EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on
Form 10-Q/ A
(Amendment) is being filed to amend, as described below,
Items 1 and 2 of Part I of the quarterly report on
Form 10-Q of
Quanta Services, Inc. (Quanta) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 9, 2006 (Original
Report on
Form 10-Q). The
purpose of this Amendment is to amend (i) the condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 to
reclassify certain investments as short-term
investments that were classified as cash and cash
equivalents in the Original Report on
Form 10-Q and
(ii) the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to correct
cash flows from investing activities as a result of the above
reclassification by presenting Quantas investments in
these short-term securities as cash flows from investing
activities. Specifically, the Original Report on
Form 10-Q
classified $272.2 million of variable rate demand notes as
cash equivalents. The above reclassification had no affect on
previously reported current or non-current assets, current or
non-current liabilities, stockholders equity, net income,
earnings per share or net cash provided by operating activities.
In addition to the amendments discussed above, Quanta has added
additional disclosures regarding Quantas short-term
investments in (i) note 1 of the notes to condensed
consolidated financial statements, (ii) Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and (iii) Controls and
ProceduresManagements Consideration of the
Restatement. The complete text of Items 1, 2 and 4 of
Part I have been set forth in its entirety, in accordance
with Rule 12b-15
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
other Items from the Original Report on Form 10-Q are
included for the convenience of the reader. In connection with
the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the
SEC, Quanta is including with this Amendment currently dated
certifications. Unless otherwise indicated, the exhibits
previously filed with the Original Report on
Form 10-Q are not
re-filed herewith.
Except for the matters discussed in this Explanatory Note, this
Amendment reflects the disclosures made at the time of the
filing of the Original Report on
Form 10-Q, and no
attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update such
disclosures presented in the Original Report on
Form 10-Q. This
Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of
the Original Report on
Form 10-Q or
modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent
events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in
conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the
filing of the Original Report on
Form 10-Q,
including any amendments to those filings.

BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION: |
Quanta Services, Inc. (Quanta) is a leading provider of
specialized contracting services, offering
end-to-end network
solutions to the electric power, gas, telecommunications and
cable television industries. Quantas comprehensive
services include designing, installing, repairing and
maintaining network infrastructure.
|
|
|
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information |
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations. Quanta believes that
the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows with respect to the interim
consolidated financial statements have been included. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal
year. The results of Quanta historically have been subject to
significant seasonal fluctuations.
Quanta recommends that these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Quanta
and its subsidiaries included in Quantas Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005, which was filed with the SEC
on March 2, 2006.
|
|
|
Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in
determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist
as of the date the financial statements are published and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses recognized during the
periods presented. Quanta reviews all significant estimates
affecting its consolidated financial statements on a recurring
basis and records the effect of any necessary adjustments prior
to their publication. Judgments and estimates are based on
Quantas beliefs and assumptions derived from information
available at the time such judgments and estimates are made.
Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are
inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates
are primarily used in Quantas assessment of the allowance
for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, useful lives of
property and equipment, fair value assumptions in analyzing
goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, self-insured claims
liabilities, revenue recognition under
percentage-of-completion
accounting and provision for income taxes.
|
|
|
RESTATEMENT Short-Term Investments |
Quanta invests a portion of its cash in variable rate demand
notes (VRDNs), which are classified as short-term investments.
The income from these VRDNs is tax-exempt to Quanta. The
interest rates on these instruments are variable and reset daily
or weekly, depending on the security. As a result of the reset
feature, Quanta continually earns the market interest rate.
While VRDNs are debt instruments with scheduled maturities
ranging from 10-30 years, Quanta has the right to tender the
securities to a third-party liquidity provider for payment at
the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest at any time
with seven days notice pursuant to the put right granted to all
holders of these notes. Payment of these notes is secured by an
irrevocable letter of credit issued by an investment-grade
financial institution. Due to the liquidity and the short-term
nature of Quantas investment in these securities, they
have been classified as current assets in its condensed
consolidated balance sheet and are classified as available for
sale. These securities are carried at the

aggregate principal amount, which approximates fair value,
resulting in no unrealized gain (loss) to be recorded in other
comprehensive income.
As shown in the table below, the cash and cash equivalents as of
June 30, 2006 and the net cash used in investing activities
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 have been
restated to reclassify certain short-term investments which had
been classified as cash and cash equivalents, when such
securities should have been reported as short-term investments
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and as purchases or
sales of short-term investments in condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows.

Current and Long-Term Accounts and Notes Receivable and
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Quanta provides an allowance for doubtful accounts when
collection of an account or note receivable is considered
doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for
doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates including,
among others, the customers access to capital, the
customers willingness or ability to pay, general economic
conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customer. Under
certain circumstances such as foreclosures or negotiated
settlements, Quanta may take title to the underlying assets in
lieu of cash in settlement of receivables. As of June 30,
2006, Quanta has provided allowances for doubtful accounts of
approximately $48.7 million. Should customers experience
financial difficulties or file for bankruptcy, or should
anticipated recoveries relating to receivables in existing
bankruptcies or other workout situations fail to materialize,
Quanta could experience reduced cash flows and losses in excess
of current allowances provided. In addition, material changes in
Quantas customers revenues or cash flows could
affect its ability to collect amounts due from them.
Included in accounts and notes receivable are amounts due from a
customer relating to the construction of independent power
plants. During the first quarter of 2006, the underlying assets
which had secured these notes receivable were sold pursuant to
liquidation proceedings and the net proceeds are being held by a
trustee. The final collection of amounts owed to Quanta are
subject to further legal proceedings; however, Quanta has
provided allowances for a significant portion of these notes
receivable. Also included in accounts and notes receivable are
$4.7 million in retainage balances with settlement dates
beyond the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2006, the
total balance due from these customers was $52.7 million,
with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43.0 million.
During 2004, Quanta sold its prepetition receivable due from
Adelphia Communications Corporation and its affiliated companies
(Adelphia) to a third party with $6.0 million of the
proceeds held by the buyer pending the resolution of certain
preferential payment claims. Through March 31, 2006, the
6
QUANTA SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
account receivable associated with the holdback was recorded in
accounts and notes receivable. The preferential payment claims
have been settled; as such, Quanta expects to receive the
$6.0 million during the third quarter of 2006 and
therefore, has reclassified the amount into current accounts
receivable as of June 30, 2006.
|
|
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Quanta grants credit under normal payment terms, generally
without collateral, to its customers, which include electric
power and gas companies, telecommunications and cable television
system operators, governmental entities, general contractors and
builders, owners and managers of commercial and industrial
properties located primarily in the United States. Consequently,
Quanta is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in
business and economic factors throughout the United States;
however, Quanta generally has certain statutory lien rights with
respect to services provided. No customer accounted for more
than 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005 and
June 30, 2006 or revenues for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006.
|
|
|
Goodwill and Other Intangibles |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, goodwill attributable to each of Quantas
reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair
value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value
is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow,
market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches.
Significant estimates used in the above methodologies include
estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term
growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of
market multiples for each of the reportable units. On an ongoing
basis, absent impairment indicators, Quanta performs impairment
tests annually during the fourth quarter. SFAS No. 142
does not allow increases in the carrying value of reporting
units that may result from Quantas impairment test,
therefore Quanta may record goodwill impairments in the future,
even when the aggregate fair value of Quantas reporting
units and Quanta as a whole may increase. Any future impairment
adjustments would be recognized as operating expenses.
Quanta follows the liability method of accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method,
deferred assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected
to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are
recovered or settled.
Quanta regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for
deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain,
and Quanta maintains an allowance for tax contingencies that
Quanta believes is adequate. The estimation of required
valuation allowances includes estimates of future taxable
income. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Quanta considers projected future taxable income and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If actual
future taxable income differs from these estimates, Quanta may
not realize deferred tax assets to the extent estimated.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments An Amendment of
FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155
provides entities with relief from having to separately
determine the fair value of an embedded derivative that would
otherwise be required to be bifurcated from its host contract in
accordance with SFAS
7
QUANTA SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
No. 133. SFAS No. 155 allows an entity to make an
irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial
instrument at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair
value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 155 is effective for
all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a
remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. Quanta anticipates that the adoption of
SFAS No. 155 will not have a material impact on
Quantas financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation
(FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB
Statement 109. FIN No. 48 prescribes a
comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and
disclosing uncertain tax positions within financial statements.
The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. Quanta is
currently analyzing the provisions of FIN No. 48 and
has not yet made a determination of the impact the adoption will
have on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
Effective January 1, 2006, Quanta adopted
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified
prospective method of adoption, which requires recognition of
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation beginning
on the effective date. Under this method of accounting,
compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards is based
on the fair value of the awards granted, net of estimated
forfeitures, at the date they are granted. The resulting
compensation cost is recognized over the service period of each
award. In accordance with the modified prospective method of
adoption, Quanta has not adjusted consolidated financial
statements for prior periods.
Prior to January 1, 2006, Quanta accounted for its
stock-based compensation awards under APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under this
accounting method, no compensation expense was recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations if no intrinsic value of
the stock-based compensation award existed at the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation, which encouraged companies to account for
stock-based compensation awards based on the fair value of the
awards at the date they were granted, required disclosure as to
what net income and earnings per share would have been had
SFAS No. 123 been followed. Had compensation expense
for the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, which was terminated in 2005, been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, Quantas net income
(loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005 would have been reduced to the

