Matrix Service Company
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”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. 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 of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 2013
, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.
The Company’s business is cyclical due to the scope and timing of projects released by our customers. Therefore, results from year to year can vary. Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall when the demand is lower. We typically see a lower level of operating activity relating to construction projects during the winter months and early in the calendar year because many of our customers’ capital budgets have not been finalized. Our business can also be affected both positively and negatively by seasonal factors such as energy demand or weather conditions, including hurricanes, snowstorms, and abnormally low or high temperatures. As a result, quarterly operating results can exhibit seasonal fluctuations, especially in our Oil Gas & Chemical segment. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.
Note 2 – Acquisitions

The equity in consolidated joint venture represents the acquired equity in KVPB Power Partners ("the Joint Venture").
The Joint Venture was formed by Kvaerner North American Construction, Inc. and an engineering firm to engineer and construct a combined cycle power plant in Dover, Delaware.
The Company now holds a
65%
voting and economic interest in the Joint Venture. The total acquired equity of the Joint Venture was
$2.0 million
of which the Company's portion is approximately
$1.3 million
and the other party owns a non-controlling interest of
$0.7 million
.
Total assets of the Joint Venture total
$27.7 million
which includes cash of
$17.6 million
and accounts receivable of
$10.1 million
. Total liabilities were
$25.8 million
, of which billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings total
$20.9 million
and accounts payable total
$4.9 million
. The assets of the Joint Venture are restricted and can only be used for Joint Venture operations. Total revenues and earnings of the Joint Venture were not material in the periods presented. The two permitted accounting presentations of the Joint Venture are consolidation with a noncontrolling interest reported or proportionate consolidation. The Company has tentatively concluded that the Joint Venture should be consolidated with a noncontrolling interest presented; however, the final accounting determination will be made in the third fiscal quarter.
Matrix NAC revenues totaling
$5.4 million
and operating income of approximately
$0.0 million
are included in the Company's results for the post acquisition period of December 21, 2013 to December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has incurred approximately
$2.0 million
of expenses related to the acquisition, all of which are included in our selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.
The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Matrix Service Company and Matrix NAC for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of July 1, 2012. The pro forma earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were adjusted to include incremental intangible amortization expense of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively and depreciation expenses of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, $0.6 million of income from a one-time KNAC tax settlement and $2.0 million of acquisition-related expenses were removed from the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2013. The $2.0 million of acquisition-related expenses were included in the six month period ending December 31, 2012 as if the acquisition occurred at July 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at July 1, 2012 nor should it be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations.

SME Receivables
The Company continues to pursue collection of a certain receivable acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. The recorded values at
December 31, 2013
include
$0.7 million
in claim receivables, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount to be collected under a claim, and an additional
$2.9 million
for amounts due under the related contract. Recovering the remaining receivables will require mediation or litigation and the ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts, which could result in a material adjustment to future earnings.
Other
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, our results of operations were materially impacted by a charge resulting from a change in estimate on an aboveground storage tank project. The charge resulted in a
$4.4 million
and
$4.0 million
decrease in operating income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. In the same period of the prior year, we recognized a project charge due to a change in estimate that resulted in a
$3.3 million
and
$3.0 million
decrease in operating income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 5 – Debt
The Company has a five-year,
$125.0 million
senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that expires
November 7, 2016
. Advances under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.
The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
•
Our Senior Leverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, may not exceed
2.50
to
1.00
as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
•
We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, greater than or equal to
1.25
to
1.00
as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
•
Asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) are limited to
$15.0 million
per 12-month period.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The additional margin on Alternate Base Rate and LIBOR-based loans ranges between
0.75%
and
1.5%
and between
1.75%
and
2.5%
, respectively.
The Credit Agreement also permits us to borrow in Canadian dollars with a sublimit of U.S.
$15.0 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 (ii) the CDOR Rate plus 1.0%.
The Unused Credit Facility Fee is between

Outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2013 included advances used to assist in the funding of a recent business acquisition and Canadian dollar advances to fund our existing Canadian operations including amounts to settle intercompany cross currency billings. The acquisition is discussed further in Note 2 - Acquisitions.
The Company is in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the 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 the assets will be recovered.
The Company provides for income taxes regardless of whether it has received a tax assessment. Taxes are provided when it is considered probable that additional taxes will be due in excess of amounts included in the tax return. The Company regularly reviews exposure to additional income taxes due, and as further information is known or events occur, adjustments may be recorded.
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, self-insured retentions and coverage limits.
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 special 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 maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Company’s 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.

, respectively. Unallocated assets includes
$36.3 million
of Goodwill related to the acquisition. As previously noted, we are currently
assessing the impact of the acquisition on our reporting units and expect to have the Goodwill analysis complete in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal
2013
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
2013
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 and claims of
$12.0 million
at
December 31, 2013
and
$9.1 million
at
June 30, 2013
. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.
SME Receivables
The Company continues to pursue collection of certain receivables acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. The recorded values at
December 31, 2013
include
$0.7 million
in claim receivables, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount to be collected under a claim, and an additional
$2.9 million
for amounts due under the related contract. Recovering the remaining receivables will require mediation or litigation and the ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts, which could result in an 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, self-insured retentions and coverage limits. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and management judgment on a case-by-case basis 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 five significant reporting units with goodwill representing 39%, 19%, 13%, 10% and 10% of the total goodwill balance. Our most recent annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
, indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by 64%, 224%, 144%, 149% and 123%. The remaining 9% of total goodwill is spread between two other reporting units. Based on the excess of estimated fair value over carrying value and the absence of any indicators of impairment at
December 31, 2013
, the Company does not currently anticipate recording a goodwill impairment charge for any of its operating units. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the acquisition on its reporting units and expects to have the analysis complete in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from 1 to 15 years. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life and review both amortizing and non-amortizing intangible assets for impairment indicators. Based on these reviews, the Company has determined that the indefinite lives assigned to its indefinite lived intangible assets are appropriate and no impairment indicators exist at

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" (ASU 2013-04). ASU 2013-04 addresses the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations when multiple parties incur joint liabilities where the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the financial reporting date. This standard requires the recognition of the total amount of the liability that the parties are obligated to pay under an arrangement, along

with any additional amount the company might expect to pay on behalf of other parties to the liability. ASU 2013-04 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We currently do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We operate our business through the following four segments:
•
The Electrical Infrastructure segment primarily encompasses high voltage services to investor owned utilities, including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, short-run transmission line installations, distribution upgrades and maintenance, and storm restoration services. We also provide construction and maintenance services to a variety of power generation facilities, such as combined cycle plants, coal fired power stations, and renewable energy installations.
•
The Oil Gas & Chemical segment includes our traditional turnaround activities, plant maintenance services and construction in the downstream petroleum industry. Another key offering is industrial cleaning services, which includes hydroblasting, hydroexcavating, chemical cleaning and vacuum services. We also perform work in the industrial and natural gas, gas processing and compression, and upstream petroleum markets.
•
The Storage Solutions segment includes new construction of crude and refined products aboveground storage tanks, as well as planned and emergency maintenance services. Also included in the Storage Solutions segment is work related to specialty storage tanks including liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen (“LIN/LOX”), liquid petroleum (“LPG”) tanks and other specialty vessels including spheres. Finally, the Storage Solutions segment includes balance of plant work in storage terminals and tank farms.
•
The Industrial segment includes work in the iron and steel and mining and minerals industries, bulk material handling, fertilizer production facilities, as well as work for clients in other industrial markets.

