Equity [Abstract] |
Equity | EQUITY: Exchangeable Shares In connection with certain prior acquisitions of Canadian businesses, the former owners of the acquired businesses received exchangeable shares of certain Canadian subsidiaries of Quanta, which could be exchanged at the option of the holders for Quanta common stock on a one-for-one basis. All holders of exchangeable shares had rights equivalent to Quanta common stockholders with respect to dividends and other economic rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, a nominal amount and 0.4 million exchangeable shares were exchanged for Quanta common stock, and as of March 31, 2020, no exchangeable shares remained outstanding. Treasury Stock General Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Under Delaware law, treasury stock is not counted for quorum purposes or entitled to vote. Shares withheld for tax withholding obligations The tax withholding obligations of employees upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs settled in common stock are typically satisfied by Quanta making tax payments and withholding the number of vested shares having a value on the date of vesting equal to the tax withholding obligation. For the settlement of these liabilities, Quanta withheld 0.6 million and 0.4 million of Quanta common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which had a market value of $23.2 million and $15.3 million. These shares and the related costs to acquire them were accounted for as adjustments to the balance of treasury stock. Notional amounts recorded related to deferred compensation plans For RSUs and PSUs that vest but the settlement of which is deferred under a deferred compensation plan, Quanta records a notional amount to “Treasury stock” and an offsetting amount to “Additional paid-in capital” (APIC). At vesting, only shares withheld for tax liabilities other than income taxes are added to outstanding treasury shares, as the shares of Quanta common stock associated with deferred stock-based awards are not issued until settlement of the award. Upon settlement of the deferred stock-based awards and issuance of the associated Quanta common stock, the original accounting entry is reversed. The net amounts recorded to treasury stock related to the deferred compensation plans were $3.5 million and $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Stock repurchases During the third quarter of 2018, Quanta’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes Quanta to purchase, from time to time through June 30, 2021, up to $500.0 million of its outstanding common stock (the 2018 Repurchase Program). Quanta repurchased the following shares of common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase programs (in thousands):
Quarter ended: |  | Shares |  | Amount
March 31, 2020 |  | 5,960 |  |  | $ | 200,000 |
December 31, 2019 |  | — |  |  | $ | — |
September 30, 2019 |  | — |  |  | $ | — |
June 30, 2019 |  | — |  |  | $ | — |

Quanta’s policy is to record a stock repurchase as of the trade date; however, the payment of cash related to the repurchase is made on the settlement date of the trade. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, cash payments related to stock repurchases were $200.0 million and $19.9 million. As of March 31, 2020, $86.8 million remained under the 2018 Repurchase Program. Repurchases under the 2018 Repurchase Program may be implemented through open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions, at management’s discretion, based on market and business conditions, applicable contractual and legal requirements, including restrictions under Quanta’s senior secured credit facility, and other factors. Quanta is not obligated to acquire any specific amount of common stock, and the 2018 Repurchase Program may be modified or terminated by Quanta’s Board of Directors at any time at its sole discretion and without notice. Non-controlling Interests Quanta holds interests in various entities through both joint venture entities that provide infrastructure services under specific customer contracts, either directly or through subcontracting relationships, and other equity investments in partially owned entities that own and operate certain infrastructure assets, including investments entered into through the partnership structure Quanta formed with certain infrastructure investors. Quanta has determined that certain of these joint ventures where Quanta provides the majority of the infrastructure services, which management believes most significantly influences the economic performance of such joint ventures, are VIEs. Management has concluded that Quanta is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures and has accounted for each on a consolidated basis. The other parties’ equity interests in these joint ventures have been accounted for as “Non-controlling interests” in Quanta’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net income attributable to the other participants in the amounts of $2.8 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 has been accounted for as a reduction of net income in deriving “Net income attributable to common stock” in Quanta’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amount of the investments in VIEs held by Quanta was $13.1 million and $9.6 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying amount of investments held by the non-controlling interests in these VIEs at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $4.7 million and $3.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, net distributions to non-controlling interests were $2.0 million and $0.5 million. There were no other changes in equity as a result of transfers to/from the non-controlling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019. See Note 11 for further disclosures related to Quanta’s joint venture arrangements. Dividends Quanta declared the following cash dividends and cash dividend equivalents during 2019 and the first three months of 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Declaration |  | Record |  | Payment |  | Dividend |  | Dividends
Date |  | Date |  | Date |  | Per Share |  | Declared
March 26, 2020 |  | April 6, 2020 |  | April 15, 2020 |  | $ | 0.05 |  |  | $ | 7,184 |
December 11, 2019 |  | January 2, 2020 |  | January 16, 2020 |  | $ | 0.05 |  |  | $ | 7,371 |
August 28, 2019 |  | October 1, 2019 |  | October 15, 2019 |  | $ | 0.04 |  |  | $ | 5,564 |
May 24, 2019 |  | July 1, 2019 |  | July 15, 2019 |  | $ | 0.04 |  |  | $ | 6,233 |
March 21, 2019 |  | April 5, 2019 |  | April 19, 2019 |  | $ | 0.04 |  |  | $ | 5,896 |
A significant majority of the dividends declared were paid on the corresponding payment dates. Holders of RSUs awarded under the Quanta Services, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) generally received cash dividend equivalent payments equal to the cash dividend payable on account of the underlying Quanta common stock. Holders of exchangeable shares of certain Canadian subsidiaries of Quanta received a cash dividend per exchangeable share equal to the cash dividend per share paid to Quanta common stockholders. Holders of RSUs awarded under the Quanta Services, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the 2019 Plan) and holders of unearned and unvested PSUs awarded under the 2011 Plan and the 2019 Plan receive cash dividend equivalent payments only to the extent such RSUs and PSUs become earned and/or vest. Additionally, cash dividend equivalent payments related to certain stock-based awards that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of a deferred compensation plan maintained by Quanta are recorded as liabilities in such plans until the deferred awards are settled. The declaration, payment and amount of future cash dividends will be at the discretion of Quanta’s Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including Quanta’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows from operations; current and anticipated capital requirements and expansion plans; the current and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other market, industry, economic and political conditions; income tax laws then in effect; and the requirements of Delaware law. In addition, as discussed in Note 7, Quanta’s credit agreement restricts the payment of cash dividends unless certain conditions are met.
