2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Quanta include the accounts of Quanta Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are also referred to as its operating units. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of certain of Quanta’s investments in joint ventures, which are either consolidated or proportionately consolidated. Investments in affiliated entities in which Quanta does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which Quanta has significant influence, usually because Quanta holds a voting interest of between 20% and 50% in the affiliated entity, are accounted for using the equity method. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to Quanta include Quanta Services, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), 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, comprehensive income and cash flows with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations and comprehensive income for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The results of Quanta have historically 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 consolidated subsidiaries, which contain additional information about Quanta’s policies and are included in Quanta’s 2020 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 amounts 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 Quanta’s 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 Quanta’s assessment of revenue recognition for construction contracts, including contractual change orders and claims; allowance for credit losses; valuation of inventory; useful lives of assets; fair value assumptions in analyzing goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived asset impairments; equity and other investments; purchase price allocations; acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities; multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liabilities; contingent liabilities associated with, among other things, legal proceedings and claims, parent guarantees and indemnity obligations; estimated insurance claim recoveries; stock-based compensation; operating results of reportable segments; provision for income taxes; and uncertain tax positions.
Revenue Recognition
Quanta’s services may be provided pursuant to master service agreements (MSAs), repair and maintenance contracts and fixed price and non-fixed price construction contracts. These contracts are classified into three categories based on the methods by which transaction prices are determined and revenue is recognized: unit-price contracts, cost-plus contracts and fixed price contracts. Transaction prices for unit-price contracts are determined on a per unit basis, transaction prices for cost-plus contracts are determined by applying a profit margin to costs incurred on the contracts and transaction prices for fixed price contracts are determined on a lump-sum basis.
Performance Obligations
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations was approximately $4.37 billion and $3.99 billion, of which 78.7% and 71.2% were expected to be recognized in the subsequent twelve months. These amounts represent management’s estimates of the consolidated revenues that are expected to be realized from the remaining portion of firm orders under fixed price contracts not yet completed or for which work had not yet begun as of such dates. For purposes of calculating remaining performance

(Unaudited)
obligations, Quanta includes all estimated revenues attributable to consolidated joint ventures and variable interest entities, revenues from funded and unfunded portions of government contracts to the extent they are reasonably expected to be realized and revenues from change orders and claims to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection. Excluded from remaining performance obligations are potential orders under MSAs and non-fixed price contracts expected to be completed within one year.
Contract Estimates
Actual revenues and project costs can vary, sometimes substantially, from previous estimates due to changes in a variety of factors, including unforeseen or changed circumstances not included in Quanta’s cost estimates or covered by its contracts. Some of the factors that can result in positive changes in estimates on projects include successful execution through project risks, reduction of estimated project costs or increases of estimated revenues. Some of the factors that can result in negative changes in estimates include concealed or unknown site conditions; changes to or disputes with customers regarding the scope of services; changes in estimates related to the length of time to complete a performance obligation; changes or delays with respect to permitting and regulatory requirements; changes in the cost or availability of equipment, commodities, materials or skilled labor; unanticipated costs or claims due to delays or failure to perform by customers or third parties; customer failure to provide required materials or equipment; errors in engineering, specifications or designs; project modifications; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, and other emergencies (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic); and performance and quality issues causing delay (including payment of liquidated damages) or requiring rework or replacement. Any changes in estimates may result in changes to profitability or losses associated with the related performance obligations.
Changes in estimated revenues, costs and profit are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis and recorded in the period they are determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such changes in estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods or the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the currently estimated revenue is less than the previous estimate. The impact of a change in contract estimate is measured as the difference between the revenue or gross profit recognized in the prior period as compared to the revenue or gross profit which would have been recognized had the revised estimate been used as the basis of recognition in the prior period. Changes in estimates can also result in contract losses, which are recognized in full when they are determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were favorably impacted by $41.9 million, or 7.8%, of gross profit as a result of aggregate changes in contract estimates related to projects that were in progress at June 30, 2021. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were favorably impacted by $127.4 million, or 9.4%, of gross profit as a result of aggregate changes in contract estimates related to projects that were in progress at December 31, 2020. The overall favorable impact resulted from net positive changes in estimates across a large number of projects, primarily as a result of favorable performance and successful mitigation of risks and contingencies as the projects progressed to completion.
Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were favorably impacted by $48.7 million, or 9.6%, of gross profit as a result of aggregate changes in contract estimates related to projects that were in progress at June 30, 2020. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by less than 5% of gross profit as a result of aggregate changes in contract estimates related to projects that were in progress at December 31, 2019.
Certain projects were materially impacted by changes to estimated contract revenues and/or project costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Revenues and gross profit were favorably impacted as a result of successful execution through project risks and close-out activities on certain large pipeline projects in the United States, as well as a project scope reduction on a large pipeline project in the United States that allowed Quanta to recognize a portion of previously deferred milestone payments and reduce certain contingencies on the project. The favorable impact related to these projects was partially offset by increased costs on two large pipeline projects in Canada that experienced severe weather conditions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, both of which were complete as of September 30, 2021. With respect to all of these large pipeline projects, the aggregate net favorable impact on gross profit related to work performed in prior periods was $32.9 million and $15.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Quanta was pursuing the orderly exit of its Latin American operations, which was substantially complete as of December 31, 2020. These operations were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to shelter-in-place restrictions and other work disruptions, and as a result Quanta accelerated various contract terminations and other activities in order to expedite cessation of operations in the region. These factors resulted in changes in estimates on several projects and negatively impacted gross profit related to work performed in prior periods by $12.1 million and $28.6 million in the aggregate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Changes in cost estimates on certain contracts may also result in the issuance of change orders, which can be approved or unapproved by the customer, or the assertion of contract claims. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Quanta had recognized revenues of $254.1 million and $141.2 million related to change orders and claims included as contract price adjustments that were in the process of being negotiated in the normal course of business. The largest component of the revenues recognized is associated with change orders and claims arising from delays on two electric transmission projects in Canada. The most significant delays on these projects occurred in the first and third quarters of 2021 and were related to the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively impacted productivity. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, both of the projects were negatively impacted by unrelated wildfires, and one was also impacted by acceleration of the project timeline, all of which resulted in change orders. Quanta believes that the contracts for these projects entitle it to recover certain amounts associated with these delays. The aggregate amounts related to change orders and claims, which are included in “Contract assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, represent management’s estimates of additional contract revenues that have been earned and are probable of collection. However, Quanta’s estimates could change, and the amount ultimately realized could be significantly higher or lower than the estimated amount.
Revenues by Category
The following tables present Quanta’s revenue disaggregated by geographic location, as determined by the job location, and contract type (in thousands):

Under fixed price contracts, as well as unit-price contracts with more than an insignificant amount of partially completed units, revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied over time, with the percentage completion generally measured as the percentage of costs incurred to total estimated costs for such performance obligation. Approximately 42.5% and 47.9% of Quanta’s revenues recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were associated with this revenue recognition method, and 43.4% and 48.4% of Quanta’s revenues recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were associated with this revenue recognition method.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets and liabilities, recorded as current assets and liabilities, respectively, consisted of the following (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Contract assets |  | $ | 760,279 |  |  | $ | 453,832 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 501,142 |  |  | $ | 528,864 |

Contract assets and liabilities fluctuate period to period based on various factors, including, among others, changes in the number and size of projects in progress at period end and variability in billing and payment terms, such as up-front or advance billings, interim or milestone billings, deferred billings and unapproved change orders and contract claims recognized in

(Unaudited)
revenues. The increase in contract assets from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased working capital requirements related to progress on two large electric transmission projects in Canada and the timing of billings for such projects. Both of the projects were negatively impacted by delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic and unrelated wildfires, and one project was also impacted by acceleration of the project timeline, all of which resulted in change orders and an increase in contract assets.
Revenues were positively impacted by $151.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of changes in estimates associated with performance obligations on fixed price contracts partially satisfied prior to December 31, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Quanta recognized revenue of approximately $381.9 million related to contract liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2020.
Current and Long-Term Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Quanta’s historical loss ratio and its determination of risk pools, which are used to calculate expected credit losses, may be adjusted for changes in customer credit concentrations within its portfolio of financial assets, customers’ ability to pay, and other considerations, such as economic and market changes, changes to the regulatory or technological environments affecting customers and the consistency between current and forecasted economic conditions and historical economic conditions used to derive historical loss ratios. At the end of each quarter, management reassesses these and other relevant factors, including any potential effects from the currently challenged energy market and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Quanta considers accounts receivable delinquent after 30 days but does not generally consider such amounts delinquent in its credit loss analysis unless the accounts receivable are at least 90 days past due. In addition to monitoring delinquent accounts, management monitors the credit quality of its receivables by, among other things, obtaining credit ratings of significant customers, assessing economic and market conditions and evaluating material changes to a customer’s business, cash flows and financial condition. Should anticipated recoveries relating to receivables fail to materialize, including anticipated recoveries relating to bankruptcies or other workout situations, Quanta could experience reduced cash flows and losses in excess of current allowances provided.
For example, in July 2021 Limetree Bay Refining, LLC (Limetree Refining), a customer within Quanta’s Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, after experiencing operational and financial difficulties and shutting down operations at its refinery. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had $31.3 million of billed and unbilled receivables for services performed and other costs. Quanta also had $0.7 million of billed and unbilled receivables outstanding from Limetree Bay Terminals, LLC (Limetree Terminals), an affiliate of Limetree Refining that has not filed for bankruptcy. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, Quanta recorded a provision for credit loss of $23.6 million with respect to these receivables based on the current estimated amount of expected loss. However, given the uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy proceeding and the financial condition of the customers, the amount of receivables ultimately collected and the ultimate amount of credit loss recognized depends on a number of factors that are subject to change, including, among other things, the potential sale of the refinery assets by Limetree Refining, negotiations with respect to payment of the amounts owed by Limetree Terminals and the result of any preferential payment actions brought in the bankruptcy proceeding. As such, an additional allowance for credit loss may be recorded in the future, including with respect to the remaining $8.4 million of receivables owed by the customers. See Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 10 for further discussion of the credit quality of certain other outstanding receivables due from customers that have experienced financial difficulties.
Activity in Quanta’s allowance for credit losses consisted of the following (in thousands):

Certain contracts allow customers to withhold a small percentage of billings pursuant to retainage provisions, and such amounts are generally due upon completion of the contract and acceptance of the project by the customer. Based on Quanta’s

(Unaudited)
experience in recent years, the majority of these retainage balances are expected to be collected within approximately twelve months of September 30, 2021. Retainage balances with expected settlement dates within twelve months of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $295.9 million and $306.3 million, which are included in “Accounts receivable.” Retainage balances with expected settlement dates beyond twelve months of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were each $88.2 million and are included in “Other assets, net.”
Quanta recognizes unbilled receivables for non-fixed price contracts within “Accounts receivable” in certain circumstances, such as when revenues have been earned and recorded but the amount cannot be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date or when amounts arise from routine lags in billing (for example, work completed during one month but not billed until the next month). These balances do not include revenues recognized for work performed under fixed-price contracts, as these amounts are recorded as “Contract assets.” At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unbilled receivables included in “Accounts receivable” were $827.3 million and $472.3 million. The increase in unbilled receivables was primarily due to the ramp up of work, certain delays in billing related to a large customer and a significant amount of emergency restoration services revenues performed in the latter part of the third quarter that remained unbilled at the end of the quarter. Quanta also recognizes unearned revenues for non-fixed price contracts when cash is received prior to recognizing revenues for the related performance obligation. Unearned revenues, which are included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” were $39.5 million and $53.6 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Amounts related to Quanta’s cash and cash equivalents based on geographic location of the bank accounts were as follows (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents held in domestic bank accounts |  | $ | 1,664,990 |  |  | $ | 156,122 |
Cash and cash equivalents held in foreign bank accounts |  | 31,220 |  |  | 28,498 |
Total cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,696,210 |  |  | $ | 184,620 |

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash equivalents were $1.63 billion and $98.0 million and consisted primarily of money market investments and money market mutual funds and are discussed further in the Fair Value Measurements section within this Note 2. The proceeds received from Quanta’s issuance of senior notes on September 23, 2021 represented a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2021, and such proceeds were utilized to fund the acquisition of Blattner on October 13, 2021, as described further in Notes 4 and 6.
Cash and cash equivalents held by joint ventures, which are either consolidated or proportionately consolidated, are available to support joint venture operations, but Quanta cannot utilize those assets to support its other operations. Quanta generally has no right to cash and cash equivalents held by a joint venture other than participating in distributions, to the extent made, and in the event of dissolution. Cash and cash equivalents held by Quanta’s wholly-owned captive insurance company are generally not available for use in support of its other operations. Amounts related to cash and cash equivalents held by joint ventures and the captive insurance company, which are included in Quanta’s total cash and cash equivalents balances, were as follows (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents held by domestic joint ventures |  | $ | 13,377 |  |  | $ | 7,714 |
Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign joint ventures |  | 4,568 |  |  | 3,973 |
Total cash and cash equivalents held by joint ventures |  | 17,945 |  |  | 11,687 |
Cash and cash equivalents held by captive insurance company |  | 132,916 |  |  | 85,014 |
Cash and cash equivalents not held by joint ventures or captive insurance company |  | 1,545,349 |  |  | 87,919 |
Total cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,696,210 |  |  | $ | 184,620 |

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, net of accumulated impairment losses, represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses and is stated at cost. Quanta has determined that its individual operating units represent its reporting units for the purpose of assessing goodwill impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate
16

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
that goodwill may be impaired. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for annual or interim quantitative impairment testing include, among other things, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions; declining financial performance; deterioration in the operational environment; an expectation of selling or disposing of a portion of a reporting unit; a significant change in market, management, business strategy or business climate; a loss of a significant customer; increased competition; a sustained decrease in share price; or a decrease in Quanta’s market capitalization below book value. Quanta did not identify any triggering events in the first three quarters of 2021 and did not recognize any goodwill impairments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Quanta’s intangible assets include customer relationships; backlog; trade names; non-compete agreements; patented rights, developed technology, and process certifications; and curriculum, all of which are subject to amortization, as well as an engineering license, which is not subject to amortization. As a result of the broader challenges in the energy market, the effect of which continues to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Quanta assessed the expected negative impact related to its intangible assets, particularly intangible assets associated with reporting units within the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Division. Quanta concluded that such impact is not likely to result in intangible asset impairments, and therefore no intangible asset impairments were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
In connection with its annual goodwill assessment in 2020, Quanta also considered the sensitivity of its fair value estimates to changes in certain valuation assumptions, including with respect to reporting units within Quanta’s Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Division that have recently been negatively impacted by energy market challenges. The potential future impact of these challenges is uncertain and depends on numerous factors and could continue or increase in future periods. In particular, two Canadian pipeline-related businesses and a United States material handling services business were identified in the annual goodwill assessment to have an increased risk of goodwill impairment in the near and medium term due to the currently challenged energy market. After taking into account a 10% decrease in fair value, these reporting units would have had fair values below their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2020. The aggregate goodwill and intangible asset balances for these three businesses totaled $100.1 million and $16.0 million as of September 30, 2021. In addition, a specialized industrial services business located in the United States experienced lower demand for certain services during the year ended December 31, 2020, which has continued in 2021, as customers reduced and deferred regularly scheduled maintenance due to lack of demand for refined products, particularly certain transportation-related fuels, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. After taking into account a 10% decrease in fair value, the reporting unit would have had a fair value in excess of its carrying amount as of December 31, 2020; however, uncertainty as to the timing and extent of recovery of demand for refined products has increased the risk of goodwill impairment for this reporting unit. The goodwill and intangible asset balances for this reporting unit were $313.4 million and $51.9 million as of September 30, 2021. Quanta will continue to monitor the goodwill associated with these reporting units, and should they suffer additional declines in actual or forecasted financial results, the risk of goodwill impairment would increase.
Investments in Affiliates and Other Entities
Investments in entities of which Quanta is not the primary beneficiary, but over which Quanta has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are carried at original cost adjusted for Quanta’s proportionate share of the investees’ income, losses and distributions. The carrying values for Quanta’s unconsolidated equity method investments were $73.8 million and $44.9 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and are included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Quanta’s share of net income or losses of these investments is included within operating income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations when the investee is operationally integral to the operations of Quanta and is reported as “Equity in earnings (losses) of integral unconsolidated affiliates.” Quanta’s share of net income or losses of unconsolidated equity method investments that are not operationally integral to the operations of Quanta are included in “Other income (expense), net” below operating income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had receivables of $13.3 million and payables of $3.2 million from its integral unconsolidated affiliates.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Quanta recognized impairment losses of $8.7 million related to a non-integral equity method investment, which were primarily due to the decline in commodity prices and production volumes during 2020. These impairment losses are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In October 2021, Quanta acquired a 44% interest in an entity that provides right-of-way solutions, including site preparation and clearing, materials delivery and installation and management of permitting requirements and traffic control for approximately $18 million, subject to certain adjustments. This investment will be accounted for as an integral affiliate using the equity method of accounting.

