CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2015 third quarter financial results and updated its guidance for the balance of the year.

Third quarter 2015 revenue decreased 15.5% to $1.1 billion compared to $1.3 billion for the prior year quarter. Third quarter 2015 net income from continuing operations was $7.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $49.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter 2015 results include approximately $0.14 per diluted share for non-operating and non-core charges not included in prior year results, composed primarily of Audit committee investigation related costs, WesTower acquisition integration costs, a project loss related to a non-controlled joint venture and a settlement charge from a court mandated mediation related to a 2013 project dispute.

Third quarter 2015 adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $20.4 million compared to $52.0 million in 2014. Third quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.26, compared to $0.60 last year. Third quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $91.1 million compared to $138.3 million in 2014.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share and continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, exclude, as applicable, WesTower acquisition integration costs, Audit Committee investigation related costs, losses on a non-controlled joint venture, a settlement charge from a court mandated mediation related to a 2013 project dispute, the non-recurring impact on deferred tax liabilities resulting from an income tax law change in Alberta, Canada, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While we are disappointed with our results in 2015, we believe it will prove to be a transitional year. We continue to be very encouraged about our growth prospects for 2016 and beyond, with exciting opportunities in Oil & Gas, Wireless and Fiber network upgrades. Our current backlog is at record levels, reflecting an approximate $500 million increase during the quarter across multiple segments. Additionally, we expect continued significant backlog growth during the fourth quarter, including over $1.5 billion of additional oil & gas projects awarded to us, which we expect will be included in backlog during the fourth quarter when these contracts are fully executed."

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We continued our 2015 strong cash flow from operations performance during the quarter, with year to date cash flow from operations of $261 million, an increase of approximately $180 million compared to last year. We continue to believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of significant growth opportunities in the markets we serve in 2016 and beyond."

The Company currently estimates fiscal year 2015 revenue of $4.1 to $4.15 billion. Continuing operations adjusted EBITDA for 2015, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $295 to $305 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non–GAAP measure, at $0.53 to $0.60.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company expects revenue of approximately $0.9 to $1.0 billion. Fourth quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated between $70 to $80 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated between $0.10 to $0.17.

Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-0404 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 198550. The replay will be available for 30 days.
