Filing Impact
Filing Sentiment
Form Type
10-Q
EMCOR Group, Inc. delivered record quarterly results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Revenues rose to $4.63 billion, up 19.7% from $3.87 billion a year earlier, driven by broad-based demand and contributions from recent acquisitions.
Net income increased to $305.5 million, with diluted earnings per share of $6.84 versus $5.26, helped by higher operating income and a lower average share count from buybacks. Operating income reached $403.8 million, or 8.7% of revenues, compared with 8.2% in the prior-year quarter, as the company leveraged its overhead while maintaining a gross margin of 18.7%.
Growth was strongest in the U.S. mechanical and electrical construction segments, particularly in network and communications projects such as data centers. EMCOR ended the quarter with $916.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding borrowings under its $1.30 billion revolving credit facility, and remaining performance obligations of $15.62 billion.

EMCOR Group grew Q1 2026 revenue 19.7% to $4.63 billion, with operating income up to $403.8 million and margin improving to 8.7%. Net income reached $305.5 million, helped by strong performance in U.S. construction segments and recent acquisitions.
Acquisitions, including Miller Electric and nine 2025 deals, added $234.1 million of revenue and $20.6 million of operating income in Q1. The company maintained a stable gross margin of 18.7% while reducing SG&A as a percentage of revenue to 9.9%, indicating effective cost leverage during rapid growth.
Liquidity appears solid with $916.4 million in cash, no debt aside from small finance leases, and a $1.30 billion revolving credit facility undrawn as of March 31 2026.

remaining performance obligations financial
"Our remaining performance obligations at March 31, 2026 were $15.62 billion."
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
cost-to-cost input method financial
"Our fixed price construction projects generally use a cost-to-cost input method to measure our progress."
variable consideration financial
"To the extent the performance obligation includes variable consideration, including contract bonuses and penalties..."
surety bonds financial
"The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies... surety bonds as a condition to the award."
Surety bonds are agreements in which a third party promises to step in and pay or complete work if the primary party fails to meet a contract or obligation — think of it as a credit-backed promise that something will get done. For investors, surety bonds matter because they lower the risk that projects, contracts or repayments will collapse; their presence and strength affect a project's reliability, a borrower's perceived creditworthiness, and potential recovery if problems arise.
multi-district litigation regulatory
"Those lawsuits were thereafter assigned the status of “multi-district litigation” and consolidated in the 281st District Court."
self-insured retentions financial
"We have loss payment deductibles... and have self-insured retentions for certain other casualty claims."

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.
References to the “Company,” “EMCOR,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words refer to EMCOR Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. Readers of this report should refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations.
The results of operations of companies acquired have been included in our results of operations from the date of their respective acquisition by us.
On December 1, 2025, we sold EMCOR (UK) Limited and EMCOR Group (UK) plc, which collectively represented our United Kingdom building services segment (collectively, “EMCOR UK”).
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
NOTE 2 - New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), which requires disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, about certain income statement expense line items on an interim and annual basis. This guidance requires entities to provide more detailed information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation expense, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses. Such guidance, which is required to be applied prospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. While the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures, including the processes and controls around the collection of this information.
NOTE 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by applying the following five step model:
(1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when: (a) the parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (b) the rights of the parties can be identified, (c) payment terms can be identified, (d) the arrangement has commercial substance, and (e) collectability of consideration is probable. Judgment is required when determining if the contractual criteria are met, specifically in the earlier stages of a project when a formally executed contract may not yet exist. In these situations, the Company evaluates all relevant facts and circumstances, including the existence of other forms of documentation or historical experience with our customers that may indicate a contractual agreement is in place and revenue should be recognized. In determining if the collectability of consideration is probable, the Company considers the customer’s ability and intention to pay such consideration through an evaluation of several factors, including an assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer and our prior collection history with such customer.

NOTE 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)
(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract and identifies, as a separate performance obligation, each distinct promise to transfer goods or services to the customer. The identified performance obligations represent the “unit of account” for purposes of determining revenue recognition. In order to properly identify separate performance obligations, the Company applies judgment in determining whether each good or service provided is: (a) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
In addition, when assessing performance obligations within a contract, the Company considers the warranty provisions included within such contract. To the extent the warranty terms provide the customer with an additional service, other than assurance that the promised good or service complies with agreed upon specifications, such warranty is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In determining whether a warranty provides an additional service, the Company considers each warranty provision in comparison to warranty terms which are standard in the industry.
Our contracts are often modified through change orders to account for changes in the scope and price of the goods or services we are providing. Although the Company evaluates each change order to determine whether such modification creates a separate performance obligation, the majority of our change orders are for goods or services that are not distinct within the context of our original contract and, therefore, are not treated as separate performance obligations.
(3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to our customers. The consideration promised within a contract may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. To the extent the performance obligation includes variable consideration, including contract bonuses and penalties that can either increase or decrease the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price utilizing one of two prescribed methods, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled. Such methods include: (a) the expected value method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts, and (b) the most likely amount method, whereby the amount of variable consideration to be recognized represents the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts. When applying these methods, the Company considers all information that is reasonably available, including historical, current, and estimates of future performance. The expected value method is typically utilized in situations where a contract contains a large number of possible outcomes while the most likely amount method is typically utilized in situations where a contract has only two possible outcomes.
Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This threshold is referred to as the variable consideration constraint. In assessing whether to apply the variable consideration constraint, the Company considers if factors exist that could increase the likelihood or the magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue, including, but not limited to, whether: (a) the amount of consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence, such as the actions of third parties, (b) the uncertainty surrounding the amount of consideration is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time, (c) the Company’s experience with similar types of contracts is limited or that experience has limited predictive value, (d) the Company has a practice of either offering a broad range of price concessions or changing the payment terms and conditions of similar contracts in similar circumstances, and (e) the contract has a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts.
Pending change orders represent one of the most common forms of variable consideration included within contract value and typically represent contract modifications for which a change in scope has been authorized or acknowledged by our customer but the final adjustment to contract price is yet to be negotiated. In estimating the transaction price for pending change orders, the Company considers all relevant facts, including documented correspondence with the customer regarding acknowledgment of and/or agreement with the modification, as well as historical experience with the customer or similar contractual circumstances. Based upon this assessment, the Company estimates the transaction price, including whether the variable consideration constraint should be applied.

