Coral Gables, FL (October 31, 2019) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced better than expected third quarter financial results and increased 2019 annual earnings guidance.

•

Third quarter 2019 revenue was $2.02 billion, compared with $1.98 billion for the same period last year. GAAP net income increased 8% to $130.1 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, compared to $120.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018. GAAP results exceeded the Company’s previously announced diluted earnings per share expectation by $0.12.

•

Third quarter 2019 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, increased 26% to $132.8 million, compared to $105.2 million for the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, increased 30% to $1.73, compared to $1.33 in the third quarter of 2018, exceeding the Company’s previously announced third quarter 2019 expectation by $0.11.

•

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $252.1 million, compared with $226.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, an 11% increase. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5%. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA also exceeded the Company’s previously announced 2019 third quarter guidance expectation by approximately $6 million.

Jose Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a strong quarter and exceeded our earnings expectation with a 110-basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin. We are pleased to raise our annual earnings guidance expectation, despite lower than originally expected third and fourth quarter Oil & Gas revenue, as regulatory delays on one large project caused shifts in construction activity and revenue to 2020.”

Mr. Mas continued, “As we look forward into 2020 and beyond, we remain bullish about our growth prospects, with great visibility and strong demand for our Oil & Gas, Communications, Power Generation & Industrial and Electrical Transmission segments. We believe our growing end markets will allow us the opportunity to extend both our geographic base as well as our service offerings.”

Mr. Mas concluded, “We are entering one of the most exciting advancements in the history of telecommunications. The deployment of 5G wireless technologies will create opportunities for the consumer, our customers and for MasTec. We are pleased to announce that we recently completed a fourth quarter acquisition that will expand our services to include wireless network integration, engineering and optimization, uniquely positioning MasTec to offer full “end-to-end” capabilities for our wireless customers.

George Pita, MasTec’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, “During the quarter, we once again exhibited strong cash flow performance and continue to expect to generate record annual 2019 cash flow from operations approaching $600 million. During the quarter, we also took advantage of favorable market conditions and opportunistically extended, expanded and improved pricing on our senior debt facility. As of quarter end, our balance sheet is in excellent shape with ample liquidity and comfortable leverage metrics. Our strong capital structure should allow us to take full advantage of the various growth opportunities our markets afford us as we work to maximize shareholder value.”

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing initial fourth quarter guidance, and updating full year 2019 guidance expectations. The Company currently estimates full year 2019 revenue of approximately $7.2 billion. Full year 2019 GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share are expected to approximate $385 million and $5.05, respectively. Regarding full year 2019 expectations for non-GAAP measures, adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $842 million or 11.7% of revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be $5.16, a 37% increase over 2018.

For the fourth quarter of 2019 the Company expects revenue of approximately $1.7 billion. Fourth quarter 2019 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $92 million with GAAP diluted earnings per share expected to approximate $1.21. Fourth quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is expected to approximate $209 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, expected to approximate $1.25.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, November 1, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (323) 794-2588 or (888) 220-8451 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 4775353. The replay will run for 30 days.
