2021 Outlook Expectations Summary as of November 4, 2021

The following forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. Such statements are current only as of November 4, 2021.

From 3Q21 Earnings Release & Conference Call

The long-term outlook for Quanta's business is positive. However, weather, regulatory, permitting, project timing, execution challenges and other factors have impacted the company's historical results, and may impact Quanta's future financial results. During 2020 and 2021, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on various aspects of the economy have significantly impacted certain of Quanta's operations and various markets where Quanta operates, which has created uncertainty. Therefore, Quanta's financial outlook for revenues, margins and earnings reflects management's effort to align these uncertainties with the backlog the company is executing on and the opportunities expected to materialize during the remainder of 2021.

Segment and Other Commentary

Legacy Quanta Services, Inc. (Excluding Recently Acquired Companies): Excluding the expected contributions from the recently acquired companies (discussed below), we now expect full year revenues from our legacy operations to range between $12.15 and $12.35 billion. Due to the strength of our consolidated performance for the first nine months of the year, we are increasing our expectations for the contribution of our legacy operations to Adjusted EBITDA to range between $1.17 and $1.20 billion. As it relates to our current reportable segments, while we continue to evaluate how these may change with the addition of Blattner, the following describes how current expectations compare to our previous commentary:

Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions Segment: Excluding contributions from businesses acquired during the third quarter of 2021 and in the fourth quarter of 2021 through the date of our earnings release, we continue to expect full year revenues to range between $8.7 and $8.8 billion for our legacy electric segment operations, however, based on the strong performance through the first nine months of the year and continued confidence in our ability to execute on the opportunities across the segment, we've increased our full year margin range for the segment, with 2021 operating margins expected to come in slightly above 11 percent, which includes an expected contribution to operating income of approximately $32 million, or $0.22 per share, from LUMA Energy, LLC (LUMA), Quanta's joint venture with ATCO that has been selected to operate, maintain and modernize the electric transmission and distribution system in Puerto Rico, and other integral unconsolidated affiliates.

Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions Segment: Full-year 2021 expectations for the Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions segment have slightly moderated primarily due to lower revenues than previously expected in the third quarter of 2021. Accordingly, revenues for the full year of 2021 are now expected to be between $3.45 and $3.55 billion. Segment margins are now expected to be between 4.5% and 5%, which includes the negative impact of nearly 70 basis points from a $23.6 million credit loss provision recognized in the second quarter of 2021, which was related to receivables from a customer that declared bankruptcy in July 2021 and an affiliate of such customer.

Financial Contributions from Recently Acquired Companies: During the third quarter of 2021 and in the fourth quarter of 2021 through the date of our earnings release, in addition to Quanta's acquisition of Blattner on October 13, 2021, we acquired three businesses and made a minority investment in another business for total combined consideration of approximately $110 million. Our full-yearpost-closing expectations for these recent transactions, including Blattner, are revenues between $400 and $500 million and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, between $40 and $60 million.

Corporate and Unallocated: Corporate and unallocated costs will increase significantly, primarily due to the recently acquired companies. We currently estimate amortization expense for the full year will be between $149 and $159 million, with $60 to $70 million attributable to the recently acquired companies. Stock compensation expense for the full year is now expected to be approximately $89 million, with approximately $2 million attributable to Restricted Stock Units issued to employees of the recently acquired companies. Acquisition and integration costs are expected to be approximately $26 million for the fourth quarter, resulting in approximately $36 million for the year. This includes approximately $10.5 million of expenses associated with change of control payments awarded to certain employees of Blattner by the selling shareholders which require expense accounting as they have a one-year service period requirement. We expect a comparable dollar amount will be accrued each quarter post-closing until the one-year anniversary of the transaction, at which time the payments will be made to the employees. We intend to include this amount as an adjustment to arrive at our Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP measures.
