(1) Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures as defined and reconciled in the tables below.
Tom Ferguson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, commented, "Focused execution and seasonal strength contributed to second quarter sales of $409.0 million, up 2.6% over the prior year, and Adjusted EPS of $1.37. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin grew to 22.5%, primarily driven by higher volume for hot-dip galvanized steel and coil-coated materials and operational productivity over the prior year. Metal Coatings benefited from the diversity of its serviced markets, improved zinc utilization, and delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 31.7%. Precoat Metals' Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 21.1%, primarily due to sales growth, favorable mix and improved operational performance.
Our fiscal year-to-date cash from operations of $119.4 million allowed us to reduce debt by $45.0 million and continue to reduce our net leverage ratio to 2.7x at the end of the quarter. We are on pace to exceed our previously stated target debt reduction range of $60 to $90 million, and now expect debt reduction of at least $100 million in the fiscal year. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we repriced our Term Loan B, resulting in a 75-basis point reduction in our borrowing rate with no other changes to our terms, covenants, or maturity date. Capital expenditures for the second quarter were $32.1 million, including $19.4 million of spending related to the new Washington, Missouri, facility, which is on budget and schedule. I want to thank all of our dedicated AZZ employees for their work this quarter on both sales volume, and productivity improvements and for continuing pride and passion for delivering outstanding quality and service to our customers, while driving operational excellence," Ferguson concluded.
Fiscal Year 2025 Second Quarter Segment Performance
AZZ Metal Coatings
Sales of $171.5 million increased by 1.0% over the second quarter of last year, primarily due to slightly increased volume supported by infrastructure spending, including construction, bridge and highway, transmission and distribution, and renewables. Segment EBITDA of $54.4 million resulted in EBITDA margin of 31.7%, on increased volume and zinc productivity improvement, an increase of 130 basis points from the prior year second quarter.
AZZ Precoat Metals
Sales of $237.5 million increased by 3.8% over the second quarter of last year on increased volume driven by growth in end markets including construction, HVAC, and transportation. Segment EBITDA of $50.2 million resulted in EBITDA margin of 21.1%, an increase of 80 basis points from the prior year second quarter.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
The Company generated significant operating cash of $119.4 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 through improved earnings and disciplined working capital management.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the "Adjusted Earnings Measures"), which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency when comparing operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for future capital investment and debt reduction. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Management defines adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to exclude intangible asset amortization, acquisition expenses, transaction related expenses, certain legal settlements and accruals, and certain expenses related to non-recurring events from the reported GAAP measure. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest and provision for income taxes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt and its capacity for making capital expenditures in the future.
Management provides non-GAAP financial measures for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the Company’s GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider these measures in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and undue reliance should not be placed on these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
The following tables provides a reconciliation for the three months ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023 between the non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Measures to the most comparable measures, calculated in accordance with GAAP (dollars in thousands, except per share data):
