EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

For the third quarter of 2022, net income was $105.8 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $99.7 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021. Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $2.83 billion, up 12.1% from the third quarter of 2021.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2022 was $150.1 million, or 5.3% of revenues, compared to operating income of $137.4 million, or 5.4% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2021. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, of $27.5 million and $29.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $263.1 million, or 9.3% of revenues, compared to $243.9 million, or 9.7% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2021.

The Company's income tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 28.5% compared to an income tax rate of 27.2% for the third quarter of 2021.

Remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2022 were $7.10 billion compared to $5.38 billion as of September 30, 2021. Remaining performance obligations grew approximately $1.72 billion year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company had an excellent quarter, building off the solid momentum from the first half of the year to deliver record quarterly revenues and diluted earnings per share. These strong results were delivered in the midst of a challenging macroeconomic landscape, a testament to our team’s ability to operate and adapt to changing conditions. Year-over-year revenues increased 12.1%, or 10.8% on an organic basis, driven by double-digit revenue growth in our U.S. Construction and U.S. Building Services segments.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments helped drive another quarter of solid top-line growth, up 14% year-over-year on a combined basis. Data center, semiconductor, and fire protection project awards continued to be very strong in the quarter. The supply chain environment remains very challenging and has not improved substantially over recent months. While we are improving how we are managing these challenges, project mix and supply chain issues did impact margins in our U.S. Electrical Construction segment during the quarter. Despite a difficult year-over-year comparison in our U.S. Building Services segment, we were able to achieve top-line growth of nearly 14% and expand operating margins to 6.4%. While the third quarter is seasonally the weakest quarter of the year for our U.S Industrial Services segment, we expect a normal fall turnaround schedule. Finally, our U.K. Building Services segment continues to perform very well. Foreign exchange headwinds more than offset the growth of the business in local currency terms, while operating income and operating margin improved despite these same headwinds.”

Revenues for the first nine months of 2022 totaled $8.13 billion, an increase of 11.9%, compared to $7.26 billion for the first nine months of 2021. Net income for the first nine months of 2022 was $279.8 million, or $5.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $281.9 million, or $5.17 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2021.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2022 was $387.7 million, representing an operating margin of 4.8%, compared to operating income of $387.8 million, representing an operating margin of 5.3% for the first nine months of 2021. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, of $80.6 million and $84.2 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $761.1 million, or 9.4% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $710.9 million, or 9.8% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2021.

Based on the year-to-date performance, EMCOR is raising its full year 2022 guidance for revenues and diluted earnings per share. The Company now expects full year 2022 revenues to be approximately $11.0 billion, an increase from the prior guidance of approximately $10.8 billion, and expects full-year diluted earnings per share in the range of $7.60 to $7.85 per share, an increase from the prior guidance range of $7.30 to $7.80 per share.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Given our strong year-to-date results, record remaining performance obligations, and continued optimism in our ability to successfully perform in this environment, we are raising our full year 2022 guidance for revenues and diluted earnings per share. Our confidence in our execution and prospects is also reflected in our return of nearly $677 million in cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends on a year-to-date basis, as well as our continued focus on acquiring assets that strengthen our geographic footprint and project and services capabilities. Thus far this year, we have spent $91.1 million in total on acquisitions, including our most recent acquisition of Boston area-based Gaston Electrical Co., LLC. We remain committed to our long standing balanced capital allocation strategy that has helped drive long-term value creation for our shareholders. The diversity of our business, strong financial position, and robust demand across all of our end markets positions us well for continued success even in this challenging environment. Our team’s proven ability to successfully navigate this environment only bolsters our confidence in the Company's future.”
