However, net cash used in financing activities rose sharply to $(916.5) million, compared to $(181.6) million in 2023, primarily due to increased repayments of credit facilities and term loans.
Overall, MasTec's financial performance in 2024 reflects a recovery in profitability and strategic growth through acquisitions, despite some challenges in specific segments.
