The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company and its subsidiaries (“Matrix”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”), unless otherwise indicated. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.2023.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (fiscal 2025). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2026). We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 2 – Revenue
Remaining Performance Obligations
We had $542.7$749.4 million of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of MarchDecember 31, 2023. We expect to recognize $432.7$437.1 million of our remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next twelve months.
Contract Balances
Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payments, which usually differs from the timing of revenue recognition. As a result, we carry contract assets and liabilities in our balance sheet. These contract assets and liabilities are calculated on a contract-by-contract basis and are classified as current. We present our contract assets in the balance sheet as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts ("CIE"). CIE consists of revenue recognized in excess of billings. We present our contract liabilities in the balance sheet as Billings on Uncompleted Contracts in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings ("BIE"). BIE consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. The following table provides information about CIE and BIE:

The difference between the beginning and ending balances of our CIE and BIE primarily results from the timing of revenue recognized relative to the billings on the associated contract. The amount of revenue recognized during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 that was included in the June 30, 20222023 BIE balance was $57.0$78.3 million. This revenue consists primarily of work performed during the period on contracts with customers that had advance billings.

Progress billings in accounts receivable at MarchDecember 31, 2023 and June 30, 20222023 included retentions to be collected within one year of $18.9$14.7 million and $16.1$16.3 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in other assets, non-current in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $7.8$17.6 million as of MarchDecember 31, 2023 and $4.0$10.0 million as of June 30, 2022.2023.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $11.8 million at December 31, 2023 and $9.7 million at June 30, 2023. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings. The determination of our legal basis for a claim requires significant judgment. Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, since customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

Typically, we assume more risk with fixed-price contracts since increases in costs to perform the work may not be recoverable. However, these types
Table of contracts typically offer higher profits than time and materials and other cost reimbursable contracts when completed at or below the costs originally estimated. The profitability of time and materials and other cost reimbursable contracts is typically lower than fixed-price contracts and is usually less volatile than fixed-price contracts since the profit component is factored into the rates charged for labor, equipment and materials, or is expressed in the contract as a percentage of the reimbursable costs incurred.Contents
Revisions in Estimates
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete and closeout certain midstream gas processing capital projectsconstruction work in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment resulted in the projects reducinga reduction of gross profit by $3.3 million. Together with prior unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders$9.6 million and increased costs, the projects reduced gross profit by $12.7$9.4 million during the ninethree and six months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023. These charges were2022, respectively. This was primarily the result of the client not approving adequate compensation to us for the impact that excessive scope changes had on our ability to progress work on the projectwork according to forecast and for the impact thatimpacts of global supply chain issues and inflation had on the projects. We have accrued the full expected loss for these projects, which we expect to be mechanically complete in July 2023.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, our results of operations were materially impacted by an increase in the forecasted costs to complete a midstream gas processing project in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $4.8 million. The increase in forecasted costs was primarily due to performance of a now-terminated subcontractor, which required rework in order to meet our client's expectations.

During fiscal 2022, our results of operations were materially impacted by changes in the forecasted costs to complete a large capital project in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment. Improved project execution resulted in an increase in gross profit of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, increases in the forecasted costs to complete the project during the first half of fiscal 2022 resulted in the project reducing gross profit by $5.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in forecasted costs during the first half of the fiscal year was principally due to unexpected equipment repairs during commissioning that delayed the scheduled completion and increased the estimated costs to complete. The project was completed in fiscal 2022.
During fiscal 2022, our results of operations were materially impacted by an increase in the costs required to complete a thermal energy storage tank repair and maintenance project in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $5.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2022. The increase in costs was primarily due to changes in repair scope, expanded client weld testing and associated schedule delays. We completed these repairs in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.inflation.

This reporting unit is inno longer strategic to the future of the business.
Note 4 – Goodwill
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023,we had indicators of a potential impairment and performed an interim impairment test within the Process and Industrial Facilities segment and includes the midstream gas processing projects referenced in Note 2 - Revenue, Revisions in Estimates, which experienced a material adverse change in gross profit during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Based on the indicated outcome of this project and our near-term outlook for the reporting unit, we performed an interim impairment test for the unit andsegment. We concluded that its $12.3 million of goodwill was fully impaired. Theimpaired and recognized the impairment was recognized in operating loss during the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Based on the totality of both positive and negative factors, no impairment indicators related to the other reporting units existed at March 31, 2023. However, if our view of project opportunities or gross margins deteriorates, particularly for the remaining higher risk reporting units, then we may need to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, which could result in an impairment.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, we concluded that goodwill impairment indicators existed based on the decline in the price of our stock and operating results that had underperformed during the year. As such, we performed an interim impairment test and concluded $18.3 million of goodwill was impaired.

Note 5 – Debt
On September 9, 2021, the Company and our primary U.S. and Canada operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-based credit agreement, which was amended on October 5, 2022 and December 29, 2023 (as amended, the "ABL Facility"), with Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer, and the lenders named therein. The maximum amount of loans under the ABL Facility is limited to $90.0 million. The ABL Facility's available borrowings may be increased by an amount not to exceed $15.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments. The ABL Facility is intended to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, issuances of letters of credit and other lawful purposes. Our obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by a first lien on all our assets and the assets of our co-borrowers and guarantors under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures, and any outstanding amounts become due and payable, on September 9, 2026.
The maximum amount that we may borrow under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on restricted cash plus a percentage of the value of certain accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, reduced for certain reserves. We are required to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million of restricted cash at all times, but such amounts are also included in the borrowing base. The ABL Facility matures,borrowing base is recalculated on a monthly basis and any outstanding amounts become due and payable, on September 9, 2026. At Marchat December 31, 2023, our borrowing base was $78.5 million, we had $15.0 million of$69.1 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings and weunder the ABL Facility. The Company had $19.3$10.0 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2023, which resulted in availability of $44.2$59.1 million under the ABL Facility.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at our option, an annual rate of either a base rate (“Base Rate”), an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), or at the Canadian Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The Adjusted Term SOFR is defined as (i) the SOFR plus (ii) 11.448 basis points for a one-month tenor and 26.161 basis points for a three-month tenor; provided that the Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be below zero. The Base Rate is defined as a fluctuating interest rate equal to the greater of: (i) rate of interest announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time as its prime rate; (ii) the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for one month period plus 1.00%; or (iv) 1.00%. Depending on the amount of average availability, the applicable margin is between 1.00% to 1.50% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings, which includes either U.S. or Canadian prime rate, and between 2.00% and 2.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings. Interest is payable either (i) monthly for Base Rate or

Table of Contents
Canadian Prime Rate borrowings or (ii) the last day of the interest period for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings, as set forth in the ABL Facility. The fee for undrawn amounts is 0.25% per annum and is due quarterly. The interest rate in effect for borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, including applicable margin, was approximately 7.17%.
The ABL Facility contains customary conditions to borrowings, events of default and covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to sell assets, engage in mergers and acquisitions, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness and guarantees, create or permit to exist liens, pay cash dividends, issue equity instruments, make distribution or redeem or repurchase capital stock. In the event that our availability is less than the greater of (i) $15.0 million and (ii) 15.00% of the commitments under the ABL Facility then in effect, a consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 must be maintained. We were in compliance with all covenants of the ABL Facility as of MarchDecember 31, 2023.
Note 6 – Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rates were 2.8% and 0.7%zero for each of the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 compared to 0.4% and (7.8%)2022. The effective tax rates during fiscal 2024 were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $1.4 million placed on deferred tax assets during the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022,2023, respectively. The effective tax rates during fiscal 2023 were impacted by valuation allowances of $3.6$8.4 million and $13.3$9.8 million placed on deferred tax assets during the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023,2022, respectively.
Valuation Allowance
We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future, or cumulative losses are no longer present and our future projections for growth or tax planning strategies are demonstrated.

Net Operating Loss Carryback Refund
Through provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (the "CARES Act"), we had an income tax benefit from the ability to carryback the fiscal 2021 federal net operating loss to a period with a higher statutory federal income tax rate. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we received a $13.3 million tax refund in connection with this carryback, which was included in income taxes receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.
Deferred Payroll Taxes
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we repaid the remaining $5.6 million of U.S. payroll taxes we deferred through provisions of the CARES Act. The balance of deferred payroll taxes was included within accrued wages and benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.future.
Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
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.
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. We 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. We maintain a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. We generally require our subcontractors to indemnify us and our customer and name us 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 us, 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.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $14.7 million at March 31, 2023 and $8.9 million at June 30, 2022. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings. The determination of our legal basis for a claim requires significant judgment. Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, since customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.
OtherLitigation
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we commenced litigation in an effort to collect accountsan account receivable from an iron and steel customer on a reimbursable contract following the deterioration of the relationshiprelationship. In connection with our suit, the customer filed certain counterclaims against us. In September 2023, a jury returned a verdict in our favor and awarded us the second quarterfull contract balance. We received full payment of $16.8 million in October 2023.
During fiscal 2020.2023, we completed cost reimbursable construction services for a customer at a mining and minerals facility. In late fiscal 2023, after numerous attempts to collect outstanding receivables, we filed a notice of default for lack of payment of outstanding balances, and in early fiscal 2024, we filed a lien on the facility. The unpaid accountcustomer responded by commencing litigation against us, alleging breach of contract and breach of express warranty. We deny all claims and filed a countersuit against the customer for failure to pay outstanding amounts of accounts receivable, balance at Marchwhich totaled $5.6 million as of December 31, 2023 was $17.0 million.2023. Litigation is unpredictable;unpredictable, however, based on the terms of the contract with this customer, we believe we are entitled to collect the full amount owed under the contract.

Table of Contents
During fiscal 2022, we filed an arbitration demand in an effort to collect outstanding balances of $32.7 million from a customer for which we completed a crude oil storage terminal project. The customer has filed counterclaims for liquidated damages and miscellaneous warranty items. We deny all claims and believe we are entitled to collect the full amount owed under the contract. Our hearing for this matter is currently scheduled for October 2024.
We believe we have set appropriate reserves for the matters described above based on our evaluation of the possible outcomes of the litigation. We and our subsidiaries are participants in various other legal actions. It is the opinion of management that none of the other known legal actions will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We also provide construction services to a variety of power generation facilities, including natural gas fired facilities in simple or combined cycle configurations.
Process and Industrial Facilities: primarily consists of plant maintenance, repair, and turnarounds in the downstream and midstream markets for energy clients including refining and processing of crude oil, fractionating, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. We also perform engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction for refinery upgrades and retrofits for renewable fuels. We also construct thermal vacuum test chambers for aerospace and defense industries and other infrastructure for industries including petrochemical, sulfur, mining and minerals primarily in the extraction of non-ferrous metals, cement, agriculture, wastewater treatment facilities and other industrial customers.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on operating income. We eliminate intersegment sales; therefore, no intercompany profit or loss is recognized. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses are excluded from our three reportable segments in order to align controllable costs with the responsibility of segment management, and to be consistent with how our chief operating decision-maker assesses segment performance and allocates resources. In fiscal year 2022, we commenced a project to centralize and standardize certain support functions including accounting, human resources and project support. These centralized support functions are now included in corporate selling, general and administrative expense, but were previously included in our operating segment selling, general and administrative expense. Segment assets consist primarily of accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.

