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. The 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."