QUANTA SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Beginning January 1, 2006, Quanta accounted for stock
options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R); however,
the effect of expensing the fair value of the stock options did
not have a material impact on Quantas financial position
or results of operations, as the number of unvested shares
remaining is not significant. Certain disclosures required under
SFAS No. 123(R) have been omitted due to immateriality.
The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from
option exercises totaled approximately $0.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 and $0.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. This tax benefit is
reported as a cash inflow from financing activities and an
adjustment to net income to derive cash flow from operations
within the statement of cash flows for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, as required by
SFAS No. 123(R), and as stated above, prior periods
have not been adjusted in accordance with the modified
prospective method of application.
During 2003, Quanta began using restricted stock rather than
stock options for Quantas various stock incentive
programs. Pursuant to the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, Quanta
issues restricted common stock at the fair market value of the
common stock as of the date of issuance. The shares of
restricted common stock issued pursuant to the 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan are subject to forfeiture, restrictions on
transfer and certain other conditions until they vest, which
generally occurs over three years in equal annual installments.
During the restriction period, the plan participants are
entitled to vote and receive dividends on such shares. During
the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, Quanta
granted 77,381 and 48,846 shares of restricted stock with a
weighted average grant price of $8.86 and $15.97. During each of
the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, Quanta granted
approximately 0.7 million shares of restricted stock with a
weighted average grant price of $7.55 and $13.89. During the
three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, 49,256 and
73,456 shares vested with a approximate fair value of
$0.5 million and $1.2 million. Approximately
1.0 million and 1.2 million shares vested during the
six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 with a total fair
value of $8.3 million and $16.6 million. A summary of
Quantas restricted stock activity for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 is as follows (in thousands, except fair

During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006,
Quanta recorded non-cash compensation expense with respect to
restricted stock in the amount of $0.9 million and
$1.6 million and a related income tax benefit of
$0.3 million and $0.6 million. During the six months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, Quanta recorded non-cash
compensation expense with respect to restricted stock in the
amount of $2.1 million and $3.0 million and a related
income tax benefit of $0.8 million and $1.2 million.
The fair value of the restricted stock is determined based on
the number of shares granted and the closing price of
Quantas common stock on the date of grant. The adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R) requires estimating future forfeitures
in determining the period expense, rather than recording
forfeitures when they occur as previously permitted. Quanta used
historical data to estimate the forfeiture rate. The effect of
estimating forfeitures in determining the period expense, rather
than recording forfeitures as they actually occurred, was not
significant.

During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, the
actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from vested
restricted stock totaled approximately $0.1 million and
$0.2 million. During the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2006, the actual tax benefit realized for the tax
deductions from vested restricted stock totaled approximately
$1.5 million and $4.2 million. This tax benefit is
reported as a cash inflow from financing activities and an
adjustment to net income to derive cash flow from operations
within the statement of cash flows for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, as required by
SFAS No. 123(R), and as stated above, prior periods
have not been adjusted in accordance with the modified
prospective method of application.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested
restricted stock granted to both employees and non-employees was
$12.9 million as of June 30, 2006. The unrecognized
compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The estimate of
unrecognized compensation cost uses the expected forfeiture
rate, and to the extent that Quanta revises that estimate in the
future, the estimate may not necessarily represent the value
that will ultimately be realized as compensation expense. As of
December 31, 2005, unrecognized compensation expense
related to nonvested shares of restricted stock granted to
employees was recorded as deferred compensation in
stockholders equity. As part of the adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), $6.4 million of deferred
compensation was reversed against additional paid-in capital
during the first quarter of 2006.
3. PER SHARE INFORMATION:
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period adjusted for all potentially dilutive common stock
equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the common
stock equivalent would be antidilutive. The weighted average
number of shares used to compute the basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2006 is illustrated below (in thousands):

QUANTA SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
approximately 0.2 million stock options were excluded from
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
options exercise prices were greater than the average
market price of Quantas common stock. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006, the effect of assuming
conversion of the 4.0% and 3.75% convertible subordinated
notes would be antidilutive, and the shares issuable upon
conversion of those notes were therefore excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per share.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005,
approximately 0.4 million and 0.5 million stock
options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
(loss) per share because the options exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of Quantas common
stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2005,
approximately 0.1 million stock options with exercise
prices lower than the average market price of Quantas
common stock were also excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings (loss) per share because the effect of including them
would have been antidilutive as Quanta incurred a net loss for
the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2005,
0.4 million shares of nonvested restricted stock were
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per
share as the impact would have been antidilutive. For the three
and six months ended June 30, 2005, the effect of assuming
conversion of the 4.0% and the 4.5% convertible subordinated
notes would be antidilutive, and the shares issuable upon
conversion were therefore excluded from the calculation of
diluted earnings per share.
On June 12, 2006, Quanta entered into an amended and
restated credit facility with various lenders which provides for
a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility
maturing on June 12, 2011 (the credit facility). The credit
facility amended and restated Quantas prior credit
facility. The entire amount of the credit facility is available
for the issuance of standby letters of credit. In addition,
subject to the conditions specified in the credit facility,
Quanta has the option to increase the revolving commitments
under the credit facility by up to an additional
$125.0 million from time to time upon receipt of additional
commitments from new or existing lenders. Borrowings under the
credit facility are to be used for working capital, capital
expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2006, Quanta had approximately
$124.4 million of letters of credit issued under the credit
facility and no outstanding revolving loans. The remaining
$175.6 million was available for revolving loans or issuing
new letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the credit
facility bear interest, at Quantas option, at a rate equal
to either (a) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the credit
facility) plus 1.25% to 1.875%, as determined by the ratio of
Quantas total funded debt to EBITDA, or (b) the base
rate (as described below) plus 0.25% to 0.875%, as determined by
the ratio of Quantas total funded debt to EBITDA. Letters
of credit issued under the credit facility are subject to a
letter of credit fee of 1.25% to 1.875%, based on the ratio of
Quantas total funded debt to EBITDA. Quanta is also
subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35%, based on the
ratio of its total funded debt to EBITDA, on any unused
availability under the credit facility. The base rate equals the
higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the
credit facility) plus
1/2
of 1% and (ii) the banks prime rate.
The credit facility contains certain covenants, including
covenants with respect to maximum funded debt to EBITDA, maximum
senior debt to EBITDA, minimum interest coverage and minimum
consolidated net worth, in each case as specified in the credit
facility. For purposes of calculating the maximum funded debt to
EBITDA ratio and the maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio,
Quantas maximum funded debt and maximum senior debt are
reduced by all cash and cash equivalents (as defined in the
credit facility) held by Quanta in excess of $25.0 million.
As of June 30, 2006, Quanta was in compliance with all of
its covenants. The credit facility also limits certain
acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, capital expenditures,
asset sales and prepayments of indebtedness and, subject to
certain exceptions, prohibits liens on material assets. The
11
QUANTA SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
credit facility also includes limits on the payment of dividends
and stock repurchase programs in any fiscal year to an annual
aggregate amount of up to 25% of Quantas consolidated net
income (plus the amount of non-cash charges that reduced such
consolidated net income) for the prior fiscal year. The credit
facility does not limit dividend payments or other distributions
payable solely in capital stock. The credit facility provides
for customary events of default and carries cross-default
provisions with all of Quantas existing subordinated
notes, its continuing indemnity and security agreement with its
surety and all of its other debt instruments exceeding
$10.0 million in borrowings. If an event of default (as
defined in the credit facility) occurs and is continuing, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the credit
facility, amounts outstanding under the credit facility may be
accelerated and may become or be declared immediately due and
payable.
The credit facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital
stock of Quantas U.S. subsidiaries, 65% of the
capital stock of its foreign subsidiaries and substantially all
of Quantas assets. Quantas U.S. subsidiaries
guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the credit
facility. Quantas obligations under the credit facility
constitute designated senior indebtedness under its 3.75%, 4.0%
and 4.5% convertible subordinated notes.
As of December 31, 2005, Quanta had a $182.0 million
credit facility with various lenders (the prior facility). The
prior facility was amended during the second quarter of 2006 to
permit, among other things, Quantas cash tender offer for
its 4.0% convertible subordinated notes and Quantas
issuance of its 3.75% convertible subordinated notes, each as
described below. The prior facility consisted of a
$147.0 million letter of credit facility maturing on
June 19, 2008, which also provided for term loans, and a
$35.0 million revolving credit facility which provided for
revolving loans and letters of credit and was scheduled to
mature on December 19, 2007. Upon the amendment and
restatement of Quantas credit facility, the obligations
under the prior facility were terminated, and related
unamortized debt issuance costs in the amount of approximately
$2.6 million were expensed in the second quarter of 2006
and included in interest expense. As of December 31, 2005,
Quanta had approximately $142.6 million of letters of
credit outstanding under the prior facility and
$7.5 million of the letter of credit facility outstanding
as a term loan.

4.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
As of June 30, 2006, Quanta had $33.3 million
aggregate principal amount of 4.0% convertible subordinated
notes (4.0% Notes) outstanding. The 4.0% Notes are
convertible into shares of Quantas common stock at a price
of $54.53 per share, subject to adjustment as a result of
certain events. The sale of the notes and the shares issuable
upon conversion thereof was registered by Quanta in a
registration statement filed with the SEC. The 4.0% Notes
require semi-annual interest payments on July 1 and
December 31 until the notes mature on July 1, 2007.
Quanta has the option to redeem some or all of the
4.0% Notes at specified redemption prices, together with
accrued and unpaid interest. If certain fundamental changes
occur, as described in the indenture under which Quanta issued
the 4.0% Notes, holders of the 4.0% Notes may require
Quanta to purchase all or part of the notes at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest. During the second quarter of 2006, Quanta conducted a
cash tender offer for all of the 4.0% Notes. The tender
offer expired on June 13, 2006 and, as a result of the
offer, $139.2 million of the 4.0% Notes were
repurchased, representing approximately 80.7% of the outstanding
4.0% Notes. As a result of the repurchase of a portion of
the 4.0% Notes, Quanta recorded a gain on early
extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.1 million, which
was partially offset by costs associated with the tender offer
of approximately $0.5 million. In addition, approximately
$0.7 million in related unamortized debt issuance costs
associated with the retirement of a portion of the tendered
4.0% Notes has been expensed and included in interest
expense. On July 1, 2006, Quanta reclassified the remaining
$33.3 million of the 4.0% Notes as a current
obligation as they will mature within the next twelve months.
The credit facility permits the repayment of these
4.0% Notes on or before maturity at Quantas sole
discretion.

4.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
As of June 30, 2006, Quanta had $270.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 4.5% convertible subordinated
notes (4.5% Notes) outstanding. The resale of the notes and
the shares issuable upon conversion thereof was registered for
the benefit of the holders in a shelf registration statement
filed with the SEC. The 4.5% Notes require semi-annual
interest payments on April 1 and October 1, until the
notes mature on October 1, 2023.
The 4.5% Notes are convertible into shares of Quantas
common stock based on an initial conversion rate of
89.7989 shares of Quantas common stock per $1,000
principal amount of 4.5% Notes (which is equal to an
initial conversion price of approximately $11.14 per
share), subject to adjustment as a result of certain events. The
4.5% Notes are convertible by the holder (i) during
any fiscal quarter if the last reported sale price of
Quantas common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of
the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period
of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first trading day
of such fiscal quarter, (ii) during the five business day
period after any five consecutive trading day period in which
the trading price per note for each day of that period was less
than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of
Quantas common stock and the conversion rate,
(iii) upon Quanta calling the notes for redemption or
(iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate
transactions. If the notes become convertible under any of these
circumstances, Quanta has the option to deliver cash, shares of
Quantas common stock or a combination thereof, with the
amount of cash determined in accordance with the terms of the
indenture under which the notes were issued. During the three
months ended June 30, 2006, the market price condition
described in clause (i) above was satisfied, and the notes
are presently convertible at the option of each holder. The
conversion period will expire on September 30, 2006, but
may resume upon the satisfaction of the market condition or
other conditions in future periods.
Beginning October 8, 2008, Quanta may redeem for cash some
or all of the 4.5% Notes at the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the
4.5% Notes may require Quanta to repurchase all or some of
the notes at the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest on October 1, 2008, 2013 or 2018, or upon
the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined by the
indenture. Quanta must pay any required repurchases on
October 1, 2008 in cash. For all other required
repurchases, Quanta has the option to deliver cash, shares of
its common stock or a combination thereof to satisfy its
repurchase obligation. Quanta presently does not anticipate
using stock to satisfy any future obligations. If Quanta were to
satisfy the obligation with shares of its common stock, the
number of shares delivered will equal the dollar amount to be
paid in common stock divided by 98.5% of the market price of
Quantas common stock, as defined by the indenture. The
number of shares to be issued under this circumstance is not
limited. The right to settle for shares of common stock can be
surrendered by Quanta. The 4.5% Notes carry cross-default
provisions with Quantas other debt instruments exceeding
$10.0 million in borrowings, which includes Quantas
existing credit facility.

|
|
3.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
During the second quarter of 2006, Quanta issued
$143.8 million aggregate principal amount of
3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2026
(3.75% Notes). The 3.75% Notes mature on
April 30, 2026 and bear interest at the annual rate of
3.75%, payable semi-annually on April 30 and
October 30, commencing on October 30, 2006.
The 3.75% Notes are convertible into Quantas common
stock, based on an initial conversion rate of
44.6229 shares of Quantas common stock per $1,000
principal amount of 3.75% Notes (which is equal to an
initial conversion price of approximately $22.41 per
share), subject to adjustment as a result of certain events. The
3.75% Notes are convertible by the holder (i) during
any fiscal quarter if the closing price of Quantas common
stock is greater than 130% of the conversion price for at least
20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days
ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding
fiscal quarter, (ii) upon
13

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Quanta calling the 3.75% Notes for redemption,
(iii) upon the occurrence of specified distributions to
holders of Quantas common stock or specified corporate
transactions or (iv) at any time on or after March 1,
2026 until the business day immediately preceding the maturity
date of the 3.75% Notes. If the 3.75% Notes become
convertible under any of these circumstances, Quanta has the
option to deliver cash, shares of Quantas common stock or
a combination thereof, with the amount of cash determined in
accordance with the terms of the indenture under which the notes
were issued. The holders of the 3.75% Notes who convert
their notes in connection with certain change in control
transactions, as defined in the indenture, may be entitled to a
make whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion
rate. In the event of a change in control, in lieu of paying
holders a make whole premium, if applicable, Quanta may elect,
in some circumstances, to adjust the conversion rate and related
conversion obligations so that the 3.75% Notes are
convertible into shares of the acquiring or surviving company.
The resale of the notes and the shares issuable upon conversion
thereof is required to be registered by Quanta for the benefit
of the holders in a registration statement which Quanta intends
to file with the SEC during the third quarter 2006.
Beginning on April 30, 2010 until April 30, 2013,
Quanta may redeem for cash all or part of the 3.75% Notes
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if the closing price of Quantas
common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion
price then in effect for the 3.75% Notes for at least 20 trading
days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the
trading day immediately prior to the date of mailing of the
notice of redemption. In addition, Quanta may redeem for cash
all or part of the 3.75% Notes at any time on or after
April 30, 2010 at certain redemption prices, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Beginning with the six-month interest
period commencing on April 30, 2010, and for each six-month
interest period thereafter, Quanta would be required to pay
contingent interest on any outstanding 3.75% Notes during
the applicable interest period if the average trading price of
the 3.75% Notes reaches a specified threshold. The
contingent interest payable within any applicable interest
period will equal an annual rate of 0.25% of the average trading
price of the 3.75% Notes during a five trading day
reference period.
The holders of the 3.75% Notes may require Quanta to
repurchase all or a part of the notes in cash on each of
April 30, 2013, April 30, 2016 and April 30,
2021, and in the event of a change in control of Quanta, as
defined in the indenture, at a purchase price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the 3.75% Notes plus accrued and
unpaid interest. The 3.75% Notes carry cross-default
provisions with Quantas other debt instruments exceeding
$20.0 million in borrowings, which includes Quantas
existing credit facility.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R),
effective January 1, 2006, discussed previously, upon
issuance of the restricted stock, pursuant to the 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan, an unamortized compensation expense equivalent
to the market value of the shares on the date of grant was
charged to stockholders equity as deferred compensation
and amortized over the restriction period as non-cash
compensation expense. Effective with the adoption of
SFAS No. 123 (R), deferred compensation is no
longer recorded and the amount recorded as of December 31,
2005, $6.4 million, was reversed against additional paid in
capital in the first quarter of 2006.
Pursuant to the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, employees may elect
to satisfy their tax withholding obligations upon vesting of
restricted stock by having Quanta make such tax payments and
withhold a number of vested shares having a value on the date of
vesting equal to their tax withholding obligation. As a result
of such employee elections, during the first six months of 2006,
Quanta withheld 362,095 shares with a total market value of
$5.0 million, to satisfy the tax withholding obligations,
and these shares were accounted for as treasury stock.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: |
Quanta is from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims
and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. These actions typically seek, among other things,
compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract
and/or property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or
other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect
to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, Quanta records
reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Quanta does
not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in the
aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect
on Quantas financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
As of June 30, 2006, Quanta is insured for employers
liability and general liability claims, subject to a deductible
of $1.0 million per occurrence and for auto liability and
workers compensation claims, subject to a deductible of
$2.0 million per occurrence. Quanta also has a non-union
employee health care benefits plan that is subject to a
deductible of $250,000 per claimant per year. Losses are
accrued based upon Quantas estimates of the ultimate
liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred
but not reported, with assistance from a third-party actuary.
The accruals are based upon known facts and historical trends
and management believes such accruals to be adequate. As of
December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, the gross amount
accrued for self-insurance claims totaled $99.5 million and
$104.5 million, with $64.4 million and
$67.5 million considered to be long-term and included in
other non-current liabilities. Related insurance
recoveries/receivables as of December 31, 2005 and
June 30, 2006 were $6.3 million and $6.6 million,

Quantas casualty insurance carrier for the policy periods
from August 1, 2000 to February 28, 2003 is
experiencing financial distress but is currently paying valid
claims. In the event that this insurers financial
situation deteriorates, Quanta may be required to pay certain
obligations that otherwise would have been paid by this insurer.
Quanta estimates that the total future claim amount that this
insurer is currently obligated to pay on Quantas behalf
for the above-mentioned policy periods is approximately
$5.0 million, and Quanta has recorded a receivable and
corresponding liability for such amount as of June 30,
2006. However, Quantas estimate of the potential range of
these future claim amounts is between $4.0 million and
$10.0 million. The actual amounts ultimately paid by Quanta
related to these claims, if any, may vary materially from the
above range and could be impacted by further claims development
and the extent to which the insurer could not honor its
obligations. Quanta continues to monitor the financial situation
of this insurer and analyze any alternative actions that could
be pursued. In any event, Quanta does not expect any failure by
this insurer to honor its obligations to Quanta, or any
alternative actions Quanta may pursue, to have a material
adverse impact on Quantas financial condition; however,
the impact could be material to Quantas results of
operations or cash flows in a given period.
In certain circumstances, Quanta is required to provide
performance bonds in connection with its contractual
commitments. Quanta has indemnified the surety for any expenses
paid out under these performance bonds. As of June 30,
2006, the total amount of outstanding performance bonds was
approximately $558.2 million.
Quanta leases certain land, buildings and equipment under
non-cancelable lease agreements, including related party leases.
The terms of these agreements vary from lease to lease,
including some with renewal options and escalation clauses. The
following schedule shows the future minimum lease payments under
these leases as of June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

Quanta has guaranteed the residual value on certain of its
equipment operating leases. Quanta guarantees the difference
between this residual value and the fair market value of the
underlying asset at the date of termination of the leases. At
June 30, 2006, the maximum guaranteed residual value was
approximately $95.1 million. Quanta believes that no
significant payments will be made as a result of the difference
between the fair market value of the leased equipment and the
guaranteed residual value. However, there can be no assurance
that future significant payments will not be required.

As of June 30, 2006, Quanta had capital lease obligations
of $0.4 million included within current maturities of
long-term debt.
Quanta has entered into various employment agreements with
certain executives which provide for compensation and certain
other benefits and for severance payments under certain
circumstances. In addition, certain employment agreements
contain clauses that become effective upon a change of control
of Quanta. Upon the occurrence of any of the defined events in
the various employment agreements, Quanta will pay certain
amounts to the employee, which vary with the level of the
employees responsibility.

|
Collective Bargaining Agreements |
Certain of the subsidiaries are party to various collective
bargaining agreements with certain of their employees. The
agreements require such subsidiaries to pay specified wages and
provide certain benefits to their union employees. These
agreements expire at various times.
Quanta has received federal tax refunds in the amounts of
$38.1 million in 2003 and $30.2 million in 2004 from
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) due to the carry back of
taxable losses reported on Quantas 2002 and 2003 income
tax returns. The IRS is required by law to review Quantas
refund claims. As a result, Quanta is currently under audit for
tax years 2000 through 2004. Quanta fully cooperates with all
audits, but defends existing positions vigorously. To provide
for potential tax exposures, Quanta maintains an allowance for
tax contingencies, which management believes is adequate. As of
December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006 the amounts
accrued for tax contingencies totaled $67.5 million and
$72.9 million, with $46.8 and $51.1 million considered
to be long-term and included in other non-current liabilities.
The results of future audit assessments, if any, could have a
material effect on Quantas cash flows during the periods
in which these audits are settled. However, management does not
believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse
effect on Quantas consolidated results of operations.
Quanta has indemnified various parties against specified
liabilities that those parties might incur in the future in
connection with Quantas previous acquisitions of certain
companies. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the
other party incurring liabilities that reach specified
thresholds. As of June 30, 2006, Quanta is not aware of
circumstances that would lead to future indemnity claims against
it for material amounts in connection with these transactions.

Item 2. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and with
our Annual Report on
Form 10-K, which
was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2006 and is available on
the SECs website at www.sec.gov. The discussion below
contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our
current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes
in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or
unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in
Uncertainty of Forward-Looking Statements and
Information.
Introduction
We are a leading national provider of specialty contracting
services, offering
end-to-end network
solutions to the electric power, gas, telecommunications, cable
television and specialty services industries. We believe that we
are the largest contractor servicing the transmission and
distribution sector of the North American electric utility
industry. We derive our revenues from one reportable segment.
Our customers include electric power, gas, telecommunications
and cable television companies, as well as commercial,
industrial and governmental entities. We had consolidated
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of
approximately $1.01 billion, of which 66.3% was
attributable to electric power and gas customers, 15.3% to
telecommunications and cable television customers and 18.4% to
ancillary services, such as inside electrical wiring,
intelligent traffic networks, cable and control systems for
light rail lines, airports and highways, and specialty rock
trenching, directional boring and road milling for industrial
and commercial customers.
Our customers include many of the leading companies in the
industries we serve. We have developed strong strategic
alliances with numerous customers and strive to develop and
maintain our status as a preferred vendor to our customers. We
enter into various types of contracts, including competitive
unit price, hourly rate, cost-plus (or time and materials
basis), and fixed price (or lump sum basis), the final terms and
prices of which we frequently negotiate with the customer.
Although the terms of our contracts vary considerably, most are
made on either a unit price or fixed price basis in which we
agree to do the work for a price per unit of work performed
(unit price) or for a fixed amount for the entire project (fixed
price). We complete a substantial majority of our fixed price
projects within one year, while we frequently provide
maintenance and repair work under open-ended unit price or
cost-plus master service agreements that are renewable annually.
Some of our customers require us to post performance and payment
bonds upon execution of the contract, depending upon the nature
of the work to be performed.
We generally recognize revenue on our unit price and cost-plus
contracts when units are completed or services are performed.
For our fixed price contracts, we typically record revenues as
work on the contract progresses on a
percentage-of-completion
basis. Under this valuation method, revenue is recognized based
on the percentage of total costs incurred to date in proportion
to total estimated costs to complete the contract. Fixed price
contracts generally include retainage provisions under which a
percentage of the contract price is withheld until the project
is complete and has been accepted by our customer.
Seasonality; Fluctuations of Results
Our revenues and results of operations can be subject to
seasonal variations. These variations are influenced by weather,
customer spending patterns, bidding seasons and holidays.
Typically, our revenues are lowest in the first quarter of the
year because cold, snowy or wet conditions cause delays. The
second quarter is typically better than the first, as some
projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often
impact second quarter productivity. The third quarter is
typically the best of the year, as a greater number of projects
are underway and weather is more accommodating to work on
projects. Revenues during the fourth quarter of the year are
typically lower than the third quarter but higher than the
second quarter. Many projects are completed in the fourth
quarter and revenues often are impacted positively by customers
seeking to spend their capital budget before the end of the
year; however, the holiday season and inclement weather
sometimes can cause delays.
18
Additionally, our industry can be highly cyclical. As a result,
our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in
new projects in various geographic regions in the United States.
The financial condition of our customers and their access to
capital, variations in the margins of projects performed during
any particular quarter, regional economic conditions, timing of
acquisitions and the timing and magnitude of acquisition
assimilation costs may also materially affect quarterly results.
Accordingly, our operating results in any particular quarter or
year may not be indicative of the results that can be expected
for any other quarter or for any other year. You should read
Outlook and Understanding Gross
Margins for additional discussion of trends and
challenges that may affect our financial condition and results
of operations.
Understanding Gross Margins
Our gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of
revenues. Cost of services consists primarily of salaries, wages
and benefits to employees, depreciation, fuel and other
equipment expenses, equipment rentals, subcontracted services,
insurance, facilities expenses, materials and parts and
supplies. Various factors some controllable, some
not impact our gross margins on a quarterly or
annual basis.
Seasonal and Geographical. As discussed above, seasonal
patterns can have a significant impact on gross margins.
Generally, business is slower in the winter months versus the
warmer months of the year. This can be offset somewhat by
increased demand for electrical service and repair work
resulting from severe weather. In addition, the mix of business
conducted in different parts of the country will affect margins,
as some parts of the country offer the opportunity for higher
gross margins than others.
Weather. Adverse or favorable weather conditions can
impact gross margins in a given period. For example, it is
typical in the first quarter of any fiscal year that parts of
the country may experience snow or rainfall that may negatively
impact our revenue and gross margin. In many cases, projects may
be delayed or temporarily placed on hold due to inclement
weather. Conversely, in periods when weather remains dry and
temperatures are accommodating, more work can be done, sometimes
with less cost, which would have a favorable impact on gross
margins. In some cases, strong storms or hurricanes can provide
us with high margin emergency service restoration work, which
generally has a positive impact on margins.
Revenue Mix. The mix of revenue derived from the
industries we serve will impact gross margins. Changes in our
customers spending patterns in each of the industries we
serve can cause an imbalance in supply and demand and,
therefore, affect margins and mix of revenue by industry served.
Service and Maintenance versus Installation. In general,
installation work has a higher gross margin than maintenance
work. This is because installation work is often obtained on a
fixed price basis which has higher risk than other types of
pricing arrangements. We typically derive approximately 50% of
our revenue from maintenance work, which is performed under
pre-established or negotiated prices or cost-plus pricing
arrangements. Thus, a higher portion of installation work in a
given quarter may result in a higher gross margin.
Subcontract Work. Work that is subcontracted to other
service providers generally has lower gross margins. An increase
in subcontract work in a given period may contribute to a
decrease in gross margin. We typically subcontract approximately
10% - 15% of our work to other service providers.
Materials versus Labor. Margins may be lower on projects
on which we furnish materials as material prices are generally
more predictable than labor costs. Consequently, we generally
are not able to mark up materials as much as labor costs. In a
given period, a higher percentage of work that has a higher
materials component may decrease overall gross margin.
Depreciation. We include depreciation in cost of
services. This is common practice in our industry, but can make
comparability to other companies difficult. This must be taken
into consideration when comparing us to other companies.
Insurance. Gross margins could be impacted by
fluctuations in insurance accruals related to our deductibles in
the period in which such adjustments are made. As of
June 30, 2006, we had a deductible of $1.0 million per
occurrence related to employers and general liability
insurance and a deductible of
19
$2.0 million per occurrence for automobile liability and
workers compensation insurance. We also have a non-union
employee health care benefit plan that is subject to a
deductible of $250,000 per claimant per year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily
of compensation and related benefits to management,
administrative salaries and benefits, incentive bonuses,
marketing, office rent and utilities, communications,
professional fees, bad debt expense, letter of credit fees and
gains and losses on the sale of property and equipment.

