Since the end of the third quarter, we have received significant amounts of project awards across multiple segments and expect that our year end 2017 backlog will be at record levels, exceeding $6 billion, with increasing demand and backlog growth across all of our segments."

George Pita, MasTec's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, "We are proud of our year-to-date performance, including strong cash flow from operations. Our capital structure and ample liquidity give us full financial flexibility to support the significant growth opportunities that exist across the multiple end markets we serve."
