Process and Industrial Facilities
−Removed: Process and Industrial Facilities revenues decreased by $55.1 million, or 21%, in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year.
−Removed: The decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenue volumes for midstream gas processing projects, mining and minerals, industrial facilities and refinery turnarounds.
−Removed: These decreases were offset by revenue increases for a renewable energy facility in addition to increases in revenue associated with thermal vacuum chambers.
−Removed: Process and Industrial Facilities gross profit increased by $11.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year.
−Removed: The segment gross margin was 6.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 0.9% for the same period last year.

−Removed: Non-GAAP Financial Measures
−Removed: Adjusted Net Loss
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Adjusted net loss, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
−Removed: In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted net loss, has certain material limitations as follows:
−Removed: • It does not include impairments to goodwill.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: • It does not include restructuring costs.
−Removed: Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses.
−Removed: Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.
−Removed: • It does not include gain on the sale of assets.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: A reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted net loss follows:

−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
−Removed: In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:
−Removed: • It does not include impairments to goodwill.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: • It does not include restructuring costs.
−Removed: Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses.
−Removed: Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.
−Removed: • It does not include gain on the sale of assets.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: • It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense.
−Removed: Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to our employees and directors for services rendered.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations.
−Removed: • It does not include interest expense.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
−Removed: • It does not include depreciation or amortization expense.
−Removed: Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure.
−Removed: Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

−Removed: (2) Represents only the equity-settled portion of our stock-based compensation expense.
−Removed: Seasonality and Other Factors
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring or fall, when the demand for energy is lower.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Therefore, revenue volume in the summer months is typically lower than in other periods throughout the year.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Some of these seasonal factors may cause some of our offices and projects to close or reduce activities temporarily.
−Removed: In addition to the above noted factors, the general timing of project starts and completions could exhibit significant fluctuations.
−Removed: Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of operating results for the full year.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Our overhead cost structure is generally fixed.
−Removed: 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.
+Added: Process and Industrial Facilities revenues decreased by $43.7 million, or 58%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year.
+Added: The decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenue volumes for a now completed large renewable diesel project.
+Added: We believe this reduction in revenue is temporary given our strong backlog, including a significant gas processing construction project that is expected to commence in late fiscal 2025.
+Added: Process and Industrial Facilities gross profit decreased by $3.1 million, or 61%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year.
+Added: The segment gross margin was 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 6.8% in the same period last year.

+Added: Unallocated corporate expenses net to $7.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $9.7 million in the same period last year.
+Added: The decrease of $2.3 million was primarily due to reduced legal expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
+Added: Legal expenses incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 included costs related to a jury trial that resulted in a verdict in our favor.

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:
−Removed: ◦ 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 a project, which temporarily increases liquidity near term;
+Added: ◦ 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;
◦ 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;
−Removed: ◦ some of our large construction projects may require security in the form of letters of credit or significant retentions.
+Added: ◦ some of our large construction projects may require security in the form of significant retentions.
