Executive Summary

Matrix Service Company delivered a revenue rebound in Q4 2024 with $189.5 million of top line, up 14% from Q3 2024 but down 7.9% year over year. The quarter produced a consolidated gross margin of 6.57% and a net loss of $4.38 million ($0.16 per fully diluted share), reflecting underrecovery of construction overhead amidst a lean revenue base. Backlog expanded more than 30% YoY to approximately $1.4 billion, supported by $176 million of awards in the quarter and a 1.5x book-to-bill, underscoring a robust nearโ€‘term pipeline. Management emphasized a strong multiโ€‘segment growth trajectory into fiscal 2025 driven by Storage & Terminal Solutions and Utility & Power Infrastructure, with a total opportunity pipeline of about $6.1 billion and a 12โ€“ to 30โ€‘month project cadence. The company reaffirmed its revenue guidance for fiscal 2025 of $900โ€“$950 million, representing a 24%โ€“30% YoY rise, and highlighted a lean balance sheet with zero debt and expanding liquidity, underpinning a return to profitability as overhead absorption improves with higher activity. Looking ahead, management cited megatrends in LNG, NGLs, ammonia, hydrogen and other renewable fuels as meaningful secular drivers across all segments, while signaling seasonality in Process & Industrial Facilities and ongoing improvements in the Electrical Infrastructure footprint. This report synthesizes the quarterโ€™s financials with management commentary to provide a forward-looking view on margins, backlog conversion, cash generation and the risk/return profile for investors.
