For Immediate Release

MasTec Reports Increased Third Quarter Earnings on Strong Revenue Growth

 

   

Revenue Increased 37% to $865 Million

 

   

Revenue Increased Organically by 19%

 

   

Record Backlog Increased to $3.1 Billion vs. $2.3 Billion Last Year

 

   

EBITDA Increased 10% to $80 Million

 

   

$600 Million Expanded and Improved Bank Credit Facility Closed

Coral Gables, FL (November 3, 2011) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced record revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $865 million compared to $632 million for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 37%. Third quarter EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, was $80 million, an increase of 10% compared to $73 million a year ago. Third quarter fully diluted earnings per share was $0.36 compared to $0.35 for the third quarter of 2010.

Backlog at September 30, 2011 was at a record level of $3.1 billion, compared to $2.3 billion at the end of the third quarter a year ago.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall, we had another good quarter. Revenue growth of 37% for the quarter was excellent. Our organic revenue growth was 19%, and the growth was very broad based. All of our major markets had double-digit growth, with the exception of renewables. While we again hit our guidance, margins were negatively impacted by two factors. We had severe rain and wet terrain in the Marcellus Shale Basin late in the third quarter and we had lower-than-expected margins in our wireless business as a result of meeting our primary customer’s aggressive build plan.”

Mr. Mas continued, “Regarding the fourth quarter, most MasTec businesses should perform well, but we have two significant challenges. First, the rain and wet terrain conditions in the Marcellus Shale have worsened, and will have a greater negative impact on fourth quarter margins. Second, we are seeing less-than-previously-expected fourth quarter volume from our primary wireless customer, and that also will reduce fourth quarter margins. Despite a challenging fourth quarter we should be able to close out another great year of financial performance for MasTec.”

Mr. Mas concluded, “Looking forward, our third quarter backlog has reached record levels, we have received significant subsequent awards and the bidding environment in our markets remains strong. As I look at our increased backlog and the current pipeline for new work, I believe that the outlook for 2012 is excellent.”

C. Robert Campbell, MasTec’s Executive Vice President and CFO, added, “We closed an amended bank credit facility in the third quarter that extends the maturity to 5 years, increases our facility size from $260 million to $600 million and the new facility has an improved pricing grid and better overall terms. Our original intent was to seek a $400 million facility, but the demand was so strong and the pricing and terms were so compelling that we opted for a larger facility.”

Included in the year-to-date GAAP results in our 10-Q filing is a second quarter, non-cash, after-tax gain of $17.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, from the remeasurement of the Company’s 2010 initial 33% equity investment in EC Source, an electrical transmission construction company. Included in the attached financial information or in the 10-Q, are calculations of adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, excluding the second quarter remeasurement gain. These calculations, without the remeasurement gain, may be helpful for comparisons of year-to-date results.

Reflecting the impact of severe rain and wet terrain in the Marcellus Shale and lower-than-previously-expected fourth quarter wireless revenue, the Company’s fourth quarter guidance is revenue of $675 million, EBITDA of $46 million to $51 million and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.15. Guidance for the 2011 full year is revenue of $2.91 billion compared to $2.31 billion for 2010, a 26% increase. 2011 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $255 million to $260 million compared to $241 million a year ago, a 6-8% increase. MasTec expects 2011 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share of approximately $1.04 to $1.07 compared to $1.05 for 2010.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, November 4, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (719) 325-2341 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 4914188. The replay will be available for 30 days. Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.mastec.com.
