For the second quarter of 2022, net income was $100.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to $97.4 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021. Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $2.71 billion, up 11.1% from the year ago period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $137.6 million, or 5.1% of revenues. This compares to $133.4 million, or 5.5% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $245.4 million, or 9.1% of revenues, compared to $242.9 million, or 10.0% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company's income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 26.5% compared to an income tax rate of 26.8% for the second quarter of 2021.

Remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2022 were $6.46 billion compared to $5.11 billion as of June 30, 2021. Total remaining performance obligations grew $1.35 billion, or 26.5%, year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company posted another exceptional quarter, reflecting record quarterly revenues, up 11.1% year-over-year, 9.7% of which was organic, driven by double-digit growth across our U.S. Construction, U.S. Building Services and U.S. Industrial Services segments. Additionally, our continued focus on our customers and solid execution allowed us to deliver a healthy operating income margin of 5.1%, a strong sequential improvement from the first quarter of 2022. Finally, we continue to win in the marketplace, growing our remaining performance obligations to a record $6.46 billion, up 26.5% year-over-year.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments delivered a strong second quarter, achieving combined 11.6% year-over-year top-line growth and operating income margin of 6.9%, driven by strong demand for our specialty contracting construction services across many market sectors. Our U.S. Building Services segment continued its momentum, posting its sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth led by solid growth in our HVAC repair service and commercial site-based services division. While we continue to manage through supply chain challenges, partially impacting results in our U.S. Construction and U.S. Building Services segments, our scale, effective planning, and workforce scheduling positions us well to navigate the volatile operating environment heading into the back half of the year. Our U.S. Industrial Services segment is delivering as expected, with double-digit revenue growth resulting from extraordinarily high utilization rates from our downstream customers. Finally, our U.K. Building Services segment continues to deliver steady performance, generating operating margin of 5.6%, up 20 basis points year-over-year.”

Revenues for the first six months of 2022 totaled $5.30 billion, an increase of 11.8%, compared to $4.74 billion for the first six months of 2021. Net income for the first six months of 2022 was $174.1 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $182.1 million, or $3.32 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2021.

Operating income for the first six months of 2022 was $237.6 million, representing an operating margin of 4.5%, compared to operating income of $250.4 million, representing an operating margin of 5.3%, for the first six months of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $498.0 million, or 9.4% of revenues, for the first six months of 2022, compared to $467.0 million, or 9.8% of revenues, for the first six months of 2021.

Based on year-to-date performance, current operating conditions, and visibility into the remainder of the year, EMCOR is increasing its full-year 2022 revenue guidance to approximately $10.8 billion, an increase from the prior guidance range of $10.4 billion to $10.7 billion. The Company now also expects full-year 2022 diluted earnings per share in the range of $7.30 to $7.80 versus the prior guidance range of $7.15 to $7.85.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Heading into the back half of the year, we are pleased with our results to-date and are well positioned to build on our momentum despite ongoing supply chain challenges, potential COVID-related disruptions, and an uncertain macroenvironment. Our confidence is based on our expectations for strong project demand across key market sectors, favorable SG&A leverage, and a more normalized fall turnaround season for our U.S. Industrial Services segment. We also remain committed to pursuing a balanced approach to capital allocation, including maintaining a strong balance sheet, investing in organic growth and strategic acquisitions, and returning cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”
