CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced second quarter 2024 financial results and updated its full year 2024 guidance expectations.

Second quarter 2024 revenue was up 3% to $2.96 billion, a second quarter record, compared to $2.87 billion for the second quarter of 2023. GAAP net income was up 161% to $43.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $16.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023.

Second quarter 2024 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $85.6 million and $0.96, respectively, as compared to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $70.7 million and $0.89, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $267.8 million, compared to $255.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.

18-month backlog as of June 30, 2024, was $13.3 billion, up $501 million sequentially from the first quarter of 2024. Backlog growth was driven by a multi-year transmission and substation project and strong bookings in our Clean Energy & Infrastructure segment in the second quarter.

Jose Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented “We are pleased with our solid second quarter performance, and expect to build on this momentum during the balance of 2024 and in 2025. Our record backlog in multiple segments illustrates the confidence our customers have in MasTec to partner on their strategic capital programs. I’d like to highlight that during the second quarter, MasTec was awarded an approximately 700-mile high voltage transmission project that is expected to start in early 2025. We are experiencing significant demand for our services and look forward to continue delivering best in class execution for our customers in a safe, timely and cost-effective manner through the hard work and dedication of the men and women of MasTec.”

Paul DiMarco, MasTec’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We exceeded our second quarter cash flow expectations, generating $264 million of cash flow from operations and driving net debt leverage below 2.5x. Our end markets provide us with exposure to a number of macrotrends that offer significant organic growth opportunities, and our improving capital structure will afford us more flexibility to complement these opportunities.”

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing third quarter and updating full year 2024 guidance. The Company currently expects full year 2024 revenue of approximately $12.4 billion. Full year 2024 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $131 million, representing 1.1% of revenue, with GAAP diluted earnings per share expected to be $1.25. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $975 million, representing 7.9% of revenue, with adjusted diluted earnings per share expected to be $3.03.

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects revenue of approximately $3.45 billion. Third quarter 2024 GAAP net income is expected to approximate $72 million, representing 2.1% of revenue, with GAAP diluted earnings per share expected to be $0.78. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $295 million, representing 8.6% of revenue, with adjusted diluted earnings per share expected to be $1.24.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and net debt, which are all non-GAAP measures, exclude certain items which are detailed and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP-reported measures in the attached Supplemental Disclosures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, August 2, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call-in number for the conference call is (856) 344-9221 or (888) 204-4368 with a pass code of 3980141. Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed for 60 days through the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.mastec.com.

Estimated 18-month backlog

$               13,442

Backlog is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not, however, be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the next 18 months from future work on uncompleted construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers.

MasTec uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as well as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Net Debt, to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of its core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. MasTec believes that these adjusted measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in its underlying business.  MasTec believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand its financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income or diluted earnings per share or total debt, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. MasTec believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of its business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review MasTec’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

From Remote Racing to Embodied AI: Fibocom and Intedigo Bring 5G Bidirectional Data Transmission into Real-World Applications

Published

1 hour ago

July 18, 2026

By

SHANGHAI, July 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From July 17 to 20, Fibocom and Intedigo will jointly present a cross-regional, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) teleoperation demonstration at Booth H3-C408 during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026. Visitors will be able to enter a remote driving cockpit and control a real race car located at HURA PARK in Jiading, Shanghai, steering, accelerating, and braking in real time while experiencing how 5G connectivity enables remote operation.

More than an immersive driving experience, the demonstration provides a live validation of 5G bidirectional data transmission for embodied AI teleoperation. The vehicle continuously sends live track video, vehicle status, and operating data to the remote cockpit, while control commands are transmitted back to the vehicle, creating a closed-loop teleoperation system. Stable, low-latency, and highly reliable connectivity is essential for high-dynamic maneuvers such as high-speed cornering, precision braking, and continuous lane changes.

Developed by Intedigo, the remote driving system connects a real race car with an immersive remote driving cockpit. It supports 1080p@60Hz video transmission, glass-to-glass (G2G) video latency of less than 80 ms, and control latency of less than 10 ms. The demanding racing environment magnifies differences in video continuity and control responsiveness, making communications performance directly perceptible, measurable, and verifiable.

At the joint demonstration, Fibocom’s FM160 5G module provides cellular connectivity for the system. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ X62 5G Modem-RF System, the FM160 supports SA and NSA network architectures as well as 3GPP Release 16. On the downlink, it supports NR Carrier Aggregation (NR CA) with bandwidth of up to 120 MHz, delivering peak speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps in NSA mode and 2.5 Gbps in SA mode. On the uplink, it supports UL MIMO and delivers peak speeds of up to 900 Mbps in SA mode. These capabilities support the continuous transmission of HD video and vehicle status data, along with reliable delivery of control commands.

As embodied AI moves into factories, data centers, logistics operations, and industrial parks, robots are becoming increasingly capable of performing tasks autonomously. Yet complex environments, unexpected events, and edge cases still require Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) remote intervention to help ensure safe and reliable operation.

Daniel Liu, CEO of Intedigo, said:

“5G represents the pinnacle of human communications and the starting point of machine communications. In the past, communications connected people to people; in the future, they will connect people to robots and robots to robots. Remote racing is simply the easiest entry point for people to understand this concept. What we are truly validating is a communications system capable of supporting remote collaboration for embodied AI. HURA makes low-latency remote driving a tangible experience, while RoBOX extends this capability to robots and a broader range of intelligent terminals. Together with Fibocom, we hope to enable more machines to receive remote assistance whenever needed while remaining continuously connected and operating reliably.”

Simon Tao, VP of Wireless Solutions Business Group and General Manager of MBB BU at Fibocom, said:

“As embodied AI enters real-world industrial environments, reliable connectivity will become the foundation for telemetry feedback, remote control and operational management. Fibocom’s 5G solutions, represented by FM160, provide the cellular connectivity required for continuous on-site data transmission and reliable control command delivery. Fibocom will continue collaborating with ecosystem partners such as Intedigo to bring cellular connectivity to more robots, autonomous machines and mobile intelligent terminals, enabling embodied AI systems to stay continuously connected and respond reliably in real-world applications.”

From remote race cars to robots, unmanned equipment, and mobile intelligent terminals, 5G is evolving from connecting people to connecting machines. This joint demonstration makes the capabilities of 5G bidirectional data transmission directly perceptible, experiential, and verifiable, helping pave the way for embodied AI to scale across real-world applications.
