FISCAL 2020 WAS A CHALLENGING AND TRANSFORMATIONAL YEAR
In many ways, fiscal 2020 was a defining year in the history of Matrix Service Company. It was an
extremely challenging year, particularly due to the emergence of COVID-19 and the accompanying
sudden decline in energy demand. While our performance was certainly impacted by this
dynamic, we achieved strong direct margin performance across most of our operating segments.
We grew our market share in LNG peak shaving facilities and bunkering, natural gas processing
and renewable energy, including hydrogen, ethanol and ethylene storage, and we also maintained
our dominant position in crude-related storage and terminal markets.
Important business and strategic decisions were made throughout the fiscal year to better
position the company for the future. Most notably, we exited the iron and steel business in the
United States. While this business accounted for nearly 70% of the industrial segment revenues
in some years, it is a highly cyclical business, with a market that provides the lowest margin
opportunity enterprise-wide and yet demanded the highest working capital.
The restructuring of our power delivery business is a critical undertaking we focused on throughout the year. We see power
delivery as a growth area due to significant demand for upgraded North American electrical infrastructure. We began to see the
effectiveness of our restructuring reflected in improved performance and solid direct margin results in our fiscal fourth quarter,
despite the dramatic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Northeast service territory. We also completed the organizational
redesign of our engineering subsidiary. This resulted in above-plan earnings as this group successfully supported internal EPC
projects for our construction subsidiaries as well as for independent third-party contracts in various end-markets. The full
benefits of these changes will be reflected over time.
HEALTH AND SAFETY WAS ENHANCED AS WE ADAPTED TO UNPRECEDENTED CONDITIONS
At Matrix, our leadership team and our employees acted quickly to implement business
continuity measures and COVID-19-specific mitigation plans.
At the onset of the pandemic, as a provider of essential services, we implemented a robust
mitigation plan to ensure proper protocols were in place. On our project sites, our employees
implemented innovative, effective solutions for prescreening and crew management, social
distancing, and hygiene. We worked with our clients to ensure continuation of work on their
project sites wherever possible and, where temporary onsite workforce reductions were made,
we continued to provide the services and expertise needed.
In our offices, the Company drew on previous investments in technology infrastructure to transition
nearly 1,000 engineers and administrative employees to work remotely while maintaining our
traditional productivity levels. In the process, we created new habits, workflow solutions, and
communication techniques that will make our organization more effective and competitive. Our
demonstrated ability to work remotely both on a full- and part-time basis will set the standard for
our return to an office environment which will also drive out more overhead costs over time.
We are extremely grateful to our employees for continuing to support our customers and their
critical ongoing work at project sites across the country. I could not be prouder of the commitment
they showed, particularly considering the significant challenges we faced as a company. I would
also like to highlight that our employees achieved strong safety performance with a consolidated
TRIR of 0.50 while also implementing and adhering to increased health and safety protocols.
MATRIX ACTED SWIFTLY AND DECISIVELY IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19
In addition to managing the priority of protecting the wellbeing of our employees and
ensuring continuation of essential work wherever possible, our management team
acted quickly to streamline the business and reduce costs. Reduced business volume,
the uncertainty regarding the recovery from COVID-19, and the transformational
changes happening across our markets necessitated a comprehensive review of the
cost structure across the enterprise. The outcome of that review reduced our planned
overhead costs by approximately $45 million or 18 percent through reductions in
force, elimination of planned headcount additions, closure or consolidation of facilities,
organization consolidation, reduction of capital spending and significant reductions of
discretionary spending.
While these reductions were significant and many of them permanent,
we do not believe they impact our capabilities or ability to grow
revenue and execute work. In fact, while we have reduced costs in
many areas, we have increased our investment in other aspects such
as business and corporate development.
We expect these changes will not only help to soften
the impact of the current business environment
but – more importantly – prepare the organization
for growth opportunities in electrical, downstream
markets and renewables, and provide broader
engineering services that will support a better margin
profile for the enterprise in the long run.
Against a market backdrop as bad as we have ever experienced,
we are in a strong position to take advantage of growth opportunities,
expand existing services, and enter new end-markets to meet
the evolving business of energy, electrical and
industrial clients.

STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION AND ROBUST BACKLOG
Matrix Service Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and
liquidity profile, which is a consistent and important part of our long-term
strategy. Notably, we maintain a very low level of debt and intend to continue
to do so. This philosophy was never more important than this year.
With a strong book-to-bill in the storage solutions segment of
1.5 in the fourth quarter as we signed another natural gas
peak shaving terminal project, our backlog of
approximately $760 million at the end of the
fiscal year has not decreased materially
since the end of the prior year, excluding
the impact of our exit from the
iron and steel business.
TODAY’S WORK, TOMORROW’S WORLD
We believe we have an obligation to better the world in which
we live and work – to do today’s work in a manner that advances and
protects tomorrow’s world for future generations. Recognizing the critical
importance of Environmental, Social and Governance to the Company’s
overall performance and strategy, we are committed to ensuring our
business strategies, policies, and practices align with sustainability goals of
our stakeholders and positively impact our communities.
Fundamental to our values, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion took a
heightened position across the Company as we expanded bias training,
provided data transparency, engaged our communities, and set
expectations across the organization. Matrix Service Company and its
employees take seriously our role in our communities to deal with the
social and racial injustices that we believe are embedded in society. We
will do our part as business leaders and community supporters to help
affect positive change.
MOVING FORWARD
Matrix is in a very strong position to weather the continuing disruption
to many of our end-markets, take advantage of growth opportunities,
expand existing services, and enter new end-markets to meet
the evolving business needs of our clients and communities.
Moving forward, we will report our results under three new
operating segments: Utility and Power Infrastructure, Process
and Industrial Facilities, and Storage and Terminal Solutions.
This new reporting segmentation is designed to provide greater
perspective into our clients’ end-markets and the growth
areas where we are strategically focused and to better
represent our long-term vision. The opportunities
across each of these operating
segments is significant.
The Company continues to provide
critical infrastructure solutions to meet our
clients’ existing needs. Specifically, a dramatic
reduction in the use of carbon-based products in
the aftermath of COVID-19 has increased interest in the
development of renewables, low carbon, and clean energy
by some of the world’s largest integrated energy and utility
companies – organizations with whom Matrix has long-standing
relationships and for which we provide critical infrastructure
services for these and other products. We are therefore
increasing resources focused on providing services to the
renewable energy industry, including hydrogen, biofuels,
renewable natural gas, and thermal energy storage.
In closing, I would like to recognize and thank the employees
of Matrix Service Company and our subsidiaries – Matrix PDM
Engineering, Matrix NAC, Matrix Service Inc. and Matrix Applied
Technologies. Their commitment and resolve to fulfilling our
purpose and vision, and to living our core values, is commendable.
I would also like to thank our shareholders, clients, and Board of
Directors for your continued trust, confidence, and support.
Respectfully,
President and Chief Executive Officer
John R. Hewitt

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
PART I
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Annual Report which address activities, events
or developments, which we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking
statements. The words ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘projects,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘predicts’’ and
similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, access our credit facility, or raise cash in order to
meet our short and long-term capital requirements;
the impact to our business of changes in crude oil, natural gas and other commodity prices;
the impact to our business of the COVID-19 pandemic;
amounts and nature of future revenue and margins from each of our segments;
trends in the industries we serve;
the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;
our expectations with respect to the likelihood of a future impairment;
expansion and other trends of the industries we serve; and
our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement.
These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our historical
trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate.
However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations,
including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of this Annual Report and listed from time to time in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission;
economic, market or business conditions in general (including the length and severity of the current
economic slowdown) and in the oil, natural gas, power, agricultural and mining industries in particular;
the transition to renewable energy sources and its impact on our current customer base;
the under- or over-utilization of our work force;
delays in the commencement or progression of major projects, whether due to COVID-19 concerns,
permitting issues or other factors;
reduced creditworthiness of our customer base and the higher risk of non-payment of receivables due to
volatility of crude oil, natural gas, and other commodity prices to which our customers’ businesses are
affected;
the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation;
the adequacy of our reserves for claims and contingencies;
changes in laws or regulations, including the imposition, cancellation or delay of tariffs on imported goods;
and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report are qualified by these cautionary
statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized
2
or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on our business operations.
We assume no obligation to update publicly, except as required by law, any such forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
In fiscal 2020, we operated our business through four reportable segments: Electrical Infrastructure; Oil Gas &
Chemical; Storage Solutions; and Industrial.
The Electrical Infrastructure segment consists of power delivery services provided to investor owned utilities,
including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, short-run transmission line installations,
distribution upgrades and maintenance, as well as emergency and storm restoration services. We also provide
construction and maintenance services to a variety of power generation facilities, such as combined cycle plants and
other natural gas fired power stations.
The Oil Gas & Chemical segment serves customers primarily in the downstream and midstream petroleum industries
who are engaged in refining crude oil and processing, fractionating, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas
3
liquids. We also perform work in the petrochemical, and sulfur extraction, recovery and processing markets. Our
services include plant maintenance, turnarounds, engineering and capital construction. We also offer industrial
cleaning services, including hydro-blasting, hydro-excavating, advanced chemical cleaning and vacuum services.
The Storage Solutions segment consists of work related to aboveground storage tanks (‘‘AST’’) and terminals. Also
included in this segment are cryogenic and other specialty storage tanks and terminals including liquefied natural gas,
liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen, liquid petroleum and other specialty vessels such as spheres as well as marine
structures and truck and rail
loading/offloading facilities. Our services include engineering, fabrication and
construction, and maintenance and repair, which includes planned and emergency services for both tanks and full
terminals. Finally, we offer AST products, including geodesic domes, aluminum internal floating roofs, floating
suction and skimmer systems, roof drain systems and floating roof seals.
The Industrial segment consists of work for various industries, including major mining and minerals companies
engaged primarily in the extraction of non-ferrous metals, aerospace and defense, cement, agriculture, and various
industrial facilities. Our services include engineering, fabrication and construction, and maintenance and repair,
which includes planned and emergency services. We also design instrumentation and control systems and offer
specialized expertise in the design and construction of bulk material handling systems.
Due to changing markets facing our clients and to better align the financial reporting of the Company with our
long-term strategic growth areas, we are changing our reporting segments. Beginning in fiscal 2021, the Company’s
financial results will be reported under the following three segments: Utility and Power Infrastructure; Process and
Industrial Facilities; and Storage and Terminal Solutions. The services provided by each of these segments is
described below.
The Utility and Power Infrastructure segment includes services provided in power delivery and power generation, as
well as natural gas utility peak shaving. This segment is similar to the former Electrical Infrastructure segment
described above, but includes natural gas utility peak shaving facilities that have been historically reported in the
Storage Solutions segment.
The Process and Industrial Facilities segment includes engineering, maintenance, turnarounds and capital projects for
the refining, chemical and petrochemical industries; midstream natural gas processing; other industrial processing
facilities including biofuels, fertilizer, and sulfur; mining and minerals infrastructure; and thermal vacuum chambers.
This segment is similar to the former Oil Gas & Chemical segment described above, but includes mining and
minerals, thermal vacuum chambers, and work in other industrial facilities which were historically reported in the
Industrial segment.
The Storage and Terminal Solutions segment includes engineering, construction, maintenance and repair for
aboveground storage tanks and terminals; LNG facilities for import/export fueling and bunkering; NGL and other
specialty vessels; aboveground storage tank products; and other renewable energy storage and terminal solutions.
This segment is similar to the former Storage Solutions segment described above, but does not include the natural
gas utility peak shaving facilities, which will be reported as part of the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.
OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS
Customers and Marketing
The Company provided services to approximately 500 customers in fiscal 2020. Most of our revenue comes from
long-term customer relationships. None of our customers individually accounted for more than 10% of our
consolidated revenue in fiscal 2020. However, within our operating segments we do have customer concentrations
of varying degrees. See Part II, Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data, Note 13 - Segment Information
for more information about concentration of revenue by segment.
Matrix markets its services and products primarily through its marketing and business development personnel, senior
professional staff and its operating management. We competitively bid most of our projects; however, we have a
number of preferred provider relationships with customers who award us work through long-term agreements. Our
projects have durations ranging from a few days to multiple years.
4
Competition
We compete with local, regional, national and international contractors and service providers. Competitors vary with
the markets we serve with few competitors competing in all of the markets we serve or in all of the services we
provide. Contracts are generally awarded based on price, quality, safety performance, schedule, experience and
customer satisfaction.
Backlog
We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work
that has been awarded to us through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed or other type of assurance that we
consider firm. The following arrangements are considered firm:
•
fixed-price awards;
• minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and
•
certain time and material arrangements in which the estimated value is firm or can be estimated with a
reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.
For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we
include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which
we have received a limited notice to proceed, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that
the likelihood of the full project proceeding as high. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated
contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Industrial cancellations related to the deterioration of our relationship with a key customer in the iron and steel industry and the subsequent
cancellation of work, the cancellation of a coke battery project in Canada, and cancellation of work due to the final wind-down of our
domestic iron and steel maintenance business following our strategic decision to exit the business. Cancellations in the Oil Gas & Chemical
segment consist of turnaround work transferred to a local contractor as a result of COVID-19 precautions.

Calculated by dividing project awards by revenue recognized.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current market uncertainty, our customers have remained cautious
with their spending levels. Therefore, we have seen deferrals in award dates across the business and lengthening
award cycles. In the Oil Gas & Chemical segment, we saw a shift in the timing of turnarounds and lower levels of
maintenance work. The updated start dates on many of the delayed activities is uncertain and will depend on the needs
of our clients, safety guidelines, and the market. See Item 1A, Risk Factors Related to our Business, for more
information about the risks we face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Project awards in all segments are cyclical and are typically the result of a sales process that can take several months
to complete. Backlog volatility may increase for some segments from time to time when individual project awards
are less frequent, but more significant. We expect to recognize approximately 72% of our total backlog reported as
of June 30, 2020 as revenue within fiscal 2021.
Seasonality and Other Factors
Our operating results can exhibit seasonal fluctuations, especially in our Oil Gas & Chemical segment, for a variety
of reasons. Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall
when the demand for energy is lower. Within the Electrical Infrastructure segment, transmission and distribution
5
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, 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 volumes 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 the
Company’s operating results.
Our overhead cost structure is generally fixed. Significant fluctuations in revenue volumes usually leads to over or
under recovery of fixed overhead costs, which can have a material impact on our gross margin and profitability.
Material Sources and Availability
Steel plate and steel pipe are key materials used by the Company. Supplies of these materials are available throughout
the United States and globally from numerous sources. We anticipate that adequate amounts of these materials will
be available in the foreseeable future. However, the price, quantity, and the delivery schedules of these materials
could change rapidly due to various factors, including producer capacity, the level of imports, worldwide demand,
tariffs on imported goods and other market conditions.
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, exposure to potential
losses is retained through the use of deductibles, self-insured retentions and coverage limits.
Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance
of our services and provide warranties for materials. The Company may also be required to name the customer as
an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase special insurance
policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and
financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to
support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the
Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’
work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor
of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work. 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.
Employees
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 2,900 employees of which approximately 850 were employed
in non-field positions and 2,050 were employed in field or shop positions. The number of employees varies
significantly throughout the year because of the number, type and size of projects we have in progress at any
particular time. The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the volume of our work and as a result, the number
of employees is significantly lower than in normal periods where employee counts can range from 4,000 to 5,000.
The Company’s subsidiaries include both merit and union companies. The union businesses operate under collective
bargaining agreements with various unions representing different groups of our employees. Union agreements
provide union employees with benefits including health and welfare, pension, training programs and competitive
compensation plans. We have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages in recent years. We maintain health and
welfare, retirement and training programs for our merit employees and administrative personnel.
Patents and Proprietary Technology
Matrix Service Company’s subsidiaries have several patents and patents pending, and continue to pursue new ideas
and innovations to better serve our customers in several areas of our business. The Flex-A-Span® and Flex-A-Seal®
trademarks are utilized to market the Company’s unique seals for floating roof tanks. The FastFroth® trademark is
6
utilized to market the Company’s unique industrial cleaning process. Our patented RS 1000 Tank Mixer controls
sludge build-up in crude oil tanks through resuspension. The Flexible Fluid Containment System patent covers a
system that captures and contains flue leaking from pipe and valve connections. The Flex-A-Swivel patent refers to
our unique pipe swivel joint assembly. Our patent for Spacerless or Geocomposite Double Bottom for Storage Tanks
relates to a replacement bottom with leak detection and containment that allows for the retrofitting of an existing tank
while minimizing the loss of capacity. The patent for the Training Tank for Personnel Entry, Exit and Rescue relates
to a training device that can be used to train personnel on equipment that is made to simulate confined space
scenarios.
The Company also holds a perpetual license to use various patents and technologies related to LNG storage tanks,
liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen storage tanks, liquid petroleum gas storage tanks and thermal vacuum chambers.
While the Company’s intellectual property is not its main business, we believe that the ability to use these patents
and technology enables us to expand our presence in the markets we serve and minimizes the development costs
typically associated with organic growth.
Regulation
Health and Safety Regulations
Our operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (‘‘OSHA’’) and
Mine Safety and Health Administration (‘‘MSHA’’), the U.S. Department of Transportation, and to regulation under
state laws and by the Canadian Workers’ Compensation Board and its Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation
Commission. Regulations promulgated by these agencies require employers and independent contractors to
implement work practices, medical surveillance systems and personnel protection programs to protect employees
from workplace hazards and exposure to hazardous chemicals and materials. In recognition of the potential for
accidents within various scopes of work, these agencies have enacted strict and comprehensive safety regulations.
The Company has established and consistently reinforces and monitors compliance with comprehensive programs
intended to ensure that it complies with all applicable health and safety regulations to protect the safety of its workers,
subcontractors and customers. While the Company believes that it operates safely and prudently, there can be no
assurance that accidents will not occur or that the Company will not incur substantial liability in connection with the
operation of its businesses. In order to minimize the financial exposure resulting from potential accidents associated
with the Company’s work, the Company maintains liability insurance to limit losses that could result from our work.
Environmental
We believe we have an obligation to better the world in which we live and work – to do today’s work in a manner
that advances and protects tomorrow’s world for future generations. Across our organization, from our project sites
to our offices, the Company is committed to environmental stewardship and to continuously seeking better, more
sustainable ways to perform our work in existing and new markets, including renewables.
The Company’s operations and the operations of its customers are subject to extensive and changing environmental
laws and regulations. These laws and regulations relate primarily to air and water pollutants and the management and
disposal of hazardous materials. The Company is exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage
caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or hazardous materials.
In order to limit costs incurred as a result of environmental exposure, the Company maintains contractor’s pollution
liability insurance that covers liability that may be incurred as a result of accidental releases of hazardous materials.
The Company believes that it is currently in compliance, in all material aspects, with all applicable environmental
laws and regulations. The Company does not expect any material charges in subsequent periods relating to
environmental conditions that currently exist and does not currently foresee any significant future capital spending
relating to environmental matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors should be considered with the other information included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. As we operate in a continuously changing environment, other risk factors may emerge which could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
The recent COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have had, and are expected to continue to
have, a significant impact on our business, and depending on the duration of the pandemic and its effect on the
oil and gas and other industries, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of
operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and
turmoil in the industries we serve. These events have directly affected our business and have exacerbated the potential
negative impact from many of the other risk factors described in this section, including those relating to our
customers’ capital spending and trends in oil and natural gas prices.
Given the nature and significance of the events described above, we are not able to enumerate all potential risks to
our business; however, we believe potential impacts of these recent events include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
potential disruption to our supply chain for raw materials essential to our business;
notices from customers, suppliers and other third parties arguing that their non-performance under our
contracts with them is permitted as a result of force majeure or other reasons;
liquidity challenges, including impacts related to delayed customer payments and payment defaults
associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies;
a need to preserve liquidity, which could result in a delay or change in our capital investment plan;
cybersecurity issues, as digital technologies may become more vulnerable and experience a higher rate of
cyberattacks in the current environment of remote connectivity;
litigation risk and possible loss contingencies related to COVID-19 and its impact, including with respect
to commercial contracts, employee matters and insurance arrangements;
reduction of our workforce to adjust to market conditions, including severance payments, retention issues,
and an inability to hire employees when market conditions improve;
costs associated with rationalization of our portfolio of real estate facilities, including exit of leases and
facility closures to align with expected activity and workforce capacity;
additional asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill or other
intangible assets, along with other accounting charges as demand for our services and products decreases;
infections and quarantining of our employees and the personnel of our customers, suppliers and other third
parties in areas in which we operate;
actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or
treat its effects; and
a structural shift in the global economy as a result of changes in the way people work, travel and interact,
or in connection with a global recession.
Given the dynamic nature of these events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19
pandemic and related market conditions will persist, the full extent of the impact they will have on our business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or the pace or extent of any subsequent recovery.
The confluence of events described above may have a significant impact on our business, and depending on the
duration of the pandemic and its effect on the industries we serve, could have, a material adverse effect on our
business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. For more information, see
‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Results of Operations -
Operational Update.’’

