Explanatory Note
Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Form 10-Q/A") amends and restates certain items noted below in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of AZZ Inc. (the “Company”) for the quarter ended May 31, 2017, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2017 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A amends the Original Filing to reflect the correction of an error in the previously reported financial statements related to the Company’s revenue recognition practices within its Energy segment. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 for additional information and a reconciliation of the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts.
For the convenience of the reader, this form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing, as amended, in its entirety; however, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following financial statements and disclosures that were impacted from the correction of the error:

This Form 10-Q/A also amends Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings to reflect updated legal matters. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this Form 10-Q/A (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2), and the Company has provided its revised audited consolidated financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibit 101.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing, or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.
The Company is also concurrently filing an amended Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and an amended Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended August 31, 2017 to restate the previously issued annual and interim financial statements due to the accounting error described above.

On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and the related amendments ("ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of February 28, 2018. Results for operating periods beginning on or after March 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. However, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2018, the impact of applying ASC 606 as opposed to applying legacy accounting guidance did not result in a significant change to reported revenues or costs of revenues. Accordingly, no reconciliation has been provided to show the difference between applying ASC 606 and legacy guidance for the three and six months ended August 31, 2018. In November 2015,addition, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings on March 1, 2018 related to the adoption. See Note 2 for a description of the Company's accounting policy resulting from the adoption of ASC 606.
On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, “Income TaxesASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of Deferred Taxes.” ASU 2015-17 simplifiesmore than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of deferred taxes inexpenses and cash flows arising from a classified statement of financial position and was adoptedlease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU will be effective for the Company on March 1, 2017. As a resultin the first quarter of theits fiscal year 2020 and early adoption the Company is required to offset deferred tax liabilities and assets, as well as any related valuation allowance, and present as a single noncurrent amount. However, the Company shall not offset deferred tax liabilities and assets attributable to different tax-paying components of the entity or to different tax jurisdictions. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior year.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." The standard requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing a right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet.permitted. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, withrequires adoption based upon a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption permitted. We areand is currently evaluating the impact thatof the adoption of this standard will have on ourto its consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures. In particular, the Company has made progress in assessing its portfolio of leases for accounting and disclosure purposes. To address the new standard's requirements, the Company is also in the process of assessing the design of the future lease accounting procedures and

related internal controls, selecting and implementing lease accounting software, and finalizing policies, including the election of any practical expedients permitted by the standard. While the Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the financial statement impact of the new lease accounting standard, the Company expects to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases in its consolidated balance sheets upon adoption and thereafter.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In May 2014,The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", issued as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 ("ASU 2014-09").year ended February 28, 2018. The newfollowing section includes revised accounting policies related to the adoption of ASC 606.
Revenue recognition
The Company determines revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The premisethrough the following steps:
1)Identification of the guidancecontract with a customer,
2)Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,
3)Determination of the transaction price,
4)Allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
5)Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue is that a Company should recognize revenue to depictrecognized when control of the transfer of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entitythat it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 can be adoptedThe amount and timing of revenue recognition varies by segment based on the nature of the goods or services provided and the terms and conditions of the customer contract.
Energy Segment
AZZ's Energy segment is a provider of specialized products and services designed to support industrial, nuclear and electrical applications. Within this segment, the contract is governed by a customer purchase order and an executed product or services agreement. The contract generally specifies the delivery of what constitutes a single performance obligation consisting of either custom built products, custom services, or off-the-shelf products. When the Company does enter into an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or services being provided to the customer and revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of each performance obligation. The Company combines contracts for revenue recognition purposes that are executed with the same customer within a short timeframe from each other and that purport to be for a single commercial objective.
For custom built products, the Company recognizes revenues over time provided that the goods do not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an unconditional right to payment for work completed to date plus a reasonable margin. For custom services, which consist of specialized welding and other professional services, the Company recognizes revenues over time as the services are rendered due to the fact that the services enhance a customer owned asset. For off-the-shelf products, which consist of tubing and lighting products, the Company recognizes revenue at a point-in-time upon the transfer of the goods to the customer.
For services and custom built products, the Company recognizes revenues over time using a cost-to-cost input measure. This requires the Company to estimate the total contract revenues, costs and margin, which can involve significant management judgment. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of the Company’s contracts, management reviews and updates its contract related estimates regularly. The Company recognizes adjustments in estimated margin on contracts under a cumulative catch-up basis and subsequent revenues are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If the estimate of contract margin indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company recognizes the total estimated loss in the period it is identified.
Due to the custom nature of the goods and services provided, contracts within the Energy segment are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. A contract modification exists when the modification either retrospectivelycreates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations in the contract. For the Company, most contract modifications are related to goods or services that are not distinct from those in the original contract due to the significant interrelationship or interdependencies between the deliverables. Such modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. As a cumulative-effectresult, the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.
In addition to fixed consideration, the Company’s contracts within its Energy segment can include variable consideration, including claims, incentive fees, liquidated damages or other penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration

when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. 
Metal Coatings Segment
AZZ’s Metal Coatings segment is a provider of hot dip galvanizing, powder coating and other metal coating applications to the steel fabrication industry. Within this segment, the contract is governed by a customer purchase order or work order. The contract generally specifies the delivery of what constitutes a single performance obligation consisting of metal coating services. The Company combines contracts for revenue recognition purposes that are executed with the same customer within a short timeframe from each other and that purport to be for a single commercial objective.
The Company recognizes revenue over time as the metal coating is applied to the customer provided material as the process enhances a customer controlled asset. Contract modifications are rare within this segment and most contracts are on a fixed price basis with no variable consideration.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets (unbilled receivables), and contract liabilities (customer advances and deposits) on the consolidated balance sheet, primarily related to the Company’s Energy segment. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., weekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Billing can occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. In addition, the Company can receive advances or deposits from its customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
For the six months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recognized $20.1 million of revenues from amounts that were included in contract liabilities at February 28, 2018. The Company did not record any revenues for the three or six months ended August 31, 2018 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. The Company expects to recognize revenues of approximately $18.2 million, $4.1 million and $1.5 million in fiscal 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, related to the $23.8 million balance of contract liabilities as of August 31, 2018.
The increases or decreases in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities during the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 were due primarily to normal timing differences between the Company’s performance and customer payments. The Lectrus acquisition described in Note 8 had no impact on contract assets or liabilities as of the date of adoption. This ASUacquisition.

No general rights of return exist for customers and the Company establishes provisions for estimated warranties. The Company generally does not sell extended warranties. Revenue is effectiverecognized net of applicable sales and other taxes. The Company does not adjust the contract price for public entitiesthe effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standardthat good or service will be effective forone year or less, which is generally the Company beginning in fiscal 2019. The Companycase. Sales commissions are deferred and recognized over the same period as the related revenues. Shipping and handling is planning on adopting this standard retrospectively. We believe this standard will impact the current accounting for contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition, however the overall impact to the prior year financial results is still under review.

2.Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As previously disclosed, the Company determined that for certain contracts within its Energy Segment for which revenue was historically recognized upon contract completion and transfer of title, the Company instead should have applied the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In general, the percentage-of-completion method results in a revenue recognition pattern over timetreated as a project progressesfulfillment obligation instead of a separate performance obligation and such costs are expensed as opposed to deferring revenues until contract completion.incurred.
The Company concluded thatDisaggregated Revenue
Revenue by segment and geography is disclosed in Note 5. In addition, the impact of applying the percentage-of-completion method to itsfollowing table presents disaggregated revenue contracts was materially different from its previously reported results under its historical practice. As a result, the Company is restating its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods impacted. The following financial tables reconcile the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts for each condensed consolidated financial statement.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan, which allows employees of the Company to purchase common stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions.

purchase shares on each exercise date at the lower of 85% of the market value of a share of our common stock on the enrollment date or the exercise date. The participant’s right to purchase common stock under the plan is restricted to no more than $25,000$25,000 per calendar year and the participant may not purchase more than 5,000 shares during any offering period. Participants may terminate their interest in a given offering or a given exercise period by withdrawing all of their accumulated payroll deductions at any time prior to the end of the offering period. The fair value of the estimated number of shares to be issued under each offering is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricingoption-pricing model. For the three monthssix month period endedMay August 31, 2017,2018, the Company issued 35,44737,224 shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

