Tom Ferguson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, commented, "Fiscal year 2026 represents record full year sales and profitability, and AZZ's 39th consecutive year of profitability from continuing operations, as we continued to execute upon our growth strategy. We are pleased with full-year sales of $1.65 billion, up 4.6%, based primarily on organic growth and strong execution. For the year, our Metal Coatings segment delivered sales of $758.7 million, and 31.0% EBITDA margin, and Precoat Metals delivered sales of $891.4 million and 19.8% EBITDA margin. We are encouraged by the performance of our new Washington facility, which reached profitability in the fourth quarter, underscoring the success of our strategic investment.

------

"Looking forward, we remain focused on disciplined execution of our organic growth strategies while capitalizing on strong U.S. infrastructure investment across our key end markets. The Company is well-positioned to capitalize on a growing pipeline of M&A opportunities to augment organic growth in the new fiscal year. Finally, I want to thank our dedicated AZZ employees for their hard work, disciplined focus, and pride and passion for delivering quality and service to our customers." Ferguson concluded.

**<u>Segment Performance</u>**

***Full Year 2026 Metal Coatings***

Strong sales of $758.7 million, up 14.1% from prior year. Improved sales were driven by an increase in volume for hot-dip galvanizing, supported by continued strength within construction, electrical transmission and distribution, and industrial end markets. Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $235.5 million was up 14.7% versus the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.0% was at the upper end of stated range of 27%-32%, and increased 10 basis points due to a higher volume of steel processed and operational efficiencies.

***Full Year 2026 Precoat Metals***

Sales of $891.4 million, down 2.3% from prior year. Segment EBITDA of $176.2 million or 19.8% of sales, was down 1.6%, driven by materially lower volume within residential construction, HVAC and transportation end markets, and partially offset by higher average selling price.

***Fourth Quarter 2026 Metal Coatings***

Sales increased 25.7% to $186.5 million and EBITDA increased 30.1% to $56.3 million versus the prior quarter in fiscal 2025. Sales were higher this year due to increased infrastructure-related demand, and unfavorable weather conditions in last year's quarter. Segment EBITDA margin increased to 30.2% of sales, or 100 basis points higher than the prior year fourth quarter EBITDA margin.

***Fourth Quarter 2026 Precoat Metals***

Sales decreased 2.4% to $198.6 million and EBITDA increased 0.2% to $36.2 million, versus the prior quarter in fiscal 2025. Sales were lower as a result of decreased volume due to lower end market demand in construction, transportation, and HVAC. Segment EBITDA margin increased to 18.2% of sales, or 40 basis points higher than the prior year fourth quarter EBITDA margin.

**<u>Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation</u>**

The Company generated significant operating cash flow of $525.4 million for fiscal 2026 through improved earnings, as well as cash distributions during the year totaling $273.2 million from the AVAIL JV following the sale of its Electrical Products Group ("EPG") and welding services businesses ("WSI"), coupled with a continued focus on working capital management. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company's net leverage was 1.4x for the trailing twelve months ended February 28, 2026. Consistent with the capital allocation strategy, the Company paid down debt of $385.3 million, repurchased $20.0 million of common shares, completed an acquisition in the Metal Coatings segment of $30.1 million, and returned cash to common shareholders through cash dividend payments totaling $23.1 million. Capital expenditures were $80.8 million during the year, which included $7.8 million for the greenfield facility in Washington, Missouri. Fiscal 2027 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $80 - $100 million, reflecting an increase in growth capital for hot-dip galvanizing capacity expansions and technology improvements. In fiscal 2027, we will continue to allocate our strong cash flow generated from operations to support our capital allocation strategy, which includes strategic M&A, managing leverage and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

**<u>Financial Outlook — Reiterating Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance</u>**

We are reiterating our fiscal year guidance for the year ending February 28, 2027, which reflects our confidence in the Company's strategic execution, operational resilience, and market positioning. Fiscal year 2027 guidance reflects our best estimates given expected market conditions for the full year, lower interest expense, an annualized effective tax rate of 25% and excludes M&A activity and any federal regulatory changes that may emerge.