Unsatisfactory safety performance may subject us to penalties, affect customer relationships, result in higher
operating costs, negatively impact employee morale and result in higher employee turnover.
Our projects are conducted at a variety of sites including construction sites and industrial facilities. With each
location, hazards are part of the day to day exposures that we must manage on a continuous basis to ensure our
employees return home from work the same way they arrived. We understand that everyone plays a role with safety
and everyone can make a difference with their active participation. With our proactive approach, our strategy is to
identify the exposures and correct them before they result in an incident whether that involves an injury, damage or
destruction of property, plant and equipment or an environmental impact. We are intensely focused on maintaining
a strong safety culture and strive for zero incidents.
Although we have taken what we believe are appropriate precautions to adequately train and equip our employees,
we have experienced serious accidents, including fatalities, in the past and may experience additional accidents in the
future. Serious accidents may subject us to penalties, civil litigation or criminal prosecution. Claims for damages to
persons, including claims for bodily injury or loss of life, could result in costs and liabilities, which could materially
and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Poor safety performance could also
jeopardize our relationships with our customers and increase our insurance premiums.
Our profitability could be negatively impacted if we are not able to maintain appropriate utilization of our
workforce.
The extent to which we utilize our workforce affects our profitability. If we under utilize our workforce, our project
gross margins and overall profitability suffer in the short-term. If we over utilize our workforce, we may negatively
impact safety, employee satisfaction and project execution, which could result in a decline in future project awards.
The utilization of our workforce is impacted by numerous factors including:
•
•
•
•
•
our estimate of the headcount requirements for various operating units based upon our forecast of the
demand for our products and services;
our ability to maintain our talent base and manage attrition;
productivity;
our ability to schedule our portfolio of projects to efficiently utilize our employees and minimize downtime
between project assignments; and
our need to invest time and resources into functions such as training, business development, employee
recruiting, and sales that are not chargeable to customer projects.
An inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and in particular, engineers, project managers, and skilled
craft workers, could impact our ability to perform on our contracts, which could harm our business and impair
our future revenue and profitability.
Our ability to attract and retain qualified engineers, project managers, skilled craftsmen and other experienced
professionals in accordance with our needs is an important factor in our ability to maintain profitability and grow our
business. The market for these professionals is competitive, particularly during periods of economic growth when the
supply is limited. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to retain or attract
qualified personnel when needed. Therefore, when we anticipate or experience growing demand for our services, we
may incur additional cost to maintain a professional staff in excess of our current contract needs in an effort to have
sufficient qualified personnel available to address this anticipated demand. If we do incur additional compensation
and benefit costs, our customer contracts may not allow us to pass through these costs.
Competent and experienced engineers, project managers, and craft workers are especially critical to the profitable
performance of our contracts, particularly on our fixed-price contracts where superior design and execution of the
project can result in profits greater than originally estimated or where inferior design and project execution can reduce
or eliminate estimated profits or even result in a loss.
9
Our project managers are involved in most aspects of contracting and contract execution including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
supervising the bidding process, including providing estimates of significant cost components, such as
material and equipment needs, and the size, productivity and composition of the workforce;
negotiating contracts;
supervising project performance, including performance by our employees, subcontractors and other
third-party suppliers and vendors;
estimating costs for completion of contracts that is used to estimate amounts that can be reported as revenue
and earnings on the contract under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting;
negotiating requests for change orders and the final terms of approved change orders; and
determining and documenting claims by us for increased costs incurred due to the failure of customers,
subcontractors and other third-party suppliers of equipment and materials to perform on a timely basis and
in accordance with contract terms.
Our results of operations depend upon the award of new contracts and the timing of those awards.
Our revenue is derived primarily from contracts awarded on a project-by-project basis. Generally, it is difficult to
predict whether and when we will be awarded a new contract due to lengthy and complex bidding and selection
processes, changes in existing or forecasted market conditions, customers’ access to financing, governmental
regulations, permitting and environmental matters. Because our revenue are derived from contract awards, our results
of operations and cash flows can fluctuate materially from period to period.
The uncertainty associated with the timing of contract awards may reduce our short-term profitability as we balance our
current capacity with expectations of future contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we
could incur costs to maintain an idle workforce that may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Alternatively, we may decide that our long-term interests are best served by reducing our workforce and incurring increased
costs associated with severance and termination benefits, which also could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations in the period incurred. Reducing our workforce could also impact our results of operations if we are unable to
adequately staff projects that are awarded subsequent to a workforce reduction.
Demand for our products and services is cyclical and is vulnerable to the level of capital and maintenance spending
of our customers and to downturns in the industries and markets we serve, as well as conditions in the general economy.
The demand for our products and services depends upon the existence of construction and maintenance projects
primarily in the midstream and downstream petroleum, power and other heavy industries in the United States and
Canada. Therefore, it is likely that our business will continue to be cyclical in nature and vulnerable to general
downturns in the United States, Canadian and world economies and changes in commodity prices, which could
adversely affect the demand for our products and services.
The availability of engineering and construction projects is dependent upon economic conditions in the oil, gas,
petrochemical, industrial, and power industries, and specifically, the level of capital expenditures on energy
infrastructure. A prolonged period of relatively low commodity prices in North America has had an adverse impact
on the level of capital expenditures of our customers and/or their ability to finance these expenditures. Our failure
to obtain projects, the delay of project awards, the cancellation of projects or delays in the execution of contracts has
resulted and may continue to result in under-utilization of our resources, which could adversely impact our revenue,
margins, operating results and cash flow. There are numerous factors beyond our control that influence the level of
maintenance and capital expenditures of our customers, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
current or projected commodity prices, including oil, gas, power and mineral prices;
refining margins;
the demand for oil, gas and electricity;
the ability of oil, gas, industrial and power companies to generate, access and deploy capital;
exploration, production and transportation costs;
interest rates;
tax incentives, including those for alternative energy projects;
regulatory restraints on the rates that power companies may charge their customers; and
local, national and international political and economic conditions.
10
Our revenue and profitability may be adversely affected by a reduced level of activity in the hydrocarbon industry.
In recent years, demand from the worldwide hydrocarbon industry has been a significant generator of our revenue.
Numerous factors influence capital expenditure decisions in the hydrocarbon industry, including, but not limited to,
the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
current and projected oil and gas prices;
exploration, extraction, production and transportation costs;
refining margins;
the discovery rate, size and location of new oil and gas reserves;
technological challenges and advances;
ability to export hydrocarbon products;
demand for hydrocarbon production;
competition from alternative energy sources, including wind and solar; and
changing taxes, price controls, and laws and regulations.
The aforementioned factors are beyond our control and could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and on our financial position or cash flow.
The volume of storage related projects are influenced by the overall forward market for crude oil, and certain
market conditions may adversely affect financial and operating results.
Our results may be influenced by the overall forward market for crude oil. A ‘‘contango’’ market (meaning that the
price of crude oil for future delivery is higher than the current price) is associated with greater demand for crude oil
storage capacity, because a party can simultaneously purchase crude oil at current prices for storage and sell at higher
prices for future delivery. A ‘‘backwardated’’ market (meaning that the price of crude oil for future delivery is lower
than the current price) is associated with lower demand for crude oil storage capacity, because a party can capture
a premium for prompt delivery of crude oil rather than storing it for future sale. A prolonged backwardated market
or other adverse market conditions could have an adverse impact on demand for new storage related construction.
Finally, higher absolute levels of crude oil prices increase the costs of financing and insuring crude oil in storage,
which negatively affects storage economics. As a result, the overall forward market for crude oil may have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The terms of our contracts could expose us to unforeseen costs and costs not within our control, which may not
be recoverable and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
A significant amount of our work is performed under fixed price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to
perform the contract for a fixed-price and, as a result, can improve our expected profit by superior execution,
productivity, workplace safety and other factors resulting in cost savings. However, we could incur cost overruns
above the approved contract price, which may not be recoverable. Under certain incentive fixed-price contracts, we
may agree to share with a customer a portion of any savings we generate while the customer agrees to bear a portion
of any increased costs we may incur up to a negotiated ceiling. To the extent costs exceed the negotiated ceiling price,
we may be required to absorb some or all of the cost overruns.
Fixed-price contract prices are established based largely upon estimates and assumptions relating to project scope and
specifications, personnel and productivity, material needs, and site conditions. These estimates and assumptions may
prove inaccurate or conditions may change due to factors out of our control, resulting in cost overruns, which we may
be required to absorb and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. In addition, our profits from these contracts could decrease or we could experience losses if we incur
difficulties in performing the contracts or are unable to secure fixed-pricing commitments from our manufacturers,
suppliers and subcontractors at the time we enter into fixed-price contracts with our customers.
Under cost-plus and time-and-material contracts, we perform our services in return for payment of our agreed upon
reimbursable costs plus a profit. The profit component is typically expressed in the contract either as a percentage
of the reimbursable costs we actually incur or is factored into the rates we charge for labor or for the cost of
equipment and materials, if any, we are required to provide. Our profit could be negatively impacted if our actual
costs exceed the estimated costs utilized to establish the billing rates included in the contracts.
11
We may incur significant costs in providing services in excess of original project scope without having an approved
change order.
After commencement of a contract, we may perform, without the benefit of an approved change order from the
customer, additional services requested by the customer that were not contemplated in our contract price for various
reasons, including customer changes or incomplete or inaccurate engineering, changes in project specifications and
other similar information provided to us by the customer. Our construction contracts generally require the customer
to compensate us for additional work or expenses incurred under these circumstances.
A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record in the current period an
adjustment to revenue and profit recognized in prior periods under the percentage-of-completion accounting method.
Any such adjustments, if substantial, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition, particularly for the period in which such adjustments are made. We can provide no assurance that we will
be successful in obtaining, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, approved change orders in an
amount adequate to compensate us for our additional work or expenses.
Our use of percentage-of-completion accounting for fixed-price contracts and our reporting of profits for cost-plus
contracts prior to contract completion could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits.
Our revenue are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under percentage-of-
completion accounting, contract revenue and earnings are recognized ratably over the contract term based on the
proportion of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs. In addition, some contracts contain penalty provisions for
failure to achieve certain milestones, schedules or performance standards. We review our estimates of contract
revenue, costs and profitability on a monthly basis. As a result, we may adjust our estimates on one or more occasions
as a result of changes in cost estimates, change orders to the original contract, or claims against the customer for
increased costs incurred by us due to customer-induced delays and other factors.
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 in the period the loss is determined. Contract profit estimates are also
adjusted, on a percentage of completion basis, in the fiscal period in which it is determined that an adjustment is
required. No restatements are made to prior periods. Further, a number of our contracts contain various cost and
performance incentives and penalties that impact the earnings we realize from our contracts, and adjustments related
to these incentives and penalties are recorded on a percentage of completion basis in the period when estimable and
probable.
As a result of the requirements of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, the possibility exists that we
could have estimated and reported a profit on a contract over several prior periods and later determine, as a result
of additional information, that all or a portion of such previously estimated and reported profits were overstated. If
this occurs, the full aggregate amount of the overstatement will be reported for the period in which such change in
estimate occurs.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements.
To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions, as of the date of the financial statements, which affect the reported values of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant
estimation by our management include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
contract costs and application of percentage-of-completion accounting;
provisions for uncollectible receivables from customers for invoiced amounts;
the amount and collectibility of unpriced change orders and claims against customers;
provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances;
recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets;
valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations; and
accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves.
Our actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
12
Domestic and Foreign trade tariffs could raise the price and reduce the availability of raw materials to us, which
could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
Domestic and foreign trade tariffs could raise the price and reduce the availability of raw materials such as steel plate
and steel pipe, which are key materials used by us. Supplies of these materials are available throughout the United
States and globally from numerous sources. We anticipate that adequate amounts of these materials will be available
in the foreseeable future. However, if trade tariffs should significantly impact the price and availability of these
materials, we could experience lower gross margins, operational inefficiencies and project delays.
We are exposed to credit risk from customers. If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we
could suffer liquidity problems or we could be unable to recover amounts owed to us.
Under the terms of our contracts, at times we commit resources to customer projects prior to receiving payments from
customers in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on these projects as they are incurred. Many of our fixed-price or
cost-plus contracts require us to satisfy specified progress milestones or performance standards in order to receive a
payment. Under these types of arrangements, we may incur significant costs for labor, equipment and supplies prior to
receipt of payment. If the customer fails or refuses to pay us for any reason, there is no assurance we will be able to collect
amounts due to us for costs previously incurred. In some cases, we may find it necessary to terminate subcontracts with
suppliers engaged by us to assist in performing a contract, and we may incur costs or penalties for canceling our
commitments to them. Delays in customer payments require an investment in working capital. If we are unable to collect
amounts owed to us under our contracts, we may be required to record a charge against previously recognized earnings
related to the project, and our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, and unidentified liabilities and risks associated with
entering new markets. We may also be unable to profitably integrate and operate these businesses.
We may lack sufficient management, financial and other resources to successfully integrate future acquisitions, including
acquisitions in markets where we have not previously operated. Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction
expenses, unexpected liabilities and other risks in addition to the integration and consolidation risks.
If we make any future acquisitions, we will likely assume liabilities of the acquired business or have exposure to
contingent liabilities that may not be adequately covered by insurance or indemnification, if any, from the former
owners of the acquired business. These potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions, which could adversely impact our business.
We may not be able to successfully complete our ongoing integration of the operations, personnel and technology from our
acquisitions. Because of their size and complexity, if we fail to complete our integration efforts successfully, we may
experience interruptions in our business activities, a decrease in the quality of our services, a deterioration in our employee
and customer relationships, and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Our integration activities have required significant attention from
management, which potentially decreases the time that management may devote to serve existing customers, attract new
customers and develop new services and strategies. We may also experience difficulties in combining corporate cultures,
maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees. The integration efforts may also impose substantial demands
on our operations or other projects. We will have to actively strive to demonstrate to our existing customers that these
integrations have not resulted in adverse changes in our standards or business focus. Our acquisitions have involved a
significant capital commitment, and the return that we achieve on any capital invested may be less than the return achieved
on our other projects or investments. There will be challenges in consolidating and rationalizing information technology
platforms and administrative infrastructures. In addition, any delays or increased costs of integrating acquired companies
could adversely affect our operations, financial results and liquidity.
We may not realize the growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies that are anticipated from
acquisitions.
The benefits we expect to achieve as a result of an acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the
anticipated growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies. Our success in realizing these growth
opportunities, operating margins and synergies, and the timing of this realization, depends on the successful
integration of the acquired business and operations with our existing business and operations. Even if we are able to
integrate existing and acquired businesses successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full
benefits of the growth opportunities, operating margins and synergies we currently expect within the anticipated time
frame or at all. Accordingly, the benefits from an acquisition may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating
the companies, which could cause our revenue assumptions and operating margin to be inaccurate.
13
We may need to raise additional capital in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and/or acquisitions,
and we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all, which would impair our ability to operate our business
or achieve our strategic plan.
To the extent that cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under our senior secured revolving
credit facility, are insufficient to make future investments, acquisitions or provide needed working capital, we may
require additional financing from other sources. Our ability to obtain such additional financing in the future will
depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as conditions in our business and our operating
results; and those factors may affect our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to us.
If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to make future
investments, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities, or respond to competitive challenges.
We face substantial competition in each of our business segments, which may have a material adverse effect on
our business.
We face competition in all areas of our business from regional, national and international competitors. Our
competitors range from small, family-owned businesses to well-established, well-financed entities, both privately and
publicly held, including many large engineering and construction companies and specialty contractors. We compete
primarily on the basis of price, customer satisfaction, safety performance and programs, quality of our products and
services, and schedule. As a result, an increase in the level of competition in one or more markets may result in lower
operating margins than we have recently experienced.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected fluctuations, adjustments and cancellations and does not include the full value
of our long-term maintenance contracts, and therefore, may not be a reliable indicator of our future earnings.
Backlog may not be a reliable indicator of our future performance. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected
in our backlog will be realized or profitable. Projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. In
addition, project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur from time to time with respect to contracts included
in our backlog that could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn.
Many of our contracts have termination rights. Therefore, project adjustments may occur from time to time to
contracts in our backlog.
The loss of one or more of our significant customers could adversely affect us.
One or more customers have in the past and may in the future contribute a material portion of our revenue in any one year.
Because these significant customers generally contract with us for specific projects or for specific periods of time, we may
lose these customers from year to year as the projects or maintenance contracts are completed. The loss of business from
any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
Future events, including those associated with our strategic plan, could negatively affect our liquidity position.
We can provide no assurance that we will have sufficient earnings from operations or the credit capacity to meet all
of our future cash needs should we encounter significant working capital requirements or incur significant acquisition
costs. Insufficient earnings from operations, significant working capital requirements, and contract disputes have in
the past, and could in the future, reduce availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
Our business may be affected by difficult work sites and environments, which may adversely affect our overall business.
We perform our work under a variety of conditions, including, but not limited to, difficult terrain, difficult site
conditions and busy urban centers where delivery of materials and availability of labor may be impacted. Performing
work under these conditions can slow our progress, potentially causing us to incur contractual liability to our
customers. These difficult conditions may also cause us to incur additional, unanticipated costs that we might not be
able to pass on to our customers.
We are susceptible to severe weather conditions as a result of climate change or otherwise, which may harm our
business and financial results.
Our business may be adversely affected by severe weather in areas where we have significant operations.
Repercussions of severe weather conditions may include:
•
•
curtailment of services;
suspension of operations;
14
•
•
•
•
•
•
inability to meet performance schedules in accordance with contracts and potential liability for liquidated
damages;
injuries or fatalities;
weather related damage to our facilities;
disruption of information systems;
inability to receive machinery, equipment and materials at jobsites; and
loss of productivity.
The frequency and severity of severe weather conditions may be enhanced by present and future changes to our
climate.
Our senior secured revolving credit facility imposes restrictions that may limit business alternatives.
Our senior secured revolving credit facility contains covenants that restrict or limit our ability to incur additional debt,
acquire or dispose of assets, repurchase equity, or make certain distributions, including dividends. In addition, our
senior secured revolving credit facility requires that we comply with a number of financial covenants. These
covenants and restrictions may impact our ability to effectively execute operating and strategic plans and our
operating performance may not be sufficient to comply with the required covenants. Additionally, availability under
the credit facility is dependent upon profitable operating results. If results deteriorate, availability under the credit
facility is reduced.
Our failure to comply with one or more of the covenants in our senior secured revolving credit facility could result
in an event of default. We can provide no assurance that a default could be remedied, or that our creditors would grant
a waiver or amend the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facility. If an event of default occurs, our lenders
could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable, terminate all
commitments, refuse to extend further credit, and require us to provide cash to collateralize any outstanding letters
of credit. If an event of default occurs and the lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility accelerate
the maturity of any loans or other debt outstanding, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay amounts outstanding
under the existing agreement.
We contribute to multiemployer plans that could result in liabilities to us if those plans are terminated or if we
withdraw from those plans.
We contribute to several multiemployer pension plans for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements.
These plans are not administered by us and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated
labor contracts. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension
Plan Amendments Act of 1980, imposes certain liabilities upon employers who are contributors to a multiemployer
plan in the event of the employer’s withdrawal from, or upon termination of, such plan. If we terminate or withdraw
from a multiemployer pension plan, we could be required to make significant cash contributions to fund that plan’s
unfunded vested benefit, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations; however, we are not currently able to determine the net assets and actuarial present value of the
multiemployer pension plans’ unfunded vested benefits allocable to us, if any, and we are not presently aware of the
amounts, if any, for which we may be contingently liable if we were to withdraw from any of these plans. In addition,
if the funding level of any of these multiemployer plans becomes classified as ‘‘critical status’’ under the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, we could be required to make significant additional contributions to those plans.
Earnings for future periods may be affected by impairment charges.
Because we have grown in part through acquisitions, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets represent a
substantial portion of our assets. We perform annual goodwill impairment reviews in the fourth quarter of every fiscal
year. In addition, we perform an impairment review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value of goodwill or an intangible or fixed asset may not be recoverable. In fiscal 2020, we had $40.0 million
of goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, of which $1.5 million was reported as restructuring costs. As of
June 30, 2020, we had $8.8 million of amortizing intangible assets and $60.4 million of non-amortizing goodwill
representing 1.7% and 11.7% of our total assets, respectively.
15
We are involved, and are likely to continue to be involved in legal proceedings, which will increase our costs and,
if adversely determined, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows
and liquidity.
We are currently a defendant in legal proceedings arising from the operation of our business, and it is reasonable to expect
that we would be named in future actions. Many of the actions against us arise out of the normal course of performing
services on project sites, and include workers’ compensation claims, personal injury claims and contract disputes with our
customers. From time to time, we are also named as a defendant for actions involving the violation of federal and state
labor laws related to employment practices, wages and benefits. We may also be a plaintiff in legal proceedings against
customers seeking to recover payment of contractual amounts due to us as well as claims for increased costs incurred by
us resulting from, among other things, services performed by us at the request of a customer that are in excess of original
project scope that are later disputed by the customer and customer-caused delays in our contract performance.
We maintain insurance against operating hazards in amounts that we believe are customary in our industry. However,
our insurance policies include deductibles and certain coverage exclusions, so we cannot provide assurance that we
are adequately insured against all of the risks associated with the conduct of our business. A successful claim brought
against us in excess of, or outside of, our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.
Litigation, regardless of its outcome, is expensive, typically diverts the efforts of our management away from operations
for varying periods of time, and can disrupt or otherwise adversely impact our relationships with current or potential
customers, subcontractors and suppliers. Payment and claim disputes with customers may also cause us to incur increased
interest costs resulting from incurring indebtedness under our revolving line of credit or receiving less interest income
resulting from fewer funds invested due to the failure to receive payment for disputed claims and accounts.
Our projects expose us to potential professional liability, product liability, pollution liability, warranty and other
claims, which could be expensive, damage our reputation and harm our business. We may not be able to obtain
or maintain adequate insurance to cover these claims.
We perform construction and maintenance services at large industrial facilities where accidents or system failures can be
disastrous and costly. Any catastrophic occurrence in excess of our insurance limits at locations engineered or constructed
by us or where our products are installed or services performed could result in significant professional liability, product
liability, warranty and other claims against us by our customers, including claims for cost overruns and the failure of the
project to meet contractually specified milestones or performance standards. Further, the rendering of our services on these
projects could expose us to risks and claims by third parties and governmental agencies for personal injuries, property
damage and environmental matters, among others. Any claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in
substantial costs, divert management’s attention and create negative publicity, particularly for claims relating to
environmental matters where the amount of the claim could be extremely large. We may not be able to or may choose not
to obtain or maintain insurance coverage for the types of claims described above. If we are unable to obtain insurance at
an acceptable cost or otherwise protect against the claims described above, we will be exposed to significant liabilities,
which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Employee, subcontractor or partner misconduct or our overall failure to comply with laws or regulations could
harm our reputation, damage our relationships with customers, reduce our revenue and profits, and subject us to
criminal and civil enforcement actions.
Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by one of our
employees, subcontractors or partners could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such
misconduct could include the failure to comply with safety standards, laws and regulations, customer requirements,
regulations pertaining to the internal controls over financial reporting, environmental laws and any other applicable
laws or regulations. The precautions we take to prevent and detect these activities may not be effective, since our
internal controls are subject to inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be
circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud.
Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to fines and
penalties, harm our reputation, damage our relationships with customers, reduce our revenue and profits and subject
us to criminal and civil enforcement actions.
16
Environmental factors and changes in laws and regulations could increase our costs and liabilities.
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations, including those concerning emissions into the air;
discharges into waterways; generation, storage, handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous material and wastes;
and health and safety.
Our projects often involve highly regulated materials,
laws and
regulations generally impose limitations and standards for regulated materials and require us to obtain permits and
comply with various other requirements. The improper characterization, handling, or disposal of regulated materials
or any other failure by us to comply with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations or associated
environmental permits could subject us to the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the
imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, or the issuance of injunctions that could restrict or prevent our
ability to operate our business and complete contracted projects.
including hazardous wastes. Environmental
In addition, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
(‘‘CERCLA’’), and comparable state and foreign laws, we may be required to investigate and remediate regulated
materials. CERCLA and the comparable state laws typically impose liability without regard to whether a company
knew of or caused the release, and liability for the entire cost of clean-up can be imposed upon any responsible party.
We are subject to numerous other laws and regulations including those related to business registrations and licenses,
environment, workplace, employment, health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently
and could become more stringent in the future. It is impossible to predict the effect on us of any future changes to
these laws and regulations. We can provide no absolute assurance that our operations will continue to comply with
future laws and regulations or that the costs to comply with these laws and regulations and/or a failure to comply with
these laws will not significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of ‘‘greenhouse gases’’ could result in reduced
demand for our services and products.
There has been an increased focus in the last several years on climate change in response to findings that emissions
of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment
to public health and the
environment. As a result, there have been a variety of regulatory developments, proposals or requirements and
legislative initiatives that have been introduced in the U.S. (and other parts of the world) that are focused on
restricting the emission of greenhouse gases. The adoption of new or more stringent legislation or regulatory
programs limiting greenhouse gas emissions from customers for whom we provide services could affect demand for
our products and services. Further, some scientists have concluded that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in
the atmosphere may produce physical effects, such as increased severity and frequency of storms, droughts, floods
and other climate events. Such climate events have the potential to adversely affect our operations or those of our
customers, which in turn could have a negative effect on us.
A failure or outage in our operational systems or cyber security attacks on any of our systems, or those of third
parties, may adversely affect our financial results.
We have become more reliant on technology to help increase efficiency in our business. We use numerous technologies
to help run our operations, and this may subject our business to increased risks. Any cyber security attack that affects our
facilities, our systems, our customers and any of our financial data could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In addition, a cyber-attack on our customer and employee data may result in a financial loss, including potential fines for
failure to safeguard data, and may negatively impact our reputation. Third-party systems on which we rely could also suffer
system failure. Any of these occurrences could disrupt our business, result in potential liability or reputational damage or
otherwise have an adverse effect on our financial results.
We have experienced cybersecurity threats to our information technology infrastructure and have experienced
cyber-attacks, attempts to breach our systems and other similar incidents. Such prior events have not had a material
impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, future threats could cause harm to our
business and our reputation, as well as negatively impact our results of operations materially. Our insurance coverage
may not be adequate to cover all the costs related to cyber-attacks or disruptions resulting from such events.
Any security breach resulting in the unauthorized use or disclosure of certain personal information could put individuals
at risk of identity theft and financial or other harm and result in costs to the Company in investigation, remediation, legal
defense and in liability to parties who are financially harmed. We may incur significant costs to protect against the threat
17
of information security breaches or to respond to or alleviate problems caused by such breaches. For example, laws may
require notification to regulators, clients or employees and enlisting credit monitoring or identity theft protection in the
event of a privacy breach. A cybersecurity attack could also be directed at our systems and result in interruptions in our
operations or delivery of services to our clients and their customers. Furthermore, a material security breach could cause
us to lose revenue, lose clients or cause damage to our reputation.
To reduce organizational risk from cybersecurity threats, the Company has undertaken several initiatives in recent
years. We strengthened our identity and access management capabilities by requiring multi-factor authentication,
increased the threat detection efficiencies within our security information and event management capacity, and
completed projects designed to reduce our organization’s external attack surface. In addition, in the area of security
awareness and training, we have updated our foundational curriculum, established mandatory recurring training
requirements, and commenced periodic phishing campaign assessments.
We rely on internally and externally developed software applications and systems to support critical functions
including project management, estimating, scheduling, human resources, accounting, and financial reporting.
Any sudden loss, disruption or unexpected costs to maintain these systems could significantly increase our
operational expense as well as disrupt the management of our business operations.
We rely on various software systems to conduct our critical operating and administrative functions. We depend on our
software vendors to provide long-term software maintenance support for our information systems. Software vendors may
decide to discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our information
systems, in which case we may need to abandon one or more of our current information systems and migrate some or all
of our project management, human resources, estimating, scheduling, accounting and financial information to other
systems, thus increasing our operational expense as well as disrupting the management of our business operations.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide
anti-bribery laws.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies
and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials or others for the purpose of obtaining or retaining
business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in parts of the world that have
experienced corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict
with local customs and practices. We train our personnel concerning anti-bribery laws and issues, and we also inform our
customers, vendors, and others who work for us or on our behalf that they must comply with anti-bribery law requirements.
We also have procedures and controls in place to monitor compliance. We cannot assure that our internal controls and
procedures always will protect us from the possible reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. If we
are found to be liable for anti-bribery law violations (either due to our own acts or our inadvertence, or due to the acts or
inadvertence of others including our partners, agents, subcontractors or suppliers), we could suffer from criminal or civil
penalties or other sanctions, including contract cancellations or debarment, and loss of reputation, any of which could have
a material adverse effect on our business. Litigation or investigations relating to alleged or suspected violations of
anti-bribery laws, even if ultimately such litigation or investigations demonstrate that we did not violate anti-bribery laws,
could be costly and could divert management’s attention away from other aspects of our business.
Economic, political and other risks associated with international operations could adversely affect our business.
A portion of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and accordingly, our business is subject to risks
associated with doing business internationally, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, instability in
political or economic conditions, difficulty in repatriating cash proceeds, differing employee relations, differing
regulatory environments, trade protection measures, and difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies
which may be different than the normal business practices of local cultures.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, has experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations. These fluctuations could continue in the future, and our stockholders may not be able to
resell their shares of common stock at or above the purchase price paid.
The market price of our common stock may change significantly in response to various factors and events beyond
our control, including the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the risk factors described in this Item 1A;
general conditions in our customers’ industries;
general conditions in the security markets;
the significant concentration of ownership of our common stock in the hands of a small number of
institutional investors;
a shortfall in operating revenue or net income from that expected by securities analysts and investors; and
changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance or the financial performance of our
competitors or companies in our industry.
Some companies that have volatile market prices for their securities have been subject to security class action suits
filed against them. If a suit were to be filed against us, regardless of the outcome, it could result in substantial costs
and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. This could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise, either by us, a member
of management or a major stockholder, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of
our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
We may issue additional equity securities, which could lead to dilution of our issued and outstanding stock.
The issuance of additional common stock, restricted stock units or securities convertible into our common stock could
result in dilution of the ownership interest held by existing stockholders. We are authorized to issue, without
stockholder approval 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more series, which may
give other stockholders dividend, conversion, voting, and liquidation rights, among other rights, which may be
superior to the rights of holders of our common stock. In addition, we are authorized to issue, without stockholder
approval, a significant number of additional shares of our common stock and securities convertible into either
common stock or preferred stock.
Shareholder activists could cause a disruption to our business.
An activist investor may indicate disagreement with our strategic direction or capital allocation policies and may seek
representation on our Board of Directors. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely
affected and may result in, among other things:
•
•
•
increased operating costs, including increased legal expenses, insurance, administrative expenses and
associated costs incurred in connection with director election contests;
uncertainties as to our future direction, which could result in the loss of potential business opportunities and
could make it more difficult to attract, retain, or motivate qualified personnel, and strain relationships with
investors and customers; and
reduction or delay in our ability to effectively execute our current business strategy and to implement new
strategies.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
We are a party to a number of legal proceedings. We believe that the nature and number of these proceedings are
typical for a company of our size engaged in our type of business and that none of these proceedings will result in
a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or liquidity.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) requires
domestic mine operators to disclose violations and orders issued under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977 (the ‘‘Mine Act’’) by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. We do not act as owner of any mines,
but as a result of our performing services or construction at mine sites as an independent contractor, we may be
considered an ‘‘operator’’ within the meaning of the Mine Act.
Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required to be disclosed in this annual
report under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities
Market Information
Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the trading symbol ‘‘MTRX’’. Substantially
all of our stockholders maintain their shares in ‘‘street name’’ accounts and are not individually stockholders of
record. As of July 31, 2020, there were 19 holders of record of our common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement (see Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 5 - Debt for more information about our Credit Agreement) limit
the amount of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay cash dividends on
our capital stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other cash dividends paid during
such fiscal year, does not exceed 50% of our cumulative net income for such fiscal year to date. While we currently
do not intend to pay cash dividends, any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital
requirements and earnings as well as other relevant factors.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our Credit Agreement limits the Company’s purchases of its equity securities to $30.0 million in any calendar year.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (‘‘GAAP’’). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules
and requirements, the application of which requires management judgments and estimates including, in certain
circumstances, choices between acceptable GAAP alternatives. The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contains a comprehensive summary of our significant
accounting policies. The following is a discussion of our most critical accounting policies, estimates, judgments and
uncertainties that are inherent in our application of GAAP.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 commonly are fixed price contracts and are billed based on
project milestones. Our repair and maintenance services typically are cost reimbursable or time and material 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 be in excess of 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 collectibility is probable. We also evaluate
whether a contract should be combined with other contracts and accounted for as one 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.
25
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. The Company does 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 Financial Statements.
26
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.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenue for unpriced change
orders and claims of $14.5 million at June 30, 2020 and $10.1 million at June 30, 2019. The amounts ultimately
realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.
Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is expected within twelve months.
However, customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, and accordingly, collection
of these amounts may extend beyond one year.
Loss Contingencies
Various legal actions, claims, and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are
recorded in the 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.
Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not
amortized and 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 in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or in between annual tests whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, 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 carrying values of our reporting units to our market capitalization.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company concluded that a goodwill impairment indicator existed in the
Electrical Infrastructure segment based on the recent history of depressed gross margins and the second quarter’s
27
downward acceleration of revenue and gross margin. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim impairment
test as of December 31, 2019, reflecting updated revenue and gross margin assumptions, and concluded that the
reporting unit’s $24.9 million of goodwill was fully impaired. Additionally, the Company concluded that a goodwill
impairment indicator existed for an Industrial segment reporting unit based on several second quarter events. These
events included the deterioration of our relationship with a significant customer in the iron and steel industry in the
second quarter. As a result, the customer canceled other previously awarded work and the Company is expecting little
to no new business from this customer in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim
impairment test as of December 31, 2019 and concluded that the reporting unit’s $8.0 million of goodwill was fully
impaired.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company concluded that goodwill impairment indicators existed based
on the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in the price of crude oil. These
uncertainties resulted in lowered revenue expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 and led to
significant volatility in the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim test as of
March 31, 2020, which did not result in any additional impairments.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2020, which resulted in no impairment.
The fiscal 2020 test indicated that three reporting units with a combined total of $14.2 million of goodwill as of
June 30, 2020 were at higher risk of future impairment than others. If the Company’s view of project opportunities
or gross margins deteriorates, particularly for the higher risk reporting units, then the Company may be required to
record a material impairment of goodwill.
We considered the amount of headroom for each reporting unit when determining whether an impairment existed.
The amount of headroom varies by reporting unit. Our significant assumptions, including revenue growth rates, gross
margins, discount rate and other factors may change in the future based on the changing economic and competitive
environment in which we operate. Assuming that all other components of our fair value estimate remain unchanged,
a change in the following assumptions would have the following effect on headroom:

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. Company management believes 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.
Leases
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology
equipment in the normal course of business. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at
inception of the arrangement. An arrangement is determined to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use
of identified property and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use
assets are recognized as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date,
28
plus any lease payments made prior to commencement, and less any lease incentives received. Operating lease
liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term as of the
commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized based on the undiscounted future lease payments over
the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense related to short-term leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Determinations with respect to lease term (including any renewals and terminations), incremental borrowing rate
used to discount lease payments, variable lease expense and future lease payments require the use of judgment based
on the facts and circumstances related to each lease. The Company considers various factors, including economic
incentives, intent, past history and business need, to determine the likelihood that a renewal option will be exercised.
Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for impairment of long-lived assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
On June 16, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, which will change how
the Company accounts for its allowance for uncollectible accounts. The amendments in this update require a financial
asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement
will reflect any increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The
measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical
experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported
amount.
Previous GAAP delays the recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The
amendments in this update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect the Company’s
current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, current guidance limits the information the Company may
consider in measuring a credit loss to its past events and current conditions. The amendments in this update broaden
the information the Company may consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate to include forecasted
information.
The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2020 with no material impact to its estimate of the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.
Results of Operations
Overview
In fiscal 2020, we operated our business through four reportable segments: Electrical Infrastructure; Oil Gas &
Chemical; Storage Solutions; and Industrial.
The Electrical Infrastructure segment consists of power delivery services provided to investor owned utilities,
including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, short-run transmission line installations,
distribution upgrades and maintenance, as well as emergency and storm restoration services. We also provide
construction and maintenance services to a variety of power generation facilities, such as combined cycle plants and
other natural gas fired power stations.
The Oil Gas & Chemical segment serves customers primarily in the downstream and midstream petroleum industries
who are engaged in refining crude oil and processing, fractionating, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas
liquids. We also perform work in the petrochemical, and sulfur extraction, recovery and processing markets. Our
services include plant maintenance, turnarounds, engineering and capital construction. We also offer industrial
cleaning services, including hydro-blasting, hydro-excavating, advanced chemical cleaning and vacuum services.
The Storage Solutions segment consists of work related to aboveground storage tanks (‘‘AST’’) and terminals. Also
included in this segment are cryogenic and other specialty storage tanks and terminals including liquefied natural gas,
liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen, liquid petroleum and other specialty vessels such as spheres as well as marine
loading/offloading facilities. Our services include engineering, fabrication and
structures and truck and rail
construction, and maintenance and repair, which includes planned and emergency services for both tanks and full
terminals. Finally, we offer AST products, including geodesic domes, aluminum internal floating roofs, floating
suction and skimmer systems, roof drain systems and floating roof seals.
29
The Process and Industrial Facilities segment includes engineering, maintenance, turnarounds and capital projects for
the refining, chemical and petrochemical industries; midstream natural gas processing; other industrial processing
facilities including biofuels, fertilizer, and sulfur; mining and minerals infrastructure; and thermal vacuum chambers.
This segment is similar to the former Oil Gas & Chemical segment described above, but includes mining and
minerals, thermal vacuum chambers, and work in other industrial facilities which were historically reported in the
Industrial segment.
Due to changing markets facing our clients and to better align the financial reporting of the Company with our
long-term strategic growth areas, we are changing our reporting segments. Beginning in fiscal 2021, the Company’s
financial results will be reported under the following three segments: Utility and Power Infrastructure; Process and
Industrial Facilities; and Storage and Terminal Solutions. The services provided by each of these segments is
described below.
The Utility and Power Infrastructure segment includes services provided in power delivery and power generation, as
well as natural gas utility peak shaving. This segment is similar to the former Electrical Infrastructure segment
described above, but includes natural gas utility peak shaving facilities that have been historically reported in the
Storage Solutions segment.
The Process and Industrial Facilities segment includes engineering, maintenance, turnarounds and capital projects for
the refining, chemical and petrochemical industries; midstream natural gas processing; other industrial processing
facilities including biofuels, fertilizer, and sulfur; mining and minerals infrastructure; and thermal vacuum chambers.
This segment is similar to the former Oil Gas & Chemical segment described above, but includes mining and
minerals as well as thermal vacuum chambers, which were historically reported in the Industrial segment.
The Storage and Terminal Solutions segment includes engineering, construction, maintenance and repair for
aboveground storage tanks and terminals; LNG facilities for import/export fueling and bunkering; NGL and other
specialty vessels; aboveground storage tank products; and other renewable energy storage and terminal solutions.
This segment is similar to the former Storage Solutions segment described above, but does not include the natural
gas utility peak shaving facilities, which will be reported as part of the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.
The majority of the work for all segments is performed in the United States, with 7.3% of revenue generated
internationally during fiscal 2020, 3.4% in fiscal 2019 and 10.1% in fiscal 2018. The percentage of revenue generated
internationally increased in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 due to higher levels of work in Canada. The
percentage of revenue generated internationally decreased in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 due to the
completion of a significant Canadian power generation project in our Electrical Infrastructure segment in fiscal 2018.
Significant period to period changes in revenue, gross profits and operating results between fiscal 2020 and fiscal
2019 are discussed below on a consolidated basis and for each segment. A discussion of results of operations changes
between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 is included in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, which
was filed with the SEC on September 4, 2019.

