Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
45 rewritten, 33 added, 16 removed, 243 unchanged
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for [added: any] borrowings under our credit [removed: facilities,] [added: facility,] which bear interest at variable rates.
Increases in benchmark interest rates impact our interest expense and cost of capital, which may adversely impact our ability to make payments on [added: future] outstanding debt, raise [removed: additional] funds through the issuance of debt, fund capital expenditures or other liquidity needs.
For further information on our [removed: outstanding debt] [added: credit facility] and [added: associated] borrowing rates, refer to Note 9 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8.

Continued [removed: uncertain conditions] [added: volatility] within these markets, including the impact of geopolitical [removed: instability and the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: instability,] could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Significant reductions in spending aimed at reducing federal, state, or local budget deficits, the absence of a bipartisan agreement on the federal government's budget or raising the debt [removed: ceiling,] [added: ceiling (and any disruption caused by a federal government shutdown as a result thereof),] renewed focus on budget deficits following [removed: recent] increases in government spending in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, personnel reductions, the closure of government facilities and offices, or other changes in budget priorities could result in the deferral, delay, disruption, or cancellation of projects or contracts that we might otherwise have sought to perform.
We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to gasoline prices for our fleet of approximately [removed: 13,200] [added: 13,800] vehicles.
For example, [added: in recent years,] we experienced supply chain delays, including long lead times for certain materials and equipment, as well as an escalation in material and fuel prices, to varying [removed: degrees throughout 2021 and 2022.][added: degrees.]
These [removed: disruptions, which are anticipated to persist throughout 2023,] [added: disruptions] resulted in declines in gross profit and gross profit margin for certain of our operations.
Fluctuations in [added: the price of] energy [removed: prices as well as in] [added: and] commodity [removed: prices of] materials, whether resulting from fluctuations in market supply or demand, [removed: or] geopolitical conditions, including [removed: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting] supply chain disruptions and sanctions on Russian [removed: exports,] [added: exports as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and recent shipping lane disruptions following maritime attacks in the Gulf of Aden,] an increase in trade protection measures such as tariffs, or the disruption, modification, or cancellation of multilateral trade agreements, may adversely affect our customers and as a result cause them to curtail the use of our services.
Certain of our competitors have lower overhead cost structures and, therefore, are able to provide their services at lower rates than we are [removed: currently able to provide.]
Such requirements have become more frequent in recent years and we expect them to be increasingly prevalent, [removed: and more strictly enforced in the near future,] especially under the current administration in Washington, D.C. If we subsequently fail to meet such guarantees, or comply with such provisions, we may be held responsible for costs resulting from such failures, including payment of penalties or liquidated or other damages.
*Many of our contracts, especially our building and industrial services contracts, may be canceled or delayed on short notice, and we may be unsuccessful in replacing such contracts if they are canceled or as they are completed or expire.* [removed: We could experience a decrease] [added: For example,] in [removed: revenues, net income,] [added: 2023, our United States building services segment] and [removed: liquidity if any of the following occur:][added: our United Kingdom building services segment were unsuccessful in retaining certain contracts upon rebid.]
*Fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates impact our financial results.* We have operations in the United Kingdom, which in [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] accounted for approximately [removed: 4%] [added: 3%] of our revenues.
[added: However, these liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to many relevant] factors, the effects of which are often unknown, including the severity of an injury or damage, the determination of liability in proportion to other parties, the timeliness of reported claims, the effectiveness of our risk management and safety programs, [added: denial of coverage by our insurance carriers,] and the terms and conditions of our insurance [removed: policies.][added: policies and/or customer contracts.]
External market conditions, including catastrophic losses resulting from an increase in severe weather [removed: events and the prolonged pandemic,] [added: events,] among other factors, have resulted in an insurance market that is characterized by higher premiums, diminished capacity, and more conservative underwriting.
An uninsured claim, either in part or in whole, as well as any claim covered by insurance but subject to a policy limit, high [removed: deductible and/or retention,] [added: deductible/retention, or the denial of coverage by an insurance carrier,] could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as rising interest rates, inflation and [removed: the ongoing impacts of] [added: potential disruptions resulting from public health emergencies, such as those experienced in connection with] the COVID-19 pandemic, may hinder our ability to pursue and complete acquisitions.
The risk of contracts included in our remaining performance obligations being delayed or canceled generally increases during economic [removed: slowdowns] [added: slowdowns, periods of restrictive credit markets,] or in response to significant fluctuations in commodity prices.
*We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology systems; our business and results of operations are subject to adverse impacts due to disruption, failure, and cybersecurity breaches of these systems.* We and our customers and third-party providers rely on information technology systems, hardware, and [removed: software] [added: software, including third party “cloud based” systems,] to run critical accounting, project management, and financial information systems.
We rely upon security measures, [removed: products,] [added: systems redundancy,] and [added: third-party products and] services to attempt to secure our information technology systems and the confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information they contain.
However, our information technology systems and data, and that of our customers and third-party providers, are subject to [removed: cyber-attacks,] [added: cybersecurity incidents, such as] hacking, [removed: nation state threats,] [added: computer viruses or other malicious or destructive software, ransomware, denial of service attacks, malicious social engineering] and other intrusions, encryption, erasure, failure, and [removed: damage, which could result in operational disruption] [added: damage by individuals (which may include our] and [removed: information misappropriation, such as theft of intellectual property or inappropriate disclosure of customer data] [added: our third party providers’ employees), groups] or [removed: confidential] [added: nation states] or [removed: personal information.][added: state-sponsored threats.]
While we maintain insurance coverage for these types of [added: cybersecurity] incidents, such policies may not completely provide coverage for, or completely offset, the costs associated with such [removed: incidents.][added: incidents, including losses from reputational harm or the costs to improve security against future similar threats.]
[removed: If any of these events were to occur,] [added: As such threats increase in frequency and sophistication,] we could be required to expend additional capital and other resources, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants.
Additionally, as many of our employees use our information technology systems to collaborate with colleagues in different geographic locations and [removed: periodically] access our systems [added: and those of our customers] remotely, we [added: and our customers] may be subject to heightened security risks, including the risks of cyber-attacks.
Any failure to comply with these laws and [removed: regulations] [added: regulations, or an exposure or exfiltration of information covered by such laws and regulations, including, without limitation, in connection with a cybersecurity incident,] could result in significant penalties and legal liability, and increased costs in this area could have a negative impact on our [added: reputation and our] financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
These include the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as the various regulations, standards, and guidance put forth by the SEC and other [added: federal and state] governmental agencies to implement and enforce those laws.
New laws, rules, and regulations, or changes to existing laws or their interpretations, could [removed: create added legal and compliance costs and uncertainty for us.]
Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and reporting standards may increase our general and administrative expenses, divert management time and attention, or limit our operational [added: flexibility, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.]
*Opportunities within the government sector could lead to increased governmental rules and regulations applicable to us.* [removed: As] [added: When we perform work as] a [added: federal] government [removed: contractor,] [added: contractor/subcontractor, or if] we [added: perform work on a project that has received federal government funding, we] are subject to a number of procurement rules and other regulations, any deemed violation of which could lead to fines or penalties or a loss of business.
We are dependent upon a workforce of approximately [removed: 35,500] [added: 38,300] employees, including our project managers and field supervisors who are responsible for managing our projects, and there can be no assurance that any individual will continue in his or her capacity for any particular period of time.
The availability and costs to adequately train and maintain a skilled labor force could be impacted by factors we cannot control, including changes in the unemployment rate, prevailing wage rates, benefit costs, [removed: the ongoing impacts of] [added: potential labor force disruptions resulting from public health emergencies, such as those experienced in connection with] the COVID-19 pandemic, and competition for labor from our competitors in the markets we serve.
As of December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] approximately 60% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Further, climate change poses direct physical risks to infrastructure across the [removed: industry] [added: market] sectors we serve, both as a result of chronic environmental changes, such as rising sea levels and temperatures, as well as acute events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires.
[removed: Additional legislation] [added: Such laws] or [removed: regulation] [added: regulations enacted] by the federal government or state and local governments or agencies, and/or any international agreements to which the United States may become a party that control or limit GHG emissions or otherwise seek to address climate change, could result in increased compliance costs for us and our clients or have other impacts on our clients, including those who are involved in the exploration, production, or refining of fossil fuels, or who emit greenhouse gases through the combustion of fossil fuels or through the mining, manufacture, utilization, or production of materials or goods.
In addition, in March 2022, the SEC proposed new rules that would require significant climate-related disclosures by public companies, including evaluation and disclosure of material climate-related risks and opportunities, GHG emissions inventory, climate-related targets and goals, and financial impacts of physical and transition [removed: risks (the “SEC Climate Rules”).][added: risks.]
[removed: If the SEC Climate Rules take effect, in whole or in part,] [added: Compliance with these new rules may increase] our legal, accounting, and other compliance expenses [removed: may increase significantly,] and [removed: compliance efforts] may divert management time and attention.
*We may be unable to achieve our current or future climate commitments and targets, or we may incur substantial costs in meeting such targets.* To help mitigate the impacts of GHG emissions on climate change, EMCOR has established initial carbon-based fuel consumption and GHG emission reduction targets and committed to [removed: setting] [added: investigating the establishment of] science-based GHG emissions targets.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (a) our ability to execute our operational strategies and achieve our goals within the currently projected costs and the expected timeframes; (b) the availability and cost of alternative fuels, electrical charging infrastructure, off-site renewable energy, and other materials and components; (c) unforeseen design, operational, and technological difficulties; (d) the outcome of research efforts and future technology developments, including alternate or more fuel efficient vehicles for our fleet, such as hybrid or electric vehicles, the availability of which has been impacted by the global shortage in supply of vehicles generally; (e) regulations and requirements that restrict or prohibit our ability to impose requirements on third party contractors; (f) an acquisition of or merger with another company that has not adopted similar targets and goals or whose progress towards reaching its goals is not as advanced as ours; and (g) [removed: the pace of recovery from] [added: exogenous macroeconomic or supply chain shocks, such as those experienced during] the COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in fluctuations in our fuel consumption and GHG emissions in a given period.
