ROBBINS & MYERS ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS AND DIVIDEND

Positive Momentum Continues with Strong Performance across Both Segments

HOUSTON, TEXAS, March 27, 2012…Robbins & Myers, Inc. (NYSE: RBN) today reported diluted net earnings per share (DEPS) of $0.84 for its fiscal second quarter ended February 29, 2012. This is compared with $0.28, or $0.58 from continuing operations adjusting for one-time charges relating to the acquisition of T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (T-3), in the prior year second quarter.

Consolidated sales were $256 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared with $184 million in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of currency translation and T-3, sales grew 24% over the prior year period. The Company reported second quarter 2012 orders of $294 million, which included orders of $96 million for T-3. Excluding the impact of currency translation and T-3, orders increased 35% over the prior year period. Second quarter ending backlog was $301 million, compared to $221 million at the end of the prior year period and $260 million at the end of the prior quarter. Each of Robbins & Myers’ business segments achieved strong growth.

Second quarter 2012 earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were $57 million, significantly higher than the adjusted EBIT of $34 million reported in the second quarter of 2011, which excluded the one-time charges relating to the acquisition of T-3. EBIT margin was 22.3% for the second quarter of 2012, substantially higher than the 18.3% adjusted EBIT margin in the prior year period, as a result of improved profitability in each business segment. The Company reported EBITDA of $65 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $39 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Each business segment showed improved profitability, primarily related to additional volume, T-3 synergy benefits in the Energy Services segment and cost savings in the Process & Flow Control segment.

“We are pleased with the continued order strength and performance in both of our business segments,” said Peter C. Wallace, President and Chief Executive Officer of Robbins & Myers, Inc. “We continue to see strong end market demand in the energy sector, with any weakness attributable to low natural gas prices being offset with demand in the oil sector. While most of the cost synergies related to the T-3 acquisition have been achieved, we are now seeing the benefits in selling opportunities with key account relationships and other functional areas as the Energy Services segment continues to become more cohesive. We should also reap the benefit of the manufacturing capacity expansion coming on board in our third quarter for power section relines. In the Process & Flow Control segment we are seeing stronger demand in the developing areas of the world, as we expected last quarter, and continue to see the cost benefits from the restructuring actions in Europe the last two years.”

Robbins & Myers reported that it generated $17 million of cash from operating activities, after a $10 million discretionary pension contribution, in the second quarter of fiscal


2012. In the same period of the prior year the Company used $10 million in operating activities. The increase is attributable to higher net income in 2012 and payments related to the T-3 acquisition in the prior year. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012 the Company purchased 1.7 million of its outstanding shares for $79 million.

Updated Guidance

Based on recent financial performance, Robbins & Myers increased its fiscal 2012 adjusted DEPS forecast from $3.00-$3.20 to $3.40-$3.60 and expects to earn $0.80-$0.90 in its third quarter of 2012. This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 43.4 million for the second half of fiscal 2012, which gives effect to the share purchase activity to date.

Second Quarter Results by Segment

All comparisons are made against the comparable year-ago quarterly period unless otherwise stated.

The Company’s Energy Services segment reported orders of $196 million, an increase of $85 million over the prior year period. Excluding T-3, orders increased $36 million, or 55% over the prior year period. Sales were $168 million in the second quarter, or $94 million excluding T-3, an increase of 36% over the prior year period. EBIT was $50 million or 30.1% of sales. Ending backlog of $172 million compared with $121 million at the end of the prior year.

The Process & Flow Control segment reported orders of $98 million, an increase of 17% due to improving demand for capital goods in certain regional chemical markets. Sales of $88 million were 11% higher then the prior year. The business reported $10 million of EBIT in the second quarter of 2012, 10.8% of sales as compared with $6 million and 7.0% of sales in the prior year period. Backlog was $129 million as of February 29, 2012.

EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin %, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its businesses, and allocates resources to its businesses based on EBIT. EBIT is not, however, a measure of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating results. EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not a measure of cash available for use by the Company. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations should not be considered as an alternative to reported net income as an indicator of performance.
