Filed October 28, 2021For Securities:EME

Summary

EMCOR Group, Inc. reported strong revenue growth in the third quarter of 2021, reaching a new quarterly record of $2.52 billion, a 14.5% increase year-over-year. This growth was broad-based across most of its operating segments, including U.S. electrical and mechanical construction, U.S. building services, and U.K. building services. The company's net income attributable to EMCOR Group, Inc. also saw a significant increase to $99.7 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, up from $61.2 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the prior year's quarter. This improvement was driven by revenue growth, a more normalized tax rate, and a reduced share count due to ongoing share repurchases. While overall performance is robust, the U.S. industrial services segment continues to face headwinds due to lingering effects of the pandemic and lower demand in the oil and gas market, leading to a year-to-date operating loss for this segment. Despite this, the company's strong backlog of $5.38 billion indicates continued demand for its services, and management remains cautiously optimistic about future performance.
