MasTec Announces In-line Third Quarter Results, Updates 2014 Guidance and Issues Preliminary 2015 Guidance Range

October 30, 2014

- Q3 Revenue of $1.3 Billion
- Q3 Continuing Operations Adjusted EBITDA of $132 Million
- Q3 Continuing Operations Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.56
- Updates 2014 Guidance to reflect WesTower Communications Inc. Acquisition
- Issues Preliminary 2015 Guidance Range

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2014 third quarter financial results.

Third quarter 2014 revenue increased 3.2% to $1.31 billion from $1.27 billion for the prior year quarter.  The quarterly revenue increase was driven by a 7.4% increase in the Oil & Gas segment, an 11.6% increase in the Electrical Transmission segment and a 34.4% increase in the Power Generation and Industrial segment, partially offset by a 7.0% decrease in the Communications segment, which reflects previously announced expected lower wireless project revenue. Third quarter 2014 net income from continuing operations was $45.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $49.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013.

Third quarter 2014 adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $48.3 million compared to $51.8 million in 2013. Third quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.56, compared to $0.61 last year.  Third quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $132 million compared to $135 million in 2013.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share and continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP measures, exclude the impact of discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt from the 2013 refinancing of our senior notes due 2017, Sintel litigation charges, non-cash stock based compensation and acquisition integration expense. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We had a good quarter, with strong double-digit growth in Power Generation and Electrical Transmission and high single-digit growth in Oil & Gas, which counterbalanced the anticipated and previously announced reduction in wireless project spending.  We remain very encouraged by the long term outlook in our businesses. The recently completed acquisition of WesTower will be an important part of MasTec's future expansion in the wireless market. We also see strong bidding opportunities in Oil & Gas, Electrical Transmission and 1-gigabit fiber expansion.  We are well positioned for growth in numerous markets throughout North America and expect 2015 to be an excellent year for MasTec and its stakeholders." 

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We expect strong cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter, due to the seasonality of our operations and the initiation of working capital reduction initiatives at our recently acquired WesTower subsidiary. As previously indicated, we are evaluating our debt structure after the WesTower acquisition in order to ensure we have ample resources to take advantage of attractive growth opportunities."  

The Company currently estimates fiscal year 2014 revenue of approximately $4.6 billion. 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at approximately $425 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, also a non-GAAP measure, at approximately $1.55.

Non-GAAP measures guidance excludes acquisition integration costs associated with the recent acquisition of WesTower, which amounts are expected to approximate $20 million and be incurred over the next several quarters.  Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Due to the recent acquisition of WesTower, the Company is now providing preliminary financial performance estimates for 2015. The Company currently estimates that 2015 revenue will increase 13-17% over expected 2014 revenue to $5.2 to $5.4 billion, with continuing operations adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, of approximately 10% of revenue, and continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, also a non-GAAP measure, in the range of $2.00 to $2.15.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, October 31, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time.  The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-0387 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 2976388.  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.
