Excluding these expenses, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the second quarter of 2016 was $58.1 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $1.90 billion compared to $1.93 billion for the second quarter 2016.

EMCOR Reports Second Quarter Results
 Page 2

The Company's income tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 36.8%, in line with the income tax rate in the year ago period.

Backlog as of June 30, 2017 was $4.10 billion, an increase of 7.6% from $3.81 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2016. Total domestic backlog grew $265.1 million year-over-year and backlog in the U.K. segment increased $25.0 million. Backlog growth in the U.S. Electrical Construction, U.S. Mechanical Construction and U.K. Building Services segments more than offset declines in the U.S. Building Services and U.S. Industrial Services segments. From an end-market perspective, backlog growth in the commercial, healthcare, institutional and hospitality markets was partially offset by declines in the industrial, transportation and water & wastewater sectors.

Tony Guzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company delivered record second quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations driven primarily by a combination of solid non-residential construction demand and strong project execution. Our combined U.S. Construction segments continued to deliver top-line growth, with overall revenues up 13.8% over last year, 11.2% of which was organic. Each of our segments, with the exception of our U.S. Industrial Services, delivered operating income growth. Notably, backlog continued to expand, increasing 7.6% year-over-year and 3% sequentially, with book-to-bill at the highest level in nearly two years. We are also encouraged that the growth in our backlog is broad-based across geographies and end-markets despite strong revenue growth.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments were once again standouts in the quarter, with organic revenue growth of 5% and 15%, respectively. Our U.S. Electrical Construction segment delivered a 40% increase in operating income and 160 basis points of operating margin expansion, while our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment saw a 40% increase in operating income, a portion of the gain driven by the recovery, within the quarter, of losses stemming from a contract dispute in late 2016. Excluding this recovery, operating income in our U.S. Mechanical Construction segment increased by a solid 9% in the second quarter, highlighting continued strong market demand for our services. Additionally, 2016’s second quarter was negatively impacted by a significant write-down on a transportation project within our U.S. Electrical Construction segment. We are also pleased with the performance of our U.S. Building Services segment, which despite a mid-single-digit decline in revenues, delivered a 9% increase in operating income and 60 basis points of operating margin expansion, largely as a result of the solid execution in the mobile mechanical services business within this segment. By contrast, second quarter results for our U.S. Industrial Services segment declined as expected, reflecting the fact we benefited from an elongated 2016 spring turnaround season and from a large specialty service project underway in the year ago quarter. Lastly, the results of our U.K. segment for the second quarter achieved a 7% increase in operating income and 80 basis points of operating margin expansion, despite significant foreign exchange headwinds.”

Revenues for the first six months of 2017 totaled $3.79 billion, an increase of 3.0% compared to $3.68 billion for the first six months of 2016. Net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2017 was $109.9 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, compared to $90.9 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2016. Included in net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2016 were after-tax transaction expenses of $2.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the acquisition of Ardent. Excluding these transaction expenses, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2016 was $93.2 million, or $1.52 per diluted share.

EMCOR Reports Second Quarter Results
 Page 3

Operating income for the first six months of 2017 was $175.6 million, or 4.6% of revenues, compared to $147.9 million, or 4.0% of revenues, for the first six months of 2016. Included in operating income for the first six months of 2016 were pre-tax transaction expenses of $3.8 million related to the acquisition of Ardent. Excluding these transaction expenses, non-GAAP operating income for the first six months of 2016 was $151.7 million, or 4.1% of revenues. SG&A totaled $364.3 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the first six months of 2017 compared to $349.2 million, or 9.5% of revenues, for the first six months of 2016.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We are very pleased with our execution year-to-date and encouraged by the increase in our backlog and the continued steady growth in U.S. non-residential construction. As a result, we are raising our 2017 revenue guidance to the high-end of our previous range and increasing our diluted earnings per share guidance. The midpoint of our guidance range represents a 13% increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, year-over-year, excluding the transaction expenses associated with the Ardent acquisition in 2016. Our updated guidance reflects the better than expected results reported in the first half of the year and the continued strength in the end-markets in which we operate. However, it also recognizes the headwinds that we face, particularly in our U.S. Industrial Services segment, which will continue to be impacted by the difficult year-over-year comparisons created by the large specialty service project in the second and third quarters of the prior year. As we look ahead, our healthy balance sheet will continue to provide us with the flexibility to pursue strategic acquisitions, while returning capital to our shareholders through additional share repurchases and dividends.”

Based on the current size and mix of backlog and expectations for continued improvement in market conditions, EMCOR now expects full year 2017 revenues to be approximately $7.6 billion, the high end of the previous guidance range of $7.5 billion to $7.6 billion. The Company now expects full year 2017 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.40 to $3.60, up from the previous range of $3.20 to $3.50.
