HOUSTON, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IES Holdings, Inc. (or "IES" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: IESC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments

  • Revenue of $706 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 24% compared with $569 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2023
  • Operating income of $77.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 146% compared with $31.6 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2023

  • Adjusted net income attributable to IES (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) of $52.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 115% compared with $24.6 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2023, and diluted adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders of $2.29 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $1.07 for the same quarter of fiscal 2023
  • Remaining performance obligations, a GAAP measure of future revenue to be recognized from current contracts with customers, of approximately $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2024
  • Backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) of approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2024
  • Subsequent to quarter end, completed the acquisition of Greiner Industries, expanding the product offerings, capacity and geographic reach of our Infrastructure Solutions business

Overview of Results

"We are pleased with our financial performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as the investments we have made to support the organic growth of our businesses positioned us to take advantage of continued strength across our end markets," said Jeff Gendell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite elevated interest rates, demand for residential housing has remained firm, which benefited our Residential segment, while strength in the data center market positively impacted our Communications, Infrastructure Solutions, and Commercial & Industrial segments. Our margins continued to benefit from process improvements, operating leverage from our increased scale and strong project execution across all four segments. We expect continued strong performance across our four segments for the remainder of this fiscal year, while continuing to monitor our housing markets for any signs of slowing activity.

"Our strong financial position has enabled us to pursue both organic growth opportunities and strategic acquisitions. On April 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Greiner Industries, based in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, which both adds new product offerings and expands capacity for our existing Infrastructure Solutions business. Further, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we leased a fabrication facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina to provide additional capacity to support our Infrastructure Solutions segment. Together, these actions reflect our strategy of expanding the geographic footprint of our custom power solutions products to better serve our customers."

Our Communications segment's revenue was $193.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 37% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Increased demand across the business, particularly in the data center end market, drove the growth. The segment's operating income increased to $21.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $11.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as we benefited from increased volumes, improved project execution and pricing, and a more disciplined bidding process.

Our Residential segment's revenue was $339.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 11% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Our single-family business benefited from strong demand, while successful execution of its backlog contributed to revenue growth in our multi-family business. While the outlook in the multi-family market suggests new project activity may slow over the coming year, we expect that continued expansion of our plumbing and HVAC offerings will provide additional growth opportunities for our business. The Residential segment's operating income increased to $34.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $16.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Margins increased year over year as a result of favorable purchases of certain materials, improved project execution in our multi-family business, and improved procurement and other processes that were implemented as part of the reorganization of our Residential segment we began in April 2023.

Our Infrastructure Solutions segment's revenue was $75.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 44% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023, driven by continued strong demand in our custom power solutions business, including generator enclosures, primarily for the data center end market. Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $16.1 million, compared with $8.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year profit improvement was driven by higher volumes, improved pricing and operating efficiencies at our facilities as well as the impact of investments to increase capacity we have made over the last several years.

Our Commercial & Industrial segment's revenue was $97.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 41% compared with $69.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, while segment operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $11.7 million, compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The improved results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 largely reflect a strong contribution from a large data center project where our performance exceeded estimates. We also benefited from solid execution and improved bid margins across the business, driven by a strategy implemented in the prior year to improve project selection and contract terms through a more disciplined bidding process.

Matt Simmes, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "Our focus on improving procurement and other processes has contributed to improved margins in all of our businesses, particularly in our Infrastructure Solutions and Commercial & Industrial segments. At the same time, our investments in upgrading and expanding capacity in our Infrastructure Solutions business have allowed us to materially increase capacity while adding new product offerings. Our Commercial & Industrial segment will continue to pursue margin expansion through improved contract terms, material purchasing, and labor management processes while managing contract risk. As our Residential segment nears the completion of the reorganization started a year ago, it now will refocus efforts on profitable growth, including through the organic expansion of the HVAC and plumbing trades."

"We delivered strong year-over-year revenue and profitability growth, resulting in a cash balance of $106.0 million and no debt at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024," added Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer. "Our second quarter results include the benefit from larger than expected gains on certain projects across our business, particularly in our Commercial & Industrial segment, as well as the favorable impact resulting from certain material purchases. We took advantage of our strong financial position to purchase Greiner Industries subsequent to the end of the quarter. We expect to continue to generate significant cash flow for the remainder of fiscal 2024, which will be available to fund both organic expansion and acquisitions, as well as provide capital for stock repurchases or other investments. As a reminder, we substantially utilized our federal tax net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal 2023, and as a result, we will have a higher cash tax rate in fiscal 2024."

Stock Buyback Plan

In December 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and announced a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to $40 million of our common stock from time to time, which replaced the Company's previous program. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares under its repurchase program. The Company had $37.6 million remaining under its stock repurchase authorization at March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments

This press release includes adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, and backlog, and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included herein, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income before taxes, each of which is a financial measure 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, in the case of adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income before taxes, distinguishing certain nonrecurring events such as litigation settlements, significant expenses associated with leadership changes, or gains or losses from the sale of a business, or noncash events, such as impairment charges or our valuation allowances release and write-down of our deferred tax assets, or, in the case of backlog, providing a common measurement used in IES's industry, as described further below, and that these measures, when reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, help our investors to better identify underlying trends in the operations of 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, which has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. While backlog is not a defined term under GAAP, it is a common measurement used in IES's industry and IES believes this non-GAAP measure enables it to more effectively forecast its future results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. IES's remaining performance obligations are a component of IES's backlog calculation, which also includes signed agreements and letters of intent which we do not have a legal right to enforce prior to work starting. These arrangements are excluded from remaining performance obligations until work begins. IES's methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.

For further details on the Company's financial results, please refer to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by May 3, 2024, and any amendments thereto.
