MATRIX SERVICE COMPANY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2021 RESULTS

TULSA, OK – February 8, 2021 – Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX), a leading contractor to the energy and industrial markets across North America, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Key highlights:

•Generated cash flow from operations of $20.8 million in the quarter and fully repaid outstanding debt, ended the quarter with cash of $93.5 million

•Second quarter revenue was $167.5 million, reflecting the continued impact of the pandemic and related market disruptions

•Second quarter loss per fully diluted share of $0.17, adjusted loss per fully diluted share of $0.03(1)

•Achieved annualized cost savings of $60 million, or 25%, across construction overhead and SG&A

•Project awards of $111.8 million in the quarter resulting in backlog of $622.8 million; expectations for increasing project awards in second half of fiscal year

•Entered into Memorandum of Understanding with Chart Industries to develop and market turnkey hydrogen solutions as part of our longer-term diversification strategy of providing services to the growing clean energy market

“As expected, second quarter results were affected by the continued impact of COVID-19 on our end markets, including client business uncertainty, additional safety protocols implemented to protect employee health, energy demand destruction, and a global economic slowdown. These impacts resulted in reduced revenue and is continuing to disrupt the timing of awards from what is otherwise a strong opportunity pipeline,” said Matrix Service Company president and CEO John R. Hewitt.

“We expect improvement as we move through the second half of the fiscal year. Additionally, bidding opportunities, especially in key strategic areas including small to mid-size LNG facilities, electrical infrastructure, thermal vacuum chambers, rare earth metals and minerals, and hydrogen are robust and speak to the diversification of our business as well as the strategic shift we have taken as the transition to cleaner energy accelerates. Our strong financial position, combined with a leaner organization, position us to create value for our shareholders as we serve the evolving infrastructure needs of our customers in both the near- and long-term.”

Update on Company Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's top priority has been to maintain a safe working environment for all office and field employees, customers and business partners. As the world continues to recover from this pandemic, our project teams, in coordination with our clients, continue to operate under enhanced work processes to integrate guidance from governmental agencies and leading health organizations to protect the health and safety of everyone on our job sites while maintaining productivity.

Over the last year, the Company has reduced its cost structure in excess of $60 million, or approximately 25%, with a third of those reductions related to SG&A and the rest related to construction overhead, which is included in cost of revenue on the income statement. Even with these dramatic reductions in construction overhead, the current revenue levels will not allow for complete recovery which reduces the gross margin. However, based on our opportunity pipeline and the strength we see returning to the business, the current adjusted overhead levels are appropriate. While the Company will continue to manage our cost structure, we are now focused on rebuilding our backlog and revenue volume.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

Consolidated

Consolidated revenue was $167.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $318.7 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. On a segment basis, revenue decreased for the Process and Industrial Facilities and Storage and Terminal Solutions segments by $91.6 million, and $62.5 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment of $2.9 million.

Consolidated gross profit decreased to $15.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $30.0 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross margin decreased to 9.1% in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 9.4% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Despite generally strong project execution, gross margins in fiscal 2021 were lower than fiscal 2020 due to lower than forecasted volumes, which led to higher under recovery of construction overhead costs.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $16.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $23.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease is primarily attributable to cost reductions implemented throughout the past year and lower incentive compensation.

In connection with these cost reductions, the Company recorded $5.0 million of restructuring costs in the three months ended December 31, 2020.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $28.0 million, or $1.04 per fully diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2019. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the adjusted net loss was $0.8 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $5.2 million, or $0.19 per fully diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2019 (1).

Utility and Power Infrastructure

Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $52.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $49.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase is due to a higher volume of LNG utility peak shaving work, partially offset by lower volumes of power work. The segment gross margin was 10.8% in fiscal 2021 compared to (2.5)% in fiscal 2020. The fiscal 2021 segment gross margin was positively impacted by strong project execution, partially offset by under recovery of construction overhead costs.

In the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, performance in the power delivery portion continues to be strong on reduced revenue, however bidding activity is strong, and we expect project awards to improve as we move through the fiscal year. Similarly, our LNG peak shaving projects are performing well and the opportunity pipeline for future projects is strong, however those awards, while significant, can be less frequent. We are optimistic that the priorities of the new presidential administration will lead to increased opportunities in this segment.

