- Quarter Four Operating Cash Flow - $82.0 million - |
- Announces 2014 Revenue and Diluted EPS Guidance - |
NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, February 25, 2014 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013.
For the fourth quarter of 2013, net income attributable to EMCOR was $45.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Excluding several one-time charges discussed below, non-GAAP net income was $51.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $50.6 million, or $0.75 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $1.66 billion, compared to revenues of $1.61 billion in the year ago period.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $68.8 million, or 4.1% of revenues, which included operating losses and expenses aggregating approximately $7.2 million (including restructuring expenses of $2.1 million) primarily relating to the Company's decision to withdraw from the UK construction market. Excluding these losses and expense items, the Company's non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $76.0 million, or 4.6% of revenues, compared to non-GAAP operating income in the 2012 fourth quarter of $84.4 million, or 5.3% of revenues, as adjusted to exclude 2012 UK construction operating losses.
Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the comparable GAAP figures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2013 fourth quarter were $163.2 million, or 9.8% of revenues, compared to $149.6 million, or 9.3% of revenues, in the year ago period.
The Company's income tax rate in the 2013 fourth quarter was 30.4%, compared to an income tax rate of 39.8% in the year ago period.

Backlog as of December 31, 2013 was $3.36 billion, a decrease of 0.4% from $3.37 billion at the end of the 2012 fourth quarter. Fourth quarter backlog growth of $45 million in the Company's domestic operations nearly offset a backlog decline of $58 million related to the Company's decision to withdraw from the UK construction market. Backlog growth in the transportation, healthcare, water/wastewater and commercial sectors was more than offset by declines in the institutional and industrial sectors. Total backlog of $3.36 billion was a decrease of 0.9% from $3.39 billion compared to September 30, 2013.
Tony Guzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR Group commented, “Our performance in 2013 highlights the strength from the diversity of our business which insulates us from weakness in any one sector of the economy. Growth in the non-residential construction market remained sluggish, and we continue to contend with a slowdown in government spending. In spite of this, our U.S. electrical construction segment performed well, and we saw marked improvement in our building services segment. Although results in our U.S. mechanical construction segment were hindered by challenges related to two project write-downs in the year, we are confident that this segment will rebound in 2014."
Mr. Guzzi continued, “During 2013, we made several key strategic moves to position the Company for long-term success, most notably our mid-year acquisition of RepconStrickland and our second quarter decision to exit from the UK construction business. We are pleased with the progress made on the integration and performance of RepconStrickland to date which has been teamed with our Ohmstede subsidiary. We now have a market-leading industrial services business focused on refineries and petrochemical facilities. As we continue to focus on producing sustainable long-term growth, our new $1.1 billion credit agreement, announced in December, provides us with the financial flexibility needed to pursue strategic growth opportunities. Finally, by returning $38.2 million to our shareholders through our share repurchase program and dividends during 2013, we demonstrated our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.”
Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We are optimistic about our prospects for 2014, despite ongoing challenges in some markets. We anticipate that improvements in the non-residential construction cycle will lead to greater opportunities resulting in increased revenue growth. We continue to operate from a position of financial strength with a robust balance sheet and strong cash generation. Overall, we are now in a better position financially and operationally than we were at the same point last year and believe 2014 has the potential to be a strong year for EMCOR.”
Revenues for the 2013 full-year period increased 1.1% to $6.42 billion compared to $6.35 billion for the 2012 full-year period.
Net income attributable to EMCOR for the 2013 full-year period was $123.8 million, or $1.82 per diluted share. Excluding losses associated with the withdrawal from the UK construction market, transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of RepconStrickland, and UK restructuring expenses, non-GAAP net income was $151.2 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $154.4 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, in the year ago period, excluding 2012 UK construction losses.
Operating income in the 2013 full-year period was $210.3 million, or 3.3% of revenues. Excluding the items mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph, non-GAAP operating income for the 2013 full-year period was $246.5 million, or 3.9% of revenues, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $260.3 million, or 4.2% of revenues, in 2012.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the comparable GAAP figures.
For the 2013 full-year period, SG&A totaled $591.1 million, or 9.2% of revenues, compared to $556.2 million, or 8.8% of revenues, in 2012.
The Company noted that, based on the current size and mix of its backlog and assuming the continuation of current market conditions, it expects in 2014 revenues to be approximately $6.8 billion and diluted earnings per share to be between $2.40 to $2.70 excluding restructuring and other costs associated with the withdrawal from the UK construction market.