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, the Company’s top priority has been to maintain a safe working environment
for all employees, customers and business partners. We transitioned the majority of our administrative and
engineering team members to remote working conditions in March 2020. At this time, we have returned to the office
in select locations where predetermined criteria have been met, but the majority of our administrative and engineering
team members continue to work remotely. Our project teams in coordination with our clients created work processes
to integrate the guidance from governmental agencies and leading health organizations to protect the health and safety
of everyone on our job sites while maintaining productivity.
There continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the near- and intermediate-term economic impacts from the
COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the markets we serve. As a result, the Company expanded its previously
announced business improvement plan, which consisted of discretionary cost reductions, workforce reductions and
closures of certain offices in order to increase the utilization of the Company’s staff and bring the cost structure of
the business in line with our revenue expectations.
The Company’s previously announced business improvement plan was in response to underperformance in the
Company’s Electrical Infrastructure segment, which led to a $24.9 million impairment of goodwill during the second
quarter of fiscal 2020. In addition, the Company recorded $13.6 million of goodwill and other intangible asset
impairments during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 in connection with the deterioration of our relationship with a
significant customer in the iron and steel industry. The Company made a strategic decision to exit the domestic iron
and steel business early in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which resulted in incurring restructuring costs to exit the
business. Finally, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company placed a $2.4 million valuation allowance on a
deferred tax asset that was created by net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits in Canada, which was
determined to be unrecoverable.
The Company incurred $14.0 million of restructuring costs in fiscal 2020 in connection with its business
improvement plan, other restructuring activities, and the wind down of the domestic iron and steel business. These
initiatives were substantially completed as of June 30, 2020. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to save
approximately $45 million in planned annual operating costs.

In order to more clearly depict the core profitability of the Company, the following table presents our net income and
earnings per fully diluted share for fiscal 2020 after adjusting for restructuring costs, impairments, and the Canadian
tax valuation allowance:

This table presents non-GAAP financial measures of our adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per common share for fiscal
2020. The most directly comparable financial measures are net loss and net loss per common share, respectively, presented in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. We have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they more clearly depict
the core operating results of the Company during the period presented and provide a more comparable measure of the Company’s operating
results to other companies considered to be in similar businesses. Since adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per common 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.
Fiscal 2020 Versus Fiscal 2019
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $1.101 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.417 billion in fiscal
2019. On a segment basis, consolidated revenue decreased in the Industrial, Oil Gas & Chemical, and Electrical
Infrastructure segments by $129.6 million, $118.9 million and $104.5 million, respectively. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in the Storage Solutions segment of $37.3 million.
Consolidated gross profit was $102.2 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $132.0 million in fiscal 2019. Gross margin
was 9.3% in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. Gross margins in fiscal 2020 are the result of strong project execution, offset
by the under recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower than anticipated revenue volumes, particularly in
the fourth quarter. Fiscal 2019 was positively impacted by higher revenue volumes, which led to an over recovery
of construction overhead costs.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $86.3 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $94.0 million in fiscal 2019. The
decrease in fiscal 2020 was primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation due to weaker operating results
in the current year.and savings from executing the previously announced business improvement plan.
The Company recorded non-cash goodwill and other intangible asset impairments of $38.5 million during the second
quarter of fiscal 2020. See Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill and other intangible assets for more
information about the impairments. In addition, the Company recorded $14.0 million of restructuring costs in the
third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020 due to actions taken under our business improvement plan. See Operational
Update in this Results of Operations section and Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 14 - Restructuring Costs, for
more information.
Interest expense was $1.6 million in fiscal 2020 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2019. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to a higher average debt balance during fiscal 2020, partially offset by lower interest rates in fiscal
2020. Interest income was $1.3 million during fiscal 2020 compared to $1.2 million in fiscal 2019 due to an increase
in our average cash balance during fiscal 2020, partially offset by lower interest rates in fiscal 2020.
32
Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2020 was 9.7% compared to 27.2% in fiscal 2019. The tax benefit for fiscal 2020 was
negatively impacted by a $3.1 million of valuation allowances placed on deferred tax assets that were created by net
operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits primarily in Canada, the non-deductible portion of the goodwill
impairments that would have resulted in a $1.8 million reduction of income tax expense, and $1.7 million of other
non-deductible expenses. These negative impacts were partially offset by $1.8 million of research and development
and other tax credits. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2019 was negatively impacted by $4.5 million of valuation
allowances placed on net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits generated by our branch operations in
Canada, and $1.2 million of non-deductible expenses. These negative impacts were largely offset by the reversal of
$3.5 million of branch liabilities associated with the valuation allowances placed on our Canadian branch net
operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits, $2.0 million of research and development and other tax credits
and $0.3 million of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of stock-based compensation. A full analysis of the
Company’s provision for income taxes is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6
- Income Taxes.
In fiscal 2020, net loss was $33.1 million, or $1.24 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $28.0 million,
or $1.01 per fully diluted share, in fiscal 2019.
Electrical Infrastructure
Revenue for the Electrical Infrastructure segment decreased $104.5 million to $112.9 million in fiscal 2020 compared
to $217.4 million in fiscal 2019. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes of power delivery and power
generation work. The segment gross margin (loss) was (1.0)% in fiscal 2020 compared to 7.1% in the same period
last year. The fiscal 2020 segment gross loss was negatively impacted by poor execution in the first and second
quarters and lower volumes throughout the year, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. The
segment gross margin in fiscal 2019 was negatively impacted by lower than previously forecasted margins on a
limited number of power delivery projects. In fiscal 2019, we expanded our power delivery business geographically,
however, the margins on this work did not meet our expectations. The fiscal 2019 segment margin was also negatively
impacted when the proceeds from the settlement of a customer dispute were less than previously anticipated. The
negative impacts to the fiscal 2019 segment gross margin were partially offset by strong project execution on power
generation package work.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company announced a business improvement plan for this segment. The plan
included significant changes to the operations and management of the business, including changes to leadership and
mid-level operational personnel, modifications to operational processes, and increased business development
resources. During the second half of fiscal 2020, we implemented the planned personnel changes, added business
development resources and strengthened business processes, which has led to improved project execution. However,
it is still too early to assess the long-term effectiveness of the business improvement plan. Furthermore, an
improvement in the operating performance of this segment will be dependent upon the effectiveness and execution
of the improvement plan, the markets we serve, the spending volumes of our existing clients and other external
factors.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced suspensions of work at certain job sites and client
proposal activity has slowed as customers manage other pandemic-related challenges. We will continue to assess
conditions in the areas we serve and resume normal operations based on the needs of our clients and safety guidelines
to ensure the protection of our employees and customers.
Oil Gas & Chemical
Revenue for the Oil Gas & Chemical segment was $201.0 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $319.9 million in the
same period a year earlier. The decrease of $118.9 million is primarily due to lower volumes of turnaround and
refinery maintenance work. The segment gross margin was 7.9% in fiscal 2020 compared to 11.3% in the same period
last year. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by lower volumes, which led to the under
recovery of construction overhead costs, partially offset by strong project execution. Project execution was strong in
fiscal 2019 and higher volumes led to an over recovery of construction overhead costs.
The short-term impact to the Company’s refinery turnaround and maintenance operations as a result of the global
pandemic has been significant. The impact has been exacerbated by the timing of the onset of the pandemic during
33
what is normally a busy spring turnaround season. Although there have been project delays and temporary
suspensions of planned seasonal work, in most cases the revenue volumes are moving out in time, but not eliminated.
The updated start dates on many of the delayed activities are uncertain and will depend on the needs of our clients,
safety guidelines, and the market.
Storage Solutions
Revenue for the Storage Solutions segment was $559.2 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $521.9 million in fiscal
2019, an increase of $37.3 million. The increase in segment revenue is primarily a result of increased tank and
terminal construction work and higher levels of work in Canada. The segment gross margin was 12.9% in fiscal 2020
compared to 10.7% in fiscal 2019. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was positively impacted by strong project
execution on large capital projects. During the first half of fiscal 2019, the segment gross margin was negatively
impacted by the wind down of lower margin work awarded in a highly competitive environment and lower than
previously forecasted margins on a limited number of those projects.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, global energy demand, and regulatory issues, we experienced short-term
suspensions of work on a limited number of projects, but work on most of these projects has resumed. In addition,
some project awards and starts were delayed for durations varying from a few weeks to a few quarters.
Industrial
Revenue for the Industrial segment was $227.9 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $357.5 million in fiscal 2019, a
decrease of $129.6 million. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to our strategic decision to exit the
domestic iron and steel industry early in the third quarter, and lower volumes of thermal vacuum chamber work. We
no longer have a continuous presence in any domestic iron and steel facility and final wind-down of the business is
substantially complete. The segment gross margin was 6.8% in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. The fiscal 2020 segment
gross margin was negatively impacted by sharply lower volumes and under recovery of overhead costs during the
second half of the year due to the wind down of the domestic iron and steel business. These negative impacts to
segment gross margin were partially offset by good project execution on both capital and repair and maintenance
projects during the first half of the year and a favorable project closeout on a thermal vacuum chamber project in the
fourth quarter. The fiscal 2019 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by a lower than previously forecasted
margin on a thermal vacuum chamber project, partially offset by improved gross margins on iron and steel work.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net income (loss) before impairment of goodwill and other
intangible assets, restructuring costs, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, because it is used
by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of
companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of
Income entitled ‘‘Net income (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 income (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 and other intangible assets. 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 by
the Company and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs
has material limitations.
34
•
•
•
It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and to
acquire businesses, pay commitment fees to maintain our senior secured revolving credit facility, and incur
fees to issue letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility, interest expense is a
necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure
that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
It does not include 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.

