The combined organization represents the largest infrastructure company in the U.S that is founded and majority owned by minorities and women.

INTREN was founded in 1988 by current Chair Loretta Rosenmayer, and now has more than 2,000 employees and operations in 14 states. MasTec, founded in 1994 by Jorge Mas, the Cuban immigrant father of current CEO Jose Mas, has about 20,000 employees in North America and is the second largest Hispanic-owned American company.

Mas说：“作为该国最大的女性实用专业承包商，我一直对Intren的管理和企业家精神的质量印象深刻。”爱德华兹说：“ Intren和Mastec具有相同的质量，安全性，创新和包容性文化，并强调了我们的创始人所相信的价值观。”

Jamie Cook, lead construction sector research analyst at Credit Suisse, said the purchase "basically doubles" MasTec's current electric transmission business. In the past decade, INTREN has seen major revenue growth, "with over 90% of its business generated by master service agreements at double digit EBITDA margins," she said.

Growth Prospects

In first-quarter results released May 6, MasTec reported revenue of $1.7 billion as of March 31, up 25.3% from the same quarter last year, and 10% above Wall Street estimates, with oil and gas work still a strong driver. Adjusted margin of 11.5% was up from 8.3% last year.

Electrical transmission revenue rose 4.2%, but said Cook, "margins underwhelmed at 2.7%." Revenue from clean energy and infrastructure increased 22.4%, with margins at 3.1%. “A solid quarter but investors will want to see margin improvement from markets outside of oil and gas,” said Cook.

Mastec, which eyes becoming a $10-billion company, raised its fiscal 2021 revenue estimate to $8.2 billion, with the firm telling investors it expects sales from transmission work to make up $1.2 billion of the forecast $1.9-billion increase, "with sizable growth opportunities for 2022 and beyond." The firm projected $2.1 billion in second-quarter revenue.

Mastecstock price was up about 1.5% at trading close on May 6 to $109.35.