December 31, 2012
Consolidated
Consolidated revenues were $311.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $89.6 million, or 40.5%, from consolidated revenues of $221.4 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of increases in Storage Solutions and Industrial revenues, which increased $82.9 million and $24.1 million respectively, partially offset by decreases in Electrical Infrastructure and Oil Gas & Chemical revenues of $12.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Consolidated gross profit increased from $22.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012 to $34.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $11.9 million was due to both higher revenues and higher gross margins which increased to 11.0% in fiscal 2014 compared to 10.1% a year earlier.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $19.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $13.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $5.7 million, or 41.9%, was primarily related to direct costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of Kvaerner North American Construction as discussed in Note 2, higher incentive compensation costs, increased tax related professional fees and increased support costs related to higher business volumes. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 6.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 6.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
Net interest expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $0.2 million in the same period a year earlier.
Other expense in the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $0.1 million. There was no other income or expense in the three months ended December 31, 2012.
The effective tax rate was 28.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 36.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2012. We completed a fiscal 2013 R&D study in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 resulting in a significantly higher credit than previously estimated. Therefore, we recorded a benefit from the increased credit available for fiscal 2013 R&D activities and increased our estimate of the benefit we expect to receive for fiscal 2014 R&D activities. The fiscal 2013 tax rate was primarily affected by an increase in the estimate of certain tax credits available to the Company, partially offset by the effect of a change in deductibility limitations applying to certain items that had been previously fully deducted.

Electrical Infrastructure
Revenues for the Electrical Infrastructure segment decreased $12.9 million to $37.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $50.1 million in the same period a year earlier. The decreased revenue volume in fiscal 2014 was primarily due to a lack of storm restoration services work and lower high voltage work due to short term delays in certain key customer spending. Gross margins were 10.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 13.2% in the same period a year earlier. Fiscal 2014 margins were negatively affected by the mix of work leading to lower direct margins and lower recovery of overhead costs. Fiscal 2013 margins were positively affected from higher direct margins related to storm restoration work and higher recovery of overhead costs.
Oil Gas & Chemical
Revenues for the Oil Gas & Chemical segment decreased to $62.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $66.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $4.5 million, or 6.8%, was primarily due to a lower level of capital construction projects partially offset by higher turnaround and industrial cleaning work. Gross margins declined from 12.1% in fiscal 2013 to 10.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to lower margins in both the industrial cleaning and capital construction businesses and an unfavorable variance in the absorption of construction overhead costs.
Storage Solutions
Revenues for the Storage Solutions segment increased to $180.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $97.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $82.9 million, or 84.9%, was primarily due to higher levels of domestic aboveground storage tank and significant terminal balance of plant work. The fiscal 2014 gross margin was reduced by 2.6% to 11.0% due to a project charge of $4.4 million. Gross margins in fiscal 2013 were reduced by 3.8% to 7.9% due to a project charge of $3.3 million. The overall improvement in the gross margin is due to the reduced impact of project charges and strong project execution in fiscal 2014, particularly on certain key strategic projects.
Industrial
Revenues for the Industrial segment increased to $31.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $7.0 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $24.1 million was primarily due to growth in our mining and minerals and material handling businesses, as well as ongoing work on a previously announced project for the engineering, procurement and construction of specialty tanks in a nitrogen fertilizer complex. Fiscal 2014 revenues also included $3.9 million related to the acquisition discussed in Note 2. Gross margins were 12.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to (1.3%) in the same period a year earlier. The improvement in gross margins is due to improved execution, a higher recovery of construction overhead costs and a favorable contract settlement.

