PIPE COMPANY TO REVIEW STRATEGIC OPTIONS FOR OCTG OPERATIONS </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">VANCOUVER, Washington &#150; Northwest Pipe Company (NASDAQ: NWPX) announced today it is
in the process of exploring strategic alternatives for its Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) business, which could include potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint-ventures. The Company has retained Raymond James&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc. as
financial advisor to assist in this initiative. Northwest Pipe said no formal decisions have been made and no agreements have been reached concerning the company&#146;s OCTG operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The decision to evaluate options for our OCTG business follows a comprehensive review of the Company&#146;s strategy, asset base and future direction
with our Board of Directors,&#148; said Scott Montross, Northwest Pipe President and CEO. &#147;Furthermore, our long-term desire is to sharpen our focus on growing our core Water Transmission business through organic initiatives like the recent $12
million investment in our Saginaw, Texas facility as well as through acquisitions. While Northwest Pipe will assess strategic options for its OCTG operations, including the addition of downstream processing capabilities, nothing about this review
alters the Company&#146;s commitment and continued investment and expansion currently taking place at our Atchison, Kansas facility, which is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2014. Our most recent $15 million investment in Atchison
is the culmination of over $35 million of investments that have been made at Atchison, over the last several years, to significantly enhance our long term competitive position in the Energy Tubular market. Additionally, we continue a focused and
active corporate development effort regarding strategic add-on acquisitions that fit our long-term strategic plan.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Northwest Pipe Company
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Northwest Pipe Company manufactures welded steel pipe and other products in two business groups. Its Water Transmission Group is the leading supplier
of large diameter, high-pressure steel pipe products that are used primarily for water infrastructure in North America. Its Tubular Products Group manufactures smaller diameter steel pipe for a wide range of products including energy, construction,
agriculture and industrial systems. The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, Washington and has nine manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico. </P>