Three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2005 |
Revenues. Revenues increased $74.8 million, or
17.0%, to $514.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, with revenues derived from the electric
power and gas network services industry increasing by
$61.9 million, revenues from the telecommunications and
cable television network services industry increasing by
approximately $12.8 million and revenues from ancillary
services remaining relatively constant. The increase in revenues
is a result of a higher volume of work from increased spending
by our customers resulting from the continued improving
financial health of our customers and improved pricing.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased $26.5 million,
or 49.3%, to $80.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin
increased from 12.3% for the three months ended June 30,
2005 to 15.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
This increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to
higher margins on work from our electric power and gas network
services customers due to continued strengthening market
conditions. In addition, we achieved higher margins on certain
jobs due to better productivity and cost control as well as
improved overall fixed cost absorption as a result of higher
revenues.
20
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million
or 6.3% to $46.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 10.0% to
9.0%. The $2.8 million increase was primarily due to
$5.4 million in increased salaries and benefits costs
associated with increased personnel, cost of living adjustments
and increased performance bonuses, as well as $0.7 million
in increased bad debt expense. Offsetting these increases was a
decrease in professional fees of $3.5 million. Last
years second quarter was negatively impacted by
$1.7 million in costs associated with our margin
enhancement program as well as $0.6 million associated
costs with specific bidding activity. The remaining decrease in
professional fees is due to higher legal costs from ongoing
litigation in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the
second quarter of 2006.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months
ended 2006 increased $3.9 million as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to the expensing
of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million. We
replaced our prior credit facility in June 2006 and expensed the
remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs of
$2.6 million. In addition, we expensed approximately 80.7%
or $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related
to the 4.0% convertible subordinated notes repurchased
during the second quarter of 2006. The remaining increase in
interest expense was due to a timing difference between the
issuance of the 3.75% convertible subordinated notes during
the second quarter of 2006 and use of those proceeds to affect
the tender offer for the 4.0% convertible subordinated
notes in the second quarter of 2006.
Interest income. Interest income was $3.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to
$1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
The increase is primarily due to a higher average cash balance
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 as well as higher overall
interest rates. Included in these higher average cash balances
is the effect of the timing difference between the issuance of
the 3.75% convertible subordinated notes during the second
quarter of 2006 and use of those proceeds to affect the tender
offer for the 4.0% convertible subordinated notes in the
second quarter of 2006.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income
taxes was $11.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, with an effective tax rate of 38.5%,
compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2005, with an effective tax rate of
42.7%. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 primarily results from the recording of a
$1.6 million refund related to the settlement of a
multi-year state tax claim.
|
|
|
Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2005 |
Revenues. Revenues increased $198.8 million, or
24.5%, to $1.01 billion for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, with revenues derived from the electric
power and gas network services industry increasing by
approximately $145.5 million, revenues from the
telecommunications and cable television network services
industry increasing by approximately $27.0 million and
revenues from ancillary services increasing by approximately
$26.3 million. The increase in revenues is a result of a
higher volume of work from increased spending by our customers
resulting from their continued improving financial health,
favorable weather conditions experienced during the first
quarter and greater demand for all the primary services we offer.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased $49.9 million,
or 55.5%, to $139.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin
increased from 11.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2005
to 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Consistent
with second quarter results, the increase in margins for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 over the six months ended
June 30, 2005 is attributable to higher margins on work
from our electric power and gas network services customers, due
to continued strengthening market conditions. In addition, we
achieved higher margins on certain jobs due to better
productivity and cost control and relatively mild weather as
compared to the first half of 2005, which was negatively
impacted by cost overruns and weather delays on certain projects
during the first quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million,
or 3.0%, to $88.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 10.7% to 8.8%
for the six months ended June 30,
21
2006. The $2.6 million increase was primarily due to
$7.4 million in increased salaries and benefits costs
associated with increased personnel, costs of living adjustments
and increased performance bonuses, as well as $0.4 million
in increased bad debt expense and $0.5 million in increased
travel expenditures. Partially offsetting the increases was a
decrease in professional fees of $5.1 million. For the six
months ended June 30, 2005, professional fees included
costs associated with our margin enhancement program of
$2.8 million as well as $0.6 million associated with
specific bidding activity. The remaining decrease in
professional fees is due to higher legal costs from ongoing
litigation in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months
ended of June 30, 2006 increased $3.8 million as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily
due to the expensed of unamortized debt issuance costs of
$3.3 million. We replaced our prior credit facility and
expensing the remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance
costs of $2.6 million. In addition, we expensed
approximately 80.7% or $0.7 million of unamortized debt
issuance costs related to the 4.0% convertible subordinated
notes repurchased during the second quarter of 2006. The
remaining increase in interest expense was due to a timing
difference between the issuance of the 3.75% convertible
subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2006 and use of
those proceeds to affect the tender offer for the
4.0% convertible subordinated notes in the second quarter
of 2006.
Interest income. Interest income was $3.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase in interest income primarily relates to a higher
average cash balance and higher average interest rates for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2005. Included in these higher
average cash balances is the effect of the timing difference
between the issuance of the 3.75% convertible subordinated
notes during the second quarter of 2006 and use of those
proceeds to affect the tender offer for the
4.0% convertible subordinated notes in the second quarter
of 2006.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The benefit for
income taxes was $3.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2005, with an effective tax rate of 63.4%,
compared to a provision of $17.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006, with an effective tax rate of 40.9%.
The lower effective tax rate for 2006 results from higher
projected income for 2006 as compared to projected income for
2005 as well as the recording of a $1.6 million refund
related to the settlement of a multi-year state tax claim.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash on hand and short-term investments
(as restated), which together totaled $309.5 million as of
June 30, 2006, the availability under our credit facility
and our future cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
enable us to meet our future operating needs, debt service
requirements, and planned capital expenditures and to ensure our
future ability to grow. We began to invest in variable rate
demand notes during 2006. These instruments have long-term
scheduled maturities, but provide the option to tender to a
third-party liquidity provider at any time with seven days
notice and are therefore classified as short-term investments.
Momentum in deployment of fiber to the premises or initiatives
to rebuild the United States electric power grid may require a
significant amount of additional working capital. However, we
feel that we have adequate cash, short-term investments and
availability under our credit facility to meet such needs.
As of June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents (as
restated) of $37.4 million, short-term investments (as
restated) of $272.2 million, working capital of
$613.9 million and long-term debt of $447.0 million,
net of current maturities. Our long-term debt balance at that
date included $447.0 million of convertible subordinated
notes. We also had $124.4 million of letters of credit
outstanding under our credit facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, operating
activities provided net cash to us of $32.5 million. Cash
flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our
services, operating margins and the type
22
of services we provide. In accordance with the adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), as discussed in Note 2 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the tax benefit
from stock-based equity awards is recorded as an adjustment to
net income in the operating section of the statements of cash
flows; therefore, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a
$4.6 million tax benefit from stock-based equity awards has
been recorded as a reduction to cash flows from operations. We
used net cash in investing activities (as restated) of
$296.9 million, including $272.2 million in net
purchases of short-term investments and $29.3 million used
for capital expenditures, offset by $4.6 million of
proceeds from the sale of equipment. Financing activities used
net cash flow of $2.5 million, resulting primarily from a
payment of $5.7 million in debt issuance costs, a
$7.5 million repayment under the term loan portion of our
prior credit facility together with $1.4 million in net
repayments of other long-term debt, partially offset by
$6.6 million in net borrowings from the repurchase of our
4.0% convertible subordinated notes and the issuance of our
3.75% convertible subordinated notes as discussed below, coupled
with $4.6 million in tax benefits from stock-based equity
awards and $0.8 million received from the exercise of stock
options.
On June 12, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated
credit facility with various lenders which provides for a
$300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility
maturing on June 12, 2011 (the credit facility). The credit
facility amended and restated our prior credit facility. The
entire amount of the credit facility is available for the
issuance of standby letters of credit. In addition, subject to
the conditions specified in the credit facility, we have the
option to increase the revolving commitments under the credit
facility by up to an additional $125.0 million from time to
time upon receipt of additional commitments from new or existing
lenders. Borrowings under the credit facility are to be used for
working capital, capital expenditures and for other general
corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately
$124.4 million of letters of credit issued under the credit
facility and no outstanding revolving loans. The remaining
$175.6 million was available for revolving loans or issuing
new letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the credit
facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either
(a) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the credit facility)
plus 1.25% to 1.875%, as determined by the ratio of our total
funded debt to EBITDA, or (b) the base rate (as described
below) plus 0.25% to 0.875%, as determined by the ratio of our
total funded debt to EBITDA. Letters of credit issued under the
credit facility are subject to a letter of credit fee of 1.25%
to 1.875%, based on the ratio of our total funded debt to
EBITDA. We are also subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% to
0.35%, based on the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA, on
any unused availability under the credit facility. The base rate
equals the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined
in the credit facility) plus
1/2
of 1% and (ii) the banks prime rate.
The credit facility contains certain covenants, including
covenants with respect to maximum funded debt to EBITDA, maximum
senior debt to EBITDA, minimum interest coverage and minimum
consolidated net worth, in each case as specified in the credit
facility. For purposes of calculating the maximum funded debt to
EBITDA ratio and the maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio, our
maximum funded debt and maximum senior debt are reduced by all
cash and cash equivalents (as defined in the credit facility)
held by us in excess of $25.0 million. As of June 30,
2006, we were in compliance with all of our covenants. The
credit facility also limits certain acquisitions, mergers and
consolidations, capital expenditures, asset sales and
prepayments of indebtedness and, subject to certain exceptions,
prohibits liens on material assets. The credit facility also
includes limits on the payment of dividends and stock repurchase
programs in any fiscal year to an annual aggregate amount of up
to 25% of our consolidated net income (plus the amount of
non-cash charges that reduced such consolidated net income) for
the prior fiscal year. The credit facility does not limit
dividend payments or other distributions payable solely in
capital stock. The credit facility provides for customary events
of default and carries cross-default provisions with all of our
existing subordinated notes, our continuing indemnity and
security agreement with our surety and all of our other debt
instruments exceeding $10.0 million in borrowings. If an
event of default (as defined in the credit facility) occurs and
is continuing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the credit facility, amounts outstanding under the
credit facility may be accelerated and may become or be declared
immediately due and payable.
23
The credit facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital
stock of our U.S. subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of
its foreign subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets.
Our U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the repayment of all
amounts due under the credit facility. Our obligations under the
credit facility constitute designated senior indebtedness under
our 3.75%, 4.0% and 4.5% convertible subordinated notes.
As of December 31, 2005, we had a $182.0 million
credit facility with various lenders (the prior facility). The
prior facility was amended during the second quarter of 2006 to
permit, among other things, our cash tender offer for our 4.0%
convertible subordinated notes and the issuance of our 3.75%
convertible subordinated notes, each as described below. The
prior facility consisted of a $147.0 million letter of
credit facility maturing on June 19, 2008, which also
provided for term loans, and a $35.0 million revolving
credit facility which provided for revolving loans and letters
of credit and was scheduled to mature on December 19, 2007.
Upon the amendment and restatement of our credit facility, the
obligations under the prior facility were terminated, and
related unamortized debt issuance costs in the amount of
approximately $2.6 million were expensed in the second
quarter of 2006 and included in interest expense. As of
December 31, 2005, we had approximately $142.6 million
of letters of credit outstanding under the prior credit facility
and $7.5 million of the letter of credit facility
outstanding as a term loan.

