DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed "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:

•

the ability of our controlling shareholder to take action not aligned with other shareholders;

•

the sale or disposition of the shares of our common stock held by our controlling shareholder, which, under certain circumstances, would trigger change of control provisions in our severance plan or financing and surety arrangements; or any other substantial sale of our common stock, which could depress our stock price;

•

relatively low liquidity levels of our common stock, which could depress our stock price;

•

the possibility that we issue additional shares of common stock or convertible securities that will dilute the percentage ownership interest of existing stockholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock;

•

the possibility that certain tax benefits of our net operating losses may be restricted or reduced in a change in ownership;

•

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;

•

limitations on the availability of sufficient credit or cash flow to fund our working capital needs and capital expenditures and debt service;

•

difficulty in fulfilling the covenant terms of our credit facilities;

•

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;

•

challenges integrating new businesses into the Company or new types of work, products or processes into our segments;

•

fluctuations in operating activity due to downturns in levels of construction, seasonality and differing regional economic conditions;

•

a general reduction in the demand for our services;

•

a change in the mix of our customers, contracts or business;

•

our ability to enter into, and the terms of, future contracts;

•

our ability to successfully manage projects;

•

the possibility of errors when estimating revenue and progress to date on percentage-of-completion contracts;

•

closures or sales of facilities resulting in significant future charges, including potential warranty losses or other unexpected liabilities, or a significant disruption of our operations;

•

inaccurate estimates used when entering into fixed-priced contracts;

•

the cost and availability of qualified labor;

•

an 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;

Table of Contents

•

increases in bad debt expense and days sales outstanding due to liquidity problems faced by our customers;

•

the recognition of potential goodwill, long-lived assets and other investment impairments;

•

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;

•

accidents resulting from the physical hazards associated with our work and the potential for accidents;

•

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;

•

success in transferring, renewing and obtaining electrical and construction licenses;

•

backlog that may not be realized or may not result in profits;

•

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 possibility that our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that could occur;

•

the effect of litigation, claims and contingencies, including warranty losses, damages or other latent defect claims in excess of our existing reserves and accruals;

•

growth in latent defect litigation in states where we provide residential electrical work for home builders not otherwise covered by insurance;

•

the possibility that our current insurance coverage may not be adequate or that we may not be able to obtain a policy at acceptable rates;

•

future capital expenditures and refurbishment, repair and upgrade costs; and delays in and costs of refurbishment, repair and upgrade projects; and

•

liabilities under laws and regulations protecting the environment.

You should understand that the foregoing, as well as other risk factors discussed in this document and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those experienced previously or those expressed in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any information, including information concerning our 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 report. Forward-looking statements are provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.

1. BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of the Business

Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. is a holding company that owns and manages operating subsidiaries in business activities across a variety of markets. Our operations are currently organized into four principal business segments, based upon the nature of our current products and services:

•

Communications – Nationwide provider of products and services for mission critical infrastructure, such as data centers, of large corporations.

•

Residential – Regional provider of electrical installation services for single-family housing and multi-family apartment complexes, including installation of residential solar power.

•

Commercial & Industrial – Provider of electrical design, construction, and maintenance services for commercial and industrial projects nationwide.

•

Infrastructure Solutions - Provider of services to industrial and rail customers, and electrical and mechanical solutions to domestic and international customers.

The words "IES", the "Company", "we", "our", and "us" refer to Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. and, except as otherwise specified herein, to our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

Results of operations from our Residential construction segment are seasonal, depending on weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated during spring and summer and lower revenues during fall and winter, with an impact from precipitation in the warmer months. The Communications, Commercial & Industrial, and Infrastructure Solutions segments of our business are less subject to seasonal trends, as work in these segments generally is performed inside structures protected from the weather, although weather can still impact these businesses, especially in the early stages of projects. Our service and maintenance business is generally not affected by seasonality. In addition, the construction industry has historically been highly cyclical. Our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in construction projects resulting from adverse regional or national economic conditions. Quarterly results may also be materially affected by the timing of new construction projects. Results for our Infrastructure Solutions segment may be affected by the timing of outages at our customers' facilities. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal period.

