**AZZ Inc. Announces Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter** 

**Cash Dividend of $0.17 per Share**![image_1.jpg](image_1.jpg)

**January 19, 2023** - *FORT WORTH, TX* - AZZ Inc. **(NYSE: AZZ)**, the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions, today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a third quarter cash dividend in the amount of $0.17 per share on the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend is payable on February 7, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 30, 2023.

"We are optimistic about our business prospects as we complete fiscal 2023 and plan for 2024. The divestiture of our non-core segment this year allowed us to pay down debt and focus on growing our leading North American market positions," said Tom Ferguson, President and CEO. "This Board-authorized cash dividend signals continued confidence in our long-term strategic initiatives and conviction in our ability to generate significant cash flows as we move forward."

While AZZ currently intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, any future dividends will be reviewed on an individual basis and declared by the Board of Directors at its discretion. AZZ remains committed to enhancing shareholder value based upon its consideration of various factors, including operating results, financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.

***About AZZ Inc.***

AZZ Inc. is the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions to a broad range of end-markets. Collectively, our business segments provide sustainable, unmatched metal coating solutions that enhance the longevity and appearance of buildings, products and infrastructure that are essential to everyday life.