4.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
As of June 30, 2006, we had $33.3 million aggregate
principal amount of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes
(4.0% Notes) outstanding. The 4.0% Notes are
convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of
$54.53 per share, subject to adjustment as a result of
certain events. The sale of the notes and the shares issuable
upon conversion thereof was registered in a registration
statement filed with the SEC. The 4.0% Notes require
semi-annual interest payments on July 1 and
December 31 until the notes mature on July 1, 2007. We
have the option to redeem some or all of the 4.0% Notes at
specified redemption prices, together with accrued and unpaid
interest. If certain fundamental changes occur, as described in
the indenture under which we issued the 4.0% Notes, holders
of the 4.0% Notes may require us to purchase all or part of
the notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. During the second
quarter of 2006, we conducted a cash tender offer for all of the
4.0% Notes. The tender offer expired on June 13, 2006
and, as a result of the offer, $139.2 million of the
4.0% Notes were repurchased, representing approximately
80.7% of outstanding 4.0% Notes. As a result of the
repurchase of a portion of the 4.0% Notes, we recorded a
gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$2.1 million, which was partially offset by costs
associated with the tender offer of approximately
$0.5 million. In addition, approximately $0.7 million
in related unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the
retirement of a portion of the repurchased 4.0% Notes has
been expensed and included in interest expense. On July 1,
2006, Quanta reclassified the remaining $33.3 million of
the 4.0% Notes as a current obligation as they will mature
within the next twelve months. The credit facility permits the
repayment of these 4.0% Notes on or before maturity at
Quantas sole discretion.

|
|
4.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
As of June 30, 2006, we had $270.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 4.5% convertible subordinated notes
(4.5% Notes) outstanding. The resale of the notes and the
shares issuable upon conversion thereof was registered for the
benefit of the holders in a shelf registration statement filed
with the SEC. The 4.5% Notes require semi-annual interest
payments on April 1 and October 1 until the notes
mature on October 1, 2023.
The 4.5% Notes are convertible into shares of our common
stock based on an initial conversion rate of 89.7989 shares
of Quantas common stock per $1,000 principal amount of
4.5% Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price
of approximately $11.14 per share), subject to adjustment
as a result of certain events. The 4.5% Notes are
convertible by the holder (i) during any fiscal quarter if
the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than
or equal to 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading
days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the
first trading day of such fiscal quarter, (ii) during the
five business day period after any five consecutive trading day
period in which the trading price per note for each day of that
period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported
sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate,
(iii) upon us calling the notes for redemption or
(iv) upon the occurrence of specified
24
corporate transactions. If the notes become convertible under
any of these circumstances, we have the option to deliver cash,
shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, with the
amount of cash determined in accordance with the terms of the
indenture under which the notes were issued. During the second
quarter of 2006, the market price condition described in
clause (i) above was satisfied, and the notes are presently
convertible at the option of each holder. The conversion period
will expire on September 30, 2006, but may resume upon the
satisfaction of the market condition or other conditions in
future periods.
Beginning October 8, 2008, we can redeem for cash some or
all of the 4.5% Notes at the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 4.5% Notes
may require us to repurchase all or some of their notes at the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on
October 1, 2008, 2013 or 2018, or upon the occurrence of a
fundamental change, as defined by the indenture under which we
issued the notes. We must pay any required repurchase on
October 1, 2008 in cash. For all other required
repurchases, we have the option to deliver cash, shares of our
common stock or a combination thereof to satisfy our repurchase
obligation. We presently do not anticipate using stock to
satisfy any future repurchase obligations. If we were to satisfy
the obligation with shares of our common stock, the number of
shares delivered would equal the dollar amount to be paid in
common stock divided by 98.5% of the market price of our common
stock, as defined by the indenture. The number of shares to be
issued under this circumstance is not limited. The right to
settle for shares of common stock can be surrendered by us. The
4.5% Notes carry cross-default provisions with our other
debt instruments exceeding $10.0 million in borrowings,
which includes our existing credit facility.