Process and Industrial Facilities

Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $51.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $142.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease is primarily due to our strategic exit from the domestic iron and steel industry in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, completion of a major capital project, lower volumes of midstream gas projects, and reduced refinery turnaround and maintenance work. The segment gross margin was 15.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 9.7% in the same period last year. Segment gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was positively impacted by strong project execution. Under recovery of construction overhead costs in fiscal 2021 was offset by the positive impact of a one-time workers compensation item.

In the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, overall the short-term impact of the global pandemic on the Company's refinery turnaround and maintenance operations has moderated while maintenance volumes in locations where we have a permanent presence has returned to normal. However, some refiners continue to delay or reduce discretionary maintenance and capital spending. We expect some improvement in the Spring turnaround cycle.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, our focus to expand services in the midstream gas market was rewarded with a key contract for a natural gas pipeline compressor station upgrade. In addition, we continue to see strong demand for thermal vacuum chambers, as well as increasing opportunities in mining and minerals and chemicals.

2

Storage and Terminal Solutions

Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $64.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $126.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease in segment revenue is primarily a result of lower volumes of crude oil tank and terminal capital work and repair and maintenance work. In the current quarter the gross margin was 2.9% compared to 14.2% in the same quarter a year earlier. Despite the majority of the segment executing at a high level, two items negatively impacted the current quarterly gross margin. First, the low revenue volume resulted in the under recovery of construction overhead costs, and secondly the Company incurred an increase in expected costs to complete the construction of a large crude terminal. The Company has achieved mechanical completion, is demobilizing from the site, and working through final closeout and change orders with the client.

In the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, we have seen deferrals in award dates and lengthening award cycles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruption of global energy demand. Opportunities in crude oil tanks and terminals are limited, however, this segment also includes a strong funnel of opportunities in North America, Central America and the Caribbean for storage infrastructure projects related to natural gas, LNG, ammonia, renewable energy, and NGLs that support clean energy initiatives and chemical feed stocks.

Six Month Fiscal 2021 Results

Consolidated revenue was $350.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $656.8 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. On a segment basis, revenue decreased for the Process and Industrial Facilities and Storage and Terminal Solutions segments by $200.6 million, and $121.8 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment of $15.8 million.

Consolidated gross profit decreased to $29.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $62.5 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross margin decreased to 8.5% in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 9.5% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Despite generally strong project execution, gross margins in the first half of fiscal 2021 were lower than fiscal 2020 due to lower than forecasted volumes, which led to higher under recovery of construction overhead costs.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $34.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $46.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease is primarily attributable to cost reductions implemented throughout the past year and lower incentive compensation.

In connection with these cost reductions, the Company recorded $4.7 million of restructuring costs in the six months ended December 31, 2020.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.29 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.9 million, or $0.81 per fully diluted share, in the six months ended December 31, 2019. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the adjusted net loss was $4.1 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $11.4 million, or $0.41 per fully diluted share, in the six months ended December 31, 2019 (1).

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were 20.9% and 11.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2021 was negatively impacted by deferred tax asset adjustments of $0.2 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company estimates that its fiscal 2021 effective tax rate will be approximately 27% for the remainder of the year.

Backlog

Backlog at December 31, 2020 was $622.8 million. The quarterly and year-to-date book-to-bill ratios were 0.7 and 0.6 on project awards of $111.8 million and $214.5 million, respectively.

Financial Position

During the quarter the Company generated $20.8 million of cash flow from operations and paid off outstanding debt of $9.4 million. At December 31, 2020 the Company had total liquidity of $126.9 million, which includes $33.4 million of availability under the credit facility and a cash balance of $93.5 million. The Company had no debt at December 31, 2020.

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 is high. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

The following table provides a summary of changes in our backlog for the three months ended December 31, 2020:

(1)This table presents non-GAAP financial measures of our adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are net loss and diluted loss per common share, respectively, presented in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they more clearly depict the core operating results of the Company during the periods presented and provide a more comparable measure of the Company's operating results to other companies considered to be in similar businesses. Since adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
