL's projected future earnings. In response, management performed a recoverability analysis of our investment in the AVAIL JV. Management estimated the fair value of our 40% interest in the AVAIL JV and concluded that the decline in fair value was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $45.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to write down the carrying value of our investment in the AVAIL JV. After recognizing the impairment loss, management believes the carrying value of the investment in the AVAIL JV is recoverable based on AVAIL's current financial position. We will continue to monitor the AVAIL JV for any indicators of impairment, and if further declines in the fair value occur and are deemed other-than-temporary, additional write-downs will be recorded.
As of November 30, 2025, our investment in the AVAIL JV was $58.6 million. For the nine months ended November 30, 2025, we recorded $231.4 million in equity in earnings, which consists of 1) $2.8 million of equity in earnings

from the AVAIL JV's operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, 2) $274.5 million of a net gain from the sale of the Electrical Products Group recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, offset by 3) an impairment loss of $45.9 million on the AVAIL JV recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

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 nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 and as of January 31, 2025. 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. AVAIL's net income for nine months ended October 31, 2025 includes a gain on the sale of Electrical Products Group of $697.5 million. Our proportionate share of the gain includes an adjustment for the previous reversal of the amortization of goodwill related to the Electrical Products Group.
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 sale 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 September 27, 2022, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement, which was subsequently amended on October 7, 2022 (the "2022 Swap"). The 2022 Swap was terminated on June 30, 2025. During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, we reclassified $0.1 million before income tax, or $0.07 million net of tax, from other comprehensive income to earnings related to the terminated 2022 Swap.
Simultaneous to the termination of the 2022 Swap, we entered into a new fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement on June 30, 2025 (the "2025 Swap"). The 2025 Swap converts the SOFR-based component of the interest rate to 3.759%. As of November 30, 2025, the 2025 Swap resulted in a total fixed rate of 5.509%. The 2025 Swap had an initial 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
At November 30, 2025, 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, to the extent effective, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until reclassified into earnings when the interest expense on the underlying debt is reflected in earnings. The portion of a cash flow hedge that does not offset the change in the fair value of the transaction being hedged, which is commonly referred to as the ineffective portion, is immediately recognized in earnings. During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, we reclassified $0.6 million before income tax, or $0.4 million net of tax, from other comprehensive income to earnings.

2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B
We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders that was entered into on May 13, 2022 and was subsequently amended on August 17, 2023, December 20, 2023, March 20, 2024, September 24, 2024, February 27, 2025, and August 5, 2025 (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 November 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $374.9 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 13, 2027;
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 1.75% and 2.75%; as of November 30, 2025, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.75%;
v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investment 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 August 5, 2025, we repriced the Term Loan B. The repricing reduced the margin from SOFR plus 2.50% to SOFR plus 1.75%.
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.

Table of Contents
AZZ INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 November 30, 2025, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $249.9 million, consisting of $141.1 million in trade accounts receivable and $108.8 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 will monitor these provisions to ensure ongoing compliance and availability under the facility.
The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.
The weighted average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and Receivables Securitization Facility was 6.16% and 7.77% for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.2% and 0.3% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of November 30, 2025, the commitment fee rate was 0.20%.
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 November 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.
As of November 30, 2025, we had $574.9 million of debt outstanding, with varying maturities through fiscal 2030. We had approximately $336.4 million of additional credit available as of November 30, 2025.
As of November 30, 2025, we had total outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $13.7 million. These letters of credit are issued for a number of reasons but are most commonly issued in lieu of customer retention withholding payments covering warranty, performance periods and insurance collateral.

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 made an option to elect fair value accounting for any of our financial instruments.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
Our derivative instruments consist of the 2025 Swap and the 2022 Swap, both of which are considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The 2025 Swap and the 2022 Swap are included in "Other long-term liabilities" as of November 30, 2025, and February 28, 2025, in the consolidated balance sheets. The valuations of the 2025 Swap and 2022 Swap are 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 derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including swap rates, spread, and/or index levels and interest rate curves. See Note 9 for more information about the 2025 and 2022 Swaps.
Our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2025 and February 28, 2025 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 non-observable 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.
During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, management performed a recoverability analysis on our investment in the AVAIL JV and concluded there was a decline in fair value that was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we

recorded a loss on impairment of $45.9 million, which is included in "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries" in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8.
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 $424.9 million and $900.3 million at November 30, 2025 and February 28, 2025, respectively. The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt was $426.5 million and $904.8 million at November 30, 2025, and February 28, 2025, 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 November 30, 2025, we were the lessee for 128 operating leases and 117 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 November 30, 2025, do not reflect all of our short-term lease commitments.

13. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 26.1% for the three months ended November 30, 2025, compared to 26.5% for the three months ended November 30, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate is driven by higher tax deductions for stock compensation, partially offset by an increase in non-deductible research expenses.

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 23.9% for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, compared to 24.8% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher R&D tax credits related to the construction of the new aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("the Act") that includes several U.S. corporate tax provisions, including the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property and the current deductibility of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The provisions of the Act did not have a material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate. We expect the provisions of the Act to result in a reduction in our fiscal 2026 cash tax payments.
14. Mezzanine Equity
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 9, 2024, we fully redeemed our 240,000 shares of 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $308.9 million. The payment was calculated as the face value of the Series A Preferred Stock of $240.0 million, multiplied by the Return Factor of 1.4, less dividends paid to date of $27.1 million. The redemption premium of $75.2 million, which was calculated as the difference between the redemption amount and the book value of $233.7 million, was recorded as a deemed dividend, and reduced net income available to common shareholders. The Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed using proceeds from the April 2024 Secondary Public Offering. See Note 15.
Dividends
The Series A Preferred Stock accumulated a 6.0% dividend per annum, or $15.00 per share per quarter. Dividends were payable in cash or in kind, by accreting and increasing the Series A Base Amount ("PIK Dividends"). Dividends were payable on the sum of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference amount of $240.0 million plus (ii) any PIK Dividends. Dividends

were accrued daily and paid quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Following the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2027, we were not able to elect PIK Dividends and dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock were required to be paid in cash. All dividends were paid in cash through May 9, 2024, at which time the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed. The dividend would have increased annually by one percentage point, beginning with the dividend payable for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2028. Dividends declared and paid for the nine months ended November 30, 2024, were $3.6 million.
15. Equity
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 allows 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 nine months ended November 30, 2025, we repurchased 201,416 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $99.28 under the 2020 Share Authorization. During the nine months ended November 30, 2024, we did not repurchase shares of common stock under the 2020 Share Authorization. As of November 30, 2025, there was $33.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization.

On April 30, 2024, we completed a secondary public offering in which we sold 4.6 million shares of our common stock at $70.00 per share (the "April 2024 Secondary Public Offering"). We received gross proceeds of $322.0 million, and paid offering expenses of $13.3 million, for net proceeds of $308.7 million. The proceeds from the April 2024 Offering were used to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

16. 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 such term is 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 newly adopted 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. To be eligible for continued vesting of these annual equity awards upon a qualified Retirement, the ERP requires that Covered Executives:
i.be at least 65 years of age or 55 years of age and have at least 10 years of service with AZZ;
ii.not receive any severance payments or be subject to any severance or employment agreements containing other retirement provisions;
iii.provide sufficient advance notice of their intent to retire prior to the planned retirement date;
iv.ensure adequate succession or continuity planning is in place for such Covered Executive's position;
v.be compliant with AZZ’s executive stock ownership requirements on their respective retirement date; and
vi.execute and deliver a waiver and release agreement. Additionally, a period of one year must have elapsed between the grant date of the applicable awards and the Covered Executive's retirement date. The ERP also provides that fiscal year 2023, fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 RSU and PSU award agreements will be amended for the Covered Executives to allow vesting subsequent to a qualified Retirement at the Compensation Committee's discretion.
Upon adoption of the ERP, the service requirement for executives that are currently eligible for retirement has been met. As a result, we recognized additional stock-based compensation for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, of $2.2 million upon the adoption of the ERP related to the RSUs for Covered Executives that have achieved qualified retirement status.
17. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Pension and Employee Benefit Obligations
In our Precoat Metals segment, certain current or past employees participate in a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan"). Prior to the acquisition of 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. As of November 30, 2025, the Plan was underfunded, and we have a net pension obligation of $18.8 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 three and nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. We paid employer contributions of $4.4 million into the Plan during the nine months ended November 30, 2025. We expect to pay $1.3 million of contributions into the Plan during the remainder of fiscal year 2026.
18. Restructuring Charges
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, management initiated a restructuring plan for certain surface technologies facilities within the Metal Coatings segment (the "AST Restructuring") to improve overall operational efficiency and financial performance. During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, we recognized restructuring charges of $3.8 million, which are included in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statement of operations and includes the loss on sale of equipment, for which we received $0.7 million in proceeds. The restructuring charges consisted primarily 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, loss on the sale of equipment and severance accruals. We recognized an immaterial amount of restructuring expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Our initial estimate of total restructuring charges of $4.2 million was reduced to $3.8 million as of November 30, 2025. We do not expect to recognize additional charges related to AST Restructuring. The AST Restructuring was complete as of November 30, 2025.

