CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) today announced 2024 fourth quarter and full year financial results and issued its initial 2025 guidance expectation.

For the Fourth Quarter:

Fourth quarter 2024 revenue was $3.4 billion, compared to $3.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP net income was $84.7 million, or 2.5% of revenue, and diluted earnings per share were $0.95, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $124.0 million and $1.44, respectively, as compared to $48.0 million and $0.61, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $270.9 million, compared to $226.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 8.0% of revenue, a 110 basis point improvement over the fourth quarter of 2023.

18-month backlog as of December 31, 2024, was a record $14.3 billion, a $1.9 billion increase over 2023 and a $440 million increase sequentially from the third quarter of 2024.

Fourth quarter 2024 Cash Flow from Operations was very strong at almost $472 million, enabling further net debt reduction. Net debt leverage ratio also improved well ahead of expectations to 1.8x at year-end.

For the Full Year:

Full year performance improved significantly over 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenue was $12.3 billion, compared to $12.0 billion for the prior year. GAAP net income was $199.4 million, or 1.6% of revenue, and diluted earnings per share were $2.06, compared to a net loss of $47.3 million, or a loss of $0.64 per diluted share in 2023.

Full year 2024 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both non-GAAP measures, were $348.3 million and $3.95, respectively, compared to $144.1 million and $1.81, respectively, for 2023.

Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was up 19% to $1.0 billion, compared to $846.4 million in 2023. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin rate was up 110 basis points to 8.2% compared to 7.1% last year.

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 that are detailed and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP-reported measures in the attached Supplemental Disclosures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures. 

Jose Mas, MasTec’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Third and fourth quarter financial performance showed substantial improvement in 2024 giving us great momentum into 2025. By focusing on execution, we saw nice margin expansion, exceeding our expectations, and we saw almost $2 billion in backlog growth for the company during the year, a leading indicator of the strong growth opportunities ahead of us.”

Mr. Mas continued, “I’d once again like to thank the men and women of MasTec who work hard every day improving our business. Our people are building, maintaining, and improving our nation’s energy, communications, transportation, and industrial infrastructure that we all rely on.”

Paul DiMarco, MasTec’s Executive Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We saw continued improvement in our balance sheet, driven by improvement in both earnings and our working capital, resulting in $1.1 billion of cash flow generated by operations for the year. With net debt leverage at a comfortable 1.8x adjusted EBITDA, we are positioned to shift back to a more balanced, return focused capital allocation framework.”

2025 Outlook:

Based on the information available today, the Company is providing both first quarter and full year 2025 guidance. The Company currently expects full year 2025 revenue to be $13.45 billion, a record level. 2025 full year GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share are expected in the range of $327 to $366 million, and $3.75 to $4.24, respectively. Full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $1.10 to $1.15 billion, representing 8.2 – 8.5% of revenue, and adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range from $5.35 to $5.84.

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company expects revenue of approximately $2.7 billion. First quarter 2025 GAAP net loss is expected to be $1 million, compared to a net loss of $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. First quarter 2025 GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be $0.05, compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.53 in the first quarter of 2024. First quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $160 million or 5.9% of revenue, with adjusted diluted earnings per share expected to be $0.34.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company made changes to its Communications and Power Delivery segment structure to more closely align with the segments’ end markets and to better correspond with the operational management reporting structure of both segments. These changes included moving a component with utility operations previously reported in the Communications segment to the Power Delivery segment.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, February 28, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call-in number for the conference call is (856) 344-9221 or (888) 394-8218 with a pass code of 1616296. Additionally, the call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed and replayed through the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.mastec.com. The webcast replay will be available for at least 30 days.

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, or underlying, 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, net income margin, 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.

Foreign entrepreneurs find business opportunities and a home in Yiwu

Published

on

By

BEIJING, July 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily:

Yiwu, a city in east China’s Zhejiang province, is neither a coastal hub nor a border town. Yet it has built a trade network that reaches across the globe. Today, the city is home to more than 10,000 foreign-invested businesses and around 38,000 foreign merchants who live and work there.

