Summary

Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported strong revenue growth in 2013, reaching $6.52 billion, a 10.2% increase over 2012. This growth was driven by higher activity in both the Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment (up 6.5%) and the Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services segment (up 21.8%), with acquisitions contributing to these gains. The company also saw an improvement in gross profit margin to 16.2% from 15.8% in the prior year, attributed to better project execution and a favorable revenue mix, partially offset by a decrease in high-margin emergency restoration services. Net income attributable to common stock rose by 31.1% to $401.9 million, reflecting improved operational performance and a significant gain from the sale of an equity ownership interest in Howard Midstream Energy Partners, LLC. The company's robust performance was supported by continued investment in infrastructure, particularly in the North American electric power grid upgrade and expansion, as well as the ongoing development of natural gas and oil infrastructure fueled by shale resource extraction. Despite facing economic uncertainties and stringent regulatory requirements, Quanta's diversified business model and strategic acquisitions positioned it for sustained growth. The company ended the year with a strong balance sheet, including $488.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and significant availability under its credit facility.
