Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of the Business MasTec, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “MasTec” or the “Company”) is a leading infrastructure construction company operating mainly throughout North America across a range of industries. The Company’s primary activities include the engineering, building, installation, maintenance and upgrade of communications, energy and utility infrastructure, such as: wireless, wireline/fiber, install-to-the-home and customer fulfillment activities; petroleum and natural gas pipeline infrastructure; electrical utility transmission and distribution; power generation; heavy civil; and industrial infrastructure. MasTec’s customers are primarily in these industries. MasTec reports its results under five reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Oil and Gas; (3) Electrical Transmission; (4) Power Generation and Industrial; and (5) Other. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2016 Form 10-K”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include MasTec, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that MasTec consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company’s investments in entities for which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but for which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as other long-term assets, or, for investments in a net liability position, within other long-term liabilities. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unincorporated entity, but the Company does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity. The cost method is used for investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence. Management determines whether each business entity in which it has equity interests, debt, or other investments constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on the nature and characteristics of such arrangements. If an investment arrangement is determined to be a VIE, then management determines if the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary by evaluating several factors, including the Company’s: (i) risks and responsibilities; (ii) ownership interests; (iii) decision making powers; and (iv) financial interests, among other factors. If management determines the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, then it would be consolidated, and other parties’ interests in the VIE would be accounted for as non-controlling interests. The primary beneficiary consolidating the VIE must normally have both (i) the power to direct the primary activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, which, in either case, could be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that certain of its investment arrangements were VIEs; however, because it does not have the power to direct the primary activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and accordingly, has not consolidated these VIEs. Translation of Foreign Currencies The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses accumulated within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in other income or expense, net. In these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Management Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss (which the Company defines as project revenue, less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation), in particular, on construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, for which the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to complete and the amount of probable contract price adjustments; allowances for doubtful accounts; estimated fair values of goodwill and intangible assets; acquisition-related contingent consideration and investments in equity investees; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; fair values of financial instruments; accrued self-insured claims; share-based compensation; other accruals and allowances; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of litigation and other contingencies. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition Revenue is derived from construction projects performed under master and other service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. The Company frequently provides services under unit price or fixed price master service or other service agreements. Revenue and related costs for master and other service agreements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects performed under master service and other service agreements totaled 32% and 38% of consolidated revenue for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and totaled 35% and 43% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company also performs services under master and other service agreements on a fixed fee basis, under which MasTec furnishes specified units of service for a fixed price per unit of service and revenue is recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts provides for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or specifications. Revenue from these contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to master and other service agreements, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered, which may be measured in terms of costs incurred, units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment. Much of the materials associated with the Company’s work are customer-furnished and are therefore not included in contract revenue and costs. The estimation process for revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized. For both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, project profit was affected by less than 5% as a result of changes in contract estimates included in projects that were in process as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The majority of fixed price contracts are completed within one year. The Company may incur costs subject to change orders, whether approved or unapproved by the customer, and/or claims related to certain contracts. Management determines the probability that such costs will be recovered based upon engineering studies and legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer. The Company treats such costs as a cost of contract performance in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered, and defers costs or recognizes revenue up to the amount of the related cost if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $77 million and $17 million, respectively, of change orders and/or claims that had been included as contract price adjustments on certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business, including through negotiation, arbitration and other proceedings. These contract price adjustments, which are included within costs and earnings in excess of billings or billed accounts receivable, as appropriate, represent management’s best estimate of contract revenue that has been earned and that management believes is probable of collection. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these change orders were primarily related to contracts in the Oil and Gas segment. The Company actively engages in substantive meetings with its customers to complete the final approval process, and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year. The amounts ultimately realized upon final acceptance by its customers could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts. Billings In Excess of Costs and Earnings (“BIEC”) on uncompleted contracts is classified within current liabilities. Costs and Earnings In Excess of Billings (“CIEB”), which is also referred to as work in process, is classified within current assets. Work in process on contracts is based on work performed but not yet billed to customers as per individual contract terms. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements There have been no changes in the expected dates of adoption or estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of recently issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. See below for additional discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting model in Topic 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also simplifies certain documentation and assessment requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. All transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption and their effects should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The presentation and disclosure requirements are effective on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Limited and administrative modifications that do not change the value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award are exempt from following the modification guidance in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income- Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies certain guidance under Subtopic 610-20 that was issued as part of the new revenue standard, including the recognition of gains and losses on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, and clarifies accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures, among other requirements. ASU 2017-05 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of this ASU is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use judgment and make estimates when evaluating contract terms and other relevant facts and circumstances. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective using either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition approach for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued several accounting standards updates to clarify certain topics within ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, and its related clarifying ASUs, as of January 1, 2018. The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the potential effects of these ASUs on its consolidated financial statements, business processes, systems and controls. The Company’s assessment included a detailed review of representative contracts at each of the Company’s business units and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Based on the Company’s review of various types of revenue arrangements, the Company expects to recognize revenue and earnings over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its fixed price contracts and certain master service and other service agreements, consistent with current practice. For these contracts, the cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer under the new standard. The Company has substantially completed its analysis of the information necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures under the new standard. As part of this analysis, the Company evaluated its information technology capabilities and systems, and does not expect to incur significant information technology costs to modify systems currently in place. The Company will implement targeted changes to its internal reporting processes to facilitate gathering the data needed for reporting and disclosure under the new standard. The Company will also implement updates to its control processes and procedures, as necessary, based on changes resulting from the new standard. The Company does not expect any such updates to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, the new standard would apply to all new contracts initiated on or after January 1, 2018. For existing contracts that have remaining obligations as of January 1, 2018, any difference between the recognition criteria in these ASUs and the Company’s current revenue recognition practices would be recognized using a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Any potential effect of adoption of these ASUs has not yet been quantified; however, based on the review of contracts across all of the Company’s business units to date, the adoption of these ASUs is not expected to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue recognized as compared to current practices. The Company is training its business units for the implementation of the new standard, and continues developing the disclosures required by the new standard. The Company is also reviewing certain contracts entered into by its business units subsequent to its initial assessment that are expected to have performance obligations remaining as of January 1, 2018 for any cumulative effect adjustments that may be required upon adoption. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of January 1, 2017 The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”) effective January 1, 2017. Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) or tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) are recognized in the income statement, rather than as additional paid-in-capital as under the previous guidance, and are presented as operating cash flows, rather than as a financing activity. This ASU also increased the amount of tax that can be withheld by an employer for employee tax withholdings without resulting in liability classification of an award. Payments to taxing authorities for such employee withholdings are presented as financing activities. ASU 2016-09 also allows companies to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur or to estimate such amounts. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 that were applicable to the Company were adopted on a prospective basis; the retrospective requirement to classify payments to taxing authorities for employee withholdings as a financing activity was consistent with the Company’s existing methodology, therefore did not result in a change. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is expected to result in volatility in income tax expense given that windfalls or shortfalls are recognized in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur. The other components of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Note 2 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which excludes non-participating unvested restricted share awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as issued but unvested restricted shares and/or outstanding but unexercised stock options. The Company has no remaining outstanding stock options; all options under the Company’s stock option grants were exercised in 2016. If the Company reports a loss, rather than income, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. ASU 2016-09 changed the recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies upon the vesting of share-based payment awards from additional paid-in capital, within equity, to income tax benefit or expense, within the statement of operations. As a result, excess tax benefits or deficiencies under ASU 2016-09 are excluded from assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. Previously, excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies were included within assumed proceeds. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, this resulted in the inclusion of approximately 0.3 million incremental shares in the Company’s total weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

