CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced second quarter 2016 financial results, as well as increased 2016 full year guidance. The Company reported:

  • Second quarter 2016 revenue was $1.23 billion compared to $1.07 billion in the same period in 2015. GAAP net income was $24.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.
  • Second quarter 2016 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $29.9 million compared to $8.1 million in the same period in 2015. Second quarter 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.36, compared to $0.10 in the same period last year. Second quarter 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.36 exceeded the high end of the company's previously announced second quarter 2016 guidance range by $0.09 per share.
  • Second quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $104 million compared to $71 million in the same period in 2015.
  • 18-month backlog as of June 30, 2016 was $5.3 billion, compared to $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2015, a 31% increase.
  • The Company increased 2016 full year revenue guidance to approximately $5.0 billion. The Company also increased 2016 full year guidance expectations to GAAP net income of approximately $112 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, adjusted net income of approximately $129 million or $1.57 per adjusted diluted share and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $440 million.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP measures, exclude certain items which are detailed and 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 second quarter results significantly exceeded our expectations, primarily due to improved productivity in our Oil & Gas segment.   We expect record levels of Oil & Gas segment revenue during the second half of 2016 as we further ramp execution on large projects initiated at varying times during the 2016 second quarter. Most importantly, we have clear visibility to opportunities in the Oil & Gas segment which we expect will drive continued growth in 2017 and beyond." 

Mr. Mas continued, "It is also important to note that in addition to the strong 2016 second quarter performance in our Oil & Gas segment, we also experienced significant growth in our Communications segment, and began to see improvement, as expected, in our Electrical Transmission segment.  We expect these positive trends to continue, driving improved revenue and operating margin performance during the second half of 2016."

George Pita, MasTec Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We enter the second half of 2016 with a strong balance sheet and capital structure, excellent working capital metrics and ample liquidity. These factors leave us well positioned to take advantage of the significant growth opportunities in the various markets we serve".    

Based on information available today, the Company is raising full year 2016 guidance and providing initial third quarter 2016 guidance. The Company currently estimates 2016 annual revenue to approximate $5.0 billion. 2016 annual GAAP net income is expected to approximate $112 million with adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $440 million.  2016 annual GAAP diluted earnings per share is estimated to approximate $1.36, with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $1.57.

Additionally, for the third quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenue to approximate $1.5 billion.  Third quarter 2016 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $52 million with adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $155 million.  Third quarter 2016 GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to approximate $0.64, with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated at approximate $0.69.  

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, August 5, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time.  The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-0664 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 9184746.  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.