We define liquidity as the ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all
contractual and financial obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal 2020 were cash and cash equivalents
on hand, capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations. Cash and
cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2020 totaled $100.0 million and availability under the senior secured revolving
credit facility totaled $93.4 million, resulting in total liquidity of $193.4 million.
There continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the near- and intermediate-term business impacts from the
COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company entered this environment with a strong balance sheet and liquidity,
which it expects to be sufficient to support its near- to intermediate-term needs. In fiscal 2020, the Company
implemented steps to preserve its financial position including:
•
•
•
restructuring the business to right-size the cost structure to the expected near-term revenue;
eliminating all non-critical capital expenditures; and
suspending share repurchases.
We believe the cost reduction efforts were appropriate given the circumstances. These reductions were significant,
but did not impact our capabilities nor our ability to execute work. These reductions will enable us to be more
competitive and profitable in the future and preserve liquidity.

Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and that 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.
Some fixed price customer contracts allow for significant upfront billings at the beginning of the
project, which temporarily increases liquidity near-term.
Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to
carry these costs until they can be billed and collected.
Some of our large construction projects may require security in the form of letters of credit or
significant retentions. The timing of collection of retentions is often uncertain.
Other changes in working capital.
Capital expenditures.
Other factors that may impact both short and long-term liquidity include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Acquisitions and disposals of businesses.
Strategic investments in new operations.
Purchases of shares under our stock buyback program.
Contract disputes which can be significant.
Collection issues, including those caused by weak commodity prices, economic slowdowns or other factors
which can lead to credit deterioration of our customers.
Capacity constraints under our senior secured revolving credit facility and remaining in compliance with
all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
Issuances of letters of credit.
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 totaled $44.1 million. Major

Working capital changes at June 30, 2020 in comparison to June 30, 2019 include the following:
•
•
Accounts receivable, net of bad debt expense recognized during the period, decreased by $56.6 million
during fiscal 2020, which increased cash flows from operating activities. The increase is primarily due to
lower volumes of business and the timing of billing and collections.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (‘‘CIE’’) decreased
$36.5 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. Billings on uncompleted contracts in
36
excess of costs and estimated earnings (‘‘BIE’’) decreased $41.7 million, which decreased cash flows from
operating activities. CIE and BIE balances declined primarily due to lower volumes of business in the
second half of the year. These balances routinely experience significant fluctuations based on the timing of
when job costs are incurred and the invoicing of those job costs to the customer.
Other assets and liabilities decreased $11.0 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities.
The decrease is primarily related to lower retentions that are expected to be collected beyond one year in
connection with large projects, partially offset by an increase in net income taxes receivable.
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses decreased by $56.3 million, which decreased cash flows
from operating activities. The variance is primarily attributable to lower volumes of business and the timing
of vendor payments. These decreases were partially offset by $3.8 million of deferred payroll tax associated
with the CARES Act (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6 - Income Taxes).
•
•
Cash Flows Used for Investing Activities
Investing activities used $17.1 million of cash in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $18.5 million
of capital expenditures, partially offset by $1.4 million of proceeds from asset sales. Capital expenditures consisted
of: $7.4 million for transportation equipment, $5.1 million for construction and fabrication equipment, $5.0 million
for software and office equipment, and $1.1 million for facilities.
Cash Flows Used by Financing Activities
Financing activities used $16.0 million of cash in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to share
repurchases of $17.0 million and the repurchase of $3.5 million of Company stock for payment of withholding taxes
due on equity-based compensation, partially offset by net borrowings of $4.2 million under the Company’s senior
secured revolving credit facility.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the ‘‘Credit
Agreement’’), by and among the Company and certain foreign subsidiaries, as Borrowers, various subsidiaries of the
Company, as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole
Bookrunner, and the other Lenders party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million that expires
February 8, 2022. The credit facility may be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, issuances
of letters of credit and other lawful purposes.
The credit facility includes a U.S. Dollar equivalent sublimit of $75.0 million for revolving loans denominated in
Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and letters of credit in Australian Dollars, Euros,
and Pounds Sterling. The credit facility also includes a $200.0 million sublimit for total letters of credit.
Each revolving borrowing under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
•
•
•
•
The ABR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
The Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Canadian
Dollars;
The Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian
Dollars; or
The EURIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Euros,
in each case, plus the Applicable Margin, which is based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit
Agreement. The Applicable Margin on ABR loans ranges between 0.625% and 1.625%. The Applicable Margin for
Adjusted LIBO, EURIBO and CDOR loans ranges between 1.625% and 2.625% and the Applicable Margin for
Canadian Prime Rate loans ranges between 2.125% and 3.125%.
The unused credit facility fee is between 0.25% and 0.45% based on the Leverage Ratio.
At June 30, 2020, the Company was at the lowest margin tier for all categories of loans and the unused revolving
credit facility fee under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
•
Our Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00. The
Leverage Ratio covenant requires that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.0 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined
in the Credit Agreement, or ‘‘Covenant EBITDA,’’ over the previous four quarters.
• We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter,
greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant requires that, as of the
end of any fiscal quarter, Covenant EBITDA, after deducting capital expenditures, dividends and share
repurchases, for the previous four quarters may not be less than 1.25 times the total of interest expense and
cash paid for income taxes over the previous four quarters and scheduled maturities of certain indebtedness
for the next four quarters.
•
Asset dispositions (other than dispositions in which all of the net cash proceeds therefrom are reinvested
into the Company and dispositions of inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment in the ordinary course
of business) are limited to $20.0 million per 12-month period.
Covenant EBITDA differs from Adjusted EBITDA, as reported under ‘‘Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial
Measure,’’ in Item 7 primarily because it permits the Company to:
•
•
•
exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense,
include pro forma EBITDA of acquired businesses as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the
previous four quarters, and
exclude certain other extraordinary items, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The Company is in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement allows exclusion of letters of credit that support our workers’ compensation programs when calculating availability
under the credit facility. At June 30, 2020, there were $6.5 million of letters of credit that support our workers’ compensation programs.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement limit the amount
of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay cash dividends on our capital
stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other cash dividends paid during such fiscal
year, does not exceed 50% of our cumulative net income for such fiscal year to date. While we currently do not intend
to pay cash dividends, any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements and
earnings as well as other relevant factors.
Treasury Shares
On November 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program (the ‘‘November 2018 Program’’),
which replaced the previous program that had been in place since December 2016 and was set to expire in December
2018. Under the November 2018 Program, the Company may repurchase common stock up to a maximum of
$30.0 million per calendar year provided that the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 10%, or
38
approximately 2.7 million, of the Company’s shares outstanding as of November 6, 2018. The Company may
repurchase its stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated
transactions and is not obligated to purchase any shares. The November 2018 Program will continue unless and until
it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. In fiscal 2020, the Company repurchased 1,047,606 shares of
its common stock for $17.0 million under the November 2018 Program. There were 1,349,037 shares available for
repurchase under the November 2018 Program as of June 30, 2020.
In addition to the stock buyback program, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax
withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. The Company withheld 181,081 and
79,111 shares of common stock during fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, to satisfy these obligations. These shares
were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares. The Company has 1,746,689 treasury shares as of June 30,
2020 and intends to utilize these treasury shares in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock
incentive plans and for sales to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk results primarily from our variable rate indebtedness under our Credit Agreement, which is
influenced by movements in short-term rates. Borrowings under our $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit
facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
•
•
•
•
The ABR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
The Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Canadian
Dollars;
The Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian
Dollars; or
The EURIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Euros,
in each case, plus the Applicable Margin, which is based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. The Applicable Margin
on ABR loans ranges between 0.625% and 1.625%. The Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBO, EURIBO and CDOR
loans ranges between 1.625% and 2.625% and the Applicable Margin for Canadian Prime Rate loans ranges between
2.125% and 3.125%.
Financial instruments with interest rate risk at June 30, 2020 were as follows:

$— $9,208

$9,208
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk, but evaluates the materiality
of interest rate risk exposure. An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would not have had a material impact
on the financial results of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
Foreign Currency Risk
Matrix Service Company has subsidiaries with operations in Canada and South Korea, which use the Canadian Dollar and
South Korean Won, respectively, as their functional currencies. The Company also has a subsidiary with operations in
Australia, but its functional currency is the U.S. Dollar since its sales are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars.
Historically, movements in the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate have not significantly impacted the
Company’s results. Also, the Company does not expect exchange rate fluctuations in its South Korean and Australian
operations to materially impact its financial results since these operations represent an insignificant portion of the
Company’s consolidated revenue and expenses. However, further growth in its Canadian, South Korean and/or
Australian operations and/or significant fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar, South Korean Won and/or Australian
Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rates could impact the Company’s financial results in the future.
Management has not entered into derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency risk, but periodically evaluates the
materiality of our foreign currency exposure. To mitigate our risk, on occasion we convert Canadian Dollar balances
into U.S. Dollars to settle U.S. Dollar amounts owed by our Canadian operations. A 10% unfavorable change in the
Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar would not have had a material impact on the financial results of the Company
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company has no direct commodity exposure, but we do have exposure to materials derived from certain
commodities including steel plate, steel pipe, and copper, which are key materials used by the Company. Supplies
of these materials are available throughout the United States and worldwide. We anticipate that adequate amounts of
these materials will be available in the foreseeable future. However, the price, quantity, and delivery schedules of
these materials could change rapidly due to various factors, including producer capacity, the level of foreign imports,
worldwide demand, the imposition or removal of tariffs on imported steel and other market conditions. We mitigate
these risks primarily by procuring materials upon contract execution to ensure that our purchase price approximates
the costs included in the project estimate, and also by negotiating contract escalation clauses to cover unexpected
costs due to fluctuations in materials derived from certain commodities.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Matrix Service Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) are responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and cannot provide absolute
assurance that all objectives will be met. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves diligence
and is subject to lapses in judgment and human error. Internal control over financial reporting can also be
circumvented by collusion or management override of controls. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that
material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as
of June 30, 2020. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework (2013) set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (‘‘COSO’’) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Management’s assessment included an evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key
financial
reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, overall control environment and
information systems control environment. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 was effective.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s
report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Matrix Service Company
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Matrix Service Company and subsidiaries (the
‘‘Company’’) as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020
based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020 of the Company
and our report dated September 3, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

