Summary

Summary of the 10-K filed March 15, 2004. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Quanta Services, Inc. reported $1.6 billiona in consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

The company provides specialized contracting services, with a significant portion of its revenue (60%b) coming from electric power and gas customers, followed by telecommunications (15%), cable television (7%), and ancillary services (18%). Despite a challenging market, particularly in the telecommunications and cable sectors, Quanta is focused on expanding operating efficiencies, driving internal growth through comprehensive solutions, and diversifying its service portfolio. The company's strategy includes pursuing new opportunities in the government sector through a new subsidiary, Quanta Government Solutions (QGS).

Financially, Quanta ended 2003 with $179.6 millionc in cash and cash equivalents and $476.7 million in working capital. The company successfully issued $270 million in 4.5% convertible subordinated notes in October 2003 and entered into a new $185 million credit facility in December 2003, enhancing its liquidity.

However, the company experienced a net loss of $34.9 milliond for the year, an improvement from the significant loss in 2002 primarily attributed to goodwill impairments. Despite the loss, management anticipates sufficient cash flow to meet operating needs, debt service, and capital expenditures, while also aiming for stabilization and potential growth in demand from its core customer industries in 2004.
