REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS - Adjusted EPS of $0.45 excluding non-cash impairment charge; loss of $(2.64) including $226 million non-cash impairment charge - - Company increases 2010 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.78 to $1.90; $(1.36) to $(1.24) including non-cash impairment charges and Qtr. 2 gain on sale - NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, November 2, 2010 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. The Company recorded a net loss for the 2010 third quarter of $175.6 million, or $(2.64) per diluted share. Excluding a non-cash impairment charge discussed below, adjusted net income was $30.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to net income of $40.0 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. Revenues in the third quarter of 2010 totaled $1.28 billion, compared to $1.37 billion in the third quarter a year ago. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company concluded that impairment indicators existed within its United States facilities services segment based upon year to date results and recent forecasts. As a result, the Company performed applicable tests as prescribed by the accounting literature and recognized a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $226.2 million, or $3.09 per diluted share after-tax. The impairment charge results primarily from the negative impact of recessionary trends in the refining industry on the revenues and operating margins of the industrial services operations in the Company's facilities services business, as well as continuing uncertainty about the pace and timing of improved demand for refined products. The impairment did not have any impact on the Company's compliance with its debt covenants or on its cash flows. EMCOR Reports Third Quarter Results Page 2 Including the above-mentioned non-cash impairment charge and restructuring expenses of $1.7 million, the operating loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $174.4 million. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge, the Company's non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2010 was $51.8 million, or 4.1% of revenues. Operating income in the 2009 third quarter was $67.3 million, or 4.9% of revenues, which included restructuring expenses of $0.1 million. For the third quarter of 2010, the Company's Canadian construction subsidiary recorded an operating loss of $4.6 million primarily due to a write-down on a construction project. Excluding the impact of the write-down, operating income of the Canadian subsidiary was $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to operating income of $4.5 million in the same period last year, reflecting good performance especially in the nuclear energy and healthcare sectors. 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 (SG&A) decreased 13.4% to $119.5 million, or 9.4% of revenues, in the 2010 third quarter, from $137.9 million, or 10.1% of revenues, in the year-ago period. For the third quarter of 2010, net interest expense was $2.5 million, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, reflecting higher borrowing costs under the Company's new revolving credit facility. Contract backlog as of September 30, 2010 was $3.14 billion, largely unchanged from contract backlog of $3.15 billion as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Compared to 2009 year-end backlog, the Company's current backlog reflects growth in the healthcare, industrial and institutional sectors, which offset declines in the commercial, hospitality/gaming and transportation markets. Frank T. MacInnis, Chairman and CEO of EMCOR Group, commented, "We continue to be encouraged by the underlying results of our businesses through the third quarter, which largely reflected steady performance and solid operational execution. While the impairment charge taken during the quarter was required, it is the result of weak industry-wide conditions in the refining sector and not something specific to our operations, which we believe remain well positioned to take advantage of an upturn in that marketplace when it occurs." Mr. MacInnis concluded, "While we continue to operate in a challenging economic environment, overall demand remains stable, driven by our strong backlog in the government and healthcare markets. We are committed to growing both organically through disciplined project bidding and solid execution, and through the continued pursuit of attractive acquisition targets, as evidenced by our recent acquisition of Harry Pepper & Associates. Although the pace of the eventual recovery in our markets is uncertain, our diverse business model provides a stable base through this economic slowdown while giving us the flexibility and confidence to take advantage of improving market conditions when they occur." EMCOR Reports Third Quarter Results Page 3 For the first nine months of 2010, the Company reported a net loss of $126.7 million, or $(1.91) per diluted share. The net loss included the above-mentioned charges, as well as a $19.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share after-tax, non-cash impairment charge in the 2010 second quarter, a pre-tax gain of $7.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share after-tax, in the 2010 second quarter from the gain on the sale of the Company's equity interest in its Middle East venture to its venture partner, and restructuring expenses of $2.5 million. Excluding all non-cash impairment charges and the gain on sale, net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $83.9 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $121.6 million, or $1.81 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2009. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 included $4.2 million in restructuring expenses. Revenues for the first nine months of 2010 were $3.77 billion, compared to $4.19 billion for the first nine months of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, the Company reported an operating loss of $97.1 million, or (2.6)% of revenues. Excluding the non-cash impairment charges, the Company's non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2010 was $149.0 million, or 4.0% of revenues, compared to $206.4 million, or 4.9% of revenues, in the comparable 2009 period. SG&A for the first nine months of 2010 was $363.0 million, or 9.6% of revenues, compared to $402.7 million, or 9.6% of revenues for the first nine months of 2009. For the 2010 nine-month period, net interest expense was $7.3 million, compared to $2.2 million in the same year ago period, and as previously announced reflects the acceleration of expense for debt issuance costs associated with the repayment and termination of a term loan and the Company's 2005 revolving credit facility, increased borrowing costs under the Company's new revolving credit facility and decreased interest income on invested cash balances. The Company noted that, based on the current size and mix of its contract backlog and assuming a continuation of existing market conditions, it continues to expect to generate revenues in 2010 of approximately $5 billion and now expects adjusted earnings per share for 2010 of $1.78 to $1.90, before the above-mentioned impairments and gain on sale items, reflecting better than previously anticipated margin performance. Including the impairment charges and gain on sale items, the Company expects to generate diluted earnings per share of $(1.36) to $(1.24). Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the comparable GAAP figures.