The following table provides details underlying the Company’s earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $6.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, totaled $15.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

2017 Acquisitions. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, MasTec completed three acquisitions, including (i) a wireline/fiber deployment construction contractor, which is included in the Company’s Communications segment; (ii) a heavy civil construction services company, which is included in the Company’s Power Generation and Industrial segment, and (iii) an oil and gas pipeline equipment company, which is included in the Company’s Oil and Gas segment. Determination of the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired and the estimated earn-out liabilities for these acquisitions is preliminary as of September 30, 2017, and further adjustments to management’s preliminary estimates may occur.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of consideration paid and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the respective dates of acquisition (in millions).



Acquisition consideration:	2017
Cash	$	118.8
Fair value of contingent consideration (earn-out liability)	89.6
Total consideration transferred	$	208.4
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Current assets, primarily composed of accounts receivable and $2.8 million of cash acquired	$	42.7
Property and equipment	56.9
Amortizing intangible assets	26.8
Other long-term assets	0.5
Current liabilities, including current portion of capital lease obligations and long-term debt	(28.4		)
Long-term debt, including capital lease obligations	(9.9		)
Deferred income taxes	(15.5		)
Total identifiable net assets	$	73.1
Goodwill	$	135.3
Total net assets acquired, including goodwill	$	208.4

Amortizing intangible assets related to the 2017 acquisitions are primarily composed of customer relationships, backlog and other amortizing intangible assets, which had weighted average lives of approximately 11 years, 4 years and 7 years, respectively, and 10 years in total, and will be amortized in a manner consistent with the pattern in which the related benefits are expected to be consumed. The goodwill balances for the respective acquisitions represent the estimated value of each acquired company’s geographic presence in key markets, their assembled workforce, and management team industry-specific project management expertise, as well as synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the acquired companies and MasTec. Approximately $75 million of the acquired goodwill balance as of September 30, 2017 is expected to be tax deductible.

The contingent consideration included in the table above equals the acquired companies’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) above certain thresholds, if applicable, for a period of five years, as set forth in the respective purchase agreements, which amounts are payable annually. The fair values of the earn-out liabilities were estimated using income approaches such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models and incorporate significant inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions in the estimated valuations include the discount rate and probability-weighted EBITDA projections. Significant changes in any of these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower potential earn-out liability.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, pro forma revenue totaled approximately $1,955.8 million and $5,077.4 million, respectively, and pro forma net income totaled approximately $64.4 million and $192.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, pro forma revenue totaled approximately $1,634.5 million and $3,934.6 million, respectively, and pro forma net income totaled approximately $59.0 million and $81.5 million, respectively.

The above indicated unaudited pro forma financial results, which represent the results of operations of the companies acquired as if the acquired companies had been consolidated as of January 1, 2016, are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined companies for the periods indicated, or of the results that may be achieved by the combined companies in the future. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of MasTec to include the historical results of the acquired businesses described above, and then adjusted (i) to remove acquisition costs; (ii) to increase amortization expense resulting from the acquired intangible assets; (iii) to increase interest expense as a result of the cash consideration paid; (iv) to reduce interest expense from debt repaid upon acquisition; and (iv) to eliminate the effect of intercompany transactions. Additionally, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results do not include adjustments to reflect other cost savings or synergies that may have resulted from these acquisitions. Future results may vary significantly due to future events and transactions, as well as other factors, many of which are beyond MasTec’s control.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, acquisition-related results included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations included revenue of approximately $62.2 million and $96.1 million, respectively, and net income of approximately $3.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

The entire disclosure for the aggregate amount of goodwill and a description of intangible assets, which may include (a) for amortizable intangible assets (also referred to as finite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, the amount of any significant residual value, and the weighted-average amortization period, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization (also referred to as indefinite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, and (c) the amount of research and development assets acquired and written off in the period, including the line item in the income statement in which the amounts written off are aggregated, if not readily apparent from the income statement. Also discloses (a) for amortizable intangibles assets in total and by major class, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization, the total amortization expense for the period, and the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization the carrying amount in total and by major class, and (c) for goodwill, in total and for each reportable segment, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period (including the aggregate amount of goodwill acquired, the aggregate amount of impairment losses recognized, and the amount of goodwill included in the gain (loss) on disposal of a reporting unit). If any part of goodwill has not been allocated to a reportable segment, discloses the unallocated amount and the reasons for not allocating. For each impairment loss recognized related to an intangible asset (excluding goodwill), discloses: (a) a description of the impaired intangible asset and the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method for determining fair value, (c) the caption in the income statement or the statement of activities in which the impairment loss is aggregated, and (d) the segment in which the impaired intangible asset is reported. For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final. May also disclose the nature and amount of any significant adjustments made to a previous estimate of an impairment loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Sep. 30, 2017
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, life insurance assets, cost and equity method investments, stock warrants, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, accounts payable and other current liabilities, acquisition-related contingent consideration, certain intangible assets and liabilities, including off-market contracts, and debt obligations. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy, which requires maximizing the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used are: (i) Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - observable market-based inputs or other observable inputs; and (iii) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data, which are generally determined using valuation models incorporating management estimates of market participant assumptions. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other available information. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values. Management believes the carrying values of notes and other receivables, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities and outstanding balances on its credit facilities approximate their fair values. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, financial instruments required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted primarily of acquisition-related contingent consideration, which represents the estimated fair value of future earn-outs payable for acquisitions of businesses (“ASC 805 contingent consideration”). ASC 805 contingent consideration is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and is evaluated on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s ASC 805 contingent consideration totaled $104.9 million and $45.8 million, respectively, of which $18.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, was included within other current liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s ASC 805 contingent consideration is estimated using income approaches such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models and incorporates significant inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions include the discount rate and probability-weighted EBITDA projections. Significant changes in any of these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower potential earn-out liability. As of September 30, 2017, the range of potential undiscounted earn-out liabilities was estimated to be between $15 million and $170 million; however, there is no maximum payment amount. ASC 805 contingent consideration activity consists primarily of additions from new business combinations, payments of earn-out liabilities, changes in the expected fair value of future earn-out obligations, and, for earn-out liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, translation gains or losses. Fair value adjustments are recorded within other income or expense, and foreign currency translation activity is recorded within other comprehensive income or loss, as appropriate. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, additions from new business combinations totaled $64.6 million and $89.6 million, respectively. There were no payments of ASC 805 contingent consideration for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, and payments totaled $18.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, payments totaled $5.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively. Foreign currency translation activity was de minimis for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The Company recognized reductions in the expected fair value of future earn-out obligations totaling $3.0 million and $11.6 million for certain acquired businesses in the Communications and Electrical Transmission segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a net reduction in the expected fair value of future earn-out obligations of $2.3 million for certain of the Company’s western Canadian oil and gas businesses. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis, for which remeasurement occurs in the event of an impairment or other measurement event, if applicable, include items such as cost and equity method investments, life insurance assets, long-lived assets, goodwill, other intangible assets and liabilities and debt. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross carrying amount of the Company’s 4.875% senior notes due 2023 (the “4.875% Senior Notes”) totaled $400 million. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 4.875% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices in active markets, a Level 1 input, totaled $407.0 million and $388.0 million, respectively. Cost and Equity Investees. The Company’s cost and equity investees as of September 30, 2017 are primarily composed of: (i) the Company’s equity interests in Trans-Pecos Pipeline, LLC (“TPP”) and Comanche Trail Pipeline, LLC (“CTP,” and together with TPP, the “Waha JVs”); (ii) the Company’s interests in a pre-acquisition equity method investment of Pacer Construction Holdings Corporation and its affiliated operating companies (collectively, “Pacer”); (iii) a $15 million cost investment in Cross Country Infrastructure Services, Inc. (“CCI,” previously, Cross Country Pipeline Supply, Inc.); (iv) the Company’s interests in its proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures; (v) the Company’s equity interests in Pensare Acquisition Corp. (“Pensare”); and (vi) certain other cost and equity method investments. See Note 15 - Related Party Transactions. The fair values of the Company’s cost and equity method investments are not readily observable. The Company is not aware of events or changes in circumstances that would have a significant adverse effect on the carrying values of its cost and/or equity investments as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Cumulative undistributed earnings from equity method investees totaled $10.6 million as of September 30, 2017. The Waha JVs. The Waha JVs own and operate two pipelines and a header system that transport natural gas to the Mexican border for export. These pipelines commenced operations in the first half of 2017. There were no equity or other contributions to these joint ventures for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, equity and other contributions totaled $73.3 million. As collateral for its equity commitments in the Waha JVs, the Company has issued letters of credit (the “Equity LC Amount”), of which $19 million and $91 million, respectively, were outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Equity in earnings related to the Company’s proportionate share of income from the Waha JVs, which is included within the Company’s Other segment, totaled approximately $7.4 million and $15.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Equity in earnings from the Waha JVs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was de minimis. The Waha JVs are party to certain interest rate swaps. The Company reflects its proportionate share of any unrealized fair market value gains or losses from fluctuations in interest rates associated with these swaps within other comprehensive income or loss, as appropriate. For the three month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s proportionate share of unrecognized unrealized activity on these interest rate swaps was a gain of approximately $1.3 million or $0.8 million, net of tax, and for the nine month period, this activity was a loss of approximately $2.1 million, or $1.3 million, net of tax. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s proportionate share of unrecognized unrealized activity on these interest rate swaps was a loss of approximately $0.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively, or $0.3 million and $12.9 million, net of tax, respectively. Certain subsidiaries of MasTec have provided pipeline construction services to the Waha JVs. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, revenue recognized in connection with work performed for the Waha JVs, including intercompany eliminations, totaled $3.6 million and $255.2 million, respectively, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, totaled $80.9 million and $142.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, related receivables, including retainage, net of BIEC, totaled $52.2 million and $71.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s net investment in the Waha JVs represented an asset totaling approximately $115 million and $6 million, respectively. The Company’s net investment in the Waha JVs differs from its proportionate share of the net assets of the Waha JVs due to capitalized investment costs as well as the effect of intercompany eliminations. Other investments. In connection with the 2014 acquisition of Pacer, the Company acquired equity interests in two joint ventures. There are no remaining amounts expected to be advanced in connection with these investments, and as of March 2016, all related project work had been completed. In the first quarter of 2016, revenue recognized by Pacer on behalf of these entities totaled $0.6 million. One of these entities was liquidated in 2016, and the second, which is in the final stages of liquidation, is being managed by a receiver to assist with the orderly wind-down of its operations. In the first quarter of 2016, $3.6 million of income was recognized related to changes in expected recoveries from these investments. The Company received $12.1 million of proceeds from the receiver in the first quarter of 2017. The remaining investment, for which the Company now has minimal involvement, is reviewed regularly by corporate management for potential changes in expected recovery estimates, and, during the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded $5.8 million of expense related to changes in expected recovery amounts from this investment. The aggregate net carrying value of this investment, which represents expected recoveries under the receivership arrangement, totaled $14.8 million and $31.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which amounts are included within other current assets. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company paid approximately $2.0 million for approximately 4% of the common stock of Pensare and warrants to purchase 2.0 million shares of Pensare common stock, which is a special purpose acquisition company focusing on transactions in the telecommunications industry. The shares of common stock purchased by MasTec are not transferable or salable until one year after Pensare successfully completes a business combination transaction, with limited exceptions, as specified in the agreement. The warrants purchased by MasTec are exercisable at a purchase price of $11.50 per share after Pensare successfully completes a business combination. Both the warrants and shares expire and/or are effectively forfeitable if Pensare does not successfully complete a business combination by February 1, 2019. The warrants, which are derivative financial instruments, and the shares, which are a cost method investment, are included within other long-term assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017. The fair value of the warrants, as determined based on Level 3 inputs, approximated their cost basis as of September 30, 2017. The fair value of the shares is not readily determinable due to the nature of the restrictions. José R. Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, is a director of Pensare.

