ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 2, 2017, Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), a leading provider of commercial and industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning services, posted to the Investor section of its Internet website (www.comfortsystemsusa.com) an investor presentation slideshow. The Company intends to use this slideshow in making presentations to analysts, potential investors, and other interested parties.
The information included in the investor presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Companys management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Companys performance. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Companys core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
The information in this Form 8-K being furnished under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements are based on the Companys expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks are discussed in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including an extensive discussion of these risks in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
A copy of the presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Comfort Systems USA Quality People. Building Solutions. May 2, 2017
Safe Harbor Certain statements and information in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 Companys 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 Companys expectations for future revenue and operating results are based on the Companys forecasts for its existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. The Companys forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Companys control) and assumptions that could cause actual future results to differ materially from the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the result of competition in the Companys markets; the Companys 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 HVAC 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; a cyber security breach; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Companys 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. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures Certain measures in this presentation are not measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). They should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures appearing in these slides are identified in the footnote. See the Appendices for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Appendix 18
Appendix I GAAP Reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA 19 Note: The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income (loss), excluding discontinued operations, income taxes, other (income) expense, net, changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, interest expense, net, gain on sale of assets, goodwill impairment and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entitys financial results, and accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company. Three Months Ended March 31, ($ in thousands) 2017 2016 Net Income $7,477 $9,841 Income Taxes 3,892 5,402 Other (Income) Expense, net (18) (486) Changes in the Fair Value of Contingent Earn-out Obligations 26 - Interest Expense, net 379 700 Gain on Sale of Assets (154) (145) Goodwill Impairment 1,105 - Depreciation and Amortization 6,139 6,258 Adjusted EBITDA $18,846 $21,570
Appendix II GAAP Reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA (Historical) 20 Note: The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income (loss) including non-controlling interests, excluding discontinued operations, income taxes, other (income) expense, net, changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, interest (income) expense, net, loss (gain) on sale of assets, goodwill impairment and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entitys financial results, and accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company.

Appendix III Supplemental Non-GAAP Information (Historical) 21 Note 1: Operating results from continuing operations attributable to Comfort Systems USA, Inc., excluding goodwill impairment, changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, tax valuation allowances and out of period adjustment are presented because the Company believes it reflects the results of the core ongoing operations of the Company, and because we believe it is responsive to frequent questions we receive from third parties. However, this measure is not considered a primary measure of an entitys financial results under generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly, this amount should not be considered an alternative to operating results as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company. Note 2: Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Comfort Systems USA, Inc. is income (loss) from continuing operations less net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Note 3: The tax rate on these items was computed using the pro forma effective tax rate of the Company exclusive of these charges. Note 4: Correction of prior period accounting errors in 2013 resulted in net after-tax income of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Year Ended December 31, 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to Comfort Systems USA, Inc. $0.35 $0.73 $0.61 $1.30 $1.72 Goodwill Impairment - - 0.01 - - Changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out obligations (0.02) (0.04) - - (0.01) Tax valuation allowances - - (0.08) - - Out of period adjustment - (0.03) - - - Net income from continuing operations attributable to Comfort Systems USA, Inc. excluding goodwill impairment, changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, tax valuation allowances and out of period adjustment $0.33 $0.66 $0.54 $1.30 $1.71
