CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2014 second quarter financial results in-line with guidance issued in June 2014.

Second quarter 2014 revenue increased 13% to $1.1 billion from $978 million for the prior year quarter. The quarterly revenue increase was driven by a 23% increase in the Oil & Gas segment, a 49% increase in the Power Generation segment and a 6% increase in the Communications segment, reflecting lower wireless project revenue growth levels as indicated in the Company's June 2014 guidance. Net income from continuing operations was $32.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share compared to $35.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013.

Second quarter 2014 adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $34.7 million compared to $39.9 million in 2013. Second quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.40, compared to $0.47 last year. Second quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $106 million compared to $110 million in 2013.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share and continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, exclude the impact of discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt from the 2013 refinancing of our senior notes due 2017, the 2013 Sintel litigation charge and non-cash stock based compensation expense. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We had a challenging second quarter, primarily because of slowdown in revenue growth of wireless projects. Our guidance for the second half of 2014 reflects reduced levels of expected wireless project revenue, when compared to prior year, and we have taken and will continue to take steps to mitigate the impact of these reduced revenue levels. We anticipate a return to a more normalized level of wireless project revenue in 2015."

Mr. Mas continued, "We are very encouraged by the long term outlook in all our businesses. The recently completed acquisition of Pacer Construction will be an important part of MasTec's future expansion in the growing Canadian energy infrastructure market, including oil sands, oil and gas, high-voltage electrical infrastructure and LNG markets.

Mr. Mas concluded, "We see unprecedented bidding opportunity in multiple markets. We continue to see excellent growth opportunities in oil & gas, electrical transmission, wireless, power generation and 1-gigabit fiber expansion. In fact, subsequent to quarter end, we were awarded a contract for approximately a quarter of a billion dollars of 1-gigabit fiber deployment work, which was not included in our second quarter backlog number. In short, we are well positioned for growth in numerous markets throughout North America and expect 2015 to be a strong year for both revenue growth and profit margin expansion."

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We improved cash flow from operations during the second quarter, and expect strong cash flow from operations during the second half of the year. During the second quarter, we retired our $115 million principal amount of senior convertible notes that matured in June and expanded our senior credit facility to $1 billion, while adding the capability to borrow in Mexican pesos. These transactions both lower our financing costs on a rate basis and further strengthen our financial flexibility to pursue strategic growth opportunities in the markets we serve across North America."

The Company currently estimates fiscal year 2014 revenue of $4.4 to $4.5 billion. 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $420- $425 million, with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non–GAAP measure, at $1.55 to $1.58.

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company expects revenue of approximately $1.30 - $1.35 billion. Third quarter 2014 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is estimated at $132 million with continuing operations adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, of approximately $0.56.

Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to GAAP-reported measures are attached.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. The call-in number for the conference call is (913) 312-0687 and the replay number is (719) 457-0820, with a pass code of 6006689. The replay will be available for 30 days. Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the Investors section of the Company's website at www.mastec.com.
