Powell Industries Announces Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter Results

Tuesday, August 02, 2011 4:15 PM

Company reports orders of $198 million and backlog of $491 million

HOUSTON, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWL), a leading manufacturer of equipment and systems for the management and control of electrical energy and other critical processes, today announced results for the fiscal 2011 third quarter ending June 30, 2011.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $142.1 million compared to revenues of $138.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income for the third quarter was $1.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Patrick L. McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We had another strong order input quarter. We are beginning to see some market stabilization in the oil and gas sector; however, most of the activity continues to occur outside the U.S. Other than oil and gas, markets in which we compete continue to be soft, especially those tied to municipal funding.

"Based on our near term orders in backlog and with delivery schedules firming, we have begun hiring and training people, preparing them for a near term rise in our business. We expect our revenues and profits to begin improving between now and the end of the fiscal year."

New orders placed during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $198 million compared to $217 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and compared to $136 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company's backlog as of June 30, 2011 was $491 million compared to $437 million as of March 31, 2011 and compared to $310 million at the end of last year's third quarter.

OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially as further elaborated in the last paragraph below.

Based on its backlog and current business conditions, Powell Industries expects full year fiscal 2011 revenues to range between $545 million and $570 million and full year fiscal 2011 earnings to range between $1.05 and $1.15 per diluted share.
