Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2023 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending June 30, 2024.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

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

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

Other accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2 – Revenue

Remaining Performance Obligations

We had $749.4 million of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of December 31, 2023. We expect to recognize $437.1 million of our remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next twelve months.

Contract Balances

Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payments, which usually differs from the timing of revenue recognition. As a result, we carry contract assets and liabilities in our balance sheet. These contract assets and liabilities are calculated on a contract-by-contract basis and are classified as current. We present our contract assets in the balance sheet as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts ("CIE"). CIE consists of revenue recognized in excess of billings. We present our contract liabilities in the balance sheet as Billings on Uncompleted Contracts in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings ("BIE"). BIE consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. The following table provides information about CIE and BIE:

-8-

Table of Conten t s


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023		Change
	(In thousands)
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	40,426	$	44,888	$	(4,462)
Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings	(117,273)		(85,436)		(31,837)
Net contract liabilities	$	(76,847)	$	(40,548)	$	(36,299)

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

Progress billings in accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 included retentions to be collected within one year of $14.7 million and $16.3 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in other assets, non-current in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $17.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and $10.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

Unpriced Change Orders and Claims

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $11.8 million at December 31, 2023 and $9.7 million at June 30, 2023. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings. The determination of our legal basis for a claim requires significant judgment. Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, since customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

Disaggregated Revenue

Revenue disaggregated by reportable segment is presented in Note 9 - Segment Information. The following tables presents revenue disaggregated by geographic area where the work was performed and by contract type:

Geographic Disaggregation:

Table of Conten t s

Revisions in Estimates

During fiscal 2023, unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete and closeout certain midstream gas processing construction work in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment resulted in a reduction of gross profit of $9.6 million and $9.4 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. This was primarily the result of the client not approving adequate compensation to us for the impact that excessive scope changes had on our ability to progress the work according to forecast and for the impacts of global supply chain issues and inflation.

Note 3 – Property, Plant and Equipment

Building Disposals

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma for $2.7 million in net proceeds, which resulted in a gain of $2.0 million. Proceeds were received in January 2024. The gain was included in Other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The facility was previously utilized for our industrial cleaning business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The Catoosa, Oklahoma facility was closed as it was no longer strategic to the future of the business.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a previously utilized facility in Burlington, Ontario for $2.7 million in net proceeds, which resulted in a gain of $2.5 million. The gain was included in Other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We closed this previously utilized facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 because it was no longer strategic to the future of the business.

Note 4 – Goodwill

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023,we had indicators of a potential impairment and performed an interim impairment test within the Process and Industrial Facilities segment. We concluded that its $12.3 million of goodwill was fully impaired and recognized the impairment in operating income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. We did not record any impairments during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023.

Note 5 – Debt

On September 9, 2021, the Company and our primary U.S. and Canada operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-based credit agreement, which was amended on October 5, 2022 and December 29, 2023 (as amended, the "ABL Facility"), with Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer, and the lenders named therein. The maximum amount of loans under the ABL Facility is limited to $90.0 million. The ABL Facility's available borrowings may be increased by an amount not to exceed $15.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments. The ABL Facility is intended to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, issuances of letters of credit and other lawful purposes. Our obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by a first lien on all our assets and the assets of our co-borrowers and guarantors under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures, and any outstanding amounts become due and payable, on September 9, 2026.

The maximum amount that we may borrow under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on restricted cash plus a percentage of the value of certain accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, reduced for certain reserves. We are required to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million of restricted cash at all times, but such amounts are also included in the borrowing base. The borrowing base is recalculated on a monthly basis and at December 31, 2023, our borrowing base was $69.1 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. The Company had $10.0 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2023, which resulted in availability of $59.1 million under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at our option, an annual rate of either a base rate (“Base Rate”), an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), or at the Canadian Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The Adjusted Term SOFR is defined as (i) the SOFR plus (ii) 11.448 basis points for a one-month tenor and 26.161 basis points for a three-month tenor; provided that the Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be below zero. The Base Rate is defined as a fluctuating interest rate equal to the greater of: (i) rate of interest announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time as its prime rate; (ii) the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for one month period plus 1.00%; or (iv) 1.00%. Depending on the amount of average availability, the applicable margin is between 1.00% to 1.50% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings, which includes either U.S. or Canadian prime rate, and between 2.00% and 2.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings. Interest is payable either (i) monthly for Base Rate or

-10-

Table of Conten t s

Canadian Prime Rate borrowings or (ii) the last day of the interest period for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings, as set forth in the ABL Facility. The fee for undrawn amounts is 0.25% per annum and is due quarterly.

