David H. Dingus, president and chief executive officer of AZZ incorporated, commented, “The second quarter was another quarter of effective identification and execution of our opportunities in a market environment of continued economic and regulatory uncertainty. Pricing pressures remain, however, we continued to adhere to a strategy of improved margin targets for our new business. We achieved another quarter of backlog growth and are extremely pleased with both the volume and operating margins of the Galvanizing Services Segment. We continue our effort to identity product and market expansion opportunities to further enhance our strategic position.”
Based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, we are maintaining our Fiscal Year 2012 guidance for revenues to be in the range of $450 million to $475 million and for earnings to be within the range of $2.90 to $3.10 per diluted share. Our guidance does include the increased interest expense in Fiscal 2012 of $0.34 per diluted share associated with the $125 million of Senior Private Placement Notes issued on January 20, 2011.
Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a 25 cent per share cash dividend on the Company’s common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on October 31, 2011, to shareholders of record on October 14, 2011.
