The Company's income tax rate as reported in the 2012 fourth quarter was 39.8%, compared to an income tax rate of 38.5% in the year ago period.
Backlog as of December 31, 2012 was $3.37 billion, an increase of 1.4% from $3.33 billion at the end of 2011. Domestically, continued strong growth in the industrial sector combined with growth in the institutional sector more than offset declines in the commercial, healthcare, hospitality/gaming, transportation and water/wastewater sectors. Total commercial backlog decreased $20 million, or 2.0%, from year ago levels to $961 million while industrial backlog increased $248 million, or 62.9%, from the year ago period to $643 million. Backlog growth in the Company's domestic operations more than offset a backlog decline related to the Company's efforts to reduce its UK construction operations and focus on its facilities services business in that market. Total aggregate backlog was level compared to September 30, 2012.
Tony Guzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR Group, commented, “The 2012 fourth quarter finished a strong year for us. We generated solid organic growth over a strong year-ago performance and expanded margins through excellent execution and a focus on cost control. Cash generation was strong during the year, and we have both invested in our growth and returned $58 million to our shareholders through our dividend and share repurchase program through the year. Overall, we are very pleased with our performance in what continues to be a challenging and uncertain environment.”
Mr. Guzzi continued, “We continue to have particularly strong performance in our domestic construction operations, driven by organic growth and solid project execution. In facilities services, our turnaround and maintenance services for industrial clients continued to perform well, and we saw modest improvement in mechanical services operations. Our strength domestically offset the performance of our UK operations, where we continued to refocus our operations on facilities services in light of the difficult conditions in the UK construction market.”
Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We delivered excellent results in 2012, and, as we enter 2013, we believe we are well positioned for continued success. Our domestic construction businesses will continue to focus on strong project execution. Our facilities services business has the capacity to meet ongoing demand for turnaround and maintenance work from our industrial customers, and we are well positioned for improvements in our commercial site-based operations. While we have seen some increase in demand, overall economic conditions remain challenging. Bookings have been healthy, but current backlog levels continue to limit our visibility, and the bidding environment remains uneven. As we await a broader economic recovery, our focus will remain on resource management, cost controls and leveraging near-term opportunities.”
For the 2012 full-year period, net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR was $146.6 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to $121.7 million, or $1.78 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for the 2011 full-year period included the above-mentioned impairment charge as well as transaction expenses related to the acquisition of USM of $4.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share after-tax. Excluding the USM transaction expenses and impairment charge, the Company's non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the 2011 full-year period was $127.8 million, or $1.87 per diluted share.
Revenues for the 2012 full-year period increased 13.1% to $6.35 billion, compared to $5.61 billion for the 2011 full-year period. Organic revenue growth for the 2012 full-year period was 7.6%.

Excluding these items, the Company's non-GAAP operating income for the 2011 full-year period was $219.3 million, or 3.9% of revenues.