Investments in entities of which Quanta is not the primary beneficiary, and over which Quanta does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Additionally, certain investments provide for significant influence over the investee, but also include preferential liquidation rights, which precludes accounting for the investments under the equity method. These cost method investments are required to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income unless the investments do not have readily determinable fair values, in which case the investments are measured at cost minus impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same company. Earnings on investments accounted for using the cost method of accounting are recognized as dividends are declared. These earnings and any impairments of cost method investments are reported in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying values for investments accounted for using the cost method of accounting were $130.2 million and $39.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and these amounts are included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Quanta acquired a minority interest in a broadband technology provider for $90.0 million. This investment includes preferential liquidation rights and is accounted for using the cost method of accounting. There have been no changes in the carrying value of the investment through September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Quanta also purchased, through its wholly-owned captive insurance company, certain real property, including associated buildings and facilities, that is expected to be developed for its future corporate headquarters. A portion of this property is currently leased to third-party lessees and is expected to continue to be leased to third-party lessees in the future. As a result, an investment in real estate of $23.5 million was recognized at cost for the third-party leased portion of the property during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the carrying amount of $23.4 million is included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Quanta recognized a $9.3 million impairment to an investment in a water and gas infrastructure contractor, which also represents the cumulative amount of impairment on investments accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Quanta did not exercise its option to acquire the remaining interest in this business at an agreed price based on a multiple of the company’s earnings during a designated performance period.
See Note 10 for additional information related to investments.
Puerto Rico Joint Venture
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, a joint venture in which Quanta owns a 50% interest, LUMA Energy, LLC (LUMA), was selected for a 15-year operation and maintenance agreement to operate, maintain and modernize the approximately 18,000-mile electric transmission and distribution system in Puerto Rico. In June 2021, LUMA completed the steps necessary to transition operation and maintenance of the system from the owner to LUMA and entered into an interim services agreement. Once the owner emerges from its Title III debt restructuring process, the 15-year operation and maintenance period is scheduled to begin. During the interim services period, LUMA receives a fixed annual management fee, payable in monthly installments, and is reimbursed for costs and expenses. During the 15-year operation and maintenance period, LUMA will continue to be reimbursed for costs and expenses and receive a fixed annual management fee, but will also have the opportunity to receive additional annual performance-based incentive fees. LUMA has not assumed and will not assume ownership of any electric transmission and distribution system assets or be responsible for operation of the power generation assets. Quanta’s ownership interest and participation in LUMA is accounted for as an equity method investment due to Quanta’s equal ownership and management of LUMA with its joint venture partner. LUMA is operationally integral to the operations of Quanta, and therefore Quanta’s share of LUMA’s net income or losses is reported within operating income in “Equity in earnings (losses) of integral unconsolidated affiliates.” Included within the equity method investments described above are Quanta’s equity interest in LUMA of $34.5 million and $10.9 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes
Quanta regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain, including in connection with changes in tax laws. 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.
As of September 30, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions was $40.6 million, an increase of $7.4 million from December 31, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from a $5.0 million increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in 2021 and a $2.4 million increase related to prior year positions. Quanta’s consolidated federal income tax return for tax year 2019 is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS), and Quanta’s consolidated federal income tax returns for tax years 2017, 2018, and 2020 remain open to examination by the IRS, as these statute of limitations periods have not yet expired. Additionally, various state and foreign tax returns filed by Quanta and certain subsidiaries for multiple periods remain under examination by various U.S. state and foreign tax authorities. Quanta believes it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $13.3 million as a result of settlement of these examinations or as a result of the expiration of certain statute of limitations periods.
Fair Value Measurements
For disclosure purposes, qualifying assets and liabilities are categorized into three broad levels based on the priority of the inputs used to determine their fair values. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Certain assumptions and other information as they relate to these qualifying assets and liabilities are described below.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Quanta has recorded goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in connection with certain of its historical business acquisitions. Quanta utilizes the fair value premise as the primary basis for its impairment valuation procedures. The Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets sections in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in Part II of the 2020 Annual Report provide information regarding valuation methods, including the income approach, market approach and cost approach, and assumptions used to determine the fair value of these assets based on the appropriateness of each method in relation to the type of asset being valued. Quanta believes that the valuation methods it employs appropriately represent the methods that would be used by other market participants in determining fair value, and periodically engages the services of an independent valuation firm when a new business is acquired to assist management with the valuation process, including assistance with the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and the development of market-based valuation assumptions. The level of inputs used for these fair value measurements is the lowest level (Level 3).
Investments
Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In cases where those readily determinable values are quoted market prices, the level of input used for these fair value measurements is the highest level (Level 1). Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured on a nonrecurring basis. These types of fair market value assessments are similar to other nonrecurring fair value measures used by Quanta, which include the use of significant judgments and available relevant market data. Such market data may include observations of the valuation of comparable companies, risk-adjusted discount rates and an evaluation of the expected

(Unaudited)
performance of the underlying portfolio asset, including historical and projected levels of profitability or cash flows. In addition, a variety of additional factors may be reviewed by management, including, but not limited to, contemporaneous financing and sales transactions with third parties, changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment. The level of inputs used for these fair value measurements is the lowest level (Level 3).
Quanta has investments accounted for using the equity and cost methods of accounting. Quanta utilizes the fair value premise as the basis for its impairment valuation and recognizes impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and contract liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. All of Quanta’s cash equivalents were categorized as Level 1 assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as all values were based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that Quanta has the ability to access.
Long-term Debt
The carrying amount of variable rate debt, which includes borrowings under Quanta’s senior credit facility, approximates fair value. Quanta’s fixed rate debt primarily includes its senior notes. The fair value of Quanta’s senior notes, which are described further in Note 6, was $2.52 billion at September 30, 2021, compared to a carrying value of $2.47 billion net of unamortized bond discount, underwriting discounts and deferred financing costs of $28.3 million. The fair value of the senior notes is based on the quoted market prices for the same issue, and the senior notes are categorized as Level 1 liabilities. See Note 6 for additional information regarding Quanta’s senior credit facility and senior notes.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued an update that, among other things, amends the guidance related to accounting for tax law changes when an entity has a year-to-date loss in an interim period and provides guidance on how to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination or a separate transaction. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with certain amendments applied prospectively and other amendments applied on a modified retrospective basis. Quanta adopted this update effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on Quanta’s condensed consolidated financial statements at the date of adoption.
In January 2020, the FASB issued an update that clarified the applicable guidance for measurement of the fair value of equity and cost method investments when there is a change in the level of ownership or degree of influence. Quanta adopted this update effective January 1, 2021 and will prospectively apply this update.
4. ACQUISITIONS:
On October 13, 2021, Quanta completed the acquisition of Blattner, a large utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure solutions provider in North America. The consideration for this transaction consisted of approximately $2.29 billion paid in cash on the date of acquisition and 3.3 million shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $345.4 million as of the date of the acquisition. The final amount of consideration for this acquisition remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including with respect to net working capital. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, the former owners of Blattner are eligible for the potential payment of up to $300 million of contingent consideration, payable to the extent the acquired business achieves certain financial performance objectives over a three-year period beginning in January 2022. Blattner’s results will be included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. Quanta is in the process of performing procedures to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of Blattner, including the fair value assessment of contingent consideration, and will include the preliminary purchase price allocation in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the financing of this acquisition.
In addition, in October 2021, Quanta acquired a business located in the United States that provides electric power construction and related services. The aggregate consideration for this acquisition included approximately $50.0 million paid or
20

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and the issuance of 42,748 shares of common stock, which had a fair value of approximately $4.0 million at the acquisition date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Quanta acquired a communications services business located in the United States that performs data center connection services; a business located in the United States that designs, develops and holds a certification for the manufacture of personal protective breathing equipment and related monitoring devices primarily used in the refining and petrochemical industries, including in connection with catalyst services; a business located in Canada that provides front-end land services for infrastructure development projects in Canada and the United States; and a business located in the United States that primarily provides horizontal directional drilling services. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $59.2 million paid or payable in cash (subject to certain adjustments) and 32,822 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $2.5 million as of the applicable acquisition date.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, Quanta acquired a contractor located in the United States that provides electric power distribution, transmission and substation maintenance and construction, directional boring and emergency restoration services; a professional engineering business located in the United States that provides infrastructure engineering and design services to electric utilities, gas utilities and communications services companies, as well as permitting and utility locating services; a business located in the United States that provides aviation services primarily for the utility industry; an electric power infrastructure business located in the United States that primarily provides underground conduit services; a business located in the United States that specializes in the deployment of short- and long-haul fiber optic cable and utilities; an industrial services business located in Canada that performs catalyst handling services, including changeover and shutdown maintenance, for customers in the refining and chemical industries; and a business located in the United States that provides heavy, civil, industrial and energy related services and specializes in the construction and maintenance of pipelines and metering stations. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $359.6 million paid or payable in cash (subject to certain adjustments) and 1,334,469 shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $57.1 million as of the respective acquisition dates. Additionally, one of the acquisitions includes the potential payment of up to approximately $6.9 million of contingent consideration, payable if the acquired business achieves certain performance objectives over a five-year post-acquisition period. Based on the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, Quanta recorded a $2.3 million liability as of the acquisition date.
The results of the businesses acquired as of or prior to September 30, 2021 have been included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective acquisition dates, with the results of the manufacturing business, the industrial services business and the business specializing in construction and maintenance of pipelines and metering stations generally included in the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment and the results of the remaining businesses generally included in the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment.
The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid or payable as of September 30, 2021 for the acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 and presents the allocation of these amounts to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates, inclusive of any purchase price adjustments. These allocations require significant use of estimates and are based on information that was available to management at the time these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Quanta uses a variety of information to estimate fair values, including quoted market prices, carrying amounts and valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. When deemed appropriate, third-party appraisal firms are engaged to assist in fair value determination of fixed assets, intangible assets and certain other assets and liabilities.
Quanta is finalizing its fair value assessments for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to businesses acquired subsequent to September 30, 2020, and further adjustments to the purchase price allocations may occur. As of September 30, 2021, the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired were preliminary, with possible updates primarily related to tax estimates and inventory. Consideration amounts are also subject to the finalization of closing working capital adjustments. The aggregate consideration paid or payable for businesses acquired between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 was allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which resulted in an allocation of $136.4 million to net tangible assets, $37.6 million to identifiable intangible assets and $35.3 million to goodwill. The following table summarizes the fair value of

Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price for an acquired business exceeds the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 strategically expanded Quanta’s domestic and international underground utility and infrastructure solutions and domestic electric power infrastructure solutions, which Quanta believes contributes to the recognition of goodwill. Approximately $13.3 million and $72.6 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes related to acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.
Quanta’s intangible assets include customer relationships; backlog; trade names; non-compete agreements; patented rights, developed technology, and process certifications; and curriculum, all of which are subject to amortization, as well as an engineering license, which is not subject to amortization. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets for the acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as of the acquisition

number of outstanding shares of Quanta common stock; and reclassifications to conform the acquired businesses’ presentation to Quanta’s accounting policies. The pro forma combined results of operations do not include any adjustments to eliminate the impact of acquisition-related costs or any cost savings or other synergies that resulted or may result from the acquisitions. As noted above, the pro forma results of operations do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined company for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined company in the future.
Revenues of $13.4 million and a loss before income taxes of $0.3 million, which included $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs, related to the acquisitions completed in 2021 are included in Quanta’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenues of $14.6 million and a loss before income taxes of $0.2 million, which included $2.4 million of acquisition-related costs, related to the acquisitions completed in 2021 are included in Quanta’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Revenues of $55.2 million and income before income taxes of $1.0 million, which included $10.6 million acquisition-related costs, related to the acquisitions completed in 2020 are included in Quanta’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Revenues of $63.0 million and income before income taxes of $1.0 million, which included $11.4 million of acquisition-related costs, related to the acquisitions completed in 2020 are included in Quanta’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
5. PER SHARE INFORMATION:
The amounts used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock consisted of the following (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, |  | September 30,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Amounts attributable to common stock: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income attributable to common stock |  | $ | 174,365 |  |  | $ | 162,913 |  |  | $ | 381,159 |  |  | $ | 275,545 |
Weighted average shares outstanding: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share attributable to common stock |  | 140,008 |  |  | 140,542 |  |  | 140,134 |  |  | 141,610 |
Effect of dilutive unvested non-participating stock-based awards |  | 4,296 |  |  | 3,821 |  |  | 4,314 |  |  | 3,375 |
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock |  | 144,304 |  |  | 144,363 |  |  | 144,448 |  |  | 144,985 |

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Unvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (participating securities) have been included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock for the portion of the periods that the awards were outstanding. Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock included 0.5 million and 1.4 million weighted average participating securities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and 0.7 million and 1.7 million weighted average participating securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share attributable to common stock, there were no adjustments required to derive Quanta’s net income attributable to common stock.

Senior Credit Facility
October 2021 Amendment
On October 8, 2021, Quanta entered into an amendment to the credit agreement for its senior credit facility (the Amended Credit Agreement) that, among other things, (i) provided for a new $750.0 million term loan facility for the purpose of financing, in whole or in part, the acquisition of Blattner pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, refinancing certain existing indebtedness of Blattner and paying certain related costs and expenses, (ii) increased the aggregate revolving commitments from $2.51 billion to $2.64 billion and (iii) extended the maturity date for revolving commitments under the senior credit facility from September 22, 2025 to October 8, 2026, which is also the maturity date for the new term loan facility. The amendment also increased the threshold amount for cross-defaults to certain debt instruments and for certain other purposes from $150.0 million to $300.0 million. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate amount of the credit facilities provided for under the Amended Credit Agreement is $3.39 billion.
On October 13, 2021, Quanta borrowed the full amount of the $750.0 million term loan facility and used such amount, together with the net proceeds from the September 2021 offering of the 2024 notes, the 2032 notes and the 2041 notes and approximately $50.9 million of revolving loans borrowed under the senior credit facility, to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of Blattner, as further described in Note 4.
Quanta is required to make quarterly principal payments on the first business day of each January, April, July and October, beginning in January 2023, on outstanding borrowings under the new term loan facility in an amount equal to $4.7 million per quarter in 2023 and 2024, $9.4 million per quarter in 2025 and $18.8 million per quarter in 2026. The aggregate remaining principal amount outstanding for the new term loan facility must be paid on the maturity date of the senior credit facility. Quanta may voluntarily prepay the term loan borrowings from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
Amounts borrowed under the new term loan facility bear interest, at Quanta’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus 1.000% to 1.625%, or (b) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus 0.000% to 0.625%, each as determined based on either Quanta’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as described below) or Quanta’s Debt Rating (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), whichever is more favorable to Quanta. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is the ratio of Quanta’s total funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, total funded debt is reduced by available cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) in excess of $25.0 million. The Base Rate equals the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus 0.5%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate and (iii) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%.
Beginning October 8, 2021, amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at Quanta’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.125% to 1.750%, or (b) the Base Rate plus 0.125% to 0.750%, each as determined based on either Quanta’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or its Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to Quanta. Revolving loans borrowed in any currency other than U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate or the Alternative Currency Term Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), as applicable, plus 1.125% to 1.750%, as determined based on either Quanta’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Quanta’s Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to Quanta. Additionally, standby or commercial letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Agreement are subject to a letter of credit fee of 1.125% to 1.750%; Performance Letters of Credit (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) issued under the Amended Credit Agreement in support of certain contractual obligations are subject to a letter of credit fee of 0.675% to 1.125%; and Quanta is subject to a commitment fee of 0.100% to 0.275% on any unused

availability under the revolving credit facility, in each case as determined based on either the Quanta’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or its Debt Rating, whichever is more favorable to Quanta.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including, as of the end of any fiscal quarter of Quanta, (i) a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.5 to 1.0 (except that in connection with certain permitted acquisitions in excess of $200.0 million, including Quanta’s acquisition of Blattner, such ratio is 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter in which the acquisition is completed and the four subsequent fiscal quarters) and (ii) a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.0 to 1.0.
As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021
As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had $415.9 million of outstanding revolving loans under its senior credit facility. Of the total outstanding borrowings, $239.7 million were denominated in Canadian dollars, $142.2 million were denominated in U.S. dollars and $34.0 million were denominated in Australian dollars. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta also had $333.9 million of letters of credit issued under the senior credit facility, of which $92.8 million were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily Canadian dollars. As of September 30, 2021, subject to the applicable sublimits and other terms and conditions, the remaining $1.76 billion of available commitments under the senior credit facility was available for loans or issuing new letters of credit in U.S. dollars and certain alternative currencies.

Bridge Facility Commitment
On September 1, 2021, in connection with the signing of the merger agreement for the acquisition of Blattner, Quanta entered into a commitment letter, pursuant to which certain lenders committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.18 billion to finance the cash consideration estimated to be due at closing of the acquisition of Blattner and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. On September 23, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the commitment letter, the aggregate commitments under the commitment letter were reduced to approximately $696.1 million concurrently with Quanta’s issuance of the 2024 notes, the 2032 notes and the 2041 notes. Additionally, concurrent with the amendment to Quanta’s senior credit facility, the remaining aggregate commitments under the commitment letter were reduced to zero and the commitment was terminated.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Quanta paid $4.4 million of fees to the lenders related to the bridge facility commitment, $3.1 million of which was amortized to interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $1.3 million of which was recorded as deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2021 and will be amortized to interest expense in the three months ending December 31, 2021.