Note 10 – Restructuring Costs
In fiscal 2020, we initiated a business improvement plan to increase profitability and reduce our cost structure in order to help us become more competitive and deliver higher quality service. As a result of specific events, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market disruptions, the Company expanded its business improvement plan.
The business improvement plan consistsconsisted of an initial phase of discretionary cost reductions, workforce reductions, reduction of capital expenditures and the reduction in size or closure of certain offices in order to increase the utilization of our staff and bring the cost structure of the business in line with revenue volumes. In fiscal 2022, we commenced a second phase of our plan to focus on centralization of support functions, including business development, accounting, human resources, procurement and project services into shared service centers. During the second quarterthree and six months ended December 31, 2022, we incurred restructuring costs of fiscal 2023, we closed an underperforming office$1.3 million and ceased its associated operations, which resulted in $0.7$2.6 million, of restructuring costs. We expect to complete these restructuring efforts in fiscal 2023 or early fiscal 2024.respectively. The restructuring costs consistwere primarily ofrelated to severance costs, facility closure costs, consulting fees and other liabilities.personnel-related costs in connection with the second phase of our plan as well as the closure of an underperforming operating location. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.

Operational Update
We received $308.7 million of project awards during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.7 for the quarter. These awards are a continuation of the growth trend that began last fiscal year and the third quarter of fiscal 2023 marks the seventh consecutive quarter with a book-to-bill ratio at or above 1.0. We have now received $862.0 million of project awards so far during fiscal 2023 and expect that amount to be over $1.0 billion at the conclusion of the fiscal year.
Revenue of $186.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was lower than revenue of $193.8 million duringDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as certain2024, we continued to make progress on efforts to position the company for profitable growth. Another quarter of strong project awards contributed to a total of $1.4 billion of project awards in the last 12 months, and the highest backlog in the company's history. Many of these project awards are large construction projects awarded in prior periods continuethat will generate revenues over a multi-year period with expected gross margins at our pre-pandemic historical gross margin range. While the time to work off while the contributionconvert these awards to revenue is dependent on a variety of newly awarded projects is still limited as they progress through engineering and planning stages.
Gross margin was 2.4%factors, many outside of our control, we expect modest growth in the third quarter of this fiscal 2023 comparedyear, and a substantial recovery of revenues in the fourth quarter and beyond. We have also improved project execution, resulting in strong direct gross margins in all three of our segments. We tightly managed costs, with selling, general and administrative expenses at their lowest level since 2014. These efforts have produced a cost structure that we expect to a negativeleverage for enhanced gross margin of (0.7%) inmargins and operating income as revenue volumes return. We have also closely managed our balance sheet. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023.2024, we repaid all outstanding borrowings on our ABL Facility while simultaneously growing our cash balance by $19.8 million. The primary driverresult is a strong financial position, which will provide the foundation for future growth. The combination of our low gross margin duringthese factors positions the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was low revenue volumes, which led to under-recovery of construction overhead costs.In addition, our results were impacted by increased forecasted costs to complete and close out certain midstream gas processing work, which was partly offset by the net positive impact of strongcompany for significantly improved financial performance of other projects.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $186.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $177.0 million in the same period last year. On a segment basis, revenue increased in the Process and Industrial Facilities and Storage and Terminal Solutions segments by $30.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $24.3 million in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.

Table of Contents

Consolidated gross profit increased to $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of $1.8 million in the same period last year. Gross margin increased to 2.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (1.0%) in the same period last year. Gross margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs, continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period, unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, and other increases in forecasted costs to complete a limited number of projects. Gross margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs and an increase in forecasted costs on a midstream gas processing project in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment.
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $16.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $17.0 million in the same period last year.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $18.3 million. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Goodwill, for more information about the impairment.
We recorded restructuring costs of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a credit of $1.6 million to restructuring costs in the same period last year. The credit was due to a favorable settlement of a restructuring obligation related to our exit from the domestic iron and steel industry in fiscal 2020. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 - Restructuring Costs, for more information about our business improvement plan.
Interest expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of interest on debt outstanding, unused capacity fees, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees and other interest.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were 2.8% and 0.4%, respectively. The effective tax rates for both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $3.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets. We placed a valuation allowance on all of our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future, or cumulative losses are no longer present and our future projections for growth or tax planning strategies are demonstrated.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $34.9 million, or $1.30 per fully diluted share, in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Utility and Power Infrastructure
Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $35.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $59.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease is due to lower volumes of LNG peak shaving work.
The segment gross margin was 8.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.8%) in the same period last year. This margin was driven by good execution on of a mix of work that that was primarily comprised of lower margin cost reimbursable power delivery work.
The negative segment gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs, an increase in forecasted cost on a capital project, and lower margins on capital work bid competitively.
Process and Industrial Facilities
Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $99.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $69.0 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes of refinery maintenance and turnaround activity, work on a capital project at a small-scale boron facility, work on a capital project at a biodiesel facility, and midstream gas processing capital work.

