Remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 were $8.64 billion compared to $7.10 billion as of September 30, 2022. Remaining performance obligations grew approximately $1.53 billion year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company had another excellent quarter, resulting in multiple records across our business as we continue to build on strong momentum. Year-over-year revenues increased 13.5%, or 12.8% on an organic basis, driven by double-digit revenue growth in our combined U.S. Construction segments, as well as our U.S. Building Services segment. Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and tightened financing conditions creating a challenging macroeconomic environment, strong end-market demand, coupled with excellent execution, have helped drive our success this quarter.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments helped drive another quarter of solid growth, with revenues increasing 16.4% year-over-year on a combined basis. Specifically, our U.S Mechanical Construction segment delivered 19.9% year-over-year revenue growth, with an operating margin of 10.4% and our U.S. Electrical Construction segment performed exceptionally well with a third quarter operating margin of 9.1% and revenue growth of 10.1% year-over-year. We continue to see resilient demand for our services especially in semiconductors, data centers, manufacturing re-shoring, healthcare and across the EV value chain. We also continue to see strong demand for our nationwide fire & life safety projects and services. Our industry leading capabilities in building information modeling, prefabrication, project planning and labor sourcing have helped us adapt and navigate the ongoing supply chain and macroeconomic challenges. Our U.S. Building Services segment continues to perform well, with a strong mix of work across all service lines, achieving top line growth of 13.7%, and an operating margin of 7.0%. Contributing to this strength is continued demand for energy efficiency and retrofit projects, building automation and controls, IAQ upgrades, as well as maintenance and repair service projects. While the third quarter is typically the weakest for our U.S. Industrial Services segment, we continue to see modest improvement in this segment’s results year-over-year. Lastly, our U.K. Building Services segment is executing well with an operating margin of 8.0% despite challenging market conditions.”

Revenues for the first nine months of 2023 totaled $9.14 billion, an increase of 12.5%, compared to $8.13 billion for the first nine months of 2022. Net income for the first nine months of 2023 was $421.5 million, or $8.85 per diluted share, compared to net income of $279.8 million, or $5.50 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2022. Excluding the impact of the previously referenced impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2023, non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2023 was $423.2 million, or $8.88 per diluted share.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2023 was $586.6 million, representing an operating margin of 6.4%, compared to operating income of $387.7 million, representing an operating margin of 4.8% for the first nine months of 2022. Excluding the previously referenced impairment charge, non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2023 was $588.9 million.

Based on year-to-date performance, EMCOR is raising its full year 2023 guidance for revenues and diluted earnings per share. The Company now expects full year 2023 revenues to be approximately $12.5 billion, the top end of its prior guidance range of $12.0 billion to $12.5 billion, and currently expects full-year 2023 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $12.25 to $12.65, an increase from its prior guidance range of $10.75 to $11.25.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Given our strong year-to-date results, record remaining performance obligations, and the continued resilience of our business, we are raising our full year 2023 guidance for revenues and diluted earnings per share. Our strong balance sheet is a competitive advantage, and we will continue to be prudent capital allocators, pursuing both organic investments and strategic acquisitions, while also returning capital to shareholders and remaining cognizant of the uncertain macroeconomic and political landscape. Our team’s proven ability to successfully navigate challenging environments only bolsters our confidence in our future.”
