Summary

Summary of the 10-K filed February 25, 2021. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

EMCOR Group, Inc. reported revenues of approximately $8.8 billiona 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 millionb 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 billionc 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.
