In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. CertainWhen necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include MasTec, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that MasTec consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity.equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within liabilities. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company’sCompany applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which the Companyit does not have a controlling financial interest, but forover which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity methodinfluence. See Note 4 - Fair Value of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as other long-term assets, or, for investments in a net liability position, within other long-term liabilities. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties.Financial Instruments. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unincorporated entity, but the Company does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity. The cost method is used for investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence.
Management determines whether each business entity in which it has equity interests, debt, or other investments constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on the nature and characteristics of such arrangements. If an investment arrangement is determined to be a VIE, then management determines if the Company is the VIE’s primary beneficiary by evaluating several factors, including the Company’s: (i) risks and responsibilities; (ii) ownership interests; (iii) decision making powers; and (iv) financial interests, among other factors. If management determines the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, then it would be consolidated, and other parties’ interests in the VIE would be accounted for as non-controlling interests. The primary beneficiary consolidating the VIE must normally have both (i) the power to direct the primary activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, which, in either case, could be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that certain of its investment arrangements were VIEs; however, because it does not have the power to direct the primary activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and accordingly, has not consolidated these VIEs.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses accumulatedincluded within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates. Gains or losses from remeasurement are included in other income or expense, net. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in other income or expense, net.
In these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Management Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformityaccordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect


the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. KeyThese estimates include: the recognition of revenueare based on historical experience and project profit or loss (which the Company defines as project revenue, less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation), in particular, on construction contracts accounted forvarious other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the percentage-of-completion method,circumstances, including the potential future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and other relevant global and/or macroeconomic trends and events. These estimates form the basis for whichmaking judgments about the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to completeCompany’s operating results and the amount of probable contract price adjustments; allowances for doubtful accounts; estimated faircarrying values of goodwillassets and intangible assets; acquisition-related contingent consideration and investments in equity investees; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; fair values of financial instruments; accrued self-insured claims; share-based compensation;liabilities that are not readily apparent from other accruals and allowances; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of litigation and other contingencies.sources. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from thosethese estimates.
Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss, which the Company defines as project revenue, less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation, in particular, on construction contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method, for which the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to complete and the amount and probability of variable consideration included in the contract transaction price; fair value estimates, including those related to acquisitions, valuations of goodwill and intangible assets, acquisition-related contingent consideration and other liabilities, equity investments and other long-lived assets; allowances for credit losses; asset lives used in

computing depreciation and amortization; fair values of financial instruments; self-insurance liabilities; other accruals and allowances; income taxes; and the estimated effects of litigation and other contingencies.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted business activities and significantly affected global economic conditions in 2020 and continuing into 2021 as federal, state and local governments imposed restrictions and mitigation measures to address the public health crisis, the effects of which resulted in workforce, supply chain and production disruptions and created significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies. While the adverse effects of these restrictions and mitigation measures partially subsided in the second half of 2020 and into 2021, the possibility of future restrictions remains in the event of a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the future.
As a provider of essential services, all of the Company’s business segments continued to operate throughout 2020 and into 2021, and where safe and possible, the Company’s customers generally directed it to maintain normal work schedules. The Company’s business model has, thus far, proven resilient, and management continues to adapt to the changing operational and economic environment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Management’s top priority has been to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of its employees, customers and business partners. The Company has adjusted its standard operating procedures within its business operations to ensure employee and customer safety, and is continually monitoring evolving health guidelines and responding to changes as appropriate. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the Company’s operations in 2020 and is expected to continue to affect its business activities in 2021. These impacts include lost productivity from governmental permitting approval delays, reduced crew productivity due to social distancing, other mitigation measures and other factors, the health and availability of work crews or other key personnel, including subcontractors or supply chain disruptions, and/or delayed project start dates or project shutdowns or cancellations that may be mandated or requested by governmental authorities or others, all of which could result in lower revenue or higher operating costs and/or create lower levels of overhead cost absorption.
Several relief measures have been enacted in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (the “Coronavirus Relief Act”).  The CARES Act permitted deferral and/or reduction of certain federal and payroll tax amounts, certain of which the Company pursued, including the deferral of approximately $59 million of payroll taxes, half of which are due by December 31, 2021, with the remainder due by December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential effects, usefulness of, and qualification for, additional COVID-19 relief measures on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Notwithstanding moderation of the COVID-19 pandemic and easing of governmental and other restrictions, the Company may continue to experience negative effects on its business and operations from possible longer-term changes in consumer and customer behavior, and/or from continuing negative economic conditions. The Company believes that it has taken appropriate steps to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business; however, the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, as they depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict. The availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the speed with which they can be administered to the public, the degree to which the public is willing to be vaccinated and the degree that vaccines are effective in preventing infection or illness from existing or new strains of COVID-19, along with the length and extent of any continuing economic and market disruptions are unknown, and, therefore, any future impacts on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. Revenue is derivedprimarily recognized by the Company over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer, and correspondingly, when performance obligations are satisfied for the related contracts.
Contracts. The Company derives revenue primarily from construction projects performed underunder: (i) master and other service agreements, as well as fromwhich provide a menu of available services in a specific geographic territory that are utilized on an as-needed basis, and are typically priced using either a time and materials or a fixed price per unit basis; and (ii) contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system, or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. The Company frequently provides services undersystem, which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed price, unit price, or fixed price master service or other service agreements. Revenue and related costs for master and other service agreements billed on a time and materials, basis are recognized as the services are rendered.or cost plus a markup. Revenue derived from projects performed under master service and other service agreements totaled 32%28% and 38%42% of consolidated revenue for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016, respectively, and totaled 35% and 43% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2020, respectively. The Company also performs services under
For certain master service and other service agreements on a fixed fee basis, under which MasTec furnishes specified units ofthe Company performs installation and maintenance services, primarily for install-to-the-home service for a fixed price per unit of service andproviders in its Communications segment, revenue is recognized asat a point in time. This is generally when the services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts provideswork order has been fulfilled, which is typically the same day the work is initiated. Point in time revenue accounted for a fixed amountapproximately 5% and 6% of consolidated revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or specifications. Revenue from these contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to masterthree month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s other service agreements,revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered, which may be measured in terms of costs incurred, units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment. Much of the materials associated with the Company’s work are customer-furnished and are therefore not included in contract revenue and costs.over time.
The total contract transaction price and cost estimation processprocesses used for recognizing revenue recognizedover time under the percentage-of-completioncost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract revenuetransaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlementsvariable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract value andtransaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors maycould result in revisions to costs and income and their effects are recognizedrevenue in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations for that period.