Table of Contents

The segment gross margin was 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.6%) in the same period last year. The segment gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing capital projects, which resulted in the projects reducing gross profit by $3.3 million for the quarter. These charges were primarily the result of the client not approving adequate compensation to us for the impact that excessive scope changes had on our ability to progress work on the projects according to forecast and for the impact that global supply chain issues and inflation had on the projects. We have accrued the full expected loss for the projects, which we expect to be mechanically complete in July 2023. Finally, segment gross margin was also negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs. Outside of work on midstream gas processing projects, project execution was strong for the remainder of the segment.
The segment gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was negatively impacted by an increase in forecasted costs to complete a midstream gas processing project, which resulted in a $4.8 million reduction to gross profit. The increase in forecasted costs was primarily due to performance of a now-terminated subcontractor, which required rework in order to meet our client's expectations. In addition, the mix of work, which was impacted by increased reimbursable maintenance activity, also contributed to lower margins. The segment gross margin was also negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs.
Storage and Terminal Solutions
Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $52.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $48.7 million in the same period last year. Project awards, which have been strong with a year-to-date book-to-bill of 1.6, will begin to substantially impact revenue in the fourth quarter.
The segment had a negative gross margin of (1.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.9)% in the same period last year. The primary driver of the negative fiscal 2023 segment gross margin was the under recovery of construction overhead costs due to low revenue volumes. Revenue volumes during the quarter were low as the strong storage project awards received in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 are not expected to positively impact revenue until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
The segment gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs, and smaller competitively priced capital projects.
Corporate
Unallocated corporate expenses were $6.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $7.2 million in the same period last year.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $589.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $507.1 million in the same period last year. On a segment basis, revenue increased in the Process and Industrial Facilities and Storage and Terminal Solutions segments by $103.9 million and $19.0 million, respectively. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $40.9 million in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $16.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of $2.1 million in the same period last year. Gross margin increased to 2.7% in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.4%) in the same period last year. Gross margins in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, the under recovery of construction overhead costs, continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period, and other increases in forecasted costs to complete a limited number of projects. Gross margins in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. In addition, the competitive environment and project adjustments negatively impacted gross margins.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $51.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $49.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher project pursuit costs and other costs to support higher revenue volumes.

Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were 0.7% and (7.8%), respectively. The effective tax rates for both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $13.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets. We placed a valuation allowance on all of our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future, or cumulative losses are no longer present and our future projections for growth or tax planning strategies are demonstrated.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $52.0 million or $1.93 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $77.4 million, or $2.90 per fully diluted share, in the nine months ended March 31, 2022.
Utility and Power Infrastructure
Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $130.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $171.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes of LNG peak shaving and partially offset by higher volumes of power delivery work.
The segment gross margin was 5.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (4.1%) in the same period last year. The segment gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by continued work on projects with previously reduced gross margins, projects that were bid competitively, and the under recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower revenue volumes. These negative impacts were partially offset by strong execution of cost reimbursable power delivery work.
The segment gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. In addition, the fiscal 2022 segment gross margin was materially impacted by changes in the forecasted costs to complete a large capital project, which resulted in the project reducing gross profit by $5.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Segment gross margin was also negatively impacted by an unfavorable settlement of a claim with a customer.
Process and Industrial Facilities
Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $267.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $163.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes of refinery maintenance and turnaround activity, midstream gas processing capital work, work on a capital project at a biodiesel facility, and work on a capital project at a small-scale boron facility.
The segment gross margin was 0.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 4.1% in the same period last year. The segment gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing capital projects, which resulted in the projects reducing gross profit by $12.7 million for the period. These charges were primarily the result of the client not approving adequate compensation to us for the impact that excessive scope changes had on our ability to progress work on the projects according to forecast and for the impact that global supply chain issues and inflation had on the projects. We have accrued the full expected loss for the projects, which we expect to be mechanically complete in July 2023. Finally, segment gross margin was also negatively impacted by the under recovery construction overhead costs. Outside of work on midstream gas processing projects, project execution was strong for the remainder of the segment.

Table of Contents

Despite generally strong project execution, the segment gross margin in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was negatively impacted by under recovered construction overhead costs and a $4.8 million increase in forecasted costs to complete a midstream gas processing project. The increase in forecasted costs was primarily due to performance of a now-terminated subcontractor, which required rework in order to meet our client's expectations.
Storage and Terminal Solutions
Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $191.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $172.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in segment revenue is primarily a result of higher volumes of specialty vessel and tank and terminal capital projects along with higher volumes of tank repair and maintenance work.
The segment gross margin was 4.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.1%) in the same period last year. The fiscal 2023 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs due to low revenue volumes. Project awards, which have been strong with a year-to-date book-to-bill of 1.6, will begin to substantially impact revenue in the fourth quarter.
The segment gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was negatively impacted by low revenue volume, which led to under recovery of construction overhead costs and a lower than previously forecasted margin on a thermal energy storage tank repair and maintenance project due to changes in repair scope, expanded client weld testing and associated schedule delays, which reduced segment gross profit by $5.5 million. In addition, segment gross margin was negatively impacted by smaller competitively priced capital projects.
Corporate
Unallocated corporate expenses were $21.8 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21.5 million in the same period last year.

The most directly comparable financial measures are net loss and loss per share, respectively, presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they more clearly depict our core operating results during the periods presented and provide a more comparable measure of our operating results to other companies considered to be in similar businesses. Since adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net loss before goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, interest expense, 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 Condensed 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 impairment to goodwill. While impairment to goodwill is a non-cash expense in the period recognized, cash or other consideration was still transferred in exchange for goodwill in the period of the acquisition. Any measure that excludes impairment to goodwill has material limitations since this expense represents the loss of an asset that was acquired in exchange for cash or other assets.
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 stock-based compensation. 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 release vested shares out of our treasury stock, which has historically been replenished by using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.
It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and acquisitions, 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.