Typically, the parties are employees of Quanta who are also the former owners of businesses acquired by Quanta, and the real properties and facilities continue to be utilized by Quanta subsequent to the acquisitions. Quanta utilizes third party market valuations to evaluate rental rates for these properties and facilities, and the lease agreements generally have remaining lease terms of up to 10 years, subject to renewal options. Related party lease expense was $2.4 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $10.4 million and $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the maximum guaranteed residual value of this equipment was $886.9 million. While Quanta believes that no significant payments will be made as a result of these residual value guarantees, there can be no assurance that significant payments will not be required in the future.

Such expense is recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” During both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 0.5 million shares of common stock were earned and either issued or deferred for future issuance in connection with PSUs.
RSUs to be Settled in Cash
Compensation expense related to RSUs to be settled in cash was $13.7 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Such expense is recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” RSUs that are anticipated to be settled in cash are not included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for earnings per share, and the estimated earned value of such RSUs is classified as a liability. Quanta paid $13.2 million and $4.3 million to settle liabilities related to cash-settled RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Accrued liabilities for the estimated earned value of outstanding RSUs to be settled in cash were $7.4 million and $8.7 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Investments in Affiliates and Other Entities
As described in Note 2, Quanta holds investments in various entities, including joint venture entities that provide infrastructure-related services under specific customer contracts and partially owned entities that own, operate and/or maintain certain infrastructure assets. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had committed to contribute $13.6 million to certain new investments in joint venture entities. The timing of such contributions is not certain, but they are expected to occur in the next twelve months.
If losses are incurred by entities in which Quanta holds an interest, they are generally shared ratably based on the percentage ownership of the participants in the structures. However, in Quanta’s joint venture structures that provide infrastructure-related services, each participant is typically jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the joint venture entity pursuant to the contract with the customer, and therefore Quanta can be liable for full performance of the contract with the customer. Additionally, in circumstances where Quanta’s participation in a joint venture qualifies as a general
31

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
partnership, Quanta can be liable for all obligations of the joint venture, including obligations owed to the customer or any other person or entity. Quanta is not aware of circumstances that would lead to future claims against it for material amounts in connection with these liabilities. Additionally, typically each joint venture participant agrees to indemnify the other participant for any liabilities incurred in excess of what the other participant is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement or in accordance with the scope of work subcontracted to each participant. It is possible, however, that Quanta could be required to pay or perform obligations in excess of its share if another participant is unable or refuses to pay or perform its share of the obligations. Quanta is not aware of circumstances that would lead to future claims against it for material amounts that would not be indemnified. However, to the extent any such claims arise, they could be material and could adversely affect Quanta’s consolidated business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Committed Expenditures
Quanta has capital commitments for the expansion of its equipment fleet in order to accommodate manufacturer lead times on certain types of vehicles. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had $58.5 million of production orders with expected delivery dates in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $106.9 million of production orders with expected delivery dates in 2022, $68.4 million of which is anticipated to occur in the first half of 2022. Although Quanta has committed to purchase these vehicles at the time of their delivery, Quanta anticipates that the majority of these orders will be assigned to third party leasing companies and made available under certain master equipment lease agreements, thereby releasing Quanta from its equipment purchase commitments.
Legal Proceedings
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, property damage, breach of contract, negligence or gross negligence, environmental liabilities, wage and hour and other employment-related damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, Quanta records a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, Quanta discloses matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. Except as otherwise stated below, none of these proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on Quanta’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.
Peru Project Dispute
In 2015, Redes Andinas de Comunicaciones S.R.L. (Redes), a majority-owned subsidiary of Quanta, entered into two separate contracts with an agency of the Peruvian Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), currently Programa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (PRONATEL), as successor to Fondo de Inversion en Telecomunicaciones (FITEL), pursuant to which Redes would design, construct and operate certain telecommunication networks in rural regions of Peru. The aggregate consideration provided for in the contracts was approximately $248 million, consisting of approximately $151 million to be paid during the construction period and approximately $97 million to be paid during a 10-year post-construction operation and maintenance period. At the beginning of the project, FITEL made advance payments totaling approximately $87 million to Redes, which were secured by two on-demand advance payment bonds posted by Redes to guarantee proper use of the payments in the execution of the project. Redes also provided two on-demand performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $25 million to secure performance of its obligations under the contracts.
During the construction phase, the project experienced numerous challenges and delays, primarily related to issues which Quanta believes were outside of the control of and not attributable to Redes, including, among others, weather-related issues, local opposition to the project, permitting delays, the inability to acquire clear title to certain required parcels of land and other delays which Quanta believes were attributable to FITEL/PRONATEL. In response to various of these challenges and delays, Redes requested and received multiple extensions to certain contractual deadlines and relief from related liquidated damages. However, in April 2019, PRONATEL provided notice to Redes claiming that Redes was in default under the contracts due to the delays and that PRONATEL would terminate the contracts if the alleged defaults were not cured. Redes responded by claiming that it was not in default, as the delays were due to events not attributable to Redes, and therefore PRONATEL was not entitled to terminate the contracts. PRONATEL subsequently terminated the contracts for alleged cause prior to completion of Redes’ scope of work, exercised the on-demand performance bonds and advance payment bonds against Redes, and indicated its intention to claim damages, including a verbal allegation of approximately $45 million of liquidated damages

under the contracts. In August 2020, Redes received a formal claim from PRONATEL for liquidated damages in the amount of approximately $38 million, which represents the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amount asserted based on the September 30, 2021 exchange rate.
In May 2019, Redes filed for arbitration before the Court of International Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against PRONATEL and the MTC. In the arbitration, Redes claims that PRONATEL: breached and wrongfully terminated the contracts; wrongfully executed the advance payment bonds and the performance bonds; and is not entitled to the alleged amount of liquidated damages. In addition, Redes is seeking compensation for all damages arising from PRONATEL’s actions, including but not limited to (i) repayment of the amounts collected by PRONATEL under the advance payment bonds and the performance bonds; (ii) payment of amounts owed for work completed by Redes under the contracts; (iii) lost income in connection with Redes’ future operation and maintenance of the networks; and (iv) other related costs and damages to Redes as a result of the breach and improper termination of the contracts (including construction costs caused by the delays and costs related to the transfer of the networks). The amount claimed by Redes in this arbitration is approximately $190 million. In May 2021, PRONATEL and the MTC filed their counter memorial and counterclaims in the ICC arbitration, requesting: (i) that Redes’ claims for breach of contract be rejected; (ii) a declaration that the execution of the advance payment bonds and the performance bonds was valid, and that the funds may be applied towards any debt owed by Redes; (iii) a declaration that the liquidated damages asserted by PRONATEL apply; (iv) that Redes’ claim for payment of amounts owed for work completed as a result of contractual reconciliation of balances be rejected and that any reconciliation of balances approved by the arbitration panel exclude the funds from the performance bonds; (v) that Redes’ claims for damages be rejected; (vi) a declaration that the contract terminations by PRONATEL were valid; and (vii) that Redes reimburse all funds it received from PRONATEL. In addition, PRONATEL alleges that Redes did not satisfy the contractual requirements for the transfer of the networks, which Redes disputes. In July 2021, Redes filed its statement of defense in reply to the counter memorial and counterclaims of PRONATEL and the MTC, in which it disputes all claims made by PRONATEL and the MTC and maintains the positions on its claims against PRONATEL and the MTC in the arbitration. In August 2021, PRONATEL and the MTC filed a rejoinder statement with their position on the merits and damages, which did not present any new claims, and in October 2021, Redes filed a rejoinder with respect to the counterclaims of PRONATEL and the MTC. The arbitration hearing on the merits is presently scheduled to take place in November 2021.
As of the date of the contract terminations, Redes had incurred costs of approximately $157 million related to the design and construction of the project and had received approximately $100 million of payments (inclusive of the approximately $87 million advance payments). Furthermore, upon completion of the transfer of the networks (as completed at the time of the contract terminations) to PRONATEL, which was required upon termination of the contracts and was completed in 2020, PRONATEL and the MTC are able to possess the networks, for which PRONATEL has paid approximately $100 million while also collecting approximately $112 million of bond proceeds. Quanta believes that PRONATEL’s actions represent an abuse of power and unfair and inequitable treatment and that PRONATEL and the MTC have been unjustly enriched. Specifically, under the terms of the contracts, the advance payment bonds were to be exercised only if it is determined that Redes did not use the advance payments for their intended purpose, in which case Redes would be obligated to return the portion of the advance payments not properly used. In connection with PRONATEL exercising the bonds, Redes was not afforded the opportunity to provide evidence of its proper use of the advance payments for project expenditures. Redes has incurred substantially more than the advance payment amounts in the execution of the project, and Quanta believes Redes has used the advance payment amounts for their intended purpose.
Quanta believes Redes is entitled to all amounts described in its claims above and intends to vigorously pursue those claims in the pending ICC arbitration proceeding. However, as a result of the contract terminations and the inherent uncertainty involved in arbitration proceedings and recovery of amounts owed, there can be no assurance that Redes will prevail on those claims or in defense of liquidated damages claims or any other claims asserted by PRONATEL. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, Quanta recorded a charge to earnings of $79.2 million, which included a reduction of previously recognized earnings on the project, a reserve against a portion of the project costs incurred through the project termination date, an accrual for a portion of the alleged liquidated damages, and the estimated costs to complete the project turnover and close out the project. The reduction of previously recognized earnings on the project included $14.5 million related to the correction of prior period errors associated with the determination of total estimated project costs and the resulting revenue recognized. Quanta assessed the materiality of the prior period errors and determined that the errors were immaterial individually and in the aggregate to its previously issued financial statements.
As of September 30, 2021, after taking into account the above charge, Quanta had a contract receivable of approximately $120 million related to the project, which includes the approximately $87 million PRONATEL collected through exercise of the advance payment bonds. The contract receivable from PRONATEL is included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

(Unaudited)
Quanta also reserves the right to seek full compensation for the loss of its investment under applicable legal regimes, including investment treaties and customary international law, as well as to seek resolution through direct discussions with PRONATEL or the MTC. In connection with these rights, in May 2020 Quanta’s Dutch subsidiary delivered to the Peruvian government an official notice of dispute arising from the termination of the contracts and related acts by PRONATEL (which are attributable to Peru) under the Agreement on the Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Peru (Investment Treaty). The Investment Treaty protects Quanta’s subsidiary’s indirect ownership stake in Redes and the project, and provides for rights and remedies distinct from the ICC arbitration. In December 2020, Quanta’s Dutch subsidiary filed a request for the institution of an arbitration proceeding against Peru with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) related to Peru’s breach of the Investment Treaty, which was registered by ICSID in January 2021. In the ICSID arbitration, Quanta’s Dutch subsidiary claims, without limitation, that Peru: (i) treated the subsidiary’s investment in Redes and the project unfairly and inequitably; and (ii) effectively expropriated the subsidiary’s investment in Redes and the project. In addition, Quanta’s Dutch subsidiary is seeking full compensation for all damages arising from Peru’s actions, including but not limited to (i) the fair market value of the investment and/or lost profits; (ii) attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs; (iii) other related costs and damages and (iv) pre- and post-award interest.
If Quanta is not successful in the pending arbitration proceedings, including the ICC arbitration scheduled for November 2021, this matter could result in an additional significant loss that could have a material adverse effect on Quanta’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows. However, based on the information currently available and the status of the pending arbitration proceedings, Quanta is not able to determine a range of reasonably possible additional loss, if any, with respect to this matter.
Maurepas Project Dispute
During the third quarter of 2017, Maurepas Pipeline, LLC (Maurepas) notified QPS Engineering, LLC (QPS), a subsidiary of Quanta, of its claim for liquidated damages allegedly arising from delay in mechanical completion of a project in Louisiana. Quanta disputes the claim and believes that QPS is not responsible for liquidated damages under the contract terms, and in June 2019 QPS filed suit against SemGroup Corporation (now Energy Transfer LP), the parent company of Maurepas, under the parent guarantee issued to secure payment from Maurepas on the project. QPS is seeking to recover $22 million that it believes has been wrongfully withheld, which represents the maximum liability for liquidated damages pursuant to the contract terms. In July and August 2018, QPS also received notice from Maurepas claiming certain warranty defects on the project. In July 2019, Maurepas filed suit against QPS and Quanta, pursuant to a parent guarantee, for damages related to the alleged warranty defects and for a declaratory judgment related to the liquidated damages claim, subsequently claiming approximately $59 million in damages related to a portion of the alleged warranty defects. The lawsuits relating to these claims have been consolidated and are pending in the Tulsa County District Court in Oklahoma. Quanta is continuing to evaluate the claimed warranty defects and, if they exist, the appropriate remedy. At this time, Quanta disputes the extent of the alleged defects or has not been able to substantiate them.
As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had recorded an accrual with respect to this matter based on its current estimated amount of probable loss. Based on the information currently available, including documentation received in the discovery process, Quanta estimates the range of additional reasonably possible loss in connection with this matter is between no additional loss and the amount claimed by Maurepas with respect to the alleged warranty defects and liquidated damages, less the accrued amount. Upon final resolution of this matter, any liquidated damages or warranty defect damages in excess of Quanta’s current loss accrual would be recorded as additional costs on the project.
Lorenzo Benton v. Telecom Network Specialists, Inc., et al.
In June 2006, plaintiff Lorenzo Benton filed a class action complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging various wage and hour violations against Telecom Network Specialists (TNS), a former subsidiary of Quanta. Quanta retained liability associated with this matter pursuant to the terms of Quanta’s sale of TNS in December 2012. Benton represents a class of workers that includes all persons who worked on certain TNS projects, including individuals that TNS retained through numerous staffing agencies. The plaintiff class in this matter is seeking damages for unpaid wages, penalties associated with the failure to provide meal and rest periods and overtime wages, interest and attorneys’ fees. In January 2017, the trial court granted a summary judgment motion filed by the plaintiff class and found that TNS was a joint employer of the class members and that it failed to provide adequate meal and rest breaks and failed to pay overtime wages. During 2019 and 2020, the parties filed additional summary judgment and other motions and a bench trial on liability and damages was held. Liability and damages have been determined by the trial court, with the amount of liability for TNS, including interest through the date of the trial court’s orders, determined to be approximately $9.5 million. Quanta believes the court’s decisions on liability and damages are not supported by controlling law and continues to contest its liability and the damage calculation
34

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
asserted by the plaintiff class in this matter. The amount determined by the trial court includes damages and interest, but does not include attorneys’ fees or costs. In July 2021, the plaintiff class filed a motion for approval of approximately $37.0 million in attorneys’ fees, and in October 2021, Quanta filed a response to the motion opposing approval of substantially all of the claimed attorneys’ fees.
Additionally, in November 2007, TNS filed cross complaints for indemnity and breach of contract against the staffing agencies, which employed many of the individuals in question. In December 2012, the trial court heard cross-motions for summary judgment filed by TNS and the staffing agencies pertaining to TNS’s demand for indemnity. The court denied TNS’s motion and granted the motions filed by the staffing agencies; however, the California Appellate Court reversed the trial court’s decision in part and instructed the trial court to reconsider its ruling. In February 2017, the court denied a new motion for summary judgment filed by the staffing companies and has since stated that the staffing companies would be liable to TNS for any damages owed to the class members that the staffing companies employed. However, Quanta currently believes that, due to solvency issues, any contribution from the staffing companies may not be substantial.
The final amount of liability, if any, payable in connection with this matter remains the subject of pending litigation and will ultimately depend on various factors, including the outcome of Quanta’s appeal of the trial court’s rulings on liability and damages, a final determination with respect to any attorneys’ fees or additional costs or damages owed by Quanta, and the solvency of the staffing agencies. Based on review and analysis of the trial court’s rulings on liability, Quanta does not believe, at this time, that it is probable this matter will result in a material loss. However, if Quanta is unsuccessful in this litigation and the staffing agencies are unable to fund damages owed to class members, Quanta believes the range of reasonably possible loss to Quanta upon final resolution of this matter could be up to approximately $9.5 million, plus the final amount of any attorneys’ fees and expenses awarded to the plaintiff class.
Hallen Acquisition Assumed Liability
In August 2019, in connection with the acquisition of The Hallen Construction Co., Inc. (Hallen), Quanta assumed certain contingent liabilities associated with a March 2014 natural gas-fed explosion and fire in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York. The incident resulted in, among other things, loss of life, personal injury and the destruction of two buildings and other property damage. After investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the incident was the failure of certain natural gas infrastructure installed by Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Ed) and the failure of certain sewer infrastructure maintained by the City of New York. Pursuant to a contract with Con Ed, Hallen had performed certain work related to such natural gas infrastructure and agreed to indemnify Con Ed for certain claims, liabilities and costs associated with its work. Numerous lawsuits are pending in New York state courts related to the incident, which generally name Con Ed, the City of New York and Hallen as defendants. These lawsuits are at various preliminary stages and generally seek unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption.
As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had not recorded an accrual related to this matter. Hallen’s liabilities associated with this matter are expected to be covered under applicable insurance policies or contractual remedies negotiated by Quanta with the former owners of Hallen. If a loss becomes probable and estimable with respect to this matter, Quanta expects to accrue its estimated liability and a receivable in the same amount. However, the ultimate amount of liability in connection with this matter remains subject to uncertainties associated with pending litigation, including, among other things, the apportionment of liability among the defendants and other responsible parties and the likelihood and amount of potential damages claims. As a result, this matter could result in a loss that is in excess of, or not covered by, such insurance or contractual remedies, which could have a material adverse effect on Quanta’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Quanta is subject to concentrations of credit risk related primarily to its cash and cash equivalents and its net receivable position with customers, which includes amounts related to billed and unbilled accounts receivable and contract assets net of advanced billings with the same customer. Substantially all of Quanta’s cash and cash equivalents are managed by what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. In accordance with Quanta’s investment policies, these institutions are authorized to invest cash and cash equivalents in a diversified portfolio of what Quanta believes to be high quality cash and cash equivalent investments, which consist primarily of interest-bearing demand deposits, money market investments and money market mutual funds. Although Quanta does not currently believe the principal amount of these cash and cash equivalents is subject to any material risk of loss, changes in economic conditions could impact the interest income Quanta receives from these investments. In addition, Quanta grants credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, to its customers, which include electric power, communications and energy companies, governmental entities, general contractors, and builders, owners and managers of commercial and industrial properties located primarily in the United States, Canada and
35