Consolidated
Consolidated revenues were $537.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $106.2 million, or 24.6%, from consolidated revenues of $431.0 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of increases in Storage Solutions and Industrial revenues, which increased $86.8 million and $41.8 million respectively, partially offset by decreases in Electrical Infrastructure and Oil Gas & Chemical revenues of $13.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively. Consolidated gross profit increased from $44.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012 to $59.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $15.0 million was due to both higher revenues and higher gross margins which increased to 11.1% in fiscal 2014 compared to 10.3% a year earlier.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $34.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $27.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $6.1 million, or 21.9%, was primarily related to direct costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of Kvaerner North American Construction as discussed in Note 2, higher incentive compensation costs, increased tax related professional fees and increased support costs related to higher business volumes. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 6.3% in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 6.5% in the same period a year earlier.
Net interest expense was $0.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 and $0.4 million in the same period a year earlier.
Other expense in the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $0.2 million. Other income in the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.1 million.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate was 32.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 38.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2012. We completed a fiscal 2013 R&D study in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 resulting in a significantly higher credit than previously estimated, therefore, we recorded a discrete positive adjustment of approximately $1.0 million. In addition, we increased our estimate of the fiscal 2014 R&D credit resulting in an additional benefit of approximately $0.7 million.
Electrical Infrastructure
Revenues for the Electrical Infrastructure segment decreased $13.3 million to $70.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $83.4 million in the same period a year earlier. The decline in revenues was primarily attributable to lower storm related work in fiscal 2014. Gross margins were 10.3% in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 13.6% in the same period a year earlier. Fiscal 2014 margins were negatively affected by the mix of work leading to lower direct margins and higher unrecovered overhead costs. Fiscal 2013 margins were positively affected from higher direct margins related to storm restoration work.
Oil Gas & Chemical
Revenues for the Oil Gas & Chemical segment decreased to $124.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $133.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $9.1 million, or 6.8%, was primarily due to a lower level of capital construction projects partially offset by higher turnaround and industrial cleaning work. Gross margins were 11.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 11.9% a year earlier.
Storage Solutions
Revenues for the Storage Solutions segment increased to $288.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $201.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $86.8 million, or 43.0%, was primarily due to higher levels of domestic aboveground storage tank and significant terminal balance of plant work. The fiscal 2014 gross margin was reduced by 1.7% to 11.3% due to a project charge of $4.0 million. Gross margins in fiscal 2013 were reduced by 1.8% to 8.8% due to a project charge of $3.0 million. The overall improvement in the gross margin is due to the reduced impact of project charges and strong project execution in fiscal 2014, particularly on certain key strategic projects.
Industrial
Revenues for the Industrial segment increased to $53.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $12.0 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $41.8 million was primarily due to growth in our mining and minerals and material handling businesses, as well as ongoing work on a previously announced project for the engineering, procurement and construction of specialty tanks in a nitrogen fertilizer complex. Fiscal 2014 revenues also included $3.9 million related to the acquisition discussed in Note 2. Gross margins were 10.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to (3.2%) in the same period a year earlier. The improvement in gross margins is due to improved execution, a higher recovery of construction overhead costs and a favorable contract settlement.
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, 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 and other established customer arrangements, 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.

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 sources of liquidity for the
six months ended
December 31, 2013
were cash on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year, capacity under our senior revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations. Cash on hand at
December 31, 2013
totaled
$73.3 million
and availability under the senior revolving credit facility totaled
$88.7 million
resulting in available liquidity of $
162.0 million
.
Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:
•
Changes in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs due to 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.
•
Other changes in working capital
•
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
•
Capacity constraints under our senior revolving credit facility and remaining in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement
The acquisition discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was funded with cash on hand and $15.0 million of borrowings under the senior credit facility. Although the acquisition did result in a reduction to our liquidity, the Company believes that the remaining availability under the credit facility along with cash on hand and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to achieve both our short and long-term business objectives.

We have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $400 million of senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants. This shelf registration statement gives us additional flexibility, when capital market conditions are favorable, to grow our business, finance acquisitions or to optimize our balance sheet in order to improve or maintain our financial flexibility. We may also elect to issue term debt or increase the amount of our revolving credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities
$

The cash effect of significant changes in operating assets and liabilities include the following:
•
Accounts receivable increased by $11.7 million. The accounts receivable increase is due to the timing of billings particularly in the Storage Solutions segment. We view this as a normal short-term fluctuation.
•
The net change in the combined balance 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 a decrease to cash of $14.4 million at December 31, 2013. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in costs in excess of billings in the Storage Solutions segment in the current period.
•
Accounts payable increased by $32.7 million. The increase was primarily due to the timing of subcontractor payments on a significant Storage Solutions project.
Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities
Investing activities used $63.0 million of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2014. This was primarily due to the purchase of Matrix NAC in the amount of $51.4 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition is discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Capital expenditures used $12.0 million of cash and proceeds from asset dispositions generated cash of $0.3 million. Capital expenditures consisted of $8.1 million for the purchase of construction equipment, $2.1 million for transportation equipment, $1.3 million for office equipment and software and $0.5 million for land and buildings.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities provided $22.2 million of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to net cash borrowings of $23.2 million and stock issuances of $0.6 million, partially offset by treasury shares purchases of $1.6 million. Cash borrowings included a $15.0 million borrowing used to assist in the funding of a recent business acquisition and Canadian dollar advances to fund our existing Canadian operations including amounts to settle intercompany cross currency billings. The acquisition is discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a five-year, $125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that expires November 7, 2016. Advances under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.
The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
•
Our Senior Leverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, may not exceed 2.50 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
•
We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
•
Asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) are limited to $15.0 million per 12-month period.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The additional margin on Alternate Base Rate and LIBOR-based loans ranges between 0.75% and 1.5% and between 1.75% and 2.5%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement also permits us to borrow in Canadian dollars with a sublimit of U.S. $15.0 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 (ii) the CDOR Rate plus 1.0%.
The Unused Credit Facility Fee is between 0.30% and 0.45% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.
As noted previously, the Credit Agreement includes a Senior Leverage Ratio covenant which provides that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness may not exceed 2.5 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, over the previous four quarters. For the four quarters ended
December 31, 2013
, Consolidated EBITDA was

Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other dividends paid during such fiscal year, does not exceed 50% of our

cumulative net income for such fiscal year to such date. 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 relevant factors.
Stock Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares
Treasury Shares
On November 6, 2012, our Board of Directors approved an extension of a stock buyback program through calendar year 2014. The program allows the Company to purchase up to 2,113,497 shares provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year if sufficient liquidity exists and we believe that it is in the best interest of the stockholders. The Company has not purchased any shares under this program since the Board of Directors approved the extension.
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 employee’s deferred shares. Matrix withheld 75,533 shares in the first six months of fiscal
2014
to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares.
The Company has 1,549,518 treasury shares as of
December 31, 2013
and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.
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 each of our segments;
•
our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to raise cash in order to meet our short and long-term capital requirements;
•
the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;
•
expansion and other trends of the industries we serve;
•
our expectations with respect to the likelihood of a future impairment; 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 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, 2013
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, power and mining and minerals industries in particular;
•
changes in laws or regulations; and
-