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

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rates were zero for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rates during fiscal 2024 were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $1.4 million placed on deferred tax assets during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates during fiscal 2023 were impacted by valuation allowances of $8.4 million and $9.8 million placed on deferred tax assets during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

Valuation Allowance

We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance Reserves

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, self-insured retentions and coverage limits.

Typically, our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. We may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase special insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. We maintain a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. We generally require our subcontractors to indemnify us and our customer and name us as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’ work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of us, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.

There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.

Litigation

During fiscal 2020, we commenced litigation in an effort to collect an account receivable from an iron and steel customer on a reimbursable contract following the deterioration of the relationship. In connection with our suit, the customer filed certain counterclaims against us. In September 2023, a jury returned a verdict in our favor and awarded us the full contract balance. We received full payment of $16.8 million in October 2023.

During fiscal 2023, we completed cost reimbursable construction services for a customer at a mining and minerals facility. In late fiscal 2023, after numerous attempts to collect outstanding receivables, we filed a notice of default for lack of payment of outstanding balances, and in early fiscal 2024, we filed a lien on the facility. The customer responded by commencing litigation against us, alleging breach of contract and breach of express warranty. We deny all claims and filed a countersuit against the customer for failure to pay outstanding amounts of accounts receivable, which totaled $5.6 million as of December 31, 2023. Litigation is unpredictable, however, based on the terms of the contract with this customer, we believe we are entitled to collect the full amount owed under the contract.

-11-

Table of Conten t s

During fiscal 2022, we filed an arbitration demand in an effort to collect outstanding balances of $32.7 million from a customer for which we completed a crude oil storage terminal project. The customer has filed counterclaims for liquidated damages and miscellaneous warranty items. We deny all claims and believe we are entitled to collect the full amount owed under the contract. Our hearing for this matter is currently scheduled for October 2024.

We believe we have set appropriate reserves for the matters described above based on our evaluation of the possible outcomes of the litigation. We and our subsidiaries are participants in various other legal actions. It is the opinion of management that none of the other known legal actions will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 8 – Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) includes the dilutive effect of nonvested restricted stock shares. In the event we report a loss, nonvested restricted stock shares are not included since they are anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Note 9 – Segment Information

We report our results of operations through three reportable segments: Storage and Terminal Solutions, Utility and Power Infrastructure, and Process and Industrial Facilities.

•Storage and Terminal Solutions: primarily consists of engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction services related to cryogenic and other specialty tanks and terminals for LNG, NGLs, hydrogen, ammonia, propane, butane, liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen, and liquid petroleum. We also perform work related to traditional aboveground crude oil and refined product storage tanks and terminals. This segment also includes terminal balance of plant work, truck and rail loading/offloading facilities, and marine structures as well as storage tank and terminal maintenance and repair. Finally, we manufacture and sell precision engineered specialty tank products, including geodesic domes, aluminum internal floating roofs, floating suction and skimmer systems, roof drain systems and floating roof seals.

•Utility and Power Infrastructure: primarily consists of engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction services to support growing demand for LNG utility peak shaving facilities. We also perform traditional electrical work for public and private utilities, including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, transmission and distribution line installations, and upgrades and maintenance including live wire work. Work may also include emergency and storm restoration services. We also provide construction services to a variety of power generation facilities, including natural gas fired facilities in simple or combined cycle configurations.

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

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on operating income. We eliminate intersegment sales; therefore, no intercompany profit or loss is recognized. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses are excluded from our three reportable segments in order to align controllable costs with the responsibility of segment management, and to be consistent with how our chief operating decision-maker assesses segment performance and allocates resources. Segment assets consist primarily of accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.

Note 10 – Restructuring Costs

In fiscal 2020, we initiated a business improvement plan to increase profitability and reduce our cost structure in order to help us become more competitive and deliver higher quality service. As a result of specific events, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market disruptions, the Company expanded its business improvement plan.

