Jose R. Mas, MasTec's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results significantly exceeded our expectations, primarily due to strength in our Oil & Gas segment.  We continue to have clear visibility for significant new project opportunities in the Oil & Gas segment for 2017 and beyond, and we expect to end 2016 with record Oil & Gas segment backlog."

George Pita, MasTec Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "We are pleased that the combination of significantly improved year to date 2016 financial performance and improved working capital management has led to significant improvement in our leverage ratios. We enter the fourth quarter with a strong balance sheet and capital structure, excellent working capital metrics and ample liquidity and are well positioned to take advantage of the significant growth opportunities in the various markets we serve".    

Based on information available today, the Company is raising full year 2016 guidance and providing initial fourth quarter 2016 guidance. The Company currently estimates 2016 annual revenue to approximate $5.1 billion. 2016 annual GAAP net income is expected to approximate $118 million, with adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $455 million.  2016 annual GAAP diluted earnings per share is estimated to approximate $1.44, with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $1.73.

Additionally, for the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenue to approximate $1.3 billion.  Fourth quarter 2016 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $40 million, with adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, estimated to approximate $132 million.  Fourth quarter 2016 GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to approximate $0.48, with adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, estimated at approximately $0.54.