Table of Contents
AZZ INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a result of the AST Restructuring, we closed two surface technology 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 the estimated useful life and lower value to the Company.
19. 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 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 Beaumont in the amount of $5.5 million in damages for breach of contract and breach of express warranty. A final judgment amount was entered by the Court on February 14, 2024, and we purchased a supersedeas bond to cover the final judgment amount throughout the duration of the appellate process on May 23, 2024. We are still waiting on the trial transcript from the court reporter and the appellate process is tolled until the transcript is delivered to the parties. We believe we have strong grounds for an appeal and will pursue all available appellate options. The appeal process is expected to take up to two years. As of November 30, 2025, we have recorded a legal accrual of $5.5 million, which is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets, reflecting our best estimate of the probable loss. Our estimate of the probable loss may change throughout the appellate process.
In 2019, Tampa Electric Company ("TECO") entered into a contract to provide services in Florida. TECO terminated our affiliate from the project, alleging failure to comply with safety guidelines. We believe the affiliate was terminated for convenience on the project, and our affiliate was not given its contractual right of notice and 47 hours to deliver a corrective action plan. In 2020, we filed a lawsuit against TECO for breach of contract and unjust enrichment in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. In connection with AZZ selling the majority interest in the AIS business to Fernweh Group on September 30, 2022, we agreed to retain this lawsuit. The parties unsuccessfully mediated the case in June 2023. The case went to trial on January 13, 2025. On February 10, 2025, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of TECO against our affiliate in the amount of $5.2 million, which represented the receivable due from the TECO, net of allowance. We recognized expense of $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, consisting of $5.2 million for the derecognition of the net receivable from TECO and $1.3 million for estimated legal fees, of which $1.2 million was paid during the nine months ended November 30, 2025.
Environmental
As of November 30, 2025, the reserve balance for our environmental liabilities was $18.1 million, of which $1.6 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 and they are updated on a quarterly basis. Estimates of the cost 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
Capital Commitments—Greenfield Aluminum Coil Coating Facility
We are expanding our coatings capabilities through the construction of a new 25-acre aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The new greenfield facility is included in the AZZ Precoat Metals segment and is supported by a take-or-pay contract for approximately 75% of the output from the new plant. We expect to spend approximately $121.8 million in capital payments related to the project, of which $113.6 million was paid prior to fiscal 2026 and approximately $5.9 million was paid during the nine months ended November 30, 2025. The remaining balance of $2.3 million is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
20. Subsequent Events
On December 31, 2025, AVAIL, in which we have an unconsolidated investment through the AVAIL JV, completed the sale of the majority of its Welding Solutions LLC business (the “Welding Solutions Business”) to Pelican Energy Partners LP. Because the sale occurred subsequent to the reporting period, we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact of the sale on our consolidated financial statements.
Following the sale, we will continue to own a 40% interest in AVAIL, which will consist of AVAIL’s Industrial Lighting and the remaining Welding Solutions business.

Business Operations Update
Our results for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 (the "current nine-month period") were favorably impacted primarily by the recognition of equity in earnings for the AVAIL JV, which included the gain from AVAIL's sale of the Electrical Products Group business to nVent Electric plc., and by the growth in demand for our manufactured solutions in the utilities, construction and consumer industries.
The equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV was the primary contributor to net income of $301.3 million for the current nine-month period. Our operating results for the current nine-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 $452.9 million of cash for the current nine-month period. The components of our liquidity and descriptions of our cash flows, capital investments, and other utilities, construction and 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
Sales prices in our AZZ Metal Coatings and AZZ Precoat Metals segment are expected to remain consistent with current levels. Fluctuations in product mix, along with competitive market pressures, may impact 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 divided by each of our segments, 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.

