TULSA, Okla., Feb. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (NASDAQ:MTRX) announced today that it has begun the repurchase of common stock under its stock buyback program. The current program, which expires on December 31, 2016, provides for a maximum repurchase of $25 million per calendar year.
“We believe the current share price understates the strength of Matrix Service Company’s value and prospects for long-term growth,” said president and CEO John R. Hewitt. “This buyback underscores the confidence we have in our business and further demonstrates our continued commitment to maximizing value for our shareholders.”
Hewitt added "solid execution of our strategic plan has resulted in diversification that, along with a strong business environment and our financial position, provides a solid foundation for our long-term success.”