For both the ninethree month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, project profit was affected by less than 5% as a result of changes in contract estimates included in projects that were in process as of December 31, 20162020 and 2015. Provisions2019. Revenue recognized for losses on uncompleted contracts are madethe three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as a result of changes in the periodtotal contract transaction price estimates, including from variable consideration, from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in which such losses are determined to be probableprior periods, totaled approximately $13.8 million and the amount$17.8 million, respectively.
The Company may incur certain costs that can be reasonably estimated.capitalized, such as initial set-up or mobilization costs. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective projects, were $3.7 million and $5.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Performance Obligations.A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The vast majority of fixed price contractsthe Company’s performance obligations are completed within one year.
TheRemaining performance obligations represent the amount of unearned transaction prices under contracts for which work is wholly or partially unperformed, including the Company’s share of unearned transaction prices from its proportionately consolidated non-controlled joint ventures. As of March 31, 2021, the amount of the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $5.0 billion. Based on current expectations, the Company expects to recognize approximately $4.0 billion of its remaining performance obligations as revenue during 2021, with the majority of the remaining balance to be recognized in 2022.
Variable Consideration. Transaction prices for the Company’s contracts may incur costs subject toinclude variable consideration, which comprises items such as change orders, whether approved or unapproved byclaims and incentives. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that it believes best predict the customer, and/or claims relatedamount of consideration to certain contracts. Management determineswhich the probability that such costsCompany will be recoveredentitled. Management’s estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in transaction prices are based uponlargely on engineering studies and legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer. The Company treats such costs as a costcustomer and all other relevant information that is reasonably available at the time of contract performancethe estimate. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and other variable consideration reflected in transaction prices are not resolved in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered, and defers costsCompany’s favor, or recognizes revenue up to the amountextent incentives reflected in transaction prices are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, the related cost if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated. previously recognized revenue.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no changes inThe discussion below describes the expected dateseffects of adoption or estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of recently issuedrecent accounting pronouncements, as updated from those disclosedthe discussion in the Company’s 20162020 Form 10-K. See below for additional discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.


Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted in 2021
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting model in Topic 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also simplifies certain documentation and assessment requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. All transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption and their effects should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The presentation and disclosure requirements are effective on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Limited and administrative modifications that do not change the value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award are exempt from following the modification guidance in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017,2019, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income- Gains and Losses from2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets(“Income Taxes (“ASU 2017-05”2019-12”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies, which eliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance under Subtopic 610-20 that was issued as part offor income taxes related to the new revenue standard, includingapproach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of gains and losses on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, and clarifies accountingdeferred tax liabilities for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures, among other requirements. ASU 2017-05 is effective on a retrospectiveoutside basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of this ASU is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use judgment and make estimates when evaluating contract terms and other relevant facts and circumstances. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective using either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition approach for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued several accounting standards updates to clarify certain topics within ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, and its related clarifying ASUs, as of January 1, 2018.
The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the potential effects of these ASUs on its consolidated financial statements, business processes, systems and controls.  The Company’s assessment included a detailed review of representative contracts at each of the Company’s business units and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Based on the Company’s review of various types of revenue arrangements, the Company expects to recognize revenue and earnings over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its fixed price contracts and certain master service and other service agreements, consistent with current practice.  For these contracts, the cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer under the new standard. The Company has substantially completed its analysis of the information necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures under the new standard. As part of this analysis, the Company evaluated its information technology capabilities and systems, and does not expect to incur significant information technology costs to modify systems currently in place. The Company will implement targeted changes to its internal reporting processes to facilitate gathering the data needed for reporting and disclosure under the new standard. The Company will also implement updates to its control processes and procedures, as necessary, based on changes resulting from the new standard. The Company does not expect any such updates to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective transition approach.  Under this approach, the new standard would apply to all new contracts initiated on or after January 1, 2018.  For existing contracts that have remaining obligations as of January 1, 2018, any difference between the recognition criteria in these ASUs and the Company’s current revenue recognition practices would be recognized using a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.  Any potential effect of adoption of these ASUs has not yet been quantified; however, based on the review of contracts across all of the Company’s business units to date, the adoption of these ASUs is not expected to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue recognized as compared to current practices.  The Company is training its business units for the implementation of the new standard, and continues developing the disclosures required by the new standard. The Company is also reviewing certain contracts entered into by its business units subsequent to its initial assessment that are expected to have performance obligations remaining as of January 1, 2018 for any cumulative effect adjustments that may be required upon adoption.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of January 1, 2017
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”) effective January 1, 2017. Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) or tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) are recognized in the income statement, rather than as additional paid-in-capital as under the previous guidance, and are presented as operating cash flows,


rather than as a financing activity.differences. This ASU also increasedsimplifies the amount of tax that can be withheldaccounting for income taxes by an employer for employee tax withholdings without resulting in liability classification of an award. Payments to taxing authorities for such employee withholdings are presented as financing activities. ASU 2016-09 also allows companies to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur or to estimate such amounts. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 that were applicableclarifying and amending existing guidance related to the Company were adopted on a prospective basis; the retrospective requirement to classify payments to taxing authorities for employee withholdings as a financing activity was consistent with the Company’s existing methodology, therefore did not resulteffects of enacted changes in a change. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is expected to result in volatility in income tax expense given that windfallslaws or shortfalls are recognized in income tax expenserates in the periodseffective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax and the evaluation of a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 2019-12, which they occur. The other componentsthe Company adopted during the first quarter of this ASU2021, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 - Earnings Per Share, Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Benefit Plans and Note 12 - Income Taxes for additional information.
Note 2 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which excludes non-participating unvested restricted share awards. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to MasTec by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as issued but unvested restricted shares and/or outstanding but unexercised stock options. The Company has no remaining outstanding stock options; all options under the Company’s stock option grants were exercised in 2016.shares. If the Company reports a loss, rather than income, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
As discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. ASU 2016-09 changed the recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies upon the vesting of share-based payment awards from additional paid-in capital, within equity, to income tax benefit or expense, within the statement of operations. As a result, excess tax benefits or deficiencies under ASU 2016-09 are excluded from assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. Previously, excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies were included within assumed proceeds. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, this resulted in the inclusion of approximately 0.3 million incremental shares in the Company’s total weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Amortization expenseQuarterly Assessment for Indicators of Impairment. During the first quarter of 2021, in conjunction with the Company’s quarterly review for indicators of impairment, management performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill associated with 1 reporting unit within the Oil and Gas segment. Based on the results of this assessment, management determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. Significant changes in the assumptions or estimates used in management’s assessment, such as a reduction in profitability and/or cash flows, could result in non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets forin the future.
Recent Acquisitions
The Company seeks to grow and diversify its business both organically and through acquisitions and/or other strategic arrangements in order to deepen its market presence, broaden its geographic reach and expand its service offerings.
2021 Acquisitions. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $6.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, totaled $15.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively.
2017 Acquisitions.During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, MasTec completed three2 acquisitions, including (i) a wireline/fiber deployment construction contractor, which is includedall of the equity interests in the Company’s Communications segment; (ii) a heavy civil infrastructure construction services company whichthat is included inwithin the Company’s Power GenerationClean Energy and IndustrialInfrastructure segment, and (iii) an oilall of the equity interests in a pipeline integrity and gas pipeline equipment company, whichdistribution contractor that is included inwithin the Company’s Oil and Gas segment.The aggregate purchase price for these entities was composed of approximately $90 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Determination of the estimated fair values of net assets acquired for these acquisitions was preliminary as of March 31, 2021; as a result, further adjustments to these estimates may occur.
2020 Acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2020, MasTec completed 5 acquisitions. These acquisitions included the
11


equity interests of 2 entities. Through a consolidated subsidiary, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in a heavy civil infrastructure construction company that is included within the Company’s Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment. As of the date of acquisition, the Company’s ownership interest in the consolidated subsidiary was 96%, and as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was 91%, with the non-controlling interests owned by members of subsidiary management. The Company also acquired all of the equity interests in a utility service and telecommunications construction contractor that is included within the Company’s Communications segment. Additionally, the Company acquired the assets of 3 entities in 2020, 1 that specializes in wireless telecommunications and 1 that specializes in install-to-the-home services, both of which are included within the Company’s Communications segment, and 1 that specializes in electrical transmission services that is included within the Company’s Electrical Transmission segment.
The aggregate purchase price for these entities was composed of approximately $23.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, with an additional $3.2 million due through 2023, subject to certain indemnification provisions, and earn-out liabilities with 5-year terms valued at approximately $8.3 million. Earn-outs are generally payable annually and are recorded within other current and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2021, the range of remaining potential undiscounted earn-out liabilities for the 2020 acquisitions was estimated to be between $1 million and $13 million; however, there is no maximum payment amount. Determination of the estimated fair values of net assets acquired and the estimated earn-out liabilities for these acquisitions iswas preliminary as of September 30, 2017, andMarch 31, 2021; as a result, further adjustments to management’s preliminarythese estimates may occur.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of consideration paidPro Forma Financial Information and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the respective dates of acquisition (in millions).

