POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2013

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

HOUSTON — AUGUST 6, 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 third quarter ending June 30, 2013.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $179.5 million compared to revenues of $194.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $9.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $12.1 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The third quarter fiscal 2013 results include costs of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, related to workforce restructuring in the United Kingdom and relocation costs for the Company’s two new manufacturing facilities.

Michael A. Lucas, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third quarter proved to be challenging as we worked to mitigate customer-requested schedule changes of a few select large projects. The reduction in revenue due to these delays on the larger projects was difficult to overcome, but I am pleased that strong project execution and limited schedule interruptions on small to mid-sized projects generated solid earnings.

“The uncertainty around the timing of large projects is expected to continue into fiscal 2014, impacting both the timing of new awards as well as the execution of orders in the backlog, while activity on small to mid-sized projects continues at steady and healthy levels. Overall, prospects for new capital investments in our key markets are strong. The oil and gas market


remains solid, and we are currently supporting proposal work for both onshore and offshore projects. Engineering support in the planning phase for several large petrochemical projects continues at a good pace, and prospects for LNG opportunities, in the longer term, are improving.

“We are pleased with the progress on our two facility expansions. Initial production in our new Edmonton Canada facility has begun, and we expect to complete that transition by the end of September. We will start moving into our new Houston facility later this month. These new facilities, located in important geographic markets, are crucial to our ability to manage and support the number and size of the capital investments we expect to be made by our customer base in the months and years ahead.”

New orders placed during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled approximately $155 million compared to $124 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and $133 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company’s backlog as of June 30, 2013 was $496 million compared to $522 million as of March 31, 2013 and $433 million at the end of last year’s third 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, as well as potential additional customer schedule changes, Powell Industries has reduced its expected full year fiscal 2013 revenue range to between $650 million and $675 million from its previous guidance of $675 million to $700 million. Full year fiscal 2013 earnings remain unchanged from previous guidance and are expected 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.