*Public health emergencies, epidemics, or [removed: pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: pandemics] impact our business.* The [removed: continuing impact of the] global spread of COVID-19, and the responses of governments, businesses, and individuals to combat it, [removed: have] caused significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption, which [removed: has and may continue to] adversely [removed: impact] [added: impacted] our operations and those of our customers.
Throughout 2022 and much of 2023, the Federal Reserve Board increased the federal funds rate.

Such cybersecurity incidents could result in operational disruption and information misappropriation, such as theft of intellectual property or inappropriate disclosure of customer data or confidential, sensitive, or personal information, or in reputational harm with customers.
Threats are continually evolving and threat actors may adopt new or different means of breaching our information technology systems and data, including the potential use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to engage in automated, targeted, and coordinated attacks.
As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated and difficult to detect, our ability to promptly prevent, detect and mitigate the effects of cybersecurity incidents may be impacted, potentially resulting in more material adverse effects.
For additional information on our strategy and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing the risks posed by cybersecurity threats, and the management and oversight of such efforts, refer to Part I, Item 1C.
Cybersecurity.
Errors or other defects in the design or implementation of hardware or software applications by our employees or third-party providers could also disrupt our networks, information systems or data.
System redundancy may be ineffective or inadequate, and the Company’s disaster recovery and business continuity planning may not be sufficient to address all potential cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions.
We may also utilize new information technology tools, including AI tools, in certain business functions, and such tools could be subject to malfunction, security vulnerabilities, or algorithmic flaws (including AI generation of false or biased information).
Unsettled regulations and case law regarding the ownership of intellectual property generated or used by AI could also expose us to claims of copyright or license infringement or other liability resulting from our use of such tools.

Several states in the United States have also adopted laws that require reporting of GHG emissions, or that a percentage of our fleet be comprised of electric vehicles.
In addition, compliance with legislation requiring us to increase the mix of electric vehicles within our fleet will be difficult as the electric vehicles
[Table of Contents](#i5b93746942b5441a93c12246ba215868_7)
currently available do not meet our fleet requirements.
Subsequently, other legislation, including certain state laws, have been passed that would require similar climate-related disclosure.
A renewed significant spread of COVID-19, new variants thereof, or new infectious diseases, could lead to similar impacts.
Both the outbreak and the containment and mitigation measures resulted in serious adverse impacts on the economy, and it is possible that such measures could return for future public health emergencies.
The impact to our business and operations in another public health emergency will depend in part on the severity and duration of those measures and the extent and pace of economic recovery, which are difficult to predict.
Additionally, public health emergencies may result in more of our employees accessing our systems remotely as a result of potential business or facility closures or reduced or staggered in-person attendance in response to such emergencies.
This remote access may subject us to heightened security risks, including the risks of cyber-attacks.

Throughout 2022, the Federal Reserve Board significantly increased the federal funds rate, further raised it in February 2023, and has indicated that rate increases are likely to continue through the remainder of 2023.
For example, during 2020, the escalation of geopolitical tensions between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia contributed to a significant drop in the price of crude oil, impacting customers in the energy sector and the demand for certain of our services.
On the other hand, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the resulting supply chain disruptions and sanctions
imposed on Russian oil and gas exports caused the prices of crude oil and natural gas to increase significantly for several months.
For example, for the year ended December 31, 2022, revenues and operating income of our United Kingdom building services segment were negatively impacted by $53.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, when compared to the results for the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of unfavorable exchange rate movements.
However, these liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to many relevant
On February 15, 2020, for example, we became aware of an infiltration and encryption of portions of our information technology network.
This attack temporarily disrupted our use of the impacted systems.
While no impairment was recognized during 2022 or 2021, we recorded $232.8 million of impairment charges during 2020 as a result of certain of these conditions.
flexibility, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.
Several states and geographic regions in the United States have also adopted legislation and regulations to reduce emissions of GHGs.
These measures have included limitations on travel and mandatory cessation of certain business activities, some of which have been relaxed or adjusted and others of which remain in effect.
Both the outbreak and the containment and mitigation measures resulted in serious adverse impacts on the economy, some of which are ongoing, and both the severity and duration of those impacts and the extent and pace of economic recovery continue to remain uncertain.
These include the duration and extent of the pandemic, epidemic or public health emergency; the potential for additional viruses or variants of viruses that are more virulent, contagious, or against which current vaccines are less effective; the duration and extent of containment and mitigation measures; the widespread adoption and long-term efficacy of vaccines and the availability and efficacy of other treatments; the cost and/or disruption of testing that may be required of our employees either by customer requirements or government mandates; the impact of the pandemic, epidemic or other public health emergency on economic activity, including on planning and funding for construction projects and our customers’ demand for our services; supply chain disruptions or commodity price volatility that could impact our and our vendors’ ability to source the supplies and materials needed to operate our business; our ability to effectively operate, including as a result of travel restrictions and mandatory business and facility closures; the ability of our customers to pay us for services rendered; any closures of our and our customers’ offices and facilities; and any project delays or shutdowns.
Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or stock price.
Additionally, as many of our employees continue to periodically access our systems remotely, in part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential business or facility closures or reduced or staggered in-person attendance, we may be subject to heightened security risks, including the risks of cyber-attacks.

Our services are provided to a broad range of commercial, [added: technology, manufacturing,] industrial, healthcare, utility, and institutional customers through approximately 100 operating subsidiaries.
Our reportable segments and related disclosures reflect certain reclassifications of prior year amounts from our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment to our United States building services [removed: segment, and from our United States building services] segment [removed: to our United States construction segments,] due to changes in our internal reporting structure aimed at realigning our service offerings.
[removed: Throughout 2022, our] [added: Our] business and end markets remained resilient despite the impact of uncertain global economic conditions, including supply chain, production, and other logistical issues, an inflationary cost environment, [removed: rising] [added: elevated] interest rates, [added: and] skilled labor shortages in certain [removed: regions, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.][added: regions.]
[removed: For example,] [added: Although improved from 2022,] we [removed: experienced] [added: continued to experience] pressures in our supply chain, which resulted in material and equipment lead times significantly in excess of normal levels.
Delays in critical material and equipment deliveries [removed: have] additionally resulted in us funding purchases at earlier stages of project progression, or in advance of project [removed: commencement, which has and will continue to apply pressure on working capital requirements.][added: commencement.]
Further, in an effort to mitigate inflation, the Federal Reserve Board [removed: has] increased the federal funds rate throughout [removed: 2022, raised it further in February 2023,] [added: 2022] and [removed: it is anticipated that rate increases will continue through the remainder of] [added: into] 2023.
[removed: In response to these challenges, we] [added: Our management teams] continue to [removed: strive] [added: adapt] to [added: the challenges of the current operating environment in order to] manage our business more effectively through [added: diligent contract negotiations,] enhanced labor planning and project scheduling, [removed: increased pricing to the extent contractually permitted,] and [removed: by leveraging our relationships with our suppliers and customers.][added: increased supplier engagement.]
While we believe the actions we have taken continue to be effective, as evidenced in part by [removed: the sequential improvement in] our operating performance [removed: throughout each quarter of 2022,] [added: and operating cash flow in 2023,] the impact of these disruptions continues to evolve and there can be no assurance that our actions will serve to mitigate such impacts in future periods.
Further, while we believe our remaining performance obligations are firm, and we have not experienced any material project cancellations to date, prolonged delays in the receipt of critical equipment could impact our ability to convert such remaining performance obligations to revenues in the near [removed: term,] [added: term] or result in our customers seeking to delay or terminate existing or pending agreements.
Lastly, [removed: rising] [added: the current] interest [removed: rates] [added: rate environment] may cause a decline in capital or maintenance spending of our customers or prospective [removed: customers and, therefore, the demand for our services.][added: customers, particularly as it pertains to short duration project work.]
Any of these events could [added: result in reduced demand for our services or affect our ability to collect payment, and therefore,] have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

Demand for our services continues to be strong [added: across the majority of the market sectors we serve] and, as described in further detail below, we experienced revenue growth within all of our reportable segments except for our United Kingdom building services [removed: segment, the reduction in revenues of which was entirely due to unfavorable exchange rate movements during 2022, which more than offset revenue growth that was experienced on a local currency basis.][added: segment.]
Net income of [removed: $406.1] [added: $633.0] million, or [removed: $8.10] [added: $13.31] per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] compares favorably to net income of [removed: $383.5] [added: $406.1] million, or [removed: $7.06] [added: $8.10] per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
In addition to the increase in operating income referenced above, our diluted earnings per share for [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] benefited from a reduced weighted average share count given the impact of common stock repurchases made by us throughout [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]

Companies acquired in [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] generated incremental revenues of [removed: $149.7] [added: $107.1] million in [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were [removed: $2,433.1] [added: $2,783.7] million for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] compared to revenues of [removed: $2,029.9] [added: $2,433.1] million for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
This segment’s results [added: included $88.5 million of incremental acquisition revenues] for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022 included $135.1 million of incremental revenues from acquired companies.][added: 2023.]
The continued strength in demand for our services is reflected in our results of operations for 2023, during which we experienced an increase in both revenue and operating income when compared to 2022.