People’s Daily reporters recently visited Yiwu to meet foreign entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses and settled down in the city. They shared stories of growing alongside Yiwu and becoming part of its remarkable transformation.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Yiwu,” said Senegalese businessman Sourakhata Tirera, a sentiment he often expresses. He first came to Yiwu in 2003 to source hardware products and was immediately impressed by the Yiwu International Trade Market. He noted, “If you can’t find something here, it’s probably because you haven’t searched carefully enough.”

In 2007, Tirera opened a foreign trade agency in Yiwu. In 2012, leveraging Yiwu’s comprehensive foreign trade pilot reform project, he established a wholly foreign-owned trading company. Today, his company ships 200 to 300 containers every month, dealing in more than 1,000 product categories and providing one-stop sourcing services for clients across Africa.

“Everyone is fascinated by Yiwu because it’s a place full of opportunities. Things that once seemed impossible can become reality here,” Tirera told People’s Daily after he finished receiving a trade delegation from Gabon.

Yemeni businessman Maged Mohammed Ali Al-Huraibi came to Yiwu alone in 2008 to pursue his entrepreneurial dream and founded a cosmetics trading company. In 2024, Yiwu launched a one-stop entrepreneurship service for foreign talent, offering factory leasing, policy consultation, and talent recruitment. Seizing the opportunity, Al-Huraibi invested in a cosmetics factory early that year, successfully transitioning from trader to manufacturer.

“Yiwu made my entrepreneurial dream come true. Now I want to bring cosmetics made in Yiwu to even more countries and regions around the world,” Al-Huraibi said.

Yiwu’s success is not simply about gathering products. More importantly, it comes from the city’s ability to create what the market needs — pioneering new approaches where none exist and forging new paths through continuous exploration.

Nepalese businessman Khadka Raj Kumar first came to Yiwu in 2002. In 2011, Yiwu pioneered a dual-track system for representative offices and foreign-invested business entities, addressing challenges related to residency, employment and business operations for foreign entrepreneurs. The following year, Kumar established his own trading company in Yiwu and later bought a home there.

In 2013, Yiwu established China’s first people’s mediation committee dedicated to foreign-related disputes, inviting foreign businesspeople to serve as mediation processes. Kumar has served in this role since 2017 and has participated in resolving more than 150 foreign-related disputes.

“In Yiwu, we’re not outsiders — we’re part of the local community,” he said.

As Yiwu’s sixth-generation marketplace, the Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center marks the city’s transition from traditional trade to a digital trade ecosystem.

Pakistani businessman Sheikh Jamil, who has operated in Yiwu for 21 years, has witnessed this transformation firsthand. According to him, more and more business is now conducted online. With the help of AI, he can quickly generate product solutions tailored to different market demands. “I can do business with the whole world without leaving my office,” he said.

Yemeni businessman Hasan Mohammed entered Yiwu’s cosmetics business as a distributor a decade ago. In 2018, he registered his own cosmetics brand in Saudi Arabia. With its products registered in Saudi Arabia, manufactured in China and sold worldwide, his business model delivers both high-quality products and a strong competitive edge.

“Yiwu is more like an ecosystem where ideas can quickly become reality. It offers not only opportunities, but also the potential for continuous growth,” said Mohammed.

For Brazilian businesswoman Ana Garcia, Yiwu’s transformation from “Made in Yiwu” to “Created in Yiwu” has been fueled by broad support in branding, digital innovation and global expansion. She founded a business consultancy that helps overseas clients identify market opportunities and sourcing needs, connect with qualified suppliers, and manage every step of the supply chain — from product selection and quality inspection to logistics and customs clearance.

Yiwu belongs not only to China, but also to the world. Together with entrepreneurs from around the globe, the city will continue turning the impossible into the possible, further burnishing its reputation as the “world’s supermarket” and ensuring that products created in Yiwu benefit people in more countries.

