Acquired Edmonson Electric, adding to IES Residential capabilities

Overview of Results

“We are pleased with our third quarter results, which continued to demonstrate the benefits and strength of our end market and geographic diversification,” said Jeff Gendell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We reported strong year-over-year growth in revenue and profitability for the quarter, despite industry-wide supply chain constraints and significant raw materials price increases as the U.S. and global economies continue to recover. Notably, higher earnings contribution from our Infrastructure Solutions segment, increased Communications revenue as a result of strong demand, ongoing operating improvements within our Commercial & Industrial segment, and continued strong performance from our Residential business during the quarter all contributed to our improved results compared with the prior year.”

Mr. Gendell continued, “Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 38% over the prior year, reflecting strong demand and the benefit of acquisitions completed in fiscal 2021, with all four of our operating segments experiencing substantial top-line growth year-over-year. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 60% over the prior year, driven by strong execution by our operating teams. Across our entire business, our employees continue to demonstrate dedication, resilience and creativity, enabling us to grow our profitability and market share in a dynamic environment.”

For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Communications segment reported revenue of $116.2 million, a 20% increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2020, driven primarily by increased demand from our data center and distribution center customers. Operating income for the Communications segment increased 5% year-over-year to $9.9 million, as higher revenue was partially offset by increased personnel costs, particularly in estimating and project management, as we continue to invest in our capabilities to support future growth opportunities. In addition, selling expenses increased this quarter as travel and other activities that were curtailed in response to the pandemic began to return to a more normal level.

The Residential segment's revenue was $186.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of 73% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2020, reflecting the contribution of businesses acquired during fiscal 2021, strength in our single-family business and the impact of price increases in connection with higher material costs. Operating income for IES’s Residential segment was $11.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of 23% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020, as benefits of higher revenue were partly offset by substantially increased input prices including copper, electrical components, and other materials, as well as the impact of intangible amortization on businesses acquired in fiscal 2021.

Revenue in the Infrastructure Solutions segment increased 22% to $39.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020, driven primarily by increased demand for our custom power solutions. The segment’s operating income increased 25% to

2





$4.8 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily reflecting higher year-over-year revenue and strong execution.

The Commercial & Industrial segment reported revenue of $64.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of 13% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The segment reported operating income of $1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with a loss of $4.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The improvement in operating performance primarily resulted from the increase in revenue, improved project execution and a focus on controlling costs. Although the market remains highly competitive, we have begun to see a return to more typical levels of activity in the awarding of new contracts.

Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We believe that our strong balance sheet has been a competitive advantage in this period of supply chain uncertainties and escalating raw materials prices, as we have strategically invested in inventory in anticipation of customer needs. As supply chain issues are resolved, we expect to see inventory return to more normal levels. In addition, our cash generation and financial position continue to allow us to execute on our strategic objectives.

“During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Edmonson Electric, a leading provider of residential electric, low voltage, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) installation services in Florida. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we have invested a total of $93 million of cash to complete four acquisitions, increasing our market share, extending our geographic presence and expanding our capabilities across multiple end markets.

“We continue to be optimistic as we look toward the remainder of fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022, despite ongoing uncertainties relating to the supply chain, input costs and the trajectory of COVID-19. Our operating segments remain focused on executing their business, improving operational efficiencies and driving profitable growth, while our strong financial position provides us the flexibility to take advantage of organic and strategic growth opportunities that may arise.”

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Elizabeth Leykum was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors, bringing over 20 years of investment and financial management experience, as well as corporate governance expertise, to IES. In addition, during the quarter, the Board of Directors approved the accelerated expiration of the Company’s NOL Rights Plan, effective May 21, 2021.

Stock Buyback Plan
In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and announced a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock from time to time, and on May 2, 2019, authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 1.0 million shares. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares under this program. The Company had 993,825 shares remaining under its stock repurchase authorization at June 30, 2021.

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 or significant expenses associated with leadership changes, 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 June 30, 2021, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by August 5, 2021, and any amendments thereto.

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 release. 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. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments This document includes adjusted net income per share and backlog, and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included herein, adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted earnings per share attributable to IES, 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 per share, adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted earnings per share attributable to IES, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income before taxes, distinguishing certain nonrecurring events such as litigation settlements or significant expenses associated with leadership changes, or noncash events, such as 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 document. 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 annual report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by August 5, 2021, and any amendments thereto. General information about IES Holdings, Inc. can be found at http://www.ies-co.com under "Investor Relations." The Company's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments to those reports, are available free of charge through the Company's website as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
