MATRIX SERVICE ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

TULSA, OK – September 7, 2011 – Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $163.6 million compared to $140.7 million in the same period a year earlier. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.7 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share. The Company recognized a net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 of $4.2 million, or ($0.16) per fully diluted share. The fiscal 2010 fourth quarter results included non-routine charges totaling $3.5 million, or ($0.08) per fully diluted share and a loss on a series of projects at a customer site totaling $4.6 million, or ($0.11) per fully diluted share.

John R. Hewitt, President and CEO of Matrix Service Company, said “We are very pleased with the overall performance this year. Even with a struggling national economy our employees have done a great job winning and executing projects in our core businesses. Matrix Service is well positioned to take advantage of continued opportunities in the energy market.”

Consolidated gross profit was $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $3.8 million in the same period a year earlier. The prior year gross profit included a non-routine charge of $3.1 million and a loss on a series of projects at a customer site totaling $4.6 million. Gross margins were 12.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 2.7% in the same period a year earlier. The improvement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was due to better project execution, the favorable effect of improved recovery of construction overhead costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the effect of the charges mentioned above on the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 results. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.4 million, or 6.9% of revenue, in fiscal 2011 compared to $10.5 million, or 7.4% of revenue, in the same period a year earlier. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation costs due to improved operating results compared to the same period a year earlier.

Fiscal 2011 Results

Fiscal year 2011 revenues were $627.1 million compared to $550.8 million in fiscal 2010. Net income for fiscal 2011 was $19.0 million, or $0.71 per fully diluted share. Net income for fiscal 2010 was $4.9 million, or $0.18 per fully diluted share. The fiscal 2010 results included non-routine charges totaling $10.0 million, or ($0.23) per fully diluted share and a loss on a series of projects at a customer site totaling $5.4 million, or ($0.13) per fully diluted share.

Consolidated gross profit was $74.9 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $52.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The prior year gross profit included a non-routine charge of $5.1 million and a loss on a series of projects at a customer site totaling $5.4 million. Gross margins were 11.9% in fiscal 2011 compared to 9.6% in fiscal 2010. The improvement in fiscal 2011 was due to the favorable effect of improved recovery of construction overhead costs in fiscal 2011 as well as the effect of the charges mentioned above on fiscal 2010 results. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $44.0 million, or 7.0% of revenues, in fiscal 2011 compared to $45.2 million, or 8.2% of revenue, in the same period a year earlier. Fiscal 2010 selling, general and administrative expenses included non-routine charges


totaling $4.8 million. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to the effect of the charges mentioned above on fiscal 2010 results largely offset by higher legal and facility costs in fiscal 2011 as well as higher incentive compensation expense due to improved operating results.

Backlog

Consolidated backlog at June 30, 2011 totaled $405.1 million, an increase of $21.2 million, or 5.5%, compared to the backlog at March 31, 2011, and an increase of $51.9 million, or 14.7%, compared to the backlog at June 30, 2010.

Financial Position

At June 30, 2011, Matrix Service’s cash balance was $59.4 million. The Company did not borrow under its revolving credit facility during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

Earnings Guidance

The Company expects that fiscal 2012 revenues will be between $650 million and $725 million and earnings to be between $0.75 and $0.95 per fully diluted share.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenues that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:

 

   

fixed-price arrangements;

 

   

minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

 

   

certain time and material contracts in which the estimated contract value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.

For long-term maintenance contracts we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenues recognized as of the reporting date.
