REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS - Revenues Increase 25.6% to $1.72 Billion - - Operating Income and Net Income Increase 76.9% and 68.1%, Respectively - - Contract Backlog Reaches New Record of $4.67 Billion - - 2008 Full Year Earnings Guidance Raised - NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, July 29, 2008 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008. Net income for the second quarter of 2008 increased 68.1% to $44.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, from $26.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007. Revenues for the 2008 second quarter rose 25.6% to $1.72 billion from $1.37 billion in the year ago period. The increase in revenues in the period reflects strong organic growth of 12%, as well as contributions from recent acquisitions. Operating income rose 76.9% to $73.3 million, or 4.3% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2008, from $41.5 million, or 3.0% of revenues, for the year ago period. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the 2008 second quarter were $151.8 million, compared with $123.1 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in SG&A during the period primarily reflects expenses associated with companies acquired during the last twelve months. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A declined to 8.8% in the current year period from 9.0% a year ago. The Company's tax rate for the 2008 second quarter was 39%, compared to 42% for the prior year comparable period. The Company's results for the second quarter of 2008 include a one-time charge, substantially all of which is non-cash, of $7.9 million, or $0.07 per share after-tax, resulting from an adverse jury verdict in a construction contract case. This charge is included in cost of sales for the period. EMCOR Announces 2008 Second Quarter Results Page 2 EMCOR achieved record contract backlog as of the end of the 2008 second quarter. Contract backlog reached $4.67 billion at June 30, 2008, an increase of 9.7% over a year ago, and an increase of 6.5% over contract backlog as of March 31, 2008. Organic backlog growth, excluding companies acquired during the last 12 months, was approximately 5.0% versus the year ago figure. Net income for the first half of 2008 was $73.3 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, an increase of 92.1% over net income of $38.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Revenues for the first half of 2008 totaled $3.38 billion compared to $2.66 billion, an increase of 27.3%, of which 14.3% represented organic growth. For the 2008 six-month period, operating income increased 109.2% to $123.0 million, or 3.6% of revenues, from $58.8 million, or 2.2% of revenues, for the year ago period. SG&A expenses for the first half of 2008 were $292.1 million, or 8.6% of revenues, compared to $234.7 million, or 8.8% of revenues for the first half of 2007. Frank T. MacInnis, Chairman and CEO of EMCOR Group, commented, "The 2008 second quarter represented another exceptional period for EMCOR Group that continued the momentum of prior periods and demonstrated strong performance across the key indicators of our business: orders, revenues, margins and cash flow. Excellent execution and performance was evidenced across all of our business segments, driven by our focus on sectors that can grow through the current economic cycle such as healthcare, industrial, transportation and water and wastewater treatment. In addition, our facilities services business continues to increase its profitability while growing both organically and through acquisitions. We also realized substantially improved results in our Canadian operations, and our U.K. company returned to profitability." Mr. MacInnis continued, "Our record performance, profit momentum, and strength of our order intake are bolstering our confidence about future periods. Additionally, we continue to see increased demand for our mission-critical facilities services business which adds a source of higher-margin, recurring revenues to our business not totally reflected in contract backlog." Mr. MacInnis concluded, "EMCOR remains in an excellent position to continue its strong performance in the second half of 2008 and into 2009. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, our markets continue to be strong and balanced evidenced by the continued demand for our services. Our goal going forward is to continue executing at the high level that is reflected in our excellent performance to date and to meet the developing needs of our clients." The Company noted that, based on current market conditions and the makeup of its backlog, it expects to generate revenues for the 2008 full-year period of between $6.8 billion and $7.0 billion and diluted earnings per share for 2008 of $2.32 to $2.47.
