EMCOR GROUP, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
 
 - Record Quarterly Revenue of $1.65 Billion; 6.4% Increase Year-over-Year -
 - Record Quarterly Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.74 -
 - 2015 Revenue Guidance Maintained; 2015 EPS Guidance Range Narrowed -

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, July 30, 2015 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR was $47.0 million in the second quarter, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $41.3 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014. Revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were $1.65 billion, an increase of 6.4% from revenues of $1.55 billion in the second quarter of 2014.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2015 was $77.7 million, or 4.7% of revenues, compared to operating income of $69.7 million, or 4.5% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $161.4 million, or 9.8% of revenues, compared to $150.4 million, or 9.7% of revenues, in the year ago period.

The Company's income tax rate in the 2015 second quarter was 38.0%, compared to an income tax rate of 37.7% in the year ago period.

Backlog as of June 30, 2015 was $3.62 billion compared to $3.63 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2014 and $3.74 billion as of March 31, 2015. Domestic backlog was essentially flat on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting backlog growth in the U.S. Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments, offset by declines in backlog in the U.S. Building Services and U.S. Industrial Services segments. Backlog growth in the commercial, water/wastewater and hospitality/gaming sectors was offset by declines in backlog in the healthcare, transportation, industrial and institutional sectors.

Tony Guzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR Group, commented, “A healthy return to organic growth in the second quarter, combined with solid execution, resulted in record second quarter revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share and put us back on track for the year. We achieved some recovery from the first quarter’s adverse impact of weather and experienced a slight improvement from refinery turnaround project deferrals related to the first quarter refinery strike. We are very pleased with the mix of projects we are working on and the consistent strength of our backlog going forward.”
    
Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Electrical Construction segment continues to produce strong operating margins, and, as the year progresses, we expect continued strong performance within this segment. Our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment generated improved operating margins and returned to organic growth. Our U.S. Building Services segment demonstrated improved performance at our commercial site-based services operations and continued strong performance from our mobile mechanical services operations. Finally, our U.S. Industrial Services segment showed significant improvement in terms of both revenue and operating margins from the year ago quarter.”

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We are pleased with our performance thus far in 2015 and particularly with the organic growth achieved in the second quarter after a challenging first quarter of the year. With a diverse backlog that we expect to grow in the back half of the year and a non-residential market that continues to improve, we are confident in our ability to meet our 2015 objectives. We also remain focused on maintaining a strong and liquid balance sheet, pursuing opportunities to invest in our future growth, and delivering value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”

Revenues for the first six months of 2015 totaled $3.24 billion, an increase of 3.1% compared to $3.14 billion for the first six months of 2014. Net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2015 was $80.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $84.7 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2014.

Operating income for the first six months of 2015 was $133.0 million, or 4.1% of revenues. For the first six months of 2015, SG&A totaled $323.0 million, or 10.0% of revenues, compared to $294.3 million, or 9.4% of revenues, in the first six months of 2014.

EMCOR continues to expect full year 2015 revenues to be approximately $6.6 billion based on the current size and mix of its backlog and assuming continued improvement in current market conditions. The Company narrowed its full year 2015 guidance for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to between $2.65 and $2.85 per share.

EMCOR Group, Inc. is a Fortune 500 leader in mechanical and electrical construction services, industrial and energy infrastructure and building services. This press release and other press releases may be viewed at the Company’s Web site at www.emcorgroup.com.