Amortizing intangible assets related to the 2017 acquisitions are primarily composed of customer relationships, backlog and other amortizing intangible assets, which had weighted average lives of approximately 11 years, 4 years and 7 years, respectively, and 10 years in total, and will be amortized in a manner consistent with the pattern in which the related benefits are expected to be consumed. The goodwill balances for the respective acquisitions represent the estimated value of each acquired company’s geographic presence in key markets, their assembled workforce, and management team industry-specific project management expertise, as well as synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the acquired companies and MasTec. Approximately $75 million of the acquired goodwill balance as of September 30, 2017 is expected to be tax deductible.

The contingent consideration included in the table above equals the acquired companies’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) above certain thresholds, if applicable, for a period of five years, as set forth in the respective purchase agreements, which amounts are payable annually. The fair values of the earn-out liabilities were estimated using income approaches such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models and incorporate significant inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions in the estimated valuations include the discount rate and probability-weighted EBITDA projections. Significant changes in any of these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower potential earn-out liability.


Acquisition Results. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and 2020, unaudited supplemental pro forma revenue totaled approximately $1,955.8 million$1.8 billion and $5,077.4 million,$1.6 billion, respectively, and unaudited supplemental pro forma net income totaled approximately $64.4$68.6 million and $192.0$46.7 million, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, pro forma revenue totaled approximately $1,634.5 million and $3,934.6 million, respectively, and pro forma net income totaled approximately $59.0 million and $81.5 million, respectively.
The above indicated unaudited pro forma financial results, which represent the results of operations of the companies acquired as if the acquired companies had been consolidated as of January 1, 2016, are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined companies for the periods indicated, or of the results that may be achieved by the combined companies in the future. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of MasTec to include the historical results of the acquired businesses described above, and then adjusted (i) to remove acquisition costs; (ii) to increase amortization expense resulting from the acquired intangible assets; (iii) to increase interest expense as a result of the cash consideration paid; (iv) to reduce interest expense from debt repaid upon acquisition; and (iv) to eliminate the effect of intercompany transactions. Additionally, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results do not include adjustments to reflect other cost savings or synergies that may have resulted from these acquisitions. Future results may vary significantly due to future events and transactions, as well as other factors, many of which are beyond MasTec’s control.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, acquisition-related results included inMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s consolidated results of operations included acquisition-related revenue of approximately $62.2$86.8 million and $96.1$49.5 million, respectively, and included acquisition-related net income of approximately $3.2$1.2 million and $4.7acquisition-related net losses of approximately $1.2 million, respectively.respectively, based on the Company’s consolidated effective tax rates. These acquisition-related results include amortization of intangible assets and exclude the effects of acquisition costs and interest expense associated with consideration paid for the related acquisitions.
Q2 2021 Acquisitions.

This entity will be included within the Company’s Electrical Transmission segment. MasTec acquired all of INTREN’s equity interests for approximately $420 million in cash plus an Earn-out, which is contingent upon INTREN’s results for the year ended December 31, 2021. The acquisition of INTREN was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility and is subject to customary purchase price adjustments. MasTec also completed 2 additional immaterial acquisitions, which included all of the equity interests of a telecommunications and utility engineering services company and a heavy industrial general contractor that will be included within our Communications and Clean Energy and Infrastructure segments, respectively. Due to the limited amount of time since these acquisitions, the initial purchase accounting is incomplete. The Company will complete an initial allocation of purchase price to total net assets acquired for these acquisitions in the second quarter of 2021.
Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, life insurance assets, cost and equity method investments, stock warrants,certain other investments, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, accounts payable and other current liabilities, acquisition-related contingent consideration, certain intangible assets and liabilities, including off-market contracts,mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, convertible debentures and debt obligations.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy, which requires maximizing the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used are: (i) Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - observable market-based inputs or other observable inputs; and (iii) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data, which are generally determined using valuation models incorporating management estimates of market participant assumptions. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other available information. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amountsliabilities is composed of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values. Management believes the carrying values of notes and other receivables, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities and outstanding balances on its credit facilities approximate their fair values.

The following table provides details pertaining toparticipants. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company’s ESPPs were amended (the “Amended ESPPs”), eliminating the look-back option and changing the offering period from three months to two weeks. Under the Amended ESPPs, eligible participants are permitted to purchase MasTec, Inc. common stock at 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase, which occurs on the last trading day of each two week offering period.

Prior to January 1, 2021, the fair value of purchases under the ESPPs was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The Company may issue common shares to plan participants or reacquire common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the Company’s discretion. For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, 18,843 shares were purchased by employees for $1.4 million pursuant to the Amended ESPPs, which shares were reacquired by the Company on the open market.

Note 10 – Other Retirement Plans
Multiemployer Plans. Certain of MasTec’s subsidiaries including certain subsidiaries in Canada, contribute amounts to multiemployer pension and other multiemployer benefit plans and trusts which are recorded as a component of employee wages and salaries within costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization.(“MEPPs”). Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts per hour per employee for employees covered under these plans. Multiemployer plan contribution rates are determined annually and assessed on a “pay-as-you-go” basis based on union employee payrolls. Union payrolls cannot be determined for future periods because the number of union employees employed at a given time, and the plans in which they may participate, vary depending upon the location and number of ongoing projects at a given time and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. Total contributions to multiemployer plans and the related number of employees covered by these plans including with respect to the Company’s Canadian operations, for the periods indicated were as follows:

Note 12 - Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, management uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on forecasted annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter(s) in which they occur. For the three month periodperiods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized certain tax credits based upon the results of a study that is currently underway, which amount was determined based on management’s estimates and currently available information. Further adjustments to the amount recognized may occur as the results of the study are finalized, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.

As discussed in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, which changed the recognition requirements for excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) or tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) from share-based payment awards. ASU 2016-09 requires windfalls or shortfalls to be recognized within income tax expense in the interim periods in which they occur, rather than as additional paid-in capital. Given that windfalls or shortfalls are recognized in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur, they are not included when estimating annualCompany’s consolidated effective tax rates.rates were 30.7% and 1.2%, respectively. The tax effect related to the vesting of share-based payment awards did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 included the effect of $2.3 million related to non-deductible share-based compensation, and ninefor the three month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, currentcertain valuation allowances on Canadian deferred tax assets net, totaled $11.8 million and long-term deferred tax liabilities, net, totaled $178.4 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued income and other taxes payable, which are included within other accrued expenses, totaled $19.8 million and $40.3 million, respectively. The Company adopted Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which changed the classification requirements for deferred tax assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2017. ASU 2015-17 requires long-term classification of all deferredthat were no longer necessary.


tax assets and liabilities, rather than separately classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities based on their net current and non-current amounts, as was required under the previous guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on a prospective basis, therefore prior periods were not adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 13 - Segments and Related Information
Segment Discussion
MasTecThe Company manages its operations under five5 operating segments, which represent MasTec’s fiveits 5 reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Clean Energy and Infrastructure; (3) Oil and Gas; (3)(4) Electrical Transmission; (4) Power Generation and IndustrialTransmission and (5) Other. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for MasTec’sthe Company’s labor-based construction services. All five5 reportable segments derive their revenue from the engineering, installation and maintenance of infrastructure, primarily in North America.
The Communications segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and customer fulfillment activities related to communications infrastructure, primarily for wireless and wireline/fiber communications and install-to-the-home customers, and, to a lesser extent,as well as infrastructure for utilities, among others. MasTecThe Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment primarily serves energy, utility and other end-markets through the installation and construction of power generation facilities, including from clean energy and renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass, as well as various types of heavy civil and industrial infrastructure. The Company performs engineering, construction and maintenance services on oil and natural gasfor 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/biofuel facilities and various types of heavy civil and industrial infrastructure. The Other segment includes certain equity investees, the services of which vary from those provided by the Company’s four primary segments, as well as other small business units that perform construction and other services for a variety of international end-markets.
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 its 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 understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results for its reportable segments, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry, and for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, can also be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our common stock or variations in the value of shares granted.industry. Segment EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated EBITDA.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, Other segment EBITDA included project losses of $0.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture, which is managed by a third party, and for which we have minimal direct construction involvement. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, Other segment EBITDA included $5.1 million of project losses on this proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, EBITDA for the Oil and Gas and Electrical Transmission segments included first quarter project losses of $13.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion and analysis of our business, financial positioncondition and results of operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016.2020. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), and the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contained in our 20162020 Form 10-K. In this MD&A, “$” means U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the rapidly growing outbreak of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted business activities and significantly affected global economic conditions in 2020 and continuing into 2021 as federal, state and local governments imposed restrictions and mitigation measures to address the public health crisis, the effects of which resulted in workforce, supply chain and production disruptions and created significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies. While the adverse effects of these restrictions and mitigation measures partially subsided in the second half of 2020 and into 2021, the possibility of future restrictions remains in the event of a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the future. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic could affect our business, operations and financial results will depend upon numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the speed with which they can be administered to the public, the degree to which the public is willing to be vaccinated and the degree that vaccines are effective in preventing infection or illness from existing or new strains of COVID-19, along with the length and extent of any continuing economic and market disruptions.
As a provider of essential services, all of our business segments continued to operate throughout 2020 and into 2021, and where safe and possible, our customers generally directed us to maintain normal work schedules. Our business model has, thus far, proven resilient, and we continue to adapt to the changing operational and economic environment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our top priority has been to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners. We have adjusted our standard operating procedures within our business operations to ensure employee and customer safety, and are continually monitoring evolving health guidelines and responding to changes as appropriate. These procedures have included implementation of specialized training programs, appropriate social distancing procedures and required use of personal protective equipment for our crew operations, as well as appropriate sanitation measures for key equipment and facilities. We have restricted non-essential business travel and incorporated work-at-home programs as appropriate for our administrative offices. For in-office operations, appropriate safety and social distancing measures have been incorporated. We have also developed human resource guidance to assist our employees. In certain locations where our operations experienced challenges as a result of the pandemic, we have actively collaborated with our customers to minimize potential service disruptions and operational impacts.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on our operations in 2020, and is expected to continue to affect our business activities in 2021. These impacts include lost productivity from governmental permitting approval delays, reduced crew productivity due to social distancing, other mitigation measures and other factors, the health and availability of work crews or other key personnel, including subcontractors, supply chain disruptions, and/or delayed project start dates or project shutdowns or cancellations that may be mandated or requested by governmental authorities or others, all of which could result in lower revenue or higher operating costs and/or create lower levels of overhead cost absorption. We continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and may take further actions, as necessary, that we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, business partners and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. Additionally, disruptions in economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may continue to have, adverse effects across our end markets, particularly in the oil and gas sector. To the extent that future business activities are adversely affected by the pandemic, we intend to take appropriate actions to mitigate any such impacts.
Several relief measures have been enacted in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the CARES Act and the Coronavirus Relief Act.  We have deferred approximately $59 million of payroll taxes under the CARES Act, half of which are due by December 31, 2021, with the remainder due by December 31, 2022. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential effects, usefulness of, and qualification for, additional COVID-19 relief measures on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
23


Notwithstanding moderation of the COVID-19 pandemic and easing of governmental and other restrictions, we may continue to experience negative effects on our business and operations from possible longer-term changes in consumer and customer behavior, and/or from continuing negative economic conditions. We believe that we have taken appropriate steps to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business; however, the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, as they depend upon numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, and therefore, any future impacts on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.
As of March 31, 2021, we maintained a strong balance sheet, have strong relationships with our banking partners and had ample liquidity totaling approximately $1.7 billion, comprising $1.2 billion of availability under our Credit Facility and $512 million of cash. We believe that our financial position, strong cash flows and operational strengths will enable us to manage the current challenges and uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business operations typically generate significant cash flow, affording us the flexibility to invest strategically in our efforts to maximize shareholder value through acquisitions and other strategic arrangements, share repurchases and capital expenditures. We are carefully managing liquidity and are monitoring any potential effects from the pandemic on our financial results, cash flows and/or working capital, and intend to take appropriate actions in efforts to mitigate any impacts.
Business Overview
We are a leading infrastructure construction company operating mainly throughout North America across a range of industries. Our primary activities include the engineering, building, installation, maintenance and upgrade of communications, energy, utility and utilityother infrastructure, such as: wireless, wireline/fiber install-to-the-home and customer fulfillment activities; petroleumpower generation, including from clean energy and natural gasrenewable sources; pipeline infrastructure; electrical utility transmission and distribution; conventional and renewable power generation; heavy civilcivil; and industrial infrastructure. Our customers are primarily in these industries. Including our predecessor companies, we have been in business for almostover 90 years. For the twelve month period ended March 31, 2021, we had an average of approximately 19,000 employees and 450 locations. We offer our services primarily under the MasTec service mark and, as of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 21,500 employees and 415 locations.mark. We have been consistently ranked among the top specialty contractors by Engineering News-Record for the past several years.
We provide our services to a diversified base of customers. We often provide services under master service and other service agreements, which are generally multi-year agreements. The remainder of our work is generated pursuant to contracts for specific projects or jobs that require the construction or installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system. Revenue from non-recurring, project specific work may experience greater variability than master service and other service agreement work due to the need to replace the revenue as projects are completed. If we are not able to replace work from completed projects with new project work, we may not be able to maintain our current revenue levels or our current level of capacity and resource utilization. We actively review our backlog of project work and take appropriate action to minimize such exposure.
We manage our operations under five operating segments, which represent our five reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Clean Energy and Infrastructure; (3) Oil and Gas; (3)(4) Electrical Transmission; (4) Power Generation and IndustrialTransmission and (5) Other. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for our labor-based construction services. See Note 13 - Segments and Related Information and Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are incorporated by reference, for segment relatedresults and information as well as operating results by segment and significant customer concentrations.
Backlog
Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the next 18 months from future work on uncompleted construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and includes our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers. WeBased on current expectations of our customers’ requirements, we expect to realize approximately 25%67% of our September 30, 2017 estimated March 31, 2021 backlog in 2017.2021. The following table presents 18-month estimated backlog by reportable segment as of the dates indicated:

Approximately 65%As of March 31, 2021, 46% of our backlog as of September 30, 2017 is attributable to amounts under master service or other service agreements, pursuant to which our customers are not contractually committed to purchase a minimum amount of services. Most of these agreements can be canceled on short or no advance notice. Timing of revenue for construction and installation projects included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of customer, regulatory or other delays regulatory factorsor cancellations, including from the potential adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity, and/or other project-related factors. These changes could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. In the past, we haveWe occasionally experiencedexperience postponements, cancellations and reductions in expected future work from master service agreements and/or construction projects due to changes in our customers’ spending plans, as well as on construction projects due to market volatility, andchanges in governmental permitting, regulatory delays and/or other factors. There can be no assurance as to our customers’ requirements or if actual results will be consistent with the accuracy ofestimates included in our estimates.forecasts. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings.
Subsequent to September 30, 2017, we were granted a large pipeline construction project award with an expected contract value of over $1.5 billion, which is expected to be reflected in backlog at year-end 2017.
Backlog is not a term recognized under U.S. GAAP; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not, however, be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Backlog differs from the amount of our remaining performance obligations, which are described in Note 1 -
24


Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference. As of March 31, 2021, total 18-month backlog differed from the amount of our remaining performance obligations due primarily to the inclusion of $3.2 billion of estimated future revenue under master service and other service agreements within our backlog estimates, as described above, and the exclusion of approximately $0.4 billion of remaining performance obligations and estimated future revenue under master service and other service agreements in excess of 18 months, which amount is not included in the backlog estimates above. Backlog expected to be realized in 2021 differed from the amount of remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized for the same period due primarily to the inclusion of approximately $1.2 billion of estimated future revenue under master service and other service agreements that is included within the related backlog estimate.
Economic, Industry and Market Factors
WeIn addition to the effects of the pandemic noted above, we closely monitor the effects thatof changes in economic and market conditions may have on our customers. GeneralChanges in general economic and market conditions can negatively affect demand for our customers’ products and services, which can lead to rationalization ofaffect our customers’ planned capital and maintenance budgets in certain end-markets. FluctuationsMarket, regulatory and industry factors could affect demand for our services, or the cost to provide such services, including (i) changes to our customers’ capital spending plans, including any potential effects from public health issues, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) new or changing regulatory requirements, governmental policy changes, and customer or industry initiatives, including with respect to climate change, sustainability and related environmental concerns, and/or from changes in governmental permitting; (iii) economic, political or other market developments or uncertainty, including access to capital for customers in the industries we serve; (iv) changes in technology, tax and other incentives; and (v) mergers and acquisitions among the customers we serve. Changes in demand for, and/or fluctuations in market prices for oil, gas and other fuel sources, and availability of transportation and transmission capacity can also affect demand for our services, in particular, on pipeline and powerenergy generation construction services.projects. These fluctuations, as well as the highly competitive nature of our industry, can result and in the past, have resulted, in lower bidslevels of activity and lower profit on the services we provide. In the face of increased pricing pressure or other market developments, we strive to maintain our profit margins through productivity improvements, and cost reduction programs. Other market, regulatory and industry factors, such as (i) changes to our customers’ capital spending plans; (ii) mergers and acquisitions among the customers we serve; (iii) access to capital for customers in the industries we serve; (iv) new programs and/or changing regulatory requirements or other governmental policy uncertainty; (v) economic, market or political developments; and (vi) changes in technology, tax and other incentives could also increase or reduce demand for our services.business streamlining efforts. While we actively monitor economic, industry and market factors that could affect our business, we cannot predict the effect that changes in such factors may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, and we may be unable to fully mitigate, or benefit from, such changes.
ImpactEffect of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of Business
Our revenue and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations. These variations are influenced by weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project schedules, andpublic health matters, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, holidays and/or timing, in particular, for large non-recurring projects and holidays.projects. Typically, our revenue is lowest inat the first quarterbeginning of the year and during the winter months because cold, snowy or wet conditions cause project delays. Revenue is generally higher during the summer and fall months due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the second quarter is typically higher thanregions in the first quarter, as some projects begin,which we operate, but continued cold and wet weather can often impactaffect second quarter productivity. The third and fourth quarters are typically the most productive quarters of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and weather is normally more accommodating to construction projects. In the fourth quarter, many projects tend to be completed by customers seeking to spend their capital budgets before the end of the year, which generally has a positive impacteffect on our revenue. However, the holiday season and inclement weather can cause delays, which can reduce revenue and increase costs on affected projects. Any quarter may be positively or negatively affected by adverse or unusual weather patterns, including warm winter weather, excessive rainfall, flooding or natural catastrophes such as hurricanes or other severe weather, making it difficult to predict quarterly revenue and margin variations.
Additionally, our industry can be highly cyclical. Fluctuations in end-user demand within the industries we serve, or in the supply of services within those industries, can impactaffect demand for our services. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects. Variations in project schedules or unanticipated changes in project schedules, in particular, in connection with large construction and installation projects, can create fluctuations in revenue, which may adversely affect us in a given period,quarter, even if not in total.for the full year. In addition, revenue from master service and other service agreements, while generally predictable, can be subject to volatility. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; variations in project margins; regional, national and global economic, political and market conditions; regulatory or environmental influences; and acquisitions, dispositions or strategic investments/other arrangements can also materially affect quarterly results in a given period. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could also result in greater seasonal and cyclical volatility than would otherwise exist under normal conditions.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.


We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the resultspotential effects of whichthe COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and other relevant global and/or macroeconomic trends and events. These estimates form the basis offor making judgments about our operating results, including the results of percentage-of-completion projects,construction contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method, and the carrying values of assets and liabilities, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Given that management estimates, by their nature, involve judgments regarding future uncertainties, actual results maycould differ materially from these estimates if conditions change or if certain key assumptions used in making these estimates ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Our accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Refer to Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference, and to our 2016 Form 10-K for discussion of our significant accounting policies. During the third quarter of 2017, we performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill and an indefinite-lived pre-qualification intangible asset associated with certain of our operating segments in conjunction with our quarterly review of reporting units for indicators of impairment. Based on the results of these assessments, we determined that the estimated fair value of our Electrical Transmission operating segment exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%, and that the fair values of two of our reporting units and the indefinite-lived pre-qualification intangible asset in our Oil and Gas segment, for which the carrying values totaled approximately $130 million, exceeded their carrying values by approximately 10% for each. Significant changes in assumptions or estimates, such as a reduction in profitability and/or cash flows, could result in non-cash goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges in the future.
We believe that our accounting estimates pertaining to: the recognition of revenue recognition for percentage-of-completion projects, includingand project profit or loss, which we define as project revenue, less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation; allowancesdepreciation, in particular, on construction contracts accounted for doubtful accounts;under the cost-to-cost method, for which the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to complete and the amount and probability of variable consideration included in the contract transaction price; fair value estimates, including those related to business acquisitions, valuations of goodwill, indefinite-lived

intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets; estimated liabilities for future earn-out obligations; fair values of financial instruments;acquisition-related contingent consideration; equity investments; income taxes; self-insurance liabilities; and litigation and other contingencies, are the most critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require significant or complex judgment and estimates on the part of management. Actual results could, however, vary materially from these accounting estimates.
Refer to Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference, and to our 2020 Form 10-K for discussion of our significant accounting policies, and refer to Note 3 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference, for details of our first quarter 2021 quarterly review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment.

The decrease in organic revenue was driven primarily by lower levels of renewable power project activity and timing.
Other Segment. Other segment revenue totaled $11 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $8 million for the same period in 2016,2020, an increase of approximately $3$5 million, or 40%4%, driven primarily by increaseddue to higher levels of activity from our oil and gas operations in Mexico, offset by a decrease in revenue from a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture.project activity.
Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $357approximately $288 million, or 26%23%, to $1,726$1,514 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $1,369March 31, 2021 from $1,226 million for the same period in 2016.2020. Higher levels of revenue contributed $319 million of an increase of $311 million in costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, whereas decreasedand improved productivity resulted in an increasecontributed a decrease of approximately $38$23 million. Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of revenue increaseddecreased by approximately 200130 basis points, from 86.3%86.6% of revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2020 to 88.3%85.3% of revenue for the same period in 2017. The basis point increase was driven by reduced2021, including from the effects of project efficiencies, close-outs and mix in certain of our Oil and Gas segment, offset, in part, by improved project efficiencies and mix in our Communications, Electrical Transmission and Power Generation and Industrial segments. Additionally, costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, improved in our Other segment for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016 due to a reduction in project losses on a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture, which totaled $0.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with $5 million in the prior year period. This project, which is managed by a third party and for which we have minimal direct construction involvement, has experienced delays, which has extended the timeline and resulted in project losses.

Revenue. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, consolidated revenue increased to $5,004 million from $3,793 million, an increase of $1,211 million, or 32%, as compared with the same period in 2016. Oil and Gas revenue increased by $1,303 million, or 90%, Communications revenue increased by $34 million, or 2%, whereas Power Generation and Industrial revenue decreased by $121 million, or 37%, Electrical Transmission revenue decreased by $6 million, or 2%, and Other segment revenue decreased by $1 million, or 4%. Organic revenueMarch 31, 2021 increased by approximately $1,115$9 million or 29%, and acquisitions contributed $96 million in revenue.
Communications Segment. Communications revenue was $1,762 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $1,728 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of $34 million, or 2%. Acquisitions contributed $71 million of revenue, which was offset by a decrease in organic revenue of $37 million. The decrease in organic revenue was primarily driven by lower levels of install-to-the-home and customer fulfillment revenue in 2017, as previously disclosed.
Oil and Gas Segment. Oil and Gas revenue was $2,757 million for nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $1,454 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of $1,303 million, or 90%. The increase in Oil and Gas revenue was driven primarily by an increase in multiple large long-haul pipeline construction projects.
Electrical Transmission Segment. Electrical Transmission revenue was $277 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $284 million for the same period in 2016, a decrease of $6 million, or 2%, due primarily to project activity and timing.
Power Generation and Industrial Segment. Power Generation and Industrial revenue was $204 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $325 million for the same period in 2016, a decrease of $121 million, or 37%. Acquisitions contributed $25 million of revenue, which was offset by a decrease in organic revenue of $145 million. The decrease in organic revenue was driven primarily by lower levels of renewable power project activity and timing.
Other Segment. Other segment revenue totaled $14 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $15 million for the same period in 2016, a decrease of approximately $1 million, or 4%, driven by a reduction in revenue from a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture, offset, in part, by increased levels of activity from our oil and gas operations in Mexico.
Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $1,002 million, or 30%, to $4,324 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $3,322 million for the same period in 2016. Higher revenue contributed $1,061 million of an increase in costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, whereas improved productivity resulted in a decrease of approximately $59 million. Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of revenue decreased by approximately 120 basis points, from 87.6% of revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 to 86.4% of revenue for the same period in 2017. This basis point improvement was driven primarily by our Electrical Transmission and Power Generation and Industrial segments, which benefited from improved project efficiencies, close-outs and mix, as well as the non-recurrence of certain first quarter 2016 project losses. These improvements were offset, in part, by reduced project efficiencies and mix in our Oil and Gas and Communications segments. Additionally, project losses on a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture in our Other segment totaled $7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with $5 million for the same period in the prior year.

Acquisitions contributed $6 million of incremental depreciation and amortization for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately 50 basis points, due primarily to higher levels of revenue.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $202 million, or 4.0% of revenue, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $195 million, or 5.1% of revenue, for the same period in 2016, an increase of $7 million, or 4%. Acquisitions contributed $10 million of incremental general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, whereas general and administrative expenses for the same period in the prior year included certain restructuring charges of approximately $11 million related to our efforts to streamline our western Canadian oil and gas and our electrical transmission operations, which efforts were substantially completed in 2016. Excluding the effects of the above mentioned items, various administrative expenses increased by approximately $8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, driven primarily by costs related to the timing of legal matters and other settlements as well as costs associated with growth initiatives. Overall, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue improved 110 basis points as compared with the same period in the prior year, due primarily to improvements in overhead cost utilization from higher levelsthe effects of revenue.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $45 million, or 0.9% of revenue, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with $38 million, or 1.0% of revenue, in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher levels of financing costs, including discount charges on financing arrangements, as well as an increase in interest expense on our Credit Facility for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated affiliates includes our share of income or losses from equity investees. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates was $15 million, and related primarily to our investments in the Waha JVs, which commenced operations in 2017. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $4 million and related to expected recoveries from our interests in certain pre-acquisition equity method investments of Pacer, of which the remaining investment as of September 30, 2017 is in the final stages of liquidation and is being managed by a receiver.

Other income, net. Other income, net, consists primarily of gains or losses from sales of, or changes in estimated recoveries from, assets and investments, certain legal/other settlements, gains or losses from changes to estimated earn-out accruals, and certain restructuring charges related to losses on disposal of excess fixed assets. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, other income, net, was $4 million. Other income, net, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 included $12 million of expenses related to changes in expected recovery amounts for an investment that is in the final stages of liquidation, as well as reduced recovery expectations on a long-term note receivable due to recent bankruptcy proceedings for a former customer, offset by $12 million of income from changes to estimated earn-out accruals. Other income, net, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 totaled $13 million, and included approximately $10 million related to a settlement in connection with a previously acquired business, $3 million of restructuring charges related to estimated losses on the planned disposal of fixed assets held-for-sale and $3 million of income from changes to estimated earn-out accruals. Gains on sales of equipment, net, totaled approximately $4 million and $3 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we had pre-tax income of $314 million as compared with $132 million for the same period in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased versus the same period in 2016, primarily due to tax credits that were recognized during the third quarter of 2017, offset by the effect of losses in foreign jurisdictions.
Analysis of EBITDA by Segment
Communications Segment. EBITDA for our Communications segment was $173 million, or 9.8% of revenue, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $191 million, or 11.0% of revenue, for the same period in 2016, a decrease of approximately $18 million, or 9%. This decrease was primarily due to: (i) the non-recurrence of a first quarter 2016 gain from a settlement in connection with a previously acquired business; (ii) production inefficiencies; (iii) certain other expense reduction efforts, as well as timing of legal and settlement matters and other settlements; (iv) offset, in part, by a benefit from higher revenue.
Oil and Gas Segment. EBITDA for our Oil and Gas segment was $356 million, or 12.9% of revenue, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $188 million, or 12.9% of revenue, for the same period in 2016, an increase of $168 million, or approximately 90%, driven primarily by higher revenue.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
As appropriate, we supplement our reported U.S. GAAP financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). In addition, we have presented “Adjusted, adjusted EBITDA” as well as (“Adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted net income (“Adjusted Net Income”) and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share”). TheThese “adjusted” non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude, as applicable to the particular periods, non-cash stock-based compensation expense certain restructuring charges, project results, which for the periods presented, were losses, from a proportionately consolidated non-controlled Canadian joint venture that was underway when we acquired Pacer in 2014, and whose sole activity involves the construction of a bridge, a business in which we do not otherwise engage, is managed by a third party, and for which we have minimal direct construction involvement and automatically terminates upon completion of the project, and charges or recoveries from multi-employer pension plan withdrawals, and, for Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, amortization of intangible assets and the tax effects of the adjusted items, including non-cash stock based compensation. Thestock-based compensation expense and the effects of changes in statutory tax rates. These definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA above are not the same as in our Credit Facility or in the indenture governing our senior notes; therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this discussion should not be used for purposes of determining our compliance with the covenants contained in our debt instruments.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry, and,industry. We believe that these adjusted measures provide a baseline for non-cashanalyzing trends in our underlying business. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense can also be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our common stock or variations in the value and number of shares granted. Additionally, thesegranted, and amortization of intangible assets is subject to acquisition activity, which varies from period to period. We exclude intangible asset amortization from our adjusted measures provide a baseline for analyzing trendsdue to its non-operational nature and inherent volatility, as acquisition activity varies from period to period. We also believe this presentation is common practice in our underlying business.industry and improves comparability of our results with those of our peers, although each company’s definitions of these adjusted measures may vary as they are not standardized and should be used in light of the provided reconciliations.
We believe that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income or diluted earnings per share, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our U.S. GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Represents the tax effect of the adjusted items that are subject to tax, including the tax effects of share-based compensation expense. Tax effects are determined based on the tax treatment of the related items, the incremental statutory tax rate of the jurisdictions pertaining to each adjustment, and taking into consideration their effect on pre-tax income. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, our consolidated effective tax rate, as reported, was 40%, and as adjusted, was 39%. For the three and ninemonth periods ended September 30, 2016, our consolidated effective tax rate, as reported, was 41% for both, and as adjusted, was 39% and 40%, respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, availability under our Credit Facility and our cash balances. Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, capital expenditures, insurance and performance collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit, earn-out obligations, cost and equity investeeinvestment funding requirements, debt service and income taxes and share repurchase programs.taxes. We also evaluate opportunities for strategic acquisitions, investments and investmentsother arrangements from time to time, and we may consider opportunities to borrow additional funds, which may include borrowings under our Credit Facility or debt issuances, or to repurchase, refinance or retire outstanding debt, or repurchase additional shares of our outstanding common stock in the future under share repurchase authorizations, any of which may require our use of cash.
Capital Expenditures. For the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we spent $83approximately $48 million on capital expenditures, or $70$42 million, net of asset disposals, and incurred approximately $131$51 million of equipment purchases under capital lease and other financing arrangements.finance leases. We estimate that we will spend approximately $105$150 million on capital expenditures, or approximately $90$100 million, net of asset disposals, in 2017,2021, and expect to incur approximately $155$180 million to $200 million of equipment purchases under capital lease or other financing arrangements.finance leases. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease in the future depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment lease versus buy decisions based on short and long-term equipment requirements.
Acquisitions and Acquisition-Related Contingent ConsiderationEarn-out Liabilities. We typically utilize cash for ourbusiness acquisitions and other strategic acquisitions of other businesses,arrangements, and for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we used $116$89 million of cash for this purpose. In addition, in most of our acquisitions, we have agreed to make future earn-out payments to the sellers whichthat are contingent upon the future earnings performance of the acquired businesses. Certain earn-outbusinesses, which we also refer to as “Earn-out” payments. Earn-out payments may be paid in either cash or, under specific circumstances, MasTec common stock, or a combination thereof, at our option. Potential future earn-out obligations are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings as a component of other income or expense. The estimated total value of earn-out obligations recorded asfuture Earn-out liabilities as of September 30,


2017March 31, 2021 was approximately $105$135 million. Of this amount, $15$56 million represents the liability for earn-out obligations that have been earned.earned amounts. The remainder approximately $90 million, is management’s estimate of potential earn-out obligationsEarn-out liabilities that are contingent upon future performance. There were no payments related to earn-out obligations forFor the three month periodperiods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and 2020, we made no Earn-out payments. In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisition of INTREN, LLC (“INTREN”), a premier specialty utility contractor, for approximately $420 million in cash plus an Earn-out, which is contingent upon INTREN’s results for the nine month periodyear ended September 30, 2017, we made payments of $19 million.December 31, 2021. See Note 3 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference.
Income Taxes. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, we made payments of $5 millionMarch 31, 2021 and $20 million, respectively, related to earn-out obligations.
Income Taxes. Tax2020, tax payments, net of tax refunds, and tax refunds, net of tax payments, respectively, were approximately $78 million and $15 million, respectively, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Taxde minimis. Our tax payments which are made quarterly, vary with changes in taxable income and earnings based on estimates of full year taxable income activity and estimated tax rates.
Working Capital. We need working capital to support seasonal variations in our business, primarily due to the effect of weather conditions on external construction and maintenance work and the spending patterns of our customers, both of which influence the timing of associated spending to support related customer demand. Working capital needs are generally higher during the summer and fall months due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate. Conversely, working capital needs are typically converted to cash during the winter months. These seasonal trends, however, can be offset by changes in the timing of projects, which can be affected by project delays or accelerations and/or other factors that may affect customer spending.
Working capital requirements also tend to increase when we commence multiple projects or particularly large projects because labor, including subcontractor costs, and certain other costs, including inventory, become payable before the receivables resulting from work performed are collected. The timing of billing milestonesbillings and project close-outs can contribute to changes in unbilled revenue. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we expect that

substantially all of our CIEBunbilled receivables will be billed to customers in the normal course of business within the next 12twelve months. AccountsTotal accounts receivable, balances, which consistconsists of contract billings, as well as CIEBunbilled receivables and retainage, increased to $1.5net of allowance, was generally flat at approximately $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2017 from $1.2 billion as ofboth March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016 due to higher levels of quarterly revenue, as well as the ramp-up of various projects, primarily in our oil and gas business.2020.
Our payment billing terms are generally net 30 days, and some of our contracts allow our customers to retain a portion of the contract amount (generally, from 5% to 10% of billings) until the job is completed. As part of our ongoing working capital management practices, we evaluate opportunities to improve our working capital cycle time through contractual provisions and certain financing arrangements. For certain customers, we maintain inventory to meet the materials requirements of the contracts. Occasionally, certain of our customers pay us in advance for a portion of the materials we purchase for their projects or allow us to pre-bill them for materials purchases up to specified amounts. Vendor terms are generally 30 days. Our agreements with subcontractors often contain a “pay-if-paid” provision, whereby our payments to subcontractors are made only after we are paid by our customers.
Summary of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
WeIncluding our current assessment of the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and capital resource requirements, we anticipate that funds generated from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, debt service obligations, insurance and performance collateral requirements, letter of credit needs, earn-out obligations, required income tax payments, acquisition, strategic arrangement and other investment funding requirements, share repurchase activity and other liquidity needs for at least the next 12twelve months.
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had $746approximately $918 million in working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, as compared with $562$944 million as of December 31, 2016, an increase of approximately $183 million. Total cash2020.