Sales
For the three months ended November 30, 2025 (the "current quarter"), consolidated sales increased $22.1 million, or 5.5%, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2024 (the "prior year quarter").
Sales for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $26.4 million, or 15.7%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to $30.0 million resulting from a higher volume of steel processed and an increase in other sales of $2.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in selling price of $5.7 million due to product mix.
Sales for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment decreased $4.3 million, or 1.8% for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease is due to a lower volume of coil coated, partially offset by an increase in the average price due to vendor price increases that were passed through to the customer.
Operating Income
For the current quarter, consolidated operating income was $69.5 million, an increase of $10.9 million, or 18.7%, compared to the prior year quarter.
Operating income for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $5.7 million, or 12.3%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was due to increased sales as described above, offset by an increase in cost of sales. The increase in cost of sales of $20.3 million was primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in variable costs, a $5.5 million increase in zinc cost, and a $3.9 million increase in labor costs and an increase in other overhead costs of $4.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.3 million.
Operating income for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment decreased $1.2 million, or 3.2% for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales as described above. In addition, cost of sales decreased by $2.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in material costs related to the decreased volume of coil coated, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales for the new plant in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.4 million, or 25.8%, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries and wages, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, primarily due to retirement and other severance costs recognized in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the current quarter decreased $7.0 million, to $12.2 million, compared to $19.2 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding of $339.8 million and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate of 1.76% in the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense is partially offset by lower capitalized interest associated with the construction of the new plant in Washington, Missouri, for the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the current quarter decreased $8.6 million to a loss of $1.4 million, compared to income of $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to AVAIL's lower income for the quarter following the sale of the Electrical Products Group business. See "Item I. Financial Statements—Note 8" for more information about the AVAIL JV.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 26.1% for the current quarter, compared to 26.5% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate is driven by higher tax deductions for stock compensation, partially offset by an increase in non-deductible research expenses.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of the Electrical Products Group ("EPG") business to nVent Electric plc. The nine months ended November 30, 2025 includes $226.8 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. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—AVAIL JV."
Sales
For the current nine-month period, consolidated sales increased $39.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2024 (the "prior year nine-month period").
Sales for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $55.4 million, or 10.7%, for the current nine-month period, compared to the prior year nine-month period. The increase in sales was primarily due to an increase of $63.7 million resulting from a higher volume of steel processed during the period, partially offset by a decrease of $9.8 million in selling price, due to product mix. Other sales increased $1.5 million.
Sales for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment decreased $16.3 million, or 2.3% for the current nine-month period, primarily due to a lower volume of coil coated, partially offset by an increase in selling price due to vendor price increases that were passed through to the customer.
Operating Income
For the current nine-month period, consolidated operating income increased $11.6 million, or 5.9%, to $207.5 million, compared to the prior year nine-month period.
Operating income for the AZZ Metal Coatings segment increased $12.5 million, or 8.8% for the current nine-month period, compared to the prior year nine-month period. The increase was due to improved sales as described above, and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher cost of sales. Cost of sales increased $42.7 million, primarily due to an $8.0 million increase in labor costs, increased overhead costs of $22.8 million, and increased zinc costs of $11.9 million. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $0.2 million.
Operating income for the AZZ Precoat Metals segment decreased $7.9 million, or 6.6%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales as described above. In addition, cost of sales decreased by $7.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in material costs related to the decreased volume of coil coated, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales for the new plant in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Table of Contents
Corporate Expenses
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.0 million, or 10.7%, for the current nine-month period, compared to the prior year nine-month period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in compensation costs, primarily due to retirement and other severance costs recognized in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation in the current nine-month period, primarily due to the adoption of the Executive Retiree LTI Program and the acceleration of expense for the related stock awards.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the current nine-month period decreased $19.5 million, to $44.4 million, compared to $63.9 million for the prior year nine-month period. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding of $198.4 million and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate of 1.61% in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, partially offset by lower capitalized interest in the current nine-month period associated with the construction of the new plant in Washington, Missouri.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the current nine-month period increased $219.0 million, to $231.4 million, compared to $12.5 million in the prior year nine-month period. The increase is due to a gain from the sale of the Electrical Products Group, partially offset by an impairment loss recognized on the AVAIL JV in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and lower earnings following the sale of the electrical business. See "Item I. Financial Statements—Note 8" for more information about the AVAIL JV.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 23.9% for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 compared to 24.8% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher R&D tax credits related to the construction of the new aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("the Act") that includes several U.S. corporate tax provisions, including the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property and the current deductibility of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The provisions of the Act did not have a material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate. We expect the provisions of the Act to result in a reduction in our fiscal 2026 cash tax payments.