Table of Contents
•
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 or effects on 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, 2013
, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on market risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our fiscal
2013
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 SEC’s 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 Company’s 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
December 31, 2013
. 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
December 31, 2013
.
We have completed the acquisition of Matrix NAC effective December 21, 2013. We are in the process of assessing and, to the extent necessary, making changes to the internal control over financial reporting of Matrix NAC to conform such internal control to that used on our other operations. However, we are not yet required to evaluate, and have not yet fully evaluated, changes in Matrix NAC's internal control over financial reporting. Subject to the foregoing, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a party to a number of legal proceedings. We believe that the nature and number of these proceedings are typical for a company of our size engaged in our type of business and that none of these proceedings will result in a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes in our Risk Factors from those reported in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013
.
RISKS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION OF KVAERNER NORTH AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION (“KNAC”)
We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisition of KNAC, which could cause our business to suffer.
Our acquisition of KNAC is significant. KNAC’s total assets account for approximately 27.6% of our total assets as of December 31, 2013. We may not be able to combine successfully the operations, personnel and technology of KNAC. Because of the size and complexity of KNAC’s business, if integration is not managed successfully by our management, we may experience interruptions in our business activities, a decrease in the quality of our services, a deterioration in our employee and customer relationships, increased costs of integration and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The integration of KNAC with our operations will require significant attention from management, which may decrease the time that management will have to serve existing customers, attract new customers and develop new services and strategies. We may also experience difficulties in combining corporate cultures, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees. The integration with KNAC may also impose substantial demands on our operations or other projects. We will have to actively strive to demonstrate to our existing customers that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes in our standards or business focus. The integration of KNAC will also involve a significant capital commitment, and the return that we achieve on any capital invested may be less than the return achieved on our other projects or investments. There will be challenges in consolidating and rationalizing information technology platforms and administrative infrastructures. In addition, any delays or increased costs of integrating the companies could adversely affect our operations, financial results and liquidity.
We may not realize the growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies that are anticipated from our acquisition of KNAC.
The benefits we expect to achieve as a result of our acquisition of KNAC will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies. Our success in realizing these growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies, and the timing of this realization, depends on the successful integration of KNAC’s business and operations with our business and operations. Even if we are able to integrate our business with KNAC’s business successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies we currently expect from this integration within the anticipated time frame or at all. For example, we anticipate that we will incur substantial expenses in connection with the integration of KNAC’s information systems. While we anticipate that certain expenses will be incurred, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately, and may exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the benefits from the proposed acquisition may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the companies, which could cause our revenue assumptions and operating margin to be inaccurate.
The acquisition may expose us to unindemnified liabilities.
As a result of the proposed acquisition, we will acquire KNAC subject to certain of its liabilities. If there are unknown KNAC obligations, our business could be materially and adversely affected. We may learn additional information about KNAC’s business that adversely affects us, such as unknown liabilities, issues that could affect our ability to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or issues that could affect our ability to comply with other applicable laws. As a result, we cannot assure you that the acquisition of KNAC will be successful or will not, in fact, harm our business. Among other things, if KNAC’s liabilities are greater than expected, or if there are material obligations of which we were not aware at the time of completion of the acquisition, our business could be materially and adversely affected. If we become responsible for liabilities not covered by indemnification rights or substantially in excess of amounts covered through any indemnification rights, we could suffer severe consequences that would substantially reduce our revenues, earnings and cash flows.

The steel industry is cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
A significant percentage of KNAC’s revenues are derived from steel industry customers. Demand for most of our steel industry customers’ products is cyclical in nature and sensitive to general economic conditions. The timing and magnitude of the cycles in the markets in which our customers’ products are used, including automobiles and residential construction, are difficult to predict. The cyclical nature of our customers’ operations tends to reflect and be amplified by changes in economic conditions, both domestically and internationally, supply/demand imbalances and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Economic downturns or a prolonged period of slow growth in the U.S. and foreign markets or any of the industries in which our steel industry customers operate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Increases in imports of foreign steel into the U.S. may reduce domestic demand for our customers’ products.
Economic expansion in China and other foreign countries has affected the availability, and increased the price volatility, of steel products. Expansions and contractions in these economies can significantly affect the price of steel and of finished steel products. Additionally, in a number of foreign countries, such as China, steel producers are generally government-owned and may therefore make production decisions based on political or other factors that do not reflect market conditions. Disruptions in foreign markets from excess steel production may encourage importers to target the U.S. with excess capacity at aggressive prices, and existing trade laws and regulations may be inadequate to prevent unfair trade practices, which could have a material adverse effect on our steel industry customers. Although trade regulations restrict the importation of certain products, if foreign steel production significantly exceeds consumption in those countries, imports of steel products into the U.S. could increase, resulting in lower volumes and selling prices for our customers’ steel products, which could result in a decline in the maintenance and construction work we provide to these customers.

Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other dividends paid during such fiscal year, does not exceed 50% of our cumulative net income for such fiscal year to such date. 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 relevant factors.

We do not act as the owner of any mines, but as a result of our performing services or construction at mine sites as an independent contractor, we are considered an "operator" within the meaning of the Mine Act.
