POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2012

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Also announces major facilities expansion

HOUSTON — AUGUST 7, 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 third quarter ending June 30, 2012.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were $194.1 million compared to revenues of $141.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $12.1 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $73,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Thomas W. Powell, Chief Executive Officer, stated. “Our third quarter results reflect solid performance by our employees across the company. We continue to focus on delivering excellent value to our customers as we provide integrated solutions for their large capital projects. Regarding our markets, activity in the oil and gas sector remains strong, particularly internationally. We are also pleased with the level of activity in the light rail traction market. We believe that there is a great deal of pent up demand in our markets.”

New orders placed during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled $133 million compared to $203 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and compared to $198 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company’s backlog as of June 30, 2012 was $433 million compared to $497 million as of March 31, 2012 and compared to $491 million at the end of last year’s third quarter.


Additionally, Powell has acquired three tracts of land to support its future growth. In October 201l, Powell acquired additional space for its offshore facility on the Houston Ship Channel and recently made two more purchases, one located in Houston, Texas and one in Edmonton, Canada. These expansions will result in increased production capacity and allow the Company to expand project and after-market support operations, strengthening Powell’s proven model of delivering integrated solutions in key customer markets. The total investment in land, buildings and equipment is to be funded with cash in the amount of approximately $75 million. The construction phase began in July 2012 and is expected to be completed by September 2013. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $106 million in cash on its balance sheet. The funding of this expansion will be through cash from operations and cash on hand.

Mr. Powell concluded, “Our decision to expand existing facilities will allow us to better serve the needs of our customers in these two very important geographic markets. As demand rises in the years to come, our ability to efficiently manage large and complex projects will be directly related to the capacity we have available.”

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 now expects full year fiscal 2012 revenues to range between $700 million and $725 million and full year fiscal 2012 earnings to range between $1.95 and $2.20 per diluted share.