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 November 30, 2025, our total liquidity of $337.1 million consisted of available capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility of $336.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows by category for the periods presented (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended November 30,
20252024
Net cash provided by operating activities$452,872 $185,597 
Net cash used in investing activities(84,988)(85,100)
Net cash used in financing activities(368,327)(103,912)
Net cash provided by operating activities for the current nine-month period was $452.9 million, driven primarily by net income of $301.3 million, adjusted to exclude non-cash charges, net of non-cash income of $141.6 million, a cash distribution received on the investment in the AVAIL JV of $273.2 million, an increase in cash resulting from a decrease in working capital of $0.5 million, and an increase in cash resulting from changes in other long-term assets and liabilities, including deferred taxes, of $19.4 million. The decrease in working capital is due primarily to increases in accounts payable, income taxes payable, and decreased inventories, offset by increases in accounts receivable, contract assets, prepaid expenses and a decrease in accrued liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was used to fund $58.7 million of capital expenditures, fund an acquisition of $30.1 million, make net payments on long-term debt and finance leases of $327.1 million, repurchase $20.0 million of common stock, make dividend payments of $17.1 million and make payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $5.0 million. Other increases in cash included proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment of $3.9 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the prior year nine-month period was $185.6 million, driven primarily by net income of $108.6 million, adjusted to exclude non-cash charges, net of non-cash income of $69.1 million, an increase in cash resulting from a reduction in working capital of $2.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash resulting from changes in other long-term assets and liabilities, including deferred taxes, of $1.8 million and a cash distribution received on the investment in the AVAIL JV of $6.8 million. The reduction in working capital is due primarily to increases in accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and income taxes payable, as well as a reduction in inventories and accounts receivable; partially offset by increases in other receivables, prepaid expenses and contract assets due to higher sales. Net cash provided by operating activities was used to fund $85.9 million of capital expenditures, make net payments on long-term debt and finance leases liabilities of $82.2 million, make dividend payments of $18.0 million and make payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $5.0 million. We also completed a secondary public offering of 4.6 million shares of our common stock, which provided cash, net of offering costs, of $310.2 million, which was used to redeem our 240,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $308.9 million.
Financing and Capital
2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B
We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders that was entered into on May 13, 2022 and was subsequently amended on August 17, 2023, December 20, 2023, March 20, 2024, September 24, 2024, February 27, 2025, and August 5, 2025 (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 November 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $374.9 million;
37

Table of Contents
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 13, 2027;
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 1.75% and 2.75%; as of November 30, 2025, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.75%;
v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investment 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 August 5, 2025, we repriced the Term Loan B. The repricing reduced the margin from SOFR plus 2.50% to SOFR plus 1.75%.
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 November 30, 2025, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $249.9 million, consisting of $141.1 million in trade accounts receivable and $108.8 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 will monitor these provisions to ensure ongoing compliance and availability under the facility.
The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.
The weighted average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and Receivables Securitization Facility was 6.16% and 7.77% for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.2% and 0.3% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of November 30, 2025, the commitment fee rate was 0.20%.
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 November 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.
As of November 30, 2025, we had $574.9 million of debt outstanding, with varying maturities through fiscal 2030. We had approximately $336.4 million of additional credit available as of November 30, 2025.
38