RestatementAdoption of Previously Issued Financial StatementsRevenue Recognition Standard
As previously disclosed,On March 1, 2018, we determined thatadopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and the related amendments ("ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of February 28, 2018. Results for certain contracts within our Energy Segment for which revenue was historically recognized upon contract completionoperating periods beginning on or after March 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and transfer of title, we instead should have applied the percentage-of-completion methodcontinue to be reported in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 605-35, Construction-Typeaccounting standards in effect for those periods. However, for the three and Production-Type Contracts. In general, the percentage-of-completion method results in a revenue recognition pattern over time as a project progresses as opposed to deferring revenues until contract completion.
We concluded thatsix months ended August 31, 2018, the impact of applying ASC 606 as opposed to applying legacy accounting guidance did not result in a significant change to reported revenues or costs of revenues. Accordingly, no reconciliation has been provided to show the percentage-of-completion method to our revenue contracts was materially different from its previously reported results under our historical practice. As a result, we are restating our consolidated financial statementsdifference between applying ASC 606 and legacy guidance for the periods impacted.three and six months ended August 31, 2018. In addition, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings on March 1, 2018 related to the adoption. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 1condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information and a reconciliationdescription of our accounting policy resulting from the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts.adoption of ASC 606.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONSResults of Operations
We have two distinct operating segments, the Energy Segmentsegment and the Metal Coatings Segment,segment, as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017.2018. Management believes that the most meaningful analysis of our results of operations is to analyze our performance by segment. We use revenue and operating income by segment to evaluate our segments. Segment operating income consists of net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment. For a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated operating income, before income taxes, see Note 5 to our quarterly consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.10-Q.

On March 21, 2017, we executed the AmendedFinancing and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America and other lenders. The 2017 Credit Agreement amended the Credit Agreement entered into on March 27, 2013 by the following: (i) extending the maturity date until March 21, 2022, (ii) providing for a senior revolving credit facility in a principal amount of up to $450 million, with an additional $150 million accordion, (iii) including a $75 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit, (iv) including a $30 million sublimit for swing line loans, (v) restricting indebtedness incurred in respect of capital leases, synthetic lease obligations and purchase money obligations not to exceed $20 million, (vi) restricting investments in any foreign subsidiaries not to exceed $50 million in the aggregate, and (vii) including various financial covenants and certain restricted payments relating to dividends and share repurchases as specifically set forth in the 2017 Credit Agreement. The financial covenants, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement, require us to maintain on a consolidated basis a Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.25:1.0 and an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.00:1.0. The 2017 Credit Agreement will be used to finance working capital needs, capital improvements, dividends, future acquisitions, letter of credit needs and share repurchases.
Interest rates for borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement are based on either a Eurodollar Rate or a Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Eurodollar Rate is defined as LIBOR for a term equivalent to the borrowing term (or other similar interbank rates if LIBOR is unavailable). The Base Rate is defined as the highest of the applicable Fed Funds rate plus 0.50%, the Prime rate, or the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% at the time of borrowing. The Credit Agreement also carries a Commitment Fee for the unfunded portion ranging from 0.175% to 0.30% per annum, depending on our Leverage Ratio.Capital

Share Repurchase Program
In January of 2012, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to ten percent of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, and the amount and prices paid for any future share purchases under the 2017 Credit Agreement.
On March 31, 2008,authorization will be based on market conditions and other factors at the time of the purchase. Repurchases under this share repurchase authorization would be made through open market purchases or private transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amountdid not make any repurchases of its 6.24% unsecured Senior Notes (the “2008 Notes”) due Marchcommon shares during the six months ended August 31, 2018 through a private placement (the “2008 Note Offering”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company’s payment obligations with respect to the 2008 Notes may be accelerated upon any Event of Default, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement.2018.
The Company entered into an additional Note Purchase Agreement on January 21, 2011 (the “2011 Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.42% unsecured Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”), due in January of 2021, through a private placement (the “2011 Note Offering”). Pursuant to the 2011 Agreement, the Company's payment obligations with respect to the 2011 Notes may be accelerated under certain circumstances.
The 2008 Notes and the 2011 Notes each provide for various financial covenants requiring us, among other things, to a) maintain on a consolidated basis net worth (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) equal to at least the sum of $116.9 million plus 50.0% of future net income; b) maintain a ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in Note Purchase Agreement) not to exceed 3.25:1.00; c) maintain on a consolidated basis a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 2.0:1.0; d) not at any time permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Indebtedness (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to exceed 10.0% of Consolidated Net Worth.Other Exposures
As of May 31, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
Historically, we have not experienced a significant impact on our operations from increases in general inflation other than for specific commodities. We have exposure to commodity price increases in both segments of our business, primarily copper, aluminum, steel and nickel based alloys in the Energy Segmentsegment and zinc and natural gas in the Metal Coatings Segment.segment. We attempt to minimize these increases through escalation clauses in customer contracts for copper, aluminum, steel and nickel based alloys, when market conditions allow and through fixed cost contract purchases on zinc. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing process, supply chain management, and through increases in prices where competitively feasible.

