EMCOR Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

For the second quarter of 2023, net income was $140.6 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, compared to $100.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $3.05 billion, an increase of 12.5% from the year ago period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $196.7 million, or 6.5% of revenues, compared to $137.6 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2022. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, of $29.0 million and $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $293.4 million, or 9.6% of revenues, compared to $245.4 million, or 9.1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2022.

The Company's income tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 27.4% compared to an income tax rate of 26.5% for the second quarter of 2022.

Remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2023 were $8.29 billion, compared to $6.46 billion as of June 30, 2022. Remaining performance obligations grew approximately $1.83 billion year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company posted record quarterly revenues, reflecting ongoing strength across nearly all segments and market sectors. Our ability to win and execute on large and sophisticated projects through our diverse capabilities drove revenue growth of 12.5% during the quarter, or 11.0% on an organic basis. Our consolidated operating margin expanded 140 basis points to a record 6.5% despite persistent inflationary and supply chain challenges. We continue to build on our healthy project pipeline as reflected by our record remaining performance obligations of $8.29 billion, which grew 28.2%, year-over-year. The most significant increases in RPOs were within the high-tech manufacturing and network and communications market sectors as we continue to experience strong demand for semiconductor and data center construction projects as well as throughout the EV value chain.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments delivered another quarter of solid top-line growth, up a combined 15.4% year-over-year, led by our U.S. Electrical Construction segment, which had revenue growth of 20.2% year-over-year and operating margin of 7.5%. Our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment continued to perform exceptionally well with second quarter operating margin of 10.0% and organic revenue growth of 12.9% year-over-year. Our U.S. Building Services segment generated a 12.9% increase in revenues with operating margin increasing to 6.0% due to strong demand for retrofit projects, building automation and controls, and maintenance and service repair work. Our U.S. Industrial Services segment also delivered revenue and operating income growth as we continued to see a steady increase in demand, led by greater new build heat exchanger orders. Finally, operating margin of our U.K. Building Services segment remained steady despite continued revenue headwinds from a challenging market.”

Revenues for the first six months of 2023 totaled $5.94 billion, an increase of 12.0%, compared to $5.30 billion for the first six months of 2022. Net income for the first six months of 2023 was $252.1 million, or $5.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $174.1 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2022.

Operating income for the first six months of 2023 was $351.6 million, or 5.9% of revenues, compared to operating income of $237.6 million, or 4.5% of revenues, for the first six months of 2022. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, of $57.5 million and $53.1 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $574.5 million, or 9.7% of revenues, for the first six months of 2023, compared to $498.0 million, or 9.4% of revenues, for the first six months of 2022.

Based on year-to-date performance, current operating conditions, and near-term visibility, EMCOR is increasing its full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share guidance range to $10.75 to $11.25, an increase from the prior guidance range of $9.25 to $10.00. The Company is maintaining its full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $12.0 billion to $12.5 billion.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We are executing with discipline and flexibility. Our investments over the past few years continue to position us well as we advance forward through 2023. While supply chain challenges have persisted, we have learned to mitigate these obstacles and operate with greater efficiency, helping us achieve all time quarterly records for revenues, operating income, operating margin, and diluted EPS. We remain committed to our balanced capital allocation strategy of pursuing both organic investments and strategic acquisitions, while returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our robust balance sheet is a differentiator as we serve sophisticated customers on large, complex, and technologically advanced projects.”
