Quanta Services Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

HOUSTON, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Revenues in the second quarter of 2019 were $2.84 billion, compared to revenues of $2.66 billion in the second quarter of 2018, and net income attributable to common stock was $27.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019, compared to net income attributable to common stock of $74.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.31 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.59 for the second quarter of 2018. Included in consolidated results and electric power infrastructure services segment results for the second quarter of 2019 is a charge of $79.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, associated with the termination of a large telecommunications project in Peru. Quanta's Peruvian subsidiary is contesting this matter through arbitration, and additional information regarding the matter is included below.

"Quanta's second quarter revenues increased approximately 7% versus the second quarter of last year, which includes a double-digit increase and record levels for Electric Power segment revenue, driven by grid modernization, system hardening and other long-term programs," said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. "Importantly, Pipeline and Industrial segment margins increased significantly, in part due to previous organic growth investments in our utility-based natural gas distribution operations that are paying off, which positions us well for future profitable growth. We ended the quarter with record backlog of $12.8 billion and see opportunity for additional backlog growth this year. Additionally, we see continued strength in our end markets and incremental growth opportunities for our company through the balance of the year, and as a result have raised our full-year revenue outlook."

"Quanta recognized a charge in our second quarter financials related to a contract termination dispute with a Peruvian governmental agency on a fiber project that our Peruvian subsidiary was constructing. Based on this development and other considerations, we are evaluating the entirety of our Latin American operations going forward, including how those operations fit within our long-term strategy, and will determine what changes may be required. Nevertheless, Quanta's core operations and end markets are strong and performing well, and our positive multi-year growth outlook remains firmly in place."

Certain items that impacted the second quarter of 2019 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 reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock.

ADDITIONAL PERU PROJECT INFORMATION
As previously discussed on Quanta's first quarter earnings call and in other public forums, in connection with the termination of the telecommunications project in Peru, a Peruvian governmental agency exercised $25 million of on-demand performance bonds. Subsequent to Quanta's first quarter earnings call, the Peruvian governmental agency exercised an additional $87 million of on-demand advance payment bonds and indicated that it intends to claim damages, including a verbal allegation of approximately $45 million of liquidated damages under the project contracts, although it has not formally submitted the amount of its claim. Quanta believes the contracts were wrongfully terminated, the bonds were wrongfully exercised, and the Peruvian governmental agency is not entitled to the alleged amount of liquidated damages. In connection with this matter, Quanta's Peruvian subsidiary has filed for arbitration and intends to vigorously pursue its claims, including repayment of amounts collected under the bonds, payment of amounts owed for work completed, lost income associated with future operation of the project and other related costs and damages. However, as a result of the contract terminations and the inherent uncertainty involved in arbitration proceedings and recovery of amounts owed, Quanta recorded the $79.2 million charge to earnings in the quarter, which included a reduction of previously recognized earnings on the project, a reserve against a portion of unpaid project costs incurred through the contract termination date, an accrual for a portion of alleged liquidated damages and estimated costs to complete the project turnover and close out the project.

RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019
Revenues in the first six months of 2019 were $5.65 billion, compared to revenues of $5.07 billion in the first six months of 2018, and net income attributable to common stock was $147.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2019, compared to net income attributable to common stock of $112.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2018. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock was $1.27 for the first six months of 2019 compared to $0.98 for the first six months of 2018. The financial results, including GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 include the $79.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, charge associated with the termination of the large telecommunications project in Peru described previously and the recognition of $60.3 million ($43.9 million after-tax), or $0.30 per diluted share, of earnings related to the accounting treatment of previously deferred earnings on the Fort McMurray West electric transmission project in Canada.

Quanta completed two acquisitions during the first six months of 2019 and four acquisitions during the full-year 2018. 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 2019 and 2018, 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.

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 align these uncertainties with the backlog the company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during 2019. 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 2019 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the "Investors & Media" section of Quanta's website at http://investors.quantaservices.com.

