Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The results that we reported today were exceptional, setting a record for quarterly and full year revenues, operating income, and EPS, despite a challenging operating environment. As we look forward, we expect demand for our services to continue to be strong with remaining performance obligations increasing 33.2% year-over-year to a record of $7.46 billion, underscoring the strength of our project pipeline.”
Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments posted another quarter of strong results and an outstanding year overall, achieving combined record revenues in the fourth quarter. Notably, our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment had an exceptional year with 9.5% revenue growth, all of which was organic, and operating margins of 7.7% driven by strong execution on various semiconductor, data center, water and wastewater, and healthcare projects. Our utilization of BIM and continued enhancements in our prefabrication capabilities allowed us to deliver our services to customers in a safer and more efficient manner and helped counteract supply chain and inflationary challenges. Our U.S. Electrical Construction segment’s performance strengthened through the year as expected, and we finished the year more in line with our historical performance and expectations. Our U.S. Building Services segment had another excellent year, driven by outstanding performance across the majority of our service lines including repair service, site-based services, building controls, and HVAC projects. Driving much of this work is the demand for improved energy efficiency as energy prices remain volatile and customers' desire to extend the life of their HVAC equipment due to both long equipment lead times and availability issues. In our U.S. Industrial Services segment, revenue grew 13.4% year-over-year all on an organic basis as we continued to experience a resumption in the demand for our services. Our U.K. Building Services segment continues to perform well delivering an operating margin of 6.3% for the year, despite substantial foreign exchange headwinds.”
Revenues for the 2022 full-year period totaled $11.08 billion, an increase of 11.8%, compared to $9.90 billion for the 2021 full-year period. Net income for the 2022 full-year period was $406.1 million, or $8.10 per diluted share, compared to $383.5 million, or $7.06 per diluted share for the 2021 full-year period.
Operating income for the 2022 full-year period was $564.9 million, or 5.1% of revenues, compared to $530.8 million, or 5.4% of revenues, for the 2021 full-year period. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, of $108.6 million and $112.4 million for the 2022 and 2021 full-year periods, respectively.
SG&A totaled $1.04 billion, or 9.4% of revenues, for the 2022 full-year period, compared to $970.9 million, or 9.8% of revenues, for the 2021 full-year period.
Based on expected project mix and our current visibility into the coming year, EMCOR expects full-year 2023 revenues to be between $12.0 billion and $12.5 billion and full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share in the range of $8.75 to $9.50.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “Our strong operating performance in 2022 was a clear indication of our team’s ability to perform well in a challenging environment. We managed through the significant supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures that negatively impacted us in 2022. Our field leaders' tenacity and nimbleness coupled with our employees’ technical skill and flexibility drove our record performance. We expect to continue to build on the momentum that we have created over the last few years, with strong demand experienced across important end markets such as semiconductor, healthcare, biotech, pharma, data centers, and energy efficiency retrofits. Notably, our record remaining performance obligations provide us the visibility and confidence that we can achieve another successful year in 2023. Looking ahead, we will continue to execute our balanced capital allocation strategy, utilize our strong balance sheet to make organic investments, pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, and return cash to shareholders through dividends and repurchases.”
Dividend Increase
The Company today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase to the Company’s regular quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share from $0.15 per share. The Board expects to declare this cash dividend starting in the second quarter of 2023.
Mr. Guzzi said, "Increasing our dividend is a testament to our very successful fiscal year, our long-term confidence in our business and our solid financial position. We are excited about what the future holds for EMCOR and remain committed to creating long term value for our shareholders.”
