Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments continue to deliver outstanding results, posting combined revenue and operating income growth of 5.0% and 23.1% year-over-year, respectively, led by our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment in particular, which delivered revenue growth of 8.4% year-over-year and operating income growth of 43.8% year-over-year. U.S. Building Services performed exceptionally well, generating revenue and operating income growth of 10.3% and 38.0%, respectively, driven primarily by our commercial site-based and mobile mechanical services businesses. Our U.S. Industrial Services segment experienced a difficult quarter as the Texas Freeze impacted our turnaround schedule, but we remain well-positioned to assist our customers when the market strengthens. Lastly, our U.K. Building Services segment continued to take advantage of strong project demand, delivering revenue and operating income growth of 12.8% and 63.3%, respectively, which led to operating margin expansion of 230 basis points year-over-year.”
Based on year-to-date performance and assuming a gradual improvement of current market conditions as the year progresses, EMCOR is raising its full-year 2021 diluted earnings per share guidance range to $6.35 to $6.75, an increase from the prior guidance range of $6.20 to $6.70. The Company is maintaining its full-year 2021 revenue guidance of $9.2 billion to $9.4 billion.
Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We are optimistic about our prospects for the remainder of the year. Our values of Mission First, People Always will continue to guide us as we focus on the health and safety of our employees, while executing our work for our customers with excellence. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in our business and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, while also returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”
