Energy Services of America Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 Results
HUNTINGTON, W.Va., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Services of America Corporation (the "Company" or "Energy Services") (Nasdaq: ESOA), today announced its results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Second Quarter Summary (1)
| · | Revenue of $71.1 million, a 33% increase |
| · | Gross profit of $6.2 million, a 60% increase |
| · | Net loss improved by $765,000 to $1.1 million, or ($0.07) per share |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA improved by $1 million to $923,000 |
| · | Backlog of $222.8 million compared to $224.6 million |
(1) All comparisons are versus the comparable prior year period, unless otherwise stated.
"Our second quarter results reflect the continued growth and improved operating performance across all of our business lines," said Doug Reynolds, President. "Although the second quarter is historically our most challenging due to weather, we added approximately $37 million to our backlog compared to the first quarter, and we believe our recent staffing initiatives will allow us to effectively manage these construction projects going forward.”
“We believe the outlook for the industries we serve remains strong for the foreseeable future. We have a robust backlog and have seen greater than anticipated demand which allows us to prioritize our project selection on those that offer more favorable margin profiles. Overall, we believe are well-positioned with strong macro tailwinds that will allow us to continue to deliver long-term value to our shareholders in the coming quarters and beyond,” Mr. Reynolds concluded."
Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
Total revenues for the period equaled $71.1 million, compared to $53.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased work within the Gas & Petroleum Transmission and Electrical, Mechanical and General business lines.
Gross profit was $6.2 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 8.8% of revenues, compared to 7.3% of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase is related to sales mix across the business.
Selling and administrative expenses were $7.3 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily related to additional personnel hired to secure and manage work for expected growth.
Net loss was $1.1 million, or ($0.07) per share, compared to net loss of $1.9 million or ($0.11) per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Backlog as of March 31, 2024 was $222.8 million, compared to $185.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and $224.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included herein. We include these measurements to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein, considered along with net income (loss), is a relevant indicator of trends relating to the cash generating activity of our operations. We believe that excluding the costs herein provides a consistent comparison of the cash generating activity of our operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as they facilitate a comparison of our operating performance to other companies who also use Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental operating measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
