MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Our fourth quarter results reflect the continued execution of our WIN, EXECUTE, DELIVER strategy. The combination of strong project execution, a more efficient cost structure, and a disciplined focus on the initiatives that matter most resulted in our second consecutive quarter of profitable growth," stated Shawn P. Payne, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Revenue grew 13% year over year as our teams converted backlog into higher volumes, led by specialty storage activity in our Storage and Terminal Solutions segment and continued strong execution in Utility and Power Infrastructure. At the same time, the leaner organizational structure we have built over the past 18 months has meaningfully reduced our fixed overhead costs, while enabling us to support a higher base of revenue with improved efficiency. We enter fiscal 2027 with a debt-free balance sheet and substantial liquidity to support our growth objectives in this next chapter.

“Matrix is focused on high-value opportunities, prioritizing backlog growth across our targeted end-markets,” continued Payne. “We secured nearly $170 million of project awards in the fourth quarter, including a major mining construction project in the western United States. This project, which supported a book-to-bill ratio of 3.2x in our Process and Industrial Facilities during the fourth quarter, expands our position in the non-ferrous mining and critical minerals market, broadens the range of end markets served by our engineering and construction capabilities, and represents an important new client relationship that we expect to expand over time.

"Fiscal 2026 was a pivotal year for Matrix," concluded Payne. "Our opportunity pipeline has grown to over $7 billion, reflecting generational levels of investment underway across the markets we serve, including LNG and NGL infrastructure, power generation, electric grid modernization, data centers, and mining and minerals production. A number of larger, multi-year opportunities within that pipeline have advanced meaningfully, and we anticipate a higher level of award activity as those targets reach final investment decision. Looking ahead, we are focused on driving profitable growth, executing projects safely, on time and on budget, and deploying capital with discipline as we seek to drive long-term value creation for our clients and shareholders.”

FISCAL 2026 FOURTH QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter revenue was $244.5 million, compared to $216.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in revenue for the quarter was attributable to higher revenue in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, partially offset by lower revenue in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment.

Gross profit was $19.5 million, or 8.0% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $8.1 million, or 3.8% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross margin was due to higher gross margins in the Storage and Terminal Solutions and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments, partially offset by lower gross margins in the Process and Industrial Facility segment.

SG&A expenses were $16.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses primarily reflects the reduction of costs associated with the Company's organizational realignment initiatives over the last 12 months partially offset by variable compensation tied to a return to profitable performance.

During the quarter, the Company incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs and other expenses, which included costs associated with the previously announced leadership transitions, as well as costs associated with actions taken in the fourth quarter to reduce our cost structure by reducing our workforce.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.3 million, or $(0.40) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $4.6 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $7.8 million, or $(0.28) per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $6.3 million compared to a loss of $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

FISCAL 2026 FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Storage and Terminal Solutions segment revenue increased 43% to $137.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $96.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, due to higher specialty storage activity. Gross margin was 6.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to (1.1)% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company lowered its recovery expectations on a legacy project completed in fiscal 2021 that was in arbitration which resulted in a $6.4 million decrease to both revenue and gross margin. The matter was fully resolved in fiscal 2026.

Utility and Power Infrastructure segment revenue was $73.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which was consistent with the prior year period. Gross margin was 12.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 9.1% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 3.7% due to strong project execution.

Process and Industrial Facilities segment revenue decreased to $33.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $47.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower revenue volumes for refinery work, partially offset by an increase in revenue for a mining project. Gross margin was 2.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 5.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of 3.0%, primarily due to a mix of work, as well as an increase in under-recovery of overhead costs as a result of lower revenue.

BACKLOG

Total backlog was $953.2 million as of June 30, 2026. Project awards totaled $169.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.7x for the quarter. Project awards during the fourth quarter for fiscal 2026 were driven primarily by activity in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, including a major mining construction project in the western United States.

Backlog

Matrix defines backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that the Company expects to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to the Company through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed or other type of assurance that the Company considers 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, the Company includes only the amounts that it expects to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which it has received a limited notice to proceed, the Company includes the entire scope of work in its backlog if it concludes that the likelihood of the full project proceeding has a high probability. For all other arrangements, Matrix calculates backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026

(2) Previous project awards removed from backlog.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Matrix has presented Adjusted net income (loss), which the Company defines as Net income (loss) before Restructuring costs and other expenses, and the tax impact of this adjustment, because the Company believes it better depicts its core operating results.  The Company believes that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income (loss)” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net income (loss). Since Adjusted net income (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 income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss), as Matrix calculates 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 the Company's cash needs. As Adjusted net income (loss) 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. The Company's non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted net income (loss), has certain material limitations as follows: * It does not include restructuring costs and other expenses. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses.  Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net income (loss) follows:

(1) Represents the tax impact of the adjustments to Net loss, calculated using the applicable effective tax rate of the adjustment. Due to the existence of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and net operating losses, there was no tax impact of any of the adjustments in any period presented.

Adjusted EBITDA

Matrix has presented Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring the Company's performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. Matrix believes that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as the Company calculates 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 the Company's 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 interest expense. Because the Company may borrow money to finance our operations and to acquire businesses, has paid commitment fees to maintain the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility, and has incurred fees to issue letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of the Company's costs and has assisted the Company in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
• It does not include interest income. Because the Company has cash invested in certain investment accounts and has earned interest income on these investments, any measure that excludes interest income has material limitations.
• It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of the Company's operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.
• It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because Matrix uses capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of the Company's cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.
• It does not include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.
• It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to the Company's employees and directors for services rendered. While the expense is non-cash, the Company has historically released vested shares out of 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. A reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA follows:
