QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Record First Quarter Electric Power Infrastructure Revenues
First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.26 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.47
Total Backlog of $14.7 Billion
First Quarter Cash Flow from Operations of $227.5 million
Total Liquidity of $1.7 Billion at March 31, 2020
Adjusts 2020 Outlook to Reflect Estimated Impact of COVID-19 and Other Factors on Operations
HOUSTON – May 7, 2020 - Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were $2.76 billion compared to revenues of $2.81 billion in the first quarter of 2019, and net income attributable to common stock was $38.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to net income attributable to common stock of $120.5 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.47 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.96 for the first quarter of 2019. Both diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include $60.3 million ($43.9 million after-tax), or $0.30 per diluted share, of earnings related to the recognition of previously deferred earnings on an electric transmission project in Canada.
“Quanta is operating in unprecedented health and economic conditions, and we remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, while continuing to deliver critical infrastructure services to our customers. Quanta generated solid results in the first quarter that put us on track to meet our pre-COVID-19 pandemic full-year outlook. We ended the quarter with near record backlog and a strong balance sheet, which we believe demonstrates the sustainability of our business and favorable positioning going forward,” said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. “We estimate that 80% to 90% of our revenues are derived from utility, communications and certain pipeline and industrial infrastructure services that we believe will

continue to be resilient, even in the current challenging environment, and we expect to achieve record backlog during the year. We anticipate the second quarter to be our most challenging of the year due to short-term disruptions; however, we are collaborating with our customers and preparing our resources with the expectation that operating conditions will normalize throughout the year.
“Quanta was built for times like these, and we are confident in the resiliency and sustainability of our business model. We believe the successful execution of our key objectives over the past several years, coupled with significant financial liquidity, have positioned us well, and provide us the strength and flexibility to not only navigate through times of uncertainty, but come out the other side better positioned. Quanta’s people are the heart of our company, and they are critical to our success going forward. I again want to recognize and thank them for their hard work and dedication during this challenging time. As a critical infrastructure services company, their efforts are especially needed - perhaps now more than ever.”
As communicated in Quanta’s fourth quarter 2019 earnings release and conference call, the company is pursuing the orderly exit of its Latin American (LATAM) operations. Quanta’s LATAM operations generated operating losses of $16.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, of which, approximately $6.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, was greater than anticipated. The greater than anticipated operating income losses were primarily associated with early termination and close out costs of projects in the region, cost adjustments on remaining obligations of certain work and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, Quanta does not receive beneficial tax treatment for these losses. Quanta continues to make progress on its pursuit of an orderly exit of these operations, including the potential sale of certain of its operations.
Certain items that impacted the first quarter of 2020 results 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 non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock in the accompanying table. Quanta completed two acquisitions during the first three months of 2020 and seven acquisitions during the full year 2019. 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 2020 and 2019, 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.
QUANTA’S RESPONSE TO AND EFFECT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Quanta has taken proactive measures to protect the health and safety of its employees. In February, the company implemented its pandemic plan, which includes a focus on prevention, preparedness and response. We have operated based on the guidelines
-MORE-
set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and are monitoring conditions on a real-time basis. We have also implemented initiatives in response to the pandemic such as specialized training, social distancing, additional protective equipment for our employees in the field, and additional sanitizing measures for offices, vehicles and equipment. We have canceled non-essential business travel, applied work from home policies where appropriate and developed other human resource related guidance to help employees stay safe and healthy. As of March 31, 2020, Quanta had approximately 39,500 employees and to date has not experienced any meaningful health impact on availability of our workforce or key personnel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Quanta implemented its business continuity plan and has been collaborating with customers to minimize potential service disruptions and to proactively anticipate how COVID-19 may impact the company’s operations. Further, Quanta’s pandemic plan has been made available to our customers and vendors as an additional resource. Although there are no immediate threats to resources needed to continue serving customers, Quanta is in constant communication with its workforce, suppliers and partners and continues to monitor developments that may affect our operations.
In the latter part of the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter, shelter-in-place restrictions in some of our service areas created disruptions to portions of our operations. Even though our services are critical infrastructure and deemed essential, certain major metropolitan markets that have been meaningfully impacted by COVID-19 such as Detroit, New York and Seattle shut down work. The pandemic has also compounded challenges that the broader energy market is experiencing, which is affecting portions of our Pipeline and Industrial Infrastructure Services segment. Quanta is also experiencing some minor permitting delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is not experiencing and does not expect to experience significant supply chain disruptions or workforce availability issues. As a result of these dynamics, we expect our second quarter results to be meaningfully impacted, and have reduced our expectations for the second half of the year. However, state and local governments are beginning to ease restrictions, and we are planning with our customers for the disruptions to our work to moderate.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Quanta’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and actions taken by domestic and international governments in response to the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. We continue to actively monitor the current environment for risks related to the pandemic in order to prepare and respond accordingly.
STRONG LIQUIDITY AND FAVORABLE CASH FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
Quanta has a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, including significant availability under its senior revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2020, Quanta had total liquidity of $1.7 billion, including $377.2 million of cash. The company generated cash flow
-MORE-
from operations of $227.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $526.6 million for the full year 2019. We believe Quanta’s operational strengths and diversity, coupled with the countercyclical nature of our cash flow generation and the incremental cost and capital expenditures management measures we have taken, position us well to continue to operate successfully and profitably and to opportunistically but prudently deploy capital.
COST AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES MANAGEMENT
Quanta has taken proactive measures to manage costs given the uncertain macroeconomic environment, including, among other things, the suspension of hiring and raises at various operations, discretionary spending and non-essential travel and deferrals of non-essential capital expenditures. We have also taken tough but necessary actions to manage labor costs at operations that are facing challenges and uncertainty in the current environment. Though we believe Quanta’s business will remain resilient and flexible, and we continue to see opportunity for profitable growth going forward, we believe these actions are prudent given the current circumstances.
CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT PRIORITIES
Quanta continues to employ a balanced approach to capital allocation, which includes supporting our commitment to investments that facilitate long-term growth and sustainability, as well as prudently returning capital to stockholders. Quanta’s financial strength positioned the company to repurchase approximately six million shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2020 for $200 million, leaving $86.8 million of availability remaining under its $500 million stock repurchase plan. The company also declared a dividend of $0.05 per share during the first quarter of 2020 and expects to continue paying quarterly dividends, subject to approval by Quanta’s board of directors.
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. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted certain of Quanta’s operations and various markets where Quanta operates, which has created additional uncertainty. 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 the remainder of 2020. Management believes continuing to provide expectations commentary to the investment community in times of uncertainty has value and will discuss its outlook in detail on its earnings conference call this morning. However, given the circumstances, Quanta’s outlook commentary should be considered directional and is subject to numerous market and other conditions that are beyond the company’s control and represent management’s current assessment of potential financial results.

