MATRIX SERVICE ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED
MARCH 31, 2011
TULSA, OK – May 3, 2011 – Matrix Service Co. (Nasdaq: MTRX) today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Results
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $136.3 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 11.7%, from revenues of $122.0 million in the same period a year earlier. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $4.9 million, or $0.18 per fully diluted share. Net income was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, in the same period a year earlier.
Michael J. Hall, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Matrix Service Company, said, “We are pleased with the results for the quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2011. We continue to see a number of attractive project opportunities across our core markets and are encouraged by the volume of bid activity and improving market conditions in both the Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services segments.”
Consolidated gross profit was $18.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase of $5.3 million was due to higher revenues and higher gross margins which increased to 13.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 10.9% in the same period a year earlier. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to the favorable effect of improved recovery of construction overhead costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 when compared to the same period a year earlier. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $10.9 million compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The third quarter of fiscal 2010 selling, general and administrative expenses included non-routine charges totaling $3.5 million related to acquired claim receivables. The third quarter of fiscal 2011 selling, general and administrative expenses included higher incentive compensation costs due to improved operating results when compared to the same period a year earlier.
Nine Month Fiscal 2011 Results
Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $463.4 million, an increase of $53.3 million, or 13.0%, from consolidated revenues of $410.1 million in the same period a year earlier. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $13.3 million, or $0.50 per fully diluted share. Net income was $9.1 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, in the comparable period a year earlier.
Consolidated gross profit was $54.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $49.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $4.8 million was largely due to the effect of higher revenues, partially offset by the effect of lower gross margins which decreased to 11.7% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 12.0% in the same period a year earlier. The change in gross margins was due to lower direct margins largely offset by the favorable effect of improved recovery of construction overhead costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $32.7 million compared to $34.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 included non-routine charges totaling $4.4 million related to acquired claim receivables. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 included non-routine charges of $0.6 million related to an internal fraud investigation disclosed in prior quarters, and higher incentive compensation costs due to improved operating results when compared to the same period a year earlier.
Financial Position
At March 31, 2011, Matrix Service’s cash balance was $63.4 million. The Company did not borrow under its revolving credit facility during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Backlog
The consolidated backlog at March 31, 2011 totaled $383.9 million, an increase of $17.9 million, or 4.9%, compared to the backlog at December 31, 2010, and an increase of $30.7 million, or 8.7%, compared to the backlog at June 30, 2010.

Backlog
We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenues that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:
| • | fixed-price arrangements; |
| • | minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and |
| • | certain time and material contracts in which the estimated contract value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts. |
For long-term maintenance contracts we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less the revenue recognized as of the reporting date.
