CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) today announced strong 2021 fourth quarter and full year financial results and issued its initial 2022 guidance expectation.

For the Fourth Quarter:

Fourth quarter 2021 revenue was up 10.5% to $1.8 billion, compared to $1.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020. GAAP net income was $76.4 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $112.9 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $99.9 million and $1.35, respectively, as compared to $128.1 million and $1.75, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $219.3 million, compared to $261.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 12.1% compared to 16.0% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

18-month backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $9.9 billion, up 26% compared to year end 2020 backlog of $7.9 billion, and a 17% sequential increase of $1.4 billion from the third quarter 2021.

As previously announced, during the fourth quarter, MasTec completed the acquisition of Henkels & McCoy Group, Inc., a premier utility services provider with total transaction consideration approximating $600 million. The acquisition was effective December 30, 2021, and thus had no impact on fourth quarter or full year 2021 income statement results.

For the Full Year:

For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenue was up 26% to $8.0 billion, compared to $6.3 billion for the prior year. GAAP net income was $330.7 million, or $4.45 per diluted share, compared to $322.7 million, or $4.38 per diluted share in 2020.

Full year 2021 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $414.2 million and $5.58, respectively, compared to $376.4 million and $5.11, respectively, during 2020.

Full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $931.3 million, compared to $810.0 million in 2020. Full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 11.7% compared to 12.8% last year.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA, which are all non-GAAP measures, exclude certain items which 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, "We successfully completed 2021 with record revenue approaching $8 billion and record adjusted EBITDA of $931 million. I believe that our 2021 acquisition activity greatly enhances our end market positioning and diversification, while also adding significant scale and resource capacity to provide our customers a compelling suite of services. I'd like to once again welcome our new team members to the MasTec family and also thank the men and women of MasTec whose dedication to safety and efficient production are a key driving force to our success."

Mr. Mas continued, "In late 2020, a year with only $6.3 billion in revenue, we put out a long-term goal of $10 billion in revenue. While ambitious at the time, during the fourth quarter of 2021, less than 12 months later, we reiterated that revenue goal. Today, I am proud that our formal 2022 guidance now approximates $10 billion in annual revenue. Importantly, I am extremely excited about how our recently expanded operations and capacity will be integrated with our existing operations during the year to allow us to take full advantage of growth opportunities across multiple end markets in 2023 and beyond. I truly believe that the best is yet to come for MasTec and its shareholders."

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, "It is worth noting that following a year in which MasTec invested over $1.5 billion in acquisition activity, multiple agencies have granted MasTec an investment grade credit rating. MasTec continued to generate strong cash flow during 2021, and we enter 2022 with a strong balance sheet, ample liquidity and comfortable leverage metrics providing us the financial ability to take advantage of opportunities our markets afford us to maximize shareholder value."

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing both first quarter and full year 2022 guidance. The Company currently expects full year 2022 revenue will approximate $9.95 billion, a record level. 2022 full year GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share are expected to approximate $273 million and $3.58, respectively. Full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $950 million, also representing a record level, or 9.6% of revenue, and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be $5.32.

For the first quarter of 2022, the Company expects revenue of approximately $1.8 billion. First quarter 2022 GAAP net loss is expected to approximate $44 million, with GAAP diluted loss per share expected to be $0.58. First quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $90 million or 5.0% of revenue, with adjusted diluted loss per share expected to be $0.12. The projected loss in the first quarter is the result of a variety of factors, including a normal seasonally slow quarter, project delays, project start-up costs and integration costs related to fourth quarter acquisitions.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, February 25, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call-in number for the conference call is (313) 209-7315 or (877) 614-0009 and the replay phone number is (719) 457-0820 with a pass code of 1973524. The replay will be available for 30 days.
