Management Discussion

Tom Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, commented, “We continue to deliver solid results in fiscal 2022 with strong operating performance in the third quarter, driven by sales increasing 2.3%, operating income up 8.0% and net income up 7.0%, compared to the same quarter last year. The continued success of our businesses is due to our teams executing at a high level to drive growth and profitability across all business segments.”

“Our Metal Coatings segment delivered great operating results generating sales of $133.4 million, up 15.4%, and operating margin of 24.5%, down slightly versus prior year due to increasing labor and material costs. Improved sales were driven by strong demand for hot-dip galvanizing within the renewables, utility, OEM, and construction end markets.I am pleased with the team’s ability to continue to manage the increasing costs of materials and labor, through value pricing and operational improvement initiatives, while focusing on providing outstanding customer service.Additionally, and subsequent to our quarter-end, the team acquired Steel Creek Galvanizing in South Carolina.”

Mr. Ferguson continued, “During the third quarter, our Infrastructure Solutions segment generated sales of $98.4 million, up $11.5 million sequentially but down $12.6 million or 11.4% compared to the same period last year.Several business units were affected by material delivery delays, including customer supplied components, and labor shortages.Operating margin of 9.3%, improved 140 basis points compared to operating margin of 7.9% for the same period last year.I would like to thank our employees for their hard work in delivering these third quarter results and continuing to provide exceptional service to our customers.”

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share (collectively, the “Adjusted Earnings Measures”), which are non-GAAP measures.Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with a greater transparency comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company developed and began the implementation of a plan to divest certain non-core businesses and later, divested several non-core businesses. During the six months ended August 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any restructuring and impairment charges. The following tables provides a reconciliation for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 between the various measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Q3 FY2022 EARNINGS PRESENTATION • In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), AZZ has provided EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with a greater transparency comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of AZZ’s financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
