Hughes Construction Company and Nitro Construction Services, announced financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. Energy Services earned revenues of $30.8 million and $74.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Douglas Reynolds, President, commented on the announcement. "The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, many of our customers have continued with projects and we are receiving new bid opportunities. Also, our employee count at June 30, 2020 was higher compared to March 31, 2020."