Due to increased visibility and the sustained high level of infrastructure investment across our end markets, Quanta is increasing its full-year revenue expectations to between $11.5 billion and $11.9 billion. While Quanta would normally expect an increase in estimated revenues to also result in incremental profits relative to its prior guidance for net income, EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and earnings per share, in this case the increase was offset by the impact of the $79.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, charge associated with the termination of the large telecommunications project in Peru. As a result, Quanta now expects net income attributable to common stock to range between $362 million and $411 million, diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $2.46 and $2.79 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $2.99 and $3.33. Also included in Quanta's GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share expectations is the recognition of $0.30 per diluted share of earnings related to the accounting treatment of previously deferred earnings on the Fort McMurray West electric transmission project. This project was completed and placed in commercial operation in the first quarter of 2019, which resulted in the recognition of prior period deferred earnings within other income (expense), net, in the company's statements of operations for that quarter. EBITDA is now expected to range between $786 million and $866 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $852 million and $932 million, both of which include the negative impact of the $79.2 million charge associated with the large telecommunications project in Peru. See the accompanying tables 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 2019 and estimated EBITDA and estimated adjusted EBITDA to estimated GAAP net income attributable to common stock for the full-year 2019.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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 (a non-GAAP measure) by reportable segment along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Attributable to Common Stock
For the Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018

(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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. 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 ongoing acquisition activity, (iv) bargain purchase gains vary from period to period depending on Quanta's acquisition activity and the valuation of acquired businesses; (v) asset impairment charges and severance and restructuring costs can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; (vi) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on the forecasted performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses; (vii) changes in statutory tax rates are not regularly occurring items; and (viii) tax settlements and adjustments to related indemnification assets vary from period to period depending on the status and resolution of pending matters. 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.

(e) 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.
(f) The amount for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represents a $4.1 million tax benefit related to the favorable settlement of certain non-U.S. income tax obligations associated with an acquired business, partially offset by a reduction of a related indemnification asset of $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax). The tax benefit is included in "Income tax provision" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, and the expense associated with the reduction in the indemnification asset is included as "Other income (expense), net" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(g) Both diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 include a $79.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, charge associated with the termination of a large telecommunications project in Peru. Additionally, both diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019 include $60.3 million ($43.9 million after-tax), or $0.30 per diluted share, of earnings related to the accounting treatment of previously deferred earnings on the Fort McMurray West electric transmission project in Canada.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
For the Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, amortization and equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates, 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 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) 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 and subsequent recognition upon completion of construction of earnings on contracts performed for entities in which Quanta has an equity interest; (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) bargain purchase gains vary from period to period depending on Quanta's acquisition activity and the valuation of acquired businesses; (v) asset impairment charges and severance and restructuring costs can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; (vi) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on the forecasted performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses; and (vii) tax settlements and adjustments to related indemnification assets vary from period to period depending on the status and resolution of pending matters. 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 below.

Reconciliation of Free (Negative Free) Cash Flow:
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 the sale of property and equipment and 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 this measure for capital allocation purposes as it is viewed as a measure of cash available to pay debt, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock, declare and pay dividends and transact other investing and financing activities. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.

The following table presents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, 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. 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) bargain purchase gains vary from period to period depending on Quanta's acquisition activity and the valuation of acquired businesses; (v) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on the forecasted performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses; (vi) changes in statutory tax rates are not regularly occurring items; and (vii) tax settlements and adjustments to related indemnification assets vary from period to period depending on the status and resolution of pending matters. 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.

        3.33




               (a) The amount represents a bargain purchase
                gain, net of taxes, related to the acquisition
                of an electrical infrastructure services
                business.


               (b) The amount represents the impact on
                deferred taxes of a change in a Canadian
                provincial statutory tax rate.


               (c) 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.


               (d) The amount represents a $4.1 million tax
                benefit related to the favorable settlement of
                certain non-U.S. income tax obligations
                associated with an acquired business,
                partially offset by the reduction of a related
                indemnification asset of $4.0 million ($3.2
                million after-tax).


               (e) Both estimated diluted and estimated
                adjusted diluted earnings per share
                attributable to common stock for the six
                months ended June 30, 2019 include a $79.2
                million, or $0.54 per diluted share, charge
                associated with the termination of a large
                telecommunications project in Peru and $60.3
                million ($43.9 million after-tax), or $0.30
                per diluted share, of earnings related to the
                accounting treatment of previously deferred
                earnings on the Fort McMurray West electric
                transmission project in Canada.

Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Estimated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
For the Full Year 2019

(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures of estimated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which, when used in connection with estimated net income attributable to common stock, is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates, 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 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) 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 and subsequent recognition upon completion of construction of earnings on contracts performed for an entity in which Quanta has an equity interest; (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) bargain purchase gains vary from period to period depending on Quanta's acquisition activity and the valuation of acquired businesses; (v) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities vary from period to period depending on the forecasted performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses; and (vi) tax settlements and adjustments to related indemnification assets vary from period to period depending on the status and resolution of pending matters. 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 below.
