MasTec Announces Third Quarter Results

- Q3 Revenue of $1.1 Billion - Q3 Backlog increases 12% to a Record $4.6 Billion - YTD Q3 cash flow from operations of $261 Million, a $180 Million increase over last year - Q3 Continuing Operations Adjusted EBITDA of $91 Million - Q3 Continuing Operations Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.26 - Issues Guidance for the remainder of 2015

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2015 third quarter financial results and updated its guidance for the balance of the year.

Third quarter 2015 revenue decreased 15.5% to $1.1 billion compared to $1.3 billion for the prior year quarter.  Third quarter 2015 net income from continuing operations was $7.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $49.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter 2015 results include approximately $0.14 per diluted share for non-operating and non-core charges not included in prior year results, composed primarily of Audit committee  investigation related costs, WesTower acquisition integration costs, a project loss related to a non-controlled joint venture and a settlement charge from a court mandated mediation related to a 2013 project dispute.

Third quarter 2015 adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $20.4 million compared to $52.0 million in 2014. Third quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.26, compared to $0.60 last year.  Third quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $91.1 million compared to $138.3 million in 2014.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share and continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, exclude, as applicable, WesTower acquisition integration costs, Audit Committee investigation related costs, losses on a non-controlled joint venture, a settlement charge from a court mandated mediation related to a 2013 project dispute, the non-recurring impact on deferred tax liabilities resulting from an income tax law change in Alberta, Canada, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While we are disappointed with our results in 2015, we believe it will prove to be a transitional year. We continue to be very encouraged about our growth prospects for 2016 and beyond, with exciting opportunities in Oil & Gas, Wireless and Fiber network upgrades. Our current backlog is at record levels, reflecting an approximate $500 million increase during the quarter across multiple segments. Additionally, we expect continued significant backlog growth during the fourth quarter, including over $1.5 billion of additional oil & gas projects awarded to us, which we expect will be included in backlog during the fourth quarter when these contracts are fully executed." 

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We continued our 2015 strong cash flow from operations performance during the quarter, with year to date cash flow from operations of $261 million, an increase of approximately $180 million compared to last year. We continue to believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of significant growth opportunities in the markets we serve in 2016 and beyond." 

The Company currently estimates fiscal year 2015 revenue of $4.1 to $4.15 billion. Continuing operations adjusted EBITDA for 2015, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $295 to $305 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non–GAAP measure, at $0.53 to $0.60.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company expects revenue of approximately $0.9 to $1.0 billion.  Fourth quarter 2015 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated between $70 to $80 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated between $0.10 to $0.17.

Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time.  The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-0404 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 198550.  The replay will be available for 30 days.  Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the Investors section of the Company's website at www.mastec.com.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including the effect of economic conditions on demand for our services, trends in oil, natural gas, electricity and other energy source prices; reduced capital expenditures by our customers, reduced financing availability, customer consolidation and technological and regulatory changes in the industries we serve; market conditions, technological developments and regulatory changes that affect us or our customers' industries; our ability to accurately estimate the costs associated with our fixed price and other contracts, including any material changes in estimates for completion of projects, and performance on such projects; customer disputes related to our performance of services; disputes with, or failures of, our subcontractors to deliver agreed-upon supplies or services in a timely fashion; any material changes in estimates for legal costs or case settlements or adverse determinations on any claim, lawsuit or proceeding; our ability to replace non-recurring projects with new projects; the timing and extent of fluctuations in geographic, weather, equipment and operational factors affecting the industries in which we operate; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, key management and skilled employees, including from acquired businesses, and our ability to enforce any noncompetition agreements, integrate acquired businesses within expected timeframes and achieve the revenue, cost savings and earnings levels from such acquisitions at or above the levels projected; any exposure related to divested businesses; any exposure resulting from system or information technology interruptions or data security breaches; the impact of U.S. federal, local or state tax legislation and other regulations affecting renewable energy, electricity prices, electrical transmission, oil and gas production, broadband and related projects and expenditures; the effect of state and federal regulatory initiatives, including costs of compliance with existing and future environmental requirements; increases in fuel, maintenance, materials, labor and other costs; fluctuations in foreign currencies; risks associated with operating in international markets, which could restrict our ability to expand globally and harm our business and prospects or any failure to comply with laws applicable to our foreign activities; the highly competitive nature of our industry; our dependence on a limited number of customers; the ability of our customers, including our largest customers, to terminate or reduce the amount of work, or in some cases, the prices paid for services on short or no notice under our contracts; the impact of any unionized workforce on our operations, including labor availability and relations; liabilities associated with multi-employer pension plans, including underfunding and withdrawal liabilities, for our operations that employ unionized workers; the adequacy of our insurance, legal and other reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts; restrictions imposed by our credit facility, senior notes, and any future loans or securities; our ability to obtain performance and surety bonds; the outcome of our plans for future operations, growth and services, including business development efforts, backlog, acquisitions and dispositions; any dilution or stock price volatility that shareholders may experience in connection with shares we may issue as consideration for earn-out obligations or as purchase consideration in connection with past or future acquisitions, or other stock issuances; as well as other risks detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ significantly from results expressed or implied in these statements. Other risks include uncertainties related to the previously disclosed Audit Committee's independent investigation, including, without limitation: the time needed to complete the investigation; whether the Audit Committee's investigation will lead to the discovery of additional accounting errors, whether the investigation will discover any additional material weakness in internal control over financial reporting or discover other adverse facts; unanticipated material issues that could delay the completion of the investigation or cause additional delays in the release and filing of the Company's financial results and periodic financial reports; and possible regulatory action or private party litigation. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
