MATRIX SERVICE ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

TULSA, OK – November 5, 2010 – Matrix Service Co. (Nasdaq: MTRX) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues for the first quarter were $151.8 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 10.2%, from consolidated revenues of $137.7 million in fiscal 2010. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $3.1 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share. Net income was $4.5 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, in the comparable period a year earlier.

Consolidated gross profit was $15.7 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $17.4 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease of $1.7 million was due to lower gross margins which decreased to 10.3% in fiscal 2011 compared to 12.7% a year earlier. Fiscal 2011 selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.6 million compared to $10.1 million in fiscal 2010.

“We are pleased with the improvements we are seeing in our core markets which are reflected in our revenue and backlog growth,” said Michael J. Bradley, President and CEO of Matrix Service Company. “As fiscal 2011 progresses, we remain encouraged that business activity will continue to improve and are reaffirming our previously announced earnings guidance range of $0.60 to $0.80 per fully diluted share.”

Backlog

Consolidated backlog increased $42.0 million, or 11.9%, to $395.2 million as of September 30, 2010 compared to $353.2 million as of June 30, 2010.

Financial Position

At September 30, 2010, Matrix Service’s cash balance was $43.3 million. The Company did not borrow under its revolving credit facility during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Investigation Update

The Company recorded a charge, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for the cost of the investigation. Since the internal investigation is complete and all significant costs have been identified, the Company does not believe this matter will significantly affect earnings in future periods.

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 that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:

 

   

fixed-price arrangements;

 

   

minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

 

   

certain time and material contracts in which the estimated contract value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.

For long-term maintenance contracts 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 the revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

The following table provides a summary of changes in our backlog for the three months ended September 30, 2010:
