Segment Discussion

MasTec manages its continuing operations under five operating segments, which represent MasTec’s five reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Oil and Gas; (3) Electrical Transmission; (4) Power Generation and Industrial and (5) Other. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for MasTec’s labor-based construction services.All five reportable segments derive their revenue from the engineering, installation and maintenance of infrastructure, primarily in North America. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company reevaluated the activities of a non-controlled Canadian joint venture associated with a 2014 acquisition. The joint venture, which provides civil construction services, is proportionately consolidated. The results of operations of this joint venture were formerly reported within the Oil and Gas segment. Due to the differing nature of the services that this joint venture provides and the customers it serves, this joint venture, which is immaterial for disclosure as a separate segment, will now be reported within the Other segment. Accordingly, segment information for prior periods has been adjusted retrospectively to conform to the current period presentation.

The Communications segment performs engineering, construction and maintenance of communications infrastructure primarily related to wireless and wireline/fiber communications and install-to-the-home customers, and, to a lesser extent, infrastructure for electrical utilities.MasTec performs engineering, construction and maintenance services on oil and natural gas pipelines and processing facilities for the energy and utilities industries through its Oil and Gas segment.The Electrical Transmission segment primarily serves the energy and utility industries through the engineering, construction and maintenance of electrical transmission lines and substations.The Power Generation and Industrial segment primarily serves energy, utility and other end-markets through the installation and construction of conventional and renewable power facilities, related electrical transmission infrastructure, ethanol facilities and various types of industrial infrastructure.The Other segment primarily includes a proportionately consolidated joint venture and other small business units that perform construction services for a variety of end-markets in Canada, Mexico and elsewhere internationally.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. As appropriate, the Company supplements the reporting of consolidated financial information determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors in understanding the Company’s financial results and in assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and versus that of its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s reportable segment results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. Segment EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated EBITDA. For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, Communications segment EBITDA included $8.8 million of acquisition integration costs resulting from the WesTower acquisition; Power Generation and Industrial segment EBITDA included $16.0 million of losses on a Canadian wind project; Other segment EBITDA included $5.5 million of losses on a non-controlled proportionately consolidated Canadian joint venture; and Corporate segment EBITDA included $3.0 million of Audit Committee investigation related costs.