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IES and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the SEC. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein. Any such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,

Table of Contents

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All Amounts in Thousands Except Share Amounts)

disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition of construction in progress, fair value assumptions in analyzing goodwill, investments, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, reserves for legal matters, assumptions regarding estimated costs to exit certain segments, realizability of deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits and self-insured claims liabilities and related reserves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February, 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to consolidations. The new standard amends the guidelines for determining whether certain legal entities should be consolidated, and reduces the number of consolidation models. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and is required to be adopted retrospectively. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER

Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. together with its affiliates (collectively "Tontine") was the Company's controlling shareholder, and owned 62.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock at June 30, 2015. Accordingly, Tontine has the ability to exercise significant control over our affairs, including the election of directors and most actions requiring the approval of shareholders.

While Tontine is subject to restrictions under federal securities laws on sales of its shares as an affiliate, in 2013 Tontine delivered a request to the Company pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement for registration of all of its shares of IES common stock held at that time, and on February 21, 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement to register those of Tontine's shares. The shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 18, 2013. As long as the shelf registration statement remains effective, Tontine has the ability to resell any or all of its registered shares from time to time in one or more offerings, as described in the shelf registration statement and in any prospectus supplement filed in connection with an offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement.

Should Tontine sell or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its position in IES, a change in ownership could occur. A change in ownership, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, could reduce the availability of net operating losses ("NOLs") for federal and state income tax purposes. On January 28, 2013, the Company implemented a tax benefit protection plan (the "NOL Rights Plan") that is designed to deter an acquisition of the Company's stock in excess of a threshold amount that could trigger a change of ownership within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. There can be no assurance that the NOL Rights Plan will be effective in deterring a change of ownership or protecting the NOLs. Furthermore, a change in ownership would trigger the change of control provisions in a number of our material agreements, including our credit facility, bonding agreements with our sureties and our severance arrangements.

A member of the Company's Board of Directors since February, 2012, David B. Gendell has served as the Company's non-executive Chairman of the Board since January, 2015. Mr. Gendell, who is the brother of Jeffrey Gendell, the founder and managing member of Tontine, is also an employee of Tontine.

3. DEBT

At June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, our long-term debt of $10,214 and $10,208 relates to amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility, which matures on August 9, 2018. Our interest rate on these borrowings was 2.38% at June 30, 2015 and 3.25% at September 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, we also had $6,918 in outstanding letters of credit, and total availability of $14,852 under this facility without violating our financial covenant. There have been no changes to the financial covenants disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the carrying value of amounts outstanding on our revolving loan approximated fair value, as debt incurs interest at a variable rate. The fair value of the debt is classified as a level 2 measurement.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, zero and 150,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of fully diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average price of our common stock. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, the average price of our common shares exceeded the exercise price of all of our outstanding options.

On August 7, 2014, we completed a rights offering of common stock to our stockholders at a subscription price that was lower than the market price of our common stock at closing of the offering. For information on the rights offering, please see "Note 11 – Stockholders Equity" in our Form 10-K. The rights offering was deemed to contain a bonus element that is similar to a stock dividend, requiring us to adjust the weighted average number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in prior periods retrospectively by a factor of 1.0340. Basic and diluted weighted average shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014 prior to giving effect to the rights offering were 17,857,422 and 17,912,252, respectively. Basic and diluted weighted average shares for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 prior to giving effect to the rights offering were 17,843,885 and 17,900,991, respectively.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Program

Treasury Stock

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we repurchased 16,784 common shares from our employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of restricted stock issued under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated). We issued 194,000 shares out of treasury stock under our share-based compensation programs for restricted shares granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2015. We issued 2,485 unrestricted shares out of treasury stock to members of our Board of Directors as part of their overall compensation. We issued 8,309 shares of treasury stock as payment for outstanding phantom stock units that vested upon the departure of the Company's Chairman and CEO in January 2015.

Pursuant to the repurchase program described above, we repurchased 429,541 shares of our common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, of which 3,450 were purchased in open market transactions at average price of $7.09, and of which 426,091 shares were purchased from a single unrelated, third party shareholder at a purchase price of $7.25 per share. The aggregate cash purchase price of all shares repurchased under the program during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, was $3,113.

Restricted Stock

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $127 and $32, respectively, in compensation expense related to our restricted stock awards. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $153 and $170, respectively, related to these awards. At June 30, 2015, the unamortized compensation cost related to outstanding unvested restricted stock was $1,421.

(All Amounts in Thousands Except Share Amounts)

Phantom Stock Units

Phantom stock units ("PSUs") are primarily granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors as part of their overall compensation. These PSUs are paid via unrestricted stock grants to each non-employee director upon their departure from the Board of Directors. We record compensation expense for the full value of the grant on the date of grant. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $140 and $36 in compensation expense related to these grants. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $200 and $207 in compensation expense related to these grants.

