Summary
Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported strong revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, driven primarily by the acquisition of Price Gregory Services, Inc. and a significant increase in its Natural Gas and Pipeline Infrastructure Services segment. While overall revenues increased by 21.1% to $2.82 billion, the Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment experienced a slight revenue decline. The company also saw a decrease in its overall gross margin to 16.8% from 17.3% in the prior year period, largely due to a higher proportion of revenue coming from the lower-margin Natural Gas segment. Despite margin pressure, Quanta Services' operating income increased by 18.9% to $201.7 million for the nine-month period. The company demonstrated solid liquidity with $441.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2010, and a robust $1.1 billion in working capital. Management anticipates sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to meet future operating needs, debt obligations, and planned capital expenditures, including strategic acquisitions like the recent purchase of Valard Construction LP. The company is navigating a challenging economic environment but expresses optimism for long-term growth opportunities in 2011 and beyond, particularly in electric transmission, gas transmission, and telecommunications infrastructure.