Table of Contents
Letters of Credit
As of November 30, 2025, we had total outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $13.7 million. These letters of credit are issued for a number of reasons but are most commonly issued in lieu of customer retention withholding payments covering warranty, performance periods and insurance collateral.
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 September 27, 2022, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement, which was subsequently amended on October 7, 2022. The 2022 Swap was terminated on June 30, 2025.
Simultaneous to the termination of the 2022 Swap, we entered into a new fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement on June 30, 2025. The 2025 Swap converts the SOFR-based component of the interest rate to 3.759%. As of November 30, 2025, the 2025 Swap resulted in a total fixed rate of 5.509%. The 2025 Swap had an initial 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.
Capital Commitments—Greenfield Aluminum Coil Coating Facility
We are expanding our coatings capabilities through the construction of a new 25-acre aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri, which became operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The new greenfield facility is included in the AZZ Precoat Metals segment and is supported by a take-or-pay contract for approximately 75% of the output from the new plant. We expect to spend approximately $121.8 million in capital payments related to the project, of which $113.6 million was paid prior to fiscal 2026 and approximately $5.9 million was paid during the nine months ended November 30, 2025. The remaining balance of $2.3 million is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
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. In May 2025, Avail Infrastructure Solutions ("AVAIL"), in which we have an unconsolidated investment through the AVAIL JV, completed the sale of its electrical enclosures, switchgear, and bus systems businesses (the "Electrical Products Group") to nVent Electric plc for a purchase price of $975.0 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we received a distribution of cash from the AVAIL JV of $273.2 million, which exceeded our investment in the AVAIL JV of $107.4 million. Since we are not liable for the obligations of the AVAIL JV nor otherwise committed to provide financial support, after reducing our investment in the AVAIL JV to zero, we recognized $165.8 million as a gain during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Due to the timing of the receipt of cash and the recognition of equity in earnings, we suspended the recognition of equity in earnings of the AVAIL JV as of May 31, 2025, until our proportionate share of earnings exceeded the excess distribution previously recognized in earnings. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recognized the equity in earnings from AVAIL related to our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of the Electrical Products Group. The equity in earnings was in excess of the amount we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Therefore, we resumed the recognition of equity in earnings of the AVAIL JV in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Following the recognition of our proportionate share of the gain on the sale of the Electrical Products Group and equity in earnings during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, management identified events and circumstances indicating that the fair value of the Company's investment in the AVAIL JV may have fallen below its carrying value on an other-than-temporary basis. These indicators arose principally from the significant business divestiture by AVAIL and a corresponding reduction in AVAIL's projected future earnings. In response, management performed a recoverability analysis of our investment in the AVAIL JV. Management estimated the fair value of our 40% interest in the AVAIL JV and concluded that the decline in fair value was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $45.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to write down the carrying value of our investment in the AVAIL JV. After recognizing the impairment loss, management believes the carrying value of the investment in the AVAIL JV is recoverable based on AVAIL's current financial position. We will continue to monitor the AVAIL JV for any indicators of impairment, and if further declines in the fair value occur and are deemed other-than-temporary, additional write-downs will be recorded. For the nine months ended November 30,

Table of Contents
2025, we recorded $231.4 million in equity in earnings, which consists of 1) $2.8 million of equity in earnings from the AVAIL JV's operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, 2) $274.5 million of a net gain from the sale of the Electrical Products Group recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, offset by 3) an impairment loss of $45.9 million on the AVAIL JV recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
During the nine months ended November 30, 2025, we repurchased 201,416 shares of common stock in the amount of $20.0 million at an average purchase price of $99.28 under the 2020 Share Authorization. As of November 30, 2025, there was $33.2 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2020 Authorization. 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 scrap 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 November 30, 2025, 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, 2025.
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.

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: 1) intangible asset amortization, 2) restructuring charges, 3) retirement and other severance expenses, 4) redemption premium on Series A Preferred Stock, 5) additional stock compensation expense related to the adoption of our executive retiree long-term incentive program, and 6) certain adjustments related to the Company's unconsolidated joint venture from the reported GAAP measure. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, provision for income taxes and Series A Preferred Stock dividends. 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 nine months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 between the non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Measures to the most comparable measures, calculated in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except per share data):

For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average shares outstanding of 29,076, as the Series A Preferred Stock that was redeemed May 9, 2024 is anti-dilutive for this calculation. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30,123, as the Series A Preferred Stock is dilutive to adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income for adjusted earnings per share also includes the addback of Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the period noted above. For further information regarding the calculation of earnings per share, see "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 4."

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2025. 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, 2025.  
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 19."
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, 2025.
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 allows 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.
