HOUSTON, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. PWR today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Revenues in the third quarter of 2022 were $4.46 billion compared to revenues of $3.35 billion in the third quarter of 2021, and net income attributable to common stock was $156.0 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $174.4 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $1.77 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.48 for the third quarter of 2021.

"Quanta delivered solid results in the third quarter, with multiple record financial metrics, including revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow. Quanta continues to profitably grow and perform at a high-level, which we believe demonstrates our repeatable and sustainable model and the successful execution of our strategic initiatives to drive operational excellence, total cost solutions for our clients and value for our stakeholders," said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. "Our solid financial performance in 2022, coupled with our record backlog, active customer discussions and robust end market dynamics, reaffirms our confidence in our full-year 2022 consolidated financial expectations.

"We are increasingly excited and confident about the opportunity to drive multi-year revenue and double-digit earnings per share growth by continuing to support the long-term programmatic spend of our customers and capitalizing on the energy transition across our portfolio of services, which we believe has been enhanced by the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Quanta is investing in the future to meet the needs of our customers and capitalize on the visible opportunities ahead of us. We look forward to a strong finish in 2022 and expect significant backlog growth as we enter 2023, which supports our expectations for profitable growth next year."

Certain items impacted the third quarter of 2022 results and are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta's adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure). These items are described in the accompanying tables reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed one acquisition during the first nine months of 2022 and completed ten acquisitions during the full year 2021, and the results of the acquired businesses are included in Quanta's consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates. For further information on the items that impacted comparability of 2022 and 2021, see the footnotes accompanying tables presenting Supplemental Segment Data and reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (non-GAAP measures) to their comparable GAAP financial measures.

RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $12.66 billion compared to revenues of $9.06 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and net income attributable to common stock was $328.6 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $381.2 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

FULL-YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK

The long-term outlook for Quanta's business is positive. However, weather, regulatory, permitting, supply chain challenges and other factors impacting project timing and execution have impacted the company's historical results and may impact Quanta's future financial results. Additionally, we continue to consider future uncertainty associated with overall challenges impacting the domestic and global economy, including inflation, increased interest rates and recessionary economic conditions. Therefore, Quanta's financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management's effort to align these uncertainties with the backlog (a non-GAAP measure) the company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during the remainder of 2022.

Prior to the company's conference call, management will post a summary of updated 2022 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the "News and Events" and "Financial Info" areas 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. For the full year ending December 31, 2022, Quanta now expects revenues to range between $16.80 billion and $17.00 billion, net income attributable to common stock to range between $473 million and $507 million, diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $3.19 and $3.43 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $6.15 and $6.39. Additionally, Quanta now expects EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.44 billion and $1.49 billion, adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.65 billion and $1.70 billion, and free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $600 million and $700 million for the full year ending December 31, 2022.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The financial measures not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) that are utilized 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, financial measures prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of the following non-GAAP financial measures for Quanta's current and historical results and full-year 2022 expectations (as applicable): adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock; adjusted net income attributable to common stock, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measures) to net income attributable to common stock; free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to net cash provided by operating activities; and backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure) to remaining performance obligations.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Backlog (a non-GAAP financial 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 financial measure enables it and its investors 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 by reportable segment along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months:

For the Three and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021
(In thousands, except per share information)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income attributable to common stock to net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These reconciliations are 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 and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP.

As to certain of the items in the table: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense may vary from period to period 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 from period to period depending on the level of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iv) asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; (v) 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, the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations and changes in the estimated fair value of amounts based on the impact of interest rates; (vi) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; (vii) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on Quanta's investment in a publicly traded company vary from period to period based on fluctuations in the market price of such company's common stock; (viii) gains and losses on the sales of investments vary from period to period depending on activity; and (ix) write-offs of deferred financing costs vary from period to period depending on the timing and nature of debt and other financing transactions.

Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2022, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock exclude the impact of equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates. Management believes that excluding the impact of this item allows Quanta's investors and management to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations between periods and identify operating trends, since the results of these unconsolidated affiliates' operations are not operationally integral to those of Quanta. As a result of this change, the calculation of adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been recast to conform to the current presentation. Because adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included in the table to follow.

(b) The amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 include, among other things, $11.0 million and $34.0 million of expenses associated with change of control payments as a result of the acquisition of Blattner.

