Filed November 4, 2022For Securities:PWR

Summary

Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) reported strong revenue growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2022, driven by increased demand across its key segments: Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions, Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions, and Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions. Total revenues surged by 33.0% year-over-year for the quarter and 39.8% for the nine-month period, largely fueled by contributions from recent acquisitions, particularly Blattner in the Renewable Energy segment, and increased utility spending on grid modernization. Despite the top-line growth, net income attributable to common stock saw a decline of 10.6% for the quarter, primarily due to a significant unrealized loss on an investment in a publicly traded company (Starry) and increased amortization expenses from acquisitions. However, operating income showed resilience, increasing by 15.6% for the quarter, supported by robust performance in the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment and steady contributions from Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions. The company maintained a strong backlog, ending the period with $20.87 billion, indicating continued demand for its services.

Frequently Asked Questions

The substantial revenue growth was driven by several factors, including increased spending by utility customers on grid modernization and hardening, strong demand in the renewable energy sector (bolstered by the acquisition of Blattner), and higher activity in gas utility and industrial services. The Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions, Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions, and Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segments all contributed to the overall revenue increase.