NOTE 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)
Contract claims are another form of variable consideration which is common within our industry. Claim amounts represent revenue that has been recognized for contract modifications that are not submitted or are in dispute as to both scope and price. In estimating the transaction price for claims, the Company considers all relevant facts available. However, given the uncertainty surrounding claims, including the potential long-term nature of dispute resolution and the broad range of possible consideration amounts, there is an increased likelihood that any additional contract revenue associated with contract claims is constrained. The resolution of claims involves negotiations and, in certain cases, litigation. In the event litigation costs are incurred by us in connection with claims, such litigation costs are expensed as incurred, although we may seek to recover these costs.
For some transactions, the receipt of consideration does not match the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer. For such contracts, the Company evaluates whether this timing difference represents a financing arrangement within the contract. Although rare, if a contract is determined to contain a significant financing component, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money when determining the transaction price of such contract. Although our customers may retain a portion of the contract price until completion of the project and final contract settlement, these retainage amounts are not considered a significant financing component as the intent of the withheld amounts is to provide the customer with assurance that we will complete our obligations under the contract rather than to provide financing to the customer. In addition, although we may be entitled to advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts, these advanced payments generally do not represent a significant financing component as the payments are used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract, as well as to protect us from our customer failing to meet its obligations under the contract.
Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation would have been sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If the standalone selling price is not observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account all available information such as market conditions and internal pricing guidelines. In certain circumstances, the standalone selling price is determined using an expected profit margin on anticipated costs related to the performance obligation.
(5) Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied
The Company recognizes revenue at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to its customers. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control. The Company can transfer control of a good or service and satisfy its performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following three criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as we perform, (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
For our performance obligations satisfied over time, we recognize revenue by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion can be either an input method or an output method and requires judgment based on the nature of the goods or services to be provided.

NOTE 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)
For our construction contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time as our performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as it is created or enhanced. Our fixed price construction projects generally use a cost-to-cost input method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For our unit price construction contracts, progress towards complete satisfaction is measured through an output method, such as the number of units produced or delivered, when our performance does not produce significant amounts of work in process or finished goods prior to complete satisfaction of such performance obligations.
For our services contracts, revenue is also generally recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance as we perform the service. For our fixed price service contracts with specified service periods, revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over such service period when our inputs are expended evenly and the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance throughout the contract term.
The timing of revenue recognition for the manufacturing of new build heat exchangers within our United States industrial services segment depends on the payment terms of the contract, as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us. For those contracts for which we have a right to payment for performance completed to date at all times throughout our performance, inclusive of a cancellation, we recognize revenue over time. For these performance obligations, we use a cost-to-cost input method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. However, for those contracts for which we do not have a right, at all times, to payment for performance completed to date, we recognize revenue at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. For bill-and-hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the heat exchanger, which may be prior to shipping if certain recognition criteria are met.
For certain of our revenue streams, such as call-out repair and service work, outage services, refinery turnarounds, and specialty welding services that are performed under time and materials contracts, our progress towards complete satisfaction of such performance obligations is measured using an output method as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance completed to date.
Changes in Estimates
Based on an evaluation of individual projects that were substantially complete in prior periods but had revisions to total estimated costs or anticipated contract value (inclusive of the settlement of previously outstanding change orders and claims) that resulted in an increase to profitability in excess of $1.0 million, we recognized revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

NOTE 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recognized in the period we deliver goods and services to our customers or when our right to consideration is unconditional. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to reduce outstanding receivables to their net realizable value. Judgment is required when determining expected credit losses. Estimates of such losses are recorded when we believe a customer, or group of customers, may not be able to meet their financial obligations due to deterioration in financial condition or credit rating. Factors relevant to our assessment include our prior collection history with our customers, the related aging of past due balances, projections of credit losses based on historical trends in credit quality indicators or past events, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In addition to monitoring delinquent accounts, management reviews the credit quality of its receivables by, among other things, obtaining credit ratings of significant customers, assessing economic and market conditions, and evaluating material changes to a customer’s business, cash flows, and financial condition.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses was $22.1 million and $22.8 million, respectively. Allowances for credit losses are based on the best facts available and are reassessed and adjusted on a regular basis as additional information is received. Should anticipated collections fail to materialize, or if future economic conditions compare unfavorably to our forecasts, we could experience an increase in our credit losses.
The change in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was as follows (in thousands):