Stock Options

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized compensation expense of $19 and $42, respectively, related to our stock option awards. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $(61) and $184, respectively, in compensation expense related to our stock option awards. The net benefit in 2015 relates to a revision in forfeiture assumptions upon the departure of the Company's Chairman and CEO in January 2015, at which time he forfeited unvested stock options. At June 30, 2015, the unamortized compensation cost related to outstanding unvested stock options was $99.

7. SECURITIES AND EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, investments, accounts payable, and a loan agreement. We believe that the carrying value of these financial instruments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. Additionally, we have a cost method investment in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P. ("EnerTech"). We estimate the fair value of our investment in EnerTech (Level 3) using quoted market prices for underlying publicly traded securities, and estimated enterprise values are determined using cash flow projections and market multiples of the underlying non-public companies.

Investment in EnerTech

The following table presents the reconciliation of the carrying value and unrealized gains to the fair value of the investment in EnerTech as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014:


	June 30,		September 30,
	2015		2014
Carrying value	$	919	$	919
Unrealized gains		80		94

Fair value	$	999	$	1,013

At each reporting date, the Company performs evaluations of impairment for this investment to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. There was no impairment for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

EnerTech's general partner, with the consent of the fund's investors, has extended the fund through December 31, 2015. The fund will terminate on this date unless extended by the fund's valuation committee. The fund may be extended for another one-year period through December 31, 2016 with the consent of the fund's valuation committee.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan

The Company offers employees the opportunity to participate in its 401(k) savings plans. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $100 and $91, respectively, in matching expense. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $283 and $267, respectively, in matching expense.

Post Retirement Benefit Plans

Certain individuals at one of the Company's locations are entitled to receive fixed annual payments pursuant to post retirement benefit plans. We had an unfunded benefit liability of $871 recorded as of June 30, 2015 and $853 as of September 30, 2014, related to such plans.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurement Accounting

Fair value is considered the price to sell an asset, or transfer a liability, between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

At June 30, 2015, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were limited to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, under which certain employees are permitted to defer a portion of their base salary and/or bonus for a Plan Year.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015, are summarized in the following table by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:


	June 30, 2015
	Total Fair Value			Quoted Prices (Level 1)			Significant Unobservable (Level 3)
Executive savings plan assets	$	662		$	662		$	-
Executive savings plan liabilities		(550	)		(550	)		-

Total	$	112		$	112		$	-

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014, are summarized in the following table by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:


	September 30, 2014
	Total Fair Value			Quoted Prices (Level 1)			Significant Unobservable (Level 3)
Executive savings plan assets	$	625		$	625		$	-
Executive savings plan liabilities		(512	)		(512	)		-

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

From time to time we are a party to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We maintain various insurance coverages to minimize financial risk associated with these proceedings. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to all such proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We expense routine legal costs related to these proceedings as they are incurred.

The following is a discussion of our significant legal matters:

Ward Transformer Site

Private Action

In April 2009, Carolina Power and Light Company and Consolidation Coal Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (Western Division) against a number of entities, including one of our subsidiaries, to recover costs to remove Polychlorinated Byphenyls ("PCB") contamination at Ward Transformer, an electric transformer resale and reconditioning facility located in Raleigh, North Carolina (the "Private Action"). Plaintiffs had been ordered under a settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") to clean up the onsite contamination, including the groundwater underneath the facility, and were seeking to recover costs associated with the clean-up from other potentially responsible parties ("PRPs"). Plaintiffs allege that our subsidiary had sent transformers to the site prior to our acquisition of the subsidiary. Based on our investigation to date, there is evidence to support our defense that our subsidiary contributed no PCB contamination to the site. As part of a court-ordered mediation process in this litigation, the Company is participating in settlement negotiations with plaintiffs. Based on negotiations to date, the Company expects that any payments associated with settlement of this matter would not result in a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position, and no liability has been accrued as of June 30, 2015.

EPA Action

Contamination outside of and downstream from the Ward Transformer site is not subject to the Private Action. The EPA has not yet assessed costs for that portion of the remediation, and has not entered into any settlement agreement with any party to begin clean-up. In late 2008, the EPA selected approximately 50 PRPs to which it sent a Special Notice Letter to organize the clean-up of soils and ground water off-site. We were not a recipient of that letter. However, in 2013, the EPA held a settlement conference to discuss potential clean-up and included the 50 letter recipients and other PRPs identified in the Private Action, including the Company. No settlement was reached and the extent of any off-site contamination remains unknown. As of June 30, 2015, we have not recorded a reserve for this matter, as we believe the likelihood of our responsibility for damages is not probable and a potential range of exposure is not estimable.

Hamilton Wage and Hour

The Company is a defendant in three wage-and-hour suits seeking class action certification that were filed between August 29, 2012 and June 24, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Each of these cases is among several others filed by Plaintiffs' attorney against contractors working in the Port Arthur, Texas Motiva plant on various projects over the last few years. The claims are based on alleged failure to compensate for time spent bussing to and from a work site, donning safety wear and other activities. In a separate earlier case based on the same allegations, a federal district court ruled that the time spent traveling on the busses is not compensable. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the district court's ruling, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review plaintiffs' appeal of the Fifth Circuit dismissal.

To date, no other plaintiffs have joined the suit, and the statute of limitations precludes any new claimants from seeking recovery against the Company, as the Company's employees stopped working at the project over two years ago. Due to the absence of any exposure beyond the named plaintiffs, and the limited exposure for any time spent bussing into the facility, the Company expects any payments associated with the settlement of this matter would not result in a material impact on the company's results of operations or financial position. As such, we have not recorded a reserve for this matter as of June 30, 2015.

Risk-Management

We retain the risk for workers' compensation, employer's liability, automobile liability, construction defects, general liability and employee group health claims, as well as pollution coverage, resulting from uninsured deductibles per accident or occurrence which are generally subject to annual aggregate limits. Our general liability program provides coverage for bodily injury and property

(All Amounts in Thousands Except Share Amounts)

damage. In many cases, we insure third parties, including general contractors, as additional insureds under our insurance policies. Losses up to the deductible amounts, or losses that are not covered under our policies, are accrued based upon our known claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. As a result, many of our claims are effectively self-insured. Many claims against our insurance are in the form of litigation. At June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had $3,990 and $4,560, respectively, accrued for insurance liabilities. We are also subject to construction defect liabilities, primarily within our Residential segment. As of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had $498 and $569, respectively, reserved for these claims. Because the reserves are based on judgment and estimates, and involve variables that are inherently uncertain, such as the outcome of litigation and an assessment of insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not be higher or lower than such estimates or that the timing of payments will not create liquidity issues for the Company.

Some of the underwriters of our casualty insurance program require us to post letters of credit as collateral. This is common in the insurance industry. To date, we have not had a situation where an underwriter has had reasonable cause to effect payment under a letter of credit. At both June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, $6,347 of our outstanding letters of credit was utilized to collateralize our insurance program.

Surety

As of June 30, 2015, the estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $65,800. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis, including the terms offered by our sureties. We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by our current sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future. Posting letters of credit in favor of our sureties reduces the borrowing availability under our credit facility.

Receivable from Surety

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we fully reserved for a $1,725 receivable owed to us by a former surety. We subsequently received $550 in recoveries associated with the receivable during 2013, which we classified as other income within our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the year ended September 30, 2013. We currently do not expect any significant additional recovery of amounts owed to us by this surety. Any potential subsequent recovery will be included in other income.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Some of our customers and vendors require us to post letters of credit as a means of guaranteeing performance under our contracts and ensuring payment by us to subcontractors and vendors. If our customer has reasonable cause to effect payment under a letter of credit, we would be required to reimburse our creditor for the letter of credit. At June 30, 2015, $571 of our outstanding letters of credit were to collateralize our vendors.

From time to time, we may enter into firm purchase commitments for materials such as copper or aluminum wire which we expect to use in the ordinary course of business. These commitments are typically for terms of less than one year and require us to buy minimum quantities of materials at specific intervals at a fixed price over the term. As of June 30, 2015, we had a $112 commitment outstanding for the purchase of copper wire. We expect this wire to be purchased and used within the current fiscal year.

13. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On May 21, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. ("Magnetech") acquired all of the common stock and certain related real estate of Southern Industrial Sales and Services, Inc. ("Southern Rewinding"), a Columbus, Georgia-based motor repair and related field services company, for total consideration of $3,937. Of that amount, $3,137 was paid at closing. Additional consideration of $800 is scheduled to be paid through the period ending November, 2016, subject to Magnetech's right to hold back certain amounts in respect of seller obligations. After closing, we provided the newly-acquired entity with $1,065 of working capital. Southern Rewinding is included in our Infrastructure Solutions segment.