As evidenced by the growth in our remaining performance obligations, which increased to $8.85 billion at December 31, 2023, from $7.46 billion at December 31, 2022, we anticipate a similar level of demand for our services in the near term, provided that the business environment does not significantly deteriorate.
While we generally strive to negotiate advanced payments or billing terms with our customers that allow us to invoice for these amounts, such purchases may apply pressure on our working capital requirements in future periods.
Although we experienced a reduction in commodity prices when compared to 2022, and current economic indicators suggest that inflation is slowing, there continues to be volatility in the price of fuel, certain materials, and other commodities used in our operations.
As contractually permitted, and in order to combat inflationary pressures, we have and will continue to seek increases in pricing to the extent we experience increases in our costs.
2023 versus 2022
| | | | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | | |
Operating income for 2023 was $875.8 million, or 7.0% of revenues, establishing new annual records for the Company with respect to both operating income and operating margin.
This compares to operating income of $564.9 million, or 5.1% of revenues, in 2022.
The $310.9 million increase in operating income, and corresponding 190 basis point improvement in operating margin, were a result of improved operating performance across all of our reportable segments other than our United Kingdom building services segment.
As described in further detail below, these improvements in profitability were predominantly a result of: (a) better project execution and productivity, (b) a more favorable mix of work, (c) the successful close-out of several projects and resolution of certain disputes within our United States construction segments, and (d) a reduction in the price of certain commodities and materials utilized in our operations.

| United States building services | | | 3,120,134 | | | | | | 25 | | % | | | | 2,754,953 | | | | | | 25 | | % |
As a result of strong demand for our services across the majority of the market sectors we serve, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased to $12.58 billion compared to revenues of $11.08 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As described in more detail below, we experienced increases in revenues from all of our reportable segments, except for our United Kingdom building services segment.
Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues of this segment increased by $262.1 million as a result of an increase in revenues within many of the market sectors in which we operate, most notably including: (a) the network and communications market sector, predominantly due to our data center projects, (b) the manufacturing and industrial market sector, from contracts with our energy sector customers, including those for renewable energy projects, (c) the healthcare market sector, as a result of greater activity throughout certain of the regions in which we operate, (d) the hospitality and entertainment market sector, given an increase in projects within the Western region of the United States, and (e) the high-tech manufacturing market sector, due to an increase in projects for various biotech, life-sciences, and pharmaceutical customers as well as certain semiconductor manufacturers.
Partially offsetting these increases were modest revenue declines from the commercial market sector and the institutional market sector as well as a reduction in short duration project volume.
In addition to increased revenues from its mechanical services division, this segment also experienced revenue growth from its commercial site-based services and government site-based services divisions, due to the award of facilities maintenance contracts with new customers as well as scope or site expansion and increased project work with existing customers.
Such increased revenues were despite the loss of certain facilities maintenance contracts not renewed pursuant to rebid.
[Table of Contents](#i5b93746942b5441a93c12246ba215868_7)
The results of operations of this segment continued to improve at a modest pace, as evidenced by the revenue growth within both this segment’s field services and shop services divisions during 2023.
In addition to steady demand for maintenance and turnaround projects, during 2023, we experienced increased levels of capital spending by our customers, in the form of greater new build heat exchanger orders and the award of certain renewable fuel projects.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements, this segment’s revenues decreased during 2023 as a result of: (a) the loss of certain facilities maintenance contracts not renewed pursuant to rebid, and (b) a reduction in project activity, notably within the network and communications market sector.
| | | | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | | |
| Gross profit | | | $ | 2,089,339 | | | | | $ | 1,603,594 | |
While the increase in gross profit can be partially attributed to the incremental revenue contribution described above, such increase, and the expansion in gross profit margin, were also the result of stronger operating performance within the majority of our reportable segments due to improved revenue mix, project execution and close-out, and/or favorable pricing.
In 2023, acquisitions contributed incremental gross profit of approximately $15.9 million, inclusive of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $3.6 million.
| | | | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | | |
Excluding incremental expenses from businesses acquired, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, and SG&A margin, was predominantly attributable to increases in incentive compensation expense across the majority of our reportable segments, due to higher operating results than in the prior year, and salaries and related employment expenses, largely as a result of additional headcount to support our organic revenue growth as well as annual cost of living adjustments.

Our performance in 2023 established new annual records for the Company with respect to operating income and operating margin.
As described in more detail below, improvements in profitability were a result of: (a) better project execution, (b) a more favorable mix of work, (c) the successful close-out of certain projects within our United States construction segments, and (d) the impact in 2022 of certain supply chain disruptions and delays, which were greater than those experienced in 2023, and which, in the prior year, led to: (i) reduced labor productivity and efficiency, (ii) the under-absorption of labor costs in instances where projects were delayed pending the receipt of materials, or (iii) material and commodity price escalations.
