QUANTA SERVICES, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2016

Filed August 8, 2016For Securities:PWR

Summary

Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported its financial results for the quarter ending June 29, 2016. The company experienced a decrease in revenues compared to the prior year, primarily driven by reduced customer spending on large electric transmission projects due to regulatory and environmental requirements, as well as timing fluctuations in larger pipeline projects. This decline in revenue, particularly in higher-margin projects, also led to a decrease in gross profit and a lower gross profit margin. Despite the revenue challenges, Quanta Services has been active in strategic acquisitions, integrating three new companies in the first quarter of 2016 to enhance its service offerings. The company's financial position remains solid with a strong credit facility and a healthy working capital. Management is focused on navigating market and regulatory complexities while capitalizing on long-term growth opportunities in the infrastructure services sector, particularly in electric power and oil & gas.
