QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS 2018 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Record Second Quarter Revenues and Twelve Month Backlog in Electric Power, Oil and Gas and Consolidated

Record Second Quarter GAAP Diluted and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

Attributable to Common Stock of $0.48 and $0.59, Respectively

Reaffirms Full-Year 2018 EPS Guidance With Improved Second Half of Year Visibility

HOUSTON – August 2, 2018 - Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenues in the second quarter of 2018 were $2.66 billion, compared to revenues of $2.20 billion in the second quarter of 2017, and net income attributable to common stock was $74.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income attributable to common stock of $63.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.59 for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $0.50 for the second quarter of 2017.

“We are off to a solid first half start and remain on track to achieve our full-year earnings per share expectations. Importantly, the second half of this year is strengthening as our base business activity seasonally increases and our larger pipeline projects are ramping in construction activity,” said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. “Demand for craft skilled labor is high, and our investments in safety and training have made Quanta a preferred employer in our industry. We ended the second quarter with more than 37,000 employees and are on pace to generate record man hours this year. Quanta’s competitive position in the marketplace and our ability to serve the expanding needs of our customers has never been better. Our end markets are strong, we see opportunity to achieve record backlog again this year and we believe we are well positioned for growth over the next several years.”

Certain items impacted the second quarter of 2018 and were reflected as adjustments in Quanta’s adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock calculation. Favorably impacting second quarter 2018 results was a change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities of $6.3 million ($6.6 million net of tax), or $0.04 per diluted share, partially offset by certain charges of $6.7 million ($5.2 million net of tax), or $0.03 per diluted share, that are described below in the notes to the table reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Such charges included acquisition and integration costs, severance and restructuring costs and an asset impairment charge.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

  •  

Secured Three Mainline Spreads of Line 3 Replacement Project - In June 2018, Quanta was selected by Enbridge Pipelines Inc. for three spreads of phase two of the Canadian section of the Line 3 Replacement Program. Quanta’s scope of work includes the construction and installation of approximately 236 miles (380 kilometers) of new 36-inch diameter crude oil mainline pipe, which will begin in White City, Saskatchewan and continue to Brandon, Manitoba. Quanta’s construction on the project is expected to begin in August 2018 and is anticipated to achieve substantial completion in the first half of 2019. This project is included in remaining performance obligations and backlog at June 30, 2018.

 

  •  

Selected for Site C Transmission Line - In June 2018, Quanta was selected by BC Hydro for the Site C Transmission Line project in northeast British Columbia. Quanta’s scope of work on the project includes the construction and installation of two new 500 kilovolt transmission lines along 75 kilometers of existing right-of-way between the Site C hydroelectric dam project and the Peace Canyon generating station. Pre-construction activities have commenced and the project is expected to reach substantial completion in the second quarter of 2022. This project is included in remaining performance obligations and backlog at June 30, 2018.

 

  •  

Repurchased Stock - During June and July of 2018, Quanta repurchased $30.0 million of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases, acquiring 0.9 million shares. With these repurchases, Quanta has acquired 5.9 million shares of its common stock for $203.9 million in 2018. In the aggregate, Quanta has acquired 7.2 million shares of its common stock for $253.9 million under its current $300 million stock repurchase program. Quanta has approximately $46.1 million remaining of its repurchase authorization.

RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

Revenues in the first six months of 2018 were $5.07 billion, compared to revenues of $4.38 billion in the first six months of 2017, and net income attributable to common stock was $112.0 million in the first six months of 2018, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common stock of $112.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2017. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.98 for the first six months of 2018 compared to $0.90 for the first six months of 2017.

Quanta completed two acquisitions during the first six months of 2018 and three acquisitions during the full-year 2017. Therefore, Quanta’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include the results of the acquired businesses from the acquisition dates and are compared to the historical results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. For further information on the items that impacted comparability in 2018 and 2017, 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 below.

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. Therefore, Quanta’s financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management’s effort to properly align these uncertainties with the backlog the company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during 2018. The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially.

Prior to the company’s conference call, management will post a summary of updated 2018 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the “Investors & Media” section of Quanta’s website at http://investors.quantaservices.com. Quanta reaffirms its full-year 2018 earnings per share guidance. Quanta now expects revenues to range between $10.35 billion and $10.75 billion, net income attributable to common stock to range between $320.0 million and $382.0 million, and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to remain between $2.07 and $2.47. Quanta expects adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) to remain between $2.55 and $2.95, EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to now be between $763.3 million and $864.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to now be between $824.7 million and $926.2 million. See the tables below for reconciliations of estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to estimated GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the full-year 2018 and estimated EBITDA and estimated adjusted EBITDA to estimated GAAP net income attributable to common stock for the full-year 2018.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP measures 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.

Performance Obligations and Backlog (a non-GAAP measure)

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service. 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.

Quanta has also historically disclosed its backlog, and while backlog is not a defined term under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), it is a common measurement used in Quanta’s industry. Quanta also 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 (a non-GAAP measure) as of June 30, 2018, along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months of June 30, 2018:

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Attributable to Common Stock

For the Three and Six Months Ended

(In thousands, except per share information)

(Unaudited)

 

The non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, 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. As to certain of the items below, (i) amortization of intangible assets is impacted by Quanta’s acquisition activity, and therefore can vary from period to period; (ii) 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; (iii) acquisition and integration costs vary period to period depending on the level of Quanta’s ongoing acquisition activity, (iv) severance and restructuring costs and asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; and (v) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on financial performance of certain acquired businesses. 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.

The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITA, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, which, when used in connection with net income attributable to common stock, is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta’s performance. EBITA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates and certain other items as described below. 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. 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. As to certain of the items below, (i) amortization of intangible assets is impacted by Quanta’s acquisition activity, and therefore can vary from period to period; (ii) equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates can vary from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of unconsolidated affiliates, including deferral of a portion of the earnings on a large construction contract performed by Quanta for an affiliate in which Quanta has an equity interest; (iii) 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; (iv) acquisition and integration costs vary period to period depending on the level of Quanta’s ongoing acquisition activity; (v) severance and restructuring costs and asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; and (vi) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on financial performance of certain acquired businesses.

Free (Negative Free) Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure):

The non-GAAP measure of free (negative free) cash flow, when used in connection with net cash provided by (used in) 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 (negative free) cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as capital expenditures less proceeds from sale of property and equipment and proceeds from insurance settlements related to property and equipment. Management believes that free (negative free) cash flow provides useful information to Quanta’s investors because free (negative 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 free (negative free) cash flow for capital allocation purposes as it is viewed as a measure of cash available to pay debt, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock and transact other investing and financing activities.

As to certain of the items below, (i) amortization of intangible assets is impacted by Quanta’s acquisition activity, and therefore can vary from period to period; (ii) equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates can vary from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of unconsolidated affiliates, including deferral of a portion of the earnings on a large construction contract performed by Quanta for an affiliate in which Quanta has an equity interest; (iii) 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; (iv) acquisition and integration costs vary period to period depending on the level of Quanta’s ongoing acquisition activity; (v) severance and restructuring costs and asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; and (vi) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on financial performance of certain acquired businesses. Because EBITA, 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 below.