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)
Australia. While Quanta generally has certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided, Quanta is subject to potential credit risk related to business, economic and financial market conditions that affect these customers and locations, which has been heightened as a result of the unfavorable and uncertain economic and financial market conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the currently challenged energy market. Some of Quanta’s customers have experienced significant financial difficulties (including bankruptcy), and customers may experience financial difficulties in the future. These difficulties expose Quanta to increased risk related to collectability of billed and unbilled receivables and contract assets for services Quanta has performed.
For example, a customer within Quanta’s Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment encountered financial difficulties during 2020 that resulted in nonpayment of $27.5 million of receivables, plus accrued interest. As a result of the nonpayment, Quanta decided to foreclose the liens on the pipeline asset in order to recover the outstanding amount. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Quanta entered into a settlement with the customer resulting in the sale of the pipeline asset to a third party and pursuant to which Quanta received $10.0 million of the amount owed and the right to receive payment of the remainder of the receivables in quarterly installments from the third party based on the cash flows generated by the pipeline and certain related assets. As a result, the remaining receivable balance of $17.5 million was reclassified to long-term receivables at September 30, 2021. Quanta also retained a security interest in the pipeline asset to secure payment of the remaining amount owed and believes that the value of the pipeline asset is in excess of such amount. However, the ultimate outcome with respect to the amount owed remains uncertain and is based on a number of assumptions that are potentially subject to change, including the future financial performance of the third party and the cash flows generated by the pipeline asset, as well as the future value of the pipeline asset. As a result, the amount ultimately collected could be materially less than the amount owed.
Additionally, in July 2021 Limetree Refining, a customer within Quanta’s Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, after experiencing operational and financial difficulties and shutting down operations at its refinery. See Note 2 for further information related to this customer.
At September 30, 2021, the net receivable position of one customer within Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment, when combined with the net receivable position of a joint venture in which such customer owns a 50% interest, represented 12% of Quanta’s consolidated net receivable position. At December 31, 2020, no customer represented 10% or more of Quanta’s consolidated net receivable position. No customer represented 10% or more of Quanta’s consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
Insurance
Quanta is insured for, among other things, employer’s liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability, aviation and general liability claims. Quanta manages and maintains a portion of its casualty risk through its wholly-owned captive insurance company, which insures all claims up to the amount of the applicable deductible of its third-party insurance programs. Deductibles for the employer’s liability and workers’ compensation programs are $5.0 million per occurrence, and deductibles for the auto liability and general liability programs are $15.0 million per occurrence. Quanta also has employee health care benefit plans for most employees not subject to collective bargaining agreements, of which the primary plan is subject to a deductible of $0.8 million per claimant per year.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the gross amount accrued for employer’s liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, and group health claims totaled $316.8 million and $319.5 million, with $232.8 million and $238.0 million considered to be long-term and included in “Insurance and other non-current liabilities.” Related insurance recoveries/receivables as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $26.1 million and $35.6 million, of which $0.4 million and $0.4 million are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and $25.7 million and $35.2 million are included in “Other assets, net.”
Quanta renews its insurance policies on an annual basis, and therefore deductibles and levels of insurance coverage may change in future periods. In addition, insurers may cancel Quanta’s coverage or determine to exclude certain items from coverage, including wildfires, or Quanta may elect not to obtain certain types or incremental levels of insurance based on the potential benefits considered relative to the cost of such insurance, or coverage may not be available at reasonable and competitive rates. In any such event, Quanta’s overall risk exposure would increase, which could negatively affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For example, due to the increased occurrence and future risk of wildfires in California and other areas in the western United States, Australia and other locations, insurers have reduced coverage availability and increased the cost of insurance coverage for such events in recent years. As a result, Quanta’s level of insurance coverage for wildfire events has decreased, including in connection with recent annual insurance renewals, and the current level
36

QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
of coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential losses in connection with these events. Additionally, Quanta’s third-party insurers could decide to further reduce, exclude or increase the cost of coverage for wildfires or other events in connection with insurance renewals in the future.
Letters of Credit
Certain of Quanta’s vendors require letters of credit to ensure reimbursement for amounts they are disbursing on Quanta’s behalf, such as to beneficiaries under its insurance programs. In addition, from time to time, certain customers require Quanta to post letters of credit to ensure payment of subcontractors and vendors and guarantee performance under contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution, typically pursuant to Quanta’s senior credit facility. Each letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder claims that Quanta has failed to perform specified actions. If this were to occur, Quanta would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, Quanta may also be required to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement.
As of September 30, 2021, Quanta had $333.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under its senior credit facility securing its casualty insurance program and various other contractual commitments. These are irrevocable stand-by letters of credit with maturities generally expiring at various times throughout 2021 and 2022. Quanta expects to renew the majority of the letters of credit related to the casualty insurance program for subsequent one-year periods upon their maturity. Quanta is not aware of any claims currently asserted or threatened under any of these letters of credit that are material, individually or in the aggregate. However, to the extent payment is required for any such claims, the amount paid could be material and could adversely affect Quanta’s consolidated business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Bonds and Parent Guarantees
Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require Quanta to post performance and payment bonds. These bonds provide a guarantee that Quanta will perform under the terms of a contract and pay its subcontractors and vendors. In certain circumstances, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond, and Quanta must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. Quanta may also be required to post letters of credit in favor of the sureties, which would reduce the borrowing availability under its senior credit facility. Quanta has not been required to make any material reimbursements to its sureties for bond-related costs except in connection with the exercise of approximately $112 million advance payment and performance bonds in 2019 related to the terminated telecommunications project in Peru, as set forth in Legal Proceedings - Peru Project Dispute above. However, to the extent further reimbursements are required, the amounts could be material and could adversely affect Quanta’s consolidated business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, Quanta is not aware of any outstanding material obligations for payments related to bond obligations.
Performance bonds expire at various times ranging from mechanical completion of a project to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances, and therefore a determination of maximum potential amounts outstanding requires certain estimates and assumptions. Such amounts can also fluctuate from period to period based upon the mix and level of Quanta’s bonded operating activity. As of September 30, 2021, the total amount of the outstanding performance bonds was estimated to be approximately $3.8 billion. Quanta’s estimated maximum exposure related to the value of the performance bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced, and each commitment under a performance bond generally extinguishes concurrently with the expiration of its related contractual obligation. The estimated cost to complete these bonded projects was approximately $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2021.
Additionally, from time to time, Quanta guarantees certain obligations and liabilities of its subsidiaries that may arise in connection with, among other things, contracts with customers, equipment lease obligations, joint venture arrangements and contractor licenses. These guarantees may cover all of the subsidiary’s unperformed, undischarged and unreleased obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the relevant agreement. For example, with respect to customer contracts, a guarantee may cover a variety of obligations and liabilities arising during the ordinary course of the subsidiary’s business or operations, including, among other things, warranty and breach of contract claims, third party and environmental liabilities arising from the subsidiary’s work and for which it is responsible, liquidated damages, or indemnity claims. Quanta is not aware of any claims under any guarantees that are material, except as set forth in Legal Proceedings – Maurepas Project Dispute above. To the extent a subsidiary incurs a material obligation or liability and Quanta has guaranteed the performance or payment of such obligation or liability, the recovery by a customer or other counterparty or a third party will not be limited to the assets of the subsidiary. As a result, responsibility under the guarantee could exceed the amount recoverable from the subsidiary alone and could materially and adversely affect Quanta’s consolidated business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Collective Bargaining Agreements and Multiemployer Pension Plans
Certain of Quanta’s operating units are parties to collective bargaining agreements with unions that represent certain of their employees. The collective bargaining agreements expire at various times and have typically been renegotiated and renewed on terms similar to those in the expiring agreements. From time to time, Quanta is a party to grievance and arbitration actions based on claims arising out of the collective bargaining agreements. The agreements require the operating units to pay specified wages, provide certain benefits to union employees and contribute certain amounts to multiemployer pension plans and employee benefit trusts. Quanta’s multiemployer pension plan contribution rates generally are made to the plans on a “pay-as-you-go” basis based on its union employee payrolls. The location and number of union employees that Quanta employs at any given time and the plans in which they may participate vary depending on Quanta’s need for union resources in connection with its ongoing projects. Therefore, Quanta is unable to accurately predict its union employee payroll and the resulting multiemployer pension plan contribution obligations for future periods.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 may require Quanta to make additional contributions to its multiemployer pension plans if they become underfunded, and these additional contributions will be determined based on Quanta’s union employee payrolls. Certain plans to which Quanta contributes or may contribute in the future may adopt measures to improve their funded status through a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan, as applicable, which may require additional contributions from employers (e.g., a surcharge on benefit contributions) and/or modifications to retiree benefits. The amount, if any, that Quanta may be obligated to contribute to these plans cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainty regarding the amount of future work involving covered union employees, future contribution levels and possible surcharges on plan contributions.
Quanta may be subject to additional liabilities imposed by law as a result of its participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. These liabilities may include an allocable share of the unfunded vested benefits in the plan for all plan participants, not only the benefits payable to a contributing employer’s own retirees. As a result, participating employers may bear a higher proportion of liability for unfunded vested benefits if other participating employers cease to contribute or withdraw, with the reallocation of liability being more acute in cases when a withdrawn employer is insolvent or otherwise fails to pay its withdrawal liability. Quanta is not aware of any material withdrawal liabilities that have been incurred or asserted and that remain outstanding as a result of a withdrawal by Quanta from a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan. However, Quanta’s future contribution obligations and potential withdrawal liability exposure could vary based on the investment and actuarial performance of the multiemployer pension plans to which it contributes and other factors, which could be negatively impacted as a result of the unfavorable and uncertain economic and financial market conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related issues. Quanta has been subject to significant withdrawal liabilities in the past, including in connection with its withdrawal from the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan. To the extent Quanta is subject to material withdrawal liabilities in the future, such liability could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Deferred Compensation Plans
Quanta made matching contributions to the eligible participants’ accounts under deferred compensation plans of $0.2 million during each the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Quanta made matching contributions to the eligible participants’ accounts under the deferred compensation plans of $1.0 million during each the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Quanta made no discretionary contributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, obligations under these plans, including amounts contributed by Quanta, were $69.1 million and $58.2 million, the majority of which were included in “Insurance and other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Quanta maintains investments to contribute to future obligations related to these deferred compensation plans. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, these investments were primarily comprised of company-owned life insurance policies, had fair market values of $68.4 million and $56.5 million and were included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair market value of assets associated with our deferred compensation plan decreased $0.2 million and increased $2.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair market value of assets associated with our deferred compensation plan increased $5.3 million and $1.9 million. These changes in fair market value of the assets are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” and were largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of the liabilities associated with our deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair market value of deferred compensation liabilities did not change and increased $3.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair market value of deferred compensation liabilities increased $6.0 million and $1.9 million.

Indemnities
Quanta generally indemnifies its customers for the services it provides under its contracts and other specified liabilities, which may subject Quanta to indemnity claims and liabilities and related litigation. Additionally, in connection with certain acquisitions and dispositions, Quanta has indemnified various parties against specified liabilities that those parties might incur in the future. The indemnities under acquisition or disposition agreements are usually contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. Quanta is not aware of any indemnity claims in connection with its indemnity obligations that are material. However, to the extent indemnification is required, the amount could adversely affect Quanta’s consolidated business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In the normal course of Quanta’s acquisition transactions, Quanta obtains rights to indemnification from the sellers or former owners of acquired businesses for certain risks, liabilities and obligations arising from their operations prior to the date of acquisition, such as performance, operational, safety, workforce or tax issues, some of which Quanta may not have discovered during due diligence. However, the indemnities may not cover all of Quanta’s exposure for such pre-acquisition matters, or the indemnitors may be unwilling or unable to pay amounts owed to Quanta. Accordingly, Quanta may incur expenses for which it is not reimbursed, and such amounts could be material and could have a material adverse effect on Quanta’s business or consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, Quanta has obtained certain indemnification rights from the former owners of Hallen with respect to contingent liabilities that were assumed in connection with the acquisition, as set forth in Legal Proceedings — Hallen Acquisition Assumed Liability above.
Residual Value Guarantees
Quanta has also guaranteed the residual value under certain of its equipment operating leases, agreeing to pay any difference between this residual value and the fair market value of the underlying asset at the date of lease termination. As of September 30, 2021, the maximum guaranteed residual value of this equipment was $886.9 million. While Quanta believes that no significant payments will be made as a result of these residual value guarantees, there can be no assurance that significant payments will not be required in the future.
Deferral of Employer Payroll Taxes
During 2020, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), which provided for various tax relief and tax incentive measures. These measures did not have a material impact on Quanta’s results of operations. However, pursuant to the CARES Act, Quanta deferred the payment of $108.9 million of employer payroll taxes during the year ended December 31, 2020, 50% of which are due to be paid by December 31, 2021 and the remainder is due by December 31, 2022.
11. SEGMENT INFORMATION:
Quanta currently presents its operations under two reportable segments: (1) Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions and (2) Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions. This structure is generally based on the broad end-user markets for Quanta’s services. See Note 1 for additional information regarding Quanta’s reportable segments.
Quanta’s segment results are derived from the types of services provided across its operating units in each of its end user markets. Quanta’s entrepreneurial business model allows multiple operating units to serve the same or similar customers and to provide a range of services across end user markets. Quanta’s operating units are organized into one of two internal divisions: the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions Division and the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Division. These internal divisions are closely aligned with the reportable segments, and operating units are assigned to divisions based on the predominant type of work performed.
Reportable segment information, including revenues and operating income by type of work, is gathered from each operating unit for the purpose of evaluating segment performance in support of Quanta’s market strategies. Classification of operating unit revenues by type of work for segment reporting purposes can require judgment on the part of management. Quanta’s operating units may perform joint projects for customers in multiple industries, deliver multiple types of services under a single customer contract or provide service offerings to various industries. For example, Quanta performs joint trenching projects to install distribution lines for electric power and natural gas customers.
In addition, Quanta’s integrated operations and common administrative support for its operating units require that certain allocations be made to determine segment profitability, including allocations of shared and indirect costs (e.g., facility costs), indirect operating expenses (e.g., depreciation), and general and administrative costs. Certain corporate costs are not allocated

(1) As of December 31, 2020, Quanta had substantially completed the exit of its operations in Latin America. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating income for the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment included $15.4 million and $46.9 million of operating losses related to Latin American operations.
(2) Operating income for the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment includes equity in earnings of integral unconsolidated affiliates that are operationally integral to the operations of Quanta, which primarily consists of equity in earnings related to Quanta’s equity interest in LUMA.
Separate measures of Quanta’s assets and cash flows by reportable segment, including capital expenditures, are not produced or utilized by management to evaluate segment performance. Quanta’s fixed assets, which are held at the operating unit level, include operating machinery, equipment and vehicles, office equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements, and certain units are used on an interchangeable basis across its reportable segments. As such, for reporting purposes, total depreciation expense is allocated each quarter among Quanta’s reportable segments based on the ratio of each reportable segment’s revenue contribution to consolidated revenues.
Foreign Operations
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Quanta derived $460.8 million and $390.6 million of its revenues from foreign operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Quanta derived $1.39 billion and $1.18 billion of its revenues from foreign operations. Of Quanta’s foreign revenues, 83% and 82% were earned in Canada during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and 81% and 77% were earned in Canada during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. In addition, Quanta held property and equipment of $317.6 million and $336.4 million in foreign countries, primarily Canada, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On October 13, 2021, Quanta completed the acquisition of Blattner, a large utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure solutions provider located in North America. The consideration for this transaction, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments, consisted of approximately $2.29 billion paid in cash on the date of acquisition and 3.3 million shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $345.4 million as of the date of the acquisition. See Note 1 and Note 4 for additional information on Blattner and Quanta’s acquisition of Blattner. Additionally, on October 8, 2021, Quanta amended its senior credit facility to, among other things, provide for a new $750.0 million term loan facility, increase the aggregate revolving commitments from $2.51 billion to $2.64 billion and extend the maturity date for the revolving commitments from September 2025 to October 2026. Quanta used proceeds from the new term loan, together with the net proceeds from its offering of senior notes in September 2021 and revolving loans borrowed under the senior credit facility, to finance the cash portion of the consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Blattner. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the amendment to Quanta’s senior credit facility.
In October 2021, Quanta also acquired (i) a 44% interest in an entity that will be accounted for as an integral affiliate using the equity method of accounting and (ii) a business located in the United States that provides electric power construction and related services. See Note 2 and Note 4 for additional information on this investment and acquisition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Quanta Services, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Quanta, we, us or our) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and with our 2020 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on our website at www.quantaservices.com. 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 Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements and Information above, in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part II of this Quarterly Report and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2020 Annual Report.
Overview
We are a leading provider of specialty contracting services, delivering comprehensive infrastructure solutions for the electric and gas utility, renewable energy, communications, pipeline and energy industries in the United States, Canada, Australia and select other international markets. The performance of our business generally depends on our ability to obtain contracts with customers and to effectively deliver the services provided under those contracts. The services we provide include the design, engineering, new construction, upgrade and repair and maintenance of infrastructure within each of the industries we serve, such as electric power transmission and distribution networks; substation facilities; wind and solar energy generation and battery storage facilities; communications and cable multi-system operator networks; gas utility systems; and pipeline transmission systems and facilities. Our customers include many of the leading companies in the industries we serve, and we endeavor to develop and maintain strategic alliances and preferred service provider status with our customers. Our services are typically provided pursuant to master service agreements, repair and maintenance contracts and fixed price and non-fixed price new construction contracts.
We report our results under two reportable segments: (1) Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions and (2) Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for our services. Included within the Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment are the results related to our communications infrastructure services.

