CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced first quarter 2016 financial results, as well as an updated and increased 2016 full year guidance range. The Company reported:

  • First quarter 2016 revenue was $974 million compared with $1.0 billion in the same period in 2015. 18-month backlog as of March 31, 2016 was $5.7 billion, a 35% increase compared to $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $5.7 billion as of December 31, 2015.
  • First quarter 2016 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.5 million compared to $6.1 million in the same period in 2015. First quarter 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.02, compared to $0.07 in the same period last year. First quarter 2016 adjusted earnings per share of $0.02 exceeded the company's previously announced first quarter 2016 guidance range of a loss of $0.03 to a breakeven level.
  • First quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $54 million compared to $64 million in the same period in 2015.
  • First quarter 2016 GAAP net loss was $2.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015.
  • The Company increased 2016 full-year revenue guidance expectations by approximately $200 million, and increased its 2016 full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range upward by approximately $0.02.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP measures, exclude certain items which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP-reported measures in the attached Supplemental Disclosures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our first quarter results came in slightly better than expected and we continue to be positioned for a strong 2016 performance. We are seeing a very active bidding environment in several of our end markets, particularly in Oil & Gas, which we expect will provide us with continued growth opportunities in 2017 and beyond." 

Mr. Mas continued, "During the second quarter of 2016, we are significantly expanding our construction activities for two major pipeline projects to the Mexican border and also expect to begin construction late in the quarter of another large long haul oil and gas project. Our second quarter 2016 guidance reflects a broader range given the short term challenges of projecting start up activities on large projects during the quarter. That said, these projects are expected to generate significant revenue and earnings growth over the balance of 2016." 

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We anticipate increasing strength in several of our end markets over the balance of 2016, particularly in our Oil & Gas and Communications segments, which allows us to increase our annual 2016 revenue and adjusted earnings guidance range.  As we have previously indicated, due to the expectation of significantly improved 2016 annual financial performance and continued working capital management, we expect substantial improvement in our leverage ratios during 2016 despite expected increased working capital requirements from the revenue growth anticipated in 2016."

The Company is raising full-year 2016 guidance and providing initial second quarter 2016 guidance. These views are based on information available today, and are subject to the timing uncertainties associated with the start-up of expected projects in the Company's backlog. The Company currently now estimates 2016 annual revenue of approximately $4.8 to $5.0 billion. 2016 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at approximately $415 to $430 million, with adjusted diluted earnings per share, also a non-GAAP measure, now estimated at $1.37 to $1.47. The Company's current 2016 guidance expectations include the impact of first quarter financial results and performance trends, including improved expectations in the Company's Communications and Oil and Gas segments and reduced expectations in the Electrical Transmission segment.

Additionally, for the second quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenue of approximately $1.1 to $1.25 billion.  Second quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $80 to $95 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated at $0.17 to $0.27.   

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, May 6, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time.  The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-4375 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 9384256.  The replay will run for 30 days.  Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.mastec.com.
