Quanta Services Reports 2009 Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

Fourth Quarter Revenues of $985.4 million GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.21 in 4Q09 Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.31 in 4Q09


HOUSTON, Feb. 22  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2009. As previously announced, Quanta completed the acquisition of Price Gregory Services, Incorporated (Price Gregory) on Oct. 1, 2009.  Therefore, these reported results of operations include the results of Price Gregory from Oct. 1, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2009 and are compared to the pre-acquisition historical results of Quanta for prior fiscal periods.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $985.4 million compared to revenues of $921.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, net income attributable to common stock was $43.9 million or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared to $46.5 million or $0.24 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.31 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $0.27 for the fourth quarter of 2008.  See the attached table for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the reported GAAP measure.

"Our customers and demand for our services continue to be negatively impacted by slow economic conditions. During these difficult times, however, we have continued our strategy of not pursuing low-margin work.  The success of this strategy is reflected in the improvement of our gross margins for the full year 2009 over 2008 even though we had a reduction in our emergency restoration revenues of $127 million in 2009.  While our strategy has adversely affected our revenues and backlog, we are confident that it will benefit our company and shareholders over the long term," said John R. Colson, chairman and CEO of Quanta Services.  "Although we are forecasting a challenging first quarter of 2010, we continue to expect meaningful recovery in the second half of 2010 with a modest increase in spending by our customers."

Revenues for the 12 months of 2009 were $3.32 billion compared to $3.78 billion for the 12 months of 2008. For the 12 months of 2009, Quanta reported net income attributable to common stock of $162.2 million or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $157.6 million or $0.87 per diluted share for the 12 months of last year. Included in net income attributable to common stock for the 12 months of 2009 is $22.4 million of income, or a benefit of $0.11 per diluted share, from the release of income tax contingencies in the third quarter of 2009.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.90 for the 12 months of 2009 as compared to $1.03 for the 12 months of 2008. See the attached table for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the reported GAAP measure.

See note (a) to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in this press release for an explanation of 2008 amounts that have been retrospectively restated as a result of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements effective Jan. 1, 2009.

OUTLOOK

Quanta and its customers continue to operate in a challenging business environment caused partly by the economic downturn and weak capital markets. Therefore, management cannot predict the timing or extent of the impact that these conditions may have on demand for Quanta's services, particularly in the near term. The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and actual results may differ materially.

Quanta expects revenues for the first quarter of 2010 to range between $700 million and $750 million. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 are estimated to be $0.07. Quanta expects adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure calculated on the same basis as the historical adjusted diluted earnings per share presented in this release) for the first quarter of 2010 to be approximately $0.11. Amortization of intangibles, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock compensation expenses are forecasted to be $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2010.

Quanta expects revenues for the full year 2010 to range between $3.9 billion and $4.2 billion. Diluted earnings per share for the full year 2010 are estimated to be between $0.90 and $1.00. Quanta expects adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure calculated on the same basis as the historical adjusted diluted earnings per share presented in this release) for the full year 2010 to range from $1.06 to $1.16. Amortization of intangibles, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock compensation expenses are forecasted to be approximately $61.0 million for the full year 2010.

This press release (and oral statements regarding the subject matter of this release, including those made on the conference call and webcast announced herein) contains forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the "safe harbor" from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, projected revenues and earnings per share and other projections of financial and operating results and capital expenditures; growth or opportunities in particular markets; the impact of renewable energy initiatives, the recently enacted economic stimulus package and other existing or potential legislative actions on future spending by customers; the potential benefits from acquisitions, including Price Gregory; the expected value of, and the scope, services, term and results of any related projects awarded under, agreements for services to be provided by Quanta; statements relating to the business plans or financial condition of our customers; and Quanta's strategies and plans, as well as statements reflecting expectations, intentions, assumptions or beliefs about future events, and other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  Although Quanta's management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  These statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and by a variety of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict or beyond our control, including, among others, quarterly variations in operating results; continuing declines in economic and financial conditions, including volatility in the capital markets; trends and growth opportunities in relevant markets; delays, reductions in scope or cancellations of existing projects, including as a result of capital constraints that may impact our customers; dependence on fixed price contracts and the potential to incur losses with respect to these contracts; estimates relating to the use of percentage-of-completion accounting; the successful negotiation, execution, performance and completion of pending and existing contracts; the ability to generate internal growth; the effect of natural gas and oil prices on Quanta's operations and growth opportunities; the ability to effectively compete for new projects and market share; the failure of renewable energy initiatives, the recently enacted economic stimulus package or other existing or potential legislative actions to result in increased demand for Quanta's services; cancellation provisions within contracts and the risk that contracts are not renewed or are replaced on less favorable terms; the inability of customers to pay for services; the failure to recover on payment claims against project owners or to obtain adequate compensation for customer-requested change orders; the failure to effectively integrate Price Gregory and its operations or to realize potential synergies, such as cross-selling opportunities, from the acquisition; the ability to attract skilled labor and retain key personnel and qualified employees; potential shortage of skilled employees; estimates and assumptions in determining financial results and backlog; the ability to realize backlog; the ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions; the potential adverse impact resulting from uncertainty surrounding acquisitions, including the ability to retain key personnel from the acquired businesses and the potential increase in risks already existing in Quanta's operations; the adverse impact of goodwill or other intangible asset impairments; growth outpacing infrastructure; unexpected costs or liabilities that may arise from lawsuits or indemnity claims related to the services Quanta performs; liabilities for claims that are self-insured; potential additional risk exposure resulting from any unavailability or cancellation of third party insurance coverage; inability to enforce our intellectual property rights or the obsolescence of such rights; risks associated with the implementation of an information technology solution; potential liabilities relating to occupational health and safety matters; the potential that participation in joint ventures exposes us to liability and/or harm to our reputation for failures of our partners; risks associated with operating in international markets; risks associated with our dependence on suppliers, subcontractors and equipment manufacturers; risks associated with Quanta's fiber optic licensing business, including regulatory changes and the potential inability to realize a return on capital investments; beliefs and assumptions about the collectability of receivables; the cost of borrowing, availability of credit, fluctuations in the price and volume of Quanta's common stock, debt covenant compliance, interest rate fluctuations and other factors affecting financing and investment activities; the ability to obtain performance bonds; the impact of a unionized workforce on operations and the ability to complete future acquisitions; the ability to continue to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; potential exposure to environmental liabilities; requirements relating to governmental regulation and changes thereto; rapid technological and structural changes that could reduce the demand for services; the ability to access sufficient funding to finance desired growth and operations; the potential conversion of Quanta's outstanding convertible subordinated notes; provisions of our corporate governing documents could make an acquisition of our company more difficult; and other risks detailed in Quanta's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, Quanta's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters in 2009, and any other documents that Quanta files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of this date. Quanta does not undertake and expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For a discussion of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors are urged to refer to Quanta's documents filed with the SEC that are available through the company's Web site at http://www.quantaservices.com/ or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System (EDGAR) at http://www.sec.gov/.

