MasTec restructured segments while growing revenue 16% but experiencing a material decline in operating cash flow generation.

The substantial reduction in operating cash flow despite solid revenue growth suggests potential working capital challenges or timing issues that warrant investor attention. The segment restructuring moving utility operations from Communications to Power Delivery indicates strategic repositioning but may complicate near-term comparability analysis.

ADDED
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 36,000 employees and 810 locations.
In the first quarter of 2025, we made changes to our Communications and Power Delivery segment structure to more closely align with our segments end markets and to better correspond with the operational management reporting structure of both segments.
These changes included moving a component with utility operations previously reported in our Communications segment to our Power Delivery segment.
These changes did not impact our consolidated financial statements, but did impact our reportable segments, including historical financial information.
The segments are reported on a comparable basis for all periods presented.
Our Communications segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and customer fulfillment activities related to communications and digital infrastructure, primarily for wireless and wireline/fiber networks, data center buildout and interconnection, wireless integration and optimization and install-to-the-home services, as well as select utility infrastructure, among others.
Industry Trends The industries in which we operate are undergoing significant transformation driven by several broad, long term macroeconomic, technological and regulatory developments.
These developments include (i) continued expansion in data consumption and the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence ( AI ) applications and data centers; (ii) increasing levels of electrification across commercial, industrial and residential end users; (iii) ongoing transition of the U.S.
energy mix toward lower carbon and renewable resources; and (iv) federal, state and local investment in critical infrastructure, including through programs established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( IIJA ) and the Inflation Reduction Act ( IRA ).
Collectively, these factors are expected to continue to result in opportunities across our Communications, Clean Energy and Infrastructure, Power Delivery, and Pipeline Infrastructure segments.
REMOVED
BUSINESS We are a leading infrastructure construction company operating mainly throughout North America across a range of industries.

Our Communications segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and customer fulfillment activities related to communications infrastructure, primarily for wireless and wireline/fiber communications, wireless integration and optimization and install-to-the-home services, as well as infrastructure for utilities, among others.
We believe the following industry trends affect demand for our services: Opportunities in our Communications Segment Demand for seamless access across wireless and wired devices, high-speed internet connectivity, broadband and data transmission continues to spur demand for fast and more reliable wireless and wireline/fiber communications network services.
The use of mobile devices, mobile and remote technologies, video streaming usage, acceleration of business transacted online, increased demand of artificial intelligence driving data center growth and advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to require new and upgraded networks to meet the data traffic and reliability demands of these technologies.
According to IBISWorld s October 2024 publication, Wireless Tower Construction in the US (the IBISWorld October 2024 publication ), revenue for telecommunications infrastructure is expected to grow to $11.8 billion over the five year period through 2029.
The IBISWorld October 2024 publication also predicts that telecommunications service providers will invest substantially to improve network infrastructure and increase bandwidth to support video, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other high-speed data services.
5 Telecommunications providers have spent, and plan to continue spending, significant capital and other resources to deliver advanced telecommunications by deploying the latest infrastructure and are projected to play a significant role in shaping the future as next generation 5G wireless technology continues to gain traction among both industrial and consumer markets.