The Company refers to its amended and restated credit facility as the “2017 Credit Facility,” and to its previous credit facility as the “2016 Credit Facility.” The 2017 Credit Facility increased the Company’s aggregate borrowing commitments from approximately $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion, which amount is composed of $1.1 billion of revolving commitments and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The amended and restated credit facility also extended the Credit Facility’s maturity date to February 22, 2022. As of September 30, 2017, term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million were drawn under the 2017 Credit Facility. The term loan is subject to amortization in quarterly principal installments that commence in December 2017, which as of September 30, 2017, amounted to $3.1 million, which amount is subject to adjustment for additional term loans and, if applicable, for certain prepayments. As of December 31, 2016, term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $238 million were outstanding.

The 2017 Credit Facility also increased the amount the Company can borrow either in Canadian dollars and/or Mexican pesos up to an aggregate equivalent amount of $300 million. The maximum amount available for letters of credit under the 2017 Credit Facility is $650 million, of which up to $200 million can be denominated in either Canadian dollars and/or Mexican pesos. The Credit Facility also provides for swing line loans of up to $75 million, and, subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase revolving commitments and/or establish additional term loan tranches up to an aggregate amount of $250 million. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the Credit Facility, these additional term loan tranches may rank equal or junior in respect of right of payment and/or collateral to the Credit Facility, and may have terms and pricing that differ from the 2017 Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are used for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes, including investments in equity or other investees, potential acquisitions or other strategic arrangements, and the repurchase or prepayment of indebtedness.

Outstanding revolving loans and the term loan under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) a Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the 2017 Credit Facility, plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00% (under the 2016 Credit Facility, the margin was from 1.00% to 2.00%), or (b) a Base Rate, as defined in the 2017 Credit Facility, plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.00% (under the 2016 Credit Facility, the margin was from 0.00% to 1.00%). The Base Rate equals the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%. Financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit issued under the 2017 Credit Facility are subject to a letter of credit fee of 1.25% to 2.00% (under the 2016 Credit Facility, the letter of credit fee was from 1.00% to 2.00%), and performance standby letters of credit are subject to a letter of credit fee of 0.50% to 1.00% under the Credit Facility. The Company must also pay a commitment fee to the lenders of 0.20% to 0.40% on any unused availability under the Credit Facility. In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable margin or fee is based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, as of the then most recent fiscal quarter.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, outstanding revolving loans, which included $171 million and $119 million, respectively, of borrowings denominated in foreign currencies, accrued interest at weighted average rates of approximately 2.96% and 3.71% per annum, respectively. The term loan accrued interest at a rate of 2.86% and 2.77% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Letters of credit of approximately $189.1 million and $314.3 million were issued as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, letters of credit fees accrued at 0.750% and 1.00% per annum, respectively, for performance standby letters of credit, and at 1.625% and 2.00% per annum, respectively, for financial standby letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit mature at various dates and most have automatic renewal provisions, subject to prior notice of cancellation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, availability for revolving loans totaled $610.3 million and $405.9 million, respectively, or up to $460.9 million and $335.7 million, respectively, for new letters of credit. Revolving loan borrowing capacity included $129.4 million and $80.9 million of availability in either Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The unused facility fee as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 accrued at a rate of 0.30% and 0.40%, respectively.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and the obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ respective assets, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, of 3.50 (subject to the Acquisition Adjustment described below). The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, of 3.00. The Credit Facility provides that, for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, certain cash charges may be added back to the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, and funded indebtedness excludes undrawn standby performance letters of credit. Additionally, notwithstanding the terms discussed above, subject to certain conditions, if a permitted acquisition or series of permitted acquisitions having consideration exceeding $50 million occurs during a fiscal quarter, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio may be temporarily increased to up to 3.75 during such fiscal quarter and the subsequent two fiscal quarters. Such right may be exercised no more than two times during the term of the Credit Facility. Subject to customary exceptions, the Credit Facility limits the borrowers’ and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ ability to engage in certain activities, including acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, debt incurrence, investments, capital expenditures, asset sales, debt prepayments, lien incurrence and the making of distributions or repurchases of capital stock. However, distributions payable solely in capital stock are permitted. The Credit Facility provides for customary events of default and carries cross-default provisions with the Company’s other significant debt instruments, including the Company’s indemnity agreement with its surety provider, as well as customary remedies, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts and other remedies with respect to the collateral securing the Credit Facility obligations.

Other Credit Facilities. The Company has other credit facilities that support the working capital requirements of its foreign operations. Borrowings under these credit facilities, which have varying dates of maturity and are generally renewed on an annual basis, are denominated in Canadian dollars. As September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, maximum borrowing capacity totaled Canadian $20.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, or approximately $16.0 million and $29.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, outstanding borrowings totaled approximately $5.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively, and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 4.0% and 3.6%, respectively. Outstanding borrowings that are not renewed are repaid with borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of the Company’s borrowings under its other credit facilities, which are included within notes payable and other debt obligations in the table above, are classified within long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s other credit facilities are subject to customary provisions and covenants.