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our construction projects when revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceed the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts are not yet billable under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements, as well as our contracts to perform turnaround services within the United States industrial services segment, are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded as revenue is recognized in advance of billings.
Also included in contract assets are amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders or modifications in dispute or unapproved as to scope and/or price, or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Contract assets are generally classified as current within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities from our construction contracts arise when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and are recorded as either current or long-term, depending upon when we expect to recognize such revenue. The long-term portion of contract liabilities is included in “Other long-term obligations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table presents the transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“remaining performance obligations”) for each of our reportable segments and their respective percentages of total remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands, except for percentages):

| United States building services | % | ||||||||||
| United States industrial services | % | ||||||||||
| Total operations | $ | % | |||||||||
Our remaining performance obligations at March 31, 2026 were $15.62 billion. Remaining performance obligations increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as we perform work and recognize revenue on existing contracts. We include a project within our remaining performance obligations at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. Our remaining performance obligations include amounts related to contracts for which a fixed price contract value is not assigned when a reasonable estimate of the total transaction price can be made.
Remaining performance obligations include unrecognized revenues to be realized from uncompleted construction contracts. Although many of our construction contracts are subject to cancellation at the election of our customers, in accordance with industry practice, we do not limit the amount of unrecognized revenue included within remaining performance obligations for these contracts as the risk of cancellation is very low due to the inherent substantial economic penalty that our customers would incur upon cancellation or termination. We believe our reported remaining performance obligations for our construction contracts are firm and contract cancellations have not had a material adverse effect on us.
Remaining performance obligations also include unrecognized revenues expected to be realized over the remaining term of service contracts. However, to the extent a service contract includes a cancellation clause which allows for the termination of such contract by either party without a substantive penalty, the remaining contract term, and therefore, the amount of unrecognized revenues included within remaining performance obligations, is limited to the notice period required for the termination.
Our remaining performance obligations are comprised of: (a) original contract amounts, (b) change orders for which we have received written confirmations from our customers, (c) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmations in the ordinary course of business, (d) claim amounts that we have made against customers for which we have determined we have a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and as to which the variable consideration constraint does not apply, and (e) other forms of variable consideration to the extent that such variable consideration has been included within the transaction price of our contracts. Such claim and other variable consideration amounts were immaterial for all periods presented.

NOTE 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses
Acquisitions are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method of accounting and the prices paid for them are allocated to their respective assets and liabilities based upon the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisition by us.
During the first quarter of 2026, we acquired a company for an immaterial amount. This company provides mechanical and sheet metal fabrication services in the Western region of the United States, and its results have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment.
On February 3, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Miller Electric Company (“Miller Electric”), a leading electrical contractor that operates predominantly across the Southeastern United States. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100 % of Miller Electric's capital stock for total cash consideration of $876.8 million, inclusive of working capital and other customary adjustments. This acquisition complements our existing electrical construction capabilities in high-growth end markets and expands our geographic presence. The results of operations of Miller Electric have been included within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. In connection with this acquisition, we incurred $9.4 million of transaction related costs during the first quarter of 2025. These expenses were included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Assets: | ||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | |||||||

In addition to Miller Electric, during calendar year 2025, we acquired nine companies, for upfront consideration of $182.1 million, inclusive of customary working capital adjustments. These acquisitions are comprised of: (a) five companies that have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, including: (i) two companies in the Midwestern region of the United States that provide building automation controls and solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers, (ii) a company that adds capabilities to our national fire protection offerings, (iii) a provider of mechanical construction and maintenance services in the Western region of the United States, and (iv) a full service mechanical contractor in the Northeast region of the United States, and (b) four companies that have been included in our United States building services segment, which enhance our building automation and controls or energy efficiency offerings. In connection with these acquisitions, we acquired working capital of $2.0 million and other net assets of $8.2 million and have preliminarily ascribed $67.2 million to goodwill and $104.7 million to identifiable intangible assets.
We expect that all of the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocations for the business acquired in 2026 and two of the businesses acquired in 2025 are preliminary and subject to change during their respective measurement periods as we finalize asset valuations and certain tax matters, among other items. The finalization of these items may result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired or liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocations for the other businesses acquired in 2025 have been finalized during their respective measurement periods with an insignificant impact.
On December 1, 2025, we completed the sale of EMCOR UK. Given the size of EMCOR UK, this transaction did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and, therefore, is not presented as discontinued operations.

NOTE 7 - Debt
Excluding finance lease liabilities of $6.1 million at March 31, 2026 and $6.3 million at December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The current portion of our finance lease liabilities of $2.4 3.7 million and $3.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in “Other long-term obligations” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have a credit agreement dated December 20, 2023 (the “2023 Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $1.30 billion revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”) expiring December 20, 2028 . If additional lenders are identified and/or existing lenders are willing to increase their current commitments, we may increase the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility by an amount equal to the greater of: (a) $900 million or (b) the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA (as such term is defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) for the twelve-month period ending immediately prior to the increase in commitment. We may allocate up to $600.0 million of available capacity under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility to letters of credit for our account or for the account of any of our subsidiaries.

NOTE 7 - Debt (Continued)
At the Company’s election, borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either: (1) a base rate plus a margin of 0.125 % to 0.875 %, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement), or (2) a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the applicable tenor plus 0.10 % (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus a margin of 1.125 % to 1.875 %, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. The base rate is determined by the greater of: (a) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Bank of Montreal from time to time, (b) the federal funds effective rate, plus ½ of 1.00%, (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor, plus 1.00 %, or (d) 0.00 %.
A commitment fee is payable on the average daily unused amount of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 0.125 % to 0.25 %, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. The fee was 0.125 0.85 % to 1.875 % of the respective face amounts of outstanding letters of credit, depending on the nature of the letter of credit, and are computed depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio.
Obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by most of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets. The 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants providing for, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain limitations on the payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness, and capital expenditures. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
NOTE 8 - Fair Value Measurements
For disclosure purposes, we utilize a fair value hierarchy to categorize qualifying assets and liabilities into three broad levels based on the priority of the inputs used to determine their fair values. The hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, is comprised of the following three levels:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables summarize the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

