Mr. Guzzi continued, "Our Electrical and Mechanical Construction segments continued to perform exceptionally well, driving our overall strong performance. With quarterly and year-to-date revenue growth of over 35%, our Mechanical Construction segment generated record revenues and operating income, and a record operating margin of 12.9% for the quarter and 11.8% on a year-to-date basis. Our Electrical Construction segment posted record revenues, with growth of 18% on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis and achieved a record second quarter operating margin, earning over 11% in both the quarter and year-to-date periods. We continue to perform exceptionally well against strong demand across the majority of the sectors we serve, including high-tech and traditional manufacturing, network and communications, institutional, and healthcare. Within our U.S. Building Services segment, which is executing as expected, our mechanical services business continued to deliver exceptional performance with high-single digit operating margins, and low-double digit revenue growth, as strong demand continues for our energy efficiency services, building controls installations and upgrades, and retrofit projects. Our Industrial Services segment reported its best second quarter post-pandemic as improved demand continued for both shop and field services."