New Datingsmatch Survey: 1 in 5 Users Say a Wink Led to a Conversation

Published

on

By

New findings from a Datingsmatch.com user survey show that the smallest gestures are doing more of the communication work than most people realize.

GIBRALTAR, July 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — People tend to think about opening messages as the moment a conversation actually starts online. The carefully worded introduction, the line someone spent time writing and then rewrote. What the data from a recent Datingsmatch survey points to is something different: for a meaningful share of users, none of that is where things began. It began with a wink.

According to the survey, 1 in 5 users of Datingsmatch reported that a wink was what got a conversation going. One-fifth of respondents, spread across different age groups and usage habits, identified that a single small gesture as the moment something actually started between two people.

What the Datingsmatch Survey Found

The survey was conducted among 5,000 users of the Datingsmatch online communication platform in June 2026, with participants asked to voluntarily share their experiences. The aim was to get a clearer picture of how conversations tend to begin, what it is that people hesitate about, and what eventually prompts someone to go ahead and reach out.

The wink finding was among the more consistent findings from the responses. Among users who described a conversation they felt good about, a notable portion were able to trace it back to a wink being sent first, whether they had sent it or received it. The reverse situation, where someone sent a cold message with no prior signal of any kind, was something respondents described as harder on both sides of the exchange.

That tracks with what broader research also points to. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that 55% of online daters felt insecure about the number of messages they received, and 36% felt overwhelmed by incoming contact. What that suggests is not that people don’t want to connect — it’s that the way contact gets initiated matters a great deal for how it lands.

Why Small Signals Carry More Weight Than They Seem

The Datingsmatch survey also looked at what stops people from reaching out when they want to. Uncertainty came up repeatedly. Not knowing whether someone is open to hearing from you. Not wanting to guess wrong and feel like you’ve overstepped.

What respondents described is not a lack of interest in connecting. It’s the absence of a clear enough signal that the other person is open to it. A Datingsmatch wink feature provides exactly that. It’s visible, unambiguous, and low-commitment enough that neither person has to feel exposed by it. For those still finding their footing on the platform, the beginner’s guide to the Datingsmatch platform walks through how these features work and how to use them effectively.

This connects to a 2024 study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking that examined online rejection: ghosting was the most common form of rejection in digital communication, even after substantial prior exchanges. The fear that a message will simply be ignored — without any acknowledgment — is a real barrier. A lower-stakes signal reduces that barrier because the cost of no response feels smaller.

Datingsmatch notes, based on what survey participants shared, that this kind of low-friction signal seems to work differently than most people expect. It doesn’t just start conversations. It seems to reduce the gap that many users described feeling between “I want to reach out” and “I actually did.”

How People Actually Use the Wink Feature on Datingsmatch

Survey responses offered a more specific picture of the behavior. Winks were not being used randomly or as a form of mass outreach. Respondents described using them deliberately, on users they had spent time looking at, toward people they were genuinely interested in but not yet sure about approaching with a message.

Some users described sending a wink as a way of checking whether there was any openness to further contact, without having to commit to a full message exchange in order to find out. Others who had been on the receiving end of a wink said it was something they found easier to respond to, in part because it did not feel like it was asking too much of them too soon. There were also respondents who noted that when a wink had gone back and forth between two people, the first actual message felt less like an approach out of nowhere and more like a natural continuation of something that had already started.

Datingsmatch customer service regularly hears from users that knowing how to start a conversation is one of the things people think about most when they first join the platform. The survey data puts some numbers to what those conversations have long suggested.

What This Means for How the Platform Thinks About Connection

Datingsmatch highlights that findings like these shape how the platform continues to think about the role of small, low-pressure interactions in the overall experience. A conversation that begins with a wink is not a lesser conversation. Survey respondents who traced their most valued exchanges back to a wink described those conversations in consistently positive terms.

The platform sees value in giving users multiple ways to signal interest at different levels of commitment. A message is a commitment. A wink is an invitation. Both have a place, and the data suggests that for a meaningful portion of users, the invitation comes first and matters more than it might look like from the outside.
