POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2012
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
HOUSTON — MAY 8, 2012 — Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWL), a leading supplier of custom engineered solutions for the management and control of electrical energy and other critical processes, today announced results for the fiscal 2012 second quarter ending March 31, 2012.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $181.5 million compared to revenues of $125.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The year-over-year increase in net income was larger than expected and primarily attributable to several large projects presently in production meeting or exceeding significant milestones.
Thomas W. Powell, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our second quarter results demonstrate the nature of a custom engineered project business. Just as unforeseen challenges can at times create costs in excess of estimates, operational excellence can also generate margin improvement. Several large, complex projects provided the margin upside to our second quarter results, and we are extremely pleased with the efficient execution by our organization.
“The market strength continues to be primarily driven by oil and gas, however, we are seeing an increase in activity in the utility sector and some other industrials. We have also been successful with light rail infrastructure projects, both in the U.S. and Canada.
“We continue to believe that pent up demand exists and that capital projects in our key markets will go forward as the overall economy strengthens. We are working both on opportunities that exist as well as preparing for those that have not yet become apparent.”
New orders placed during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled $203 million compared to $189 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and compared to $217 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company’s backlog as of March 31, 2012 was $497 million compared to $474 million as of December 31, 2011 and compared to $437 million at the end of last year’s second quarter.
OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially as further elaborated in the last paragraph below.
Based on its backlog and current business conditions, Powell Industries expects full year fiscal 2012 revenues to range between $675 million and $725 million and full year fiscal 2012 earnings to range between $1.25 and $1.50 per diluted share.
