CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) today announced first quarter 2025 financial results and updated full year 2025 financial guidance.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter of financial performance, with key metrics showing strong year-over-year growth and also exceeding guidance," said Jose Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer. "While mid-single digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were both solid and EPS easily exceeded guidance, we are particularly encouraged by ongoing backlog development to record consolidated levels, including a more than doubling of backlog for the Pipeline Infrastructure segment since year-end." Mr. Mas added, "As always, I also want to thank all of MasTec's employees for their diligent efforts and dedication to delivering results for our customers every day."

"In addition to executing on growth during the first quarter, we generated another quarter of solid cash flow and ended the period with net debt leverage of 1.9x, steady versus the year end level," said Paul DiMarco, MasTec's Chief Financial Officer. "We also completed $37 million of share repurchases in the first quarter, with additional purchases in April exhausting the outstanding authorization and bringing the year-to-date total to $77 million at an average price of $110 per share. Our board also authorized an additional $250 million repurchase program today and we will continue to be opportunistic in repurchasing shares of MasTec stock."

Revenue:  Revenue increased by 6% in the period including double digit growth contributions from all non-pipeline segments, partially offset by a decrease in our Pipeline Infrastructure segment.

GAAP Net Income/GAAP Diluted EPS:  Improved GAAP Net Income and EPS driven by increased year-over-year project volumes, lower depreciation expense and lower interest expense and tax rate versus the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA:  The increase was driven by volume gains and increased project productivity within Clean Energy and Infrastructure, partially offset by reduced project efficiencies primarily within the Power Delivery and Pipeline Infrastructure segments.

Backlog:  Strong 24% growth from the prior year and 11% growth sequentially driven by increases in all four segments and most notably by Pipeline Infrastructure more than doubling backlog since year end.

Revenue:  The revenue increase was driven primarily by higher levels of wireless and wireline project activity, partially offset by lower install-to-the-home project activity.

EBITDA:  EBITDA margin increase of 180 basis points driven by improved efficiencies across both wireless and wireline businesses, coupled with volume improvement benefit.

Revenue:  Significant revenue increase driven by project activity volume improvement and mix primarily within renewables, heavy civil and other infrastructure projects.

EBITDA:  EBITDA margin increased by a notable 350 basis points from project mix benefits, improved productivity and efficiencies across certain renewable and infrastructure project work, and the benefit of higher volume in the period.

Revenue:  The increase in revenue was driven by project activity volume improvement principally within transmission and distribution-related projects and, to a lesser extent, increases in substation project work.

EBITDA:  EBITDA margin decreased by 60 basis points year-over-year primarily from reduced productivity at certain project sites, partially offset by volume improvement in the period.

Revenue:  The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by expected lower volumes following the fourth quarter 2024 completion of a large midstream project, partly offset by an increase in other infrastructure-related pipeline work.

EBITDA:  EBITDA margin decreased by 210 basis points from the prior year quarter due primarily to the reduced volume in the period as well as negative mix effects.

Backlog is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not, however, be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the next 18 months from future work on uncompleted construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tables may contain slight summation differences due to rounding.

MasTec uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as well as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage (defined as total debt, net of cash and deferred financing costs, divided by trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA) and Free Cash Flow, to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of its core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. MasTec believes that these adjusted measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in its underlying business. MasTec believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand its financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income or diluted earnings per share or total debt or net cash provided by operating activities, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. MasTec believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of its business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review MasTec's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