The business improvement plan consisted of an initial phase of discretionary cost reductions, workforce reductions, reduction of capital expenditures and the reduction in size or closure of certain offices in order to increase the utilization of our staff and bring the cost structure of the business in line with revenue volumes. In fiscal 2022, we commenced a second phase of our plan to focus on centralization of support functions, including business development, accounting, human resources, procurement and project services into shared service centers. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, we incurred restructuring costs of $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The restructuring costs were primarily related to severance and other personnel-related costs in connection with the second phase of our plan as well as the closure of an underperforming operating location. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q 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 Form 10-Q 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:

•amounts and nature of future project awards, revenue and margins from each of our segments;

•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;

•our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement;

•the impact to our business from economic, market or business conditions in general and in the natural gas, power, oil, petrochemical, agricultural and mining industries in particular;

•the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;

•the impact to our business from disruptions to supply chains, inflation and availability of materials and labor;

•our expectations with respect to the likelihood of a future impairment;

•our expectations regarding pending litigation; and

•expansion and other trends of the industries we serve.

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:

•any risk factors discussed in this Form 10-Q, Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

•economic, market or business conditions in general and in the natural gas, power, oil, petrochemical, 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 permitting issues or other factors;

•reduced creditworthiness of our customer base and the higher risk of non-payment of receivables;

•the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation;

•the adequacy of our reserves for claims and contingencies; and

•changes in laws or regulations, including the imposition, cancellation or delay of tariffs on imported goods.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on our business operations. We assume no obligation to

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We report our results of operations through three reportable segments: Storage and Terminal Solutions, Utility and Power Infrastructure, and Process and Industrial Facilities.

Operational Update

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we continued to make progress on efforts to position the company for profitable growth. Another quarter of strong project awards contributed to a total of $1.4 billion of project awards in the last 12 months, and the highest backlog in the company's history. Many of these project awards are large construction projects that will generate revenues over a multi-year period with expected gross margins at our pre-pandemic historical gross margin range. While the time to convert these awards to revenue is dependent on a variety of factors, many outside of our control, we expect modest growth in the third quarter of this fiscal year, and a substantial recovery of revenues in the fourth quarter and beyond. We have also improved project execution, resulting in strong direct gross margins in all three of our segments. We tightly managed costs, with selling, general and administrative expenses at their lowest level since 2014. These efforts have produced a cost structure that we expect to leverage for enhanced gross margins and operating income as revenue volumes return. We have also closely managed our balance sheet. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we repaid all outstanding borrowings on our ABL Facility while simultaneously growing our cash balance by $19.8 million. The result is a strong financial position, which will provide the foundation for future growth. The combination of these factors positions the company for significantly improved financial performance in the near term.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed ("LNTP") or other type of assurance that we consider firm. The following arrangements are considered firm:

•fixed-price awards;

•minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

-18-

Table of Contents

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

For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which we have received a LNTP, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that the likelihood of the full project proceeding is probable. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

The following table provides a summary of changes in our backlog for the three months ended December 31, 2023:

(1)Calculated by dividing project awards by revenue recognized during the period

In the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, we booked $125.2 million of project awards during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Included in project awards was scope growth on an existing LNG storage construction project award, and a tank and terminal construction project. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we booked $539.9 million of project awards, which included a significant LNG storage construction project. This segment includes significant opportunities for storage infrastructure projects related to natural gas, LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, NGLs and other forms of renewable energy. We believe LNG and hydrogen projects will be key growth drivers for this segment. Bidding activity on LNG projects has been strong.

In the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, we booked $41.4 million of project awards during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Included in project awards was a significant power delivery construction project. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we booked $64.5 million of project awards. Project opportunities and bidding activity are strong for both the power delivery portion of the business and LNG peak shaving.

In the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, backlog decreased by 2.1% as we booked $64.2 million of project awards during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Project awards during the quarter were driven by contract growth on a refinery retrofit project at a biodiesel facility and spending related to refinery maintenance and turnaround operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we booked $123.8 million of project awards. We continue to see increasing opportunities in mining and minerals, chemicals, aerospace, and renewables. In addition, we are pursuing opportunities for hydrogen and carbon capture projects across a number of different markets.

