New manufacturing facility is on schedule and on budget. AZZ Inc. participated in Noble’s Virtual Basic Industries Conference on September 25. AZZ is the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions to a broad range of end markets. With AZZ Precoat Metals’ new manufacturing facility in Washington, Missouri expected to be completed in fiscal year 2025, we expect the facility to contribute to top-line growth in fiscal year 2026 while capital expenditures decline. Approximately 75% of the facility’s production is already committed that we estimate could generate approximately $50 million to $60 million in revenue. A link to the presentation replay is here.

Declining debt balance and cost of capital. Based on the company’s strong first quarter fiscal year 2025 results and outlook, we have assumed AZZ will pay down $90 million of debt this fiscal year, or at the high end of the guidance range. On September 24, AZZ executed a fourth amendment to its existing credit agreement and reduced the interest rate of the Term Loan B by 75 basis points to the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 250 basis points.
