First Quarter 2025 Highlights
CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced first quarter 2025 financial results and updated full year 2025 financial guidance.
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter of financial performance, with key metrics showing strong year-over-year growth and also exceeding guidance," said Jose Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer. "While mid-single digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were both solid and EPS easily exceeded guidance, we are particularly encouraged by ongoing backlog development to record consolidated levels, including a more than doubling of backlog for the Pipeline Infrastructure segment since year-end." Mr. Mas added, "As always, I also want to thank all of MasTec's employees for their diligent efforts and dedication to delivering results for our customers every day."
"In addition to executing on growth during the first quarter, we generated another quarter of solid cash flow and ended the period with net debt leverage of 1.9x, steady versus the year end level," said Paul DiMarco, MasTec's Chief Financial Officer. "We also completed $37 million of share repurchases in the first quarter, with additional purchases in April exhausting the outstanding authorization and bringing the year-to-date total to $77 million at an average price of $110 per share. Our board also authorized an additional $250 million repurchase program today and we will continue to be opportunistic in repurchasing shares of MasTec stock."

Revenue: Revenue increased by 6% in the period including double digit growth contributions from all non-pipeline segments, partially offset by a decrease in our Pipeline Infrastructure segment.
GAAP Net Income/GAAP Diluted EPS: Improved GAAP Net Income and EPS driven by increased year-over-year project volumes, lower depreciation expense and lower interest expense and tax rate versus the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA: The increase was driven by volume gains and increased project productivity within Clean Energy and Infrastructure, partially offset by reduced project efficiencies primarily within the Power Delivery and Pipeline Infrastructure segments.
Backlog: Strong 24% growth from the prior year and 11% growth sequentially driven by increases in all four segments and most notably by Pipeline Infrastructure more than doubling backlog since year end.

Backlog is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not, however, be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the next 18 months from future work on uncompleted construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers.
