Acquisition Expands EMCOR’s Electrical Capabilities Through a Suite of Complementary and Comprehensive, Mission-Critical Services, Increasing Presence in High Growth Sectors

EMCOR Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: EME) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Miller Electric Company (“Miller Electric”), a leading electrical contractor serving high growth areas across the Southeastern U.S., for $865 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The boards of directors of both companies unanimously approved the transaction.

Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, Miller Electric designs, installs, maintains, upgrades, and replaces complex electrical systems and related technologies across the Southeast. Miller Electric is a trusted partner to more than 1,000 clients across a broad array of industries, with a focus on high growth sectors including data centers, manufacturing, and healthcare. With a workforce of more than 3,500 highly skilled professionals and a scaled commercial electrical contractor platform with 21 branch locations, Miller Electric delivers expertise to its clients that extends beyond traditional electrical contracting into systems integration, repairs and maintenance, building automation, energy and sustainability solutions, and engineering services.

Miller Electric has a strong growth, margin, and free cash flow profile, with approximately 90% of the company’s revenues currently generated from Florida and the greater Southeastern U.S., where EMCOR has limited electrical construction presence today. EMCOR expects Miller Electric to generate approximately $805 million in revenue and approximately $80 million in Adjusted EBITDA in calendar year 2024. As of November 2024, Miller Electric had $755 million in remaining performance obligations.

“The team at Miller Electric has built a legacy of delivering high-quality solutions beyond traditional electrical contracting and staying ahead of industry trends through their commitment to innovation,” said Tony Guzzi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR. “Their service-first mindset, long-standing reputation of excellence, and forward-thinking approach have positioned Miller Electric as a leading non-residential electrical and technology contractor in the Southeastern United States.”

Mr. Guzzi added, “The addition of Miller Electric expands EMCOR’s electrical capabilities through their suite of comprehensive, mission-critical services and bolsters our already strong presence in high-growth areas including data centers, manufacturing, and healthcare. With a complementary geographic footprint, this transaction enables us to enhance our ‘local execution, national reach’ strategy as we broaden our overall construction services platform. Importantly, Miller Electric is also a great fit with our EMCOR Values and culture of operational excellence with their 97-year track record of safety and innovation.”

“The Miller Electric team has consistently demonstrated excellence within their end markets,” said Dan Fitzgibbons, President and CEO of EMCOR Electrical Construction Services. “By leveraging advanced technologies such as virtual design and construction, along with prefabrication techniques, they have a proven record of continually improving project efficiency and quality for their clients. Like EMCOR, Miller Electric not only enhances project execution, but also empowers their workforce through continuous development and training, sharing key methods and practices across the organization. I want to extend a warm welcome to the entire Miller Electric team and look forward to collaborating to drive the business forward.”

“For nearly a century, we have taken great pride in delivering innovative electrical solutions and building strong relationships with our clients and partners,” said Henry Brown, Chief Executive Officer at Miller Electric. “Joining forces with EMCOR will allow us to further enhance our services and offerings, leveraging additional resources to expand our reach and continue leading the way in serving our clients in the evolving energy and infrastructure landscape. We are confident EMCOR is the right partner for us, bringing a long-term approach and deep understanding of our business, culture, and values. EMCOR will allow us to reach our full potential as a company and create even more opportunities for our employees and the communities we serve. We look forward to continuing our growth for years to come as part of the EMCOR family of companies.”

Upon completion of the acquisition, Miller Electric will operate within EMCOR’s Electrical Construction Services segment under Dan Fitzgibbons, President and CEO of EMCOR Electrical Construction Services. Henry Brown will continue to serve as CEO of Miller Electric with the Miller Electric leadership team remaining in place. Miller Electric will remain headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
