Filed February 25, 2021For Securities:EME

Summary

EMCOR Group, Inc. reported revenues of approximately $8.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The company experienced a year-over-year revenue decrease of 4.1%, primarily attributed to declines in its United States industrial services segment due to adverse market conditions in the oil and gas industry, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by revenue growth in its United States mechanical construction and building services segments. The company incurred a significant goodwill impairment charge of $232.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, largely impacting its industrial services segment. Excluding this charge, operating income and margin saw an increase, reflecting improved operational performance in its construction segments. EMCOR's remaining performance obligations increased to $4.59 billion at year-end 2020, indicating a strong backlog and future revenue potential. EMCOR also announced an increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.13 per share, signaling confidence in its financial stability and future prospects, supported by its share repurchase program and ongoing efforts to manage costs effectively amidst the challenging economic environment.
