For Immediate Release

MasTec Announces Strong Third Quarter Results

 

   

Quarterly Revenue Up 31%-All Organic, Non-Acquisition, Growth

 

   

Quarterly Continuing Operations Adjusted EPS of 53 Cents-Up 51%

 

   

Quarterly Continuing Operations Adjusted EBITDA of $101 Million-Up 31%

 

   

Quarterly Cash Flow from Operations of $119 Million

 

   

Discontinued Small Water and Sewer Business at a Loss

 

   

Recorded $9.6 Million Pre-Tax Charge for Potential Settlement of Legacy Spanish Litigation

Coral Gables, FL (November 1, 2012) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced third quarter financial results with significant improvement in continuing operations earnings and cash flow from operations. In addition, the Company’s third quarter revenue was at record levels, surpassing $1 billion in a quarter for the first time.

MasTec also announced plans to sell its small municipal water and sewer business, which has struggled in recent years. The Company recorded a $15.3 million pre-tax charge in the third quarter, reflected in discontinued operations, which includes the write-off of goodwill, the estimated loss on the sale of the business and losses from operations. The impact of this charge on fully diluted earnings per share was $0.12 for the third quarter.

Additionally, the Company recorded a $9.6 million third quarter pre-tax charge related to the legacy Sintel litigation, taking place in Spain, which dates back to 2001. The impact of this charge was $0.07 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2012.

Revenue for the third quarter was $1.067 billion compared to $816 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 31%. All of the growth was organic, or non-acquisition, and was led by power generation/industrial and by oil and gas pipeline and facilities.

Third quarter 2012 continuing operations diluted earnings per share was $0.45 compared to $0.35 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 29%. Excluding the $9.6 million pre-tax charge for the potential litigation settlement, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.53, compared to $0.35 last year, or an increase of 51%. Similarly, excluding the $9.6 million charge for the potential litigation settlement, third quarter continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a non-GAAP measure, was $101 million, compared to $77 million for the third quarter of 2011. The increase in continuing operations adjusted EBITDA was 31%. A reconciliation to GAAP basis reported earnings is attached.

Cash provided by operating activities for the third quarter of 2012 was $119 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $68 million in the third quarter of 2011, an improvement of $187 million over last year.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “MasTec had a terrific third quarter. We have excellent revenue and earnings momentum as we move into our final quarter. We also have had several significant contract wins recently, which is encouraging as we look toward 2013. Bidding activity remains strong, and while we are being selective on projects and pricing, we currently expect our success in winning profitable work to continue.”

C. Robert Campbell, MasTec’s Executive Vice President and CFO, added, “We were also pleased with the third quarter improvement in cash flow from operations and accounts receivables days sales outstanding (DSO’s). Our DSO’s were at 75 days which was an improvement of 7 days compared to the 2012 second quarter. Due to the strong financial performance and DSO improvement, cash flow from operations was a strong $119 million in the third quarter and we currently expect that cash flow from operations will also be strong for the fourth quarter.”

MasTec is adjusting its 2012 full year guidance to revenue of $3.66 billion, continuing operations adjusted EBITDA of $325 million and continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.50. The 2012 expected growth in revenue is 29%, the growth in continuing operations adjusted EBITDA is 33% and the growth in continuing operations adjusted earnings per share is 55%. Consistent with prior communications, MasTec, on a non-GAAP basis, has adjusted downward its reported 2011 earnings by eliminating the EC Source remeasurement gain and the Teamster pension withdrawal liability charge. A reconciliation to GAAP measures is attached.

For the final quarter of 2012, the Company currently expects revenue of $866 million, continuing operations EBITDA of $92 million and continuing operations diluted earnings per share of $0.45. A reconciliation to GAAP measures is attached.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, November 2, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-1417 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 4563558. 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.