NOTE 8 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We have recorded goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in connection with our business acquisitions. Such assets are measured at fair value at the time of acquisition based on valuation techniques that appropriately represent the methods which would be used by other market participants in determining fair value. We determine the fair value of our trade name intangible assets by utilizing the relief from royalty payments methodology. This approach involves two steps: (a) estimating a reasonable royalty rate for the trade name and (b) applying this royalty rate to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. Key assumptions under this method are future revenues, royalty rate, and discount rate. The fair value of our intangible assets related to contract backlog and customer relationships is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. Key assumptions in the valuation of customer relationship intangible assets are revenue growth, operating margin, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. Backlog intangible assets are based on future revenue from contracts already awarded at the time of acquisition. Key assumptions in the valuation of backlog intangible assets include operating margin and discount rate. Other assumptions utilized in these valuation techniques include tax rate and contributory asset charges.
In addition, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain other long-lived assets are tested for impairment using similar valuation methodologies to determine the fair value of such assets.
Periodically, we engage an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation process, including the selection of appropriate methodologies and the development of market-based assumptions. The inputs used for these nonrecurring fair value measurements represent Level 3 inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We believe that the carrying values of our financial instruments, which include accounts receivable and other financing commitments, approximate their fair values due primarily to their short-term maturities and low risk of counterparty default. Although there were no outstanding borrowings under our 2023 Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of any debt associated with this agreement would approximate its fair value due to the variable rate on such debt.
NOTE 9 - Income Taxes

The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 % and our effective income tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was primarily a result of state and local income taxes and other permanent book-to-tax differences.
The increase in our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to greater income before income taxes. The decrease in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was attributable to the impact of favorable discrete tax items during the first quarter of 2026.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no
We file a consolidated federal income tax return including all of our U.S. subsidiaries with the Internal Revenue Service. We additionally file income tax returns with various state, local, and foreign tax agencies. Our income tax returns are subject to audit by various taxing authorities and are currently under examination by certain states for the years 2021 through 2024.

NOTE 10 - Common Stock
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 44,439,940 and 44,520,367 shares of our common stock outstanding, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we issued 41,579 and 52,275 shares of common stock, respectively. These shares were issued upon the satisfaction of required conditions under our share-based compensation plans.
We have paid quarterly dividends since October 25, 2011. We currently pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share.
In September 2011, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a share repurchase program allowing us to begin repurchasing shares of our outstanding common stock. Subsequently, the Board has from time to time increased the amount authorized for repurchases under such program. Since the inception of the repurchase program, through March 31, 2026, the Board has authorized us to repurchase up to $3.65 billion of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 0.1 million shares of our common stock for $87.7 million, inclusive of the applicable excise tax. Since the inception of the repurchase program through March 31, 2026, we have repurchased 28.6 million shares of our common stock for $3.06 billion. As of March 31, 2026, there remained authorization for us to repurchase $592.9 million of our shares. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended, recommenced, or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. We may repurchase our shares from time to time to the extent permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, including provisions in our 2023 Credit Agreement placing limitations on such repurchases.
NOTE 11 - Commitments and Contingencies
Severance Agreements
We have agreements with our executive officers and certain other key management personnel providing for severance benefits for such employees upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances.
Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we, at times, guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees.
Surety Bonds
The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies, and provide to our customers, surety bonds as a condition to the award of such contracts. These surety bonds are issued in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of the bond, and secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts. We have agreed to indemnify the surety companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of surety bonds issued on our behalf. As of March 31, 2026, based on the percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by surety bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was $4.19 billion, which represents approximately 27 % of our total remaining performance obligations.
Surety bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for certain of our employees, at the request of labor unions representing such employees. In addition, surety bonds may be issued as collateral for certain insurance obligations. As of March 31, 2026, we satisfied $105.5 million of the collateral requirements of our insurance programs by utilizing surety bonds.
We are not aware of any losses in connection with surety bonds that have been posted on our behalf, and we do not expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future.
Hazardous Materials
We are subject to regulations with respect to the handling or disposal of certain materials used in the performance of our services, which are classified as hazardous or toxic by federal, state, and local agencies. Our practice is to avoid participation in projects principally involving the remediation or removal of such materials. However, when remediation is required as part of our contract performance, we believe we comply with all applicable regulations governing hazardous materials or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.

NOTE 11 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Government Contracts
When we perform work as a federal government contractor/subcontractor or when we perform work on a project that has received federal government funding, we are subject to U.S. government audits and investigations relating to our operations, which such audits may result in fines, penalties and compensatory and treble damages, and possible suspension or debarment from doing business with the government. Based on currently available information, we believe the outcome of ongoing government disputes and investigations will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Legal Proceedings
We face potential exposure in several legal proceedings in which damages or claims (including, without limitation, indemnification claims by named defendants in legal proceedings in which we are not a party) have been asserted against us. We believe that we have valid defenses to such proceedings and claims, but litigation is inherently uncertain. We additionally maintain insurance coverage for certain of these matters, although these policies do not cover all possible claims and certain of the policies are subject to large deductibles and retentions. We do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We record a loss contingency if we consider the potential loss from a proceeding or claim probable, and we are able to reasonably estimate the amount or can reasonably determine a range of loss. We provide disclosure when we believe a loss in excess of any recorded provision is reasonably possible. Significant judgment is required in these determinations. As additional information becomes available, we reassess prior determinations and may change our estimates. Additional claims may be asserted against us in the future. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. A litigation matter for which liabilities have not been recorded could be decided unfavorably to us, and any such unfavorable decision could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
On October 10, 2024, a chemical release occurred at the PEMEX Deer Park Refinery in Deer Park, Texas. As a result of the release, two people were killed and approximately 200 others claim to have suffered bodily injuries. Several lawsuits were filed in Harris County, Texas on behalf of the various claimants. Those lawsuits were thereafter assigned the status of “multi-district litigation” and consolidated in the 281st District Court, Harris County. Repcon, Inc. (“Repcon”) and EMCOR Industrial Services, Inc. (“EIS”), indirect subsidiaries of the Company, have been named in several of the lawsuits, and Repcon has also been subject to contractual indemnification claims. Repcon expects to participate in mediations related to this matter. Based on currently available information, we believe insurance will cover much or all of any amounts required to be paid by Repcon or EIS in connection with these claims.

