POWELL INDUSTRIES REPORTS
FISCAL 2005 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

HOUSTON — JUNE 8, 2005 — Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWL), a leading manufacturer of equipment and systems for the management and control of electrical energy and other critical processes, today announced results for the fiscal 2005 second quarter ended April 30, 2005.

     Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $58.9 million compared to revenues of $51.5 million for the second quarter of 2004. The company reported a net loss for the second quarter of $295,000, or ($0.03) per share, compared to net income of $360,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago.

     Thomas W. Powell, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “Our second quarter results were again adversely effected by competitive price levels and high commodity prices in our Electrical Power Products segment. While we are not pleased with our earnings, I am happy to report that the bulk of our low priced business has been shipped, and we are extremely satisfied with our second quarter bookings of $73.6 million. This was our strongest quarterly bookings level since 2002 with the exception of the Lincoln and Holland Tunnel order booked in 2003. Additionally, we began the third quarter with solid order levels and anticipate another good quarter for bookings.”

     The Electrical Power Products segment recorded revenues of $48.4 million in the second quarter compared to $44.0 million in the second quarter a year ago. Loss before income taxes

 


 

for Electrical Power Products totaled $1.5 million versus income of $270,000 in last year’s second quarter.

     Process Control Systems’ revenues for the second quarter were $10.5 million compared to $7.5 million for the same period a year ago. Income before income taxes for Process Control Systems totaled $785,000 versus $303,000 a year ago.

     The company’s order backlog as of April 30, 2005, was $161.4 million, compared to $131.2 million at the end of the second quarter one year ago and compared to $146.6 million in the previous quarter. New orders placed during the second quarter of 2005 totaled $73.6 million versus $45.3 million in the second quarter a year ago and versus $60.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

     Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2005 were $106.6 million compared to revenues of $104.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004. The company reported a net loss for the first six months of $1.7 million, or $0.16 per share, versus net income of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2004.

     The Electrical Power Products segment recorded revenues of $88.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to $90.2 million for the same period a year ago. Loss before income taxes for Electrical Power Products in the first half of the year totaled $4.1 million compared to income before income taxes of $1.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2004.

     Process Control Systems’ revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2005 were $18.5 million compared to $14.6 million for the same period a year ago. Income before income taxes for Process Control Systems totaled $1.0 million versus $552,000 for the same period a year ago.

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 current booking trends, Powell Industries now expects fiscal 2005 third quarter earnings to range between $0.10 and $0.15 per diluted share, and full year 2005 earnings to range between $0.15 and $0.25 per diluted share.