|
|
3.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes |
During the second quarter of 2006, we issued $143.8 million
aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible
subordinated notes due 2026 (3.75% Notes). The
3.75% Notes mature on April 30, 2026 and bear interest
at the annual rate of 3.75%, payable semi-annually on
April 30 and October 30, commencing on
October 30, 2006.
The 3.75% Notes are convertible into our common stock,
based on an initial conversion rate of 44.6229 shares of
our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Notes
(which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately
$22.41 per share), subject to adjustment as a result of
certain events. The 3.75% Notes are convertible by the
holder (i) during any fiscal quarter if the closing price
of our common stock is greater than 130% of the conversion price
for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately
preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) upon our calling the
3.75% Notes for redemption, (iii) upon the occurrence
of specified distributions to holders of our common stock or
specified corporate transactions or (iv) at any time on or
after March 1, 2026 until the business day immediately
preceding the maturity date of the 3.75% Notes. If the
3.75% Notes become convertible under any of these
circumstances, we have the option to deliver cash, shares of our
common stock or a combination thereof, with the amount of cash
determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture under
which the notes were issued. The holders of the 3.75% Notes
who convert their notes in connection with certain change in
control transactions, as defined in the indenture, may be
entitled to a make whole premium in the form of an increase in
the conversion rate. In the event of a change in control, in
lieu of paying holders a make whole premium, if applicable, we
may elect, in some circumstances, to adjust the conversion rate
and related conversion obligations so that the 3.75% Notes
are convertible into shares of the acquiring or surviving
company. The resale of the notes and the shares issuable upon
conversion thereof is required to be registered by us for the
benefit of the holders in a registration statement which we
intend to file with the SEC during the third quarter of 2006.
Beginning on April 30, 2010 until April 30, 2013, we
may redeem for cash all or part of the 3.75% Notes at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if the closing price of our common stock is
equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price then in
effect for the 3.75% Notes for at least 20 trading
days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the
trading day immediately prior to the date of mailing of the
notice of redemption. In addition, we may redeem for cash all or
part of the 3.75% Notes at any time on or after
April 30, 2010 at certain redemption prices, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Beginning with the six-month interest
period commencing on April 30, 2010, and for each six-month
25
interest period thereafter, we will pay contingent interest
during the applicable interest period if the average trading
price of the 3.75% Notes reaches a specified threshold. The
contingent interest payable within any applicable interest
period will equal an annual rate of 0.25% of the average trading
price of the 3.75% Notes during a five trading day
reference period.
The holders of the 3.75% Notes may require us to repurchase
all or a part of the notes in cash on each of April 30,
2013, April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2021, and in the
event of a change in control, as defined in the indenture, at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
3.75% Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The
3.75% Notes carry cross-default provisions with our other
debt instruments exceeding $20.0 million in borrowings,
which includes our existing credit facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain
off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of
business that result in risks not directly reflected in our
balance sheets. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions
include liabilities associated with non-cancelable operating
leases, letter of credit obligations and surety guarantees. We
have not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements
through special purpose entities.
We enter into non-cancelable operating leases for many of our
facility, vehicle and equipment needs. These leases allow us to
conserve cash by paying a monthly lease rental fee for use of
facilities, vehicles and equipment rather than purchasing them.
We may decide to cancel or terminate a lease before the end of
its term, in which case we are typically liable to the lessor
for the remaining lease payments under the term of the lease.
We have guaranteed the residual value of the underlying assets
under certain of our equipment operating leases at the date of
termination of such leases. We have agreed to pay any difference
between this residual value and the fair market value of each
underlying asset as of the lease termination date. As of
June 30, 2006, the maximum guaranteed residual value was
approximately $95.1 million. We believe that no significant
payments will be made as a result of the difference between the
fair market value of the leased equipment and the guaranteed
residual value. However, there can be no assurance that future
significant payments will not be required.
Certain of our vendors require letters of credit to ensure
reimbursement for amounts they are disbursing on our behalf,
such as to beneficiaries under our self-funded insurance
programs. In addition, from time to time some customers require
us to post letters of credit to ensure payment to our
subcontractors and vendors under those contracts and to
guarantee performance under our contracts. Such letters of
credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial
institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay
specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the
holder demonstrates that we have failed to perform specified
actions. If this were to occur, we would be required to
reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the
circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to
record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. We do not
believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a
letter of credit in the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2006, we had $124.4 million in letters
of credit outstanding under our credit facility primarily to
secure obligations under our casualty insurance program. These
are irrevocable stand-by letters of credit with maturities
expiring at various times throughout 2006. Upon maturity, it is
expected that the majority of these letters of credit will be
renewed for subsequent one-year periods.
26
Many customers, particularly in connection with new
construction, require us to post performance and payment bonds
issued by a financial institution known as a surety. These bonds
provide a guarantee to the customer that we will perform under
the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and
vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay
subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the
surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must
reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs.
Under our continuing indemnity and security agreement with the
surety, we have posted letters of credit in the amount of
$15.0 million in favor of the surety and, with the consent
of our lenders under our credit facility, we have granted
security interests in certain of our assets to collateralize our
obligations to the surety. We may be required to post additional
letters of credit or other collateral in favor of the surety or
our customers in the future. Posting letters of credit in favor
of the surety or our customers also will reduce the borrowing
availability under our credit facility. To date, we have not
been required to make any reimbursements to the surety for
bond-related costs. We believe that it is unlikely that we will
have to fund significant claims under our surety arrangements in
the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2006, an aggregate
of approximately $558.2 million in original face amount of
bonds issued by the surety were outstanding. Our estimated cost
to complete these bonded projects was approximately
$139.5 million as of June 30, 2006.

