HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: IESC), an infrastructure services company with leading positions in a broad range of markets for electrical and communications products and services, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2013 third quarter.

• Operating cash flow of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.7 million from the third quarter of 2012
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure meaning earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other items; see reconciliation statement below) of $1.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the third quarter of 2012
• Net loss from continuing operations of ($0.7) million, or ($0.05) per share; adjusted net loss from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure; see reconciliation statement below) of ($0.1) million, or ($0.01) per share
• Backlog was approximately $194 million at June 30, 2013, a $12 million decrease from March 31, 2013

YEAR-TO-DATE FISCAL 2013 HIGHLIGHTS

• Operating cash flow of $3.7 million for the year-to-date 2013, an increase of $9.6 million from the year-to-date 2012
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure meaning earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other items; see reconciliation statement below) of $6.5 million, an improvement of $3.3 million from the year-to-date 2012
• Net loss from continuing operations of ($1.0) million, or ($0.07) per share; adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure; see reconciliation statement below) of $3.0 million, or $0.20 per share

James Lindstrom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "IES' third quarter operating cash flow, backlog stability and gross margin expansion reflect improved performance across our divisions despite challenging market dynamics. Looking forward, we maintain a conservative outlook on our markets, while remaining confident in our ability to continue increasing our recurring revenue base, cash flow and margins through operating and bidding discipline and selective acquisitions over the long term."

"The strong gross margins in our Communications division offset the wind-down of a significant mission critical project in that division that started in 2012. Our Residential and Commercial & Industrial divisions, while achieving solid operating improvements over the quarter, were impacted by the recognition of $1.4 million of specific project cost overruns in our multi-family division and one of our commercial locations," said Robert Lewey, Chief Financial Officer of IES. He continued, "Our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from the significant revenue growth in our Residential segment, an increased sales and marketing investment in our Communications segment and increased acquisition related expenses."

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.

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, 2012 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 12, 2013.

Certain statements in this release, including statements regarding the restructuring plan and total estimated charges and cost reductions associated with this plan, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all of which are based upon various estimates and assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable as of the date hereof. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "project," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pursue," "target," "continue," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. 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, fluctuations in operating activity due to downturns in levels of construction, seasonality and differing regional economic conditions; competition in our respective industries, 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; a general reduction in the demand for our services; a change in the mix of our customers, contracts and business; our ability to successfully manage projects; possibility of errors when estimating revenue and progress to date on percentage-of-completion contracts; inaccurate estimates used when entering into fixed-priced contracts; challenges integrating new businesses into the Company or new types of work or new processes into our divisions; the cost and availability of qualified labor; accidents resulting from the physical hazards associated with our work and the potential for accidents; success in transferring, renewing and obtaining electrical and construction licenses; our ability to pass along increases in the cost of commodities used in our business, in particular, copper, aluminum, steel, fuel and certain plastics; potential supply chain disruptions due to credit or liquidity problems faced by our suppliers; loss of key personnel and effective transition of new management; warranty losses, damages or other latent defect claims in excess of our existing reserves and accruals; warranty losses or other unexpected liabilities stemming from former divisions which we have sold or closed; growth in latent defect litigation in states where we provide residential electrical work for home builders not otherwise covered by insurance; limitations on the availability of sufficient credit or cash flow to fund our working capital needs; difficulty in fulfilling the covenant terms of our credit facilities; increased cost of surety bonds affecting margins on work and the potential for our surety providers to refuse bonding or require additional collateral at their discretion; increases in bad debt expense and days sales outstanding due to liquidity problems faced by our customers; changes in the assumptions made regarding future events used to value our stock options and performance-based stock awards; the recognition of potential goodwill, long-lived assets and other investment impairments; uncertainties inherent in estimating future operating results, including revenues, operating income or cash flow; disagreements with taxing authorities with regard to tax positions we have adopted; the recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions; complications associated with the incorporation of new accounting, control and operating procedures; the financial impact of new or proposed accounting regulations; 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; credit and capital market conditions, including changes in interest rates that affect the cost of construction financing and mortgages, and the inability for some of our customers to retain sufficient financing which could lead to project delays or cancellations; the sale or disposition of the shares of our common stock held by our majority shareholder, which, under certain circumstances, would trigger change of control provisions in contracts such as employment agreements and financing and surety arrangements; and additional closures or sales of facilities could result in significant future charges and a significant disruption of our operations. You should understand that the foregoing, 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, 2012 and the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are provided in this press release 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.
