ACQUISITIONS:

On August 30, 2019, Quanta acquired Hallen, a pipeline and industrial services business located in the United States that specializes in gas distribution and transmission services, and to a lesser extent, underground electric distribution and transmission services. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Quanta also acquired two specialty utility foundation and pole-setting contractors serving the southeast United States; an electric power specialty contracting business located in the United States that provides aerial power line and construction support services; a business located in the United States that provides technical training materials to electric utility workers; an electric power company specializing in project management and, to a lesser extent, water and wastewater projects located in the United States; and an electrical infrastructure services business located in Canada. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $399.3 million paid or payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and 60,860 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $1.8 million as of the respective acquisition date. A portion of the cash consideration in connection with the Hallen acquisition was placed in an escrow account, which, subject to certain conditions, could be utilized to reimburse Quanta for obligations associated with certain contingent liabilities assumed by Quanta in the transaction. See Legal Proceedings — Hallen Acquisition Assumed Liability in Note 14 for additional information related to these liabilities. Beginning on the respective acquisition dates, the results of the acquired businesses have been included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements, with the results of Hallen generally included in the Pipeline and Industrial Infrastructure Services segment and the other acquired businesses generally included in the Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Quanta acquired an electrical infrastructure services business specializing in substation construction and relay services, a postsecondary educational institution that provides training and programs for workers in the industries Quanta serves and two communications infrastructure services businesses, all of which are located in the United States. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $108.3 million paid or payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and 679,668 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $22.9 million as of the respective acquisition dates. Additionally, the acquisitions of the postsecondary educational institution and one of the communications infrastructure services businesses include the potential payment of up to $18.0 million of contingent consideration, payable if the acquired businesses achieve certain performance objectives over five- and three-year post-acquisition periods. Based on the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, Quanta recorded $16.5 million of liabilities as of the respective acquisition dates. Beginning on the respective acquisition dates, the results of the acquired businesses have been included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements, generally within the Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment.

On July 20, 2017, Quanta acquired Stronghold, a specialized services business located in the United States that provides high-pressure and critical-path solutions to the downstream and midstream energy markets. The aggregate consideration included $351.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and 2,693,680 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $81.3 million as of the acquisition date. Additionally, the acquisition includes the potential payment of up to $100.0 million of contingent consideration, payable if the acquired business achieves certain performance objectives over a three-year post-acquisition period. Based on the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, Quanta recorded a $51.1 million liability as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Quanta also acquired a communications infrastructure services business and an electrical and communications business, both of which are located in the United States. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of $12.0 million paid or payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and 288,666 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $8.3 million as of the respective acquisition date of the applicable acquired business. Beginning on the respective acquisition dates, the results of the acquired businesses have been included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements, with the results of Stronghold generally included in Quanta’s Pipeline and Industrial Infrastructure Services segment and the results of the other acquired businesses generally included in Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment.

The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid or payable as of December 31, 2019 for the acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2018 and presents the allocation of these amounts to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates, inclusive of any purchase price adjustments. These allocations require significant use of estimates and are based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. Quanta uses a variety of information to estimate fair values, including quoted market prices, carrying amounts and valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. When deemed appropriate, third-party appraisal firms are engaged to assist in fair value determination of fixed assets, intangible assets and certain other assets and liabilities.

Quanta is finalizing its fair value assessments for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to businesses acquired during 2019, and further adjustments to the purchase price allocations may occur. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired were preliminary, with possible updates primarily related to pre-acquisition contingent liabilities, as further described in Legal Proceedings — Hallen Acquisition Assumed Liability in Note 14 and tax estimates. Consideration amounts are also subject to the finalization of closing working capital adjustments. The aggregate consideration paid or payable for businesses acquired during 2019 was allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which resulted in an allocation of $101.0 million to net tangible assets, $192.8 million to identifiable intangible assets, $110.4 million to goodwill and $3.1 million to bargain purchase gain (in thousands).

Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price for an acquired business exceeds the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and a bargain purchase gain results when the amount of the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the purchase price for an acquired business. The acquisition of the electrical infrastructure services business in Canada that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019 included the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of $3.1 million, which was recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The acquisitions completed in 2019, 2018 and 2017 strategically expanded Quanta’s domestic pipeline and industrial and domestic and international electric power and communications service offerings, which Quanta believes contributes to the recognition of the goodwill. Approximately $90.6 million, $21.6 million and $251.4 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes related to acquisitions completed in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The pro forma combined results of operations were prepared by adjusting the historical results of Quanta to include the historical results of the acquisitions completed in 2019 as if they occurred January 1, 2018, the historical results of the acquisitions completed in 2018 as if they occurred January 1, 2017 and the historical results of the acquisitions completed in 2017 as if they occurred January 1, 2016. These pro forma combined historical results were adjusted for the following: a reduction of interest expense as a result of the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired businesses; an increase in interest expense as a result of the cash consideration paid; an increase in amortization expense due to the incremental intangible assets recorded; changes in depreciation expense to adjust acquired property and equipment to the acquisition date fair value and to conform with Quanta’s accounting policies; an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Quanta common stock; and reclassifications to conform the acquired businesses’ presentation to Quanta’s accounting policies.
