POWELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2010
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
HOUSTON — FEBRUARY 3, 2010 — 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 2010 first quarter ending December 31, 2009.
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $135.9 million compared to revenues of
$170.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income for the fourth quarter was $9.6
million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted
share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Patrick L. McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had anticipated a
strong first quarter, and our results also benefited from customers’ delivery needs, as well as our
initiatives to reduce operating costs as we plan for softer market conditions in 2010. We are
continuing to monitor our markets carefully as we work to integrate our recent acquisition.
“We believe fiscal 2010 will be a challenging year, yet as economic uncertainties are resolved
and confidence in our markets begins to improve, we expect to see increased opportunities. We are
seeing some early signs of a market rebound in Canada. In the meantime, we continue to focus on
our customer base, both client development and support, and believe we are strongly positioned with
the capabilities and resources to support our customers on projects around the world.”
The Company’s backlog as of December 31, 2009 was $342 million compared to $366 million as of
September 30, 2009 and compared to $509 million at the end of last year’s first
quarter. New
orders placed during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $108 million compared to $100 million
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and compared to $172 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2009.
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

million and $600 million and full year fiscal 2010 earnings to range between $1.65 and $2.00 per
diluted share.
