Summary
Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported robust revenue growth in its 2011 10-K filing, driven primarily by its Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment, which accounted for 66% of its $4.62 billion in consolidated revenues. The company highlighted increased project awards and demand for its services, particularly in the latter half of the year, indicating a positive trend following economic challenges. Acquisitions played a significant role in expanding Quanta's capabilities and geographic reach, with notable additions in the electric power sector in Canada and the U.S., as well as a horizontal directional drilling company in Australia. While the Natural Gas and Pipeline Infrastructure Services segment experienced a revenue decline, the company is focusing on diversification within this segment, particularly in midstream gathering systems and pipeline integrity services. Looking ahead, Quanta anticipates continued strength in its Electric Power segment due to ongoing grid modernization and renewable energy project development. The Telecommunications segment is expected to benefit from broadband deployment initiatives and 4G/LTE network build-outs. The company also emphasized its strong financial position and ongoing strategic evaluation of acquisitions to fuel future growth.
