Briefing
Reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

- Second quarter revenue reached $193.8 million, a 20% increase year-over-year.
- Project awards for the quarter totaled $318.7 million, the highest since Q1 2020, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6.

Forward guidance
Matrix Service Company anticipates revenue volumes in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to remain relatively unchanged from the second quarter, with a meaningful increase expected in the fourth quarter as newly awarded projects contribute to revenue. The company expects quarterly book-to-bill ratios to be at or above 1.0 for each of the last two fiscal quarters of 2023.
Tailwinds
- Expected improved operating results in the fourth fiscal quarter.
- Receipt of approximately $13 million of tax refunds in the third fiscal quarter.
- Positive cash flow from newly-awarded capital projects.
- Quarterly book-to-bill ratios to be at or above 1.0 for each of the last two fiscal quarters of 2023.
- Meaningful increase expected in the fourth quarter as newly awarded projects contribute to revenue.
Headwinds
- Legacy project awarded in calendar 2021 resulted in an unexpected negative adjustment in the quarter due to a breakdown in commercial negotiations over excessive scope changes, global supply chain issues and inflation.
- A large LNG project that was expected to be awarded in the first half of fiscal 2023 has not been awarded and award timing is unknown.
- Normal seasonality resulted in lower volumes of work as we moved through the quarter.
- Gross margins during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were also negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower revenue and continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
- The company incurred a $12.3 million impairment of goodwill during the quarter.