Table of Contents

Project awards in all segments are cyclical and are typically the result of a sales process that can take several months or years to complete. It is common for awards to shift from one period to another as the timing of awards is dependent upon a number of factors including changes in market conditions, permitting, off take agreements, project financing and other factors. Backlog volatility may increase for some segments from time to time when individual project awards are less frequent, but more significant. There is an inherent lag between the time a project is awarded and when it begins to have a material impact on revenue. In some cases, this lag can be between three and six months or longer, depending on finalization of scopes, contracts, permits, and facility process requirements. Additionally, awards for larger construction projects may be recognized as revenue over a multi-year period as the projects may take a few years to complete.

Three months ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Three months ended December 31, 2022

Consolidated

Consolidated revenue was $175.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $193.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily related to the Process and Industrial Facilities and Utility Power and Infrastructure segments, which decreased by $9.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $10.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of $1.3 million in the same period last year. Gross margin (loss) increased to 6.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to (0.7)% in the same period last year. Gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were positively impacted by strong project execution partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. Gross margins in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were also negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs, as well as unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, and continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $15.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $17.5 million in the same period last year. SG&A expenses continue to benefit from the Company's cost control measures. In addition, the timing of project pursuits resulted in lower pursuit costs in the quarter ended December 31, 2023. We remain active in the market as we pursue additional project opportunities.

In the prior year quarter ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.3 million. We did not have any goodwill impairment in the quarter based upon the improved market and performance outlook. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill, for more information about the impairment.

The Company did not incur any restructuring costs during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we closed an underperforming office and ceased its associated operations, which resulted in $1.3 million of restructuring costs. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 - Restructuring Costs, for more information about our business improvement plan. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.

Interest expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of interest on debt outstanding, unused capacity fees, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees and other interest. Interest expense decreased due to the repayment of borrowing under the ABL credit facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2023 included a gain of $2.0 million on the sale of a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma. We received $2.7 million in net proceeds from the sale. The proceeds were received in January 2024. The facility was previously utilized for our industrial cleaning business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This completes the divestiture and closure of a non-core service offering of the business as part of our strategy to focus the business on core markets.

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were zero. The effective tax rates during both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets generated during the quarters. We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $32.8 million, or $1.22 per fully diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Storage and Terminal Solutions

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

The segment gross margin was 2.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 2.6% in the same period last year. Strong direct margins during the quarter were offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We have allocated additional resources to this segment to support recent awards and anticipated higher revenue volume in the second half of fiscal 2024. We expect continued award strength in this segment in the next two quarters that will increase revenue volumes and provide more stability in future quarters. With revenue increases in this segment, we expect to reach full recovery of construction overhead costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Utility and Power Infrastructure

Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $40.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $50.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes of power delivery and power generation work. The Company expects higher revenue volume as it moves through the remainder of fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025 as it transitions recent large LNG peak shaver project awards through contracting, project planning and mobilization.

The segment gross margin was 3.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to a gross margin of 4.8% in the same period last year. In the current quarter, strong project execution in this segment was offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower revenue volumes. The segment gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.

Process and Industrial Facilities

Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $71.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $80.8 million in the same period last year. Decreases in revenue volumes from midstream gas processing, industrial cleaning, and mining and minerals work were partially offset by increases in work for a renewable energy facility and thermal vacuum chambers.

The segment gross margin (loss) was 9.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to (6.4)% in the same period last year. Project execution improved in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 resulting in a significantly improved gross margin despite the lower revenue volume. The segment gross margin (loss) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing construction work. The project reduced gross profit by $9.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The segment gross margin (loss) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was also negatively impacted by the under recovery of construction overhead costs and continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.

