QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS
Achieved Record Revenues and Backlog
Diluted EPS of $0.18 in 4Q07
Diluted Cash EPS of $0.23 in 4Q07
HOUSTON — February 21, 2007— Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007. On August 30, 2007, Quanta completed the acquisition of InfraSource Services, Inc. (InfraSource) through an all-stock merger. Therefore, these reported results of operations include the results of InfraSource from September 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and are compared to the pre-merger historical results of Quanta for prior fiscal periods.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 were a record high of $879.0 million, compared to revenues of $585.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, income from continuing operations was $33.5 million or $0.18 per diluted share as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $31.2 million or a loss of $0.27 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, cash earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure that represents diluted earnings per share before certain non-cash charges) were $0.23. See the attached table for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure and to see other non-GAAP measures and the related reconciliations for comparable periods. Fourth quarter of 2006 results include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $56.6 million, net of tax, or $0.46 per diluted share.
“2007 was another good year for Quanta, finishing with a strong fourth quarter. Revenues, operating margins, and core business growth were all strong or improved over comparable periods. Customer spending remains robust and our ability to translate that spending to backlog continues,” said John Colson, chairman and chief executive officer of Quanta Services. “Now that the integration of InfraSource is substantially complete, we believe 2008 should continue our four-year trend of strong internal revenue growth and margin improvement. Our 12-month backlog of $2.355 billion at year-end represents an increase of $297 million or 14%, when compared to last year-end’s pro forma 12-month backlog including InfraSource. Since the end of the third quarter of 2007, our total backlog has increased approximately $880 million or 23% to a record level of $4.67 billion at year-end.”
Revenues for the 12 months of 2007 were a record high of $2.66 billion, compared to $2.11 billion for the 12 months of 2006. For the twelve months of 2007, the company reported income from continuing operations of
$133.1 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.87, compared to income from continuing operations of $16.2 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.14 for the twelve months of 2006. Included in income from continuing operations for 2007 is $33.2 million of income, or a benefit of $0.20 per diluted share, from the release of income tax contingencies due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations related to federal and state tax returns as well as the settlement of a multi-year audit by the Internal Revenue Service in the first quarter of 2007. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the $56.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which was recorded in the fourth quarter, impacted annual earnings per share by $0.44 per diluted share for the year.
The non-GAAP measures in this press release and the attached table are provided to enable investors to evaluate quarterly and annual performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods.
OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Quanta expects revenues for the first quarter of 2008 to range from $810 million to $840 million, with diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.10 to $0.11. Revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were $569.0 million, which included approximately $55 million in emergency restoration revenues. The first quarter of 2007 was also favorably impacted by $15.3 million of income, or a benefit of $0.10 per diluted share, primarily due to the settlement of a multi-year audit by the Internal Revenue Service in the first quarter of 2007 resulting in $0.23 earnings per diluted share from continuing operations. The first quarter of 2007 does not include InfraSource results as the acquisition did not occur until the third quarter of 2007. Quanta expects cash earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure that represents diluted earnings per share before amortization and non-cash compensation expenses, both net of tax) for the first quarter of 2008 to range from $0.15 to $0.16. Amortization and non-cash stock compensation expenses are forecasted to be approximately $15 million for the first quarter of 2008.
