**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure**

On February 16, 2023, AZZ Inc. ("AZZ", the "Company") issued a press release providing new fiscal year 2024 financial guidance from continuing operations and reiterated fiscal year 2023 financial guidance and aligns to results from continuing operations on a comparable basis as described below.

On September 30, 2022, AZZ and Fernweh Group LLC ("Fernweh") closed on the transaction whereby AZZ contributed its AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment ("AIS") to AIS Investment Holdings LLC and sold a controlling interest in AIS to Fernweh (the "AIS JV"). As a result, the Company has reclassified the operations of AIS to discontinued operations to adjust and recast its financial information to provide historical non-GAAP comparable financial results. The Company's continuing operations include the AZZ Metal Coatings segment, the AZZ Precoat Metals segment, (which was acquired on May 13, 2022 and includes results of operations as of and for the period from May 13, 2022 through November 30, 2022), the equity in earnings from the AIS JV, and other Corporate expenses related to both transactions. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the press release referenced above, which includes the following unaudited, consolidated financial data of the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted comparative balance sheets for February 28, 2022, May 31, 2022, August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted comparative statements of operations, and recast adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended May 31, 2022, the three months ended August 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2022

The Company is furnishing information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) to provide historical non-GAAP financial results reflecting AIS as discontinued operations. This furnished information shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that Section 18 or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Nor shall the information in this Current Report be incorporated by reference in any other filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference in such filing.

In the tables to our press release, we use non-GAAP financial measures and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to: facilitate comparisons of historical operating results; identify trends in our underlying operating results; and provides additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. For additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see Exhibit 99.1.

Tom Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, said, "We are optimistic about our business prospects as we conclude fiscal year 2023 and enter fiscal 2024. Our focus in the year ahead will be to drive organic growth and margin enhancements in our Metal Coatings and Precoat Metals segments, with continued focus on market penetration, customer service, quality, and operational excellence. Also, as contemplated in our strategic rationale for the Precoat acquisition, we are eager to increase capacity to meet specific customer demand with the previously announced new coil coating plant near St. Louis, Missouri. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal year 2024 to be in the $80 million range, 30-40% projected for the greenfield plant construction (completion expected in FY25), and the balance allocated to maintenance, productivity, and environmental health & safety. We anticipate strong cash flow generation from earnings to support deleveraging efforts, with a debt reduction target of approximately $100 million

------

resulting in net leverage on trailing adjusted EBITDA of approximately 3.0x by end of fiscal year 2024. Finally, with our strategically aligned metal coatings business at scale, we expect to drive incremental operational productivity and efficiency improvements, while further optimizing our corporate structure. AZZ is the leading pure play hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating company with irreplaceable footprints in our served markets. We generate industry-leading margins, returns and free cash flow. We have access to the capital necessary to sustain our operations, while actively pursuing initiatives to drive future growth and enhance shareholder value. We are excited about the opportunities ahead."

***About AZZ Inc.***

**Non-GAAP Disclosure** 

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we provided 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 greater transparency when comparing operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for future capital investment and debt reduction. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, 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.

Management also provides Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, provision for income taxes and acquisition and transaction related expenses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt and its capacity for making capital expenditures in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess the Company's estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company's financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these adjustments.

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. These non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
