Analyst · KeyBanc Capital
Thank you, Kevin, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us on the call this morning. Before we discuss our fourth quarter and fiscal year results, as well as guidance for fiscal 2013, I want to provide an update on our strategic planned activities and highlight key strategic accomplishments in Matrix Service Company in the past year. Matrix Service Company, finished our fiscal year with a consolidated OSHA recordable incident rate of 0.65, and with our major of SME group working 270 days without an OSHA recordable incident. We have a long way to go on our journey to a 0 incident rate, but our teams are making great progress. Our ability to continuously improve on these results is essential to our core values and the critical expectations of our clients. On August 9, we introduced a new brand identity, logo and tagline to better reflect our expanded capabilities and to complement our strategic growth plans. We have transitioned from multiple brands to a master brand architecture that represents the company's full range of service capabilities and our strong industry experience. This is a culmination of many months of hard work from a broad team within the company, and I'll encourage you to visit our new corporate website at www.matrixservicecompany.com to see our look and for more information. This year, we restructured some of our operations away from a regional focus to one that is more market driven, which is complementary and supportive of our strategy in the new operating segments. These Operating segments: Electrical Infrastructure, Oil Gas & Chemical, Storage Solutions, and Industrial provide greater internal focus and external transparency into our business and help us better tell the Matrix Service Company's story. We continue to move forward on an important ERP infrastructure investment. This multi-year program will improve and upgrade our systems and processes across the organization. When complete, we expect to have a more efficient and consistent business process environment that supports our long-term growth plans. This fiscal year, we opened 3 new office locations: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in support of our industrial cleaning business; as well as Tucson, Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah to support our mining and minerals focus, as well as fulfilling some of our geographic expansion objectives. In the second half of the fiscal year, we filled 2 key open positions on the senior management team, with the addition of Jack Frost, Vice President of Health, Safety and Environmental; and Alan Updyke, Vice President of Capital Construction. These individuals will provide critical leadership and experience to support our growth strategy. In addition, to provide more focus on the acquisition side of our strategy, Jason Turner, our Vice President and Treasurer, has taken on the role of Corporate Development. And finally, Jim Collins was promoted to Vice President of Electrical Infrastructure to apply more focus on the development and expansion of our high-voltage electrical services, including transmission and distribution. Speaking of which, our Electrical Infrastructure segment continues to provide solid margins and consistent work in Northeastern region of the United States, and we are gaining a strong reputation in storm damage repair work across North America. While new power generation projects are progressing slowly, the substation market continues to provide a steady flow of opportunities. We're investing heavily in our Electrical Infrastructure segment and are actively looking for acquisition opportunities in the high-voltage electrical space. Additionally, we are pleased to announce one of our recent awards for Matrix SME with PSEG to upgrade 4 substations as part of the North Central reliability projects in New Jersey. Work on this project with a contract value of approximately $40 million will begin immediately with the scheduled in-service date of June 2014. Overall, this segment's backlog had increased 49% compared to fiscal 2011. The Oil Gas & Chemical operating segment continues to see record work volumes, with fiscal 2012 revenue growth of 43.5% over fiscal 2011. Our refinery turnaround and maintenance activity in this segment continues to see robust growth, with fiscal 2012 in a record year for the company in terms of the number of turnarounds performed as well as man hours worked. In the fourth quarter alone, we had over 1,600 personnel in the field working at over 17 locations. We continue to see a large number of turnaround opportunities across the U.S., including the north slope of Alaska, the Gulf Coast and mid-continent states. Certainly, the recent sale of refineries on the East Coast has resulted in new work opportunities associated with restarting and expanding these facilities, including the major turnaround. This segment also includes our industrial cleaning business where we continue to actively develop acquisition targets. In addition, we are expanding our service offering geographically and developing cross-selling opportunities with existing customers. As I mentioned earlier, we have opened a new office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which will support the broader industrial cleaning effort company wide with cross-selling and business development activities. Additionally, the new office will function as a center of excellence from which other offices can draw our resources and technical expertise to support the broader industrial cleaning business. Segment backlog has increased 27.9% compared to fiscal 2011. The Storage Solutions segment represents -- represented 51.2% of consolidated revenue for the year. We were recently awarded a large tank package in Cushing, Oklahoma that will support the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline. While we remain the dominant storage provider in Cushing, we continue to develop -- successfully develop and bid and win new opportunities across the U.S. and Canada. Storage Solutions backlog outside of Cushing now represents 86% of the segment's backlog, and Western Canada remains a high-growth area for the company, with backlog growing 68% year-over-year as of June 30, 2012. Lastly, we continue to be pleased with the progress today in our Industrial operating segment, a key growth area for the company. Our mining and minerals footprint continues to grow with the addition of the new office locations in Salt Lake City, Utah and Tucson, Arizona as mentioned previously. While this business is still considered a start-up within Matrix Service Company, the team is successfully building an opportunity funnel, as well as bidding and winning work from top global mining companies operating in the western and Rocky Mountain states. Bid activity related to our material handling business remains solid and is expected to improve as the mining and minerals efforts gain additional traction. Matrix Service Company has booked an excess of $830 million of new work x [ph] fiscal 2012. Backlog has increased in 6 consecutive quarters, and is at its highest level in the company's history. This trend has continued into the early part of fiscal 2013. Our consolidated backlog increased to $497.5 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $454.9 million at the end of the third quarter and $405.1 million as of June 30, 2011. The company continues to see a strong bid pipeline, and new opportunities are opening up in connection with our strategic objectives. I will now turn the call back to Kevin to discuss the details of our financial performance. Kevin?
