“Quanta’s utility solutions and delivery model continue to produce world-class execution and performance, which drove fourth quarter results that exceeded our expectations and completed a solid year for Quanta that included improved profitability and record earnings per share and backlog, despite the unprecedented conditions caused by the global pandemic,” said Duke Austin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quanta Services. “We believe our 2020 results reflect the dedication and operational excellence of our people, the resilience of our business and the sound execution of our strategic initiatives.”
“Our 2021 expectations reflect growth in revenues, net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. More importantly, we continue to believe there is opportunity to drive multi-year revenue and earnings growth by focusing on our base business and continuing to provide infrastructure solutions that support our customers’ efforts to increase reliability, safety, efficiency and connectivity through modernization. Incrementally, we believe our solutions play an important role in enabling policies and goals aimed at transitioning towards a carbon neutral economy over the long-term, which many of our utility customers are leading. We are successfully executing on our strategic growth initiatives, which, coupled with our strong financial profile, position us well to continue to deliver value to stockholders.”
Favorably impacting the fourth quarter of 2020 were a $45.1 million release of a valuation allowance against foreign tax credits as a result of a financial restructure during the fourth quarter of 2020 and an $8.2 million benefit related to the release of tax contingencies upon expiration of certain statute of limitations periods. Certain other items also impacted the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2019 results and are reflected as adjustments in the calculation of Quanta’s adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (a non-GAAP measure). These items are further 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 seven acquisitions during each of 2020 and 2019, 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 2020 and 2019, see the footnotes to the accompanying tables presenting Supplemental Segment Data and reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock (non-GAAP measures) to their comparable GAAP financial measures.
