“Our
record second-quarter results … were driven by strong performance across our
domestic operations, including excellent results within our U.S. mechanical and
electrical segments, and continued strong performance in our facilities
services segment, which grew in line with our expected rate for this business,”
said Chairman and CEOFrank T. MacInnis. “While we are very pleased with our financial
performance, we are also encouraged by the trajectory of our backlog in recent
quarters in terms of both amount and composition.
“EMCOR has focused its efforts
on leveraging the private sector commercial and hospitality/gaming markets as
well as other markets such as healthcare. Not only have these efforts
generated strong financial results, they have also served to increase the
proportion of our backlog consisting of larger and more complex projects, which
tend to have longer durations and increasing profit opportunities.”
MacInnis
stated the company is increasing its anticipated year-end 2007 diluted earnings
per share to $1.48 - $1.60, while increasing and narrowing its 2007 revenues
guidance to $5.6 billion - $5.7 billion.
EMCOR’s financial results for
prior year periods have been adjusted to reflect its 2-for-1 stock split,
effective July 9, 2007.
