18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2015, Quanta has completed the acquisition of three companies. These acquisitions included an underground utility distribution contractor that provides services to gas and electric utilities in Canada, a supplier and material procurement specialist for the power and utility industry in Canada and a company that specializes in the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of compression and surface facilities for the Australian high pressure gas industry. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was approximately $36.3 million in cash, subject to net working capital adjustments. As these transactions were effective during the first quarter of 2015, the results will be included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions should enable Quanta to further enhance its electric power and oil and gas infrastructure service offerings in Canada and Australia.

Stock Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2015, Quanta repurchased approximately 6.7 million shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program at a cost of $182.0 million.