Debt Guarantees and Covenants

The 4.875% Senior Notes are senior unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in right of payment with existing and future unsubordinated debt, and rank senior in right of payment to existing and future subordinated debt and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated, joint and several basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future 100%-owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are each guarantors of the Company’s Credit Facility or other outstanding indebtedness. See Note 16 - Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Unaudited Consolidating Financial Information.

MasTec was in compliance with the provisions and covenants of its outstanding debt instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Additional Information

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued interest payable, which is recorded within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $4.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the 2017 Credit Facility amendment, the Company paid approximately $6 million in financing costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. For additional information pertaining to the Company’s debt instruments, including its 4.875% Senior Notes, see Note 7 - Debt in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Benefit Plans

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has stock-based compensation plans, under which shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance. Under all stock-based compensation plans in effect as of September 30, 2017, including employee stock purchase plans, there were approximately 4.9 million shares available for future grant. In March 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended 2013 ICP”), which was effective as of January 1, 2017 and changed the amount of tax the Company can withhold for employee tax withholdings on share-based awards, as provided under ASU 2016-09. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017, as discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.

Restricted Shares

MasTec grants restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (together “restricted shares”), which are valued based on the closing market share price of MasTec common stock (the “market price”) on the date of grant. During the restriction period, holders of restricted stock awards are entitled to vote the shares. Total unearned compensation related to restricted shares as of September 30, 2017 was approximately $15.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years. The intrinsic value of restricted shares that vested, which is based on the market price on the date of vesting, totaled $0.1 million for both the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and totaled $11.9 million and $1.5 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(a)	Includes 39,050 and 43,300 restricted stock units as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company previously granted options to purchase its common stock to employees and members of the Board of Directors and affiliates under various stock option plans. During 2016, all stock options that were outstanding under previous stock option grants were exercised. The intrinsic value of options exercised, which is based on the difference between the exercise price and the market share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise, totaled $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Net of shares withheld in cashless option exercises, there were no proceeds from option exercises for the three month period ended September 30, 2016, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, proceeds totaled $1.9 million.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has certain employee stock purchase plans (collectively, “ESPPs”) under which shares of the Company's common stock are available for purchase by eligible employees. The following table provides details pertaining to the Company’s ESPPs for the periods indicated:



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30

Excess tax benefit from non-cash stock-based compensation ^(a)	$	0.0	$	0.3	$	0.1	$	1.4

(a)

Excess tax benefits represent cash flows from tax deductions in excess of the tax effect of compensation expense associated with share-based payment arrangements. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net tax deficiency of $0.1 million related to the vesting of share-based payment awards and excess tax benefits were de minimis. As discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. ASU 2016-09 changed the required presentation of excess tax benefits in the consolidated statement of cash flows from financing activities to operating activities. Excess tax benefits for the comparative prior year period are classified as cash flows from financing activities.

Multiemployer Plans [Abstract]

Other Retirement Plans

Note 10 – Other Retirement Plans

Multiemployer Plans. Certain of MasTec’s subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries in Canada, contribute amounts to multiemployer pension and other multiemployer benefit plans and trusts, which are recorded as a component of employee wages and salaries within costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts per hour per employee for employees covered under these plans. Multiemployer plan contribution rates are determined annually and assessed on a “pay-as-you-go” basis based on union employee payrolls. Union payrolls cannot be determined for future periods because the number of union employees employed at a given time, and the plans in which they may participate, vary depending upon the location and number of ongoing projects at a given time and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. Total contributions to multiemployer plans, and the related number of employees covered by these plans, including with respect to the Company’s Canadian operations, for the periods indicated were as follows:



	Multiemployer Plans
	Covered Employees		Contributions (in millions)
	Low	High	Pension		Other Multiemployer		Total
For the Three Months Ended September 30:
2017	3,669	7,057	$	36.7	$	2.7	$	39.4
2016	4,170	4,910	$	26.4	$	2.9	$	29.3
For the Nine Months Ended September 30:
2017	550	7,057	$	68.1	$	8.0	$	76.1
2016	1,112	4,910	$	43.4	$	7.6	$	51.0

The fluctuations in the average number of employees covered under multiemployer plans and related contributions in the table above are primarily related to higher levels of union resource-based project activity within the Company’s oil and gas operations.

Equity	9 Months Ended
Equity	Sep. 30, 2017
Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Note 11 – Equity Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss is composed of unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, which relate primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and unrealized gains and losses from certain investment activities. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, unrealized foreign currency activity related primarily to the Company’s Canadian operations, and unrealized investment activity related to interest rate swaps associated with the Waha JVs. Share Activity No shares of the Company’s common stock have been repurchased under the Company’s 2016 share repurchase program.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2017
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 12 - Income Taxes In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, management uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on forecasted annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter(s) in which they occur. For the three month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized certain tax credits based upon the results of a study that is currently underway, which amount was determined based on management’s estimates and currently available information. Further adjustments to the amount recognized may occur as the results of the study are finalized, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017. As discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, which changed the recognition requirements for excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) or tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) from share-based payment awards. ASU 2016-09 requires windfalls or shortfalls to be recognized within income tax expense in the interim periods in which they occur, rather than as additional paid-in capital. Given that windfalls or shortfalls are recognized in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur, they are not included when estimating annual effective tax rates. The tax effect related to the vesting of share-based payment awards did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $274.5 million of long-term deferred tax liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, current deferred tax assets, net, totaled $11.8 million and long-term deferred tax liabilities, net, totaled $178.4 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued income and other taxes payable, which are included within other accrued expenses, totaled $19.8 million and $40.3 million, respectively. The Company adopted Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which changed the classification requirements for deferred tax assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2017. ASU 2015-17 requires long-term classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities, rather than separately classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities based on their net current and non-current amounts, as was required under the previous guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on a prospective basis, therefore prior periods were not adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments and Related Information

Note 13 - Segments and Related Information

Segment Discussion

MasTec manages its operations under five operating segments, which represent MasTec’s five reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Oil and Gas; (3) Electrical Transmission; (4) Power Generation and Industrial and (5) Other. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for MasTec’s labor-based construction services. All five reportable segments derive their revenue from the engineering, installation and maintenance of infrastructure, primarily in North America.

