QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

First Quarter Consolidated Revenues of $2.7 Billion and Record First Quarter Electric Power Revenues

Record First Quarter Electric Power Operating Income

First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.62 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.83

Remaining Performance Obligations of $4.1 Billion and Record Total Backlog of $15.8 Billion

HOUSTON – May 6, 2021 - Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Revenues in the first quarter of 2021 were $2.70 billion compared to revenues of $2.76 billion in the first quarter of 2020, and net income attributable to common stock was $89.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $38.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.83 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $0.47 for the first quarter of 2020.

“Quanta is off to a solid start for the year, with continued strong performance and safe execution from our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment and better than expected profitability from our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment. Based on this performance and continued confidence in our ability to safely execute, we are increasing our full-year financial expectations,” said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services.

“Our strategic focus on enhancing our front-end capabilities allows us to provide industry leading solutions to our customers and increases our total addressable market and growth opportunities. Spending by utilities on grid modernization, system hardening and renewable generation integration and spending by communications providers on broadband and 5G network deployment are driving strong demand for our services, as evidenced by our record backlog of $15.8 billion. These dynamics continue to enhance our near-term visibility and are expected to be meaningful drivers of our growth going forward, and, when coupled with increasing movement toward a carbon-neutral economy, incrementally increase our growth opportunities.”

Certain items that impacted the first quarter of 2021 results are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta’s adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock and are further described in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed one acquisition during the first three months of 2021 and seven acquisitions during the full year 2020. Therefore, Quanta’s results include the results of the acquired businesses from their respective acquisition dates. For further information on the items that impacted comparability of 2021 and 2020, see the footnotes to the Supplemental Segment Data table and the non-GAAP reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock in the accompanying tables.

FULL-YEAR 2021 OUTLOOK

The long-term outlook for Quanta’s business is positive. However, weather, regulatory, permitting, project timing, execution challenges and other factors have impacted the company’s historical results, and may impact Quanta’s future financial results. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted certain of Quanta’s operations and various markets where Quanta operates, which has created additional uncertainty. Therefore, Quanta’s financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management’s effort to align these uncertainties with the backlog the company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during the remainder of 2021.

Prior to the company’s conference call, management will post a summary of updated 2021 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the “News and Events” and “Financial Info” areas of the Investor Relations section of Quanta’s website at http://investors.quantaservices.com.

The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. Quanta now expects revenues to be between $12.05 billion and $12.35 billion, net income attributable to common stock to be between $469 million and $533 million, diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to be between $3.25 and $3.69 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) to be between $4.12 and $4.57 for 2021. EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is now expected to be between $1.02 billion and $1.11 billion for 2021 and adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is now expected to be between $1.10 billion and $1.20 billion for 2021. Additionally, Quanta’s full-year 2021 free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) expectations are between $400 million and $600 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The financial measures not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) that are utilized in this press release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Quanta’s performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing Quanta’s operating results with those of its competitors. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Backlog (a non-GAAP measure)

Quanta’s remaining performance obligations represent management’s estimate of consolidated revenues that are expected to be realized from the remaining portion of firm orders for fixed price contracts not yet completed or for which work has not yet begun. For purposes of calculating remaining performance obligations, Quanta includes all estimated revenues attributable to consolidated joint ventures and variable interest entities, revenues from funded and unfunded portions of government contracts to the extent they are reasonably expected to occur and revenues from change orders to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection.

While backlog is not a defined term under GAAP, it is a common measurement used in Quanta’s industry. Quanta believes this non-GAAP measure enables it to more effectively forecast its future results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. Quanta’s remaining performance obligations, as described above, are a component of Quanta’s backlog calculation, which also includes estimated orders under master service agreements (MSAs), including estimated renewals, and non-fixed price contracts expected to be completed within one year. Quanta’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.

The following table reconciles Quanta’s total remaining performance obligations to its backlog by reportable segment along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months:

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Attributable to Common Stock

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, 2021 and 2020

(In thousands, except per share information)

(Unaudited)

  

The following table presents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, which, when used in connection with diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta’s performance. Management believes that the exclusion of certain items from net income attributable to common stock enables it to more effectively evaluate Quanta’s operations period over period and better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. As to certain of the items below, (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense may vary due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) amortization of intangible assets is impacted by Quanta’s acquisition activity, and therefore can vary from period to period; (iii) acquisition and integration costs vary period to period depending on the level of Quanta’s acquisition activity, (iv) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses; and (v) impairments of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates vary from period to period depending on various market factors outside Quanta’s influence or control. Because adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, as defined, excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock as presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.

(a)

The amount for the three months ended March 31, 2020 represents an impairment associated with a non-integral unconsolidated affiliate that was negatively impacted by the decline in demand for refined products during the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, Quanta’s basis in this investment was $7.6 million. This impairment loss is included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(b)

The income tax impact of adjustments that are subject to tax is determined using the incremental statutory tax rates of the jurisdictions to which each adjustment relates for the respective periods.

The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, which, when used in connection with net income attributable to common stock, are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta’s performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it to more effectively evaluate Quanta’s operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent when including the excluded items. However, these measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stock or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. As to certain of the items below, (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level of Quanta’s acquisition activity; (iii) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates, including gain or loss on sales of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting; and (iv) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock, such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow:

The non-GAAP measure of free cash flow, when used in connection with net cash provided by operating activities, is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta’s ability to generate the cash required to maintain and potentially expand its business. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and from insurance settlements related to property and equipment. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to Quanta’s investors because free cash flow is viewed by management as an important indicator of how much cash is provided or used by routine business operations, including the impact of net capital expenditures. Management uses this measure for capital allocation purposes as it is viewed as a measure of cash available to fund debt payments, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock, declare and pay dividends and transact other investing and financing activities. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.