**AZZ Inc.**

**Non-GAAP Disclosure**

**Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA**

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the "Adjusted Earnings Measures"), which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency when comparing operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, prospects for future capital investment and debt reduction. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In calculating adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, management excludes: 1) intangible asset amortization, 2) restructuring charges, 3) certain legal settlements and accruals, 4) retirement and other severance expenses, 5) redemption premium on Series A Preferred Stock, 6) additional stock compensation expense related to the adoption of our executive retiree long-term incentive program, and 7) certain adjustments related to the Company's unconsolidated joint venture from the reported GAAP measure. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest and provision for income taxes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt, as well as its capacity for making capital expenditures in the future.

Management provides non-GAAP financial measures for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the Company's GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider these measures in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and undue reliance should not be placed on these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The following tables provide a reconciliation for the three months ended and year ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 between the non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Measures to the most comparable measures, calculated in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except per share data):

<sup>(1)</sup>  Earnings per share amounts included in the "Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share" table above may not sum due to rounding differences.

<sup>(2)</sup>  For the year ended February 28, 2025, diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average shares outstanding of 29,344, as the Series A Preferred Stock that was redeemed May 9, 2024, is anti-dilutive for this calculation. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30,134, as the Series A Preferred Stock is dilutive to adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income for adjusted earnings per share also includes the addback of Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the period noted above. For further information regarding the calculation of earnings per share, see "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 2026.

<sup>(3)</sup>  Includes restructuring charges related to the closure of two surface technology facilities in our Metal Coatings segment. See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 21" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 2026.

<sup>(4)</sup>  For the year ended February 28, 2025, consists of a $3.5 million legal settlement and accrual related to a non-operating entity, and is classified as "Corporate" in our operating segment disclosure and $6.5 million for the write off of receivable and related legal fees due to the unfavorable resolution of a litigation matter related to the AIS segment that was retained following the sale of the AIS business. See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 22" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 2026.

<sup>(5)</sup>  Related to retention and transition of certain executive management employees.

<sup>(6)</sup>  On May 9, 2024, we redeemed AZZ's Series A Preferred Stock. The redemption premium represents the difference between the redemption amount paid and the book value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

<sup>(7)</sup>  During the year ended February 28, 2026, we recognized additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million upon the adoption of the Executive Retiree Long-term Incentive Program. For further information regarding the adoption of the ERP, see "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 2026.

<sup>(8)</sup>  During fiscal year 2026, AVAIL completed the sale of EPG and WSI. The three months ended February 28, 2026, includes a loss related to the sale of WSI, and a prior period adjustment for accounting errors within the Brazil operations of the AVAIL JV. The year ended February 28, 2026, includes a net gain related to the sale of the EPG and WSI, partially offset by the recognition of an impairment loss on the AVAIL JV, a prior period adjustment for accounting errors within the Brazil operations of the AVAIL JV, and an adjustment related to a change in AVAIL's transfer pricing policy. For further information, see "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended 2026.

<sup>(9)</sup>  For the three months ended February 28, 2026, the tax impact includes a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24.0% for amortization of intangible assets, 25.5% for the AVAIL JV equity in earnings adjustment and an additional tax adjustment related to the AVAIL JV of $3.5 million. For the year ended February 28, 2026, the non-GAAP effective tax rate is 24.0% for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and executive retiree long-term incentive program, and is 25.5% for the AVAIL JV equity in earnings adjustment. For the year ended February 28, 2025, the non-GAAP effective tax rate is 24.0% for all adjustments, except the Redemption premium on Series A Preferred Stock, which is not tax effected.

<sup>(10)</sup>  Cash items include certain legal settlements, accruals, retirement and other severance expenses, and restructuring charges associated with the Metal Coatings segment.

<sup>(11)</sup>  Non-cash items include stock-based compensation expense.
