  • Expect projects to materialize over the next six months.

Headwinds

  • Revenue volume and financial performance have been impacted by delays in project starts on certain projects in backlog.
  • Delays in awards of larger project work.
  • Gross margin (loss) was (1.0%) in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to under recovered overheads as well as an increase in forecasted cost on two projects won in the very competitive environment during the height of the pandemic.
  • In the Storage and Terminals Solutions segment, a gross margin (loss) of (0.9%) for the quarter was primarily the result of under recovered overheads and the execution of smaller competitively priced capital projects.