The Company accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires recording assets and liabilities at fair value (Level 3). The valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by management are preliminary pending finalization of certain intangible asset valuations. While management believes that its preliminary estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different values being assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts recorded. The preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 21, 2015 is as follows:


Current assets	$	1,225
Property and equipment		911
Intangible assets (primarily customer relationships)		1,700
Non-tax-deductible goodwill		1,532
Current liabilities		(1,431	)

Net assets acquired	$	3,937

Pro forma revenues and results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, set forth in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," each as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014 and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward looking statements. For additional information, see "Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements" in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

Executive Overview

Please refer to Item 1, "Business" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, for a discussion of the Company's services and corporate strategy. Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company that owns and manages diverse operating subsidiaries, comprised of providers of industrial products and infrastructure services to a variety of end markets. Our operations are currently organized into four principal business segments: Communications, Residential, Commercial & Industrial, and Infrastructure Solutions.

Business Combination

On May 21, 2015, a wholly-owned subsidiary in our Infrastructure Solutions segment, Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. ("Magnetech"), acquired all of the common stock and certain related real estate of Southern Industrial Sales and Services, Inc. ("Southern Rewinding"), a Columbus, Georgia-based motor repair and related field services company, for total consideration of $3.9 million. Of that amount, $3.1 million was paid at closing, with additional consideration of $0.8 million scheduled to be paid through the period ending November, 2016, subject to Magnetech's right to hold back certain amounts in respect of seller obligations. After closing, we provided the newly-acquired entity with $1.1 million of working capital. Based on the strategic location of the facility, it will complement our existing Alabama facility, allowing us to expand our offerings to our Gulf Coast customers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We report our operating results across our four operating segments: Communications, Residential, Commercial & Industrial and Infrastructure Solutions. Expenses associated with our Corporate office are classified as a fifth segment. The following table presents selected historical results of operations of IES.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs not directly associated with performing work for our customers. These costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits related to corporate, segment and branch management (including incentive-based compensation), occupancy and utilities, training, professional services, information technology costs, consulting fees, costs associated with acquisitions, travel and certain types of depreciation and amortization. We allocate certain corporate selling, general and administrative costs across our segments as we believe this more accurately reflects the costs associated with operating each segment.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $20.5 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 7.5%, over the three months ended June 30, 2014. Higher personnel and incentive costs directly attributable to increased activity and profitability were the primary drivers of the increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 14.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 14.3%, primarily as a result of higher employment costs.

Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 were $37.6 million higher than for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 10.0%. Revenues increased at our Communications, Residential and Commercial & Industrial segments, slightly offset by a decrease at our Infrastructure Solutions segment.

Our overall gross profit percentage increased to 16.8% during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 16.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue improved at all of our segments.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $58.7 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.0%, over the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily resulted from higher personnel and incentive costs directly attributable to increased activity and profitability, partly offset by lower costs at our Corporate segment, where we incurred one-time search and severance costs of $0.3 million in connection with the replacement of the President of our Infrastructure Solutions segment, as well as higher professional services costs, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased from 14.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to 14.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as we benefitted from increased levels of activity.

Revenue. Our Residential segment revenues increased by $3.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 7.2% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. Single-family construction revenues increased by $1.7 million, primarily in Texas, where the economy has experienced continued growth and population expansion. We continue to monitor how growth and population expansion in this region may be affected by changes to the oil and gas sector due to declining oil prices; we believe that sustained low levels of oil prices may result in a tapering of regional growth and lower revenues in this segment of our business. Cable and service revenues increased by $1.2 million, and revenues for multi-family construction increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased demand, across all areas where we operate. Revenue from solar installations also increased year over year.

Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, our Residential segment experienced a $0.7 million, or 6.9%, increase in gross profit as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by single-family projects, where profitability increased in spite of rainy weather, which caused some delays in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. As demand has increased within the single-family business, profitability has increased, as a higher volume of activity contributed to our ability to improve operating efficiency. In addition, our multi-family business also experienced an increase in gross margins due to an increase in project efficiency for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our Residential segment experienced a $0.4 million, or 5.2%, increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 primarily as a result of higher compensation and incentive costs associated with increased profitability.

