MasTec Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results with Record Backlog and Updates Guidance for the Year

• First Quarter 2022 Results Include GAAP Net Loss of $35.0 Million, Adjusted EBITDA of $99 Million, Diluted Loss Per Share of $0.47 and Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share of $0.03, Exceeding Guidance Expectations by $0.09 Per Share

• Record 18-Month Backlog as of March 31, 2022 of $10.6 Billion, a 35% Increase Over the Same Quarter Last Year

• Continued Strong Balance Sheet with Ample Liquidity and Comfortable Leverage Metrics

• Annual 2022 Guidance Range Includes Revenue of $9.2 Billion, GAAP Net Income From $186 to $205 Million, Adjusted EBITDA of $850 to $875 Million, Diluted Earnings Per Share From $2.45 to $2.70 and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From $4.22 to $4.47.

Coral Gables, FL (May 5, 2022) — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2022 first quarter financial results and updated its full year 2022 guidance range expectation to reflect anticipated 2022 project timing delays in its Clean Energy & Infrastructure and Oil & Gas segment operations.

First quarter 2022 revenue was up 10.1% to $1.95 billion, compared to $1.78 billion for the first quarter of 2021. GAAP net loss was $35.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to net income of $66.1 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. First quarter results include acquisition and integration costs of $13.6 million related to fourth quarter 2021 acquisitions.

First quarter 2022 adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $2.0 million and $0.03, respectively, as compared to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $82.0 million and $1.10, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021. First quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $98.7 million, compared to $203.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. As expected, first quarter 2022 results reflect a significant decline in Oil & Gas segment revenue and operating results due to large project timing and regulatory delays. The Company’s overall performance reflects the expected significant shift in 2022 operations to non-Oil & Gas segments, as evidenced by record first quarter backlog in the non-Oil & Gas segments as of March 31, 2022.

18-month backlog as of March 31, 2022 was a record $10.6 billion, up 35% compared to last year’s first quarter backlog of $7.9 billion, and also represented a 7% sequential increase from the 2021 year-end backlog of $9.9 billion. Backlog as of March 31, 2022 was a record in all non-Oil & Gas segments for the first quarter comparable periods.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA, which are 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 Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As we have previously indicated, 2022 will mark an important transition year for MasTec, as our operations evolve to take advantage of end market growth opportunities across Communications, Clean Energy & Infrastructure and our recently expanded Power Delivery segments. Accordingly, we remain bullish on significant growth opportunities in 2023 and beyond. That said, our updated 2022 guidance range reflects project timing risks related to solar panel availability and a large Oil & Gas project restart that will move previously planned second half 2022 project activity into 2023.”

Mr. Mas continued, “I’d like to once again thank the men and women of MasTec whose dedication to safety and efficient production are a key driving force to our success. We are pleased with the professionalism, dedication and expertise of the recently added Henkels & McCoy team members and remain very excited about multiple revenue growth synergies across our expanded geographic operations. In addition, we began and made good progress in our efforts to maximize efficiency through integration of our recent acquisitions.”

George Pita, MasTec’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We are pleased with our investment grade credit profile, strong balance sheet and ample liquidity, as we absorb over $1.5 billion in recent acquisition activity. We continue to believe that our end markets provide us significant opportunity for long-term revenue and margin growth in 2023 and beyond, and evidencing this belief, this year through the date of this release, we have repurchased approximately 680,000 of MasTec shares in the open market.”

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing both second quarter and updating full year 2022 guidance. The Company currently expects full year 2022 revenue to approximate $9.2 billion. 2022 full year GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share are expected to range between $186 million to $205 million and $2.45 to $2.70, respectively. Full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $850 million and $875 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range between $4.22 and $4.47.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company expects revenue of approximately $2.2 billion. Second quarter 2022 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $17 million, with GAAP diluted earnings per share expected to be $0.22. Second quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $177 million or 8.0% of revenue, with adjusted diluted earnings per share expected to be $0.72.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, May 6, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