Business Description
We are one of the largest specialty contractors in the United States and a leading provider of electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services, building services, and industrial services. Our services are provided to a broad range of commercial, technology, manufacturing, industrial, healthcare, utility, and institutional customers through approximately 100 operating subsidiaries. Such operating subsidiaries are organized into the following reportable segments:
•United States electrical construction and facilities services;
•United States mechanical construction and facilities services;
•United States building services; and
•United States industrial services.
We refer to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment together as our United States construction segments.
On December 1, 2025, we sold EMCOR (UK) Limited and EMCOR Group (UK) plc, which collectively represented our United Kingdom building services segment (collectively, “EMCOR UK”).
For a more complete description of our operations, refer to Item 1. Business of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Overview
The following table presents selected financial data for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except for percentages and per share data):
For the three months ended March 31, | |||||||||||

Net income | $ | 305,484 | $ | 240,677 | |||||||
| Diluted earnings per common share | $ | 6.84 | $ | 5.26 | |||||||
Revenues of $4.63 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 set a quarterly record for the Company and represent an increase of 19.7% from revenues of $3.87 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Demand for our services continues to be broad-based with strength across most of the market sectors we serve. As described in further detail below, we experienced revenue growth within all of our reportable segments. Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $234.1 million.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, operating income was $403.8 million, or 8.7% of revenues, establishing new records for the Company with respect to a first quarter. This compares to operating income of $318.8 million, or 8.2% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. As described in further detail below, the increases in both operating income and operating margin were due to the revenue growth we experienced in the quarter, which led to greater gross profit and a reduction in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues. Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $20.6 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $8.8 million.
Net income of $305.5 million, or $6.84 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compares favorably to net income of $240.7 million, or $5.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. While the majority of the increase in our net income and diluted earnings per share was a result of the increased operating income referenced above, diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 additionally benefited from a reduced weighted average share count given the impact of common stock repurchases made by us throughout 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.

Impact of Acquisitions
In order to provide a more meaningful period-over-period discussion of our operating results, we may discuss amounts generated or incurred (revenues, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, and operating income) from companies acquired. These amounts reflect the acquired companies’ operating results in the current reported period only for the time period these entities were not owned by EMCOR in the comparable prior reported period.
During the first quarter of 2026, we acquired a company for an immaterial amount.
On February 3, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Miller Electric Company (“Miller Electric”), a leading electrical contractor, for total cash consideration of $876.8 million. In addition to Miller Electric, during calendar year 2025, we acquired nine companies for upfront consideration of $182.1 million.
For further discussion regarding our acquisitions, refer to Note 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

As described in more detail below, as a result of strong demand for our services across most of the market sectors we serve, consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2026 increased to $4.63 billion compared to consolidated revenues of $3.87 billion for the first quarter of 2025. Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $234.1 million.
Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $1.45 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a $359.6 million increase compared to revenues of $1.09 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This segment’s results included $110.4 million of incremental acquisition revenues. Such increased revenues were generated from the majority of the market sectors we serve. While the largest increase was seen within the network and communications market sector, predominantly driven by greater demand for data center construction projects, this segment also experienced notable revenue growth within: (a) the hospitality and entertainment market sector, due to select project opportunities, and (b) the institutional market sector, primarily as a result of an increase in revenues from public sector projects. Revenues of this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 additionally benefited from greater levels of short-duration projects and service work.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $2.03 billion, a $453.7 million increase compared to revenues of $1.57 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This segment’s results included $123.7 million of incremental acquisition revenues. Similar to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, this segment experienced increased revenues within the majority of the market sectors in which we operate, with the most significant increase coming from the network and communications market sector due to greater demand for data center construction projects. Notable growth was additionally generated from: (a) the institutional market sector, including increased education and public sector projects, partially as a result of the incremental acquisition contribution, (b) the manufacturing and industrial market sector, primarily driven by certain food processing projects, (c) the commercial market sector, given an increase in warehousing and distribution project revenues, and (d) the water and wastewater market sector due to greater opportunities in the Southeast region of the United States. Further contributing to the revenue increase within this segment were greater levels of service work, including fire life safety inspection and maintenance. These increases were partially offset by revenue declines from the high-tech manufacturing market sector, largely as we completed certain semiconductor manufacturing construction projects in the prior year.