Revenue. Our Residential segment revenues increased by $18.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 14.3% as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was driven by single-family construction revenues, which increased by $9.2 million, primarily in Texas, where the economy has experienced continued growth and population expansion. Revenues from multi-family construction also improved, increasing by $6.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased demand, across all areas where we operate.

Gross profit increased primarily due to a higher volume of single-family projects. Gross margin percentage increased within single-family, as demand for single-family housing has increased and efficiency has improved. However, the increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue for our single-family business was partly offset by project inefficiencies within our multi-family business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

Revenue. Revenues in our Infrastructure Solutions segment decreased $2.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 6.2% compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was driven by a reduction in demand for our engine components services by certain of our large rail customers.

Gross Profit . Our Infrastructure Solutions segment's gross profit during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 remained unchanged, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 21.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to 22.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. Although revenues were down, we were able to improve our margins through a focus on workflow and process improvement, as well as cost management, during our first full year of ownership of this operating segment. However, as a result of the decrease in engine components revenue, which typically has the highest margins of the work performed by our Infrastructure Solutions segment, our overall gross profit has decreased after giving effect to additional cost of $0.6 included in results for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, associated with the sale of inventory that was written up to fair value in purchase accounting upon the acquisition of MISCOR Group, LTD. in September of 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our Infrastructure Solutions segment's selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $0.3 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of lower compensation costs in connection with a focus on managing costs and improving efficiency.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes decreased from $422 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $339 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included additional expense related to an increase in the estimated tax rate for the full year.

Our provision for income taxes increased from $465 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to $908 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is attributable to an increase in income from continuing operations before taxes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, write-downs for obsolete inventory, income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets, and contingencies and litigation.

Table of Contents

We establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based on a standard of whether it is more likely than not that the assets will fail to result in a future reduction of taxes paid. Our ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the periods provided by tax regulations for the applicable tax jurisdiction. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and tax planning strategies. When assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, including the nature and magnitude of our cumulative losses in recent years, duration of carryforward periods, and our financial outlook.

After a prolonged period of operating losses spanning many years, the Company has reported income for the year ended September 30, 2014 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. To the extent that profitability continues, our conclusion regarding the amount of valuation allowances required could change, resulting in the reversal of a portion of our valuation allowances. Such a reversal, if one were to occur, would result in a benefit to earnings. At September 30, 2014, federal and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances were $117,059 and $4,819, respectively.

WORKING CAPITAL

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, working capital increased by $1.9 million from September 30, 2014, reflecting a $7.1 million increase in current assets and a $5.2 million increase in current liabilities during the period.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, our current assets increased to $175.0 million, as compared to $168.0 million as of September 30, 2014. The current trade accounts receivables, net, increased by $5.1 million at June 30, 2015, as compared to September 30, 2014, driven by an increase in revenue. Days sales outstanding ("DSOs") were 54 at both June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. While the rate of collections may vary, our secured position, resulting from our ability to secure liens against our customers' overdue receivables, reasonably assures that collection will occur eventually to the extent that our security retains value. Inventory decreased $2.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014, due primarily to the timing of materials usage on certain of our Commercial & Industrial jobs, as well as a decrease in solar power inventory at our Residential segment.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, our total current liabilities increased by $5.2 million to $101.1 million, compared to $95.9 million as of September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of billings in excess of costs, which increased by $4.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014, in connection with increased levels of activity.

Surety

We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by our sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2015, the estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $65.8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $44.8 million, working capital of $74.0 million, and $6.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facility. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash flows, and available capacity under our 2012 Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital needs, debt service requirements and capital expenditures for property and equipment through the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash flow is dependent on many factors, including demand for our services, the availability of projects at margins acceptable to us, the ultimate collectability of our receivables, and our ability to borrow on our 2012 Credit Facility, if needed.

We continue to closely monitor the financial markets and general national and global economic conditions. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted in the future by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $60 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that matures in August 2018. We entered into the credit facility in August 2012 and most recently amended it in September 2014 (as amended, the "2012 Credit Facility"). The 2012 Credit

Table of Contents

Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. At June 30, 2015, we were subject to the financial covenant under the 2012 Credit Facility requiring, at any time that our Liquidity (the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand plus Excess Availability, as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement dated September 24, 2014, under the 2012 Credit Facility (the "Amended Credit Agreement")) is less than $20 million or our Excess Availability is less than $5 million, that we maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0. At June 30, 2015, 2015, our Liquidity was $44.8 million and our Excess Availability was $14.9 million, and as such, we were not required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0:1.0 as of such date. Nonetheless, at June 30, 2015, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 7.4:1.0. Compliance with our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, while not required at June 30, 2015, provides us with the ability to use cash on hand or to draw on our 2012 Credit Facility such that we can fall below the Excess Availability and Liquidity minimum thresholds described above without violating our financial covenant.