  (a) Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted two new accounting
      pronouncements that each required retrospective application. One of
      these pronouncements was FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, "Accounting
      for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
      Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (FSP APB 14-1) (FASB
      Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470-20, Debt-Debt with
      Conversion and Other Options). FSP APB 14-1 (FASB ASC 470-20) requires
      us to bifurcate and separately value the debt and equity components of
      our convertible subordinated notes on our balance sheet. The recorded
      value of the equity component of our convertible notes is offset by
      the recognition of an adjustment to the carrying value of the
      convertible subordinated notes in the form of an original issuance
      discount which is amortized over the expected life of the convertible
      subordinated notes as a non-cash interest charge. As a result of the
      adoption of FSP APB 14-1 (FASB ASC 470-20), we recorded non-cash
      interest expense of $1.1 million and $4.2 million for the three and
      twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and $1.0 million and $14.5
      million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The
      additional non-cash interest expense in 2008 reduced our previously
      reported diluted earnings per share from $0.88 to $0.87 for the twelve
      months ended December 31, 2008 and had no impact on reported diluted
      earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2008. In
      addition, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining
      Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are
      Participating Securities" (FSP EITF 03-6-1) (FASB ASC 260, Earnings
      Per Share). Under FSP EITF 03-6-1 (FASB ASC 260), we are required to
      treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable
      rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid)
      as participating securities and to include such awards in the
      computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. The adoption
      of FSP EITF 03-6-1 (FASB ASC 260) did not have a material impact on
      basic and diluted earnings per share in the three or twelve months
      ended December 31, 2009 or 2008. As a result of retrospectively
      applying both of these FSPs, our consolidated balance sheet as of
      December 31, 2008 and consolidated statements of operations for the
      three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 have been
      retrospectively restated herein to reflect the impact of the adoption
      of these standards.

  Backlog 
  Backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize from
  work to be performed in the future on uncompleted contracts, including new
  contractual arrangements on which work has not yet begun.  The backlog
  estimates include amounts under long-term maintenance contracts in
  addition to construction contracts. We determine the amount of work under
  long-term maintenance contracts, or master service agreements (MSAs), to
  be disclosed as backlog as the estimate of future work to be performed by
  using recurring historical trends inherent in the current MSAs, factoring
  in seasonal demand and projected customer needs based upon ongoing
  communications with the customer. In many instances, our customers are not
  contractually committed to specific volumes of services under our MSAs,
  and many of our contracts may be terminated with notice. There can be no
  assurance as to our customers' requirements or that our estimates are
  accurate. In addition, many of our MSAs, as well as contracts for fiber
  optic licensing, are subject to renewal options. For purposes of
  calculating backlog, we have included future renewal options only to the
  extent the renewals can reasonably be expected to occur.  We also included
  in backlog our share of the work to be performed under contracts signed by
  joint ventures in which we have an interest.

  The table below provides the total backlog at the end of each period, with
  the 12 month column indicating what portion of such backlog is expected to
  be realized over the next 12 months.

          Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
          Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
          For the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
          (In thousands, except per share information)
          (Unaudited)

  The non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share is provided to
  enable investors to evaluate quarterly and annual performance excluding
  the effects of items that management believes impact the comparability of
  operating results between periods. More particularly, (i) the release of
  tax contingencies generally occur at the expiration of statutory periods,
  resulting in variations in the timing and amounts of such releases from
  period-to-period; (ii) amortization of intangible assets and
  acquisition/integration costs are impacted by Quanta's acquisition
  activity, which can cause these amounts to vary from period-to-period;
  (iii) non-cash interest expense results from the requirements of FSP APB
  14-1 (FASB ASC 470-20) (see Note (a) to the Consolidated Statements of
  Operations) and varies from period-to-period depending on the amount of
  the convertible subordinated notes outstanding during the period; and (iv)
  non-cash compensation expense may vary due to acquisition activity and
  factors influencing the estimated fair value of performance-based awards.
