(“MYR”) (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and western Canada, announced today its first-quarter 2020 financial results.\n Highlights First quarter revenues of $518.5 millionFirst-quarter net income attributable to MYR of $9.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted shareFirst-quarter EBITDA of $27.4 millionRecord backlog of $1.54 billion Management CommentsRick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “Our first-quarter 2020 financial results included $518.5 million of revenues, a 10.8 percent increase over the first quarter of 2019, and increases in gross profit, earnings per share, net income and EBITDA.