Corporate

Unallocated corporate revenue and expenses were $6.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $7.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a long-standing legal dispute with an iron and steel customer, which resulted in the recognition of $1.2 million of revenue.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2022

Consolidated

Consolidated revenue was $372.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $402.3 million in the same period last year. On a segment basis, revenue decreased in the Utility and Power Infrastructure and Process and Industrial Facilities segments by $22.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by a $13.1 million increase in revenue in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $22.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross profit of $11.7 million in the same period last year. Gross margin increased to 6.0% in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 2.9% in the same period last year. Gross margins in the first six months of fiscal 2024 were

positively impacted by strong project execution, partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We expect this under-recovery to be temporary as we have maintained overhead resources at levels needed to support higher revenue volumes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margins in the first six months of fiscal 2023 were also negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs, as well as unfavorable changes in the estimated recovery of change orders and increased forecasted costs to complete certain midstream gas processing projects, continued work on previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $32.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $34.4 million in the same period last year. Consolidated SG&A expenses for the first half of fiscal 2024 continue to benefit from the Company's cost control measures, with lower costs in a number of categories, including pursuit costs, salaries, professional fees, depreciation, and rent. These decreases were partially offset by an additional $1.9 million of expense associated with the variable accounting for cash-settled stock-based compensation, which increased due to a higher stock price.

In the prior year period ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.3 million. We did not have any goodwill impairment in the current period based upon the improved market and performance outlook. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 - Goodwill, for more information about the impairment.

The Company did not incur any restructuring costs during the six months ended December 31, 2023. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we incurred $2.6 million of restructuring costs, which included severance and other personnel-related costs in connection with our restructuring plan. Additionally, we closed an underperforming office and ceased its associated operations, which resulted in $0.7 million of restructuring costs. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 - Restructuring Costs, for more information about our business improvement plan. Our restructuring efforts were substantially complete as of June 30, 2023.

Interest expense was $0.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $1.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense in both periods consisted primarily of interest on debt outstanding, unused capacity fees, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and letter of credit fees. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding borrowings.

Other income during the six months ended December 31, 2023, included a gain of $2.0 million from the sale of a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma for $2.7 million in net proceeds. The proceeds were received in January 2024. The facility was previously utilized for our industrial cleaning business, which was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized a gain of $2.5 million on the sale of a previously utilized facility in Burlington, Ontario. We received $2.7 million in net proceeds from the sale. We closed this previously utilized facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 because it was no longer strategic to the future of the business.

Our effective tax rates for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were zero. The effective tax rates during both periods were impacted by valuation allowances of $1.4 million and $9.8 million, respectively, placed on deferred tax assets generated during the quarters. We placed a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the existence of a cumulative loss over a three-year period. We will continue to place valuation allowances on newly generated deferred tax assets and will realize the benefit associated with the deferred tax assets for which the valuation allowance has been provided to the extent we generate taxable income in the future.

For the six months ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $6.0 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $39.3 million, or $1.46 per fully diluted share, in the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Storage and Terminal Solutions

Revenue for the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment was $152.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $139.4 million in the same period last year. The increase in segment revenue is primarily a result of work on large construction projects awarded in the previous fiscal year, partially offset by lower volumes of work on tanks and terminals projects.

The segment gross margin was 4.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 6.6% in the same period last year. Strong direct margins during the period were offset by under-recovery of construction overhead costs. We have allocated additional resources to this segment to support recent awards and additional revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. As these revenues increase, we expect to reach full recovery of construction overhead costs in the second half of fiscal 2024. The fiscal 2023 segment gross margin was positively impacted by strong project execution, partially offset by low revenue volume, which led to under-recovery of construction overhead costs.

Table of Contents

Utility and Power Infrastructure

Revenue for the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment was $72.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $95.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in of power generation and power delivery work.

The segment gross margin was 7.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross margin of 4.3% in the same period last year. The segment gross margin for the first half of fiscal 2024 was positively impacted by strong project execution which led to favorable project closeouts. This was partially offset by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs due low revenue volumes. The segment gross margin for second quarter ended December 31, 2023 was negatively impacted by previously-booked projects with reduced gross margins awarded in a highly competitive time period.

Process and Industrial Facilities

Revenue for the Process and Industrial Facilities segment was $146.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $167.4 million in the same period last year. Decreases in revenue volumes from midstream gas processing, industrial facilities, mining and minerals, and refinery turnarounds work were partially offset by increases in work for a renewable energy facility and thermal vacuum chambers.

