Filed August 6, 2021For Securities:PWR

Summary

Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported strong top-line growth for the second quarter and first half of 2021, with revenues increasing by 19.7% and 8.2%, respectively, compared to the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment, which benefited from increased demand for utility services and larger transmission projects, as well as contributions from acquisitions. The company also saw a significant increase in operating income and net income attributable to common stock, indicating improved profitability and operational efficiency. Despite the overall positive financial performance, the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment experienced revenue declines due to reduced activity in larger pipeline projects and the ongoing challenging energy market, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This segment was also impacted by a significant provision for credit loss related to receivables from a customer that filed for bankruptcy. However, the company maintained a strong liquidity position with substantial cash and available credit facilities, and its backlog of work remained robust, providing visibility into future revenue streams.
