QUANTA SERVICES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2023 RESULTS

"Our 2024 expectations reflect the opportunity for continued growth in revenues and double-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow. Demand is strong for our solutions that support our customers' energy-transition initiatives and that increase reliability, safety, efficiency and connectivity of infrastructure assets through modernization, and we are increasingly excited and confident about the opportunity to drive multi-year revenue and double-digit earnings per share growth. We continue to believe our portfolio approach is a strategic advantage that helps us manage risks and shift resources across service lines and geographies, which we believe will become increasingly important as the energy transition accelerates, and positions us well to allocate resources to the opportunities we find most economically attractive and achieve operating efficiencies and consistent financial results."

Certain items that impacted Quanta's results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 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 diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock. Quanta completed five acquisitions during 2023 and one acquisition during 2022, 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 2023 and 2022, 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.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Capital Deployment - In January 2024, Quanta acquired two businesses in the United States, including a business that provides specialty environmental solutions to industrial companies and a business that specializes in testing, manufacturing and distributing safety equipment and supplies, for aggregate consideration of approximately $424.7 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Quanta also currently has authorization under its existing stock repurchase program to acquire an additional $499.7 million of its common stock. Additionally, in December 2023, Quanta's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of $0.09 per share, or a rate of $0.36 per share on an annualized basis, which represents a 13% increase from Quanta's prior quarterly cash dividend paid in October 2023.

RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
Revenues in the year ended December 31, 2023 were $20.88 billion compared to revenues of $17.07 billion in the year ended December 31, 2022, and net income attributable to common stock was $744.7 million, or $5.00 per diluted share, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to net income attributable to common stock of $491.2 million, or $3.32 per diluted share, in the year ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock was $7.16 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $6.34 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

FULL-YEAR 2024 OUTLOOK
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, increased 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 2024.

Prior to the Company's conference call, management will post a summary of Quanta's 2024 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 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, 2024, Quanta expects revenues to range between $22.25 billion and $22.75 billion and net income attributable to common stock to range between $851 million and $925 million. Quanta also expects diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $5.71 and $6.21 and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock to range between $8.00 and $8.50. Quanta expects EBITDA to range between $1.99 billion and $2.11 billion, and adjusted EBITDA to range between $2.14 billion and $2.25 billion. Additionally, for the full year ending December 31, 2024, Quanta expects net cash attributable to operating activities to range between $1.75 billion and $2.15 billion and free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to range between $1.30 billion and $1.70 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 2024 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.