The $81.9 million increase in operating income and the 220 basis point improvement in operating margin of this segment were largely a result of greater gross profit and gross profit margin given: (a) a more favorable mix of work, (b) improved project execution and productivity, and (c) the successful close-out of certain construction projects during the year.
The largest increases in gross profit and gross profit margin were recognized within the network and communications market sector, the commercial market sector, and the healthcare market sector.
Although we continue to experience supply chain disruptions and delays, which are impacting project delivery in various ways, market conditions surrounding equipment availability steadily improved over the last year and our management teams continued to adapt to this environment.
Such developments led to improved job-site and labor productivity as well as more normalized project sequencing, resulting in fewer project write-downs when compared to the prior year.
Partially offsetting the year-over-year improvements in gross profit and gross profit margin were increased selling, general and administrative expenses and SG&A margin, largely as a result of greater incentive compensation expense recognized by several operating subsidiaries of this segment given improvements in profitability year-over-year.
[Table of Contents](#i5b93746942b5441a93c12246ba215868_7)
These disruptions, which are expected to persist to varying degrees in 2023, have manifested themselves through project delays or scheduling impacts and reduced labor productivity and efficiency, particularly within our United States construction segments and our United States building services segment.
During 2022, we also experienced the effects of inflation through increases in fuel, material, and other commodity prices.
While current economic indicators suggest that inflation will slow, we anticipate that our business will continue to be impacted by wage and general inflation to some extent throughout 2023.
These actions have resulted, and may continue to result, in an increase in our interest expense.
Beyond these impacts, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has created another layer of uncertainty, especially with respect to energy costs as the resulting sanctions imposed on Russian oil and gas exports caused the prices of crude oil and natural gas to increase significantly for several months.
While higher energy prices have historically led to an increase in demand for certain of our services, such as those performed by our United States industrial services segment, significant increases in the price or demand for crude oil may also result in the short-term curtailment or deferral of spending by our customers, as facility downtime to perform certain of the services we provide comes at a higher opportunity cost.
Operating income for 2022 was $564.9 million, or 5.1% of revenues, compared to operating income of $530.8 million, or 5.4% of revenues, in 2021.
This increase resulted from greater operating income contribution, largely as a result of the aforementioned increase in revenues, from each of our reportable segments, other than our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment.
The decrease in operating margin period over period was driven by a 70 basis point reduction in consolidated gross profit margin, due to reduced gross profit margins within each of our United States construction segments.
Partially offsetting the decrease in gross profit margin was a reduction in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues as we were able to leverage our overhead cost structure during this period of revenue growth.
Companies acquired in 2022 and 2021 generated incremental revenues of $149.7 million and incremental operating income of $3.9 million, inclusive of $7.3 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As described in more detail below, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased to $11.08 billion compared to revenues of $9.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During 2022, we experienced increases in revenues from all of our reportable segments, except for our United Kingdom building services segment, the reduction in revenues of which was entirely due to unfavorable exchange rate movements, which more than offset revenue growth that was experienced on a local currency basis.
Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues of this segment increased by $268.1 million primarily as a result of an increase in revenues from: (a) the commercial market sector, predominantly within the telecommunications sub-market sector, inclusive of our data center projects, and the technology sub-market sector, (b) the healthcare market sector due to large project activity, and (c) certain transmission and distribution projects, including those to support sustainable energy solutions such as solar and wind.
While there remains significant disruption and uncertainty within the broader oil and gas industry, most notably within the upstream and midstream energy sectors, we began to experience a resumption in downstream energy demand within this segment during the second half of 2021.
Such increased demand continued into 2022, resulting in revenue growth within this segment.
Specifically, more normalized turnaround project demand and an increase in maintenance and capital project activity, when compared to the prior year, has resulted in increased revenues from this segment’s field services operations.
In addition, revenues of this segment’s shop services operations have increased as a result of greater maintenance, repair, and hydro blast cleaning services and a slight increase in new build heat exchanger sales.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements, this segment’s revenues for 2022 increased as a result of growth in project activities with existing customers, primarily within the commercial market sector, including certain telecommunication projects, and the transportation market sector.
Companies acquired in 2022 and 2021 generated incremental gross profit of approximately $21.1 million in 2022.
Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the increase in gross profit for 2022 was largely a result of increased revenue volume, which despite the decrease in gross profit margin discussed below, resulted in an increase in consolidated gross profit.
Our gross profit margin was 14.5% and 15.2% for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The decrease in gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a reduction in gross profit margin within each of our United States construction segments, partially as a result of a less favorable project mix.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, certain discrete project losses within both our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment and our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment negatively impacted our consolidated gross profit margin by 40 basis points.
Refer to the operating income section below for further discussion regarding the operating performance of each of our reportable segments, including the above referenced losses.
