What is the primary driver of Quanta Services' recent revenue growth?

The primary drivers of Quanta Services' recent revenue growth are a combination of strong organic demand in its core telecommunications, cable television, and electric power industries, coupled with an aggressive acquisition strategy. The company acquired 15 businesses in the first half of 2000, significantly expanding its operational scale and market reach.

How has Quanta Services managed its increased debt levels?

Quanta Services has managed its increased debt levels by utilizing a $350 million credit facility and completing a $150 million senior secured notes private placement. Proceeds from these facilities and the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been used to finance acquisitions and support working capital needs. Subsequent to the quarter, further debt was issued in the form of convertible subordinated notes to repay outstanding credit facility debt.

What impact did the UtiliCorp investment and strategic alliance have?

The investment from UtiliCorp, primarily through the purchase of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, provided $186 million in capital. This also initiated a strategic alliance and a management services agreement. UtiliCorp also converted $49.4 million in Convertible Subordinated Notes into common stock, which impacts the company's share structure. The management services agreement involves significant quarterly fees paid to UtiliCorp.

Are there any significant non-recurring items impacting the financial results?

While the company is growing rapidly through acquisitions, the reported period does not show significant non-recurring merger charges as seen in the prior year's comparable period. However, the rapid pace of acquisitions and integration can lead to fluctuations in operating results and require ongoing management attention.
