Matrix Service Reported Third Quarter Financial Results

On May 09, 2018, Matrix Service reported its financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company's consolidated revenues were $245.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $251.2 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Matrix Service's Electrical Infrastructure segment revenues declined due to a reduction in revenue associated with the construction of a large power generating facility compared to the prior year and a reduction in high voltage revenue. The Company's consolidated gross profit was $14.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company's gross margin was 6.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2018, versus (1.0)% in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year. The fiscal 2018 gross margin was negatively impacted by revenue associated with low margin work bid in a highly competitive environment, increased levels of lower margin maintenance work, and lower than expected capital project volumes, which led to under recovery of construction overhead costs.

Matrix Service's consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $20.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $18.6 million in the year earlier corresponding period; increasing primarily due to higher current year project pursuit costs. The Company's income tax expenses included charges totaling $1.1 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the fiscal year 2018, primarily related to a valuation allowance placed on a deferred tax asset.
