Following the onset of the pandemic and with the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe, there has been a high degree of volatility in commodity and energy markets that affect our client's businesses. In addition, inflation in the United States has reached multi-decade highs.
Added
To the extent we can, we mitigate these risks primarily by procuring materials upon contract execution to ensure that our purchase price approximates the costs included in the project estimate, and also by contract provisions that mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in material costs.
Removed
In some cases we have had to bid more competitively than before to win work, which has compressed margins somewhat given the higher inflation. It is uncertain how this market environment will impact our business, both positively or negatively.
Added
However, we may be unable to pass through some or all of these increases in costs to our customers which may materially affect our results of operations.

Based on this building momentum, the process of returning revenue volume to pre-pandemic levels is well underway. Accordingly, we are expecting revenue growth to be stronger in fiscal 2024 than it was in fiscal 2023.
Added
Despite these challenges, the company generated positive cash flows from operations during fiscal year 2024, which improved our overall cash balance by $60.8 million, reflecting our ability to efficiently manage capital and maintain financial stability.
Removed
In addition, growing revenue volume combined with cost reductions implemented in recent years should allow us to better leverage our cost structure, which will further enhance gross margins in fiscal 2024 and beyond.
Added
Combining expected forthcoming revenues from effective project execution and conversion of our historic backlog, we believe we are on a trajectory of upward growth and profitability.

(2) Calculated by dividing project awards by revenue recognized. In the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, backlog increased by 38.7% as we booked $354.5 million of project awards during fiscal 2023. This segment includes significant opportunities for storage infrastructure projects related to natural gas, LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, NGLs and other forms of renewable energy.
Added
For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months.
Removed
In the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment, backlog increased by 350.2% as we booked $527.0 million of project awards in fiscal 2023. Project awards are primarily comprised of a project for the engineering, procurement, and construction of LNG peak shaving facilities and power delivery work.
Added
(2) Backlog was reduced primarily to account for a reduction of work available to us under an existing refinery maintenance program. In the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, backlog increased by 194.9% as we booked $804.4 million of project awards during fiscal 2024.

Project opportunities and bidding activity are strong for both the power delivery portion of the business and LNG peak shaving.
Removed
On a segment basis, revenue increased in the Process and Industrial Facilities and Storage and Terminal Solutions segments by $115.0 million and $22.8 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $50.6 million in the Utility and Power Infrastructure segment.
Added
There is an inherent lag between the time a project is awarded and when it begins to have a material impact on revenue. This lag normally extends up to six months or longer in unique circumstances, depending on finalization of scopes, contracts, permits, and facility process requirements.
Removed
Consolidated gross profit was $30.8 million in fiscal 2023 compared to a gross loss of $1.2 million in fiscal 2022. Gross margin was 3.9% in fiscal 2023 compared to a negative gross margin of (0.2%) in fiscal 2022.
