Operating Margin: 8.2%, in line with the same quarter last year
Free Cash Flow Margin: 2.1%, down from 3.3% in the same quarter last year
Market Capitalization: $21.14 billion
EMCOR's first quarter results were shaped by strong performance from its Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments, supported by the integration of Miller Electric and continued demand from data center, healthcare, and water infrastructure projects. CEO Tony Guzzi pointed to the company's proactive move into new geographies and the ability to execute complex projects, stating, 'We continue to have excellent execution in our Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments with 12.5% and 11.9% operating margins, respectively.'
Looking ahead, EMCOR's guidance reflects expectations for sustained operating margins, with the leadership team highlighting confidence in the company's ability to manage through tariff uncertainty and macroeconomic risks. Guzzi emphasized that the guidance range incorporates potential impacts from tariffs, noting, 'We will manage through the tariff uncertainty similar to how we manage the supply chain and cost disruptions around COVID.' The company anticipates continued growth in its key market sectors and maintains a disciplined approach to cost management and capital allocation.
Management attributed the quarter's performance to robust execution in its construction businesses, expanded project scope driven by acquisitions, and ongoing strength in several end-markets. Forward-looking commentary focused on navigating external headwinds while leveraging a record project backlog to support growth.
Construction Segment Momentum: The Electrical and Mechanical Construction divisions led results, with significant activity in data centers, healthcare, and water/wastewater sectors. The integration of Miller Electric contributed to both revenue growth and backlog expansion.
Project Backlog Expansion: Remaining performance obligations (RPOs) rose to $11.8 billion, a 28% year-over-year increase, fueled by organic growth and the Miller acquisition. Notably, data center-related RPOs grew by 112% year-over-year.
Building Services Shift: The U.S. Building Services segment saw mixed results, with mechanical services offsetting declines in site-based services. Management intends to continue prioritizing mechanical services, forecasting a shift in revenue mix to 80% mechanical services by next year.
Industrial Services Headwinds: The Industrial Services segment faced challenges from a slower turnaround season due to extreme weather and increased credit loss allowances. Management expects performance to improve as the year progresses.
Margin Drivers: Management credited improved margins to enhanced project execution, prefabrication, virtual design and construction (VDC) capabilities, and disciplined labor management. Segment operating margins in construction reached the higher end of historical performance.
Looking forward, management expects continued growth in construction demand, supported by a diversified backlog and strategic focus on high-growth sectors, while remaining vigilant regarding external risks such as tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Data Center and Healthcare Expansion: Ongoing demand for complex data center and healthcare projects is expected to sustain revenue growth, with management noting that data center activity remains strong due to increased geographic reach and larger project scopes.
Tariff and Cost Management: The company's guidance incorporates potential cost impacts from tariffs, with plans to mitigate risks through contract negotiation and price adjustments. Management believes that normalization of trade barriers may further benefit domestic manufacturing activity.
Project Mix and Margin Focus: The ability to maintain or improve operating margins will depend on the mix of project types, effective cost control, and continued execution of large-scale, high-margin projects. Leadership emphasized discipline in overhead and job cost management as critical to delivering on guidance.
Brent Thielman (D.A. Davidson): Asked if maintaining guidance range reflected operational risks from tariffs or broader macro uncertainty. CEO Tony Guzzi clarified that the decision was driven by early-year uncertainty and not specific to growth concerns, emphasizing cautious guidance.
Adam Thalhimer (Thompson Davis & Company): Queried about the strategic direction for the Building Services segment. Guzzi explained the focus would remain on growing mechanical services, aiming for an 80-20 split with site-based services.
Brian Brophy (Stifel): Inquired about the sustainability of data center demand amid industry headlines. Guzzi stated that demand is increasing, with more locations and larger projects, providing good near-term visibility.
Alex Dwyer (KeyBanc Capital Markets): Asked about the growth in project backlog (RPOs) compared to revenue guidance. CFO Jason Nalbandian attributed the higher backlog to longer-duration projects and the addition of Miller Electric's portfolio.
Adam Bubes (Goldman Sachs): Sought clarification on margin drivers in construction and the impact of project mix. Guzzi noted that improved execution and scale, especially in large and mid-sized projects, are supporting margins at the high end of historical ranges.
In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the pace of backlog conversion in data center and healthcare projects, (2) the company's ability to offset cost pressures from tariffs and labor through contract management and pricing, and (3) whether the Building Services and Industrial Services segments demonstrate the expected rebound in performance. Execution against these milestones will provide insight into EMCOR's ability to maintain growth and margin stability.

The Program includes the establishment of a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of the exploration accommodation camp facilities by 373 beds and site access road improvements. The Program will commence in the coming weeks and conclude with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. This program builds on NexGen's disciplined, strategic approach to implementing infrastructure enhancements required to support the Company's exploration programs at PCE and that forecast across NexGen's dominant land package in northwestern Saskatchewan into the future. The drill results of high-grade basement hosted mineralization discovered at PCE 3.5km east from the Arrow deposit indicate another significant scale zone 'Arrow style' of mineralization is materializing and warrant these infrastructure enhancements incorporating best practice safety and environmental principles. Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach to economic capacity building, the Program will prioritize Local Priority Area participation, generating new employment and contracting opportunities for Indigenous and community members, reflecting NexGen's industry leading and genuine approach to local communities. Leigh Curyer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'The 2025 Site Program marks an exciting strategic milestone for our current and future activities, with key infrastructure improvements that will optimize safety, environmental protection, and efficiency for our people and our programs. These infrastructure enhancements create the conditions for a high-performing operational platform capable of fully evaluating the significant resource potential across our Rook I Property. This Program is a direct reflection of NexGen's proactive approach to responsible resource development, elite planning and demonstrates our continued commitment to building lasting value while creating meaningful opportunities for local Indigenous and community members.' The Honourable Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe, commented: " I congratulate and thank NexGen for their major investment in Saskatchewan to date. The Rook I Project is one of the most significant projects across the country and we are keen to see it prioritized by the Government of Canada accordingly. Our government is proud to approve these infrastructure activities which are well within our jurisdiction and that are scheduled to commence imminently. NexGen is an example of strategically delivering a generational opportunity for Saskatchewan to become the world's leader in the mining of uranium, and I look forward to working with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney to expedite the final Federal approval of this generational opportunity for Saskatchewan and Canada.' 2025 Site Program Overview Temporary Exploration Airstrip Expansion of Temporary Exploration Camp Facilities Site Access Improvements NexGen has the most significant land position in Saskatchewan's southwest Athabasca Basin, where it holds over 190,000 hectares. From an exploration perspective, the Company is currently focused on the continued material growth of mineralization at PCE - located just 3.5 km east of the world-class Arrow Deposit.