(c) The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents an asset impairment charge primarily related to the discontinued use of the right-of-use asset associated with Quanta's prior corporate headquarters. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents an asset impairment charge related to certain equipment that was not utilized in our core operations and subsequently sold.

(d) The amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 represent unrealized losses related to the fair value remeasurement of Quanta's common stock investment in Starry Group Holdings, Inc.

(Unaudited)

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These reconciliations 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 and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors 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. However, 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. As to certain of the items below: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense may vary from period to period due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iii) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; (iv) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on Quanta's investment in a publicly traded company vary from period to period based on fluctuations in the market price of such company's common stock; (v) gains and losses on the sales of investments vary from period to period depending on activity; (vi) asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; and (vii) 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, the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations and changes in the estimated fair value of amounts based on the impact of interest rates. 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.

(c) The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents a gain as a result of the sale of Quanta's non-controlling ownership interest in a technology company.

(d) The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents an asset impairment charge related to the discontinued use of the right-of-use asset associated with Quanta's prior corporate headquarters.

Reconciliation of Free (Negative Free) Cash Flow:

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of free (negative free) cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. This reconciliation 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 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, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock and debt securities, declare and pay dividends and transact other investing and financing activities. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.

Other Non-GAAP Definitions:

Days Sales Outstanding:

Days Sales Outstanding is calculated by using the sum of current accounts receivable, net of allowance (which includes retainage and unbilled balances), plus contract assets, less contract liabilities, and divided by average revenues per day during the quarter.

Total Liquidity:

Total liquidity includes Quanta's cash and cash equivalents and availability under Quanta's senior credit facility and commercial paper program. Available commitments for revolving loans under the senior credit facility must be maintained in order to provide credit support for notes issued under the commercial paper program, and therefore such notes effectively reduce the available borrowing capacity under the senior credit facility.

Estimated Adjusted Net Income and
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Attributable to Common Stock
For the Full Year 2022
(In thousands, except per share information)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure of estimated adjusted net income attributable to common stock to estimated net income attributable to common stock and the non-GAAP financial measure of estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to estimated diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the full year ending December 31, 2022. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's expected future performance. Management believes that the exclusion of certain items from net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP.

As to certain of the items below: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense may vary from period to period 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) asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; (v) 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, the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations and changes in the estimated fair value of amounts based on the impact of interest rates; (vi) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; (vii) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on Quanta's investment in a public company vary from period to period based on fluctuations in the market price of the company's publicly traded securities; and (viii) gains and losses on the sales of investments vary from period to period depending on activity.

Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2022, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock exclude the impact of equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates. Management believes that excluding the impact of this item allows Quanta's investors and management to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations between periods and identify operating trends since the results of these unconsolidated affiliates' operations are not operationally integral to those of Quanta. As a result of this change, the calculation of adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the full year 2022 conforms to the current presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Because adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.

(a) The amount includes an estimated $35.9 million of expenses associated with certain change of control payments as a result of the acquisition of Blattner. These change in control payments have been expensed on a pro rata basis from January 1, 2022 through the one-year anniversary of Quanta's acquisition of Blattner in October 2022.

(b) The amount represents an asset impairment charge primarily related to the discontinued use of the right-of-use asset associated with Quanta's prior corporate headquarters in connection with its move to a new headquarters.

(c) The amount represents an unrealized loss related to the fair value remeasurement of Quanta's common stock investment in Starry Group Holdings, Inc. STRY, a publicly traded broadband technology provider, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The loss was calculated as the difference between the market value of the investment as of September 30, 2022 and Quanta's investment balance as of December 31, 2021. Starry Group Holdings, Inc. became a publicly traded company on March 29, 2022.

(d) The amount represents a gain as a result of the sale of Quanta's non-controlling interest in a technology company.

(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) As described above, adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the year ended December 31, 2022 conforms to the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of estimated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock for the full year ended December 31, 2022. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's expected future performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it and Quanta's investors 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. However, 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. As to certain of the items below: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense may vary from period to period due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iii) asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; (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, the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations and changes in the estimated fair value of amounts based on the impact of interest rates; (v) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates can vary from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; (vi) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on Quanta's investment in a publicly traded company vary from period to period based on fluctuations in the market price of such company's common stock; and (vii) gains and losses on sales of investments vary from period to period depending on activity.

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 in the table to follow.