‘‘Company’’) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income,
Cash Flows and Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020 and
the related notes and schedule listed in the Index at Item 8 (collectively referred to as the ‘‘financial statements’’).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 3, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and include the accounts of Matrix Service Company and its subsidiaries (‘‘Matrix’’
or the ‘‘Company’’), all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.
The Company operates in the United States, Canada, South Korea and Australia. The Company’s reportable segments
are Electrical Infrastructure, Oil Gas & Chemical, Storage Solutions and Industrial.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe the most significant estimates and
judgments are associated with revenue recognition, the recoverability tests that must be periodically performed with
respect to our goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation reserves on our accounts receivable and deferred tax
assets, and the estimation of loss contingencies,
including liabilities associated with litigation and with the
self-insured retentions on our insurance programs. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Leases
Adoption of New Leases Standard
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, lessees are required
to recognize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated operating lease liability
or finance lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified
asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising
from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as operating
leases or finance leases. Operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are adjusted to result in a single straight-line
lease expense over the life of the lease. Finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, which contain provisions
similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standards, result in the recognition of interest expense on the lease
liability and amortization expense on the right-of-use asset over the term of the lease.
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. The modified
retrospective method permits the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for existing leases as of
the date of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company recorded operating
lease right-of-use assets of $24.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $25.8 million as of July 1, 2019.
The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s retained earnings, Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Financial results reported
in prior periods are unchanged and reflect the prior lease accounting standards in place at the time.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for the new
standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification of its
existing leases. All of the Company’s existing leases were classified as operating leases prior to adoption and have
retained this classification after adoption. In addition, the Company elected not to utilize the hindsight practical
expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases at adoption.
Lease Accounting Policy
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology
equipment in the normal course of business. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at
inception of the arrangement. An arrangement is determined to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use
of identified property and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use
assets are recognized as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date,
plus any lease payments made prior to commencement, and less any lease incentives received. Operating lease
50
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term as of the
commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized based on the undiscounted future lease payments over
the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense related to short-term leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Determinations with respect to lease term (including any renewals and terminations), incremental borrowing rate
used to discount lease payments, variable lease expense and future lease payments require the use of judgment based
on the facts and circumstances related to each lease. The Company considers various factors, including economic
incentives, intent, past history and business need, to determine the likelihood that a renewal option will be exercised.
Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for impairment of long-lived assets.
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 commonly are fixed price contracts and are billed based on
project milestones. Our repair and maintenance services typically are cost reimbursable or time and material 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 be in excess of 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 collectibility is probable. We also evaluate
whether a contract should be combined with other contracts and accounted for as one 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
51
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
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. The Company does 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.
52
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company includes as cash equivalents all investments with original maturities of three months or less which are
readily convertible into cash. We have cash on deposit at June 30, 2020 with banks in the United States, Canada,
South Korea and Australia in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’), Canada Deposit Insurance
Corporation (‘‘CDIC’’), Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘KDIC’’) and Financial Claims Scheme (‘‘FCS’’)
protection limits, respectively. The United States Dollar equivalent of Canadian, South Korean and Australian
deposits totaled $13.5 million as of June 30, 2020.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, less the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company’s
customers consist primarily of major integrated oil companies, independent refiners and marketers, power companies,
petrochemical companies, pipeline companies, mining companies, contractors and engineering firms. The Company
is exposed to the risk of individual customer defaults or depressed cycles in our customers’ industries. To mitigate
this risk many of our contracts require payment as projects progress or advance payment in some circumstances.
In addition, in most cases the Company can place liens against the property, plant or equipment constructed or
terminate the contract if a material contract default occurs. Management estimates the allowance for uncollectible
accounts based on existing economic conditions, the financial condition of its customers and the amount and age of
past due accounts. Accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts only after all reasonable
collection attempts have been exhausted.
Retentions
Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounts payable retentions are generally settled within one year.
Loss Contingencies
Various legal actions, claims and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are
recorded in the consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with ASC 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.
Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of steel plate and pipe and aluminum coil and extrusions. Cost is determined primarily
using the average cost method and inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets.
Depreciable lives are as follows: buildings—40 years, construction equipment—3 to 15 years, transportation
equipment—3 to 5 years, and office equipment and software—3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
53
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in
management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets used in operations may not be recoverable.
The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on management’s estimate of undiscounted future
cash flows attributable to the assets as compared to the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred,
the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and, to the extent
the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, recording a loss provision.
For assets identified to be disposed of in the future, the carrying value of the assets are compared to the estimated
fair value less the cost of disposal to determine if an impairment has occurred. Until the assets are disposed of, an
estimate of the fair value is redetermined when related events or circumstances change.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not
amortized and 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 in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or in between annual tests whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, 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 carrying values of our reporting units to our market capitalization.
Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging
from 6 years to 15 years. A finite intangible asset is considered impaired when its carrying amount is not recoverable
and exceeds the asset’s fair value. The carrying amount is deemed unrecoverable if it is greater than the sum of
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss is equal
to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If quoted market prices are not available, the
fair values of the intangible assets are based on present values of expected future cash flows or royalties avoided
using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved.
Insurance Reserves
We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential
losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. We establish reserves for claims
using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and case-by-case evaluations of the underlying claim data
54
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our
reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates
in the future. If actual results of claim settlements are different than the amounts estimated we may be exposed to
future gains and losses that could be material.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has issued stock options and nonvested deferred share awards under its long-term incentive
compensation plans. The fair value of these awards is calculated at grant date. The fair value of time-based, nonvested
deferred shares is the value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The fair value of market-based
nonvested deferred shares is based on several factors, including the probability that the market condition specified
in the grant will be achieved, which is calculated using a Monte Carlo model. The fair value of stock options is
determined based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For all stock-based awards, expense is recognized over
the requisite service period with forfeitures recorded as they occur.
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. Company management believes 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.
Foreign Currency
The functional currencies of the Company’s operations in Canada, South Korea and Australia are the Canadian
Dollar, South Korean Won and U.S. Dollar, respectively. The functional currency of the Company’s Australian
operations is the U.S. Dollar since its sales are primarily denominated in that currency. For subsidiaries with
operations using a foreign functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rates and
the income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates throughout the year. Translation gains and
losses are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements
of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income. Translation gains and losses are reversed from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(Loss) and are recognized in current period income in the event the Company disposes of an entity with accumulated
translation gains or losses. Transaction gains and losses are reported as a component of Other income (expense) in
the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
On June 16, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, which will change how
the Company accounts for its allowance for uncollectible accounts. The amendments in this update require a financial
asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement
losses that have taken place during the period.
will reflect any increases or decreases of expected credit
The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical
experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported
amount.
55
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Previous GAAP delays the recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring.
The amendments in this update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect the
Company’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, current guidance limits the information the
Company may consider in measuring a credit loss to its past events and current conditions. The amendments in this
update broaden the information the Company may consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate to include
forecasted information.
The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2020 with no material impact to its estimate of the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.
Note 2 – Revenue
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company had $566.4 million of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of June 30, 2020.
The Company expects to recognize approximately $429.0 million of its remaining performance obligations as
revenue within the next twelve months.
Contract Balances
Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payment, 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 reported on a net basis at the end of each period 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 the Company’s CIE and BIE primarily results from the
timing of revenue recognized relative to its billings. The amount of revenue recognized during the twelve months
ended June 30, 2020 that was included in the prior period BIE balance was $104.4 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 June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 included retentions to be collected within
one year of $37.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are
included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $1.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and
$17.7 million as of June 30, 2019.

Typically, the Company assumes more risk with fixed-price contracts since increases in cost to perform the work may
not be recoverable. However, these types 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.
The mix of revenue by contract type shifted since the third quarter of fiscal 2020 due to the Company’s strategic
initiative to exit the domestic iron and steel industry, which was comprised primarily of time and materials and other
cost reimbursable contracts.

The translation adjustments relate to the periodic translation of Canadian Dollar and South Korean Won denominated goodwill recorded as
a part of prior acquisitions in Canada and South Korea, in which the local currency was determined to be the functional currency.
In August 2018, the Company disposed of a business that marketed process heating equipment. See Note 3 - Acquisitions and Disposals
for more information about the disposal. The business disposed of constituted its own reporting unit and the amount of goodwill written off
was all of the goodwill assigned to that reporting unit. None of the goodwill was considered impaired since the Company recorded a gain
on the disposal.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2020, which resulted in no impairment.
The fiscal 2020 test indicated that three reporting units with a combined total of $14.2 million of goodwill as of
June 30, 2020 were at higher risk of future impairment than others. If the Company’s view of project opportunities
or gross margins deteriorates, particularly for the higher risk reporting units, then the Company may be required to
record a material impairment of goodwill.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company concluded that goodwill impairment indicators existed based
on the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in the price of crude oil. These
uncertainties resulted in lowered revenue expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 and led to
significant volatility in the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim test as of
March 31, 2020, which did not result in any additional impairments.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company concluded that a goodwill impairment indicator existed in the
Electrical Infrastructure segment based on the recent history of depressed gross margins and the second quarter’s
downward acceleration of revenue and gross margin. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim impairment
test as of December 31, 2019, reflecting updated revenue and gross margin assumptions, and concluded that the
reporting unit’s $24.9 million of goodwill was fully impaired. Additionally, the Company concluded that a goodwill
impairment indicator existed for an Industrial segment reporting unit based on several second quarter events. These
events included the deterioration of our relationship with a significant customer in the iron and steel industry in the
second quarter. As a result, the customer canceled other previously awarded work and the Company is expecting little
to no new business from this customer in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim
impairment test as of December 31, 2019 and concluded that the reporting unit’s $8.0 million of goodwill was fully
impaired.

Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
In fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a $17.3 million impairment of goodwill included in the Electrical Infrastructure
segment. The impairment was triggered by lower financial projections as a result of the Company’s decision to shift
its strategy away from EPC power generation projects to smaller, individual packages that better fit the Company’s
strategy and risk profile, and sluggish maintenance and capital spending by some key clients in our Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic high voltage markets.
The estimated fair value of each reporting unit was derived primarily by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis.
The key assumptions used are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Goodwill.
Other Intangible Assets
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company fully impaired a customer relationship intangible asset with a net
book value of $1.2 million. The customer relationship primarily related to services which were impacted by the
Company’s performance improvement plan (see Note 14 - Restructuring Costs). As a result, the customer relationship
intangible asset was no longer recoverable. As of June 30, 2020, this intangible asset had a remaining useful life of
approximately 2 years, a gross carrying amount of $6.3 million and accumulated amortization of $5.1 million.
The impairment is included in the restructuring costs caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Also in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company fully impaired a customer relationship intangible asset with
a net book value of $0.4 million in connection with the closure of an underperforming operating unit. The closure
was part the Company’s performance improvement plan (see Note 14 - Restructuring Costs). As of June 30, 2020,
this intangible asset had a remaining useful life of approximately 4 years, a gross carrying amount of $0.9 million
and accumulated amortization of $0.5 million. The impairment is included in the restructuring costs caption in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, in connection with the factors disclosed for the Industrial segment goodwill
impairment above, the Company fully impaired a customer relationship with a net book value of $5.6 million. As of
December 31, 2019, this intangible asset had a remaining useful life of 9 years, a gross carrying amount of
$9.4 million and accumulated amortization of $3.8 million. The impairment is included within the goodwill and other
intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a $0.7 million impairment to a customer relationship
intangible asset associated with an acquisition that was completed in fiscal 2013. The impairment was triggered by
lower than anticipated revenue and operating income. The impairment is included in the Oil Gas & Chemical segment
and is presented within the goodwill and other intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statements
of Income.

Note 5—Debt
On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the ‘‘Credit
Agreement’’), by and among the Company and certain foreign subsidiaries, as Borrowers, various subsidiaries of the
Company, as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole
Bookrunner, and the other Lenders party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million that expires
February 8, 2022. The credit facility may be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, issuances
of letters of credit and other lawful purposes.
The credit facility includes a U.S. Dollar equivalent sublimit of $75.0 million for revolving loans denominated in
Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and letters of credit in Australian Dollars, Euros,
and Pounds Sterling. The credit facility also includes a $200.0 million sublimit for total letters of credit.
Each revolving borrowing under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
•
•
•
•
The ABR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
The Canadian Prime Rate or
Canadian Dollars;
the CDOR rate,
in the case of
revolving loans denominated in
The Adjusted LIBO Rate,
Australian Dollars; or
in the case of
revolving loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or
The EURIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Euros,
in each case, plus the Applicable Margin, which is based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. The Applicable Margin
on ABR loans ranges between 0.625% and 1.625%. The Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBO, EURIBO and CDOR
loans ranges between 1.625% and 2.625% and the Applicable Margin for Canadian Prime Rate loans ranges between
2.125% and 3.125%.
The unused credit facility fee is between 0.25% and 0.45% based on the Leverage Ratio.
At June 30, 2020, the Company was at the lowest margin tier for all categories of loans and the unused revolving
credit facility fee under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
•
Our Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
The Leverage Ratio covenant requires that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.0 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined
in the Credit Agreement, or ‘‘Covenant EBITDA,’’ over the previous four quarters.
• We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter,
greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant requires that, as of the

repurchases, for the previous four quarters may not be less than 1.25 times the total of interest expense and
cash paid for income taxes over the previous four quarters and scheduled maturities of certain indebtedness
for the next four quarters.
•

Note 6—Income Taxes
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (the ‘‘CARES Act’’) was
signed into law. The purpose of the CARES Act was to provide $2.2 trillion in funding to fight the COVID-19
pandemic and provide economic relief in the form of tax relief, government loans and grants. The CARES Act
contains the following key provisions which affect income taxes:
•
•
•
•
•
Eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporations to fully utilize net operating loss
carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019, or 2020 and reinstating it for tax years after 2020;
Allows net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years;
Increases the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for the 2019
and 2020 tax years;
Allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund for the entire amount of the credit
instead of recovering the credit through refunds over a period of years, as required by the 2017 Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act; and
Allows entities to deduct more of their charitable cash contributions made during calendar year 2020 by
increasing the taxable income limitation to 25% from 10%.
The income tax provisions in the CARES Act have not had a material impact on the Company as of June 30, 2020.
The CARES Act also provides certain payroll tax credits and allows companies to defer payroll tax that would
otherwise be due from enactment through December 31, 2020. The Company has recognized $0.8 million of payroll
tax credits during fiscal 2020 and has deferred $3.8 million of payroll tax as of June 30, 2020. The payroll tax credits
61
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
are included as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income
and the deferred payroll taxes are included within other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company
must repay half of the deferred payroll tax by December 31, 2021 and the remainder by December 31, 2022.
The Company has also received $1.1 million of subsidies in Canada during fiscal 2020 as part the Canada Emergency
Wage Subsidy program, which was designed to compensate Canadian employers whose business has been affected
by the COVID-19 pandemic. These subsidies are included as a reduction of selling, general and administrative
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In fiscal 2020, the Company impaired $32.9 million of goodwill, which included $8.6 million of non-deductible goodwill. In fiscal 2018,
the Company impaired $17.3 million of goodwill, which included $8.3 million of non-deductible goodwill. See Note 4 - Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets for more information about the impairments.
In fiscal 2020, the Company placed $3.1 million of valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits
primarily related to Canada. In fiscal 2019, the Company placed $4.5 million of valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards
and foreign tax credits generated by its branch operations in Canada, which will likely not be utilized prior to their expiration. These
valuation allowances were largely offset by the reversal $3.5 million of branch liabilities associated with the Canadian net operating loss
carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards, federal foreign tax credit
carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance
at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 reduces the recognized tax benefit of these carryforwards to an amount that is
more likely than not to be realized. These carryforwards will generally expire as shown below:

In general, it is the practice and intention of the Company to reinvest the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries in its
foreign operations. We do not provide for outside basis differences under the indefinite reinvestment assertion of
ASC 740-30.
The Company files tax returns in multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, the
Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities through fiscal 2015. At June 30, 2020, the
Company updated its evaluation of its open tax years in all known jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2020, we have a
$0.5 million liability for unrecognized tax positions and the payment of related interest and penalties. We treat the
related interest and penalties as income tax expense. Due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters, we are
unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur.
Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance Reserves
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, exposure to potential
losses is retained through the use of deductibles, self-insured retentions and coverage limits.

Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance
of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name
the customer as an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase
special insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy
performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix maintains a performance and payment bonding line
sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and
the Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional
insured for activities arising out of the
subcontractors’ work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety
bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.
There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors
will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
included revenue for unpriced change orders and claims of $14.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The
amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material
adjustment to future earnings. Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is
expected within twelve months. However, customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related
claims, and accordingly, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.
Other
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company commenced litigation in an effort to collect $17.8 million in
accounts receivable from an iron and steel customer following the deterioration of the relationship in the second
quarter of fiscal 2020. Based on the terms of the contract with this customer, the Company is entitled to collect the
full amount owed under the contract. However, the timing of collection is uncertain.
The Company and its subsidiaries are participants in various legal actions. It is the opinion of management that none
of the other known legal actions, including a contract dispute with a customer involving the construction of a crude
terminal, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 8— Leases
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology
equipment in the normal course of business. Real estate leases accounted for approximately 87% of all right-of-use
assets as of June 30, 2020. Most real estate and information technology equipment leases generally have fixed
payments that follow an agreed upon payment schedule and have remaining lease terms ranging from less than a year
to 16 years. Construction equipment leases generally have ‘‘month-to-month’’ lease terms that automatically renew
as long as the equipment remains in use.
The Company recorded $3.2 million of impairments to right-of-use assets related to leased office space that was
closed in connection with the Company’s restructuring activities, see Note 14 – Restructuring Costs for additional
information.

Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
The Company has 5.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which was issued or outstanding at
June 30, 2020 or June 30, 2019.
Treasury Shares
On November 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program (the ‘‘November 2018 Program’’),
which replaced the previous program that had been in place since December 2016 and was set to expire in December
2018. Under the November 2018 Program, the Company may repurchase common stock up to a maximum of
$30.0 million per calendar year provided that the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 10%, or
approximately 2.7 million, of the Company’s shares outstanding as of November 6, 2018. The Company may
repurchase its stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated
transactions and is not obligated to purchase any shares. The November 2018 Program will continue unless and until
it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. In fiscal 2020, the Company repurchased 1,047,606 shares of
66
Matrix Service Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
its common stock for $17.0 million under the November 2018 Program. There were 1,349,037 shares available for
repurchase under the November 2018 Program as of June 30, 2020.
In addition to the stock buyback program, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax
withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. The Company withheld 181,081 and
79,111 shares of common stock during fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, to satisfy these obligations. These shares
were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares. The Company has 1,746,689 treasury shares as of June 30,
2020 and intends to utilize these treasury shares in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock
incentive plans and for sales to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Note 10—Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018
was $9.9 million, $11.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Measured but unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense at June 30, 2020 was $11.9 million, all of which related to nonvested deferred shares which are expected
to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The Company recognized excess tax
expense of $0.2 million and $0.5 million related to stock-based compensation vesting for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2020 and 2018, respectively. The Company recognized excess tax benefits of $0.3 million for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2019 related to stock-based compensation vesting.
Plan Information
In October 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the Matrix Service Company 2018 Stock and Incentive
Compensation Plan (the ‘‘2018 Plan’’), which provides stock-based and cash-based incentives for officers, directors
and other key employees. Stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance
shares and cash-based awards can be issued under this plan. Upon approval of the 2018 Plan, the 2016 Stock and
Incentive Compensation Plan (‘‘2016 Plan’’) was frozen with the exception of normal vesting and other activity
associated with awards previously granted under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan was preceded by the 2012 Stock
Incentive Plan (‘‘2012 Plan’’), which was frozen upon approval of the 2016 Plan with the exception of normal
vesting, forfeiture and other activity associated with awards previously granted under the 2012 Plan. Shares awarded
under either the 2016 Plan or the 2012 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or net settled for tax withholding purposes
are returned to the treasury share pool and become available for grant under the 2018 Plan. The 2012 Plan was
preceded by the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (‘‘2004 Plan’’), which was frozen upon approval of the 2012 Plan with
the exception of normal vesting, forfeiture and other activity associated with awards previously granted under the
2004 Plan.
Awards totaling 1,600,000 shares have been authorized under the 2018 Plan. There were 1,473,424 shares available
for grant under the 2018 Plan as of June 30, 2020.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted at the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and expire after
10 years. The Company’s policy is to issue shares upon the exercise of stock options from its treasury shares, if
available. The Company did not award any new stock options in fiscal years 2020, 2019, or 2018.

Nonvested Deferred Shares
The Company has issued nonvested deferred shares under the following types of arrangements:
•
Time-based awards—Employee awards generally vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year
after the grant date. Beginning in fiscal 2019, the award agreements contain a provision that accelerates the
vesting for retirement eligible participants and participants that become retirement eligible during the
vesting period and who elect to retire more than one year after the date of the award. The award is forfeited
if retirement occurs before the first anniversary of the award. Settlement still occurs on the normal vesting
schedules. Director awards vest one year after the grant date.
• Market-based awards—These awards are in the form of performance units which vest 3 years after the
grant date only if the Company’s common stock achieves certain levels of total shareholder return when
compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of companies as selected by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The payout can range from zero to 200% of the original award
depending on the Company’s relative total shareholder return during the performance period. These awards
are settled in stock. As of
there are approximately 232,000, 170,000, and
200,000 performance units that are scheduled to vest in fiscal 2021, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2023,
respectively, assuming target performance.
June 30, 2020,
All awards vest upon the death or disability of the participant or upon a change of control of the Company.
The grant date fair value of the time-based awards is determined by the market value of the Company’s common
stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of stock options is determined based on the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The grant date fair value of the market-based awards is calculated using a Monte Carlo model. For
the fiscal 2020 grant, the model estimated the fair value of the award based on approximately 100,000 simulations
of the future prices of the Company’s common stock compared to the future prices of the common stock of its peer
companies based on historical volatilities. The model also took into account the expected dividends over the
performance period of those peer companies which pay cash dividends.

Note 11—Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share (‘‘EPS’’) is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of employee and director stock options and nonvested deferred
shares. Stock options are considered dilutive whenever the exercise price is less than the average market price of the
stock during the period and antidilutive whenever the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the common
stock during the period. Nonvested deferred shares are considered dilutive (antidilutive) whenever the average market
value of the shares during the period exceeds (is less than) the sum of the related average unamortized compensation
expense during the period plus the related hypothetical estimated excess tax benefit that will be realized when the
shares vest. Stock options and nonvested deferred shares are considered antidilutive in the event we report a net loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company contributes to various union sponsored multiemployer benefit plans in the U.S. and Canada. Benefits
under these plans are generally based on compensation levels and years of service.
For the Company, the financial risks of participating in multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans
in the following respects:
•
•
•
Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to
employees of other participating employers.
If a participating employer discontinues contributions to a plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may
be borne by the remaining participating employers.
If a participating employer chooses to stop participating in a plan, a withdrawal liability may be created
based on the unfunded vested benefits for all employees in the plan.
Under federal legislation regarding multiemployer pension plans, in the event of a withdrawal from a plan or plan
termination, companies are required to continue funding their proportionate share of such plan’s unfunded vested
benefits. We are a participant in multiple union sponsored multiemployer plans, and, as a plan participant, our
potential obligation could be significant. The amount of the potential obligation is not currently ascertainable because
the information required to determine such amount is not identifiable or readily available.

Our participation in significant plans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 is outlined in the table below. The ‘‘EIN/Pension Plan
Number’’ column provides the Employer Identification Number (‘‘EIN’’) and the three digit plan number. The zone status is based
on the latest information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Plans in the red zone are
generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are generally less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green
zone are generally at least 80 percent funded. The ‘‘FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented’’ column indicates plans for which a
financial improvement plan (‘‘FIP’’) or a rehabilitation plan (‘‘RP’’) is either pending or has been implemented. The ‘‘Surcharge

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Matrix Service Company 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (‘‘ESPP’’) was effective January 1, 2011. The
ESPP allows employees to purchase shares through payroll deductions and members of the Board of Directors to
purchase shares from amounts withheld from their cash retainers. Share purchases are limited to an aggregate market
value of no greater than $60,000 per calendar year per participant and are purchased from the Company at the current
market value with no discount to the participant. Contributions are with after tax earnings and are accumulated in
non-interest bearing accounts for quarterly purchases of company stock. Upon the purchase of shares, the participants
receive all stockholder rights including dividend and voting rights, and are permitted to sell their shares at any time.
The Company has made 1,000,000 shares available under the ESPP. The ESPP can be terminated at any time at the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will automatically terminate on January 2, 2021. Shares are issued from
Treasury Stock under the ESPP. There were 20,733 shares issued in fiscal 2020, 15,812 shares in fiscal 2019, and
21,920 shares in fiscal 2018.
Note 13—Segment Information
In fiscal 2020, we operated our business through four reportable segments: Electrical Infrastructure; Oil Gas &
Chemical; Storage Solutions; and Industrial.
The Electrical Infrastructure segment consists of power delivery services provided to investor owned utilities,
including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, short-run transmission line installations,
distribution upgrades and maintenance, as well as emergency and storm restoration services. We also provide
construction and maintenance services to a variety of power generation facilities, such as combined cycle plants and
other natural gas fired power stations.
The Oil Gas & Chemical segment serves customers primarily in the downstream and midstream petroleum industries
who are engaged in refining crude oil and processing, fractionating, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas
liquids. We also perform work in the petrochemical, and sulfur extraction, recovery and processing markets. Our
services include plant maintenance, turnarounds, engineering and capital construction. We also offer industrial
cleaning services, including hydro-blasting, hydro-excavating, advanced chemical cleaning and vacuum services.
The Storage Solutions segment consists of work related to aboveground storage tanks (‘‘AST’’) and terminals. Also
included in this segment are cryogenic and other specialty storage tanks and terminals including liquefied natural gas,
liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen, liquid petroleum and other specialty vessels such as spheres as well as marine
loading/offloading facilities. Our services include engineering, fabrication and
structures and truck and rail
construction, and maintenance and repair, which includes planned and emergency services for both tanks and full
terminals. Finally, we offer AST products, including geodesic domes, aluminum internal floating roofs, floating
suction and skimmer systems, roof drain systems and floating roof seals.
The Process and Industrial Facilities segment includes engineering, maintenance, turnarounds and capital projects for
the refining, chemical and petrochemical industries; midstream natural gas processing; other industrial processing
facilities including biofuels, fertilizer, and sulfur; mining and minerals infrastructure; and thermal vacuum chambers.
This segment is similar to the former Oil Gas & Chemical segment described above, but includes mining and
minerals, thermal vacuum chambers, and work in other industrial facilities which were historically reported in the
Industrial segment.
Due to changing markets facing our clients and to better align the financial reporting of the Company with our
long-term strategic growth areas, we are changing our reporting segments. Beginning in fiscal 2021, the Company’s
financial results will be reported under the following three segments: Utility and Power Infrastructure; Process and
Industrial Facilities; and Storage and Terminal Solutions. The services provided by each of these segments is
described below.
The Utility and Power Infrastructure segment includes services provided in power delivery and power generation, as
well as natural gas utility peak shaving. This segment is similar to the former Electrical Infrastructure segment
described above, but includes natural gas utility peak shaving facilities that have been historically reported in the
Storage Solutions segment.

The Storage and Terminal Solutions segment includes engineering, construction, maintenance and repair for
aboveground storage tanks and terminals; LNG facilities for import/export fueling and bunkering; NGL and other
specialty vessels; aboveground storage tank products; and other renewable energy storage and terminal solutions.
This segment is similar to the former Storage Solutions segment described above, but does not include the natural
gas utility peak shaving facilities, which will be reported as part of the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income. The accounting policies of
the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost; therefore, no intercompany profit or loss is recognized.
Segment assets consist primarily of accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets.

In February 2020, the Company announced a business improvement plan for the Electrical Infrastructure segment and
its strategic initiative to exit the domestic iron and steel industry. Planned activities under the business improvement
plan and the wind down of the domestic iron and steel industry were expanded in the second half of the year due to
lower revenue in fiscal 2020 and uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The business improvement plan consisted of discretionary cost reductions, workforce reductions and closures of
certain offices in order to increase the utilization of the Company’s staff and bring the cost structure of the business

in line with the near-term revenue expectation. The restructuring costs are primarily comprised of severance and
personnel-related costs related to reductions in workforce and impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets,
other intangible assets and other fixed assets related to the closure of certain offices. The Company incurred
$14.0 million of restructuring costs in fiscal 2020 and has substantially completed its business improvement plan and
the wind down of the domestic iron and steel business as of June 30, 2020.
Restructuring costs incurred are classified as follows:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ in
Rule 13a-15(e).
The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting
will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. The design of our internal control system takes into account the fact that
there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be weighed against the costs. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the acts of key individuals, collusion or management override.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level at June 30, 2020.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
See ‘‘Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting’’ set forth in Item 8, Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that many of our employees worked
remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the effects of the pandemic
on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
