The company maintains strong liquidity of $211.7 million with no outstanding debt.

Matrix Service Company (MTRX) ha riportato i risultati del secondo trimestre dell'anno fiscale 2025, con ricavi pari a 187,2 milioni di dollari, in aumento del 7% rispetto all'anno precedente.

L'azienda mantiene una liquidità solida di 211,7 milioni di dollari senza debiti in sospeso. La direzione ha abbassato la previsione di ricavi per l'intero anno di circa il 5% a causa di ritardi temporanei nei permessi e nell'avvio dei progetti, ma si aspetta un ritorno alla redditività nella seconda metà dell'anno fiscale 2025, con una crescita dei ricavi superiore al 40% rispetto all'anno precedente.

Positive
  • Strong liquidity position of $211.7M with zero debt
  • Revenue increased 7% YoY to $187.2M
  • Storage and Terminal Solutions segment revenue up 53%
  • Utility and Power Infrastructure segment revenue up 52%
  • Expected 40% revenue growth in H2 FY2025
  • Substantial backlog of $1.3B
Negative
  • Net loss widened to $(0.20) per share from $(0.10)
  • Book-to-bill ratio declined to 0.5x
  • Process and Industrial Facilities segment revenue decreased significantly
  • 5% reduction in full-year revenue forecast
  • Gross margin declined to 5.8% from 6.0%

Insights

Matrix Service Company's Q2 FY2025 results present a complex picture that requires careful analysis. While topline growth of 7% appears positive, deeper examination reveals concerning trends:

Segment Performance Divergence:

  • Storage and Terminals Solutions showed robust growth (53% increase) with improved margins
  • Utility and Power Infrastructure grew 52% with better margins
  • Process and Industrial Facilities experienced a sharp 57% decline, with margins dropping from 9.4% to 1.2%

Strategic Challenges:

  • Book-to-bill ratio of 0.5x indicates significant slowdown in new orders
  • Management's 5% reduction in revenue guidance and $50 million revenue push to FY2026 suggests near-term headwinds
  • Construction overhead costs remain high relative to current revenue levels, pressuring margins

Financial Strength:

  • Zero debt and $211.7 million liquidity provide strategic flexibility
  • Positive operating cash flow of $33.6 million demonstrates strong working capital management
  • 90% repeat customer rate indicates strong market position

The company's pivot toward large, complex infrastructure projects positions it well for long-term growth, but near-term execution and margin challenges need to be addressed. The management's expectation of 40% year-over-year revenue growth in H2 FY2025 appears ambitious given current market conditions and booking trends.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We continued to execute on our diverse backlog of large, multi-year projects during the second quarter, culminating in sustained organic revenue growth in the period,” said John Hewitt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Matrix Service Company. “We delivered year-over-year revenue growth within both our Storage and Terminal Solutions and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments during the second quarter, as we continue to drive strong project execution across the organization,” continued Hewitt. “As backlog conversion to revenue continues to accelerate in the second half of our fiscal year, we expect to realize an improvement in fixed cost absorption, operating leverage and margin realization, consistent with our strategic focus on improved profitability.

“The pace of recent project awards and starts on booked work converting to revenue slowed during the first half of fiscal 2025. This slowness is due to a combination of temporary permitting and project start delays caused by third parties, which we believe have now concluded, together with pre-election policy uncertainty within our core energy markets,” continued Hewitt. “As a result, we’ve lowered our full-year revenue forecast by approximately 5% at the midpoint of our guided range, as approximately $50 million in projected revenue was pushed from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026. Looking ahead, we continue to expect a return to profitability during the second half of fiscal 2025. We anticipate more than 40% year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2025, when compared to the second half of fiscal 2024, and expect to deliver a book-to-bill ratio of at least 1.0x for the full year fiscal 2025.

“Our strategic focus on large, complex projects across the energy and industrial landscape position Matrix to capitalize on what we expect will be an historic period for domestic infrastructure investment over the next decade,” said Hewitt. “Our proven ability to service the full project lifecycle, from engineering and fabrication to construction and maintenance, provide customers with a turnkey solution that continues to drive high customer retention, with approximately 90% of historical revenue derived from repeat customers.

