September 29, 2006 – FORT WORTH, TX - AZZ incorporated (NYSE:AZZ), a manufacturer of electrical products and a provider of galvanizing services today announced unaudited financial results for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2006. Revenues for the second quarter increased 31 percent to $62.9 million, compared to $47.8 million for the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter increased 286 percent to $5.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in last year’s fiscal second quarter.

For the six-month period, the Company reported revenues of $115.3 million, an increase of 25 percent compared to $92.6 million for the comparable period last year. Net income for the six months rose 169 percent to $9.4 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share for the comparable six-month period last year.

Backlog at the end of the second quarter was $98.7 million versus $76.6 million at August 31, 2005, an increase of 29 percent. Backlog at our February 28, 2006 year-end and the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were $73.8 million and $92.1 million respectively. Incoming orders for the second quarter totaled $69.5 million while shipments totaled $62.9 million resulting in a book to ship ratio of 110 percent. For the first six months, orders totaled $140.2 million while shipments totaled $ 115.3 million, resulting in a year-to-date book to ship ratio of 122 percent. Incoming orders for the first six months increased 34 percent when compared to the same period a year ago.

Revenues for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment increased 13 percent to $36.5 million for the second quarter, compared to $32.2 million in the previous year’s second quarter. Operating income for this segment was $5.1 million, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of last year, an increase of 126 percent. For the first six months, revenues increased 11 percent to $68.0 million and operating income increased 111 percent to $9.2 million compared to $61.0 and $ 4.4 million, respectively, for the first six months of the prior year.

David H. Dingus, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Strong demand for our Electrical and Industrial Products Segment continued in the second quarter. New orders were strong and balanced across our power generation, transmission and distribution, and industrial products. The continued strength of our markets has allowed us to increase our incoming order rate and continue our aggressive pricing programs designed to achieve improved margin levels. Combined with the strength of our markets, our performance has been enhanced by improved market coverage, and expansion of served markets, particularly international. The leverage gained from improved volumes and improved pricing have favorably impacted our operating margins. On a year to date basis, operating margins have improved to 13.6 percent from a comparable 7.2 percent in the prior year. Our domestic and international quotation and inquiry activity remains strong. Our challenge is to continue to seek out every opportunity to expand our served markets and product offerings that meet our targeted margin criteria.”

Revenues for the Company’s Galvanizing Service Segment increased 69 percent to $26.4 million for the second quarter, compared to $15.6 million in the previous year’s comparable quarter. Operating income for this segment was $8.5 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 221 percent. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, revenues increased 50 percent to $47.3 million, and operating income increased 135 percent to $15.0 million, compared to $31.5 and $6.4 million, respectively, for the first six months of the prior year. Year-to-date revenues for this segment increased 11 percent due to volume and 39 percent due to price.

Mr. Dingus continued, “We have implemented significant price increases in our Galvanizing Services Segment to recover the increased zinc cost. This action has favorably impacted our revenues and income. Strong market demand has positively impacted our ability to accomplish this. While pricing is up significantly, we are most pleased that our tonnage processed for the second quarter was 16 percent higher than in the same period last year. Year to date the increase in tons processed is 11 percent. While we have been favorably impacted by the rebuilding associated with hurricanes of last year, the largest portion of the improvement is spread across all of our served markets which are showing strong demand. We have been concerned about the increased cost of galvanizing and the impact this might have on customers selecting alternatives. To date this has been minimal and we do not anticipate this being a major factor for the balance of this fiscal year.”

Mr. Dingus concluded, “Based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, we are increasing our previously issued guidance for fiscal year 2007. Our earnings are estimated to be within the range of $2.65 and $2.75 per diluted share and revenues to be within the range of $240 to $250 million. Our estimates assume that we will not have any significant customer requested delays in the delivery of our electrical and industrial products, and that the cost of zinc will not significantly change during the balance of the fiscal year necessitating the need to adjust our pricing for galvanizing services.”