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 ("LNTP") 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 LNTP, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that the likelihood of the full project proceeding as high.is probable. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Project awards in all segments are cyclical and are typically the result of a sales process that can take several months or years to complete. It is common for awards to shift from one period to another as the timing of awards is dependent upon a number of factors including changes in market conditions, permitting, off take agreements, project financing and other factors. These same factors also impact the timing of project starts and the associated revenue recognized. Backlog volatility may increase for some segments from time to time when individual project awards are less frequent, but more significant. There is an inherent lag between the time a project is awarded and when it begins to have a material impact on revenue. In some cases, this lag can be between three and six months or longer, depending on finalization of scopes, contracts, permits, and facility process requirements. Additionally, awards for larger construction projects may be recognized as revenue over a multi-year period as the projects may take a few years to complete.
Three months ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Three months ended December 31, 2022
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $175.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $193.8 million in the same period last year. The leveldecrease was primarily related to the Process and Industrial Facilities and Utility Power and Infrastructure segments, which decreased by $9.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $10.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of $1.3 million in the same period last year. Gross margin (loss) increased to 6.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to (0.7)% in the same period last year. Gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were positively impacted by strong project execution partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. Gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were also negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs, as well as unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, and continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $15.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $17.5 million in the same period last year. SG&A expenses continue to benefit from the Company's cost control measures. In addition, the timing of project pursuits resulted in lower pursuit costs in the quarter ended December 31, 2023. We remain active in the market as we pursue additional project opportunities.
In the prior year quarter ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.3 million. We did not have any goodwill impairment in the quarter based upon the improved market and performance outlook. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill, for more information about the impairment.
The Company did not incur any restructuring costs during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we closed an underperforming office and ceased its associated operations, which resulted in $1.3 million of restructuring costs. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 - Restructuring Costs, for more information about our business improvement plan. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.
Interest expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of interest on debt outstanding, unused capacity fees, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees and other interest. Interest expense decreased due to the repayment of borrowing under the ABL credit facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2023 included a gain of $2.0 million on the sale of a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma. We received $2.7 million in net proceeds from the sale. The proceeds were received in January 2024. The facility was previously utilized for our industrial cleaning business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This completes the divestiture and closure of a non-core service offering of the business as part of our strategy to focus the business on core markets.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were zero. The effective tax rates during both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets generated during the quarters. We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future.
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $32.8 million, or $1.22 per fully diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Storage and Terminal Solutions
Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $62.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $62.5 million in the same period last year. The revenue volume in the recent quarter was impacted by low levels of material procurement on recently awarded projects. The Company expects higher revenue volume as it moves through the remainder of fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025 as it transitions recent large specialty storage project awards through contracting, project planning and mobilization.

The segment gross margin was 2.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 2.6% in the same period last year. Strong direct margins during the quarter were offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We have allocated additional resources to this segment to support recent awards and anticipated higherrevenue volume in the second half of fiscal 2024. We expect continued award strength in this segment in the next two quarters that will increase revenue volumes and provide more stability in future quarters. With revenue increases in this segment, we expect to reach full recovery of construction overhead costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Utility and Power Infrastructure
Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $40.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $50.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes of power delivery and power generation work. The Company expects higher revenue volume as it moves through the remainder of fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025 as it transitions recent large LNG peak shaver project awards through contracting, project planning and mobilization.
The segment gross margin was 3.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to a gross margin of 4.8% in the same period last year. In the current quarter, strong project execution in this segment was offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower revenue volumes. The segment gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
Process and Industrial Facilities
Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $71.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $80.8 million in the same period last year. Decreases in revenue volumes from midstream gas processing, industrial cleaning, and mining and minerals work were partially offset by increases in work for a renewable energy facility and thermal vacuum chambers.

The segment gross margin (loss) was 9.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to (6.4)% in the same period last year. Project execution improved in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 resulting in a significantly improved gross margin despite the lower revenue volume. The segment gross margin (loss) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing construction work. The project reduced gross profit by $9.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The segment gross margin (loss) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was also negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs and continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
Corporate
Unallocated corporate revenue and expenses were $6.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $7.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a long-standing legal dispute with an iron and steel customer, which resulted in the recognition of $1.2 million of revenue.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2022
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $372.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $402.3 million in the same period last year. On a segment basis, revenue decreased in the Utility and Power Infrastructure and Process and Industrial Facilities segments by $22.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by a $13.1 million increase in revenue in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $22.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross profit of $11.7 million in the same period last year. Gross margin increased to 6.0% in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 2.9% in the same period last year. Gross margins in the first six months of fiscal 2024 were

positively impacted by strong project execution, partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We expect this under-recovery to be temporary as we have maintained overhead resources at levels needed to support higher revenue volumes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margins in the first six months of fiscal 2023 were also negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs, as well as unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $32.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $34.4 million in the same period last year. Consolidated SG&A expenses for the first half of fiscal 2024 continue to benefit from the Company's cost control measures, with lower costs in a number of categories, including pursuit costs, salaries, professional fees, depreciation, and rent. These decreases were partially offset by an additional $1.9 million of expense associated with the variable accounting for cash-settled stock-based compensation, which increased due to a higher stock price.
In the prior year period ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.3 million. We did not have any goodwill impairment in the current period based upon the improved market and performance outlook. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill, for more information about the impairment.
The Company did not incur any restructuring costs during the six months ended December 31, 2023. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we incurred $2.6 million of restructuring costs, which included severance and other personnel-related costs in connection with our restructuring plan. Additionally, we closed an underperforming office and ceased its associated operations, which resulted in $0.7 million of restructuring costs. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 - Restructuring Costs, for more information about our business improvement plan. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.
Interest expense was $0.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $1.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense in both periods consisted primarily of interest on debt outstanding, unused capacity fees, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and letter of credit fees. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding borrowings.
Other income during the six months ended December 31, 2023, included a gain of $2.0 million from the sale of a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma for $2.7 million in net proceeds. The proceeds were received in January 2024. The facility was previously utilized for our industrial cleaning business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized a gain of $2.5 million on the sale of a previously utilized facility in Burlington, Ontario. We received $2.7 million in net proceeds from the sale. We closed this previously utilized facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 because it was no longer strategic to the future of the business.
Our effective tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were zero. The effective tax rates during both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.4 million and $9.8 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets generated during the quarters. We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future.
For the six months ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $6.0 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $39.3 million, or $1.46 per fully diluted share, in the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Storage and Terminal Solutions
Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $152.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $139.4 million in the same period last year. The increase in segment revenue is primarily a result of work on large construction projects awarded in the previous fiscal year, partially offset by lower volumes of work on tanks and terminals projects.
The segment gross margin was 4.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 6.6% in the same period last year. Strong direct margins during the period were offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We have allocated additional resources to this segment to support recent awards and additional revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. As these revenues increase, we expect to reach full recovery of construction overhead costs in the second half of fiscal 2024. The fiscal 2023 segment gross margin was positively impacted by strong project execution, partially offset by low revenue volume, which led to under-recovery of construction overhead costs.

