Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company (Matrix Service, we, our, us, its or the Company) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described herein that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The Companys business is cyclical due to the scope and timing of projects released by its customer base. In addition, Matrix Service generates a significant portion of its revenues under a comparatively few major contracts, which often do not commence or terminate in the same period from one year to the next. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.
Note 2 Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders equity. Instead, the Company will be required to report comprehensive income in either a single contiguous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; therefore, the Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-05 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
Accounting Standards Update 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan (ASU 2011-09). ASU 2011-09 requires employers to make additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Additional disclosures include, but are not limited to:
| The plans in which an employer participates; |
| the level of participation, including the employers contributions to significant plans; |
| the financial health of significant plans; and |
| the nature of the employers commitment to the plans. |
ASU 2011-09 does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance that requires an employer to recognize its required contribution as a pension or other postretirement benefit cost for the period and to recognize a liability for any contributions due at the reporting date. ASU 2011-09 does not change the requirement that an employer apply the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions for contingencies under ASC 450. Under ASC 450, if we determine that an obligation due to withdrawal
-7-
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
from a multiemployer plan is probable, the recognition of a liability and disclosure of the contingency is required. If we determine that an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is reasonably possible, only the disclosure of the contingency is required.
ASU 2011-09 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently gathering the necessary information and will include the required disclosures in its annual report for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-09 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations, as it is only requiring additional disclosures regarding the Companys participation in multiemployer plans.
Note 3 Uncompleted Contracts
Contract terms of the Companys construction contracts generally provide for progress billings based on project milestones. The excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings over amounts billed on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current asset. The excess of amounts billed over costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current liability. Gross and net amounts on uncompleted contracts are as follows:

Contract retentions collectible beyond one year totaled $2.7 million at September 30, 2011 and $0.9 million at June 30, 2011.

Amortization expense totaled approximately $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Amortization expense is expected to be $0.4 million annually in fiscal years 2012 to 2016.
Note 5 Debt
At September 30, 2011, the Company had a five-year, $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) with a November 30, 2012 expiration date.

The Credit Facility was guaranteed by substantially all of the Companys subsidiaries and was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Companys assets. The credit agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants that placed certain restrictions on the Company, including limits on new debt, operating and capital lease obligations, asset sales and certain distributions, including dividends. At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the credit agreement.
On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the New Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank, and the other Lenders party thereto, which replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2006, as previously amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, which replaces the $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.

As with the Prior Credit Agreement, the New Credit Agreement includes significant covenants and borrowing limitations. Covenants and limitations in the Prior Credit Agreement that did not change and are included in the New Credit Agreement, include but are not limited to, the following:
| We are required to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00. |
| As with the Prior Credit Agreement, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. However, the numerator will now consist of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and Distributions. |
The New Credit Agreement differs in certain respects from the Prior Credit Agreement including, but not limited to, the following:
| The previous financial covenant requiring us to maintain an Asset Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to 1.45 to 1.00 has been eliminated. |
| The previous financial covenant requiring us to maintain a Tangible Net Worth of no less than the sum of $110.0 million, plus the net proceeds of any issuance of equity that occurs after November 30, 2008, plus 50% of all positive quarterly net income after November 30, 2008 was eliminated. |
| The limitations on capital lease and operating lease obligations have been eliminated. |
| The limit on asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) has been increased from $7.5 million per 12-month period to $15.0 million per 12-month period. |
| Amounts borrowed under the new credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The New Credit Agreement includes additional margin ranges on Alternate Base Rate loans between 0.75% and 1.5% and 1.75% and 2.5% on LIBOR-based loans. The additional margins in the Prior Credit Agreement were between 1.00% and 1.75% on Alternate Base Rate loans and between 2.00% and 2.75% on LIBOR-based loans. |
| The New Credit Agreement also permits us to borrow in Canadian dollars with a sublimit of U.S. $15 million. Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars will bear interest either at the CDOR Rate, plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%, or at the Canadian Prime Rate, plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 2.25% to 3.0%. The CDOR Rate is equal to the sum of the annual rate of interest which is the rate determined as being the arithmetic average of the quotations of all institutions listed in respect of the relevant CDOR interest period for Canadian Dollar denominated bankers acceptances, plus 0.1%. The Canadian Prime Rate is equal to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum most recently announced or established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch as its reference rate in effect on such day for determining interest rates for Canadian Dollar denominated commercial loans in Canada and commonly known as the prime rate and (ii) the CDOR Rate plus 1.0%. |
| The Unused Credit Facility Fee, which continues to be based on the Senior Leverage Ratio, was reduced from a range of 0.35% to 0.50% under the Prior Credit Agreement to a range of 0.30% to 0.45% under the New Credit Agreement. |
Note 6 Income Taxes
The Company complies with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets to the extent management believes that it is not probable that the assets will be recovered.

Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance Reserves
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, exposure to potential losses is retained through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions.
Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix Service maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Companys customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors work or as required by the subcontract.
There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.
Unapproved Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unapproved change orders of $5.1 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. There were no revenues related to claims included in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at September 30, 2011 or June 30, 2011. Generally, collection of amounts related to unapproved change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, and accordingly, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.
Acquired Claims Receivable
The Company continues to pursue collection of certain claim receivables acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. In September 2011, we received $1.5 million as settlement for a portion of these claims. The settlement amount approximated the book value of the receivable; therefore, no gain or loss was recognized. The recorded value at September 30, 2011 of $0.7 million represents the Companys best estimate of the remaining amount to be collected. Recovering the remaining receivable, including any amounts due not specifically related to the claim, will require mediation or litigation and the ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amount resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.
Other
The Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other legal actions. It is the opinion of management that none of the known legal actions will have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting estimates as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.
Unapproved Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unapproved change orders of $5.1 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. There were no revenues related to claims included in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at September 30, 2011 or June 30, 2011. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.
Acquired Claims Receivable
The Company continues to pursue collection of certain claim receivables acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. In September 2011, we received $1.5 million as settlement for a portion of these claims. The settlement amount approximated the book value of the receivable; therefore, no gain or loss was recognized. The recorded value at September 30, 2011 of $0.7 million represents the Companys best estimate of the remaining amount to be collected. Recovering the remaining receivable, including any amounts due not specifically related to the claim, will require mediation or litigation and the ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amount resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.
Insurance Reserves
We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company recorded insurance reserves totaling $8.0 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. These amounts represent our best estimate of our ultimate obligations for asserted claims, insurance premium obligations and claims incurred but not yet reported. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and case-by-case evaluations of the underlying claim data and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions, including the assumed losses for claims incurred but not reported, are inherent in our reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates in the future. If actual results of claim settlements are different than the amounts estimated, we may be exposed to gains and losses that could be significant.
Goodwill
The Company has three significant reporting units with goodwill representing 55%, 15% and 14% of the total goodwill balance. Our most recent annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by 26%, 94% and 82%, respectively. Based on the excess of estimated fair value over carrying value and the absence of any indicators of impairment at September 30, 2011, the Company does not currently anticipate recording a goodwill impairment charge for any of its operating units.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders equity. Instead, the Company will be required to report comprehensive income in either a single contiguous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; therefore, the Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-05 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
Accounting Standards Update 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan (ASU 2011-09). ASU 2011-09 requires employers to make additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Additional disclosures include, but are not limited to:
| The plans in which an employer participates; |
| the level of participation, including the employers contributions to significant plans; |
| the financial health of significant plans; and |
| the nature of the employers commitment to the plans. |
ASU 2011-09 does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance that requires an employer to recognize its required contribution as a pension or other postretirement benefit cost for the period and to recognize a liability for any contributions due at the reporting date. ASU 2011-09 does not change the requirement that an employer apply the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions for contingencies under ASC 450. Under ASC 450, if we determine that an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is probable, the recognition of a liability and disclosure of the contingency is required. If we determine that an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is reasonably possible, only the disclosure of the contingency is required.
ASU 2011-09 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently gathering the necessary information and will include the required disclosures in its annual report for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-09 will impact the Companys financial position or results of operations, as it is only requiring additional disclosures regarding the Companys participation in multiemployer plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company has two reportable segments, Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services. The majority of the work for both segments is performed in the United States with 7.8% of revenues generated in Canada during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
The primary services of our Construction Services segment are aboveground storage tanks for the bulk storage/terminal industry, capital construction for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty construction, and electrical and instrumentation services for various industries. These services, including civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation, millwrighting, and fabrication, are provided for projects of varying complexities, schedule durations, and budgets. Our project experience includes renovations, retrofits, modifications and expansions to existing facilities as well as construction of new facilities.