The segment gross margin was 8.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a gross loss of (0.5)% in the same period last year. Project execution was significantly improved in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 resulting in a significantly improved gross margin despite the lower revenue volume. The segment gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the under-recovery of construction overhead costs due to low revenue volume. Otherwise, project execution was generally strong in this segment including the completion of a midstream gas processing project in line with our previous forecast. The segment gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2023 was negatively impacted by work on a midstream gas processing project that experienced increases in forecasted costs to complete in the prior year, which reduced the remaining margin realized on the project. In addition, low revenue volumes resulted in under-recovery of construction overhead costs, which negatively impacted segment gross margin.

Corporate

Unallocated corporate revenues and expenses were $16.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $15.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher cash-settled stock-based compensation due to an increase in the price of our stock and legal costs related to a jury trial that resulted in a verdict in our favor, partially offset by the recognition of $1.2 million of revenue due to the favorable resolution of that dispute, see Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, Litigation, for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Loss

We have presented Adjusted net loss, which we define as Net loss before restructuring costs, gain on sale of assets, and the tax impact of these adjustments, because we believe it better depicts our core operating results. We believe that the line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net loss. Since Adjusted net loss is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Net loss as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net loss, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As Adjusted net loss excludes certain financial information compared with Net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted net loss, has certain material limitations as follows:

•It does not include impairments to goodwill. While impairments to intangible assets are non-cash expenses in the period recognized, cash or other consideration was still transferred in exchange for the intangible assets in the period of the acquisition. Any measure that excludes impairments to intangible assets has material limitations since these expenses represent the loss of an asset that was acquired in exchange for cash or other assets.

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

-23-

•It does not include gain on the sale of assets. While these sales occurred outside the normal course of business, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sales resulted in material inflows of cash.

(3)Represents the tax impact of the adjustments to Net loss, calculated using the applicable effective tax rate of the adjustment, including the impacts related to our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Adjusted EBITDA

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as Net loss before restructuring costs, gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Net loss as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with Net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

•It does not include gain on the sale of assets. While this sale occurred outside the normal course of business, any measure that excludes this gain has inherent limitations since the sale resulted in a material inflow of cash.

•It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to our employees and directors for services rendered. While the expense is non-cash, we historically release vested shares out of our treasury stock, which has been replenished by

using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.

•It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and acquisitions, pay commitment fees to maintain our credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

•It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

(2)Represents only the equity-settled portion of our stock-based compensation expense.

Seasonality and Other Factors

Our operating results can exhibit seasonal fluctuations, especially in our Process and Industrial Facilities and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments, for a variety of reasons. Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring or fall, when the demand for energy is lower. Within the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, transmission and distribution work is generally scheduled by the public utilities when the demand for electricity is at its lowest. Therefore, revenue volume in the summer months is typically lower than in other periods throughout the year.

Our business can also be affected, both positively and negatively, by seasonal factors such as energy demand or weather conditions including hurricanes, snowstorms, wildfires and abnormally low or high temperatures. Some of these seasonal factors may cause some of our offices and projects to close or reduce activities temporarily. In addition to the above noted factors, the general timing of project starts and completions could exhibit significant fluctuations. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of operating results for the full year.

Other factors impacting operating results in all segments come from decreased work volume during holidays, work site permitting delays or customers accelerating or postponing work. The differing types, sizes, and durations of our contracts, combined with their geographic diversity and stages of completion, often results in fluctuations in our operating results.

Our overhead cost structure is generally fixed. Significant fluctuations in revenue usually leads to over or under-recovery of fixed overhead costs, which can have a material impact on our gross margin and profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity at December 31, 2023 were unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand, capacity under our ABL Facility, and cash generated from operations. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 totaled $47.2 million and availability under the ABL Facility totaled $59.1 million, resulting in total liquidity of $106.3 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased $19.8 million and total liquidity increased $26.0 million as a result of cash provided by operating activities partially offset by the repayment of borrowings under the ABL credit facility.

The following table provides cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and total cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):


	December 31, 2023		September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	47,160	$	27,359	$	54,812

Restricted cash	25,000		25,000		25,000
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	72,160	$	52,359	$	79,812

Cash used by financing activities	(10,365)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	37
Liquidity at December 31, 2023	$	106,270

Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:

•changes in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs due to contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings:

◦some cost-plus and fixed-price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers;

-26-

Table of Contents

◦some fixed-price customer contracts allow for significant upfront billings at the beginning of a 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; and

◦some of our large construction projects may require security in the form of letters of credit or significant retentions. Retentions are normally held until certain contractual milestones are achieved;

•other changes in working capital, including the timing of tax payments and refunds; and

•capital expenditures.

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

•contract disputes;

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

•strategic investments in new operations or divestitures of existing operations;

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

•acquisitions and disposals of businesses or assets; and

•purchases of shares under our stock buyback program.

ABL Credit Facility

The maximum amount that we may borrow under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on restricted cash plus a percentage of the value of certain accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, reduced for certain reserves. We are required to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million of restricted cash at all times, but such amounts are also included in the borrowing base. The borrowing base is recalculated on a monthly basis and at December 31, 2023, our borrowing base was $69.1 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. The Company had $10.0 million in letters of credit outstanding, which resulted in availability of $59.1 million under the ABL Facility.

Cash Flow for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023

Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2023 totaled $0.7 million. The various components are as follows:

Net Cash Used by Operating Activities

(In thousands)


Net loss	$	(6,018)
Depreciation and amortization	5,692

Stock-based compensation	3,785
Other non-cash expenses	125
Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment	(4,589)

Cash effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities	1,734

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	729

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

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

•Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts ("CIE") decreased $4.5 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings ("BIE") increased $31.8 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. CIE and BIE balances can experience significant fluctuations based on business volumes and the timing of when job costs are incurred and the timing of customer billings and payments.

•Inventories, income taxes receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, operating right-of-use lease assets and other assets, non-current, increased $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2023, which decreased cash flows from operating activities. These operating assets can fluctuate based on the timing of inventory builds and draw-downs, accrual and receipt of income taxes receivable; prepayments of certain expenses; lease commencement, passage of time, expiration, or termination of operating leases; business volumes; and other timing differences.

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

Cash Flows Provided by Investing Activities

Investing activities provided $1.9 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to proceeds from asset sales, partially offset by capital expenditures. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a previously utilized facility in Burlington, Ontario for $2.7 million in net proceeds. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold a facility in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Proceeds from this sale of $2.7 million were received in January 2024 and will be reflected in our cash flows in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. We closed these previously utilized facilities as they was no longer strategic to the future of the business. Capital expenditures of $0.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily consisted of transportation equipment.

Cash Flows Used by Financing Activities

Financing activities used $10.4 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to $10.0 million in advances and $20.0 million in repayments under our ABL facility. As of December 31, 2023, we have no outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and the terms of our ABL Facility limit dividends to stock dividends only. Any future dividend payments will depend on the terms of our ABL Facility, our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other relevant factors.

Stock Repurchase Program

We may repurchase common stock pursuant to the Stock Buyback Program, which was approved by the board of directors in November 2018. Under the program, the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 2,707,175 shares. We may repurchase our stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions and are not obligated to purchase any shares. The program will continue unless and until it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. We made no repurchases under the program in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and have no current plans to repurchase stock. As of December 31, 2023, there were 1,349,037 shares available for repurchase under the Stock Buyback Program. The terms of our ABL Facility limit share repurchases to $2.5 million per fiscal year provided that we meet certain availability thresholds and do not violate our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant.

Treasury Shares

We had 587,732 treasury shares as of December 31, 2023 and intend to utilize these treasury shares in connection with equity awards under the our stock incentive plans and for sales to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on market risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. 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).

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 December 31, 2023. 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 December 31, 2023.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We may repurchase common stock pursuant to the Stock Buyback Program, which was approved by the board of directors in November 2018. Under the program, the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 2,707,175 shares. As of December 31, 2023, 1,349,037 shares were available for repurchase under the stock buyback program. We may repurchase our stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions and are not obligated to purchase any shares. The program will continue unless and until it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. The terms of our ABL Facility also limit share repurchases to $2.5 million per fiscal year provided that we meet certain availability thresholds and we do not violate our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant. We made no repurchases under the stock buyback program in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and have no current plans to repurchase stock.

We do not act as the owner of any mines, but as a result of our performing services or construction at mine sites as an independent contractor, we are considered an "operator" within the meaning of the Mine Act.
