Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2023.
Key highlights:
Project awards of $463.6 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 2.3 for the quarter; full fiscal year awards of $1.3 billion and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.7; highest quarterly project awards in five years
Backlog increased by 31% to $1.1 billion compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and by 85% since the start of the fiscal year; highest backlog level since June 30, 2019
Fourth quarter revenue of $205.9 million, an increase of 10% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023; full fiscal year revenue of $795.0 million
Loss per fully diluted share of $0.01 in the fourth quarter; adjusted loss per fully diluted share of $0.11(1) excluding gain on the sale of non-core assets and other non-cash items
Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million(1) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $(7.7) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023
“I am extremely pleased with the progress Matrix made over the last year and excited about the prospects for the company. We ended our fiscal year on a very strong note with backlog of $1.1 billion. In the fourth quarter alone, awards of nearly $464 million resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 2.3. The company is positioned with high quality backlog which will generate significantly improved results in fiscal 2024 and the next several years,” said John R. Hewitt, president and CEO. “As we commence work on recently awarded large capital projects, we have strong visibility into our revenue and are focused on maximizing our profitability after undergoing an internal transformation that has optimized our cost structure. Our strategic approach to end markets supported by strong tailwinds will lead to continued backlog growth and strong performance for the foreseeable future.”
Earnings Summary
Revenue of $205.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was higher than revenue of $186.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as the contribution to revenue of newly awarded projects has begun to make an impact.
Gross margin was 7.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a gross margin of 2.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Our margins improved sequentially due to strong project execution and improved construction overhead cost recovery.
In the Storage and Terminals Solutions segment, revenue increased to $64.1 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $52.2 million in the third quarter as a result of revenue contribution from recently awarded capital projects. Gross margin of 3.2% was negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs.
In the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, revenue increased to $39.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to $35.0 million in the third quarter. Fourth quarter gross margin was 9.6%, primarily driven by strong execution on power delivery projects and a peak shaver project added to backlog during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This segment fully recovered construction overhead costs, which contributed to margin performance.
In the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, revenue increased to $102.7 million in the fourth quarter compared to $99.7 million in the third quarter. Fourth quarter gross margin of 8.2% was negatively impacted by continued work to close out a midstream gas processing project with a reduced margin profile. This project reached mechanical completion in line with our previous forecast, and we will be demobilized in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Other work in the segment, including refinery turnaround and maintenance, aerospace, and a renewable diesel project, which amounted to approximately 80% of segment revenue, produced a gross margin of approximately 10% on strong project execution. This segment fully recovered construction overhead costs, which contributed to margin performance.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $17.0 million in the fourth quarter, consistent with the first three quarters of the year. The company continues to focus on cost control and expects to leverage its optimized cost structure as revenue improves.
Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 9.9% compared to 2.8% in third 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.
For the fourth quarter, we had a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.47 per share, in the third quarter. For the fourth quarter, we had an adjusted net loss of $3.1 million, or $0.11 per share, which excluded the gain on the sale of non-core assets and other non-cash items. This compares to an adjusted net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.33 per share, in the third quarter(1).
Backlog
Our backlog of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2023 represents an 85% year-over-year increase and the largest backlog since June 30, 2019. Project awards totaled $463.6 million and $1.3 billion during the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, leading to book-to-bill ratios of 2.3 and 1.7 for the three and twelve-month periods, respectively. Bidding activity remains strong, and while the timing of project awards can fluctuate, we expect the trend of improving backlog to continue.

1947: The story of Cavan's All Ireland win in New York
09:01, 04 May 2011
Shane Stapleton
The passing of Owen Roe McGovern, the last surviving member of Cavan’s 1947 team, brings to mind one of the most famous climaxes ever to a GAA season.
It was the one and only year in the history of the sport that an All Ireland final was held outside Ireland. New York in 1947 was the scene. It is hard to imagine that happening again in the foreseeable future, what with that novelty being reserved merely for the inter-provincial championships in recent times.
When the GAA took the All Ireland football final to the Polo Grounds in 1947, it did so as a goodwill gesture to the Irish diaspora of America. It has also been suggested that it was a means of commemorating the great famine of 100 years previously. In any case, Canon Hamilton of Clare had lobbied the GAA Congress for three years before he got his wish to take the game across the Atlantic.
Before that, the championship ran its business as usual. The provincial championships were played out with Meath, Kerry, Roscommon and Cavan picking up local honours. The Kingdom ousted the Royals in their final-four meeting and, in the other semi-final, the Breffni County accounted for the Rossies. All of which meant league champions Cavan and Kerry were the two counties given the distinguished honour of flying the Irish flag in the US with the hope of bolstering the diminishing profile of Gaelic games there.
Most of the Cavan team took a 29-hour flight – including a stopover in the Azores – from Shannon out to the Big Apple whereas the majority of the Kerry party took a six-day journey by sea from Cobh on the SS Mauretania. McGovern also went on rather than above the Atlantic Ocean. “I travelled over by boat and it was a desperate hot day when we arrived,” he said in The Big Apple.
Radió Éireann sent over Micheál O’Hehir to cover the match, and it happened to be the company’s first live radio broadcast from outside Ireland. Typical Irish, there was some panic leading up to the game as a line on which to broadcast the game had not been booked, though that issue was eventually ironed out with one ordered from 3:30 until 5pm New York-time. A tight window but one big enough to squeeze the game through.
As those who play in modern GAA games in New York will attest, the scorching conditions turned out to be far from suitable for a Gaelic football match, least of all an All Ireland final. The pitch belonged to a baseball team, the New York Giants, and as well as the pitch being extremely hard and bald in patches, there was even a noticeable mound on the pitch. Given that it was an extremely hot day and, by means of combating the conditions, many of the Kerry players wore jockey caps. Adjacent to the pitch, trouble was also afoot for O’Hehir and Co as, with the playing of both the Irish and American anthems and the ceremonial throw in by Mayo native Bill O'Dwyer, who was Mayor, the game did not start until 3:40. The broadcasting window had been narrowed.
When the game did commence, it was the Kingdom who threatened to turn the game into a rout. They had beaten their rivals at the same level 10 years previously and a quick two-goal headstart suggested that would be the way of it at the Polo Grounds, even more so considering they had two more efforts disallowed.
But Cavan regrouped as Joe Stafford and Mick Higgins pulled goals back. The latter, Higgins, had actually been born in New York and so would go on to capture the first of his All Ireland titles in the same city. The hero of the hour was Peter Donohoe who scored eight points for Cavan and was dubbed by the local media as ‘The Babe Ruth of Gaelic football’.
And yet still there was a problem for O’Hehir and all the radio listeners in Ireland 3,000 miles away: it was now 4:55 in New York, meaning there was just five more minutes of broadcasting time booked, yet there was still 10 minutes of the game to be played. O’Hehir pleaded blindly and hopefully down the airwaves for the coverage to be allowed to continue and luckily someone was listening, as he was able to talk on until the final score: Cavan 2-11 Kerry 2-07.
“The celebrations were great afterwards," McGovern stated. "We were wined and dined and never let buy a drink anywhere. There were a lot of people who wanted to celebrate with us and they all wanted us to come into their pub afterwards.
“There were big celebrations when we came home as well. We came back on The Queen Mary and when we arrived in Dublin the welcome we got was terrific. We got a bus down to Cavan and there was nothing to beat the celebrations.”
McGovern finished his career with two All Irelands, two national leagues and four Ulster titles for Cavan before moving to New Jersey, and sadly passing away. The last link has been broken but a great story remains.