43

As described below, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, our results reflected certain significant operational trends and events as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions Segment
•Revenues increased by 10.5% to $2.33 billion, as compared to $2.11 billion.
•Operating income increased by 7.4% to $288.3 million, as compared to $268.4 million, and operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 12.4%, as compared to 12.7%.
•Revenues increased primarily due to continued favorable dynamics across our core utility market and increased demand for our electric power services, as well as approximately $55 million of revenues from acquired businesses, $27 million in incremental emergency restoration services revenues and a $15 million positive impact related to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rate.
•Operating income increased primarily due to increased revenues and operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased due to normal project variability and higher general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to lower than normal levels for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Segment
•Revenues increased by 12.3% to $1.02 billion, as compared to $912.5 million.
•Operating income decreased by 10.6% to $68.2 million, as compared to $76.2 million, and operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.7%, as compared to 8.4%.
•Revenues increased primarily due to increased revenues from gas distribution and industrial services and a $10 million increase in revenues attributable to acquired businesses.
•Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to adjustments on certain large pipeline projects that favorably impacted the three months ended September 30, 2020, which were associated with the recognition of previously deferred milestone payments and reduced contingencies due to a reduction in the scope of work on a project that is now complete, as well as the completion of certain other projects earlier than anticipated.
See Business Environment, Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional information and discussion related to consolidated and segment results.
Recent Significant Acquisition
On October 13, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Blattner, a large utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure solutions provider that is located in and primarily operates in North America. Consideration for this transaction consisted of approximately $2.29 billion paid in cash on the date of acquisition and 3.3 million shares of Quanta common stock, which had a fair value of $345.4 million as of the date of the acquisition. The final amount of consideration for this acquisition remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including with respect to net working capital. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, the former Blattner owners are eligible for the potential payment of up to $300 million of contingent consideration, payable to the extent the acquired business achieves certain financial performance targets over a three-year period beginning in January 2022. Blattner’s results will be included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. We are in the process of performing procedures to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of Blattner, including the fair value assessment of contingent consideration, and will include the preliminary purchase price allocation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Business Environment
We believe there are long-term growth opportunities across our industries, and we continue to have a positive long-term outlook. Although not without risks and challenges, including those discussed in Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements and Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part II of this Quarterly Report and Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2020 Annual Report, we believe, with our full-service operations, broad geographic reach, financial position and technical expertise, we are well positioned to capitalize on opportunities and trends in our industries.
Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions. Utilities are investing significant capital in their electric power delivery systems, particularly transmission, substation and distribution infrastructure, through multi-year, multi-billion dollar grid modernization and reliability programs, which have provided, and are expected to continue to provide, demand for our services. As the overall
44

electrification trends in North America support a transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, utilities are accommodating a changing fuel generation mix that is moving toward more sustainable sources such as renewables (e.g., wind, solar and battery storage) and natural gas and replacing aging infrastructure to support long-term economic growth. We believe this trend will generate significant demand in the near- and longer-term for our services, including the development and construction of generation facilities powered by renewable energy sources (e.g., wind and solar) and certain traditional energy sources (e.g., natural gas), the development and construction of related infrastructure (e.g., battery storage), and the modernization of existing assets. While the demand for certain renewable energy services is expected to fluctuate in the short term due to, among other things, supply chain and other logistical difficulties that could delay projects, production tax credits and sourcing restrictions on materials necessary for certain projects (e.g., solar panels), we believe our recent acquisition of Blattner, together with the renewable energy and related services performed by our other operating companies, positions us to capitalize on the longer term growth trends with respect to the development of wind, solar and storage capacity infrastructure.
Furthermore, while the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a short-term overall decline in electricity usage in 2020, primarily related to commercial and industrial users, demand has recovered and continues to increase in 2021, and we expect demand for electricity in North America to grow over the long term and believe that certain segments of the North American electric power grid are not adequate to efficiently serve the power needs of the future. To the extent that electrification trends increase, including through electric vehicle (EV) adoption, demand for electricity could be greater than currently anticipated. To accommodate this growth, we expect continued demand for new or expanded transmission and substation infrastructure to reliably transport power and interconnect new generation facilities and the modification and reengineering of existing infrastructure as existing coal and nuclear generation facilities are retired or shut down.
In order to reliably and efficiently deliver power, and in response to federal reliability standards, utilities are also integrating smart grid technologies into distribution systems in order to improve grid management and create efficiencies, and in preparation for emerging technologies such as EVs. A number of utilities have and continue to implement system upgrades or hardening programs in response to recurring severe weather events, such as hurricanes and wildfires, and, in particular, there are significant system resiliency initiatives in California and other regions in the western U.S. underway that are designed to prevent and manage the impact of wildfires. These resiliency initiatives provide additional opportunities for our services; however, they also increase our potential exposure to significant liabilities attributable to those events. Utilities are also executing significant initiatives to underground critical infrastructure, including additional underground transmission and distribution initiatives by utilities in California, underground electric transmission projects in the northeast, underground distribution circuits along the coastlines and underground transmission lines for offshore wind generation projects.
With respect to our communications service offerings, consumer and commercial demand for communication and data-intensive, high-bandwidth wireline and wireless services and applications is driving significant investment in infrastructure and the deployment of new technologies. In particular, communications providers in North America are in the early stages of developing new fifth generation wireless services (5G), which are intended to facilitate bandwidth-intensive services at high speeds for consumers and commercial applications. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission has enacted the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund for the purpose of deploying billions of dollars in federal funds for high speed fixed broadband service to underserved rural homes and small businesses. As a result of these industry trends, we believe there will be meaningful demand for our engineering and construction services. We also reoriented our communications service offerings to strategically focus on the North American market, substantially completing the exit of our Latin American communications operations during 2020, which we anticipate will result in improved profitability within our communications services operations.
Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions. For several years we have focused on increasing our underground utility and infrastructure solutions related to specialty services and industries that we believe are driven by regulated utility spending, regulation, replacement and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure and safety and environmental initiatives, which we believe provide a greater level of business sustainability and predictability. These service offerings include gas utility services, pipeline integrity services and downstream industrial services. We believe focusing on these services helps to offset the seasonality and cyclicality of our larger pipeline project business, and although our strategic focus on larger pipeline projects has decreased, we continue to pursue project opportunities to the extent they satisfy our margin and risk profiles and support the needs of our customers. Though we experienced short-term disruptions in 2020 and to a lesser extent to date in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe demand for our gas utility distribution services will increase as a result of customer desire to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure and increasing regulatory requirements. In particular, natural gas utilities have implemented multi-decade modernization programs to replace aging cast iron, bare steel, gas and plastic system infrastructure with modern materials for safety, reliability and environmental purposes.
We believe there are also growth opportunities for our pipeline integrity, rehabilitation and replacement services, as regulatory measures have increased the frequency and stringency of pipeline integrity testing requirements that require our customers to test, inspect, repair, maintain and replace pipeline infrastructure to ensure that it operates in a safe, reliable and environmentally conscious manner. Further, permitting challenges associated with construction of new pipelines can make
45

existing pipeline infrastructure more valuable, motivating owners to extend the useful life of existing pipeline assets through integrity initiatives.
Broader challenges in the energy market, which have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, have materially impacted, and are expected to continue to materially impact, our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment. In particular, demand for our midstream and industrial services operations has declined as customers reduced and deferred regularly scheduled maintenance and capital projects due to lack of demand for refined products. Our services to downstream industrial energy customers, which are primarily located along the Gulf Coast of the United States and in other select markets in North America, have been negatively impacted by the challenging overall energy market conditions that resulted in an overall decline in global demand for refined products during 2020 and 2021. While demand for our critical path catalyst services has remained solid, in the second half of 2020 customers began reducing onsite activity for our other services and have deferred maintenance and certain turnaround projects to late 2021 and 2022. Despite the current market conditions, we believe there are significant long-term opportunities for these services, including our high-pressure and critical-path turnaround services, as well as our capabilities with respect to instrumentation and electrical services, piping, fabrication and storage tanks services, and other industrial services, and that processing facilities located along the U.S. Gulf Coast region should have certain long-term strategic advantages due to their proximity to affordable hydrocarbon resources. However, these processing facilities can also be negatively impacted for short-term periods due to severe weather events, such as hurricanes, tropical storms and floods.
Furthermore, the broader oil and gas industry is highly cyclical and subject to price and production volume volatility, which can impact demand for our services. For example, certain of our end markets where the price of oil is influential, such as Australia, the Canadian Oil Sands and certain oil-driven U.S. shale formations, have been materially impacted by challenged energy market conditions. We have also entered the late-stage of the current construction cycle of larger pipeline projects, while the anticipated next cycle of larger projects could be impacted by various factors, including, among other things, permitting delays and worksite access limitations related to environmental regulations. As a result of these dynamics, our revenues related to larger pipeline projects have declined significantly over the last few years. This dynamic is supportive of our increased focus on specialty services and industries that are driven by regulated utility spending, regulation, replacement and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure and safety and environmental initiatives, which we believe provide a greater level of business sustainability and predictability.
Lastly, we believe there are also longer-term opportunities that may arise in this segment. For example, we believe natural gas, due to its expected abundant supply and attractive price over the long-term, will remain a fuel of choice for both primary power generation and backup power generation for renewable power plants in North America, which we believe could position North America as a leading competitor in the global LNG export market. In certain areas, the existing pipeline system infrastructure is insufficient to support any future LNG export facilities, which could provide additional opportunities for our business. We also believe that customers in this segment may implement strategies to reduce carbon emissions produced from their operations, which could provide incremental opportunities for our services, including developing infrastructure for blending hydrogen into natural gas flow to customers, further investment in renewable energy generation opportunities and carbon capture projects that could include building or repurposing pipeline infrastructure. While certain customers are in various stages of evaluating these types of strategies, we expect that any meaningful opportunities would only arise in the longer term.
COVID-19 Pandemic and Related Economic Impact. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to significantly impact global economies due to, among other things, workforce and travel restrictions and supply chain, production and other logistical disruptions. While we have continued to operate substantially all of our activities as a provider of essential services, during the course of the pandemic our operations and financial results have been adversely impacted by reduced customer spending and demand for certain of our services (including as described above), as well as governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including shut-down orders and limitations on work site practices implemented by governments, which have negatively impacted (i) our Canadian operations and financial results during 2020 and to date in 2021; (ii) our Australian operations and financial results during 2020 and to date in 2021; (iii) our operations in certain major U.S. metropolitan markets that were meaningfully impacted by the pandemic during the first and second quarters of 2020; and (iv) our Latin American operations during 2020.
Additionally, vaccination and testing requirements related to COVID-19 could impact our business in the future. In September 2021, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was directed to implement an emergency temporary standard requiring employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or to require unvaccinated workers to produce a negative COVID-19 test result on at least a weekly basis. This standard has been issued and is expected to be published on November 5, 2021 and fully applicable by January 2022. The standard will apply to us and the costs related to mandatory testing could represent a substantial expense to us. Additionally, in September 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that requires federal contractors and subcontractors to mandate their employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 2022. Some of our operating companies, as well as many of our customers, are considered federal contractors, or are performing work under contracts covered by the executive order. As such, employees of those
46

operating companies may need to be fully vaccinated to perform related work. In addition, many of our customers have established, or we believe are in the process of establishing, vaccination requirements that would apply to our employees performing work on their premises, or in proximity of their employees. The implementation of these vaccination and testing requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the event that, among other things, a significant portion of our workforce does not choose to become vaccinated, the costs related to mandatory testing for unvaccinated employees are significant, the time away from work for testing is disruptive to our operations, or our unvaccinated employees are unable to perform work for customers that require vaccination.
We also continue to monitor supply chain and other logistical challenges with respect to certain materials and equipment necessary for the performance of our business, including, among other things, availability and costs related to steel, materials for renewable energy projects, new vehicles for our fleet (both on-road and specialty vehicles) and vehicle parts (e.g., tires). For example, we believe some participants in the renewable energy market are experiencing supply chain challenges, resulting in delays and shortages of materials necessary for the construction of renewable projects in the near term. While we believe many of our renewable energy customers are generally better equipped to manage near-term supply chain disruptions than smaller competitors, these challenges could impact our ability to perform renewable services during this period. Additionally, based on, among other things, the significant worldwide shortage of semiconductors, vehicle manufacturers are experiencing production delays with respect to vehicles we utilize in our operations. While we believe we have taken steps to secure delivery of such vehicles in the near term and do not anticipate any significant disruptions with respect to our fleet, to the extent the production issues become worse than expected or become longer-term in nature, our operations could be negatively impacted.
The broader and longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance and position remain highly uncertain and variable, and we expect continued operational challenges in the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 for portions of our operations. The future impact that the pandemic, or any resulting market disruption and volatility, will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, including, among others, the duration and severity of the pandemic; the actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers and other third parties in response to the pandemic and the consequences of those actions; our workforce availability; and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume and continue.
Regulatory Challenges and Opportunities. The regulatory environment creates both challenges and opportunities for our business, and in recent years electric power infrastructure solutions and underground utility and infrastructure solutions margins have been impacted by regulatory and permitting delays in certain periods, particularly with respect to larger electric transmission and larger pipeline projects. Regulatory and environmental permitting processes continue to create uncertainty for projects and negatively impact customer spending, and delays have increased as the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted regulatory agency operations. For example, recent changes to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit 12 and related executive orders have impacted certain projects and resulted in increased costs and project interruptions and delays as customers are increasingly forced to seek additional or revised individual permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
However, we believe that there are also several existing, pending or proposed legislative or regulatory actions that may alleviate certain regulatory and permitting issues and positively impact long-term demand, particularly in connection with electric power infrastructure and renewable energy spending. For example, regulatory changes affecting siting and right-of-way processes could potentially accelerate construction for transmission projects, and state and federal reliability standards are creating incentives for system investment and maintenance. Additionally, as described above, we consider renewable energy, including solar and wind generation facilities, to be an ongoing opportunity; however, policy and economic incentives designed to support and encourage such projects can create variability of project timing.
Labor Resource Availability and Cost. We continue to address the longer-term need for additional labor resources in our markets, as our customers continue to seek additional specialized labor resources to address an aging utility workforce and longer-term labor availability issues, increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve reliability, and increasing duration and complexity of their capital programs. We believe these trends will continue, possibly to such a degree that demand for labor resources will outpace supply. Furthermore, the increased demand for our services based on the dynamics described above can create shortages of qualified labor in our markets. Our ability to capitalize on available opportunities is limited by our ability to employ, train and retain the necessary skilled personnel, and therefore we are taking proactive steps to develop our workforce, including through strategic relationships with universities, the military and unions and the expansion and development of our training facility and postsecondary educational institution. Although we believe these initiatives will help address workforce needs, meeting our customers’ demand for labor resources could remain challenging.
Additionally, we continue to monitor our labor markets and expect labor costs to increase based on increased demand for our services and, to a lesser extent, the recent escalated inflationary environment in the United States. Our labor costs are passed through in certain of our contracts, and the portion of our workforce that is represented by labor unions typically operate under
47

