FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMFORT SYSTEMS USA REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Houston, TX — May 1, 2013 — Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (NYSE: FIX), a leading provider of commercial, industrial and institutional heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) services, today announced net income attributable to Comfort Systems USA of $2,532,000 or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a net loss attributable to Comfort Systems USA of $1,029,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Brian Lane, Comfort Systems USA’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report to our stockholders a profitable first quarter providing a solid start to 2013.  Our operations displayed remarkable and broad-based strength in the midst of continued low activity levels, especially in light of the fact that the first quarter historically reflects seasonal weakness.”

The Company reported revenue of $325,890,000 in the current quarter as compared to $326,902,000 in 2012.  Following a very strong fourth quarter cash flow, the Company reported negative free cash flow of $13,382,000 in the current quarter, as compared to a negative $21,490,000 in 2012.  Backlog as of March 31, 2013 was $631,056,000 as compared to $617,951,000 as of December 31, 2012 and $620,306,000 as of March 31, 2012.

Mr. Lane concluded, “Although we are keenly aware of continuing industry challenges, our business is stable and we are preparing for the future.  Backlog increased this quarter and we continue to expect 2013 results that are similar to 2012.  We believe that we are positioned to grow as markets improve.”

Note 1:  The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests, 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, 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 entity’s 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.