Operating Activities. Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by changes in the timing of demand for our services and operating margins, but can also be affected by working capital needs associated with the various types of services we provide. Working capital is affected by changes in total accounts receivable, CIEB,prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and payroll tax payments, including the effect of deferrals from COVID-19 relief provisions, accrued expenses and BIEC,contract liabilities, all of which tend to be related. These working capital items are affected by changes in revenue resulting from both the timing and the volume of work performed, by variability in the timing of customer billings and collections of receivables, as well as settlement of payables and other obligations. Net cash provided by operating activities for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 was $179$257 million, as compared with approximately $127$203 million of netfor the same period in 2020, for an increase in cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2016.of approximately $54 million. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was driven byprimarily due to an increase in net income, of $110 million duecoupled with increases in certain non-cash adjustments to growthreconcile net income to operating cash flows, including depreciation expense. These increases were offset, in revenue and an increase inpart, by the effect of non-cash adjustments of $107 million, partially offset by a decrease in the effect of networking capital-related changes in assets and liabilities, of $165 million.net.


Our days sales outstanding, (“DSO”), net of BIEC,contract liabilities (“DSO”) was 6780 as of September 30, 2017, as compared with 68March 31, 2021 and 86 as of December 31, 2016 and 61 as of September 30, 2016.2020. DSO net of BIEC, is calculated as total accounts receivable, net of allowance, less BIEC,contract liabilities, divided by average daily revenue for the most recently completed quarter as of the balance sheet date. Our DSOs can fluctuate from period to period due to the timing of billings, billing terms, collections and settlements, timing of project close-outs and retainage collections, changes in project and customer mix and the effect of working capital initiatives. The decrease in our DSOs for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was due to timing of ordinary course billing and collection activities. Other than matters subject to litigation, we do not anticipate material collection issues related to our outstanding accounts receivable balances, nor do we believe that we have material amounts due from customers experiencing financial difficulties. WeBased on current information, we expect to collect substantially all of our outstanding accounts receivable net,balances within the next twelve months.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $155approximately $76 million to $249$135 million for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 from $94$59 million for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2016. ForMarch 31, 2020. Cash paid for acquisitions, net, increased by approximately $89 million for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017, payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaled $116 million due to our 2017 acquisitions, an increase of $112 millionMarch 31, 2021 as compared with the same period in 2016.

For the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with $8 million for the same period in 2016, representing an increase in cash used in investing activities of approximately $56 million. Payments for other investments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 related to our equity investment in the Waha JVs, for which we have $19 million in letters of credit issued as collateral as of September 30, 2017, as described in Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments in the notes to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference. Proceeds from other investments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 related to recoveries from an equity method investment that is in the final stages of liquidation and is being managed by a receiver. Additionally, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we spent $83$48 million on capital expenditures, or $70$42 million, net of asset disposals, as compared with capital expenditures,$61 million, or $52 million, net of asset disposals, of $82 million for the same period in the prior year,2020, for a decrease in cash used in investing activities of approximately $10 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
We have a senior secured credit facility that we refer to as our(the “Credit Facility,” which was amended and restated in February 2017. As ofFacility”) maturing on September 30, 2017,19, 2024. Aggregate borrowing commitments under the Credit Facility has aggregate borrowing commitments of approximately $1.5total $1.75 billion, composed of $1.1$1.35 billion of revolving commitments and an outstandinga term loan totaling $400 million in the aggregateoriginal principal amount, of $400 million.which $395 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are used for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes, including investments in equity or other investees, potential acquisitions or other strategic arrangements, equity investments, share repurchases and the repurchase or prepayment of indebtedness.
We are dependent upon borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Facility to fund our operations. Should we be unable to comply with the terms and conditions of theour Credit Facility, we would be required to obtain modifications to the Credit Facility or obtain an alternative source of financing to continue to operate, neither of which may be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The Credit Facility is subject to certain provisions and covenants, as more fully described in Note 7 - Debt in the notes to the condensed unauditedaudited consolidated financial statements which is incorporated by reference.included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with non-cancelable operating leaseswith durations of less than twelve months, letter of credit obligations, surety and performance and payment bonds entered into in the normal course of business, self-insurance liabilities, liabilities associated with multiemployer pension plans, liabilities associated with certain indemnification and guarantee arrangements and obligations relating to our costequity and equity investees,other investment arrangements, including our


variable interest entities. Refer to Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies, Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 15 - Related Party Transactions in the notes to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are incorporated by reference.
Impact of Inflation
The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are labor and fuel costs, and to a lesser extent, material costs. In times of low unemployment, our labor costs may increase due to shortages in the supply of skilled labor. Additionally, the prices of oil and gas are subject to unexpected fluctuations due to events outside of our control, including geopolitical events, the effects of climate change and fluctuations in global supply and demand, which have recently caused volatility in the oil and gas markets. We closely monitor inflationary factors and any impact they may have on our business operations, operating results or financial condition.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facility. Interest on outstanding revolving loans and our Term Loanterm loan under our Credit Facility accrues at variable rates based, at our option, on a Eurocurrency rate, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus a margin, or a base rate, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus a margin. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had $301$45 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 2.96%1.77% and a term loan with a balance of $400$395 million with an interest rate of 2.86%1.36%. A 100 basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under our credit facilities would have increased our interest expense by approximately $5$1 million for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, our fixed interest rate debt primarily included $400$600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875%4.50% Senior Notes and an aggregate $187$303 million of capitalfinance lease obligations, and notes payable, which accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4% as of September 30, 2017.3.7%. None of this debt subjects us to interest rate risk, but we may be subject to changes in interest rates if and when we refinance this debt at maturity or otherwise.
Foreign Currency Risk
Certain of our consolidated revenue and operating expenses are in foreign currencies. Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada. Revenue generated from foreign operations represented 3% of our total revenue for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021. Revenue and expense related to our foreign operations are, for the most part, denominated in the functional currency of the foreign operation, which minimizes the impact that fluctuations in exchange rates would have on net income or loss. We are, however, subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
32


rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies.currencies and for our foreign operations with a functional currency other than the local currency. Such transactions wereactivity was not material to our operations for the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021. Translation gains or losses, which are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss, result from translation of the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, foreign currency translation effects totaled approximately $0.6 million and $2.4 million of gains, respectively, and related primarily to our Canadian operations.
Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could increase in the future if we continue to expand our operations outside of the United States. We seek to manage foreign currency exposure by minimizing our consolidated net asset and liability positions in currencies other than the functional currency, which exposure was not significant to our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021. We may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts in the future to manage such exposure.

Other Market Risk
As discussed in Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments in the notes to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference, we have certain investments that may be subject to market risk and could be subject to volatility based on market conditions.