Excluding incremental expenses from businesses acquired, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $50.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.4% and 9.8% for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The year-over-year decrease in SG&A margin was largely a result of an increase in revenues without a commensurate increase in overhead costs, as we were able to leverage our existing overhead cost structure.
| United States building services | | | 144,670 | | | | | | 5.3 | | % | | | | 122,724 | | | | | | 5.1 | | % |
Largely as a result of increases in revenues, we experienced greater operating income contribution from each of our reportable segments other than our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment.
Companies acquired in 2022 and 2021 generated incremental operating income of $3.9 million, inclusive of $7.3 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The decrease in operating margin year-over-year was driven by a reduction in gross profit margin within our United States construction segments, due to a change in project mix as well as the impact of certain discrete project losses, described in further detail below.
These declines in gross profit margin were partially offset by increased gross profit margins from the remainder of our reportable segments as well as a reduction in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to revenues across each of our reportable segments.
This segment’s results for the year ended December 31, 2022 included incremental operating income from acquired companies of $6.3 million, inclusive of $4.7 million of amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets.
Excluding the contribution from acquisitions, operating income of this segment decreased by $26.9 million year-over-year.
A less favorable project mix within the institutional and transportation market sectors, coupled with certain discrete project losses recognized during 2022, due, in part, to supply chain disruptions and delays, resulted in a decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin.
In addition to the impact of supply chain disruptions, a portion of these losses were attributable to project completion delays and time extensions, beyond our control, on certain projects which were bid a number of years ago under different economic conditions.
We continue to evaluate our contractual rights and are pursuing recovery for such impacts to the extent permitted.
The aforementioned reductions in gross profit margin were partially offset by a reduction in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expense to revenues as: (a) this segment was able to successfully leverage its overhead cost structure during this period of revenue growth and (b) the reduced profitability has resulted in a decrease in incentive compensation expense for certain of the operating subsidiaries within this segment.
Operating margins within this segment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were 7.7% and 8.0%, respectively.

Throughout 2022 and much of 2023, the Federal Reserve Board increased the federal funds rate.
For further discussion regarding the collectability of our outstanding accounts receivable, refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
As noted previously, the Federal Reserve Board has been increasing interest rates, and it is anticipated that rate increases will continue throughout 2023.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no direct borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility; however, the balance of the 2020 Term Loan was $242.8 million.
Based on the $242.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement, if overall interest rates were to increase by 200 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would increase by approximately $3.6 million in the next twelve months.
Conversely, if overall interest rates were to decrease by 200 basis points, interest expense, net of income taxes, would decrease by approximately $3.6 million in the next twelve months.
The 2020 Credit Agreement expires on March 2, 2025.
At the end of 2021, one-week and two-month LIBOR were discontinued.
It is expected that the remaining maturities of LIBOR will continue to be published through June 2023.
We believe our exposure to market risk associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR is limited as: (a) our 2020 Credit Agreement contains provisions which allow for the use of alternate benchmark rates, (b) we have not historically utilized the maturities that were discontinued in 2021 for any transaction, including borrowings under our 2020 Credit Agreement, and (c) we are not exposed to any other material contracts that reference LIBOR.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
0 rewritten, 33 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
*Board Risk Oversight.* Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) oversees our policies, procedures, and processes related to risk management, including assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats.
This oversight is performed primarily through the Audit Committee.
The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee responsibility for reviewing, with management, the guidelines and policies with respect to: (a) risk assessment and risk management, (b) our major risk exposures, and (c) the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.
The Audit Committee receives periodic reports relating to risk assessment and risk management, including cybersecurity threats, from our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Information Security Officer, the head of our Internal Audit Department, and our Vice President of Risk Management.
A cybersecurity update is provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly.
Members of our Audit Committee, and certain of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel, and Chief Information Security Officer, are participants in IANS, an industry leading cybersecurity education platform.
Our Chief Information Security Officer has more than 40 years of experience in security practice, processes, and standards, and holds various cybersecurity certifications.
*Governance, Risk Management, and Strategy.* As part of our overall risk management process, we have established a cybersecurity program and dedicated teams to manage and assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, direct the policies and procedures in place to protect our information systems, and respond to cybersecurity incidents if they occur.
These teams and committees, which additionally monitor the prevention, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents, include the following:
- Our Cybersecurity Executive Council, which is comprised of executive leadership, including our Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel, Chief Information Security Officer, and senior leaders from our segments and key operating companies.
The Cybersecurity Executive Council is responsible for reviewing policies and procedures related to cybersecurity and our cybersecurity program.
Such policies and procedures, as well as our cybersecurity program generally, are discussed with the Board.
- Our Cybersecurity Compliance Committee, which is made up of key cybersecurity and information technology personnel at the segment and operating company levels, receives regular updates and training with respect to cybersecurity in order to advise and assist management, including the Cybersecurity Executive Council, in implementing information systems security and incident response at our operating companies.