OFF BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED MATTERSOff Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Other than operating leases discussed below,As of August 31, 2018, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules. Specifically, there arewere no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
Leases
WeThe following summarizes our operating lease various facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with an initial term in excess of one year.
Commodity pricing
The Company manages its exposure to commodity prices throughobligations, debt principal payments, and interest payments (based on current interest rates for variable rate debt) for the useremainder of the following:next five years and beyond (in thousands):
In the Energy Segment, we have exposure to commodity pricing for copper, aluminum, steel, and nickel based alloys. Because the Energy Segment does not commit contractually to minimum volumes, increases in price for these items are normally managed through escalation clauses in customer contracts, although during difficult market conditions these escalation clauses may not be obtainable. In addition, we attempt to enter into firm pricing contracts with our vendors on material at the time we receive orders from our customers to minimize risk.
In the Metal Coatings Segment, we utilize contracts with our zinc suppliers that include protective caps and fixed cost contracts to guard against rising zinc prices. We also secure firm pricing for natural gas supplies with individual utilities when possible. Management believes these agreements ensure adequate supplies and partially offset exposure to commodity price swings.
We have no contracted commitments for any commodities including steel, aluminum, natural gas, nickel based alloys, copper, zinc or any other commodity, except for those entered into under the normal course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
MarketThere have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk affecting our operations results primarily from changes in interest rates and commodity prices. We have only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and are notdisclosures during the first six months of fiscal 2019. For a party to any leveraged derivatives.
Indiscussion of the Energy Segment, we haveCompany’s exposure to commodity pricingmarket risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for copper, aluminum, steel and nickel based alloys. Increases in price for these items are normally managed through escalation clauses in our customers' contracts, although during difficult market conditions customers' may resist these escalation clauses. In addition, we attempt to enter into firm pricing contracts with our vendors on material at the time we receive orders from our customers to minimize risk. We manage our exposures to commodity prices, primarily zinc used in our Metal Coatings Segment, by utilizing agreements with zinc suppliers that include protective caps and fixed contracts to guard against escalating commodity prices. We also secure firm pricing for natural gas supplies with individual utilities when possible. We believe these agreements ensure adequate supplies and partially offset exposure to commodity price escalation.

As of May 31, 2017, the Company had exposure to foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada, China, Brazil, Poland, and the Netherlands.
We do not believe that a hypothetical change of 10% of the interest rates or currency exchange rates that are currently in effect or a change of 10% of commodity prices would have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows as long as we are able to pass along the increases in commodity prices to our customers. However, there can be no assurance that either interest rates, exchange rates or commodity prices will not change in excess of the 10% hypothetical amount or that we would be able to pass along rising costs of commodity prices to our customers, and such hypothetical change could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weakness described below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q/A10-Q to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q/A10-Q to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Subsequent toAs previously disclosed, after filing the Company’s quarterly report onour Form 10-Q for the periodquarter ended August 31, 2017, an error was discovered related to the Company’s historical revenue recognition policies and procedures. In particular, the Company determined that for certain contracts within its Energy Segmentsegment for which revenue was historically recognized upon contract completion and transfer of title, the Company instead should have applied the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. This error resulted in a material misstatement of the financial statements and required restatement of the financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2017. This error, which was not detected timely by management, was the result of inadequate design of controls pertaining to the Company’s review and ongoing monitoring of its revenue recognition policies. The deficiency represents a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weakness identified above. The remediation plan includes i) the implementation of new controls designed to evaluate the appropriateness of revenue recognition policies and procedures, ii) new controls over recording revenue transactions, and iii) additional training.
Management believes the measures described above and others that may be implemented will remediate the material weaknesses that we have identified. As management continues to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified. Procedures are in place, but subsequent testing of the operational effectiveness of the new controls is necessary to validate that the material weakness is fully remediated.
Subject to these remediation efforts, that were implemented after May 31, 2017, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On January 11, 2018, Logan Mullins, acting on behalf of himself and a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities between April 22, 2015 and January 8, 2018, filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and two of its executive officers, Thomas E. Ferguson and Paul W. Fehlman. Logan Mullins v. AZZ, Inc., et al., Case No. 4:18-cv-00025-Y. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company's SEC filings contained statements that were rendered materially false and misleading by the Company's alleged failure to properly recognize revenue related to certain contracts in its Energy Segment in purported violation of (1) Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 and (2) Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiffs seek an award of compensatory and punitive damages, interests, attorneys' fees and costs. The Company denies the allegations and believes it has strong defenses to vigorously contest them. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this action nor when it will be resolved. If the plaintiffs were to prevail in this matter, the Company could be liable for damages, which could potentially be material and could adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various routine lawsuits incidental to our business.  These proceedings include labor and employment claims, use of the Company’s intellectual property, worker’s compensation and various environmental matters, all arising in the normal course of business.  Although the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any potential liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other matters cannot be predicted at this time, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not expect liabilities, if any, from these claims or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
