<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">HOUSTON &#151; SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 &#151; Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWL) (&#147;Powell&#148;), a leading supplier of custom engineered solutions for
the distribution and control of electrical energy, today announced that it has experienced start-up productivity issues arising from its May 2014 implementation of new business systems and tools, a scalable infrastructure investment designed to
drive process efficiency across the organization. The Company began experiencing schedule delays and higher than previously anticipated operating costs in July and August as orders moved into production after the systems implementation. In addition,
Powell continues to experience inefficiencies associated with the ramp up of its Canadian manufacturing operations, which are also resulting in higher operating costs. Consequently, the Company is reducing its fiscal 2014 revenue and earnings
guidance for the twelve months ending September&nbsp;30, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the preliminary review of July and August results, as well as
revised production schedules, Powell now expects fiscal 2014 revenues from continuing operations to range between $630 and $640 million compared to its previous guidance of $650 to $675 million, predominantly due to the scheduling delays in its U.S.
businesses. Fiscal 2014 earnings from continuing operations are now expected to range between $1.25 and $1.45 per diluted share compared to its previous guidance of $2.15 to $2.40 per diluted share due to the higher costs and scheduling delays in
its U.S. businesses and as well as the higher costs in Canada. Actual fiscal 2014 results could be favorably impacted by the final resolution of certain pending tax matters, which is not included in this current guidance. During this same period,
incoming order rates have been robust and are expected to continue at a healthy pace. </P>