Excluded from the above table is interest associated with
borrowings under the credit facility because both the amount
borrowed and applicable interest rate are variable. As of
June 30, 2006, we had no borrowings under our credit
facility. In addition, our multi-employer pension plan
contributions are determined annually based on our union
employee payrolls, which cannot be determined for future periods
in advance.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without
collateral, to our customers, which include electric power and
gas companies, telecommunications and cable television system
operators, governmental entities, general contractors, and
builders, owners and managers of commercial and industrial
properties located primarily in the United States. Consequently,
we are subject to potential credit risk related to changes in
business and economic factors throughout the United States.
However, we generally have certain statutory lien rights with
respect to services provided. Under certain circumstances such
as foreclosures or negotiated settlements, we may take title to
the underlying assets in lieu of cash in settlement of
receivables. No customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts
receivable as of June 30, 2006 or revenues for the three or
six months ended June 30, 2006.
Litigation
We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and
other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. These actions typically seek, among other things,
compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract
and/or, property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or
other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect
to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We
27
do not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in
the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Related Party Transactions
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions
from time to time with related parties. These transactions
typically take the form of facility leases with prior owners of
certain acquired companies.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments An Amendment of
FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155
provides entities with relief from having to separately
determine the fair value of an embedded derivative that would
otherwise be required to be bifurcated from its host contract in
accordance with SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 allows an
entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid
financial instrument at fair value in its entirety, with changes
in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 155 is
effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or
subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning
of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. We anticipate that the adoption of SFAS
No. 155 will not have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation
(FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB
Statement 109. FIN No. 48 prescribes a
comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and
disclosing uncertain tax positions within financial statements.
The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently
analyzing the provisions of FIN No. 48 and have not
yet made a determination of the impact the adoption will have on
our consolidated financial positions, results of operations and
cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations are based on our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We
evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance
that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Management has reviewed its development and selection of
critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of our
board of directors. We believe the following accounting policies
affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when services
are performed except when work is being performed under a fixed
price contract. Revenues from fixed price contracts are
recognized using the
percentage-of-completion
method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to
total estimated costs for each contract. Such contracts
generally provide that the customer accept completion of
progress to date and compensate us for services rendered,
measured typically in terms of units installed, hours expended
or some other measure of progress. Contract costs typically
include all direct material, labor and subcontract costs and
those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as
indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.
Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions,
estimated profitability and final contract settlements may
result in revisions to costs and income and their effects are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. |
|
|
Self-Insurance. We are insured for employers
liability and general liability claims, subject to a deductible
of $1.0 million per occurrence, and for auto liability and
workers compensation subject to a deductible of
$2.0 million per occurrence. We also have a non-union
employee health care benefit plan |
28
|
|
|
that is subject to a deductible of $250,000 per claimant
per year. Losses are accrued based upon our estimates of the
ultimate liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims
incurred but not reported, with assistance from a third-party
actuary. However, insurance liabilities are difficult to assess
and estimate due to unknown factors, including the severity of
an injury, the determination of our liability in proportion to
other parties, the number of incidents not reported and the
effectiveness of our safety program. The accruals are based upon
known facts and historical trends and management believes such
accruals to be adequate. |
|
|
Our casualty insurance carrier for the policy periods from
August 1, 2000 to February 28, 2003 has been
experiencing financial distress but is currently paying valid
claims. In the event that this insurers financial
situation further deteriorates, we may be required to pay
certain obligations that otherwise would have been paid by this
insurer. We estimate that the total future claim amount that
this insurer is currently obligated to pay on our behalf for the
above mentioned policy periods is approximately
$5.0 million; however, our estimate of the potential range
of these future claim amounts is between $4.0 million and
$10.0 million. The actual amounts ultimately paid by us in
connection with such claims, if any, may vary materially from
the above range and could be impacted by further claims
development and the extent to which the insurer could not honor
its obligations. In any event, we do not expect any failure by
this insurer to honor its obligations to us to have a material
adverse impact on our financial condition; however, the impact
could be material to our results of operations or cash flow in a
given period. We continue to monitor the financial situation of
this insurer and analyze any alternative actions that could be
pursued. |
|
|
Valuation of Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets.
SFAS No. 142 provides that goodwill and other
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be
amortized but, instead, must be tested at least annually for
impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives
should continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
SFAS No. 142 also provides specific guidance for
testing goodwill and other nonamortized intangible assets for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 does not allow increases in
the carrying value of reporting units that may result from our
impairment test; therefore, we may record goodwill impairments
in the future, even when the aggregate fair value of our
reporting units and the company as a whole may increase.
Goodwill of a reporting unit will be tested for impairment
between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a
reporting unit below its carrying amount. Examples of such
events or circumstances may include a significant change in
business climate or a loss of key personnel, among others.
SFAS No. 142 requires that management make certain
estimates and assumptions in order to allocate goodwill to
reporting units and to determine the fair value of reporting
unit net assets and liabilities, including, among other things,
an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, cost
of capital and growth rates, which could significantly impact
the reported value of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment, and
our projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized. |
|
|
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be realizable. If an evaluation is required, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are
compared to the assets carrying amount to determine if an
impairment of such asset is necessary. Estimating future cash
flows requires significant judgment, and our projections may
vary from cash flows eventually realized. The effect of any
impairment would be to expense the difference between the fair
value of such asset and its carrying value. In addition, we
estimate the useful lives of our long-lived assets and other
intangibles. We periodically review factors to determine whether
these lives are appropriate. Net gains or losses from the sale
of property and equipment are reflected in Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses. |
|
|
Current and Non-Current Accounts and Notes Receivable
and Provision for Doubtful Accounts. We provide an allowance
for doubtful accounts when collection of an account or note
receivable is considered doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of
the allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and
estimates relating to, among others, our customers access
to capital, our customers willingness or ability to pay,
general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with
the customer. |
29
|
|
|
Should customers experience financial difficulties or file for
bankruptcy, or should anticipated recoveries relating to the
receivables in existing bankruptcies and other workout
situations fail to materialize, we could experience reduced cash
flows and losses in excess of current reserves. In addition,
material changes in our customers revenues or cash flows
could affect our ability to collect amounts due from them. |
|
|
Income Taxes. We follow the liability method of
accounting for income taxes in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Under this method, deferred assets and liabilities are recorded
for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are
expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or
liabilities are recovered or settled. |
|
|
We regularly evaluate valuation allowances established for
deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain
and we maintain an allowance for tax contingencies that we
believe is adequate. The estimation of required valuation
allowances includes estimates of future taxable income. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon
the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. If actual future taxable income differs
from our estimates, we may not realize deferred tax assets to
the extent we have estimated. |
Outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations.
These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may
differ materially.
Many utilities across the country have regained their financial
health and we believe they are making plans to increase spending
on their transmission and distribution systems. As a result, we
anticipate more extensive pole change outs, line upgrades and
maintenance projects on many systems over the next several
quarters. Further, the recently enacted Energy Policy Act of
2005 requires the power industry to meet federal reliability
standards for their transmission and distribution systems and
provides further incentives to the industry to invest in and
improve maintenance on their systems. While this Act is likely
to stimulate spending by our customers, we do not expect to
begin to realize substantial benefits of this spending for at
least twelve to twenty-four months.
We are also seeing improvement in the financial health of
telecommunications customers. There are several
telecommunications initiatives currently in discussion and
underway by several wireline carriers and government
organizations that provide us with pockets of opportunity,
particularly from fiber to the premises (FTTP) and fiber to
the node (FTTN) initiatives. Such initiatives have been
announced by Verizon and AT&T (formerly SBC), and
municipalities and other government jurisdictions have also
become active in these initiatives. We anticipate increased
spending by wireless telecommunications customers on their
networks, as the impact of mergers within the wireless industry
has begun to lessen. In addition, several wireless companies
have announced plans to increase their cell site deployment
plans over the next year, including the expansion of third
generation technology.
Spending in the cable television industry remains flat. However,
with several telecommunications companies increasing the pace of
their FTTP and FTTN projects that will enable them to offer TV
services via fiber to their customers, such initiatives could
serve as a catalyst for the cable industry to begin a new
network upgrade cycle to expand its service offerings in an
effort to retain and attract customers. On July 21, 2006,
Adelphia Communications Corporation and its affiliated companies
(Adelphia) signed a plan agreement with their creditors
committee and other unsecured creditors providing a framework
for a plan of reorganization intended to result in
Adelphias emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the
fourth quarter of 2006. The plan of reorganization outlined in
the plan agreement was conditioned on Adelphias closing of
the sale of substantially all of its assets to Time Warner Cable
and Comcast Corporation and, on July 31, 2006, the sale was
successfully completed. As a result of these transactions, we
expect increased spending initiatives by Time Warner Cable and
Comcast Corporation as they integrate the systems acquired from
Adelphia.
30
With the stabilization of several of our markets and our margin
enhancement initiatives, we have begun to see our gross margins
generally improve as well. While operating conditions are
challenging, we are beginning to see margins improve, but they
are not expected to return to historical levels in the near
term. To the extent that our primary markets remain stable or
continue to improve, margins should gradually improve.
We continue to focus on the elements of the business we can
control, including cost control, the margins we accept on
projects, collecting receivables, ensuring quality service and
rightsizing initiatives to match the markets we serve. These
initiatives include aligning our workforce with our current
revenue base, evaluating opportunities to reduce the number of
field offices and evaluating our non-core assets for potential
sale. Such initiatives could result in future charges related
to, among others, severance, facilities shutdown and
consolidation, property disposal and other exit costs.
Capital expenditures in 2006 are expected to be approximately
$60.0 million. A majority of the expenditures will be for
operating equipment. We expect expenditures for 2006 to be
funded substantially through internal cash flows and, to the
extent necessary, from cash on hand.
We believe that we are adequately positioned to capitalize upon
opportunities in the industries we serve because of our proven
full-service operating units with broad geographic reach,
financial capability and technical expertise.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk. |
Interest Rates. As of December 31, 2005, the fair
value of our fixed-rate debt of $444.8 million aggregate
principal amount was approximately $520.1 million, based
upon current market prices. Due to the repurchase of a portion
of our 4.0% Notes and the issuance of our 3.75% Notes,
the fair value of our fixed-rate debt as of June 30, 2006
was approximately $602.0 million, based upon current market
prices.
32
|
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures. |
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of
June 30, 2006. Based on their evaluation, our Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2006.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls
or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or
detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives
will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further,
because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
company have been detected. These inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty
and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the controls. The design of any system of controls
is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree
of compliance with policies or procedures.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30,
2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
|
|
|
Managements Consideration of the Restatement |
In coming to the conclusion that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006, our
management considered, among other things, the control
deficiency related to the financial reporting for our investment
in variable rate demand notes, which resulted in the restatement
of our previously issued financial statements as disclosed in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in
Item 1 of this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q/A. After
taking into consideration that there has been significant debate
within the standard-setting community around the classification
of VRDNs, requiring significant judgment by registrants and
resulting in some disparity in practice, our management
concluded that the judgment exercised by management in carrying
out the relevant control procedures were appropriate and
concluded that the control deficiency that contributed to the
restatement did not constitute a material weakness.

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
|
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings. |
We are from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and
other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. These actions typically seek, among other things,
compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract
and/or property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or
other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect
to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we accrue reserves
when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount
of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any
of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, would be
expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, cash flow or financial position.