Our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as (i) our trailing twelve month EBITDA (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility), less non-financed capital expenditures (other than capital expenditures financed by means of an advance under the 2012 Credit Facility) cash taxes and certain pass-through tax liabilities, divided by (ii) the sum of our cash interest and principal debt payments (other than repayment of principal on advances under the 2012 Credit Facility) and all Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility) (other than pass-through tax liabilities) and other cash distributions. As defined in the 2012 Credit Facility, EBITDA is calculated as consolidated net income (or loss), less extraordinary gains, interest income, non-operating income and income tax benefits and decreases in any change in LIFO reserves, plus stock compensation expense, non-cash extraordinary losses, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and increases in any change in LIFO reserves.

If in the future our Liquidity or Excess Availability fall below $20 million or $5 million, respectively, and at that time our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.0:1.0, or if we otherwise fail to perform or otherwise comply with certain of our covenants or other agreements under our 2012 Credit Facility, it would result in an event of default under our 2012 Credit Facility, which could result in some or all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable.

At June 30, 2015, we had $14.9 million under the 2012 Credit Facility that was available to us without triggering or violating our financial covenant, $6.9 million in outstanding letters of credit with Wells Fargo and outstanding borrowings of $10.2 million. Our interest rate on borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility revolver was 2.38% at June 30, 2015.

Operating Activities

Our cash flow from operations is not only influenced by cyclicality, demand for our services, operating margins and the type of services we provide, but can also be influenced by working capital needs such as the timing of our receivable collections. Working capital needs are generally lower during our fiscal first and second quarters due to the seasonality that we experience in many regions of the country.

Operating activities provided net cash of $6.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $5.7 million of net cash provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily the result of increased earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014. This increase was partly offset by $1.1 million used pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities at our newly acquired Southern Rewinding facility immediately upon closing this acquisition, as the business did not have sufficient liquidity to fund its ongoing working capital needs at the closing date.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Purchases of fixed assets used $2.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $1.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, we used $3.1 million for the acquisition of the Southern Rewinding facility in the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used net cash of $3.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.8 million used in the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 included $3.2 million of stock repurchases. Common stock of $3.1 million was repurchased from an unrelated, third-party investor and in open market transactions, pursuant to the stock repurchase plan described below. Financing activities included additional $0.1 million for the repurchase of common stock to satisfy payroll tax obligations. Financing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 included $2.6 million in payments on a term loan under our 2012 Credit Facility, and $0.2 million for the repurchase of common stock to satisfy payroll tax obligations.

Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 4, 2015, IES's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for purchasing up to 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock from time to time. Share purchases will be made for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of purchases under the program will be determined based upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or reinstated at any time at the Company's discretion and without notice. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 3,450 shares of common stock for an average of $7.09 per share pursuant to the program in open market purchases for a total aggregate purchase price of $24 thousand. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for details of stock repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management is actively involved in monitoring exposure to market risk and continues to develop and utilize appropriate risk management techniques. Our exposure to significant market risks includes fluctuations in commodity prices for copper, aluminum, steel and fuel. Commodity price risks may have an impact on our results of operations due to the fixed price nature of many of our contracts. We are also exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our outstanding debt obligations on the 2012 Credit Facility. For additional information see " Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements " in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Commodity Risk

Our exposure to significant market risks includes fluctuations in commodity prices for copper, aluminum, steel and fuel. Commodity price risks may have an impact on our results of operations due to the fixed nature of many of our contracts. Over the long-term, we expect to be able to pass along a portion of these costs to our customers, as market conditions in the construction industry will allow. The Company has not entered into any commodity price risk hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk on our floating interest rate borrowings. Floating rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in market interest rates.

All of the long-term debt outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facility is structured on floating interest rate terms. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, our interest rate hedging arrangement expired under its terms, and we have not entered into any new hedging arrangements. A one percentage point increase in the interest rates on our long-term debt outstanding under our 2012 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2015 would cause a $0.1 million pre-tax annual increase in interest expense.

Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