multi-year collective bargaining agreements, which provide some visibility into future labor costs. While we do not currently believe this environment will present a material risk to our profitability and would expect to be able to adjust contract pricing with certain customers to the extent wages and other labor costs increase, whether due to renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements or market conditions, meaningful increases in our labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows to the extent we cannot do so.
Acquisitions and Investments. We believe potential acquisition and investment opportunities exist in our industries and adjacent industries, primarily due to the highly fragmented and evolving nature of those industries and inability of many companies to expand due to capital or liquidity constraints. We continue to evaluate opportunities that are expected to, among other things, broaden our customer base, expand our geographic area of operations and grow and diversify our portfolio of services.
Significant Factors Impacting Results
Our revenues, margins and other results of operations can be influenced by a variety of factors in any given period, including those described in Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements and Information above, Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part II of this Quarterly Report and Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2020 Annual Report, and those factors have caused fluctuations in our results in the past and are expected to cause fluctuations in our results in the future. Additional information with respect to certain of those factors is provided below.
Seasonality. Typically, our revenues are lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions can create challenging working environments that are more costly for our customers or cause delays on projects. In addition, infrastructure projects often do not begin in a meaningful way until our customers finalize their capital budgets, which typically occurs during the first quarter. Second quarter revenues are typically higher than those in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often impact productivity. Third quarter revenues are typically the highest of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and operating conditions, including weather, are normally more accommodating. Generally, revenues during the fourth quarter are lower than the third quarter but higher than the second quarter, as many projects are completed and customers often seek to spend their capital budgets before year end. However, the holiday season and inclement weather can sometimes cause delays during the fourth quarter, reducing revenues and increasing costs. These seasonal impacts are typical for our U.S. operations, but seasonality for our international operations may differ. For example, revenues in Canada are typically higher in the first quarter because projects are often accelerated in order to complete work while the ground is frozen and prior to the break up, or seasonal thaw, as productivity is adversely affected by wet ground conditions during warmer months. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic affected typical seasonality during 2020, and our typical seasonality could also be impacted during the remainder of 2021 due to continued uncertainty regarding the future impact of the pandemic.
Weather, natural disasters and emergencies. The results of our business in a given period can be impacted by adverse weather conditions, severe weather events, natural disasters or other emergencies, which include, among other things, heavy or prolonged snowfall or rainfall, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, extreme temperatures, wildfires, post-wildfire floods and debris flows, pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) and earthquakes. These conditions and events can negatively impact our financial results due to, among other things, the termination, deferral or delay of projects, reduced productivity and exposure to significant liabilities. See Overview – Business Environment above for further discussion regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in some cases, severe weather events can increase our emergency restoration services, which typically yield higher margins due in part to higher equipment utilization and absorption of fixed costs.
Demand for services. We perform the majority of our services under existing contracts, including master service agreements (MSAs) and similar agreements pursuant to which our customers are not committed to specific volumes of our services. Therefore our volume of business can be positively or negatively affected by fluctuations in the amount of work our customers assign us in a given period, which may vary by geographic region. For example, to the extent our customers accelerate grid modernization or hardening programs or face deadlines to meet regulatory requirements for rehabilitation, reliability or efficiency, our volume of work could increase under existing agreements. Also, as described above in Overview – Business Environment, we have experienced reductions in demand for certain services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the currently challenged energy market. Examples of other items that may cause demand for our services to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter include: the financial condition of our customers, their capital spending and their access to capital; economic and political conditions on a regional, national or global scale, including interest rates, governmental regulations affecting the sourcing of materials and equipment, and other changes in U.S. and global trade relationships; and project deferrals and cancellations.
Revenue mix and impact on margins. The mix of revenues based on the types of services we provide in a given period will impact margins, as certain industries and services provide higher-margin opportunities. Our larger or more complex
48

projects typically include, among others, electric transmission projects with higher voltage capacities; pipeline projects with larger-diameter throughput capacities; large-scale renewable generation projects, which we expect to increase subsequent to our acquisition of Blattner; and projects with increased engineering, design or construction complexities, more difficult terrain or geographical requirements, or longer distance requirements. These projects typically yield opportunities for higher margins than our recurring services under MSAs described above, as we assume a greater degree of performance risk and there is greater utilization of our resources for longer construction timeframes. However, larger projects are subject to additional risk of regulatory delay and cyclicality. For example, our revenues with respect to larger electric transmission and pipeline projects have declined significantly in recent years, and a significant number of larger projects have been delayed or cancelled during that same period. Project schedules also fluctuate, particularly in connection with larger, more complex or longer-term projects, which can affect the amount of work performed in a given period. Furthermore, smaller or less complex projects typically have a greater number of companies competing for them, and competitors at times may more aggressively pursue available work. A greater percentage of smaller scale or less complex work also could negatively impact margins due to the inefficiency of transitioning between a greater number of smaller projects versus continuous production on fewer larger projects. As a result, at times we may choose to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on larger projects when they move forward.
Project variability and performance. Margins for a single project may fluctuate period to period due to changes in the volume or type of work performed, the pricing structure under the project contract or job productivity. Additionally, our productivity and performance on a project can vary period to period based on a number of factors, including unexpected project difficulties or site conditions (including in connection with difficult geographic characteristics); project location, including locations with challenging operating conditions; whether the work is on an open or encumbered right of way; inclement weather or severe weather events; environmental restrictions or regulatory delays; protests, other political activity or legal challenges related to a project; and the performance of third parties. Moreover, we currently generate a significant portion of our revenues under fixed price contracts, and fixed price contracts are more common in connection with our larger and more complex projects that typically involve greater performance risk. Furthermore, subsequent to our acquisition of Blattner, we expect the portion of our revenues generated under fixed price contracts to increase significantly. Under these contracts, we assume risks related to project estimates and execution, and project revenues can vary, sometimes substantially, from our original projections due to a variety of factors, including the additional complexity, timing uncertainty or extended bidding, regulatory and permitting processes associated with these projects. These variations can result in a reduction in expected profit or the incurrence of losses on a project or the issuance of change orders or assertion of contract claims against customers. See Revenue Recognition - Contract Estimates in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further information regarding changes in estimated contract revenues and/or project costs, including any significant project gains or losses in connection with fixed price contracts that have impacted our results, and determinations with respect to the recognition of change orders and claims as contract price adjustments.
Subcontract work and provision of materials. Work that is subcontracted to other service providers generally yields lower margins, and therefore an increase in subcontract work in a given period can decrease margins. In recent years, we have subcontracted approximately 15% to 20% of our work to other service providers. Our customers are usually responsible for supplying the materials for their projects. However, under some contracts, including contracts for projects where we provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, we agree to procure all or part of the required materials. Margins may be lower on projects where we furnish a significant amount of materials, as our markup on materials is generally lower than our markup on labor costs, and in a given period an increase in the percentage of work with greater materials procurement requirements may decrease our overall margins. Furthermore, fluctuations in the price or availability of materials and equipment we or our customers procure may impact our margins or cause delays on projects, including as a result of inflation; supply chain and other logistical challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise; governmental regulations affecting the sourcing of materials and equipment and other changes in U.S. or global trade relationships; or other economic or political conditions.
Foreign currency risk. Our financial performance is reported on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis but is partially subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily Canadian dollars and Australian dollars, can materially impact our results of operations and impact comparability between periods.

* The percentage change is not meaningful.
Revenues. Revenues increased primarily due to a $220.8 million increase in revenues from our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment as a result of strong demand for our electric power services and a $112.3 million increase in revenues from our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment as a result of increased demand for gas distribution and industrial services. See Segment Results below for additional information and discussion related to segment revenues.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased due to the increase in revenues and improved utilization and fixed cost absorption in both our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment and Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment. See Segment Results below for additional information and discussion related to segment operating income (loss).
Equity in earnings of integral unconsolidated affiliates. The amount for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to our portion of amounts earned by LUMA Energy, LLC (LUMA).
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially attributable to a $15.2 million increase in compensation expense, which was primarily due to increased personnel to support business growth and increased incentive compensation expense as a result of higher levels of operating performance, and a $5.0 million increase in travel and related expenses, which were below historical levels in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These increased expenses were partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in expense related to deferred compensation liabilities. The changes in fair market value of deferred compensation liabilities were offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of assets associated with the deferred compensation plan, and these corresponding changes are included in other income (expense), net.
Amortization of intangible assets. The increase was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses, partially offset by reduced amortization expense from older acquired intangible assets, as certain of those assets became fully amortized.
50

Change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Contingent consideration liabilities are payable in the event certain performance objectives are achieved by an acquired business during designated post-acquisition periods. The change in fair value associated with these liabilities was primarily due to changes in performance in post-acquisition measurement periods by certain acquired businesses and the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations. Further changes in fair value are expected to be recorded periodically until the contingent consideration liabilities are settled.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher levels of debt and a higher weighted average interest rate as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Other income (expense), net. The net other income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included $4.9 million related to foreign currency exchange gains, as compared to $1.5 million related to foreign currency exchange gains for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Also included in other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.2 million of expense associated with our deferred compensation plan, as compared to $2.8 million of income during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The amounts associated with the deferred compensation plan were largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of the liabilities associated with our deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 26.0% and 30.1%. The lower rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among various taxing jurisdictions.
Other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) results from translation of the balance sheets of our foreign operating units, which are primarily located in Canada and Australia and have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and therefore are affected by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against such currencies. The loss in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian and Australian dollars as of September 30, 2021 when compared to June 30, 2021. The gain in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian and Australian dollars as of September 30, 2020 when compared to June 30, 2020.

* The percentage change is not meaningful.
Revenues. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased revenues of $868.8 million from our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment due to strong demand for our electric power services, partially offset by decreased revenues of $102.6 million from our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment, primarily due to a reduction in services related to large pipeline transmission projects and the challenged energy market conditions, which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This reduction in services in our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment was partially offset by an increase in demand for gas distribution and industrial services during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Segment Results below for additional information and discussion related to segment revenues.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased due to an increase in revenues and improved utilization and fixed cost absorption from our Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions segment, partially offset by reduced revenues and decreased utilization and fixed cost absorption from our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment. See Segment Results below for additional information and discussion related to segment operating income (loss).
Equity in earnings of integral unconsolidated affiliates. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to our portion of amounts earned by LUMA.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to a $26.7 million increase in compensation expense, largely associated with increased incentive and non-cash stock compensation expense as a result of higher levels of operating performance and an increase in salaries and benefits due to increased personnel to support business growth; a $21.9 million increase in expenses associated with acquired businesses; and a $21.3 million increase in provision for credit loss, primarily related to the recognition of the provision for credit loss related to a receivable from a customer that declared bankruptcy in July 2021 and its affiliate, which is described further in Concentrations of Credit Risk within Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report. Also contributing to the increase were a $4.8 million increase in travel and related expenses, which were below historical levels in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a $4.1 million increase in expense related to deferred compensation liabilities. The fair market value changes in deferred compensation liabilities were offset by changes in the fair value of assets associated
52

with the deferred compensation plan, which are included in other income (expense), net below. Partially offsetting these increases were $6.5 million of incremental gains on sales of property and equipment.
Amortization of intangible assets. The increase was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses, partially offset by reduced amortization expense associated with older acquired intangible assets, as certain of these assets became fully amortized.
Asset impairment charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a $2.3 million asset impairment charge related to certain equipment that was not utilized in our core operations and was subsequently sold in October 2021.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Contingent consideration liabilities are payable in the event certain performance objectives are achieved by an acquired business during designated post-acquisition periods. The change in fair value associated with these liabilities was primarily due to changes in performance in post-acquisition measurement periods by certain acquired businesses and the effect of present value accretion on fair value calculations. Further changes in fair value are expected to be recorded periodically until the contingent consideration liabilities are settled.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased primarily due to higher levels of outstanding debt and a higher weighted average interest rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020.
Interest income. Interest income increased primarily due to interest received related to a settlement with a customer.
Other income (expense), net. The net other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $6.5 million related to foreign currency exchange gains, as compared to $4.9 million of foreign currency exchange gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Also favorably impacting other income was $5.3 million of income associated with our deferred compensation plan, as compared to $1.9 million of income in 2020. This income related to the deferred compensation plan was largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of the liabilities associated with our deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above. Also favorably impacting the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were a $2.5 million benefit payment from a company-owned life insurance policy held in connection with our deferred compensation plan and $1.9 million of equity in earnings of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates. The net other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 also included a $9.3 million impairment associated with an investment in a water and gas pipeline infrastructure contractor located in Australia that is accounted for using the cost method of accounting and $8.7 million of impairments associated with two non-integral equity investments that were negatively impacted by the decline in demand for refined petroleum products, which were partially offset by an $8.9 million legal settlement received.
Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 23.2% and 29.9%. The lower rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the recognition of an $19.7 million tax benefit that resulted from equity incentive awards vesting at a higher fair market value than their grant date fair market value, as compared to the recognition of $2.6 million associated with this tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was due to a smaller difference between the vest date fair market value and grant date fair market value of vested equity incentive awards.
Other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) results from translation of the balance sheets of our foreign operating units, which are primarily located in Canada and Australia and have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and therefore are affected by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against such currencies. The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was impacted primarily by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar as of September 30, 2021 when compared to December 31, 2020. The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against both the Canadian and Australian dollars as of September 30, 2020 when compared to December 31, 2019.
Segment Results
Reportable segment information, including revenues and operating income by type of work, is gathered from each operating unit for the purpose of evaluating segment performance. Classification of our operating unit revenues by type of work for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our operating units may perform joint projects for customers in multiple industries, deliver multiple types of services under a single customer contract or provide service offerings to various industries. For example, we perform joint trenching projects to install distribution lines for electric power and natural gas customers. Our integrated operations and common administrative support for operating units require that certain allocations be made to determine segment profitability, including allocations of shared and indirect costs (e.g., facility costs), indirect operating expenses (e.g., depreciation), and general and administrative costs. Certain corporate costs are not allocated, including payroll and benefits, employee travel expenses, facility costs, professional fees, acquisition costs, non-cash
53

stock-based compensation, amortization related to intangible assets, asset impairment related to goodwill and intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities.
Three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020
The following table sets forth segment revenues, segment operating income (loss) and operating margins for the periods indicated, as well as the dollar and percentage change from the prior period. Operating margins are calculated by dividing operating income by revenues. Management utilizes operating margins as a measure of profitability, which can be helpful for monitoring how effectively we are performing under our contracts. Management also believes operating margins are a useful metric for investors to utilize in evaluating our performance. The following table shows dollars in thousands.

Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions Segment Results
The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to continued favorable dynamics across our core utility market and increased demand for our electric power services, as well as a $55 million increase in revenues attributable to acquired businesses. Additionally, revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were positively impacted by $27 million in incremental emergency restoration services revenues and $15 million related to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rate.
The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to increased revenues. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to normal project variability and higher general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to lower than normal levels of general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Favorably impacting operating income and operating margin during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was the incremental impact of our equity interest in LUMA.
In addition, in early 2020, we decided to pursue an exit of our operations in Latin America and substantially completed such exit as of December 31, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions operating income included $15.4 million of operating losses related to Latin American operations, which negatively impacted operating margin by 80 basis points.
Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Segment Results
The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased demand for gas distribution and industrial services. Revenues were also favorably impacted by a $10 million increase in revenues attributable to acquired businesses and $6 million related to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rate. The increase in revenues attributable to these items was partially offset by disruptions along the U.S. Gulf Coast attributable to Hurricane Ida and broader challenges in the energy market that negatively impacted our industrial services operations, as well as governmental restrictions and protocols associated with the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively impacted our operations in non-U.S. markets.
The decrease in operating income and operating margin was primarily due to more favorable adjustments on certain large pipeline projects during the three months ended September 30, 2020, which were associated with the recognition of previously
54

deferred milestone payments and reduced contingencies due to a reduction in the scope of work on a project that is now complete, as well as the completion of certain other projects earlier than anticipated. Additionally, as referenced above, operating income for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall challenged energy market, with the greater negative impact occurring in the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower revenues from industrial services that negatively impacted our margins and ability to cover fixed and overhead costs.
Corporate and Non-Allocated Costs
The increase in corporate and non-allocated costs during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $6.7 million increase in incentive compensation as a result of higher levels of operating performance relative to incentive compensation targets, a $3.1 million increase in intangible asset amortization, a $1.9 million increase in salaries and benefits due to increased personnel to support business growth and a $1.6 million increase in travel and related expenses, which were below historical levels in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Partially offsetting these increases were a $4.2 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs and a $3.3 million decrease in expense related to deferred compensation liabilities. The changes in fair market value of deferred compensation liabilities were offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of assets associated with the deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in other income (expense), net.
Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020

Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions Segment Results
The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to continued favorable dynamics across our core utility market and increased demand for our electric power services, as well as a $195 million increase in revenues attributable to acquired businesses. Additionally, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were positively impacted by $80 million related to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rate, and a $53 million increase in emergency restoration services revenues.
The increase in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to improved performance across the segment, including increased revenues from large transmission projects and emergency restoration services revenues, both of which contributed to improved equipment utilization and fixed cost absorption. Also favorably impacting operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the incremental impact of our equity interest in LUMA. Partially offsetting the positive impact of these items were losses resulting from poor subcontractor performance, challenging site conditions and weather and seasonal impacts on certain communications projects during the first quarter of 2021.
In addition, in early 2020, we decided to pursue an exit of our operations in Latin America and substantially completed such exit as of December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions
55

operating income included $46.9 million of operating losses related to Latin American operations, which negatively impacted operating margin by 80 basis points.
Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Segment Results
The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was partially due to reduced revenues associated with large pipeline projects, as the industry has entered the late-stage of the current construction cycle for these projects and the anticipated next cycle of projects has been delayed due to various factors, including, among other things, permitting delays and worksite access limitations related to environmental regulations. Revenues also declined due to lower demand for our services in end markets where the price of oil is influential, as well as reduced capital spending and deferred regularly scheduled maintenance by our midstream and industrial customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for gas distribution services; approximately $20 million in revenues from acquired businesses; and $19 million related to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar exchange rate.
The decreases in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to the recognition of a $23.6 million provision for credit loss related to a receivable from a customer that declared bankruptcy in July 2021 and its affiliate, which is described further in Current and Long-Term Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses within Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report, and, to a lesser extent, a $2.3 million asset impairment charge related to the planned sale of certain equipment not utilized in our core operations and that was subsequently sold in October 2021. Additionally, operating income for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall challenged energy market, which negatively impacted our margins and ability to cover fixed and overhead costs.
Corporate and Non-Allocated Costs
The increase in corporate and non-allocated costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in intangible asset amortization, a $9.2 million increase in incentive and non-cash stock compensation as a result of higher levels of operating performance relative to incentive compensation targets and a $4.5 million increase in expense related to deferred compensation liabilities. The changes in fair market value of deferred compensation liabilities were offset by corresponding changes in the fair market value of assets associated with the deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in other income (expense), net. Also contributing to the increase was a $3.4 million increase in salaries and benefits expense due to increased personnel to support business growth. These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in professional fees and a $3.4 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, financial measures not recognized under GAAP, when used in connection with net income attributable to common stock, are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate our performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain other items as described below. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stock or other financial measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the exclusion of these items from net income attributable to common stock enables it and its investors to more effectively evaluate our operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent when including the excluded items.
As to certain of the items below, (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period due to acquisition activity, changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and amounts granted; (ii) acquisition and integration costs vary from period to period depending on the level of our acquisition activity; (iii) equity in (earnings) losses of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates varies from period to period depending on the activity and financial performance of non-integral unconsolidated affiliates, including gain or loss on sales of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting; (iv) asset impairment charges can vary from period to period depending on economic and other factors; and (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities varies from period to period depending on the performance in post-acquisition periods of certain acquired businesses. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income attributable to common stock, such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income

attributable to common stock, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below. The following table shows dollars in thousands.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Backlog
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service. Our remaining performance obligations represent management’s estimate of consolidated revenues that are expected to be realized from the remaining portion of firm orders under fixed price contracts not yet completed or for which work has not yet begun, which includes estimated revenues attributable to consolidated joint ventures and variable interest entities (VIEs), revenues from funded and unfunded portions of government contracts to the extent they are reasonably expected to be realized, and revenues from change orders and claims to the extent management believes they will be earned and are probable of collection.
We have also historically disclosed our backlog, a measure commonly used in our industry but not recognized under GAAP. We believe this measure enables management to more effectively forecast our future capital needs and results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. We believe this measure is also useful for investors in forecasting our future results and comparing us to our competitors. Our remaining performance obligations are a component of backlog, which also includes estimated orders under MSAs, including estimated renewals, and non-fixed price contracts expected to be completed within one year. Our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, MSAs accounted for 62% and 63% of our estimated 12-month backlog and 69% and 70% of total backlog. We anticipate that subsequent to our acquisition of Blattner, MSAs may account for a lower percentage of our backlog because Blattner does not currently have a significant amount of backlog attributable to MSAs. Generally, our customers are not contractually committed to specific volumes of services under our MSAs, and most of our contracts can be terminated on short notice even if we are not in default. We determine the estimated backlog for these MSAs using recurring historical trends, factoring in seasonal demand and projected customer needs based upon ongoing communications. In addition, many of our MSAs are subject to renewal, and these potential renewals are considered in determining estimated backlog. As a result, estimates for remaining performance obligations and backlog are subject to change based on, among other things, project accelerations; project cancellations or delays, including but not limited to those caused by commercial issues, regulatory requirements, natural disasters, emergencies (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) and adverse weather conditions; and final acceptance of change orders by customers. These factors can cause revenues to be realized in periods and at levels that are different than originally projected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements
Management monitors financial markets and national and global economic conditions for factors that may affect our liquidity and capital resources. We consider our investment policies related to cash and cash equivalents to be conservative in that we maintain a diverse portfolio of what we believe to be high-quality cash and cash equivalent investments with short-term maturities. While the extent of the impact of the challenged energy market, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our future operational and financial performance will depend on future developments and remains uncertain, based on our current business forecast for the next twelve months, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, future cash flows from operations, existing borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility and other available financing alternatives will provide sufficient funds during the next twelve months to enable us to fund ongoing operating needs, facilitate our ability to repurchase stock and pay any future dividends we declare, fund acquisitions or strategic investments that facilitate the long-term growth and sustainability of our business, fund essential capital expenditures and make` payments related to obligations on our outstanding debt.
Our industry is capital intensive, and we expect substantial capital expenditures and commitments under equipment lease and rental arrangements to be needed into the foreseeable future in order to meet anticipated demand for our services. We expect capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2021 to be approximately $325 million. Additionally, refer to Contractual Obligations and Contingencies below for a summary of our future contractual obligations and a description of other contingencies as of September 30, 2021 and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements below for a description of certain contingent obligations that are not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although any of these contingent obligations could require the use of cash in future periods, certain contingent obligations are excluded from the Contractual Obligations table because we are unable to accurately predict the timing and amount of such obligations as of September 30, 2021.
58

Our available commitments under our senior credit facility and cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2021
Total capacity available for revolving loans and letters of credit |  | $ | 2,510,000 |
Less: |  |
Borrowings of revolving loans |  | 415,851 |
Letters of credit outstanding |  | 333,900 |
Available commitments for issuing revolving loans or new letters of credit |  | 1,760,249 |
Plus: |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | 1,696,210 |
Total available commitments under senior credit facility and cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 3,456,459 |

We may seek to access the capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity as necessary, refinance or extend the term of our existing indebtedness, fund acquisitions or otherwise fund our capital needs. For example, as described further in Debt Instruments below, in connection with the financing of our acquisition of Blattner, in September 2021 we issued $1.50 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and received net proceeds of $1.48 billion, and in October 2021 we amended our senior credit facility to, among other things, provide for a new $750.0 million term loan facility and increase the aggregate revolving commitments of the lenders from $2.51 billion to $2.64 billion. The proceeds received from our issuance of senior notes in September 2021 represented a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2021, and such proceeds were utilized to fund the acquisition of Blattner on October 13, 2021. While our financial strategy and consistent performance have allowed us to maintain investment grade ratings subsequent to these financing transactions, our ability to access the capital markets in the future depends on a number of factors, including our financial performance and financial position, our credit ratings, industry conditions, general economic conditions, our backlog, capital expenditure commitments, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.
Sources and Uses of Cash
In summary, our cash flows for each period were as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, |  | September 30,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 17,876 |  |  | $ | 114,859 |  |  | $ | 332,437 |  |  | $ | 839,887 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  | $ | (96,536) |  |  | $ | (230,555) |  |  | $ | (415,713) |  |  | $ | (356,302) |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities |  | $ | 1,563,590 |  |  | $ | (198,504) |  |  | $ | 1,594,826 |  |  | $ | (435,214) |

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities is primarily influenced by demand for our services and operating margins but is also influenced by working capital needs associated with the various types of services that we provide. Our working capital needs may increase when we commence large volumes of work under circumstances where project costs, primarily labor, equipment and subcontractors, are required to be paid before the associated receivables are billed and collected. Accordingly, changes within working capital in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities are normally related and are typically affected on a collective basis by changes in revenue due to the timing and volume of work performed and variability in the timing of customer billings and payments. Additionally, working capital needs are generally higher during the summer and fall due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of our operating regions. Conversely, working capital assets are typically converted to cash during the winter. These seasonal trends can be offset by changes in project timing due to delays or accelerations and other economic factors that may affect customer spending, including market conditions or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was negatively impacted primarily by increased working capital requirements, including with respect to progress on two large electric transmission projects in Canada, and the timing of the associated billings. Both of the projects were negatively impacted by delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic and unrelated wildfires, and one project was also impacted by an acceleration of the project timeline, all of which resulted in change orders and an increase in contract assets. Partially offsetting this negative impact was the favorable impact of increased earnings as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As permitted under the CARES Act and other federal and state actions, during the three and nine months ended September 30,
59

2020, we deferred the payment of $41.0 million and $72.2 million of payroll taxes, 50% of which are due by December 31, 2021 and the remainder of which are due by December 31, 2022. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2020, we paid $58.0 million of federal and state income taxes, the payment of which had been deferred during from the second quarter of 2020 as permitted under the CARES Act and other federal and state actions. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by the receipt of $82.0 million of insurance proceeds associated with the settlement of two pipeline project claims in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Days sales outstanding (DSO) represents the average number of days it takes revenues to be converted into cash, which management believes is an important metric for assessing liquidity. A decrease in DSO has a favorable impact on cash flow from operating activities, while an increase in DSO has a negative impact on cash flow from operating activities. DSO is calculated by using the sum of current accounts receivable, net of allowance (which includes retainage and unbilled balances), plus contract assets less contract liabilities, divided by average revenues per day during the quarter. DSO at September 30, 2021 was 89 days, which was higher than DSO of 82 days at September 30, 2020 and our five-year historical average DSO of 82 days primarily due to increased working capital requirements related to progress on two large electric transmission projects in Canada and the timing of the associated billings. Both of the projects were negatively impacted by delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic and unrelated wildfires, and one project was also impacted by an acceleration of the project timeline, all of which resulted in change orders and an increase in contract assets.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2021 included $74.6 million of capital expenditures, $33.3 million used for acquisitions and $5.2 million of cash paid for equity and other investments. Partially offsetting these items was $16.4 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $233.0 million of capital expenditures; $119.5 million of cash paid for equity and other investments, which primarily related to the acquisition of a minority interest in a broadband technology company; and $101.4 million used for acquisitions, some of which relates to acquisitions that closed in prior periods. These items were partially offset by $35.1 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2020 included $187.7 million used for acquisitions and $50.8 million of capital expenditures, which were partially offset by $5.8 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $212.1 million used for acquisitions, $167.0 million used for capital expenditures, and $9.5 million of cash paid for equity and other investments, which were partially offset by $18.5 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and $11.1 million of proceeds from the disposition of businesses.
Our industry is capital intensive, and we expect substantial capital expenditures and commitments under equipment lease and rental arrangements to be needed into the foreseeable future. We also have various other capital commitments that are detailed in Contractual Obligations and Contingencies below. In addition, we expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and investments, although we cannot predict the timing or amount of the cash needed for these initiatives.
Financing Activities
On September 23, 2021, we received net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 notes, the 2032 notes and the 2041 notes of $1.49 billion, net of the original issue discount and underwriting discounts but not net of deferred financing costs paid or accrued by us. Deferred financing costs paid directly by us during the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $5.1 million, $0.7 million of which related to the September 2021 issuance of such senior notes and $4.4 million of which related to the bridge facility commitment entered into, but ultimately not utilized, in connection with our acquisition of Blattner. Total deferred financing costs associated with the senior notes that were accrued as of September 30, 2021 were $3.2 million and are expected to be paid primarily in the three months ended December 31, 2021 . See Debt Instruments – Senior Notes below for a further description of the Senior Notes. Although not reflected in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we used these proceeds, together with borrowings under a new term loan and revolving loans under our senior credit facility, to acquire Blattner in October 2021.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2021 also included $98.4 million of net borrowings under our senior credit facility and $13.6 million of net borrowings of short-term debt. These items were partially offset by $17.8 million of cash payments for common stock repurchases and $8.4 million of cash payments for dividends and cash dividend equivalents. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included $267.7 million of net borrowings under our senior credit facility and $9.4 million of net borrowings of short-term debt, partially offset by $66.7 million of cash payments for common stock repurchases, $63.1 million of cash payments to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with stock-based compensation and $25.6 million of cash payments for dividends and cash dividend equivalents.
60

On September 22, 2020, we received net proceeds from the issuance of our 2030 notes of $990.1 million, as described further in Debt Instruments – Senior Notes. These proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to voluntarily prepay then-outstanding term loans, which is reflected in the $1.17 billion of net repayments under our senior credit facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we also paid $7.8 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of such senior notes and $7.0 million of cash dividends and dividend equivalents. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $200.0 million of cash payments for common stock repurchases, $1.15 billion of net repayments under our senior credit facility, $24.4 million of cash payments to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with stock-based compensation, $21.5 million of cash payments for dividends and cash dividend equivalents, $10.4 million of payments to settle certain contingent consideration liabilities and $7.8 million of deferred financing costs.
Contingent Consideration Liabilities
Certain of our acquisitions include the potential payment of contingent consideration, payable in the event certain performance objectives are achieved by the acquired businesses during designated post-acquisition periods. Although our contingent consideration liabilities were not material as of September 30, 2021, the former owners of Blattner are eligible for the potential payment of up to $300 million of contingent consideration, payable to the extent Blattner achieves certain financial performance objectives over a three-year period beginning in January 2022. The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with Blattner as of the acquisition date has not yet been determined. Any liability would be paid in cash at the end of the three-year period and would include 5% interest, unless we elect to pay a portion at the end of each year within the performance period. Cash payments for these liabilities up to the amount recognized at the respective acquisition dates, including measurement-period adjustments, will be classified as financing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Any cash payments in excess of the amount of contingent consideration liabilities recognized at the respective acquisition dates will be classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Stock Repurchases
We repurchased the following shares of common stock in the open market under our stock repurchase programs (in thousands):

Quarter ended: |  | Shares |  | Amount

June 30, 2020 |  | — |  |  | $ | — |
March 31, 2020 |  | 5,960 |  |  | $ | 200,000 |

As of September 30, 2021, we are authorized to repurchase up to an additional $472.8 million in shares of common stock through June 30, 2023 under our existing stock repurchase program. Our policy is to record a stock repurchase as of the trade date; however, the payment of cash related to a repurchase is made on the settlement date of the trade. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, cash payments related to stock repurchases were $17.8 million and none. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, cash payments related to stock repurchases were $66.7 million and $200.0 million.
Repurchases under our repurchase programs may be implemented through open market or privately negotiated transactions, at management’s discretion, based on market and business conditions, applicable contractual and legal requirements, including restrictions under our senior credit facility, and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire any specific amount of common stock and the repurchase programs may be modified or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time at its sole discretion and without notice.

In addition, our Amended Credit Agreement restricts the payment of cash dividends unless certain conditions are met.
Debt Instruments

On September 23, 2021, we issued $1.50 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes consisting of: $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes; $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 notes; and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2041 notes. The cumulative proceeds received from the public offering of the 2024 notes, the 2032 notes and the 2041 notes were $1.48 billion, net of the original issue discount, underwriting discounts and deferred financing costs, which we used, along with borrowings under our senior credit facility, as amended, to complete the acquisition of Blattner. Additionally, on September 22, 2020, we issued $1.00 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.900% senior notes due October 2030 and received proceeds of $986.7 million from the offering, net of the original issue discount, underwriting discounts and deferred financing costs.
Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears as set forth below (dollars in thousands).

