FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IES Holdings Reports Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Results
HOUSTON February 8, 2017 IES Holdings, Inc. (or IES or the Company) (NASDAQ: IESC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
First Quarter 2017 Highlights
| Income from operations of $7.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of 37% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 |
| Net income attributable to IES for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of $3.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, a decrease of $1.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 |
| Adjusted net income attributable to IES (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of $6.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 |
| Revenue of $192.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of 27% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 |
| Backlog of approximately $328 million as of December 31, 2016, as compared to approximately $341 million as of September 30, 2016 and approximately $289 million as of December 31, 2015 |
Management Commentary
Robert Lewey, President, stated, We are pleased with our first quarter results and how the entire organization continues to execute against our growth strategy. Our legacy business units continue to show strong organic growth, which, combined with the accretive acquisitions completed to date, resulted in a 37% improvement in operating income compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic in our ability to execute our stated growth strategy of improving margins, completing accretive acquisitions, maintaining a strong balance sheet and utilizing our NOLs.
Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer, added, Over the past twelve months we have seen an expansion in our backlog that is now materializing into revenue, which contributed to our 27% increase in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the first quarter of the prior year and overall improvement in operating margins.
Our release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, increased our GAAP income tax expense and effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, Ms. McLauchlin continued. However, with $404 million of NOLs as of September 30, 2016, we still maintain material net deferred tax assets that can reduce our future net cash tax exposure. Consistent with our fiscal year end 2016 press release, we have included expanded disclosures in this press release to highlight the significant difference between our expected tax provision and our expected cash taxes payable.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
The Company estimates that it has available NOLs for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $404 million at September 30, 2016, including approximately $142 million resulting from the additional amortization of personal goodwill. The Companys common stock is subject to a Rights Plan dated November 8, 2016, which is intended to assist in limiting the number of 5% or more owners of the Companys common stock and, thereby reduce the risk of a possible change of ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 that the Rights Plan will achieve the objective of preserving the value or realization of the NOLs.
Stock Buyback Plan
The Companys 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 did not repurchase any of its common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
This press release includes adjusted net income attributable to IES and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation table included herein, adjusted net income before taxes, both of which are financial measures 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 distinguishing certain noncash events such as
our valuation allowances release and certain acquisition and disposition related items, and that these measures, when reconciled to net income attributable to IES, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
For further details on the Companys financial results, please refer to the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2016, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by February 8, 2017, and any amendments thereto.

These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability of our controlling shareholder to take action not aligned with other shareholders; the possibility that certain tax benefits of our net operating losses may be restricted or reduced in a change in ownership; the potential recognition of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets; the inability to carry out plans and strategies as expected, including our inability to identify and complete acquisitions that meet our investment criteria in furtherance of our corporate strategy; competition in the industries in which we operate, both from third parties and former employees, which could result in the loss of one or more customers or lead to lower margins on new projects; fluctuations in operating activity due to downturns in levels of construction, seasonality and differing regional economic conditions; and our ability to successfully manage projects, as well as other risk factors discussed in this document and in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 and in the Company’s other reports on file with the SEC. You should understand that such risk factors could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those experienced previously or those expressed in such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any information, including information concerning its controlling shareholder, net operating losses, borrowing availability, or cash position, or any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this document. Forward-looking statements are provided in this document pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be evaluated in the context of the estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and risks described herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments This document includes adjusted net income attributable to IES and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation table included herein, adjusted net income before taxes, both of which are financial measures 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 distinguishing certain noncash events such as our valuation allowances release and certain acquisition and disposition related items, and that, these measures, when reconciled to net income attributable to IES, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this document.
