OUTLOOK

Commenting on the company\'s outlook, Don R. Madison, Powell's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer said, "As we enter our fiscal 2018, we are beginning to see moderate signs of improvement when compared to six months ago in terms of pricing pressure, project quality and order volume for both greenfield and brownfield upgrade opportunities. While it is unclear whether these positive trends are sustainable, if current customer activity continues to gradually increase throughout fiscal 2018, we expect to end the fiscal year with a stronger backlog, which should position Powell for an improved fiscal 2019.