Prior to the company’s conference call, management will post a summary of updated 2020 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the “Financial Info” area 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. Quanta estimates that 80% to 90% of its forecasted full year 2020 revenue will be derived from utility, communications and certain pipeline and industrial infrastructure services that the company believes are resilient. However, due primarily to the effects and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and its exacerbating effect on the broader energy market, certain portions of Quanta’s Pipeline and Industrial Infrastructure Services segment are challenged, particularly in the second quarter of 2020. Quanta estimates at least 70% of the change in the company’s full-year 2020 expectations as compared to its prior expectations can be attributed to COVID-19 related disruptions, with the remaining 30% largely associated with the residual effects that low oil prices have on our pipeline and industrial customers’ capital budgets, and to a lesser extent, the increased losses attributable to Quanta’s LATAM operations. As a result, Quanta has adjusted its full-year financial expectations and now expects revenues to range between $11.4 billion and $11.8 billion, net income attributable to common stock to range between $325 million and $370 million, diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $2.25 and $2.57 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure) to range between $3.04 and $3.36. EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is expected to range between $780 million and $845 million and adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is expected to range between $860 million and $925 million. Quanta’s outlook for 2020 includes the expected results of its LATAM operations. As referenced above, the company has completed a strategic review and has concluded it will pursue the orderly exit of these operations. The company is considering various options to that end and, absent delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, believes a significant portion of the process could be achieved in 2020. Quanta believes this course of action is prudent and will result in improved profitability and optimization of the company’s operational portfolio. In 2020, Quanta’s LATAM operations are expected to generate revenues of $20 million to $40 million, an operating loss of $25 million to $30 million and diluted loss per share of $0.17 to $0.21. Quanta is maintaining its full year free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) expectations of between $400 million and $600 million. These expectations assume, among other things, that the metropolitan markets in which we operate and that have experienced work stoppages due to the COVID-19 pandemic have resumed normal work activities early in the third quarter of 2020 and for the remainder of the year.
The following shows Quanta’s estimated full-year 2020 segment revenues depicted by type of services relative to management’s estimate of the resiliency of those services in the current environment. Gas Distribution, Maintenance and Integrity, Larger Pipeline Projects and Other P&I Infrastructure Services are services included within Quanta’s Pipeline and Industrial Infrastructure Services

segment. Quanta is providing this information for additional perspective on the company’s business and expectations for 2020 and management will provide further commentary regarding this information on this morning’s earnings call. Due to similarities and potential overlap in the allocation of certain types of work across these categories, in some cases management has applied judgment in these estimates.
Please 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 full-year 2020, estimated EBITDA and estimated adjusted EBITDA to estimated GAAP net income attributable to common stock for full-year 2020 and estimated free cash flow to estimated net cash provided by operating activities for full-year 2020.
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:

Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stock For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 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; (v) losses on passive equity investments vary from period to period depending on various market factors outside Quanta’s influence or control; 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 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.

| a) | The amount for the three months ended March 31, 2020 represents a loss on a passive equity investment in an investment fund, the portfolio of which primarily consists of upstream oil and gas investments. The purpose of Quanta’s investment in the fund was to provide backlog opportunities. As of March 31, 2020, Quanta’s basis in the investment was $10.2 million. This loss is included as “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
| (b) | 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. |
| (c) | The amount for the three months ended March 31, 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 $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax) reduction of a related indemnification asset. 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. |
| (d) | Both diluted and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include $60.3 million ($43.9 million after-tax), or $0.30 per diluted share, of earnings related to the recognition of previously deferred earnings on an investment in an electric transmission project in Canada. |

Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (In thousands) (Unaudited) |
The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 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 (v) tax settlements and adjustments to related indemnification assets vary from period to period depending on the status and resolution of pending matters.

Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Free (Negative Free) Cash Flow and Other Non-GAAP Definitions For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (In thousands) (Unaudited) |
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 fund debt payments, including required quarterly payments under our outstanding term loans, 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.

Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Estimated Free Cash Flow For the Full Year 2020 (In thousands) (Unaudited) |
The non-GAAP measure of estimated free (negative free) cash flow, when used in connection with estimated 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 fund debt payments, including required quarterly payments under our outstanding term loans, 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.