Table of Contents
Revenues of our United States building services segment were $772.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to revenues of $742.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Growth in this segment was generated by its mechanical services division, which experienced: (a) greater service repair and maintenance volumes, given growth in our service contract base, and (b) an increase in building automation and controls projects, as we continue to expand our service offerings in this area.
Revenues of our United States industrial services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $381.8 million compared to revenues of $359.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in this segment’s revenues was driven by its field services division as a result of progress made on a large solar project during the first quarter of 2026. Partially offsetting this growth was a decrease in revenues of this segment’s shop services division due to lower heat exchanger sales and related services.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our United Kingdom building services segment generated revenues of $105.3 million.
Cost of sales and gross profit
The following table presents our cost of sales, gross profit (revenues less cost of sales), and gross profit as a percentage of revenues (“gross profit margin”) (in thousands, except for percentages):

| Gross profit margin | 18.7 | % | 18.7 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $864.0 million, or 18.7% of revenues, compared to consolidated gross profit of $722.7 million, or 18.7% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $48.3 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $4.9 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the year-over-year increase in gross profit was driven by the revenue growth generated by each of our reportable segments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
The following table presents our selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues (“SG&A margin”) (in thousands, except for percentages):
For the three months ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 460,105 | $ | 403,962 | |||||||||||||||||||
| SG&A margin | 9.9 | % | 10.4 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $460.1 million, or 9.9% of revenues, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $404.0 million, or 10.4% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $27.7 million of incremental expenses directly related to companies acquired, including amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $3.9 million.
Excluding incremental expenses resulting from acquisitions, the increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily as a result of greater: (a) incentive compensation expense, predominantly within our United States construction segments and our United States building services segment, given higher projected annual operating results, (b) salaries and related employment expenses, due to additional headcount to support our organic revenue growth as well as annual cost of living adjustments, and (c) rent and other occupancy costs, partially as a result of the continued build-out or expansion of our fabrication facilities.
Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in: (a) professional fees, as the results for the prior year included $9.4 million of transaction related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Miller Electric, and (b) the provision for credit losses, given a reserve taken within our United States industrial services segment in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses additionally decreased by $7.2 million as a result of the sale of EMCOR UK.
The 50 basis point decrease in our SG&A margin year-over-year was primarily due to an increase in revenues without a commensurate increase in certain costs as we successfully leveraged our overhead structure during this period of growth.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $403.8 million, an increase of $85.1 million compared to operating income of $318.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 8.7% compared to an operating margin of 8.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $20.6 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $8.8 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, and as described in more detail below, the year-over-year increase in profitability was predominantly a result of the revenue growth we experienced in the quarter, which led to greater gross profit and a reduction in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues.
Operating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $174.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $38.4 million compared to operating income of $136.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This segment’s operating income for the first quarter of 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $8.5 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $3.7 million. Excluding incremental acquisition contribution, the increase in operating income of this segment resulted from greater gross profit given the growth in its revenues. Although the most significant increase in gross profit was experienced within the network and communications market sector, increased gross profit was generated within nearly all of the other market sectors in which we operate, in line with the revenue trends described above. Operating margin of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was 12.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an operating margin of 12.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 40 basis point decrease in this segment’s operating margin was primarily a result of the incremental intangible asset amortization expense referenced above. Evidenced by consistent gross profit margins year-over-year, this segment continues to execute well across its portfolio of projects.
Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment’s operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $221.6 million, an increase of $34.9 million compared to operating income of $186.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This segment’s operating income for the first quarter of 2026 included incremental acquisition contribution of $12.3 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $4.9 million. Excluding incremental acquisition contribution, the increase in operating income of this segment resulted from greater gross profit given the growth in its revenues. Greater profitability was experienced across the majority of the market sectors in which we operate, in line with the fluctuations in revenue described above and with the most significant increase in gross profit coming from network and communications. Operating margin of our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment was 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an operating margin of 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 100 basis point decrease in this segment’s operating margin was primarily a result of a change in project mix, which included: (a) a greater percentage of revenues generated from projects for which we are acting as either the construction manager or prime contractor and that carry lower than average gross profit margins, and (b) an increase in the number of guaranteed maximum price and cost plus contracts, particularly in newer geographies or on projects where design or scope is still evolving.

Operating income of our United States building services segment was $40.4 million, or 5.2% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $36.4 million, or 4.9% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This segment experienced an increase in gross profit and gross profit margin, led by its mechanical services division, which generated margin expansion across its service repair and maintenance contracts and building automation and controls projects.
Our United States industrial services segment reported operating income of $12.8 million, or 3.3% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to operating income of $6.8 million, or 1.9% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Contributing to the favorable year-over-year comparison was the impact of a $4.0 million increase in the allowance for credit losses in the prior year period, which negatively impacted this segment’s operating margin by 110 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Excluding this impact, the increase in operating income and operating margin of this segment was primarily a result of an increase in gross profit and gross profit margin within its field services division due to the revenue growth referenced above, coupled with a more favorable mix of work.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating income of our United Kingdom building services segment was $5.0 million, or 4.7% of revenues.
Our corporate administration expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $45.5 million, compared to $52.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The reduction in corporate expenses was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, as the prior year period included $9.4 million of transaction related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Miller Electric. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in certain employment expenses.

Our remaining performance obligations at March 31, 2026 were a record $15.62 billion compared to $13.25 billion at December 31, 2025 and $11.75 billion at March 31, 2025. When compared to December 31, 2025, remaining performance obligations increased by $2.37 billion due to new contract awards within our United States construction segments and our United States building services segment. We experienced growth in remaining performance obligations from the majority of the market sectors we serve, with the most significant increases within: (a) network and communications, predominantly as a result of several data center construction contracts, (b) water and wastewater, given recent project awards in the Southeast region of the United States, (c) institutional, largely as we continue to see demand for our services from education customers, including a number of colleges and universities, and (d) healthcare, resulting from certain contract awards in the Northeast region of the United States. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions from the manufacturing and industrial and hospitality and entertainment market sectors, due to progress made on certain projects during the first quarter of 2026. See Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further disclosure regarding our remaining performance obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following section discusses our principal liquidity and capital resources, as well as our primary liquidity requirements and sources and uses of cash.
We are focused on the efficient conversion of operating income into cash to provide for the Company’s material cash requirements, including working capital needs, investment in our growth strategies through business acquisitions and capital expenditures, satisfaction of contractual commitments, including principal and interest payments on any outstanding indebtedness, and shareholder return through share repurchases and dividend payments. We strive to maintain a balanced approach to capital allocation in order to achieve growth, deliver value, and minimize risk.
Management monitors financial markets and overall economic conditions for factors that may affect our liquidity and capital resources and adjusts our capital allocation strategy as necessary. Negative macroeconomic trends could have an adverse effect on future liquidity if we experience delays in the payment of outstanding receivables beyond normal payment terms, an increase in credit losses, or significant increases in the price of commodities or the materials and equipment utilized for our project and service work, beyond those experienced in recent years. In addition, during economic downturns, there have typically been fewer small discretionary projects from the private sector and our competitors have aggressively bid larger long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Our liquidity is also impacted by: (a) the type and length of construction contracts in place, as performance of long duration contracts typically requires greater amounts of working capital, (b) the level of turnaround activities within our United States industrial services segment, as such projects are billed in arrears pursuant to contractual terms that are standard within the industry, and (c) the billing terms of our maintenance contracts, including those within our United States building services segment. While we strive to negotiate favorable billing terms, which allow us to invoice in advance of costs incurred on certain of our contracts, there can be no assurance that such terms will be agreed to by our customers.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $916.4 million, which are maintained in depository accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are expected to be met through our cash and cash equivalent balances, cash generated from our operations, and, as necessary, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement provides for a $1.30 billion revolving credit facility, for which there was $1.23 billion of available capacity as of March 31, 2026.
Refer to Note 7 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our credit agreement. Based upon our current credit rating and financial position, we can also reasonably expect to be able to secure long-term debt financing if required to achieve our strategic objectives; however, no assurances can be made that such debt financing will be available on favorable terms. We believe that we have sufficient financial resources available to meet our short-term and foreseeable long-term liquidity requirements.
Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of our operating, investing, and financing cash flows (in thousands):
For the three months ended March 31, | |||||||||||

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cash balance decreased by $195.5 million from $1.11 billion at December 31, 2025 to $916.4 million at March 31, 2026. Changes in our cash position from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 are described in further detail below.
Operating Activities – Operating cash flows generally represent our net income as adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.6 million compared to $108.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in our operating cash flow was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable given our strong organic revenue growth during the first quarter of 2026. These amounts will be converted to cash as the year progresses and payments are received by our customers in the ordinary course of business.
30
Table of Contents
Investing Activities – Investing cash flows consist primarily of payments for acquisition of businesses, capital expenditures, and proceeds from the sale or disposal of property, plant, and equipment or other long-term assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $803.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in payments for acquisitions given the acquisition of Miller Electric in the prior year period.
Financing Activities – Financing cash flows consist primarily of the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt, repurchases of common stock, payments of dividends to stockholders, and the issuance of common stock through certain equity plans. Net cash used in financing activities was $124.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $123.5 million increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the impact in the first quarter of 2025 of $250.0 million of proceeds from our revolving credit facility, partially offset by a $137.7 million decrease in common stock repurchases made by us year-over-year. The timing of common stock repurchases is at management’s discretion subject to securities laws and other legal requirements and depends upon several factors, including market and business conditions, current and anticipated future liquidity, share price, and share availability, among others. For additional detail regarding our share repurchase program, refer to Note 10 - Common Stock of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
We currently pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash payments related to dividends were $17.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively. Our credit agreement places limitations on the payment of dividends on our common stock. However, we do not believe that the terms of such agreement currently materially limit our ability to pay such quarterly dividends for the foreseeable future.
Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, our short-term and long-term material cash requirements for known contractual and other obligations were as follows:
Outstanding Debt and Interest Payments – As of March 31, 2026, there were no direct borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Interest payments on any future borrowings will be determined based on prevailing interest rates at that time. Refer to Note 7 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further detail of our debt obligations, including our revolving credit facility.
Operating and Finance Leases – In the normal course of business, we lease real estate, vehicles, and equipment under various arrangements which are classified as either operating or finance leases. Future payments for such leases, excluding leases with initial terms of one year or less, were $622.4 million at March 31, 2026, with $127.5 million payable within the next 12 months.
Open Purchase Obligations – As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.41 billion of open purchase obligations, of which payments totaling $2.82 billion are expected to become due within the next 12 months. These obligations represent open purchase orders to suppliers and subcontractors related to our construction and services contracts. These purchase orders are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not expected to impact future liquidity as amounts should be recovered through customer billings.
Insurance Obligations – As described in further detail in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we have loss payment deductibles and/or self-insured retentions for certain insurance matters. As of March 31, 2026, our insurance liabilities, net of estimated recoveries, were $315.8 million. Of this net amount, $73.5 million is estimated to be payable within the next 12 months. Due to many uncertainties inherent in resolving these matters, it is not practical to estimate these payments beyond such period. To the extent that the amount required to settle claims covered by insurance continues to increase, the cost of our insurance coverage, including premiums and deductibles, is likely to increase.
Contingent Consideration Liabilities – We have incurred liabilities related to contingent consideration arrangements associated with certain acquisitions, payable in the event discrete performance objectives are achieved by the acquired businesses during designated post-acquisition periods. The aggregate amount of these liabilities can change due to additional business acquisitions, settlement of outstanding liabilities, changes in the fair value of amounts owed based on performance during such post-acquisition periods, and accretion in present value. As of March 31, 2026, the present value of expected future payments relating to these contingent consideration arrangements was $2.5 million. Of this amount, $2.3 million is estimated as being payable within the next 12 months.

Table of Contents
In addition, material cash requirements for other potential obligations, for which we cannot reasonably estimate future payments, include the following:
Legal Proceedings – We are involved in several legal proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. While litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance, we do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding legal proceedings.
Multiemployer Benefit Plans – In addition to our Company sponsored benefit plans, we participate in certain multiemployer pension and other post-retirement plans. The cost of these plans is equal to the annual required contributions determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated collective bargaining agreements. Our future contributions to the multiemployer plans are dependent upon a number of factors. Amounts of future contributions that we would be contractually obligated to make pursuant to these plans cannot be reasonably estimated. Refer to Note 14 - Retirement Plans of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for more information regarding multiemployer benefit plans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commercial Commitments
The terms of our construction contracts frequently require that we obtain from surety companies, and provide to our customers, surety bonds as a condition to the award of such contracts. These surety bonds are issued in return for premiums, which vary depending on the size and type of the bond, and secure our payment and performance obligations under such contracts. We have agreed to indemnify the surety companies for amounts, if any, paid by them in respect of surety bonds issued on our behalf. As of March 31, 2026, based on the percentage-of-completion of our projects covered by surety bonds, our aggregate estimated exposure, assuming defaults on all our then existing contractual obligations, was $4.19 billion, which represents approximately 27% of our total remaining performance obligations.
Surety bonds expire at various times ranging from final completion of a project to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. Such amounts can also fluctuate from period to period based upon the mix and level of our bonded operating activity. For example, public sector contracts require surety bonds more frequently than private sector contracts and, accordingly, our bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of our public sector work increases. Our estimated maximum exposure as it relates to the value of the surety bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced, and each commitment under a surety bond generally extinguishes concurrently with the expiration of its related contractual obligation.
Surety bonds are sometimes provided to secure obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for certain of our employees, at the request of labor unions representing such employees. In addition, surety bonds or letters of credit may be issued as collateral for certain insurance obligations. As of March 31, 2026, we satisfied $105.5 million and $72.8 million of the collateral requirements of our insurance programs by utilizing surety bonds and letters of credit, respectively. All such letters of credit were issued under our revolving credit facility, therefore reducing the available capacity of such facility.
We are not aware of any losses in connection with surety bonds that have been posted on our behalf, and we do not expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future.
From time to time, we discuss with our current and other surety bond providers the amounts of surety bonds that may be available to us based on our financial strength and the absence of any default by us on any surety bond issued on our behalf and believe those amounts are currently adequate for our needs. However, if we experience changes in our bonding relationships or if there are adverse changes in the surety industry, we may: (a) seek to satisfy certain customer requests for surety bonds by posting other forms of collateral in lieu of surety bonds, such as letters of credit, parent company guarantees, or cash, in order to convince customers to forego the requirement for surety bonds, (b) increase our activities in our businesses that rarely require surety bonds, and/or (c) refrain from bidding for certain projects that require surety bonds.
There can be no assurance that we would be able to effectuate alternatives to providing surety bonds to our customers or to obtain, on favorable terms, sufficient additional work that does not require surety bonds. Accordingly, a reduction in the availability of surety bonds could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business, we, at times, guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees.
We do not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed herein.

New Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards to determine the expected impact, if any, that the adoption of such standards will have on our financial position and/or results of operations. See Note 2 - New Accounting Pronouncements of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding new accounting standards, including the anticipated dates of adoption and the effects on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements is based on the application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described further in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We base our estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, third-party valuations, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or methods during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We have not used any derivative financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2026, including trading or speculating on changes in interest rates or commodity prices of materials used in our business.
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for any borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which bear interest at variable rates. Although the Federal Reserve Board lowered the federal funds rate in 2024 and 2025, the pace and extent of additional rate cuts are uncertain. For further information regarding our credit facility and associated borrowing rates, refer to Note 7 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
We are exposed to construction market risk and its potential related impact on accounts receivable or contract assets on uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if our customers’ ability to pay these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and maintain on-going discussions with customers regarding contract status with respect to change orders and billing terms. Therefore, we believe we take appropriate action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance that we will be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to the collectability of these assets.
In addition, we are exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices of materials, such as copper and steel, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in our construction, building services, and industrial services operations. Trade and sanction policies (including tariffs) may also affect the pricing of such supplies and materials. We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of approximately 14,600 vehicles. While we believe we can increase our contract prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that such price increases, if they were to occur, would be recoverable. Additionally, certain of our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust our prices and, as a result, increases in material costs could reduce our profitability with respect to projects in progress.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony J. Guzzi, and our Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, Jason R. Nalbandian, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1)In September 2011, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a share repurchase program allowing us to begin repurchasing shares of our outstanding common stock. Subsequently, the Board has from time to time increased the amount authorized for repurchases under such program. Since the inception of the repurchase program, through March 31, 2026, the Board has authorized us to repurchase up to $3.65 billion of our outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2026, there remained authorization for us to repurchase $592.9 million of our shares. No shares have been repurchased by us since the program was announced other than pursuant to such program. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended, recommenced, or discontinued at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Refer to Note 10 - Common Stock of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our share repurchase program.
(2)Excludes 25,223 shares surrendered to the Company by participants in our share-based compensation plans to satisfy minimum tax withholdings for common stock issued under such plans.
(3)Price paid per share excludes any applicable broker commission and excise tax due. However, as such amounts are considered direct costs associated with the repurchase of our common stock, they have been reflected as a reduction in the remaining authorization under our share repurchase program.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this quarterly report.