Utility and Power Infrastructure
Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $72.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $95.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in of power generation and power delivery work.
The segment gross margin was 7.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 4.3% in the same period last year. The segment gross margin for the first half of fiscal 2024 was positively impacted by strong project execution which led to favorable project closeouts. This was partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs due low revenue volumes. The segment gross margin for second quarter ended December 31, 2023 was negatively impacted by previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.
Process and Industrial Facilities
Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $146.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $167.4 million in the same period last year. Decreases in revenue volumes from midstream gas processing, industrial facilities, mining and minerals, and refinery turnarounds work were partially offset by increases in work for a renewable energy facility and thermal vacuum chambers.
The segment gross margin was 8.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of (0.5)% in the same period last year. Project execution was significantly improved in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 resulting in a significantly improved gross margin despite the lower revenue volume. The segment gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs due to low revenue volume. Otherwise, project execution was generally strong in this segment including the completion of a midstream gas processing project in line with our previous forecast. The segment gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by work on a midstream gas processing project that experienced increases in forecasted costs to complete in the prior year, which reduced the remaining margin realized on the project. In addition, low revenue volumes resulted in under-recovery of construction overhead costs, which negatively impacted segment gross margin.
Corporate
Unallocated corporate revenues and expenses were $16.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $15.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher cash-settled stock-based compensation due to an increase in the price of our stock and legal costs related to a jury trial that resulted in a verdict in our favor, partially offset by the recognition of $1.2 million of revenue due to the favorable resolution of that dispute, see Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, Litigation, for more information.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Loss
We have presented above only representsAdjusted net loss, which we define as Net loss before restructuring costs, 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 Condensed 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 interim period andindicator of operating performance. Adjusted net loss, as we calculate it, may not be indicativecomparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of full year awards.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 impairments to goodwill. While impairments to intangible assets are non-cash expenses in the period recognized, cash or other consideration was still transferred in exchange for the intangible assets in the period of the acquisition. Any measure that excludes impairments to intangible assets has material limitations since these expenses represent the loss of an asset that was acquired in exchange for cash or other assets.
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 gain on the sale of assets. While these sales occurred outside the normal course of business, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sales resulted in material inflows of cash.

Adjusted EBITDA

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as Net loss before restructuring costs, gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, 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 Condensed 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 loss 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 impairments to goodwill. While impairments to intangible assets are non-cash expenses in the period recognized, cash or other consideration was still transferred in exchange for the intangible assets in the period of the acquisition. Any measure that excludes impairments to intangible assets has material limitations since these expenses represent the loss of an asset that was acquired in exchange for cash or other assets.
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 gain on the sale of assets. While this sale occurred outside the normal course of business, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sale resulted in a material inflow of cash.
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.
It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and acquisitions, 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 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.

Seasonality and Other Factors
Our operating results can exhibit seasonal fluctuations, especially in our Process and Industrial Facilities segment,and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments, for a variety of reasons. Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and theor fall, when the demand for energy is lower. Within the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, transmission and distribution work is generally scheduled by the public utilities when the demand for electricity is at its lowest. Therefore, revenue volume in the summer months is typically lower than in other periods throughout the year.
Our business can also be affected, both positively and negatively, by seasonal factors such as energy demand or weather conditions including hurricanes, snowstorms, wildfires and abnormally low or high temperatures. Some of these seasonal factors may cause some of our offices and projects to close or reduce activities temporarily. In addition to the above noted factors, the general timing of project starts and completions could exhibit significant fluctuations. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of operating results for the full year.
Other factors impacting operating results in all segments come from decreased work volume during holidays, work site permitting delays or customers accelerating or postponing work. The differing types, sizes, and durations of our contracts, combined with their geographic diversity and stages of completion, often results in fluctuations in our operating results.
Our overhead cost structure is generally fixed. Significant fluctuations in revenue usually leads to over or under recoveryunder-recovery of fixed overhead costs, which can have a material impact on our gross margin and profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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 at MarchDecember 31, 2023 were unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand, capacity under our ABL Facility, and cash generated from operations. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at MarchDecember 31, 2023 totaled $48.2$47.2 million and availability under the ABL Facility totaled $44.2$59.1 million, resulting in total liquidity of $92.4$106.3 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased $19.8 million and total liquidity increased $26.0 million as a result of cash provided by operating activities partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the ABL credit facility.

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;

Other factors that may impact both short and long-term liquidity include:

contract disputes, which can be significant;disputes;

collection issues, including those caused by weak commodity prices, economic slowdowns or other factors which can lead to credit deterioration of our customers;

issuances of letters of credit; and

Other factors that may impact long-term liquidity include:

borrowing constraints under our ABL Facility and maintaining compliance with all covenants contained in the ABL Facility;

changes to our capital structure;

