Insights

IES Holdings' Q3 fiscal 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance across all segments. The company reported impressive year-over-year growth, with revenue increasing by 31% to $768 million and net income surging by 175% to $62.1 million. This translates to a diluted EPS of $2.67, up from $0.81 in the same quarter last year.

Key drivers of this growth include:

  • Strong demand in the data center market, benefiting Communications, Infrastructure Solutions and Commercial & Industrial segments
  • Expansion of plumbing and HVAC services in the Residential segment
  • Strategic acquisitions, including Greiner Industries and the remaining stake in Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning
  • Improved operating margins across all segments due to process improvements and increased scale

The company's backlog of $1.7 billion and remaining performance obligations of $1.2 billion suggest a strong pipeline for future revenue. However, investors should note the potential slowdown in the multi-family market and the expected decrease in Commercial & Industrial segment revenue as a large data center project nears completion.

The new $200 million share repurchase program, following the full utilization of the previous $40 million authorization, signals management's confidence in the company's future prospects and commitment to returning value to shareholders.

Overall, IES Holdings' diversified business model, strategic expansions and strong execution position it well for continued growth, despite potential headwinds in certain markets.

IES Holdings' Q3 results reflect broader trends in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly the booming data center market. The company's strategic focus on high-growth areas and service diversification has paid off handsomely.

Key market insights:

  • Data center demand remains robust, driven by AI and cloud computing growth. This trend is likely to continue, benefiting IES's Communications, Infrastructure Solutions and Commercial & Industrial segments.
  • The residential construction market shows resilience, with IES outpacing general housing market growth through service expansion and market share gains.
  • Multi-family construction may face headwinds, but IES's multi-trade capabilities could provide a competitive edge.
  • Infrastructure investments, particularly in power solutions, remain strong, supporting the Infrastructure Solutions segment's growth.

IES's expansion into plumbing and HVAC services is timely, given the increasing demand for integrated building solutions and energy-efficient systems. This diversification strategy could help buffer against potential slowdowns in any single market.

The company's ability to improve margins across all segments, despite inflationary pressures, suggests strong pricing power and operational efficiency. This positions IES well in a competitive market landscape.

Investors should monitor the potential impact of macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and inflation on construction activity, as well as any shifts in government infrastructure spending policies that could affect IES's future performance.

From a legal perspective, IES Holdings' Q3 fiscal 2024 report raises several noteworthy points:

  • Acquisitions and Integration: The company's recent acquisitions, including Greiner Industries and the remaining stake in Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, will require careful integration to avoid potential legal issues related to employment, contracts and regulatory compliance.
  • Share Repurchase Program: The new $200 million share repurchase program must be executed in compliance with SEC regulations, particularly regarding timing and volume restrictions to avoid market manipulation concerns.
  • Financial Reporting: The use of non-GAAP financial measures, while providing valuable insights, must be carefully presented alongside GAAP measures to ensure compliance with SEC guidance on the use of non-GAAP financial information.
  • Backlog and Future Performance: Statements regarding backlog and future performance must be carefully worded to avoid potential securities law violations related to forward-looking statements.
  • Tax Implications: The substantial utilization of federal tax net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 2023 will result in a higher cash tax rate in fiscal 2024, requiring careful tax planning and compliance.

IES Holdings appears to be managing these legal considerations effectively, with appropriate disclosures and cautionary language in their financial reporting. However, as the company continues to grow and expand into new markets and service offerings, ongoing legal vigilance will be important to navigate potential regulatory challenges and maintain compliance across all operations.

Overview of Results

“Our continued strong financial performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 reflects the benefit of the investments we have made to support the growth of our businesses," said Jeff Gendell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our Residential segment continues to expand our plumbing and HVAC service offerings into markets where we previously offered only electrical services, while also expanding all service offerings into new geographic markets. These expansions, combined with increasing market share in existing electrical markets, have resulted in our Residential segment's growth outpacing growth of the housing market in general. Our Communications, Infrastructure Solutions, and Commercial & Industrial segments continued to benefit from strong demand, particularly in the data center market. Operating margins across all four segments were strong, reflecting process improvements, robust customer demand, operating leverage from our increased scale and strong project execution across all four segments. We expect continued strong performance for the remainder of this fiscal year and into fiscal 2025.

"We have continued to focus on capital allocation, putting our operating cash flow to work to grow the business. As previously announced, in April 2024, we acquired Greiner Industries, based in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and acquired a previously leased facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina to provide additional capacity to support strong customer demand in our Infrastructure Solutions segment. In addition, in June 2024, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, in which we purchased our initial 80% interest in December, 2020. Robbie Blankenship, previously CEO of Bayonet and part owner of the business, will take an expanded leadership role in developing the plumbing and HVAC service offerings throughout our residential end markets as Vice President of HVAC and Plumbing for all of IES Residential. Collectively, these actions support our strategy of expanding product offerings and geographic reach to meet the needs of our customers. Finally, we repurchased $20.9 million in shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2024."

