5. ACQUISITIONS:

2016 Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2016, Quanta completed three acquisitions. The results of two of the acquired companies are generally included in Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment. These companies included a full service medium- and high-voltage powerline contracting company located in the United States and a telecommunications company located in Canada. Quanta also acquired a pipeline service contractor located in the United States, the results of which are generally included in Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services segment. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $42.2 million paid or payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and contingent consideration payments of up to $35 million, which will be paid if certain financial targets are achieved. Based on the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration, Quanta has recorded a $15.4 million liability. As these transactions were effective during the first quarter of 2016, the results have been included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions should enable Quanta to further enhance its service offerings in the United States and Canada.

2015 Acquisitions

During 2015, Quanta acquired 11 companies. The results of eight of the acquired companies are generally included in Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment. These companies include a foundation services company located in the United States, an electrical contracting company located in the United States, an electrical engineering company located in Australia, a powerline construction company located in the United States, an engineering company located in Canada, an engineering, procurement and construction services company based in the United States, an underground construction contracting company located in Canada, and a supplier and material procurement specialist for the power and utility industry in Canada. The results of the remaining three acquired companies are generally included in Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services segment. These companies include a company that services above-ground storage tanks in the United States, an underground utility distribution contractor that provides services to gas and electric utilities in Canada, and a company that specializes in the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of compression and surface facilities for the high pressure gas industry in Australia. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions consisted of approximately $110.4 million paid or payable in cash, subject to net working capital adjustments, 461,037 shares of Quanta common stock valued on the settlement dates of the acquisitions at approximately $10.1 million, and $1.0 million in contingent consideration. As these transactions were effective during 2015, the results have been 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 the United States, Canada and Australia.

2016 and 2015 Acquisitions

Quanta is in the process of finalizing its assessments of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to businesses acquired subsequent to March 31, 2015, and further adjustments to the purchase price allocations may occur. Quanta expects to complete the purchase accounting process as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates with possible updates primarily related to certain tax estimates. The aggregate purchase consideration related to the businesses acquired in 2015 subsequent to March 31, 2015 was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which resulted in a preliminary allocation of approximately $34.4 million of net tangible assets, $35.8 million of goodwill and $15.9 million of other intangible assets. Additionally, the aggregate purchase consideration related to the first quarter 2016 acquisitions was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which resulted in a preliminary allocation of approximately $23.2 million of net tangible assets, $26.1 million of goodwill and $8.3 million of other intangible assets.

The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid or payable as of March 31, 2016 for the 2016 and 2015 acquisitions and presents the allocation of these amounts to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. This allocation requires a significant use of estimates and is based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared (in thousands).

The fair value of current assets acquired in 2016 included accounts receivable with a fair value of $10.2 million. The fair value of current assets acquired in 2015 included accounts receivable with a fair value of $20.6 million.

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net amount of the fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The 2016 and 2015 acquisitions strategically expanded Quanta’s Canadian, Australian and domestic electric power and oil and gas service offerings, which Quanta believes contributes to the recognition of the goodwill. In connection with the 2016 acquisitions, goodwill of $5.8 million was recorded for the businesses acquired that were included within Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services Division and $20.3 million was recorded for the business acquired that was included within Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services Division on the dates of acquisition. In connection with the 2015 acquisitions, goodwill of $31.2 million was recorded for the businesses acquired that were included within Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services Division and $20.4 million was recorded for businesses included within Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services Division on the dates of acquisition. Goodwill of approximately $0.4 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes related to the businesses acquired in the first three months of 2016, and goodwill of approximately $33.9 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes related to the businesses acquired in 2015.

The pro forma combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of Quanta to include the historical results of the 2016 acquisitions as if they occurred January 1, 2015. The pro forma combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 have also been prepared by adjusting the historical results of Quanta to include the historical results of the 2015 acquisitions as if they occurred January 1, 2014. These pro forma combined historical results were also adjusted for the following: a reduction of interest expense as a result of the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired businesses, a reduction of interest income as a result of the cash consideration paid net of cash received, an increase in amortization expense due to the incremental intangible assets recorded related to the 2016 and 2015 acquisitions, an increase or decrease in depreciation expense within cost of services related to the net impact of adjusting acquired property and equipment to the acquisition date fair value and conforming depreciable lives with Quanta’s accounting policies, an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Quanta common stock and exchangeable shares and certain reclassifications to conform the acquired companies’ presentation to Quanta’s accounting policies. The pro forma results of operations do not include any adjustments to eliminate the impact of acquisition related costs or any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the 2016 and 2015 acquisitions. As noted above, the pro forma results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined company for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined company in the future.

Revenues of approximately $5.6 million and a loss before taxes of approximately $2.4 million were included in Quanta’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to the three 2016 acquisitions following their respective dates of acquisition.