The Communications segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and customer fulfillment activities related to communications infrastructure primarily for wireless and wireline/fiber communications and install-to-the-home customers, and, to a lesser extent, infrastructure for utilities, among others. MasTec performs engineering, construction and maintenance services on oil and natural gas pipelines and processing facilities for the energy and utilities industries through its Oil and Gas segment. The Electrical Transmission segment primarily serves the energy and utility industries through the engineering, construction and maintenance of electrical transmission lines and substations. The Power Generation and Industrial segment primarily serves energy, utility and other end-markets through the installation and construction of conventional and renewable power facilities, related electrical transmission infrastructure, ethanol/biofuel facilities and various types of heavy civil and industrial infrastructure. The Other segment includes equity investees, the services of which vary from those provided by the Company’s four primary segments, as well as other small business units that perform construction and other services for a variety of international end-markets.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. As appropriate, the Company supplements the reporting of consolidated financial information determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results for its reportable segments, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry, and for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, can also be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our common stock or variations in the value of shares granted. Segment EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated EBITDA.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, Other segment EBITDA included project losses of $0.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture, which is managed by a third party, and for which we have minimal direct construction involvement. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, Other segment EBITDA included $5.1 million of project losses on this proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, EBITDA for the Oil and Gas and Electrical Transmission segments included first quarter project losses of $13.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Summarized financial information for MasTec’s reportable segments is presented and reconciled to consolidated financial information for total MasTec in the following tables (in millions):

