For Immediate Release
MasTec Announces 2003
First Quarter Results and Reaffirms
Guidance for 2003
Miami (May 13, 2003) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced results for the first quarter of 2003. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company had revenue of $180.6 million and a net loss of $1.6 million, compared with revenue of $203.8 million and a net loss of $24.4 million for the comparable quarter of 2002. Net loss per share was $0.03 and $0.51 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Included in the loss for the first quarter of 2002 is a $25.7 million non-cash charge related to the previously disclosed change of accounting method under SFAS 142.
Austin J. Shanfelter, President and CEO stated, “Margins were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2003 by poor weather in much of the country. As a result, productivity was down as many work crews were unable to be deployed and jobs were delayed. However, in spite of these negative events, the Company’s net income fell within its previously announced guidance range indicating that our cost cutting efforts are paying off.”
For the second quarter of 2003, MasTec expects revenue to be from $210 million to $220 million with earnings per share between $0.03 and $0.05. Looking forward to the entire year, we are reaffirming our previous guidance for 2003. We expect revenue ranging from $750 to $850 million and EPS ranging from $0.18 to $0.28 per share.
Summary financials for the quarter just ended are as follows:
