First Quarter 2026 Results of Operations

For the first quarter of 2026, revenues totaled a quarterly record of $4.63 billion, an increase of 19.7%, compared to $3.87 billion for the first quarter of 2025. On an organic basis, when adjusting for incremental acquisition contribution and the impact of the sale of the Company's United Kingdom operations, first quarter revenues increased by 16.8%.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $305.5 million, or $6.84 per diluted share, compared to net income of $240.7 million, or $5.26 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Net income for the first quarter of 2025 included $9.4 million, or $6.9 million after taxes, of transaction related costs associated with the acquisition of Miller Electric Company. Excluding these transaction costs, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $247.6 million, or $5.41 per diluted share.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was $403.8 million, or 8.7% of revenues, compared to operating income of $318.8 million, or 8.2% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2025. Excluding the previously referenced transaction costs, non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $328.1 million, or 8.5% of revenues. Operating income included depreciation and amortization expense (inclusive of amortization of identifiable intangible assets) of $52.6 million and $41.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Refer to the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue growth, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the comparable GAAP measures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $460.1 million, or 9.9% of revenues, compared to $404.0 million, or 10.4% of revenues, for the first quarter of 2025.

The Company's income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 25.5%, compared to 25.8% for the first quarter of 2025.

Remaining performance obligations (“RPOs”) as of March 31, 2026 were a record $15.62 billion, compared to $13.25 billion as of December 31, 2025 and $11.75 billion as of March 31, 2025. When compared to December 31, 2025, the Company experienced increased RPOs across the majority of the sectors in which it operates, with the most significant growth coming from Network and Communications, Water and Wastewater, Institutional, and Healthcare.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “We started the year well, with record quarterly revenues and strong operating performance as we experienced sustained momentum across several key market sectors and geographies. These results reflect our strategic positioning and operational excellence across our construction and services platforms while demonstrating our customers' confidence in EMCOR as a partner of choice for complex and mission-critical projects. Our Remaining Performance Obligations are again at record levels and we are pleased with the quality and diversity of our bookings during the quarter.
