- Record First Quarter Diluted EPS of $1.35, 5.5% Increase Year-over-Year -

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, April 30, 2020 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

For the first quarter of 2020, net income was $75.7 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to $72.4 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. Revenues for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $2.30 billion, an increase of 6.5%, compared to $2.16 billion for the first quarter of 2019.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2020 was $106.0 million, or 4.6% of revenues. This compares to $102.3 million, or 4.7% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $227.0 million, or 9.9% of revenues, compared to $206.2 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2019.

The Company's income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 27.4%, compared to an income tax rate of 27.5% for the first quarter of 2019.

Remaining performance obligations at March 31, 2020 were $4.42 billion, compared to $4.16 billion at March 31, 2019. Total U.S. remaining performance obligations grew approximately $284 million year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company achieved record first quarter revenues, operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share. We delivered revenue growth of 6.5% during the quarter, 2.7% of which was organic, led by double-digit growth in our U.S. Mechanical Construction and U.S. Industrial Services segments. Our steadfast commitment to excellent project execution delivered operating income growth of 3.6% year-over-year. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have record remaining performance obligations, up 6.4% year-over-year, underscoring the resiliency of our business and the underlying demand in the marketplace.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments delivered solid results, posting combined revenue and operating income growth of 6.2% and 6.1% year-over-year, respectively, led by strength in the healthcare and manufacturing market sectors. U.S. Building Services, which saw revenue growth of 1.2% year-over-year, faced the most disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic as the quarter progressed, primarily due to the closure or partial closure of customer facilities. U.S. Industrial Services, on the other hand, performed very well in a difficult environment, delivering revenue and operating income growth of 19.9% and 27.2% year-over-year, respectively, driven by strength in our field services operations, as a result of strong execution on several large turnarounds. Finally, we are pleased by the sustained strength in our U.K. Building Services segment, which generated revenue growth of 4.5% year-over-year and operating income growth of 39.2% year-over-year, resulting in 120 basis points of operating margin expansion.”

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “In response to the abrupt drop in activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focusing on the elements of our business within our control and reacting to the macroeconomic disruptions in a disciplined and process-oriented manner. Our robust contingency plans are serving us well as the situation evolves daily. We have implemented strict safety protocols for our employees and are reducing costs where appropriate. We continue to perform work for our customers where we are able to operate and are prepared to execute on our existing remaining performance obligations and support our customers as they restart their operations. Overall, we are in a strong financial position, with a solid and liquid balance sheet and access to additional capital through our recently amended and extended credit facility. We also have solid remaining performance obligations and a healthy project pipeline. We did, however, begin to experience certain disruptions caused by the pandemic and the associated containment and mitigation measures late in the first quarter and expect continued headwinds going into the second quarter and possibly into the third quarter. Looking forward, we are well-positioned to continue to serve our customers during this crisis and when the environment normalizes.”
