FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

Houston, TX — February 23, 2016 — Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (NYSE: FIX), a leading provider of mechanical services including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, piping and controls, today announced net income attributable to Comfort Systems USA of $13,221,000 or $0.35 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $10,682,000 or $0.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.  Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 included a benefit of $0.08 arising from reductions in tax valuation allowances. The Company reported revenue of $383,840,000 in the current quarter, as compared to $356,468,000 in 2014.  The Company reported free cash flow of $18,139,000 in the current quarter, as compared to $1,377,000 in 2014.  Backlog as of December 31, 2015 was $711,634,000 as compared to $666,332,000 as of September 30, 2015 and $757,804,000 as of December 31, 2014.

Brian Lane, Comfort Systems USA’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Today we are reporting record fourth quarter and full year results.  This extraordinary performance is a testament to the remarkable quality and execution of our workforce.  The investments that we made over the last few years have positioned us to prosper as the underlying fundamentals of our business environment have improved.”

The Company reported net income attributable to Comfort Systems USA for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $49,364,000 or $1.30 per diluted share as compared to $23,063,000 or $0.61 per diluted share, for 2014.  The Company also reported revenue of $1,580,519,000.  On a same-store basis, the Company reported revenue of $1,560,465,000 as compared to $1,410,795,000 in 2014.  Free cash flow for 2015 was $78,397,000 as compared to $24,724,000 in 2014.

Mr. Lane concluded, “Our greatest strength is our ability to generate free cash flow, and we have now experienced positive free cash for seventeen consecutive years.  In 2015 we generated over $78 million in free cash flow, a three-fold increase from 2014.  Reliable cash flow has allowed us to invest in substantial acquisitions and important growth initiatives while simultaneously returning cash to our stockholders through dividends and opportunistically retiring shares of stock.  Since we began our stock repurchase program in 2007, we have purchased over 6 million shares.  With a strong sequential increase to our backlog, and despite the risks facing our modestly improving U.S. economy, we are optimistic about our prospects in 2016 and beyond.”

The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historic in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) concerning future developments and their effect on the Company. While the Company’s management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it anticipates. All comments concerning the Company’s expectations for future revenue and operating results are based on the Company’s forecasts for its existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions that could cause actual future results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the use of incorrect estimates for bidding a fixed-price contract; undertaking contractual commitments that exceed the Company’s labor resources; failing to perform contractual obligations efficiently enough to maintain profitability; national or regional weakness in construction activity and economic conditions; financial difficulties affecting projects, vendors, customers, or subcontractors; the Company’s backlog failing to translate into actual revenue or profits; failure of third party subcontractors and suppliers to complete work as anticipated;  difficulty in obtaining or increased costs associated with bonding and insurance; impairment to goodwill; errors in the Company’s percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the result of competition in the Company’s markets; the Company’s decentralized management structure; material failure to comply with varying state and local laws, regulations or requirements; debarment from bidding on or performing government contracts; shortages of labor and specialty building materials; retention of key management; seasonal fluctuations in the demand for mechanical systems; the imposition of past and future liability from environmental, safety, and health regulations including the inherent risk associated with self-insurance; adverse litigation results; an increase in our effective tax rate; an information technology failure or cyber security breach; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ from its projected results, please see its filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
