Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “Our team continued to perform exceptionally well and delivered another great quarter, maintaining our momentum and again setting new records across key financial and operational metrics. Record RPOs of $9.8 billion, along with a robust and diverse pipeline of future opportunities, demonstrates the continued demand for our services. Our record operating cash flow and strong and liquid balance sheet enable us to compete and win on sophisticated projects, and support our organic growth and balanced capital allocation strategy.” First Nine Months 2024 Results of Operations Revenues for the first nine months of 2024 totaled $10.80 billion, an increase of 18.1%, compared to $9.14 billion for the first nine months of 2023.

Mr. Guzzi continued, “Our Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments continued their very strong performance, with combined third quarter revenue growth of nearly 24% and a combined operating margin of 13.3%. With quarterly and year-to-date revenue growth of 25% and 32%, respectively, our Mechanical Construction segment again generated record revenues, and achieved record operating margins of 12.9% in the quarter and 12.2% year-to-date. Our Electrical Construction segment also posted record revenues, with growth of 21% on a quarterly basis and 19% for the year-to-date period, and achieved record operating margins of 14.1% in the quarter and 12.4% year-to-date. Our impressive execution and performance were driven by excellent field leadership and a commitment to continuous innovation, coupled with a favorable mix of work including data centers and semi-conductor plants, other high-tech and traditional manufacturing projects, and growing demand within the institutional, healthcare, and water and wastewater sectors. Our U.S. Building Services segment performed as expected, with our mechanical services business benefiting from strong performance across its portfolio of work, including HVAC retrofits, repair service, building controls upgrades, and service maintenance agreements. This segment continues to experience quality aftermarket opportunities across most sectors. Our Industrial Services segment continues to experience a gradual resumption of demand, performing well in both the field and our shops as we execute against a more typical fall turnaround season. Our U.K. Building Services segment also continues to perform well in a difficult market, winning new work and poised to secure additional opportunities with customers that demand a strong technical solution for their facilities.” Full Year 2024 Guidance Based on year-to-date 2024 performance, current operating conditions, and near-term visibility, the Company is: 1. Adjusting its full-year 2024 revenue guidance to at least $14.5 billion, from the prior guidance range of $14.5 billion - $15.0 billion. 2. Increasing its full-year 2024 diluted earnings per share guidance range to $20.50 - $21.00, from the prior guidance range of $19.00 - $20.00. Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Given our momentum and execution to date, in addition to our record RPOs and strong and diverse project pipeline, we are again raising our 2024 diluted earnings per share guidance. We remain confident in our strategic positioning within growth-oriented sectors and geographies and believe our dedication to operational excellence and prudent capital allocation will deliver continued value for our customers and shareholders."  – MORE – Page 4 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call Information EMCOR Group's third quarter conference call will be broadcast live via internet today, Thursday, October 31, at 10:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time and can be accessed through the Company's website at www.emcorgroup.com .
