Revenue Revenue for the quarter was just shy of $4 billion, a 22% year-over-year increase. This growth is attributed to strong execution and positive market conditions across all end markets.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA was $374 million, a 20% year-over-year increase. This growth performance was the highest level since the first quarter of 2024, driven by scale and diversification achieved over time.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) Adjusted EPS was $2.48, ahead of consensus by nearly $0.20. This reflects strong execution and operational efficiency.
Backlog Backlog at quarter end was $16.8 billion, a $325 million sequential increase and a 21% year-over-year increase. Growth was driven by increased volumes and contributions from all segments.
Communications Segment Revenue Revenue grew 33% year-over-year, driven by higher capital spend across wireless and wireline construction. EBITDA increased 38%, and EBITDA margins improved 40 basis points compared to last year.
Clean Energy and Infrastructure Segment Revenue Revenue grew 20% year-over-year, and EBITDA improved 36%, with margins increasing 100 basis points. Growth was driven by strong renewables demand and improved execution.
Power Delivery Segment Revenue Revenue grew 17% year-over-year, and EBITDA increased 21%. Margins improved 30 basis points despite a challenging year-over-year storm emergency response comparison.
Pipeline Infrastructure Segment Revenue Revenue increased 20% year-over-year, driven by a broad-based increase in gas pipeline work. EBITDA margin was 15.4%, meeting guidance, though still down from the previous year.

Backlog: Backlog at quarter end was $16.8 billion, a $325 million sequential increase. Third quarter backlog increased 21% year-over-year with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x.
Pipeline Infrastructure Segment: Revenues increased 20% year-over-year. Backlog increased 8% sequentially to $1.6 billion and more than doubled from the same period a year ago.
Geographic Expansion in Wireless: MasTec's wireless business continues to see solid growth from both geographic expansion and providing new and broader services to existing customers.
Broadband Infrastructure Build-Out: Demand strength continues to be supported by substantial broadband infrastructure build-out by legacy telecom players, cable operators, and newer entrant fiber overbuilders.
Renewables and Data Center Build-Outs: MasTec is well-positioned for growth in renewables, particularly solar and wind projects, and data center build-outs, including civil work and behind-the-meter power infrastructure.
Power Delivery Segment: Profit and margin year-over-year comparisons were negatively impacted by a lack of storm-related restoration services and lower-than-planned volume from the Greenlink project due to permitting delays. These challenges have been factored into the full-year outlook.
Communications Segment: Margins, while improved, still leave room for further enhancement. Investments made to support strong organic growth have slightly reduced full-year margin guidance.
Pipeline Infrastructure Segment: Margins remain challenged due to the ramp-up of new work compared to prior year outcomes, which benefited from project closeouts. Backlog visibility is limited as final contract documents are often completed close to project kickoff.
Clean Energy and Infrastructure Segment: While margins have improved, they remain in the high single-digit range, indicating room for further optimization. The segment is also reliant on renewable energy demand, which could be subject to market fluctuations.
Overall Margin Expansion: Despite improvements, consolidated margins are not yet fully optimized, and achieving double-digit margins remains a mid-term objective.
Greenlink Project: Permitting delays have caused lower-than-expected activity levels, impacting revenue and profit projections for the Power Delivery segment.
Communications Segment: The telecom infrastructure market remains dynamic with significant and growing capital investments to support broadband delivery, replacement of older cable systems, and enhanced AI applications. The company anticipates solid growth in wireless and wireline services, driven by broadband infrastructure build-out and middle-mile broadband projects. The Lumen contract is expected to drive growth in 2026.
Power Delivery Segment: Double-digit growth in both revenues and EBITDA is expected for full year 2025. The company foresees substantial grid investment demand due to aging infrastructure and increased power demand. A major project, second only to the Greenlink project, is expected to start in mid-2026 and will be added to backlog by year-end.
Clean Energy and Infrastructure Segment: Strong growth is anticipated, driven by renewables, particularly solar and wind projects for 2026 and beyond. The segment backlog increased 21% year-over-year, with a 9th consecutive sequential increase in renewables backlog. Industrial and Infrastructure businesses are expected to grow due to transportation and data center build-outs.
Pipeline Infrastructure Segment: Revenue growth and margin improvements are expected in 2026, supported by increased gas pipeline work and LNG export demand. Backlog increased 124% year-over-year, with significant verbal awards expected to convert to backlog in the coming periods.
Overall Financial Guidance: 2025 full-year revenue guidance increased to $14.075 billion, with adjusted EBITDA of $1.135 billion. Adjusted EPS is forecasted at $6.40, up 62% versus 2024. The company expects annual positive margin progression and strong cash flow from operations of $700 million to $750 million for 2025.
Share Repurchase Authorization: MasTec maintains a share repurchase authorization and will deploy capital to buybacks opportunistically.
