ROBBINS & MYERS REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2006 RESULTS

DAYTON, OHIO, June 28, 2006 . . . Robbins & Myers, Inc. (NYSE:RBN) announced today its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, ended May 31, 2006. For the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company reported a diluted net loss per share of $0.01, which included special items totalling $0.33 per share relating to goodwill impairment, facility dispositions and restructuring expenses. Before these special items, diluted net income was $0.32 per share.

Fiscal 2006 third quarter sales of $153.2 million were $4.4 million lower than in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Sales declined from the prior year quarter primarily because the prior year quarter included $10.5 in sales for the Hapa, Laetus, and Edlon Lined Pipe businesses that were sold after last year’s third quarter.

Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) were $6.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and $7.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2005. The fiscal 2006 third quarter net loss was $0.1 million versus net income of $0.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The loss in the current quarter is due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9.2 million related to the finalization of the value of the Romaco segment, $1.6 million additional loss on the disposal of a manufacturing facility in the Process Solutions segment and $2.0 million in additional restructuring charges. Results were favorably affected by higher sales volumes in the Fluid Management segment and the gain on the disposal of the Hapa and Laetus business units. The diluted loss per share was $0.01 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and compares with net income of $0.02 per share in the comparable prior year period.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, sales increased to $442.2 million, an increase of $6.5 million over the same period in fiscal 2005. EBIT for the nine months of fiscal 2006 was adversely affected by a $39.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge taken in fiscal 2006. This resulted in EBIT for the nine months of fiscal 2006 being a negative $11.6 million and $25.1 million lower than in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, the Company reported a loss per share of $1.94, which included the impact of dispositions, restructuring and impairment costs of $2.53 per share, or income per share of $0.59 before these special items.

Fluid Management. Fluid Management segment third quarter 2006 sales of $61.7 million and EBIT of $12.7 million increased by 19.1% and 23.8%, respectively, compared with the third quarter of the prior year. For the nine months, sales increased by 19.4% and EBIT increased 28.4%. The outlook for the Fluid Management segment remains positive due to the strong demand from oil and gas exploration and recovery markets, the price of oil, drilling rig count, improved chemical processing and general industrial market activity. Orders continue to be strong and are 27.1% higher than last year’s third quarter and 21.2% higher for the nine months of fiscal 2006 over the comparable period of the prior year.

Process Solutions. Third quarter fiscal 2006 sales of $57.1 million for the Process Solutions segment were 9.0% or $5.6 million lower than in the prior year period. Approximately $2.5 million of the decline relates to the sale of the Edlon Lined Pipe business in August 2005. The remaining decline is due to lower glass lined reactor sales, principally in the U.S. and Europe. EBIT in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $2.7 million lower than in the prior year period due to restructuring and dispositions costs being $3.1 million higher than last year. For the nine months, fiscal 2006 sales were $164.2 million, down 7.1% or $12.5 million from the same period last year, with approximately $7.5 million of the decline attributable to the sale of the Edlon Lined Pipe business. The Process Solutions segment had EBIT of $2.7 million for the nine months of fiscal 2006 compared with $3.4 million in the comparable prior year period. EBIT for the nine months was negatively impacted by lower sales volume and higher special item costs of $0.5 million and lease remediation costs at certain facilities of $0.4 million. These were partially offset by cost savings from restructuring activities and from the gain on the sale of land and buildings in China. Order rates improved in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and are 27.4% higher than in the comparable prior year period.

Romaco. The Romaco segment sales of $34.4 million for the third quarter 2006 declined by $8.6 million from the prior year. Approximately $8.0 million of this sales reduction relates to the sale of the Hapa and Laetus product lines of Romaco on March 31, 2006. EBIT was negative $1.4 million in the third quarter 2006 compared with negative $1.4 million in the third quarter 2005. Included in the third quarter 2006 EBIT are goodwill impairment charges of $9.2 million, restructuring charges of $0.1 million, and a gain of $7.5 million on disposal of businesses. For the nine months of fiscal 2006, the Romaco segment had sales $106.1 million compared with $114.9 million in the

same period in 2005. Order rates for the third quarter are up 9.7% over the prior year third quarter period, even though the current period did not include the Hapa and Laetus businesses.

Peter C. Wallace, President and Chief Executive Officer of Robbins & Myers, Inc., stated, “We are encouraged by the improvements being made in all of our business segments. The Fluid Management segment continues to deliver solid increases in sales and earnings. We anticipate this trend will continue throughout fiscal 2006 driven by worldwide demand for energy. The Process Solutions and Romaco segments have both improved their incoming order rate and have begun to benefit from the restructuring activity of the past year and a half. We will continue the efforts aimed at reducing complexity, sharing common resources, and leveraging our strength in target markets.

The non-cash goodwill impairment charge masks many of the positive improvements we have made in the last two years. We have trimmed our portfolio, reduced our manufacturing footprint, and have embraced lean as a way to transform the Company. Several of our key end markets are improving, and we are now better positioned to profitably grow our business.

Our performance in the quarter was better than our earlier guidance. As we look to the balance of the year, we expect to see continued strength in Fluid Management, continued improvement in Process Solutions and additional benefits from restructuring the Romaco business. Based on this outlook, our earnings guidance for fiscal 2006 is $0.95 to $1.00 per share before special items. Earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 should be in the range of $0.36 to $0.41 per share before special items.”

In this release the Company refers to various non-GAAP measures. Earnings and earnings per share excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measures are helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing performance of its underlying businesses before the impact of special items on its financial performance. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a comparison to our previously announced earnings guidance which excluded these special items. Earnings and earnings per share before special items reconcile to earnings presented according to GAAP as follows:
