MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our second quarter results reflect solid performance across the organization as we continued to deliver work safely and reliably for our customers," said John Hewitt, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our quarterly results were impacted by $3.6 million of costs as we start up and commission specialty vessel work in our Storage and Terminal Solutions segment. Looking to the second half of the fiscal year, we continue to expect improving profitability, driven by higher volumes in our Storage and Terminal Solutions segment. The business remains on track to achieve our full-year guidance of $875 million to $925 million of revenue.

"Long-term demand across our end markets remains strong, supported by a multi-year investment cycle in energy, power, and industrial infrastructure," continued Hewitt. "While we expect near-term project awards to remain subdued, we continue to secure strategically attractive projects that align with our long-term growth priorities. Structural constraints on reliable power generation, increased electrification, and accelerating requirements from data centers and advanced manufacturing are driving sustained customer activity. We believe the industry remains in the early stages of this build-out, and our opportunity pipeline of $7.3 billion reflects the infrastructure demands our customers face as well as their desire to secure experienced partners capable of safely executing complex projects.

"Through our Win, Execute & Deliver strategy, we continue to sharpen our focus on core energy and industrial capabilities and investing in our people, systems, and processes. These actions have and will continue to strengthen our execution discipline and improve our ability to convert awards into profitable revenue. With a growing portfolio of LNG, power generation, and electrical connectivity projects, Matrix is well positioned to deliver profitable growth and long-term value for shareholders."

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Fiscal 2026 second quarter revenue was $210.5 million, compared to $187.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in revenue for the quarter is attributable to higher revenue volumes in each of our segments.

Gross profit was $13.1 million, or 6.2%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $10.9 million, or 5.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross margin was due to higher revenues which resulted in improved recovery of overhead costs, as well as strong project execution throughout the majority of the business. However, costs associated with warranty-type items, as well as certain third party commercial matters, arising during commissioning of specialty tank work resulted in a $3.6 million reduction in gross profit, and a 1.6% reduction in gross margin.

SG&A expenses were $15.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $17.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily due to cost reductions resulting from the organizational realignment implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Additionally, SG&A decreased by $0.7 million associated with the variable accounting for cash-settled stock-based compensation as a result of fluctuations in our stock price.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had a net loss of $(0.9) million, or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $(5.5) million, or $(0.20) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(0.7) million, or $(0.02) per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $(5.5) million, or $(0.20) per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.4 million compared to $(2.2) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Storage and Terminal Solutions segment revenue increased 5% to $99.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $95.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, due to an increased volume of work on LNG and NGL projects, partially offset by lower volumes for crude oil projects. Gross margin was 4.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 7.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, costs associated with warranty-type items, as well as certain third party commercial matters, arising during commissioning of specialty tank work resulted in a $3.6 million reduction of gross profit during the quarter, and a 3.3% reduction in segment gross margin. Additionally, gross margins for this segment continue to be primarily impacted by under-recovery of overhead costs. We believe overhead cost absorption will improve as activity on awards currently in backlog increases through the remainder of fiscal 2026.

Utility and Power Infrastructure segment revenue increased 23% to $75.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $61.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, benefiting from a higher volume of work associated with power delivery and natural gas peak shaving projects. Gross margin was 9.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 5.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 4.0% due to strong project execution and improved construction overhead cost absorption as a result of higher revenues.

Process and Industrial Facilities segment revenue increased to $35.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $30.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to higher revenue volumes for refinery turnarounds and maintenance work. Gross margin was 3.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 1.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 2.3% primarily due to improved construction overhead cost absorption as a result of higher revenues.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog was $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. Project awards totaled $176.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8x for the quarter. Project awards during the second quarter for fiscal 2026 were driven by activity in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, which produced a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x.

Activity in the quarter included several strategic project awards and commitments in support of LNG, power generation, and electrical infrastructure with both new and established clients. These awards and commitments continue to solidify our backlog and future revenues, as well as the opportunities for future awards from these clients.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract, limited 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 with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which we have received a limited notice to proceed, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that the likelihood of the full project proceeding as high. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Loss

We have presented Adjusted net loss, which we define as Net loss before gain on sale of assets, and the tax impact of these adjustments, because we believe it better depicts our core operating results. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled "Net loss" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net loss. Since Adjusted net loss 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 loss as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net loss, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As Adjusted net loss excludes certain financial information compared with Net loss, 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, Adjusted net loss, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It does not include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.

(1)   Represents the tax impact of the adjustments to Net loss, calculated using the applicable effective tax rate of the adjustment. Due to the existence of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and net operating losses, there was no tax impact of any of the adjustments in any period presented.



Adjusted EBITDA

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net loss before gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, 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 loss" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net loss, 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, Adjusted EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and to acquire businesses, pay commitment fees to maintain our senior secured revolving credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the senior secured revolving 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 interest income. Because we have cash invested in certain investment accounts and we will have earned interest income on these investments, any measure that excludes interest income 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.
  
  
  
  
• It does not include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.
  
  
  
  
• It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to our employees and directors for services rendered. While the expense is non-cash, we historically release vested shares out of our treasury stock, which has been replenished by using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.
