ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 08 5 2023 15:05:43 America/Chicago

TULSA, Okla., May 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX), through its subsidiaries, is a leading North American industrial engineering, construction, and maintenance contractor headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma with offices located throughout the United States and Canada, as well as Sydney, Australia and Seoul, South Korea.

Key highlights:

Project awards of $308.7 million produced a book-to-bill of 1.7 for the quarter; year-to-date awards of $862.0 million produced a book-to-bill of 1.5
Backlog increased by 12% to $832.4 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, up 41% since the beginning of the fiscal year
Third quarter revenue of $186.9 million, an increase of 6% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022
Loss per share of $0.47; adjusted loss per share of $0.33⁽¹⁾
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $7.7 million⁽¹⁾ for the third quarter of fiscal 2023

“We continued to see strong award momentum in our third fiscal quarter, which is reflected in a book-to-bill of 1.7, our seventh consecutive quarter at or above 1.0. We have now received $862.0 million of project awards, up 35 percent over the same period in the prior fiscal year, and bidding activity continues to be strong. We expect the trend in backlog growth to continue in the coming quarters,” said Matrix Service Company president and CEO John R. Hewitt. "As we begin work on several recently awarded large projects, especially in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, we expect our financial performance to significantly improve in our fourth fiscal quarter."

Earnings Summary

Revenue of $186.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was lower than revenue of $193.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as certain projects awarded in prior periods continue to work off while the contribution to revenue of newly awarded projects is still limited as they progress through engineering and planning stages.

Gross margin was 2.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.7%) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Our results of operations were primarily impacted by revenue levels, which led to under-recovery of construction overhead costs in some operating units. In addition, our results were impacted by increased forecasted costs to complete and close out certain midstream gas processing work, which was partly offset by the net positive impact of strong performance of other projects.

In the Storage and Terminals Solutions segment, revenue decreased to $52.2 million in the third quarter as compared to $62.5 million in the second quarter. Project awards, which have been strong with a year-to-date book-to-bill of 1.6, will begin to substantially impact revenue in the fourth quarter. Negative gross margin of (1.6%) for the quarter was primarily caused by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. Revenue volumes during the quarter were lower as the strong storage project awards received in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 are not expected to positively impact revenue until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

In the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, revenue increased 23% to $99.7 million in the third quarter compared to $80.8 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily related to refinery turnarounds and maintenance. Third quarter gross margin of 3.2% was negatively impacted by increased forecasted costs to complete and close out midstream gas processing capital work, which resulted in reducing gross profit by $3.3 million for the quarter. We expect this work to be mechanically complete by the beginning of July 2023. Segment gross margin was also negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. Other work in the segment, including refinery turnaround and maintenance, aerospace, and mining and minerals, which amounted to approximately 80% of segment revenue, produced a gross margin of approximately 10% on strong project execution.

In the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, revenue decreased to $35.0 million in the third quarter compared to $50.5 million in the second quarter following completion of peak shaver work which positively impacted revenue in the first half of the year. Revenue from a peak shaver project added to backlog in the second quarter will not begin to benefit revenue until late in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Third quarter gross margin was 8.0%. This margin was driven by good execution on of a mix of work that that was primarily comprised of reimbursable power delivery work. As the volume of LNG peak shaving work increases in this segment, we will be able to sustain and exceed this gross margin level.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $16.9 million in the third quarter, consistent with the first two quarters of the year. The Company continued its focus on cost control and expects to leverage the cost structure as revenues improve beginning in the fourth quarter.

Our effective tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 2.8% compared to 0.0% in second quarter. The effective tax rates for both periods were impacted by the valuation allowance placed on all our deferred tax assets due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. As a result, we expect the effective tax rate to be around zero throughout the fiscal year.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we had a net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to a net loss of $32.8 million, or $1.22 per share, in the second quarter. For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we had an adjusted net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.53 per share, in the second quarter⁽¹⁾.

Backlog

Our backlog increased by $91.9 million from the end of the prior quarter to $832.4 million as of March 31, 2023. Project awards totaled $308.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, leading to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.7. On a segment basis, the third quarter book-to-bill was 0.7 for Utility and Power Infrastructure, driven largely by bookings of power delivery work. For Process and Industrial Facilities, the book-to-bill was 2.2, driven largely by the award of a significant construction project to upgrade a natural gas compressor station. For Storage and Terminal Solutions, the quarterly book-to-bill was 1.3, driven by a mix of smaller awards for capital projects as well as various tank maintenance and repair work. The table below summarizes our awards, book-to-bill ratios and backlog by segment for our third fiscal quarter (amounts are in thousands, except for book-to-bill ratios):

__________________
(1)	Calculated by dividing project awards by revenue recognized during the period.
(2)	Backlog was reduced by $30.0 million to account for a reduction of work available to us in an existing facility upgrade and service program.

Financial Position

As of March 31, 2023, we had total liquidity of $92.4 million and $15.0 million in debt. Liquidity is comprised of $48.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $44.2 million of borrowing availability under the ABL Facility. The company also has $25.0 million of restricted cash to support the ABL Facility.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted loss and adjusted loss per share are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, the accelerated amortization of deferred debt amendment fees associated with the prior credit agreement, the tax impact of these first three items, and the financial impact of a valuation allowance placed on our deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section included at the end of this release for a reconciliation to net loss and net loss per share.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed ("LNTP") or other type of assurance that we consider firm. The following arrangements are considered firm:

fixed-price awards;
minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and
certain time and material arrangements in which the estimated value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.

For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which we have received a LNTP, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that the likelihood of the full project proceeding as high. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

__________________
(1)	This table presents non-GAAP financial measures of our adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The most directly comparable financial measures are net loss and loss per share, respectively, presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they more clearly depict our core operating results during the periods presented and provide a more comparable measure of our operating results to other companies considered to be in similar businesses. Since adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
(2)	Interest expense in fiscal 2022 included $1.5 million of accelerated amortization of deferred debt amendment fees.
(3)	We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future, or cumulative losses are no longer present and our future projections for growth or tax planning strategies are demonstrated. We placed valuation allowances of $3.6 million and $13.3 million on newly created net operating loss carry forwards generated from losses in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

This table presents Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net loss before goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Adjusted EBITDA has certain material limitations as follows:

It does not include impairment to goodwill. While impairment to goodwill is a non-cash expense in the period recognized, cash or other consideration was still transferred in exchange for goodwill in the period of the acquisition. Any measure that excludes impairment to goodwill has material limitations since this expense represents the loss of an asset that was acquired in exchange for cash or other assets.
It does not include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs represent material costs that we incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.
It does not include stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to our employees and directors for services rendered. While the expense is non-cash, we release vested shares out of our treasury stock, which has historically been replenished by using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.
It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and to acquire businesses, pay commitment fees to maintain our senior secured revolving credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of our operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.
It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.