acquisitions and disposals of businesses or assets; and

purchases of shares under our stock buyback program.
ABL Credit Facility
On September 9, 2021, the Company and our primary U.S. and Canada operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-based credit agreement, which was amended on October 5, 2022 and December 29, 2023 (as amended, the "ABL Facility"), with Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer, and the lenders named therein. The maximum amount of loans under the ABL Facility is limited to $90.0 million. The ABL Facility's available borrowings may be increased by an amount not to exceed $15.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments. The ABL Facility is intended to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, issuances of letters of credit and other lawful purposes. Our obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by a first lien on all our assets and the assets of our co-borrowers and guarantors under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures, and any outstanding amounts become due and payable, on September 9, 2026.
The maximum amount that we may borrow under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on restricted cash plus a percentage of the value of certain accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, reduced for certain reserves. We are required to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million of restricted cash at all times, but such amounts are also included in the borrowing base. The ABL Facility matures,borrowing base is recalculated on a monthly basis and any outstanding amounts become due and payable, on September 9, 2026. At Marchat December 31, 2023, our borrowing base was $78.5 million, we had $15.0 million of$69.1 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings and weunder the ABL Facility. The Company had $19.3$10.0 million in letters of credit outstanding, which resulted in availability of $44.2$59.1 million under the ABL Facility.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at our option, an annual rate of either a base rate (“Base Rate”), an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), or at the Canadian Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The Adjusted Term SOFR is defined as (i) the SOFR plus (ii) 11.448 basis points for a one-month tenor and 26.161 basis points for a three-month tenor; provided that the Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be below zero. The Base Rate is defined as a fluctuating interest rate equal to the greater of: (i) rate of interest announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time as its prime rate; (ii) the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for one month period plus 1.00%; or (iv) 1.00%. Depending on the amount of average availability, the applicable margin is between 1.00% to 1.50% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings, which includes either U.S. or Canadian prime rate, and between 2.00% and 2.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings. Interest is payable either (i) monthly for Base Rate or
-27-


Table of Contents

Canadian Prime Rate borrowings or (ii) the last day of the interest period for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings, as set forth in the ABL Facility. The fee for undrawn amounts is 0.25% per annum and is due quarterly. The interest rate in effect for borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, including applicable margin, was approximately 7.17%.

Table of Contents

The ABL Facility contains customary conditions to borrowings, events of default and covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to sell assets, engage in mergers and acquisitions, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness and guarantees, create or permit to exist liens, pay cash dividends, issue equity instruments, make distribution or redeem or repurchase capital stock. In the event that our availability is less than the greater of (i) $15.0 million and (ii) 15.00% of the commitments under the ABL Facility then in effect, a consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 must be maintained. We were in compliance with all covenants of the ABL Facility as of MarchDecember 31, 2023.

Cash effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities at MarchDecember 31, 2023 in comparison to June 30, 20222023 include the following:

Accounts receivable, excluding credit losses recognized during the period, increased by $9.5$19.8 million during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, which decreased cash flows from operating activities. The variance is primarily attributable to the timing of billing and collections.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts ("CIE") increased $8.6decreased $4.5 million, which decreasedincreased cash flows from operating activities. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings ("BIE") increased $49.6$31.8 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. CIE and BIE balances can experience significant fluctuations based on business volumes and the timing of when job costs are incurred and the timing of customer billings and payments. The significant increase in BIE is related to the receipt of upfront billings on several large capital projects recently awarded.

Inventories, income taxes receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, operating right-of-use lease assets and other assets, non-current, decreased $11.8increased $0.1 million during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, which increaseddecreased cash flows from operating activities. The primary driver of the decrease was the receipt of a $13.3 million income tax refund during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. These operating assets can fluctuate based on the timing of inventory builds and draw-downs, accrual and receipt of income taxes receivable; prepayments of certain expenses; lease commencement, passage of time, expiration, or termination of operating leases; business volumes; and other timing differences.

Accounts payable, accrued wages and benefits, accrued insurance, operating lease liabilities, other accrued expenses, and other liabilities, non-current decreased by $16.8$14.7 million during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, which decreased cash flows from operating activities. These operating liabilities can fluctuate based on the timing of vendor payments; accruals; lease commencement, lease payments, expiration, or termination of operating leases; business volumes; and other timing differences.

Cash Flows Used by Investing Activities
Investing activities used $6.1 million of cash in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to capital expenditures. Those capital expenditures were comprised of $2.3 million for construction and transportation equipment, $2.1 million for buildings and leasehold improvements, and $1.7 million for office equipment.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows Provided by Investing Activities
Investing activities provided $1.9 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to proceeds from asset sales, partially offset by capital expenditures. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a previously utilized facility in Burlington, Ontario for $2.7 million in net proceeds. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Proceeds from this sale of $2.7 million were received in January 2024 and will be reflected in our cash flows in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We closed these previously utilized facilities as they was no longer strategic to the future of the business. Capital expenditures of $0.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily consisted of transportation equipment.
Cash Flows Used by Financing Activities
Financing activities used $0.1$10.4 million of cash in the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 primarily due to $0.3 million paid to repurchase our stock for payment of withholding taxes due on equity-based compensation, partially offset by the receipt of $0.2$10.0 million in proceeds from issuance of common stockadvances and $20.0 million in repayments under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.ABL facility. As of December 31, 2023, we have no outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and the terms of our ABL Facility limit dividends to stock dividends only. Any future dividend payments will depend on the terms of our ABL Facility, our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other relevant factors.
Stock Repurchase Program
We may repurchase common stock pursuant to the Stock Buyback Program, which was approved by the board of directors in November 2018. Under the program, the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 2,707,175 shares. We may repurchase our stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions and are not obligated to purchase any shares. The program will continue unless and until it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. We made no repurchases under the program in the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and have no current plans to repurchase stock. As of MarchDecember 31, 2023, there were 1,349,037 shares available for repurchase under the Stock Buyback Program. The terms of our ABL Facility limit share repurchases to $2.5 million per fiscal year provided that we meet certain availability thresholds and do not violate our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant.
Treasury Shares
We had 850,661587,732 treasury shares as of MarchDecember 31, 2023 and intend to utilize these treasury shares in connection with equity awards under the our stock incentive plans and for sales to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 20222023 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 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting policies as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.
Revenue Recognition
General Information about our Contracts with Customers
Our revenue comes from contracts to provide engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction, repair and maintenance and other services. Our engineering, procurement and fabrication and construction services are usually provided in association with capital projects, which are commonly fixed-price contracts that are billed based on project milestones. Our repair and maintenance services typically are cost reimbursable or time and materials-based contracts and are billed monthly or, for projects of short duration, at the conclusion of the project. The elapsed time from award to completion of performance may exceed one year for capital projects.
Step 1: Contract Identification
We do not recognize revenue unless we have identified a contract with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. We also evaluate whether a contract should be combined with other contracts and accounted for as a single contract. This evaluation requires judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue and profit recorded for a given period.
Step 2: Identify Performance Obligations
Next, we identify each performance obligation in the contract. A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services to the customer. Revenue is recognized separately for each performance obligation in the contract. Many of our contracts have one clearly identifiable performance obligation. However, many of our contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more of the following services: engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, repair and maintenance services. For these contracts, we do not consider the integrated services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, we generally identify one performance obligation in our contracts. The determination of the number of performance obligations in a contract requires significant judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue recorded for a given period.
Step 3: Determine Contract Price
After determining the performance obligations in the contract, we determine the contract price. The contract price is the amount of consideration we expect to receive from the customer for completing the performance obligation(s). In a fixed-price contract, the contract price is a single lump-sum amount. In reimbursable and time and materials-based contracts, the contract price is determined by the agreed upon rates or reimbursements for time and materials expended in completing the performance obligation(s) in the contract.
A number of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives and penalties that can either increase or decrease the contract price. These variable consideration amounts are generally earned or incurred based on certain performance metrics, most commonly related to project schedule or cost targets. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount of additional consideration to be received (or paid in the case of penalties), provided that meeting the variable condition is probable. We include estimated amounts of variable consideration in the contract price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the contract price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We reassess the amount of variable consideration each accounting period until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Changes in the assessed amount of variable consideration are accounted for prospectively as a cumulative adjustment to revenue recognized in the current period.

