HOUSTON, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $4.43 billion compared to revenues of $3.97 billion in the first quarter of 2022, and net income attributable to common stock was $95.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $84.6 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.24 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1.35 for the first quarter of 2022.

"Quanta's year is off to a good start, with record total backlog of $25.3 billion, continued solid performance and safe execution from our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment and better-than-expected profitability from our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment, which contributed to double-digit revenue growth and adjusted earnings per share of $1.24 in the first quarter," said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. "The energy transition towards a reduced-carbon economy continues to progress, and we believe is gaining pace. Renewable generation project activity is accelerating, which we expect to continue throughout the year. Additionally, we are pursuing billions of dollars of high-voltage transmission projects designed to support current and future renewable generation capacity growth, as evidenced by our announcement of the SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind projects this morning. Quanta is successfully executing on our strategic initiatives to drive sustainable and resilient operational excellence, total cost solutions for our clients, consistent profitable growth and value for our stakeholders, which gives us confidence in our ability to deliver on our 2023 and multi-year financial expectations."

Certain items impacted Quanta's results for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 and are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta's adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure). These items are described in the accompanying tables reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed three acquisitions during the first three months of 2023 and one acquisition during the full year 2022, 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 2023 and 2022, see the footnotes in the accompanying tables presenting Supplemental Segment Data and reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (non-GAAP measures) to their comparable GAAP financial measures.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Selected for the SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind Projects - This morning, Quanta announced that it has been selected by Pattern Energy to provide comprehensive infrastructure solutions for the SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind projects, which together comprise the largest clean energy infrastructure project in United States history. The SunZia Transmission project is designed to transmit 3,000 megawatts of electricity generated by the SunZia Wind project on an approximately 550-mile, primarily bi-directional, +/-525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line from central New Mexico to south-central Arizona, facilitating the transportation of renewable energy to the western United States. Located in Lincoln, Torrance and San Miguel Counties in New Mexico, the SunZia Wind project is a 3,500-megawatt wind generation facility designed to generate enough electricity to power the needs of more than 3 million consumers. Blattner Company, a Quanta operating company, was selected to provide turnkey solutions for the wind farm facility and associated switchyard. Quanta expects to include the estimated revenues from the SunZia Transmission project in its Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions segment remaining performance obligations and backlog in the second quarter of 2023 and the estimated revenues from the SunZia Wind project in its Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions segment remaining performance obligations and backlog by the third quarter of 2023.
• EV Charging Partnership with Navistar - In May 2023, Navistar, a leading manufacturer and dealer of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses and provider of related services, announced a partnership with Quanta to provide Navistar customers a turnkey electric vehicle (EV) product and charging infrastructure solution that is designed to enable fleets to implement battery-EVs quickly and efficiently. The partnership intends to leverage Navistar's ability to deliver fully integrated eMobility solutions to its customers with Quanta's expertise in assessing requirements and designing EV charging infrastructure, building EV battery charging infrastructure and interconnecting charging infrastructure into the power grid. Additionally, this partnership is expected to serve as a catalyst to achieve Quanta and Navistar's shared near-term goal of utilizing the latest technologies to bring the safest medium- and heavy-duty trucks to the market starting in 2024.
• ENR Award of Excellence - In April 2023, Engineering News Record (ENR), a leading engineering and construction industry publication, selected Quanta for its prestigious and highest honor, the Award of Excellence. Quanta was selected for its safety leadership with our innovative Capacity Model, a unique safety and training program that is designed to not only create a work environment that prevents incidents, but also build in the capacity to fail safely, and that focuses on learning from mistakes in order to drive improved outcomes.

FULL-YEAR 2023 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 recessionary economic conditions. Quanta's financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management's effort to align these uncertainties with the backlog (a non-GAAP measure) the Company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during the remainder of 2023.

Prior to the Company's conference call, management will post a summary of Quanta's updated 2023 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, 2023, Quanta expects revenues to range between $18.60 billion and $19.10 billion and now expects net income attributable to common stock to range between $688 million and $762 million. Quanta also now expects diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $4.62 and $5.11 and continues to expect adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $6.75 and $7.25. Quanta now expects EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.70 billion and $1.82 billion and adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.84 billion and $1.95 billion. Additionally, for the full year ending December 31, 2023, Quanta continues to expect net cash attributable to operating activities to range between $1.15 billion and $1.40 billion and free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $750 million and $1.00 billion.

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 2023 expectations (as applicable): adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock; adjusted net income attributable to common stock, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measures) to net income attributable to common stock; free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to net cash provided by operating activities; and backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure) 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 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 total backlog by reportable segment, along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months:

(Unaudited)

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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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. 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 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 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; (vi) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on Quanta's investment in a publicly traded company vary from period to period based on fluctuations in the market price of such company's common stock; and (vii) gains and losses on the sales of investments vary from period to period depending on activity.

Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2022, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock exclude the impact of equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates. Management believes that excluding the impact of this item allows Quanta's investors and management to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations between periods and identify operating trends, since the results of these unconsolidated affiliates' operations are not operationally integral to those of Quanta. Additionally, beginning with the period ended December 31, 2022, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock exclude the impact of amortization included in equity in earnings of integral unconsolidated affiliates. Management believes that excluding the impact of this item allows Quanta's investors and management to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations between periods and identify operating trends. As a result of these changes, the calculation of adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 has been recast to conform to the current presentation.

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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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 when including the excluded items.

Reconciliation of Free (Negative 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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.

Cash proceeds from sale of property and equipment and related insurance settlements	10,751		9,001
Net capital expenditures	(69,568)		(100,936)
Negative Free Cash Flow	$        (31,159)		$         (15,846)

Other Non-GAAP Definitions:

Days Sales Outstanding:
Days Sales Outstanding is calculated as the sum of current accounts receivable, net of allowance (which includes retainage and unbilled balances), plus contract assets, less contract liabilities, and divided by average revenues per day during the quarter.

Total Liquidity:
Total liquidity includes Quanta's cash and cash equivalents and availability under Quanta's senior credit facility. Available commitments for revolving loans under the senior credit facility must be maintained in order to provide credit support for notes issued under the commercial paper program, and therefore such notes effectively reduce the available borrowing capacity under the senior credit facility.
