* = Record quarterly or record second quarter result

HOUSTON, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE:PWR) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were $5.59 billion compared to revenues of $5.05 billion in the second quarter of 2023, and net income attributable to common stock was $188.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $165.9 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $1.90 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1.65 for the second quarter of 2023.

"Quanta's first half of the year is a good start, with our second quarter results reflecting another quarter of double-digit growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, record total backlog of $31.3 billion and strong cash flow, which we believe reflects the power of our portfolio, sound execution and continued demand for our services, driven by our customers' multi-year programs to build the renewable generation and power grid infrastructure necessary to support North America's energy transition, load growth, security and reliability," said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services.

"We recently completed the acquisition of Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI), which provides a platform of new service lines and a dynamic customer base. CEI also brings an exceptional management team and a premier craft-skilled workforce that complements Quanta's culture and will create a comprehensive electrical infrastructure solution offering that we believe can facilitate innovative solutions between utilities and large power consumers – from electron generation to transmission to consumption. With the complexities of the power grid and the significant upgrades and enhancements required to facilitate load growth, our collaborative, solutions-based approach is valued by our clients more than ever. As a result of our solid year-to-date results and the addition of CEI, we are increasing our full-year 2024 financial expectations for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS."

Certain items that impacted Quanta's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta's adjusted net income attributable to common stock, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measures). These items are described in the accompanying tables reconciling adjusted net income attributable to common stock to net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed five acquisitions during the first six months of 2024 and five acquisitions during the full year 2023, and the results of the acquired businesses are included in Quanta's consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates. For further information on the items that impacted comparability of 2024 and 2023, see the footnotes in the accompanying tables presenting Supplemental Segment Data and reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (non-GAAP financial measures) to their comparable GAAP financial measures.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Completed the Acquisition of Cupertino Electric - In July 2024, Quanta completed the acquisition of CEI, a premier electrical infrastructure solutions provider to the technology, renewable energy and infrastructure and commercial industries. Founded in 1954 and headquartered in San Jose, California, CEI provides integrated turnkey solutions, including engineering, procurement, project management, construction and modularization services, to a high-quality and diverse customer base across the United States. Through its diverse geographic, customer, end market and service line portfolio, CEI has grown to become the sixth largest electrical solutions provider in the country, with a workforce of approximately 4,300 employees.
• Made Strategic Investment in TS Conductor - In June 2024, Quanta made a strategic minority investment in TS Conductor, a domestic manufacturer of high-performance conductors for transmission and distribution systems. TS Conductor's Aluminum Encapsulated Carbon Core technology is designed to enable double to triple the capacity of traditional power line conductor, lower line losses, and provide greater flexibility in both new build and reconductoring projects due to its design characteristics.

RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024

Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $10.63 billion compared to revenues of $9.48 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, and net income attributable to common stock was $306.5 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $260.9 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock was $3.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.88 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

FULL-YEAR 2024 OUTLOOK

The long-term outlook for Quanta's business is positive. However, weather, regulatory, permitting, supply chain challenges and other factors affecting project timing and execution have impacted, and may impact in the future, Quanta's financial results. Additionally, we continue to consider future uncertainty associated with overall challenges to the domestic and global economy, including inflation, increased interest rates and potential recessionary economic conditions. 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 2024.

Prior to the Company's conference call, management will post a summary of Quanta's updated 2024 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, as described below in Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements and Information. For the full year ending December 31, 2024, Quanta now expects revenues to range between $23.5 billion and $24.1 billion and net income attributable to common stock to range between $838 million and $921 million. Quanta also now expects diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $5.59 and $6.14 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $8.32 and $8.87. Quanta now expects EBITDA to range between $2.03 billion and $2.15 billion and adjusted EBITDA to range between $2.21 billion and $2.33 billion. Additionally, for the full year ending December 31, 2024, Quanta expects net cash attributable to operating activities to range between $1.75 billion and $2.18 billion and continues to expect free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.30 billion and $1.70 billion. Of note, our increased guidance for revenues, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share was attributable to the expected contributions from CEI, but otherwise our prior guidance for these financial metrics remains unchanged.

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, financial measures prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of the following non-GAAP financial measures for Quanta's current and historical results and full-year 2024 expectations (as applicable): adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock; adjusted net income attributable to common stock, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock; free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities; and backlog to remaining performance obligations.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Backlog (a non-GAAP financial 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 under fixed price contracts not yet completed or for which work has not yet begun, which includes 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 be realized, and revenues from change orders and claims to the extent management believes they will be earned and are probable of collection.

Quanta has also historically disclosed its backlog, a measure commonly used in its industry but not recognized under GAAP. Quanta believes this measure enables management to more effectively forecast its future capital needs and results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. Quanta believes this measure is also useful for investors in forecasting Quanta's future results and comparing Quanta to its competitors. Quanta's remaining performance obligations, as described above, are a component of its backlog calculation, which also includes estimated orders under master service agreements (MSAs), including estimated renewals, and certain non-fixed price contracts. 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 total backlog by reportable segment, along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months. The following table shows dollars in thousands.

The following table presents the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income attributable to common stock to net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. These reconciliations are 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 and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent due to, among other reasons, the variable nature of these items period over period. In addition, management believes these measures may be useful for investors in comparing our operating results with other companies that may be viewed as our peers. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stock and 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 in the table: (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) amortization of intangible assets and amortization included in equity in earnings are impacted by Quanta's acquisition activities and investments in integral unconsolidated affiliates, and therefore can vary from period to period; (iii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level and complexity of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iv) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on, among other things, the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses and the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations; (v) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; and (vi) gains and losses on the sales of investments and businesses vary from period to period depending on activity.

Because adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included in the table to follow.

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stock or other financial measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent due to, among other reasons, the variable nature of these items period over period. In addition, management believes these measures may be useful for investors in comparing our operating results with other companies that may be viewed as our peers.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow:

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. This reconciliation 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 and debt securities, 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.

Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent due to, among other reasons, the variable nature of these items period over period. In addition, management believes these measures may be useful for investors in comparing our operating results with other companies that may be viewed as our peers.

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 and complexity of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iii) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on, among other things, the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses and the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations; (iv) gains and losses on the sales of investments and businesses vary from period to period depending on activity; and (v) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta.

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. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included in the table to follow.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Estimated Free Cash Flow

For the Full Year 2024

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of estimated free cash flow to estimated net cash provided by operating activities for the full year ending December 31, 2024. This reconciliation is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's expectations regarding its 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 and debt securities, 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.
