The Company's income tax rate for the 2024 full-year period was 26.9%, compared to 27.5% for the 2023 full-year period.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company reported outstanding results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. We achieved record revenues, operating income, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share for both the quarter and annual periods, reflecting strong demand for our services and exceptional execution by our team. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued momentum in demand, as evidenced by the 14.2% year-over-year increase in our remaining performance obligations."

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments posted another quarter of exceptional results, concluding an outstanding year. On a combined basis, these segments achieved record revenues and operating income for both the fourth quarter and full year. We remain confident in the future of these businesses given several tailwinds, including a strong project pipeline with a solid margin profile. Our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment had a particularly exceptional year with 26.2% annual revenue growth, most of which was organic, driven by strong performance across virtually every end market in which we operate. We believe that our investments in building information modeling, prefabrication, and digital tools have increased our productivity and led to operational efficiencies across this segment, as evidenced in part by an operating margin of 12.5% for the full year. Our U.S. Electrical Construction segment continued to perform very well as we benefited from consistent strong demand, particularly in the data center market. This segment also benefited from growth within the high-tech manufacturing market sector, as demand for our electrical construction services strengthened throughout the year, and the manufacturing and industrial market sector as we performed various projects for our energy sector customers. This performance is reflected in the segment’s revenue growth of 20.1% and operating margin of 13.4% for the full year. Despite facing several headwinds within our site-based services businesses, our U.S. Building Services segment had a solid year, with full-year 2024 revenues remaining essentially in line with those of 2023, as demand for mechanical services remained resilient, driven by energy efficiency retrofits and building automation and controls projects. Our U.S. Industrial Services segment continued to improve at a measured pace, delivering revenue growth of 9.4% and operating income growth of 25.0%, year-over-year. Our U.K. Building Services segment performed as we anticipated, reporting an operating margin of 5.0% for the full year, despite operating in a challenging macroeconomic environment.”

Full-Year 2025 Guidance

Based on anticipated project mix and current visibility into the coming year, EMCOR expects the following for the 2025 full year period:

• Revenues to be between $16.1 billion and $16.9 billion
• Operating Margins to be between 8.5% and 9.2%
• Diluted Earnings Per Share to be in the range of $22.25 to $24.00

Mr. Guzzi continued, "2024 was a remarkable year for EMCOR, marked by outstanding execution for our customers and record-breaking achievements across nearly every metric for the Company. Our total and organic revenue growth of 15.8% and 13.8%, respectively, and operating income growth of 53.6%, were fueled by our execution in key market sectors such as network and communications, high-tech manufacturing, institutional, healthcare, and manufacturing and industrial. The demand for our services in these areas remained strong as these projects require excellence in specialty trade contracting and a track record of delivering quality results. Despite challenges in certain parts of the business, our team consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability, showcasing the strength of EMCOR. We continued to realize the benefits of our organic growth initiatives as our investments in virtual design and construction and prefabrication created efficiencies that helped differentiate us from our competitors, especially when combined with the project-level expertise of our teams and the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet.”

Mr. Guzzi concluded, "Looking ahead to 2025, we are confident in our ability to win and execute complex projects in key sectors and geographies. Our record remaining performance obligations of $10.10 billion provide solid visibility into 2025. Recent acquisitions, including Miller Electric Company, which closed on February 3, 2025, reflect our focus on expanding and complementing our existing capabilities to better serve our customers. We will maintain our disciplined approach to capital allocation, focusing on organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders.”

Increases Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $500 million for the purchase of shares of its outstanding common stock under its existing share repurchase program.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, remarked, "Our continued outstanding performance in 2024, combined with our long-term confidence in our business, strong free cash flow and financial position, and commitment to returning cash to our shareholders as part of a balanced capital allocation strategy, are all reflected in another increase of our share repurchase program.”

Repurchases under the authorization will be funded by the Company's operations. Shares will be repurchased from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at the Company's discretion, subject to market conditions, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, recommenced, or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice.
