MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Robert Lewey, President, stated, “Our third quarter results reflect the collective strong performance and diversity of our
operating segments. I am pleased to report that our quarterly revenue grew by 24.7%, gross margins increased from 17.4% to
18.9% and operating margins increased from 3.2% to 4.6% when compared to the same quarter in the previous year. We believe the
significant and continued improvement of our operating metrics, combined with a $60 million increase in backlog, have us well
positioned to continue to achieve profitable growth. Lastly and as previously disclosed, during the quarter we completed
several strategic and corporate initiatives, including the acquisitions of STR Mechanical on April 27 and Technibus on June 15, the
completion of our name change to IES Holdings, Inc., and the amendment of our credit facility with improved terms.”
Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We continue to execute on our strategy of prudently
allocating capital to expand and diversify IES. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we deployed $60 million on four
business acquisitions, which included the most significant capital investment since beginning our holding company strategy. These
acquisitions were financed in large part with cash on hand, adding only approximately $20 million of debt. We believe that
our strong balance sheet and available liquidity, as well as expected cash flow from both our legacy and acquired businesses, will
support our organic and acquisition growth strategies.”
STOCK BUYBACK PLAN
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized and previously announced a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to 1.5
million shares of our common stock from time to time. The Company had 970,915 shares remaining under its stock repurchase
authorization at June 30, 2016. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 39,237 shares at an average
price of $11.82 per share.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS (NOLs)
The Company estimates that it had available net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of
approximately $439 million at September 30, 2015, including approximately $142 million resulting from the additional
amortization of personal goodwill. The Company's common stock is subject to a Rights Plan dated January 28, 2013 intended to
assist in limiting the number of 5% or more owners, and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of ownership” under Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code. Any such “change of ownership” under these rules would limit or eliminate the ability of the Company
to use its existing NOLs for federal income tax purposes. There is no guarantee, however, that the Rights Plan will achieve
the objective of preserving the value or realization of the NOLs.
For further details on the Company’s financial results, please refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016, to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 8, 2016, and any amendments thereto.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to our investors by
reflecting additional ways to view aspects of the Company's operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures,
help our investors to better identify underlying trends in our business and facilitate easier comparisons of our financial
performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review
the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of
the non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press
release.
