UPDATE: Matrix Service Company Completes Acquisition of Upstream Contractor

MTRX

TULSA, Okla., Aug. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq:MTRX) announced today that its subsidiary, Matrix Service Inc., has acquired certain assets from HDB, Ltd., a premier provider of construction, fabrication and turnaround services to energy companies throughout the Central Valley of California. Going forward, the business will be known as Matrix Service. While the terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, the acquisition purchase price was less than $10 million and funded with cash on hand.

"This acquisition advances our expansion into the upstream and midstream markets and strengthens our geographic footprint in California's primary oil producing region," said John R. Hewitt, President and Chief Executive Officer. "HDB has a long-standing reputation for safety, building solid customer relationships, and delivering exceptional service. The company is a great cultural fit for Matrix from a core value perspective."

Hewitt added that the combined resources and expertise of Matrix and HDB will bring even greater depth and breadth of services to oil and natural gas producers in California.

Located in Bakersfield, California, HDB has annual revenue of $15 million to $20 million and has been in business for more than 33 years.