The primary services of our Repair and Maintenance Services segment are aboveground storage tank repair and maintenance services, planned major and routine maintenance for the downstream petroleum industry and electrical and instrumentation repair and maintenance for various industries.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
Consolidated
Consolidated revenues were $169.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $17.5 million, or 11.5%, from consolidated revenues of $151.8 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of an increase of $15.4 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues and an increase of $2.1 million in Construction Services revenues.
Consolidated gross profit increased from $15.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $18.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase of $2.4 million was primarily due to higher revenues and slightly higher gross margins, which increased to 10.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 10.3% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Consolidated SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $11.5 million compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The net increase of $0.9 million was primarily due to non-routine stock compensation and relocation expenses and increased costs due to strategic realignment activities. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 7.0% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Net interest expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.2 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Other expense in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.7 million and related primarily to foreign currency transaction losses.
The effective tax rate was 38.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Construction Services
Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $99.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $97.5 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $2.1 million was due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues which increased to $58.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $40.8 million in the same period a year earlier, and higher Specialty revenues, which increased to $6.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $5.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. These increases were largely offset by lower Electrical and Instrumentation and Downstream Petroleum revenues, which were $15.0 million and $19.6 million, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $29.9 million and $20.9 million, respectively, in the same period a year earlier. The decrease in Electrical and Instrumentation revenues is primarily due to the completion of projects that contributed significantly to revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Gross profit decreased from $11.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $10.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease of $0.4 million was primarily due to lower gross margins which decreased to 10.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 11.6% a year earlier. The lower gross margins were primarily due to lower overhead cost recovery in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, partially offset by higher direct margins.
Repair and Maintenance Services
Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $69.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $54.3 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $15.4 million was due to higher Downstream Petroleum revenues which increased to $31.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $22.4 million in the same period a year earlier, higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which increased to $24.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $21.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which were $13.2 million in fiscal 2012 versus $10.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase in Downstream Petroleum revenues is primarily due to a higher volume of turnaround activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
-18-
Gross profit increased from $4.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The $2.8 million increase was due to higher revenues combined with higher gross margins which increased to 10.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 8.0% in the same period a year earlier. The improvement in gross margins in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was due to the combination of higher direct margins and the favorable effect of improved recovery of overhead costs caused by a higher business volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
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 the revenue recognized as of the reporting date.
The following table provides a summary of changes in our backlog for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

At September 30, 2011 the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $251.1 million, as compared to a backlog of $225.7 million as of June 30, 2011. The increase of $25.4 million is due to increases in Electrical and Instrumentation of $24.8 million, Specialty of $4.2 million and Downstream Petroleum of $2.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in Aboveground Storage Tank of $5.9 million. The backlog at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $175.5 million and $179.4 million, respectively. The decrease of $3.9 million is due to the decrease in Electrical and Instrumentation of $5.6 million and Downstream Petroleum of $0.1 million, partially offset by an increase in Aboveground Storage Tank of $1.8 million. Downstream Petroleum backlog was unchanged.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA 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 Income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since 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. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, 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, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:
| It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, pay commitment fees to maintain our credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the 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 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. |

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary source of liquidity for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was cash on hand at the beginning of the year. Cash on hand at September 30, 2011 totaled $38.7 million and availability under the senior revolving credit facility totaled $67.4 million resulting in total liquidity of $106.1 million.
Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and that may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:
| Changes in working capital |
| Contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings |
| Some cost plus and fixed price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers. |
| Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to carry these costs until they can be billed and collected. |
| Some of our large construction projects may require significant retentions or security in the form of letters of credit. |
| Capital expenditures |
Other factors that may impact both short and long-term liquidity include:
| Acquisitions of new businesses |
| Strategic investments in new operations |
| Purchases of shares under our stock buyback program |
| Contract disputes or collection issues |
| Maintaining full capacity under our senior revolving credit facility and remaining in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement |
In the future we may elect to raise additional capital by issuing common or preferred stock, convertible notes, term debt or increase the amount of our revolving credit facility as necessary to fund our operations or to fund the acquisition of other businesses. We will continue to evaluate our working capital requirements and other factors to maintain sufficient liquidity.
Cash Flow in the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011
Cash Flows Used for Operating Activities
Increased business activity in the three months ended September 30, 2011 led to higher working capital balances, which caused operations to use $12.1 million of cash. The cash effect of significant changes in working capital include the following:
| The net change in the combined balances of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings caused an increase in operating assets and liabilities and a decrease to cash of $20.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This change was primarily attributable to the Company being required to fund more work and having fewer contracts that allow for advance billing in our Aboveground Storage Tank and Electrical and Instrumentation markets in the Construction Services segment. |
| Accrued expenses decreased by $5.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of fiscal year 2011 employee incentives. |
-21-
| Accounts payable increased by $7.5 million. The increase was primarily due to increase in business activity in September 2011. |
| Income taxes receivable/payable increased by $3.1 million due to timing of income tax payments. |
Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities
Investing activities used $2.8 million of cash in the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to capital expenditures of $3.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from asset dispositions of $0.2 million. Capital expenditures included $1.7 million for the purchase of construction equipment, $1.1 million for transportation equipment and $0.2 million for office equipment and software.
Cash Flows Used for Financing Activities
Financing activities used $5.0 million of cash in the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the purchase of 517,088 shares of common stock under the Companys stock buyback program.
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2011, the Company had a five-year, $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) with a November 30, 2012 expiration date. The Credit Facility was guaranteed by substantially all of the Companys subsidiaries and was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Companys assets. The credit agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants that placed certain restrictions on the Company, including limits on new debt, operating and capital lease obligations, asset sales and certain distributions, including dividends. At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the credit agreement.
On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the New Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank, and the other Lenders party thereto, which replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2006, as previously amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, which replaces the $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.
As with the Prior Credit Agreement, the New Credit Agreement includes significant covenants and borrowing limitations. Covenants and limitations in the Prior Credit Agreement that did not change and are included in the New Credit Agreement, include but are not limited to, the following:
| We are required to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00. |
| As with the Prior Credit Agreement, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. However, the numerator will now consist of Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures and Distributions. |
The New Credit Agreement differs in certain respects from the Prior Credit Agreement including, but not limited to, the following:
| The previous financial covenant requiring us to maintain an Asset Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to 1.45 to 1.00 has been eliminated. |
| The previous financial covenant requiring us to maintain a Tangible Net Worth of no less than the sum of $110.0 million, plus the net proceeds of any issuance of equity that occurs after November 30, 2008, plus 50% of all positive quarterly net income after November 30, 2008 was eliminated. |
| The limitations on capital lease and operating lease obligations have been eliminated. |
-22-
| The limit on asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) has been increased from $7.5 million per 12-month period to $15.0 million per 12-month period. |
| Amounts borrowed under the new credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The New Credit Agreement includes additional margin ranges on Alternate Base Rate loans between 0.75% and 1.5% and 1.75% and 2.5% on LIBOR-based loans. The additional margins in the Prior Credit Agreement were between 1.00% and 1.75% on Alternate Base Rate loans and between 2.00% and 2.75% on LIBOR-based loans. |
| The New Credit Agreement also permits us to borrow in Canadian dollars with a sublimit of U.S. $15 million. Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars will bear interest either at the CDOR Rate, plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%, or at the Canadian Prime Rate, plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 2.25% to 3.0%. The CDOR Rate is equal to the sum of the annual rate of interest which is the rate determined as being the arithmetic average of the quotations of all institutions listed in respect of the relevant CDOR interest period for Canadian Dollar denominated bankers acceptances, plus 0.1%. The Canadian Prime Rate is equal to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum most recently announced or established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch as its reference rate in effect on such day for determining interest rates for Canadian Dollar denominated commercial loans in Canada and commonly known as the prime rate and (ii) the CDOR Rate plus 1.0%. |
| The Unused Credit Facility Fee, which continues to be based on the Senior Leverage Ratio, was reduced from a range of 0.35% to 0.50% under the Prior Credit Agreement to a range of 0.30% to 0.45% under the New Credit Agreement. |
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of both our Prior Credit Agreement and our New Credit Agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. While we currently do not intend to pay cash dividends, any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Stock Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares
Treasury Shares
On February 4, 2009 our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program that allows the Company to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year commencing in calendar year 2009 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The Company purchased 517,088 shares under our stock buyback program at an average price of $9.42 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. These shares were returned to treasury. The Company purchased an additional 166,507 shares at an average price of $8.73 in early October 2011. We may purchase up to an additional 2,316,405 shares through the end of calendar year 2012 if sufficient liquidity exists and we believe that it is in the best interest of the stockholders.
In addition to the stock buyback program, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting of an employees deferred shares. Matrix Service withheld 10,835 shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Companys pool of treasury shares.
The Company has 1,898,263 treasury shares as of September 30, 2011 and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Companys stock incentive plans.

Outlook
Apart from the limited construction opportunities in portions of our Downstream Petroleum market, the overall outlook for our core markets is positive. Demand for our Aboveground Storage Tank construction services remains high and we are expecting strong performance for the remainder of fiscal 2012. Although the first quarter of fiscal 2012 Electrical and Instrumentation revenues were down, we continue to believe that our Electrical and Instrumentation business in the Northeastern U.S. is a strong growth area for the Company. Our refinery maintenance and turnaround performance was good in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and we expect the business environment to be favorable in the next few quarters. Finally, our newly added engineering capabilities in the bulk materials handling sector should produce additional engineering and construction opportunities in the power generation and raw materials transportation markets as well as entry into the mining and minerals industries both domestically and internationally in the coming year.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words believes, intends, expects, anticipates, projects, estimates, predicts and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:
| amounts and nature of future revenues and margins from our Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services segments; |
| the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services; |
| expansion and other development trends of the industries we serve; |
| our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to raise cash in order to meet our short and long-term capital requirements; and |
| our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement. |
These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including:
| the risk factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; |
| the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation; |
| the adequacy of our reserves for contingencies; |
| economic, market or business conditions in general and in the oil, gas and power industries in particular; |
| changes in laws or regulations; and |
| other factors, many of which are beyond our control. |
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to
-24-
or effects on us or our business operations. We assume no obligation to update publicly, except as required by law, any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
There have been no material changes in market risk faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on market risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e).
The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. The design of our internal control system takes into account the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be weighed against the costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the acts of key individuals, collusion or management override.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at September 30, 2011.