Senior Credit Facility
On October 8, 2021, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement that, among other things, (i) provided for a new $750.0 million term loan facility for the purpose of financing the acquisition of Blattner pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, (ii) increased the aggregate revolving commitments of the lenders from $2.51 billion to $2.64 billion and (iii) extended the maturity date for revolving commitments under the senior credit facility from September 22, 2025 to October 8, 2026, which is also the maturity date for the new term loan facility. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate amount of the credit facilities provided for under the amended credit agreement is $3.39 billion. On October 13, 2021, we borrowed the full amount of the $750.0 million term loan facility and used such amount, together with the net proceeds from the September 2021 offering of the 2024 notes, the 2032 notes and the 2041 notes and approximately $50.9 million of revolving loans borrowed under the senior credit facility, to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of Blattner. We are required to make quarterly
62

principal payments on the first business day of each January, April, July and October, beginning in January 2023, on outstanding borrowings under the new term loan facility in an amount equal to $4.7 million per quarter in 2023 and 2024, $9.4 million per quarter in 2025 and $18.8 million per quarter in 2026.
As of November 1, 2021, we had $1.39 billion of outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility, composed of $640.0 million of outstanding revolving loans and $750.0 million outstanding under the new term loan facility. Also as of November 1, 2021, subject to the applicable sublimits and the other terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement, the remaining $1.66 billion of available commitments under the senior credit facility was available for loans or issuing new letters of credit in U.S. dollars and certain alternative currencies. Subject to the conditions and limitations specified in the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the option to increase the capacity of the credit facility.
Borrowings of revolving loans under our senior credit facility are to be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Agreement for our senior credit facility contains certain covenants, including, as of the end of any fiscal quarter for us, (i) a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.5 to 1.0 (except that in connection with certain permitted acquisitions in excess of $200.0 million, including our acquisition of Blattner, such ratio is 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter in which the acquisition is completed and the four subsequent fiscal quarters) and (ii) a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.0 to 1.0. For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, total funded debt is reduced by available cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) in excess of $25.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, and subsequent to our acquisition of Blattner, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio increased but remained significantly below such financial covenants.
To address the transition in financial markets away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), our Amended Credit Agreement includes customary LIBOR benchmark replacement provisions. The benchmark replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated loans may be a rate based on the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or an alternate benchmark, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the amended credit agreement. In certain circumstances, loans in U.S. dollars would default to the Base Rate, which under such circumstances would equal the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the amended credit agreement) plus 0.5% and (ii) the prime rate publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. Changing to an alternative interest rate or to the Base Rate may lead to additional volatility in interest rates and could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

_______________________________________
(1) Amount represents the principal amount of our long-term debt. The cash interest obligations related to the fixed-rate portion of our long-term debt are included in Long-term debt - cash interest; however, our $415.9 million of outstanding revolving loans under our senior credit facility bear interest at variable market rates. Assuming the principal amount outstanding and interest rate in effect for the revolving loans at September 30, 2021 remained the same, the annual cash interest expense for such loans would be approximately $10.2 million, payable until October 8, 2026, the maturity date of the facility. See Liquidity and Capital Resource - Debt Instruments - Senior Credit Facility above for further information related to borrowings under the credit facility subsequent to September 30, 2021 associated with financing the cash portion of consideration related to the acquisition of Blattner. Amounts borrowed subsequent to September 30, 2021 are not included in this table.
(2) Amount represents cash interest expense associated with our fixed-rate, long-term debt, which primarily includes our senior notes and financing transactions arising from the exercise of our equipment rental purchase options.
(3) Amounts represent undiscounted operating lease obligations at September 30, 2021 for our real estate and equipment leases. The operating lease obligations recorded on our September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet represent the present value of these amounts.
(4) Amounts represent undiscounted operating lease obligations that have not commenced as of September 30, 2021. The operating lease obligations will be recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning on the commencement date of each lease.
(5) Amounts represent undiscounted finance lease obligations at September 30, 2021. The finance lease obligations recorded on our September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet represent the present value of these amounts.
(6) Amounts represent short-term lease obligations that are not recorded on our September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet due to our accounting policy election. Month-to-month rental expense associated primarily with certain equipment rentals is excluded from these amounts because we are unable to accurately predict future rental amounts.
(7) Amounts represent deferral of $108.9 million related to the employer portion of payroll tax payments during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was permitted pursuant to the CARES Act. Payment of these deferred tax obligations are due by December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
(8) Amount represents capital committed for the expansion of our vehicle fleet. Although we have committed to the purchase of these vehicles at the time of their delivery, we expect that these orders will be assigned to third-party leasing companies and made available to us under certain of our master equipment lease agreements.
We have various contingencies and commitments that may require the use of cash in future periods, including those set forth below. The Contractual Obligations table excludes the contingencies described below, as we are unable to accurately predict the timing and amount of any of the following contingent obligations.
64

Uncollectible accounts receivable - We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, to our customers. While we generally have certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided, we are subject to potential credit risk related to business, economic and financial market conditions that affect these customers and locations, which has been heightened as a result of the unfavorable and uncertain economic and financial market conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the currently challenged energy market. Some of our customers have experienced significant financial difficulties (including bankruptcy), and customers may experience financial difficulties in the future. These difficulties expose us to increased risk related to collectability of billed and unbilled receivables and contract assets for services we have performed. For example, certain customers within our Underground Utility and Infrastructure segment have experienced operational and/or financial difficulties. For additional information on these matters, see Concentration of Credit Risk in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Lawsuits and other legal proceedings - We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, which typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, property damage, breach of contract, negligence or gross negligence, environmental liabilities, wage and hour and other employment-related damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding litigation, claims and other legal proceedings.
Collective bargaining agreements and multiemployer pension plan liabilities - Certain of our operating units are parties to collective bargaining agreements with unions that represent certain of their employees, and from time to time, we are a party to grievance and arbitration actions based on claims arising out of the collective bargaining agreements, which specify that we pay certain wages, provide certain benefits to union employees and contribute certain amounts to multiemployer pension plans and employee benefit trusts. The location and number of union employees that we employ at any given time and the plans in which they may participate vary depending on our need for union resources in connection with our ongoing projects, and therefore we are unable to accurately predict our union employee payroll and the resulting contribution obligations for future periods. Furthermore, we may be required to make additional contributions to our multiemployer pension plans if they become underfunded or if we withdraw or are deemed to have withdrawn from a plan or a plan is terminated or experiences a mass withdrawal. For additional information on these obligations and potential contingencies, see Collective Bargaining Agreements and Multiemployer Pension Plans in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Bonds and parent guarantees - Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require us to post performance and payment bonds, which provide a guarantee that we will perform under the terms of a contract and pay subcontractors and vendors. In certain circumstances, the customer may demand that our surety make payments or provide services under the bond, and we must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. As of September 30, 2021 the total amount of our outstanding performance bonds was estimated to be approximately $3.8 billion. Additionally, from time to time, we guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of our subsidiaries that may arise in connection with, among other things, contracts with customers, equipment lease obligations, joint venture arrangements and contractor licenses, and may cover all of the subsidiary’s unperformed, undischarged and unreleased obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the relevant agreement. For additional information on these obligations and potential contingencies, see Bonds and Parent Guarantees in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Insurance liabilities - Due to the nature of our operations, at any given time we have a significant amount of accrued insurance claims. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the gross amount accrued for employer’s liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, and group health claims totaled $316.8 million and $319.5 million. Additionally, we renew our insurance policies on an annual basis, and therefore deductibles and levels of insurance coverage may change in future periods. In addition, insurers may cancel our coverage or determine to exclude certain items from coverage, or we may elect not to obtain certain types or incremental levels of insurance based on the potential benefits considered relative to the cost of such insurance, or coverage may not be available at reasonable and competitive rates. See Insurance in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Indemnities and assumed liabilities - In connection with our acquisition transactions, we assume certain liabilities and obtain rights to indemnification from the sellers or former owners of acquired businesses for certain risks, liabilities and
65

obligations arising from their prior operations, such as performance, operational, safety, workforce or tax issues. However, we may not have discovered certain liabilities during due diligence and our indemnities may not cover all of our exposure for such pre-acquisition matters or the indemnitors may be unwilling or unable to pay amounts owed to us. Accordingly, we may incur expenses that are not reimbursed, and such amounts could be material. See Indemnities in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion related to these potential contingencies.
Liabilities related to our deferred compensation plans - We maintain non-qualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to which non-employee directors and certain key employees may defer receipt of some or all of their compensation. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, obligations under these plans, including amounts contributed by us, were $69.1 million and $58.2 million. These plans are unfunded and unsecured compensation arrangements, and the amount of the obligations can fluctuate based on the market value of participants’ investment elections under the plan. See Deferred Compensation Plans in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion related to these plans.
Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries - We generally do not provide for taxes related to undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and we could be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes if we were to repatriate cash that is indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. However, we do not expect such amount to be material.
Unrecognized tax benefits and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets - As of September 30, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions was $40.6 million. Our consolidated federal income tax return for the tax year 2019 is currently under examination by the IRS, and our consolidated federal income tax returns for tax years 2017, 2018, and 2020 remain open to examination by the IRS, as these statute of limitations periods have not yet expired, and various state and foreign tax returns filed by us and our subsidiaries for multiple periods remain under examination by various U.S. state, Canadian and other foreign tax authorities. We believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $13.3 million as a result of settlement of these examinations or as a result of the expiration of certain statute of limitations periods. Additionally, we regularly evaluate valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain, including in connection with changes in tax laws, and we may not realize deferred tax assets to the extent estimated. See Income Taxes in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion related to these potential contingencies.
Commitment fees under our senior credit facility - Fees associated with letters of credit under our senior credit facility and commitment fees under our senior credit facility are variable because they depend on the amount of outstanding letters of credit, availability and applicable fees. Assuming that the amount of letters of credit outstanding and the fees as of September 30, 2021 remained the same, the annual cash expense for our letters of credit would be approximately $4.0 million. See Notes 6 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion related to these obligations and potential contingencies.
Residual Value Guarantees - We have guaranteed the residual value under certain of our equipment operating leases, agreeing to pay any difference between this residual value and the fair market value of the underlying asset at the date of lease termination. Due to the nature of our operations, at any given time we have a significant amount of outstanding residual value guarantees, and as of September 30, 2021 the maximum guaranteed residual value of this equipment was $886.9 million. While we believe that no significant payments will be made as a result of these residual value guarantees, there can be no assurance that significant payments will not be required in the future.
Investment commitment - As of September 30, 2021, we had committed to contribute $13.6 million for certain investments, but the timing of the contributions has not yet been determined.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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 certain obligations relating to our investments and joint venture arrangements; short-term, non-cancelable leases and leases that have not yet commenced; letters of credit obligations; surety guarantees related to bonds; committed expenditures for the purchase of equipment; and certain multiemployer pension plan liabilities. See Contractual Obligations and Contingencies above and Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report for a description of these arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies Update
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The preparation of these condensed 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 as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are published and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. We review all significant estimates affecting our condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to their publication. Judgments and estimates are based on our 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. 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. Our accounting policies are primarily described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of Part II of our 2020 Annual Report and, to a lesser extent, in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with our critical accounting estimates detailed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Part II of our 2020 Annual Report.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on financial market risk related to changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of Part II of our 2020 Annual Report. Our primary exposure to market risk relates to unfavorable changes in concentration of credit risk, interest rates and currency exchange rates.
Credit Risk. We are subject to concentrations of credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalents and net receivable position with customers, which includes amounts related to billed and unbilled accounts receivable and contract assets net of advanced billings with the same customer. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are managed by what we believe to be high credit quality financial institutions. In accordance with our investment policies, these institutions are authorized to invest cash and cash equivalents in a diversified portfolio of what we believe to be high-quality investments, which primarily include interest-bearing demand deposits, money market investments and money market mutual funds. Although we do not currently believe the principal amounts of these cash and cash equivalents are subject to any material risk of loss, changes in economic conditions could impact the interest income we receive from these investments.
In addition, we grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, and therefore are subject to potential credit risk related to our customers’ inability to pay for services provided. Furthermore, the risk of nonpayment may be heightened as a result of depressed economic and financial market conditions, including in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the currently challenged energy market. We believe the concentration of credit risk related to billed and unbilled receivables and contract assets is limited because of the diversity of our customers, and we perform ongoing credit risk assessments of our customers and financial institutions and in some cases obtain collateral or other security from our customers. For example, certain customers within our Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment have encountered operational and/or financial difficulties. For additional information regarding these matters, see Revenue Recognition - Current and Long-Term Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses in Note 2 and Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2021, we had no derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. As such, we were exposed to earnings and fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our variable rate debt, which is comprised of borrowings under the credit agreement for our senior credit facility. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of our variable rate debt of $415.9 million approximated book value, and our weighted average interest rate on our variable rate debt for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 2.13%. The annual effect on our pretax earnings of a hypothetical 50 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates would be approximately $2.1 million based on our September 30, 2021 balance of variable rate debt.
Additionally, the transition in financial markets away from the LIBOR beginning in 2021 may lead to additional volatility in interest rates and could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly as further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt Instruments in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Anal y sis of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
67

Foreign Currency Risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the majority of our operations, which are primarily located within the United States. The functional currency for our foreign operations, which are primarily located in Canada and Australia, is typically the currency of the country in which the foreign operating unit is located. Accordingly, our financial performance is subject to fluctuation due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenues from our foreign operations accounted for 13.7% and 15.3% of our consolidated revenues. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 caused a net increase of approximately $21 million and $99 million related to foreign revenues when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
We are also subject to foreign currency risk with respect to sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of our operating units. To minimize the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge our foreign currency risk on a cash flow basis. We had no outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts at September 30, 2021.
We also have foreign exchange risk related to cash and cash equivalents in foreign banks. Based on the balance of cash and cash equivalents in foreign banks of $31.2 million as of September 30, 2021, an assumed 5% adverse change to foreign exchange rates would result in a fair value decline of $1.2 million.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications of Quanta’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This item includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has established and maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as such disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Design and Operation of Control Systems
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures 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 system’s 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
68

compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
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, property damage, breach of contract, negligence or gross negligence, environmental liabilities, wage and hour claims and other employment-related damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record a reserve when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference in this Item 1, for additional information regarding litigation, claims and other legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2020 Annual Report. As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously described in our 2020 Annual Report, except as set forth below with respect to our acquisition of Blattner and except that the potential effects of the acquisition of Blattner, and the financing thereof, may also have the effect of heightening certain other risks described in our 2020 Annual Report. The matters specifically identified are not the only risks and uncertainties facing our company, and additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or not specifically identified may also impair our business. If any of these risks and uncertainties occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted, which could negatively impact the value of an investment in our company.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from our acquisition of Blattner.
The success of our acquisition of Blattner will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from successfully integrating Blattner’s business. We plan on devoting substantial management attention and resources to integrating our and Blattner’s business practices and operations so that we can fully realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Nonetheless, the business and assets acquired may not be successful, achieve the anticipated financial results or continue to grow at the same rate as when operated independently or may require greater resources and investments than originally anticipated. The acquisition of Blattner could also result in the assumption of unknown or contingent liabilities. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:
•the inability to successfully integrate Blattner’s business in a manner that permits us to achieve the strategic operational benefits, additional opportunities with customers, reputational benefits or cost savings anticipated to result from the acquisition, which would result in some anticipated benefits of the acquisition not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated, or at all;
•the failure to integrate operations and internal systems, programs and controls;
•the inability to successfully realize the anticipated value from some of Blattner’s assets;
•lost revenues and lost or damaged commercial relationships;
•the complexities and difficulties associated with our decentralized management structure;
•the additional complexities of integrating a business with a different customer base, markets, history, culture and strategy;
•the failure to retain key employees of either of the two companies that may be difficult to replace;
•the disruption of our ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in our services, standards, controls, procedures and policies;
•potential unknown, unforeseen or greater than expected liabilities and expenses associated with the acquired business;
•changes in estimates related to revenues and costs associated with Blattner's ongoing contracts with customers; and
•performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by integrating Blattner’s operations.

In addition, laws and regulations related to renewable energy could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects of Blattner, including, among other things, changes to legislation and regulation that mandate percentages of power to be generated from renewable sources, require utilities to meet reliability standards, and encourage installation of new electric power transmission and renewable energy generation facilities. Furthermore, supply chain and other logistical difficulties, as well as sourcing restrictions on materials necessary for certain renewable energy projects, could negatively impact renewable energy customers and delay or jeopardize the viability of certain renewable energy projects in the future. For example, delays in the transportation of materials for renewable projects (e.g., solar panels) from ports to project sites, as well as sourcing restrictions on certain solar project materials produced in China, could increase the pricing of such materials, and negatively impact Blattner’s customers and certain solar infrastructure projects in the near term. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisition of Blattner within the expected timeframe or at all or such benefits may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial expenses related to our acquisition of Blattner.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with the acquisition of Blattner and integrating the business, operations, practices, policies and procedures of Blattner. While we assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our and Blattner’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of their integration expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. The overall expenses in connection with the acquisition are expected to be significant, although the aggregate amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On July 30, 2021, we completed an acquisition in which a portion of the consideration consisted of the unregistered issuance of shares of our common stock. The aggregate consideration paid at closing in the acquisition included 32,822 shares of our common stock, which had a fair value of $2.5 million as of the acquisition date. Additionally, subsequent to September 30, 2021, we completed two acquisitions, on October 1, 2021 and October 13, 2021, in which a portion of the consideration for each acquisition consisted of the unregistered issuance of shares of our common stock. The aggregate consideration paid at closing in these acquisitions included 3,369,703 shares of our common stock.
For additional information about these acquisitions, see Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements of Part I of this Quarterly Report. The issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with these acquisitions were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under that section. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement.
