CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2024 fourth quarter and full year financial results and issued its initial 2025 guidance expectation.

For the Fourth Quarter:

Fourth quarter 2024 revenue was $3.4 billion, compared to $3.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP net income was $84.7 million, or 2.5% of revenue, and diluted earnings per share were $0.95, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $124.0 million and $1.44, respectively, as compared to $48.0 million and $0.61, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $270.9 million, compared to $226.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 8.0% of revenue, a 110 basis point improvement over the fourth quarter of 2023.

18-month backlog as of December 31, 2024, was a record $14.3 billion, a $1.9 billion increase over 2023 and a $440 million increase sequentially from the third quarter of 2024.

Fourth quarter 2024 Cash Flow from Operations was very strong at almost $472 million, enabling further net debt reduction. Net debt leverage ratio also improved well ahead of expectations to 1.8x at year-end.

For the Full Year:

Full year performance improved significantly over 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenue was $12.3 billion, compared to $12.0 billion for the prior year. GAAP net income was $199.4 million, or 1.6% of revenue, and diluted earnings per share were $2.06, compared to a net loss of $47.3 million, or a loss of $0.64 per diluted share in 2023.

Full year 2024 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $348.3 million and $3.95, respectively, compared to $144.1 million and $1.81, respectively, for 2023.

Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was up 19% to $1.0 billion, compared to $846.4 million in 2023. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was up 110 basis points to 8.2% compared to 7.1% last year.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and net debt, which are all non-GAAP measures, exclude certain items that are detailed and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP-reported measures in the attached Supplemental Disclosures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures. 

Jose Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Third and fourth quarter financial performance showed substantial improvement in 2024 giving us great momentum into 2025. By focusing on execution, we saw nice margin expansion, exceeding our expectations, and we saw almost $2 billion in backlog growth for the company during the year, a leading indicator of the strong growth opportunities ahead of us."

Mr. Mas continued, "I'd once again like to thank the men and women of MasTec who work hard every day improving our business. Our people are building, maintaining, and improving our nation's energy, communications, transportation, and industrial infrastructure that we all rely on."

Paul DiMarco, MasTec's Executive Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer, noted, "We saw continued improvement in our balance sheet, driven by improvement in both earnings and our working capital, resulting in $1.1 billion of cash flow generated by operations for the year. With net debt leverage at a comfortable 1.8x adjusted EBITDA, we are positioned to shift back to a more balanced, return focused capital allocation framework."

2025 Outlook:

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing both first quarter and full year 2025 guidance. The Company currently expects full year 2025 revenue to be $13.45 billion, a record level. 2025 full year GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share are expected in the range of $327 to $366 million, and $3.75 to $4.24, respectively. Full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $1.10 to $1.15 billion, representing 8.2 – 8.5% of revenue, and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range from $5.35 to $5.84.

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company expects revenue of approximately $2.7 billion. First quarter 2025 GAAP net loss is expected to be $1 million, compared to a net loss of $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. First quarter 2025 GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be $0.05, compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.53 in the first quarter of 2024. First quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $160 million or 5.9% of revenue, with adjusted diluted earnings per share expected to be $0.34.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company made changes to its Communications and Power Delivery segment structure to more closely align with the segments' end markets and to better correspond with the operational management reporting structure of both segments. These changes included moving a component with utility operations previously reported in the Communications segment to the Power Delivery segment.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, February 28, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call-in number for the conference call is (856) 344-9221 or (888) 394-8218 with a pass code of 1616296. 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. The webcast replay will be available for at least 30 days.

The following tables set forth the financial results for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Backlog is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not, however, be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the next 18 months from future work on uncompleted construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers.

The tables may contain slight summation differences due to rounding.

MasTec uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as well as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Net Debt, to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of its core, or underlying, operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. MasTec believes that these adjusted measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in its underlying business. MasTec believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand its financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income, net income margin, diluted earnings per share or total debt, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. MasTec believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of its business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review MasTec's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
