Included in operating income for the second quarter of 2018 was an impairment charge of $0.9 million.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to the comparable GAAP figures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $226.2 million, or 9.7% of revenues, compared to $189.9 million, or 9.7% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2018.

The Company's income tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 28.3%, compared to an income tax rate of 27.2% in the year ago period.

Remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2019 were $4.23 billion compared to $3.67 billion at June 30, 2018. Total U.S. remaining performance obligations grew $558.0 million year-over-year.

Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, commented, “The Company reported another record quarter, delivering record quarterly revenues, operating income, net income attributable to EMCOR and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We achieved exceptional revenue growth of 19.0% year-over-year, of which 15.2% was organic, driven by excellent results across the business, including double-digit revenue growth in each of our domestic segments. This strong revenue performance coupled with our disciplined project execution drove operating income growth of 20.4% year-over-year. The demand that we are experiencing is broad-based across geographies and end-markets, and we continue to see significant opportunities in the market, as evidenced by growth in our remaining performance obligations of 15.1% year-over-year.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “Our U.S. Construction segments continue to deliver outstanding results, generating combined revenue growth of 15.7% year-over-year and operating income growth of 4.7% year-over-year. U.S. Mechanical Construction delivered revenue growth of 13.7%, all of which was organic, and U.S. Electrical Construction posted organic growth of 9.4%, with the companies we recently acquired contributing to overall growth of 18.7%. Our U.S. Building Services segment performed exceptionally well, posting a third consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and a sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit operating income growth, driven by strong demand in our mechanical services and energy services businesses and supported by continued execution on several large contracts within our commercial site-based business. We continue to see improved performance in our U.S. Industrial Services segment, which posted revenue growth of 60.6% year-over-year, driven by our field services operations, where we completed several large, complex turnarounds, and sustained strength in our shop services business. Finally, our U.K. Building Services segment reported revenue and operating income growth of 6.7% and 19.0%, respectively, as we continue to see strong demand for our services.”

Revenues for the first six months of 2019 totaled $4.48 billion, an increase of 16.3% compared to $3.85 billion for the first six months of 2018. Net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2019 was $156.4 million, or $2.77 per diluted share, compared to $126.7 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2018. Excluding the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2018, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to EMCOR for the first six months of 2018 was $127.6 million, or $2.17 per diluted share.

Operating income for the first six months of 2019 was $222.3 million, or 5.0% of revenues, compared to $177.7 million, or 4.6% of revenues, for the first six months of 2018. Included in operating income for the first six months of 2018 was an impairment charge of $0.9 million. Excluding this impairment charge, non-GAAP operating income for the first six months of 2018 was $178.6 million, or 4.6% of revenues. SG&A totaled $432.4 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the first six months of 2019 compared to $380.9 million, or 9.9% of revenues, for the first six months of 2018.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to the comparable GAAP figures.

Based on year-to-date performance, favorable project mix, and assuming the continuation of current market conditions, EMCOR is raising its full-year 2019 revenue guidance range to $8.8-$8.9 billion, an increase from the prior guidance range of $8.5-$8.6 billion. The Company now also expects full-year 2019 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $5.50-$5.75, an increase from the prior guidance range of $5.00-$5.50.

Mr. Guzzi concluded, “We delivered a record first half of the year and are optimistic about our additional opportunities for growth in the second half of 2019. Our updated guidance reflects our exceptional performance year-to-date, as well as our expectation for continued strong project execution and cost discipline throughout the remainder of the year. As we look ahead, we will use our healthy balance sheet to invest in our business organically and pursue our robust pipeline of strategic acquisition opportunities, balanced with a return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”
