HOUSTON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $7.87 billion compared to revenues of $6.23 billion in the first quarter of 2025, and net income attributable to common stock was $220.6 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $144.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock was $2.68 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.78 for the first quarter of 2025.

"Quanta delivered an exceptional first quarter, reflected by strong double-digit growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, along with record backlog of $48.5 billion. In particular, revenue growth and margin performance exceeded our expectations across both segments, demonstrating the power of our differentiated, solutions-based operating model and the execution certainty our craft-skilled workforce delivers for our customers every day. Based on this strong start to the year and improved visibility, we are increasing our full-year 2026 financial expectations and remain on track to deliver another year of double-digit earnings per share growth," said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services.

"At our Investor Day last month, we outlined a clear path to more than doubling our adjusted EPS by 2030, driven by our Compounding Model and our unique positioning at the center of converging utility, generation and large-load markets — which we believe together represent a total addressable market of $2.4 trillion through 2030. The accelerating convergence of these markets continues to create significant opportunities, and Quanta's craft-labor platform, integrated solutions and supply chain investments position us as the trusted partner our customers turn to when certainty matters most. I want to recognize the dedication and absolute performance mindset of our Quanta family, whose commitment to safety, quality and performance continues to drive our success and support the strength of our long-term outlook."

Certain items that impacted Quanta's results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta's Adjusted net income attributable to common stock, Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measures). These items are described in the accompanying tables reconciling Adjusted net income attributable to common stock, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock and Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed eight acquisitions during the full year 2025, and the results of the acquired businesses are included in Quanta's consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates. For further information on the items that impacted comparability of 2026 and 2025, see the footnotes in the accompanying tables presenting Supplemental Segment Data and reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income attributable to common stock and Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (non-GAAP financial measures) to their comparable GAAP financial measures.

FULL-YEAR 2026 OUTLOOK
Prior to the Company's conference call, management will post a summary of Quanta's updated 2026 guidance expectations with additional commentary in the "News and Events" and "Financial Info" areas of the Investor Relations section of Quanta's website at http://investors.quantaservices.com. 

The long-term outlook for Quanta's business is positive. However, weather, regulatory, permitting, supply chain challenges and other factors affecting project timing and execution have impacted, and may impact in the future, Quanta's financial results. Additionally, we continue to consider future uncertainty associated with overall challenges to the domestic and global economy, including inflation, interest rates and potential recessionary economic conditions. Quanta's financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management's effort to align these uncertainties with the backlog the Company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during the remainder of 2026.

The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially, as described below in Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements and Information. For the full year ending December 31, 2026, Quanta now expects revenues to range between $34.7 billion and $35.2 billion and net income attributable to common stock to range between $1.40 billion and $1.50 billion. Quanta also now expects diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $9.17 and $9.87 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $13.55 and $14.25. Quanta now expects EBITDA to range between $3.20 billion and $3.36 billion and adjusted EBITDA to range between $3.49 billion and $3.65 billion. Additionally, for the full year ending December 31, 2026, Quanta continues to expect net cash provided by operating activities to range between $2.35 billion and $2.85 billion and free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.55 billion and $2.05 billion.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The financial measures not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) that are utilized in this press release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Quanta's performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing Quanta's operating results with those of its competitors. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, financial measures prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of the following non-GAAP financial measures for Quanta's current and historical results and full-year 2026 expectations (as applicable): adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock; adjusted net income attributable to common stock, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock; free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities; and backlog to remaining performance obligations.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure)

Quanta's remaining performance obligations represent management's estimate of consolidated revenues that are expected to be realized from the remaining portion of firm orders under fixed price contracts not yet completed or for which work has not yet begun as of such dates and, to a lesser extent, from certain unit-priced contracts with more than an insignificant amount of partially completed units. For purposes of calculating remaining performance obligations, Quanta includes all estimated revenues attributable to consolidated joint ventures and variable interest entities, revenues from funded and unfunded portions of government contracts to the extent they are reasonably expected to be realized, and revenues from change orders and claims to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection.

Quanta has also historically disclosed its backlog, a measure commonly used in its industry but not recognized under GAAP. Quanta believes this measure enables management to more effectively forecast its future capital needs and results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. Quanta believes this measure is also useful for investors in forecasting Quanta's future results and comparing Quanta to its competitors. Quanta's remaining performance obligations, as described above, are a component of its backlog calculation, which also includes estimated orders under master service agreements (MSAs), including estimated renewals, and certain non-fixed price contracts. Quanta's methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.

Estimates of the timing of revenue recognition of remaining performance obligations are subject to change based on, among other things, project accelerations; project cancellations or delays, including but not limited to those caused by commercial issues, regulatory requirements, natural disasters, emergencies and adverse weather conditions; and final acceptance of change orders by customers. These factors can cause revenues to be realized in periods and at levels that are different than originally projected.

The following table reconciles total remaining performance obligations to Quanta's backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure) by reportable segment along with estimates of amounts expected to be realized within 12 months. The following table shows dollars in thousands.

For the Three Months Ended

(In thousands, except per share information)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted net income attributable to common stock to net income attributable to common stock and Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's performance. Management believes that the exclusion of certain items from net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock enables Quanta and its investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent due to, among other reasons, the variable nature of these items period over period. In addition, management believes these measures may be useful for investors in comparing Quanta's operating results with other companies that may be viewed as our peers. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP.

As to certain of the items in the table: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) amortization of intangible assets and amortization included in equity in earnings are impacted by Quanta's acquisition activities and investments in integral unconsolidated affiliates, and therefore can vary from period to period; (iii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level and complexity of Quanta's acquisition activity; (iv) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on, among other things, the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses and the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations; (v) equity in losses and earnings of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of such affiliates, the operations of which are not operationally integral to Quanta; and (vi) change in fair value of non-marketable equity securities varies from period to period based on various factors, including changes in the financial performance of the investee, the investee's operating environment and general market conditions.

Because Adjusted net income attributable to common stock and Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to common stock and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included in the table to follow.

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stock or other financial measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables Quanta and its investors to more effectively evaluate Quanta's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent due to, among other reasons, the variable nature of these items period over period. In addition, management believes these measures may be useful for investors in comparing Quanta's operating results with other companies that may be viewed as its peers.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow:

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. This reconciliation is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's ability to generate the cash required to maintain and potentially expand its business. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and from insurance settlements related to property and equipment. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to Quanta's investors because free cash flow is viewed by management as an important indicator of how much cash is provided or used by routine business operations, including the impact of net capital expenditures. Management uses this measure for capital allocation purposes as it is viewed as a measure of cash available to fund debt payments, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock and debt securities, declare and pay dividends and transact other investing and financing activities. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Estimated Free Cash Flow
For the Full Year 2026
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of estimated free cash flow to estimated net cash provided by operating activities for the full year ending December 31, 2026. This reconciliation is intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate Quanta's expectations regarding its ability to generate the cash required to maintain and potentially expand its business. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and from insurance settlements related to property and equipment. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to Quanta's investors because free cash flow is viewed by management as an important indicator of how much cash is provided or used by routine business operations, including the impact of net capital expenditures. Management uses this measure for capital allocation purposes as it is viewed as a measure of cash available to fund debt payments, acquire businesses, repurchase common stock and debt securities, declare and pay dividends and transact other investing and financing activities. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.