Our cybersecurity program is managed by our Chief Information Security Officer, who has more than 40 years of experience in information security, both in private industry and as an active-duty member of the United States Air Force.
Such experience includes developing security practices, processes, and standards, leading security teams, managing incident response and implementing technologies to enhance security and compliance.
We have also implemented cybersecurity training.
For example, key information technology and security personnel meet biweekly for training, updates on new cybersecurity threats, and implementation of new policies and all employees are required to undergo annual cybersecurity training, including email and password safety and phishing detection.
We engage third party cybersecurity firms to support our in-house cybersecurity initiatives and provide additional expertise with respect to our cybersecurity programs.
Such firms are overseen by our General Counsel and Chief Information Security Officer and provide the following services:
- On an annual basis, conduct penetration testing to evaluate the susceptibility of our information systems to cybersecurity threats and the effectiveness of our cybersecurity program;
- On a biennial basis, conduct a comprehensive “tabletop” exercise to evaluate our incident response policies and procedures and provide relevant experience for our employees tasked with executing such response; and
- On a biennial basis, conduct a cybersecurity assessment based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework.
[Table of Contents](#i5b93746942b5441a93c12246ba215868_7)
We have also established a process to evaluate third-party vendors and suppliers for cybersecurity risk and compliance with our security standards.
As applicable, on an annual basis we review System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 reports for all significant third-party vendors.
In addition to the efforts discussed above, we have developed and maintain an Incident Response Plan to establish a process for addressing cybersecurity incidents.
The Incident Response Plan includes incident response teams in place at the corporate and operating company levels to respond to a potential cybersecurity incident, processes for internal and external reporting, and other procedures to facilitate response and coordination.
As of the date of this report, we have not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material effect on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
Like other companies, we are the target of cyberattacks.
In 2020, for example, we publicly announced that we were the target of a systems intrusion in which a third party infected certain of the Company’s systems with malware.
Although we were able to resolve that matter without material impact, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be materially affected in the future by cybersecurity risks or any future material incidents.
For more information, see Item 1A.
Risk Factors, including the risk factor titled “We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology systems; our business and results of operations are subject to adverse impacts due to disruption, failure and cybersecurity breaches of these systems.”

In order to utilize such guidance, an entity must first conclude that the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace an eligible reference rate due to reference rate reform, and that any contemporaneous changes to other terms that change, or have the potential to change, the amount or timing of contractual cash flows are related to the replacement of a reference rate.
During the second quarter of 2023, we amended our then existing credit agreement to change the reference rate from LIBOR to an interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate, as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”).
As such amendment was within the scope of the aforementioned guidance, we adopted this accounting pronouncement and utilized the optional expedients referenced above.
We are not exposed to any other material contracts that reference LIBOR.
In November 2023, the FASB issued an ASU, which expands the required disclosure for reportable segments.
This guidance requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all segment disclosures which are currently required annually.
This ASU additionally requires entities to disclose the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as its chief operating decision-maker.
Such guidance, which is required to be applied retrospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted.
While the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact to our segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures.
Such guidance requires entities to provide additional information within their income tax rate reconciliation, including further disclosure of federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about these reconciling items if a quantitative threshold is met.
This guidance additionally requires expanded disclosure of income taxes paid, including amounts paid for federal, state, and foreign taxes.
While the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact on our income tax disclosures, including the processes and controls around the collection of this information.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized revenue of approximately $16.5 million on individual projects that were substantially complete in prior periods but had revisions to total estimated cost or anticipated contract value, which resulted in an increase to profitability in excess of $1.0 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The decrease in our allowance for credit losses was attributable to the write-off of specific amounts deemed uncollectible, partially offset by the provision for credit losses recorded during 2022.
We have adjusted our allowance for credit losses during 2022 to account for the impact of changing economic conditions, including rising interest rates.
| Balance at December 31, 2021 | | | $ | 23,534 | |
These balances decreased from December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of the payment, by our insurers, of certain claims for which we previously maintained a reserve and corresponding insurance receivable.
While we are still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement, we do not anticipate that it will have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, as we are not exposed to any contracts that reference LIBOR, other than our credit agreement dated as of March 2, 2020, which contains provisions that allow for the amendment of such agreement to use alternative reference rates upon the discontinuation of LIBOR.
In October 2021, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB that changes how an entity accounts for revenue contracts it acquires in a business combination.
The pronouncement requires entities to apply the revenue recognition guidance within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers in a business combination, creating an exception to the fair value recognition and measurement principle typically utilized when valuing acquired assets.
The guidance is aimed at improving comparability by addressing when an acquirer should recognize a contract asset or contract liability, as well as how such assets and liabilities should be measured, and will generally result in companies recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the target entity prior to acquisition.
There were no increases in total estimated costs or reductions to anticipated contract value that had a significant impact on our operating results during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of $6.1 million associated with the final settlement of the contract value for two projects within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment that were completed or substantially completed in prior periods.