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2017
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies MasTec is subject to a variety of legal cases, claims and other disputes that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K for additional information. MasTec cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in recovering all or any of the potential damages it has claimed or in defending claims against the Company. The outcome of such cases, claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other Commitments and Contingencies Leases. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable operating leases for certain of its facility, vehicle and equipment needs, including related party leases. See Note 8 - Lease Obligations and Note 15 - Related Party Transactions. Letters of Credit. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is required to post letters of credit for its insurance carriers, surety bond providers and in support of performance under certain contracts as well as certain obligations associated with the Company’s cost and equity investees, including its variable interest entities. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit under certain conditions. If this were to occur, the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit, which, depending upon the circumstances, could result in a charge to earnings. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were $189.1 million and $314.3 million, respectively, of letters of credit issued under the Company’s Credit Facility. The Company is not aware of material claims relating to its outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Performance and Payment Bonds. In the ordinary course of business, MasTec is required by certain customers to provide performance and payment bonds for contractual commitments related to projects in process. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that the Company will perform under the terms of a contract and that the Company will pay subcontractors and vendors. If the Company fails to perform under a contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. The Company must reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, outstanding performance and payment bonds totaled $119.2 million and $72.9 million, respectively, and estimated costs to complete projects secured by these bonds totaled $51.3 million and $9.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These amounts do not include performance and payment bonds associated with the Company’s equity investees. Cost and Equity Investees and Other Entities. The Company holds a 35% undivided interest in a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian contractual joint venture that was underway when the Company acquired Pacer in 2014, whose sole activity involves the construction of a bridge, a business in which the Company does not otherwise engage. This joint venture, which is managed by a third party, and for which the Company has minimal direct construction involvement, automatically terminates upon completion of the project. The Company also holds undivided interests, ranging from 85% to 90% in seven proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures that provide infrastructure construction services for electrical transmission projects. Income and/or losses incurred by these joint ventures are generally shared proportionally by the respective joint venture members, with the members of the joint ventures jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the joint venture. The respective joint venture agreements provide that each joint venture partner indemnify the other party for any liabilities incurred by such joint venture in excess of its ratable portion of such liabilities. Thus, it is possible that the Company could be required to pay or perform obligations in excess of its share if the other joint venture partners fail or refuse to pay or perform their respective share of the obligations. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was not aware of circumstances that would reasonably lead to material future claims against it in connection with these arrangements. The Company has other investment arrangements, as discussed in Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 15 - Related Party Transactions. From time to time, the Company may incur costs or provide financing, performance, financial and/or other guarantees to or in connection with its investees. Self-Insurance. MasTec maintains insurance policies for workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability, which are subject to per claim deductibles. The Company also maintains excess umbrella coverage. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, MasTec’s liability for unpaid claims and associated expenses, including incurred but not reported losses related to these policies, totaled $98.5 million and $85.8 million, respectively, of which $67.5 million and $55.2 million, respectively, were reflected within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. MasTec also maintains an insurance policy with respect to employee group medical claims, which is subject to annual per employee maximum losses. MasTec’s liability for employee group medical claims totaled $2.6 million as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company is required to post letters of credit and provide cash collateral to certain of its insurance carriers and to provide surety bonds in certain states. Insurance-related letters of credit for the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability policies amounted to $84.6 million and $85.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In addition, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, which is included within other long-term assets, amounted to $1.5 million for these policies as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Outstanding surety bonds related to workers’ compensation self-insurance programs amounted to $13.7 million and $13.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Employment Agreements. The Company has employment agreements with certain executives and other employees, which provide for compensation and certain other benefits and for severance payments under certain circumstances. Certain employment agreements also contain clauses that become effective upon a change in control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of any of the defined events in the various employment agreements, the Company would be obligated to pay certain amounts to the relevant employees, which vary with the level of the employees’ respective responsibility. Collective Bargaining Agreements and Multiemployer Plans. As discussed in Note 10 - Other Retirement Plans, certain of MasTec’s subsidiaries are party to various collective bargaining agreements with unions representing certain of their employees, which require the Company to pay specified wages, provide certain benefits to their union employees and contribute certain amounts to multiemployer pension and other multiemployer benefits plans and trusts. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (collectively, “ERISA”), which governs U.S.-registered multiemployer pension plans, subjects employers to substantial liabilities in the event of the employer’s complete or partial withdrawal from, or upon termination of, such plans. The Company currently contributes, and in the past, has contributed to, plans that are underfunded, and, therefore, could have potential liability associated with a voluntary or involuntary withdrawal from, or termination of, these plans. As described in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K, the Company, along with other members of the Pipe Line Contractors Association (the “PLCA”), voluntarily withdrew from the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (“Central States”) in November 2011, for which the Company established and paid a $6.4 million withdrawal liability. The Company is in arbitration to determine if there is any remaining amount owed on this withdrawal liability, and during the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized $0.6 million of expense in connection with the expected settlement of this matter. Other than the Company’s 2011 withdrawal from Central States and certain other underfunded plans, as described in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K, the Company does not have plans to withdraw from, and is not aware of circumstances that would reasonably lead to material claims against it in connection with these plans. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be assessed liabilities in the future. Based upon the information available to the Company from plan administrators as of September 30, 2017, several of the multiemployer pension plans in which it participates are underfunded and, as a result, the Company could be required to increase its contributions, including in the form of a surcharge on future benefit contributions. The amount of additional funds the Company may be obligated to contribute in the future cannot be estimated, as these amounts are based on future levels of work of the union employees covered by these plans, investment returns and the level of underfunding of such plans. Indemnities. The Company generally indemnifies its customers for the services it provides under its contracts, as well as other specified liabilities, which may subject the Company to indemnity claims, liabilities and related litigation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was not aware of any material asserted or unasserted claims in connection with these indemnity obligations. Other Guarantees. In the ordinary course of its business, from time to time, MasTec guarantees the obligations of its subsidiaries, including obligations under certain contracts with customers, certain lease obligations and in some states, obligations in connection with obtaining contractors’ licenses. MasTec has also issued performance and other guarantees in connection with certain of its equity investees. MasTec also generally warrants the work it performs for a one to two year period following substantial completion of a project. Much of the work performed by the Company is evaluated for defects shortly after the work is completed. Accrued warranty claims are, and historically have been, de minimis. However, if warranty claims occur, the Company could be required to repair or replace warrantied items, or, if customers elect to repair or replace the warrantied item using the services of another provider, the Company could be required to pay for the cost of the repair or replacement. Concentrations of Risk. The Company had approximately 455 customers for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, one customer accounted for approximately 44% and 24%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable position, which represents accounts receivable, net, less BIEC. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, a separate customer accounted for approximately 13% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable position. In addition, the Company derived 83% and 80%, respectively, of its revenue from its top ten customers for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and derived 80% and 76% of its revenues, respectively, from its top ten customers for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2016 Form 10-K”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Reclassifications	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include MasTec, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that MasTec consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company’s investments in entities for which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but for which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as other long-term assets, or, for investments in a net liability position, within other long-term liabilities. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unincorporated entity, but the Company does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity. The cost method is used for investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence. Management determines whether each business entity in which it has equity interests, debt, or other investments constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on the nature and characteristics of such arrangements. If an investment arrangement is determined to be a VIE, then management determines if the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary by evaluating several factors, including the Company’s: (i) risks and responsibilities; (ii) ownership interests; (iii) decision making powers; and (iv) financial interests, among other factors. If management determines the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, then it would be consolidated, and other parties’ interests in the VIE would be accounted for as non-controlling interests. The primary beneficiary consolidating the VIE must normally have both (i) the power to direct the primary activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, which, in either case, could be significant to the VIE.
Equity Method Investments	The Company’s investments in entities for which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but for which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as other long-term assets, or, for investments in a net liability position, within other long-term liabilities. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties.
Unincorporated Entities, Proportionate Consolidation	For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unincorporated entity, but the Company does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.
Cost Method Investments	The cost method is used for investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence.
Variable Interest Entities	Management determines whether each business entity in which it has equity interests, debt, or other investments constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on the nature and characteristics of such arrangements. If an investment arrangement is determined to be a VIE, then management determines if the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary by evaluating several factors, including the Company’s: (i) risks and responsibilities; (ii) ownership interests; (iii) decision making powers; and (iv) financial interests, among other factors. If management determines the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, then it would be consolidated, and other parties’ interests in the VIE would be accounted for as non-controlling interests. The primary beneficiary consolidating the VIE must normally have both (i) the power to direct the primary activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, which, in either case, could be significant to the VIE.
Translation of Foreign Currencies	Translation of Foreign Currencies The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses accumulated within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in other income or expense, net.
Management Estimates	Management Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss (which the Company defines as project revenue, less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation), in particular, on construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, for which the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to complete and the amount of probable contract price adjustments; allowances for doubtful accounts; estimated fair values of goodwill and intangible assets; acquisition-related contingent consideration and investments in equity investees; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; fair values of financial instruments; accrued self-insured claims; share-based compensation; other accruals and allowances; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of litigation and other contingencies. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is derived from construction projects performed under master and other service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. The Company frequently provides services under unit price or fixed price master service or other service agreements. Revenue and related costs for master and other service agreements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects performed under master service and other service agreements totaled 32% and 38% of consolidated revenue for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and totaled 35% and 43% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company also performs services under master and other service agreements on a fixed fee basis, under which MasTec furnishes specified units of service for a fixed price per unit of service and revenue is recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts provides for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or specifications. Revenue from these contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to master and other service agreements, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered, which may be measured in terms of costs incurred, units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment. Much of the materials associated with the Company’s work are customer-furnished and are therefore not included in contract revenue and costs. The estimation process for revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized. For both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, project profit was affected by less than 5% as a result of changes in contract estimates included in projects that were in process as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The majority of fixed price contracts are completed within one year. The Company may incur costs subject to change orders, whether approved or unapproved by the customer, and/or claims related to certain contracts. Management determines the probability that such costs will be recovered based upon engineering studies and legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer. The Company treats such costs as a cost of contract performance in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered, and defers costs or recognizes revenue up to the amount of the related cost if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $77 million and $17 million, respectively, of change orders and/or claims that had been included as contract price adjustments on certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business, including through negotiation, arbitration and other proceedings. These contract price adjustments, which are included within costs and earnings in excess of billings or billed accounts receivable, as appropriate, represent management’s best estimate of contract revenue that has been earned and that management believes is probable of collection. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these change orders were primarily related to contracts in the Oil and Gas segment. The Company actively engages in substantive meetings with its customers to complete the final approval process, and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year. The amounts ultimately realized upon final acceptance by its customers could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts. Billings In Excess of Costs and Earnings (“BIEC”) on uncompleted contracts is classified within current liabilities. Costs and Earnings In Excess of Billings (“CIEB”), which is also referred to as work in process, is classified within current assets. Work in process on contracts is based on work performed but not yet billed to customers as per individual contract terms.
Revenue Recognition, Percentage-of-Completion Method	Revenue from fixed price contracts provides for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or specifications. Revenue from these contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to master and other service agreements, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered, which may be measured in terms of costs incurred, units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment. Much of the materials associated with the Company’s work are customer-furnished and are therefore not included in contract revenue and costs. The estimation process for revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized. For both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, project profit was affected by less than 5% as a result of changes in contract estimates included in projects that were in process as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The majority of fixed price contracts are completed within one year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements There have been no changes in the expected dates of adoption or estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of recently issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. See below for additional discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting model in Topic 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also simplifies certain documentation and assessment requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. All transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption and their effects should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The presentation and disclosure requirements are effective on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Limited and administrative modifications that do not change the value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award are exempt from following the modification guidance in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income- Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies certain guidance under Subtopic 610-20 that was issued as part of the new revenue standard, including the recognition of gains and losses on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, and clarifies accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures, among other requirements. ASU 2017-05 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of this ASU is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use judgment and make estimates when evaluating contract terms and other relevant facts and circumstances. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective using either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition approach for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued several accounting standards updates to clarify certain topics within ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, and its related clarifying ASUs, as of January 1, 2018. The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the potential effects of these ASUs on its consolidated financial statements, business processes, systems and controls. The Company’s assessment included a detailed review of representative contracts at each of the Company’s business units and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Based on the Company’s review of various types of revenue arrangements, the Company expects to recognize revenue and earnings over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its fixed price contracts and certain master service and other service agreements, consistent with current practice. For these contracts, the cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer under the new standard. The Company has substantially completed its analysis of the information necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures under the new standard. As part of this analysis, the Company evaluated its information technology capabilities and systems, and does not expect to incur significant information technology costs to modify systems currently in place. The Company will implement targeted changes to its internal reporting processes to facilitate gathering the data needed for reporting and disclosure under the new standard. The Company will also implement updates to its control processes and procedures, as necessary, based on changes resulting from the new standard. The Company does not expect any such updates to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, the new standard would apply to all new contracts initiated on or after January 1, 2018. For existing contracts that have remaining obligations as of January 1, 2018, any difference between the recognition criteria in these ASUs and the Company’s current revenue recognition practices would be recognized using a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Any potential effect of adoption of these ASUs has not yet been quantified; however, based on the review of contracts across all of the Company’s business units to date, the adoption of these ASUs is not expected to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue recognized as compared to current practices. The Company is training its business units for the implementation of the new standard, and continues developing the disclosures required by the new standard. The Company is also reviewing certain contracts entered into by its business units subsequent to its initial assessment that are expected to have performance obligations remaining as of January 1, 2018 for any cumulative effect adjustments that may be required upon adoption. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of January 1, 2017 The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”) effective January 1, 2017. Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) or tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) are recognized in the income statement, rather than as additional paid-in-capital as under the previous guidance, and are presented as operating cash flows, rather than as a financing activity. This ASU also increased the amount of tax that can be withheld by an employer for employee tax withholdings without resulting in liability classification of an award. Payments to taxing authorities for such employee withholdings are presented as financing activities. ASU 2016-09 also allows companies to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur or to estimate such amounts. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 that were applicable to the Company were adopted on a prospective basis; the retrospective requirement to classify payments to taxing authorities for employee withholdings as a financing activity was consistent with the Company’s existing methodology, therefore did not result in a change. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is expected to result in volatility in income tax expense given that windfalls or shortfalls are recognized in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur. The other components of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition [Line Items]
Unapproved change orders, description			The Company may incur costs subject to change orders, whether approved or unapproved by the customer, and/or claims related to certain contracts. Management determines the probability that such costs will be recovered based upon engineering studies and legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer. The Company treats such costs as a cost of contract performance in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered, and defers costs or recognizes revenue up to the amount of the related cost if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $77 million and $17 million, respectively, of change orders and/or claims that had been included as contract price adjustments on certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business, including through negotiation, arbitration and other proceedings. These contract price adjustments, which are included within costs and earnings in excess of billings or billed accounts receivable, as appropriate, represent management’s best estimate of contract revenue that has been earned and that management believes is probable of collection. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these change orders were primarily related to contracts in the Oil and Gas segment. The Company actively engages in substantive meetings with its customers to complete the final approval process, and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year. The amounts ultimately realized upon final acceptance by its customers could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts.

Earnings Per Share [Line Items]
Computation of earnings per share, methodology			Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which excludes non-participating unvested restricted share awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as issued but unvested restricted shares and/or outstanding but unexercised stock options. The Company has no remaining outstanding stock options; all options under the Company’s stock option grants were exercised in 2016. If the Company reports a loss, rather than income, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Line of credit facility, collateral			The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and the obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ respective assets, subject to certain exceptions.
Line of credit facility, covenant terms			The Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, of 3.50 (subject to the Acquisition Adjustment described below). The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, of 3.00. The Credit Facility provides that, for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, certain cash charges may be added back to the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, and funded indebtedness excludes undrawn standby performance letters of credit. Additionally, notwithstanding the terms discussed above, subject to certain conditions, if a permitted acquisition or series of permitted acquisitions having consideration exceeding $50 million occurs during a fiscal quarter, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio may be temporarily increased to up to 3.75 during such fiscal quarter and the subsequent two fiscal quarters. Such right may be exercised no more than two times during the term of the Credit Facility. Subject to customary exceptions, the Credit Facility limits the borrowers’ and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ ability to engage in certain activities, including acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, debt incurrence, investments, capital expenditures, asset sales, debt prepayments, lien incurrence and the making of distributions or repurchases of capital stock. However, distributions payable solely in capital stock are permitted. The Credit Facility provides for customary events of default and carries cross-default provisions with the Company’s other significant debt instruments, including the Company’s indemnity agreement with its surety provider, as well as customary remedies, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts and other remedies with respect to the collateral securing the Credit Facility obligations.
