EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
For the first quarter of 2023, net income was $111.5 million, or $2.32 per diluted share, compared to $73.4 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $2.89 billion, an increase of 11.5% from the year ago period.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2023 was $154.9 million, or 5.4% of revenues, compared to $100.0 million, or 3.9% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $281.2 million, or 9.7% of revenues, compared to $252.6 million, or 9.7% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2022.
The Company's income tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 27.0% compared to an income tax rate of 26.5% for the first quarter of 2022.
Remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2023 were $7.87 billion, compared to $5.95 billion as of March 31, 2022. Total remaining performance obligations grew approximately $1.92 billion year-over-year.
Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company posted record first quarter revenues reflecting solid year-over-year growth despite a challenging operating environment. Strong demand for our services across several resilient non-residential market sectors, and from the majority of our reportable segments, drove revenue growth of 11.5% during the quarter, 10.1% of which was organic. Our consolidated operating margin expanded 150 basis points to 5.4% despite persistent inflationary and supply chain challenges. We continue to have strong near-term visibility with a healthy project pipeline reflected by our record remaining performance obligations of $7.87 billion, which grew $1.92 billion, or 32.3%, year-over-year.”
Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments drove another quarter of solid top-line growth, up a combined 13.8% year-over-year, led by our U.S. Electrical Construction segment, which delivered revenue growth of 23.5% year-over-year. Our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment continues to perform exceptionally well with first quarter operating margin of 8.0% and organic revenue growth of 8.7% year-over-year. Our U.S. Building Services segment generated a 14.1% increase in revenues, driven by its mechanical services division, which continued to experience broad based growth across all service lines. Operating margin of U.S. Building services increased to 5.2% as we successfully executed project work and managed to address some of the supply chain challenges that negatively impacted our business last year. Our U.S. Industrial Services segment improved at a steady pace, delivering solid revenue and operating income results as we continue to see modest increases in the demand for our services and we execute work for our customers. Finally, our U.K. Building Services segment had declines in revenue and operating income as it faced recessionary pressure and foreign exchange headwinds.”
Based on year-to-date performance, current operating conditions, and strong near-term visibility, EMCOR is increasing its full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share guidance range to $9.25 to $10.00, an increase from the prior guidance range of $8.75 to $9.50. The Company is maintaining its full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $12.0 billion to $12.5 billion.
Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Looking forward at the balance of the year, we will continue to execute with discipline and flexibility. We are positioned well as we advance forward through 2023 and, while supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures still exist, we will continue to adapt to these challenges through better planning, estimating, and resource allocation. We expect to generate strong operating cash flow and remain committed to our balanced capital allocation strategy, pursuing both organic investments and strategic acquisitions, as well as returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”
