POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2013

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

HOUSTON — MAY 7, 2013 — 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 2013 second quarter ending March 31, 2013.

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $153.9 million compared to revenues of $181.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $6.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 includes $1.7 million received from the settlement of the Company’s claim pertaining to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October 21, 2009, to acquire the business and certain assets of PowerComm, Inc.

Michael A. Lucas, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Revenues in the second quarter were consistent with our first quarter volume and in line with our expectations. The oil and gas market continues to be our primary source of new business opportunities and customer inquiries on new projects remain strong, although resource constraints across the industry and changing customer schedules make planning and executing projects challenging. The global economy and competitive pressures internationally are adversely impacting the quality and number of projects in our U.K. business. Overall, however, based on the strength in our U.S. and Canadian markets, we continue to be optimistic and anticipate strong order activity through the balance of this year and into 2014.”


New orders placed during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $124 million compared to $272 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and $203 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. New orders placed during the first half of fiscal 2013 totaled $396 million compared to $392 million in the first half for fiscal 2012. The Company’s backlog as of March 31, 2013 was $522 million compared to $554 million as of December 31, 2012 and $497 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 condition, as well as possible additional customer schedule changes, Powell Industries has reduced its expected full year fiscal 2013 revenues to range between $675 million and $700 million but has raised its expected full year fiscal 2013 earnings to range between $2.30 and $2.55 per diluted share. Included in the Company’s earnings outlook is an estimate of $0.25 per diluted share for one-time costs related to the start-up of two new manufacturing facilities.