Step 4: Assign Contract Price to Performance Obligations
After determining the contract price, we assign such price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. If a contract has multiple performance obligations, we assign the contract price to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices of the distinct services that comprise each performance obligation.
Step 5: Recognize Revenue as Performance Obligations are Satisfied
We record revenue for contracts with our customers as we satisfy the contracts' performance obligations. We recognize revenue on performance obligations associated with fixed-price contracts for engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction services over time since these services create or enhance assets the customer controls as they are being created or enhanced. We measure progress of satisfying these performance obligations by using the percentage-of-completion method, which is based on costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs at completion, since it best depicts the transfer of control of assets being created or enhanced to the customer.
We recognize revenue over time for reimbursable and time and material-based repair and maintenance contracts since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of those services as we perform work under the contract. As a practical expedient allowed under the revenue accounting standards, we record revenue for these contracts in the amount to which we have a right to invoice for the services performed provided that we have a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed to date.
Costs incurred may include direct labor, direct materials, subcontractor costs and indirect costs, such as salaries and benefits, supplies and tools, equipment costs and insurance costs. Indirect costs are charged to projects based upon direct costs and overhead allocation rates per dollar of direct costs incurred or direct labor hours worked. Typically, customer contracts will include standard warranties that provide assurance that products and services will function as expected. We do not sell separate warranties.
We have numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the forecasted costs at completion. Due to the nature of the work left to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total cost at completion for fixed-price contracts is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Estimates of total cost at completion are made each period and changes in these estimates are accounted for prospectively as cumulative adjustments to revenue recognized in the current period. If estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a loss, a provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated.
Change Orders
Contracts are often modified through change orders, which are changes to the agreed upon scope of work. Most of our change orders, which may be priced or unpriced, are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration of services provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a change order on the contract price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. For unpriced change orders, we estimate the increase or decrease to the contract price using the variable consideration method described in the Step 3: Determine Contract Price paragraph above. Unpriced change orders are more fully discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Claims
Sometimes we seek claims for amounts in excess of the contract price for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or other causes of additional costs incurred by us. Recognition of amounts as additional contract price related to claims is appropriate only if there is a legal basis for the claim. The determination of our legal basis for a claim requires significant judgment. We estimate the change to the contract price using the variable consideration method described in the Step 3: Determine Contract Price paragraph above. Claims are more fully discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Financial Statements.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $14.7 million at March 31, 2023 and $8.9 million at June 30, 2022. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired at the acquisition date. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is a level below our reportable segments.
We perform our annual impairment test as of May 31st of each fiscal year, or in between annual tests if impairment indicators are present, to determine whether an impairment exists and to determine the amount of headroom. We define "headroom" as the percentage difference between the fair value of a reporting unit and its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test involves comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then goodwill is impaired to the extent of the difference, but the impairment may not exceed the balance of goodwill assigned to that reporting unit.
We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, and market multiples, referred to as a market approach, to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. For the income approach, significant judgments and assumptions including forecasted project awards, discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate, gross margins, operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures are inherent in the fair value estimates, which are based on our operating and capital budgets and on our strategic plan. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our income approach. For the market approach, significant judgments and assumptions include the selection of guideline companies, forecasted guideline company EBITDA and our forecasted EBITDA. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from our estimate and could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges in the financial statements. As a test for reasonableness, we also consider the combined fair values of our reporting units compared to our market capitalization.
See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Goodwill, for disclosure information about our goodwill balances the results of impairment tests.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances based on our judgments and estimates are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future operating results. We believe that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not. Our estimates are based on facts and circumstances in existence as well as interpretations of existing tax regulations and laws applied to the facts and circumstances, with the help of professional tax advisors. Therefore, we estimate and provide for amounts of additional income taxes that may be assessed by the various taxing authorities.
Loss Contingencies
Various legal actions, claims, and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies”. Specific reserves are provided for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude that a loss is both probable and estimable. We use a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying data and update our evaluation as further information becomes known. We believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
