- Gross margins were 12.7%,
- Operating income was $7.3 million,
- Fully diluted EPS was $0.17 per share,

TULSA, Okla., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Matrix Service Co. (Nasdaq: MTRX), a leading industrial services company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2009. In addition, the Company announced the results of the transition period related to the change of the fiscal year end from May 31st to June 30th.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2010 Results
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.5 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share on total revenues of $137.7 million. First quarter operating results included a charge related to a legal matter of $1.2 million or $0.03 per fully diluted share. Total revenues were $186.7 million and net income was $9.5 million or $0.36 per fully diluted share in the comparable period a year earlier.
"As we had anticipated, the market environment in the first quarter was challenging," said Michael J. Bradley, president and CEO of Matrix Service Company. "I am pleased with the solid execution of the Matrix Service team and our ability to continue to strengthen our financial position during this difficult economy. While the remainder of calendar 2009 remains challenging, we are encouraged by the increasing level of bid activity in both the Repair and Maintenance Services and Construction Services segments of our business. We remain well positioned to execute our growth strategy when market conditions improve."
Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $77.7 million, compared with $114.8 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease of $37.1 million was mainly due to continued delays in planned projects and a broad based decline in our customers' capital spending. The economic slowdown impacted all of our markets. Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $60.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $71.9 million in fiscal 2009. The decline was also due to the current economy as customers have applied discretion to the scope and timing of maintenance programs.
Consolidated gross profit decreased from $26.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $17.4 million in fiscal 2010. The reduction of $9.3 million was due to the decrease in revenue and lower gross margins. Gross margins decreased from 14.3% in fiscal 2009 to 12.7% in fiscal 2010. The decline was due to lower margins in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment, where the gross margin decreased to 10.5% in the current fiscal quarter versus 16.2% in the prior fiscal quarter. Offset by this decline was an improvement in the Construction Services segment where gross margins increased to 14.3% in the current fiscal quarter compared to 13.1% in fiscal 2009. Gross margins in both segments were negatively affected by a lower volume of business available to recover construction overhead costs. Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased 16.4% to $10.1 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $12.1 million for fiscal 2009. The decline in SG&A expenses is due to our on-going cost reduction efforts related primarily to employee related costs and professional fees.
Consolidated backlog at September 30, 2009 was $328.1 million compared to a backlog of $392.1 million as of June 30, 2009. Contributing to the change were delays of new project awards, decreased spending by our customers and project cancellations, which totaled $12.6 million in the quarter.
Transition Period Results
Net income for the month of June 2009, the fiscal year change transition period, was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share on revenues of $45.8 million. The comparable prior year results were revenues of $60.0 million and net income of $3.7 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share.
The revenue decline was due to lower Construction Services revenues, which decreased from $36.3 million in June 2008 to $28.5 million in June 2009, and lower Repair and Maintenance Services revenues which decreased from $23.7 million in June 2008 to $17.3 million in June 2009.
Gross profit decreased to $5.1 million in June 2009 compared to $9.8 million a year earlier. The decline in gross profit was due to lower revenues and lower gross margins. Gross margins in both segments were negatively affected by a lower volume of business available to recover construction overhead costs in June 2009.
Consolidated backlog at June 30, 2009 was $392.1 million compared to a backlog of $401.1 million as of May 31, 2009.
Financial Position
In fiscal 2010, the Company's cash balance increased from $34.6 million as of May 31, 2009 to $56.5 million as of September 30, 2009. The Company did not borrow under its $75 million revolving credit facility during the three months September 30, 2009 or the one month ended June 30, 2009.
Earnings Guidance
Matrix Service is reaffirming its earnings guidance range of $0.80 to $1.10 per fully diluted share for fiscal 2010. The achievement of the earnings guidance is dependent on an improving economic environment and a resulting higher demand for the Company's services throughout the remainder of fiscal 2010.
