QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS

Achieved Record Fourth Quarter and Annual Revenues
FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS
Achieved Record Fourth Quarter and Annual Revenues
HOUSTON
February 22, 2007 Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for
the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 were a record high of $592.0 million, compared to
revenues of $523.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. After recording a non-cash goodwill
impairment charge of $56.6 million, net of tax, or $0.46 per diluted share, the net loss for the
fourth quarter of 2006 was $30.5 million, or a loss per diluted share of $0.26, compared to net
income of $18.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.15 in the fourth quarter of 2005. For
the three months ended December 31, 2006, adjusted net income, excluding the non-cash goodwill
impairment charge, was $26.1 million or $0.20 per diluted share.
Revenues for the twelve months of 2006 were a record high of $2.13 billion, compared to $1.86
billion for the twelve months of 2005. For the twelve months of 2006, the company reported net
income of $17.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.15, compared to net income of $29.6
million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.25 for twelve months of 2005. For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006, adjusted net income, excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge,
was $74.1 million or $0.58 per diluted share. The adjusted net income and earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter and full year 2006 are
non-GAAP measures.
This was a year of strength for Quanta. For 2006, we achieved internal revenue growth of 15
percent, increased operating income by 94 percent excluding the goodwill impairment charge, and
reached record backlog for the third consecutive quarter, said John Colson, chairman and chief
executive officer of Quanta Services. This signifies the high demand for our services as the
industries we serve focus on enhancing and expanding infrastructure to meet the growing demand for
power and telecommunications services.

The non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 was
associated with one of the companys operating units that has historically served the cable TV
industry. This charge is a result of the annual impairment evaluation of the companys goodwill
balances as required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
The non-GAAP measures in this press release are provided to enable investors to evaluate
quarterly and annual performance excluding the effects of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge
that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
| Renewed Electric Utility Contract Quanta has obtained the renewal of a three-year contract valued at $80 million to $100 million per year, with an option for a two-year extension. Under the contract, Quanta will provide transmission and distribution new construction and maintenance services for the Pacific Northwest utility. |
| Supported Utilities in Restoration Efforts In late 2006 and early 2007, Quanta deployed workers to support efforts to restore power following wind and ice storms. These storms were most extreme in the Northwest and Central United States. In some areas of Nebraska, more than four inches of ice accumulated on power lines during the storms. |
| Secured Contracts with NPPD to Rebuild Infrastructure Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) has recently contracted with Quanta to rebuild eight sections of transmission line, totaling 172 miles, including the rebuilding or replacement of more than 600 structures. The transmission infrastructure was damaged by recent ice storms and is critical to the reliability and stability of NPPDs power delivery system. The majority of the work is expected to be completed before the 2007 summer peak load. | |
| Expanded Service Offering Through Acquisition In January 2007, Quanta completed the acquisition of Clearfield, Iowa-based Longfellow Drilling, Inc. (LDI). LDI is a specialized contractor in the installation of drilled pier foundations for a diversified customer base throughout the United States. The acquisition enhances Quantas in-house capabilities to install drilled pier foundations for electric transmission towers and wireless telecommunication towers. |

This press release contains forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe
harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to projected
revenues and earnings per share and other projections of financial and operating results, capital
expenditures, growth in particular markets, benefits of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, strategies
and plans, as well as statements reflecting expectations, intentions, assumptions or beliefs about
future events, and other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.
Although Quantas management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. These statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and by a variety of risks and
uncertainties that are difficult to predict or beyond our control, including, among others,
quarterly variations in operating results; adverse changes in economic conditions and trends in
relevant markets; the ability to effectively compete for market share; potential failure of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 to result in increased spending on the electrical power transmission
infrastructure; the ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions;
estimates and assumptions in determining financial results; the financial distress of Quantas
casualty insurance carrier that may require payment for losses that would otherwise be insured;
potential exposure to environmental liabilities; liabilities for claims that are self-insured or
for claims that Quantas casualty insurance carrier fails to pay; potential liabilities relating to
occupational health and safety matters; estimates relating to the use of percentage-of-completion
accounting; dependence on fixed price contracts and potential to incur losses with respect to these
contracts; beliefs and assumptions about the collectibility of receivables; the inability of
customers to pay for services; rapid technological and structural changes that could reduce the
demand for services; the ability to obtain performance bonds; cancellation provisions within
contracts and the risk that contracts are not renewed or are replaced on less favorable terms; the
ability to attract skilled labor and retention of key personnel and qualified employees; the impact
of a unionized workforce on operations and the ability to complete future acquisitions; potential
shortage of skilled employees; growth outpacing infrastructure; potential exposure to environmental
liabilities; risks associated with operating in international markets; requirements relating to
governmental regulation and changes thereto; the ability to continue to meet the requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; the cost of borrowing, availability of credit, debt covenant
compliance and other factors affecting financing activities; the ability to generate internal
growth; the adverse impact of goodwill impairments; the potential conversion of outstanding
convertible subordinated notes; and other risks detailed in Quantas Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2005, Quantas Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and any other reports of Quanta filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expressed or
implied in any forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which are current only as of this date. Quanta does not undertake and
expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