“Exiting the fiscal second quarter, we continue to maintain strong balance sheet discipline, with more than $211 million in available liquidity and no debt outstanding. We remain focused on expanding both our capabilities and serviceable markets through a combination of organic and complementary inorganic growth, as we build a growing platform of scale within high-value specialty E&C markets.”

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Fiscal 2025 second quarter revenue was $187.2 million, compared to $175.0 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024. The difference is attributable to increased revenue volumes in our Storage and Terminal Solutions and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments, partially offset by reduced revenue volumes in Process and Industrial Facilities.

Gross margin was $10.9 million, or 5.8%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $10.6 million, or 6.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. While project execution remained strong, gross margins were negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. Construction overhead resources have been structured to support the strong market demand and anticipated revenue growth in each of our segments, while supporting continued high quality project execution and efficient utilization of the cost structure.

SG&A expenses were $17.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in line with the company's normal run rate. The company continues to conservatively manage its cost structure as it executes its growth strategy.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company had a net loss of $5.5 million, or $(0.20) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.10) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter fiscal 2025 was $5.5 million, or $(0.20) per share compared to $4.9 million, or $(0.18) for the second quarter fiscal 2024.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Storage and Terminals Solutions segment revenue increased 53% to $95.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $62.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, due to increased volume of work for specialty vessel and LNG storage. Gross margin was 7.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 2.9% in the second quarter fiscal 2024. The improved gross margin relative to the prior year period reflects consistent project execution and improved construction overhead cost absorption as a result of higher revenues.

Utility and Power Infrastructure segment revenue increased 52% to $61.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $40.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, benefiting from a higher volume of work associated with LNG peak shaving projects, partially offset by decreases in power delivery work. Gross margin was 5.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 3.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 2.1% due to an improved mix of work. Gross margins in both periods were negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs.

Process and Industrial Facilities segment revenue decreased to $30.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $71.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower revenue volumes resulting from the completion of a large renewable diesel project, in addition to lower revenue volumes for thermal vacuum chambers. Gross margin was 1.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 9.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margins decreased due to changes in the mix of work, as well as an increase in under-recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower revenues.

BACKLOG

The Company’s backlog was $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. Project awards totaled $90.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.5x for the quarter, and a trailing twelve month book-to-bill ratio of 0.9x. The table below summarizes our awards, book-to-bill ratios and backlog by segment for our second quarter (amounts are in thousands, except for book-to-bill ratios):

FINANCIAL POSITION

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 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 limited notice to proceed, 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Loss

We have presented Adjusted net loss, which we define as Net loss before gain on sale of assets, and the tax impact of these adjustments, because we believe it better depicts our core operating results. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net loss. Since Adjusted net loss 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 loss as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net loss, 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 net loss 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. Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted net loss, has certain material limitations as follows:

  • It does not include gain on the sale of assets. While these sales occurred outside the normal course of business, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sales resulted in material inflows of cash.

A reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net loss follows:

(1)   In fiscal 2024, we sold our Burlington, ON office in the first quarter and recorded a gain of $2.5 million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma for $2.7 million in net proceeds, which resulted in a gain of $2.0 million.
(2)   Represents the tax impact of the adjustments to Net loss, calculated using the applicable effective tax rate of the adjustment. Due to the existence of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and net operating losses, there was no tax impact of any of the adjustments in any period presented.


Adjusted EBITDA

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net loss before gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, interest income, 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. Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

  • 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 interest income. Because we have money invested in money market depository accounts and we will have earned interest income on these investments, any measure that excludes interest income 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.

  • It does not include gain on asset sales. While these sales occurred outside the normal course of business and are not expected to be recurring, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sale resulted in a material inflow of cash.

  • It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense. 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 historically release vested shares out of our treasury stock, which has been replenished by using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.
