CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced record 2013 full year revenue, net income, diluted earnings per share and EBITDA. This is the fourth consecutive year of record financial results.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.16 billion compared to $932 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 24%, with strong revenue growth across most segments. Oil and Gas segment revenue increased 103%, Electrical Transmission increased 27% and Communications increased 8%, driven by a 40% increase in wireless projects. Net income from continuing operations was $43 million or $0.50 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2013, compared to $38 million or $0.46 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Fourth quarter 2013 adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $45 million compared to $38 million in 2012, an increase of 17%. Fourth quarter 2013 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.53 compared to $0.47 in 2012, an increase of 13%. Fourth quarter 2013 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $123 million compared to $100 million in 2012, an increase of 23%.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share and continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, exclude the impact of discontinued operations, charges related to the legacy Sintel litigation, which took place in Spain and dated back to 2001, loss on extinguishment of debt from the 2013 refinancing of our senior notes due 2017, as well as non-cash stock based compensation expense. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue was $4.3 billion compared to $3.7 billion for 2012, an increase of 16%, with strong revenue growth across most segments. Oil and Gas segment revenue increased 70%, Electrical Transmission increased 37% and Communications increased 11%, driven by a 38% increase in wireless projects. Net income from continuing operations was $148 million or $1.74 per diluted share for the year ended 2013 compared to $117 million or $1.42 per diluted share for the year ended 2012.

For the year ended 2013, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $161 million compared to $125 million for the year ended 2012, an increase of 28%. 2013 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.90 compared to $1.53 per diluted share in 2012, an increase of 24%. 2013 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $449 million compared to $336 million in 2012, an increase of 34%. 2013 continuing operations EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 10.4% compared to 9.0% in 2012, a 140 basis point increase. 18-month backlog as of December 31, 2013, increased 23% to $4.1 billion compared to $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2012.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $200 million compared to $173 million for the prior year, an increase of $16%. During 2013, MasTec increased Liquidity to $585 million. The Company defines Liquidity as unrestricted cash plus availability under the Company's credit facility.

Jose Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2013 was another record-breaking year for MasTec in terms of revenue, earnings, EBITDA and with strong margin expansion and cash flow. We continue to see great momentum in the markets we serve and are very excited about the growth opportunities for revenue and margin growth that exist across our wireless, oil and gas pipeline, electrical transmission, fiber deployment and renewable power markets. We expect another record year in 2014 and are bullish about our growth prospects in 2015 and beyond."

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, "We are pleased with the 16% increase in 2013 cash flow from operations and expect continued improvement in cash flow during 2014. Our capital structure and balance sheet are in excellent financial position to support internal growth and other future growth opportunities in the markets we serve."

Today, the Company is issuing both first quarter and full year 2014 guidance. The Company currently estimates 2014 revenue of approximately $4.65 to $4.7 billion. 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $520 to $525 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share at $2.27 to $2.30.

For the first quarter of 2014, the Company expects revenue of approximately $920 million. First quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $74 million with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated at $0.20. The first quarter is normally our seasonally weakest period and the estimated financial results also reflect the impact of severe weather disruptions early this year. Additionally, 2014 guidance reflects the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes related to our Canadian operations when compared to 2013.

Estimated 2014 non-GAAP measures are calculated on a basis consistent with historical non-GAAP measures. 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 Friday, February 28, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-1483 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 1715065. The replay will be available for 30 days.
