AZZ Inc. Surpasses Record Sales and Profitability for Third Consecutive Year
AZZ Inc., a leading provider of galvanized steel and coated metal solutions, has announced its strongest close to the year yet, delivering record sales and profitability for the third consecutive year. According to the company's Q4 2026 earnings conference call transcript reported on April 23rd, AZZ achieved full-year sales totaling $1.65 billion, with adjusted EBITDA surpassing $367 million and adjusted earnings per share growing 19% year-over-year to $6.19.
Tom Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, expressed pride in the company's performance, attributing it to the strength of their strategy, disciplined execution, operational excellence, and commitment to teamwork and values-based culture across the organization.
A key milestone for the company was the completion of its greenfield Precoat Metals facility in Washington, Missouri. This investment advances AZZ's organic growth strategy and strengthens its Precoat Metals segment by expanding its participation in growing aluminum coatings and beverage-related end markets.
In addition to this significant investment, AZZ further expanded its metal coatings platform through the acquisition of a galvanizing facility in Canton, Ohio, which extended its footprint and broadened its service offering for new and existing customers. The company continued to evaluate acquisition opportunities through a disciplined capital allocation framework while growing an active strategic pipeline of deals.
AZZ Inc.'s diversified portfolio positions it uniquely to support large-scale, complex projects across multiple end markets and states, often simultaneously, with consistency and speed. As Tom Ferguson highlighted, the company is seeing momentum across its end markets driven by infrastructure-related investment themes that are reshaping the industrial landscape.
These secular tailwinds include industrial reshoring, bridge and highway investments, hyperscale data center expansion, investments in power generation, transmission, and distribution, and continued growth in renewable energy. Each of these trends is structural, multi-year, and increasingly central to the company's customers' capital spending priorities.
AZZ's galvanized steel and coated metal solutions are in high demand across these markets, where they bring meaningful scale, deep coating experience, operational reliability, and exceptional value. As a result, AZZ Inc. is well-positioned for long-term growth, leveraging its strong performance, strategic investments, and market position to drive future success.
With a record sales total of $1.65 billion, adjusted EBITDA exceeding $367 million, and adjusted earnings per share growing 19% year-over-year to $6.19, AZZ Inc.'s impressive performance solidifies its position as a leader in the galvanized steel and coated metal solutions market.
AZZ's commitment to operational excellence, teamwork, and values-based culture is driving growth and profitability across multiple end markets. As Tom Ferguson noted, the company's diversified portfolio positions it uniquely to support large-scale, complex projects with consistency and speed.