Our Communications segment’s revenue was $192.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 36% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Increased demand across the business, particularly in the data center end market, drove the growth, while demand in the high tech manufacturing and distribution center end markets also remained strong. The segment's operating income increased to $21.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $13.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as we benefited from increased volumes and favorable contract pricing.

Our Residential segment’s revenue was $377.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 19% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Our single-family business benefited from strong demand and expansion of our plumbing and HVAC service offerings, while successful execution of backlog contributed to revenue growth in our multi-family business. While the outlook in the multi-family market suggests new project activity may slow over the coming year, we expect that continued expansion of our plumbing and HVAC offerings and our ability to offer multiple trades to our customers will provide additional growth opportunities for our business. The Residential segment’s operating income increased to $43.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $15.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Margins increased year over year as a result of favorable purchases of certain materials and improved project execution in our multi-family business, as well as improved procurement processes and more disciplined project selection implemented as part of the reorganization of our Residential segment we began in April 2023.

Our Infrastructure Solutions segment’s revenue was $102.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 79% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2023, driven by continued strong demand in our custom power solutions business, including generator enclosures, primarily for the data center end market. Greiner Industries, which we acquired on April 1, 2024, contributed $15.3 million of the increase. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $19.8 million, compared with $8.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year profit improvement was driven primarily by higher volumes, improved pricing and operating efficiencies at our facilities as well as the impact of investments we have made over the last several years to increase capacity. Greiner contributed $0.7 million of operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Our Commercial & Industrial segment’s revenue was $96.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 42% compared with $67.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, while segment operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $13.0 million, compared with $2.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The improved results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 largely reflect a strong contribution from a large data center project where we completed additions to the original scope of work at favorable margins. We also benefited from solid execution and improved bid margins across the business. As the large data center project that enhanced recent quarters' financial performance approaches completion, we expect segment revenue and operating income to decrease next fiscal quarter, as compared with the second and third quarters of fiscal 2024, when activity on this project was at its peak.

Matt Simmes, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “We are pleased with continued strong operating margins in all four of our business segments. Our investments to upgrade and expand capacity in our Infrastructure Solutions business have allowed us to materially increase capacity while adding new product offerings through the Greiner acquisition, and we continue to see improved margins from some of our prior years' expansions. Our Commercial & Industrial segment is approaching completion of a large project that has benefited recent quarters, and will continue to evaluate opportunities for future projects, while maintaining a focus on managing contract risk. As our Residential segment continues process improvements stemming from the reorganization started in April 2023, we are well positioned to continue to pursue profitable growth, including through the national expansion of the HVAC and plumbing trades under the leadership of Robbie Blankenship, who grew these service offerings significantly in the Florida market at Bayonet.”

“In line with our proven capital allocation strategy, we were able to use our strong balance sheet and put our cash to work," added Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer. "During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we invested $102.4 million on the Greiner acquisition, the purchase of the Rock Hill facility, and the purchase of the noncontrolling interest in Bayonet. We also deployed $20.9 million to acquire 157,505 shares under our share repurchase program. Despite these cash outlays, we ended the quarter with a cash balance of $44.9 million. We continued repurchasing shares under the program after quarter end, purchasing an additional 119,041 shares for $16.7 million in July 2024, which fully utilized the $40 million previously authorized by our Board. We expect to continue our strong cash flow generation for the remainder of fiscal 2024, positioning us to fund both organic expansion and acquisitions, as well as provide capital for stock repurchases or other investments. Finally, as a reminder, we substantially utilized our federal tax net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal 2023, and as a result, we will have a higher cash tax rate in fiscal 2024.”

Stock Buyback Plan

In December 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new $40 million stock repurchase program. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 157,505 shares under this repurchase program for $20.9 million. The Company had $16.7 million remaining authorized at June 30, 2024, and had fully utilized the remaining authorization as of July 31, 2024, reflecting purchases subsequent to quarter end. On July 31, 2024, the Board approved a new $200 million share repurchase program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments

This press release includes adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, and backlog, and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included herein, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income before taxes, each of which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to our investors by, in the case of adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income before taxes, distinguishing certain nonrecurring events such as litigation settlements, significant expenses associated with leadership changes, or gains or losses from the sale of a business, or noncash events, such as impairment charges or our valuation allowances release and write-down of our deferred tax assets, or, in the case of backlog, providing a common measurement used in IES's industry, as described further below, and that these measures, when reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, help our investors to better identify underlying trends in the operations of our business and facilitate easier comparisons of our financial performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. While backlog is not a defined term under GAAP, it is a common measurement used in IES’s industry and IES believes this non-GAAP measure enables it to more effectively forecast its future results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. IES’s remaining performance obligations are a component of IES’s backlog calculation, which also includes signed agreements and letters of intent which we do not have a legal right to enforce prior to work starting. These arrangements are excluded from remaining performance obligations until work begins. IES’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.

For further details on the Company’s financial results, please refer to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by August 2, 2024, and any amendments thereto.
