QUANTA SERVICES, INC. (PWR)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

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 2025 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026 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 in Part I of our 2025 Annual Report.

Overview

Our second quarter 2026 results reflect increased demand for our services, as consolidated revenues and operating income increased as compared to the second quarter of 2025, with increased revenues and operating income in both our Electric Infrastructure Solutions (Electric) and Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions (Underground and Infrastructure) segments.

With respect to our Electric segment, utilities are continuing to invest significant capital in their electric power delivery systems through multi-year grid modernization and reliability programs, as well as system upgrades and hardening programs in response to recurring severe weather events. We have also experienced high demand for new and expanded transmission, substation and distribution infrastructure needed to reliably transport power. In particular, we continue to experience strong demand from our utility customers, which we believe is driven by increasing demand for electricity associated with, among other things, data centers and other technology-related dynamics, domestic manufacturing reshoring initiatives and overall electrification trends. Recent acquisitions also resulted in increased demand for our critical path electrical design and installation solutions from the technology and data center industry, as well as our utility scale solar and battery storage solutions. The cost-effectiveness of solar, wind energy and battery storage, combined with a meaningful increase in current and forecasted electricity demand is continuing to drive demand for renewable generation and related infrastructure (e.g., high-voltage electric transmission and substation infrastructure and battery storage), as well as interconnection services necessary to connect and transmit renewable-generated electricity to existing electric power delivery systems. Despite these positive longer-term trends, in the past, supply chain challenges, policy and regulatory uncertainty and other factors have resulted in project delays and increased project costs and could negatively impact future periods.

With respect to our Underground and Infrastructure segment, we continue to believe the market for our industrial solutions and gas utility and pipeline integrity services remains solid given the recurring critical-path maintenance requirements and regulated spend dedicated to modernizing systems, reducing methane emissions, ensuring environmental compliance and improving safety and reliability. However, revenues associated with large pipeline projects have fluctuated in recent years, and we anticipate that revenues associated with these projects will continue to fluctuate. Our acquisition of Dynamic Systems (DSI), LLC (Dynamic Systems) during 2025 expanded our capabilities and solutions related to turnkey mechanical, plumbing and process infrastructure solutions. Additionally, acquisitions in 2025 enhanced our ability to provide heavy civil and site preparation construction services for the industrial, energy and technology and load center markets. We see strong demand for these services by data center, manufacturing, semiconductor and other large load facilities and believe there are also opportunities to provide these services to other core end markets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased revenues and operating income contributed to $1.49 billion of net cash provided by operating activities, which was a 176% increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This cash provided by operating activities, along with borrowings under our credit facility and commercial paper program, allowed us to execute our business plan, including the strategic acquisitions of certain businesses and investments in unconsolidated affiliates, for which we utilized $956.9 million of cash, and payments of $33.7 million in dividends associated with our common stock. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, available commitments under our senior credit facility, combined with our cash and cash equivalents, totaled $2.77 billion.

We expect the strong demand for our services will continue. Our remaining performance obligations and backlog were $33.55 billion and $53.44 billion as of June 30, 2026, representing increases of 41.2% and 21.5% relative to December 31, 2025.

Significant Factors Impacting Results

Our revenues, profit, margins and other results of operations can be influenced by a variety of factors in any given period, including those described in Item 1. Business and Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I in our 2025 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 and fourth 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. During the fourth quarter projects are often 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 for certain projects 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.

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 and earthquakes. Climate change has the potential to increase the frequency and extremity of severe weather events. 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 due to failure of electrical power or other infrastructure on which we have performed services. However, severe weather events can also 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. Some of our services are provided under contracts, including 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. Examples of 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 and cost of capital; acceleration of any projects or programs by customers (e.g., modernization or hardening programs); economic and political conditions on a regional, national or global scale, including availability of renewable energy tax credits; interest rates; governmental regulations affecting the sourcing and costs of materials and equipment; other changes in U.S. and global trade relationships (e.g., tariffs, taxes); 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 projects typically include, among others, transmission projects with higher voltage capacities; pipeline projects with larger-diameter throughput capacities; large-scale power generation projects; complex data center projects; 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. 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 charact

ITEM 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

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 consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in Part II of this Annual Report. 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 and in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of this Annual Report.

The discussion summarizing the significant factors which affected the results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2024, including the changes in results of operations between the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, can be found in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer reevaluated how performance of the business is assessed and how resources are allocated, which resulted in a change in the reporting of management’s internal financial information. As a result, beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2025, we began reporting the results of our two operating segments, which are also our two reportable segments: (1) Electric Infrastructure Solutions (Electric) and (2) Underground Utility and Infrastructure Solutions (Underground and Infrastructure). The Electric segment consists of the historical Electric Power Infrastructure Solutions and the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions segments. In conjunction with this change, certain prior period amounts have been recast to conform to this new segment reporting structure.

Overview

Our 2025 results reflect increased demand for our services, as consolidated revenues and operating income increased as compared to 2024, with increased revenues and operating income in both our Electric and Underground and Infrastructure segments.

With respect to our Electric segment, utilities are continuing to invest significant capital in their electric power delivery systems through multi-year grid modernization and reliability programs, as well as system upgrades and hardening programs in response to recurring severe weather events. We have also experienced high demand for new and expanded transmission, substation and distribution infrastructure needed to reliably transport power. In particular, we continue to experience strong demand from our utility customers, which we believe is driven by increasing demand for electricity associated with, among other things, data centers and other technology-related dynamics, domestic manufacturing reshoring initiatives and overall electrification trends. Our acquisition of Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI) during 2024 also resulted in increased demand for our critical path electrical design and installation solutions from the technology and data center industry, as well as our utility scale solar and battery storage solutions. The cost-effectiveness of solar, wind energy and battery storage, combined with a meaningful increase in current and forecasted electricity demand is continuing to drive demand for renewable generation and related infrastructure (e.g., high-voltage electric transmission and substation infrastructure and battery storage), as well as interconnection services necessary to connect and transmit renewable-generated electricity to existing electric power delivery systems. Despite these positive longer-term trends, in the past, supply chain challenges, policy and regulatory uncertainty and other factors have resulted in project delays and increased project costs and could negatively impact future periods.

With respect to our Underground and Infrastructure segment, we continue to believe the market for our industrial solutions and gas utility and pipeline integrity services remains solid given the recurring critical-path maintenance requirements and regulated spend dedicated to modernizing systems, reducing methane emissions, ensuring environmental compliance and improving safety and reliability. However, revenues associated with large pipeline projects have fluctuated in recent years, and we anticipate that revenues associated with these projects will continue to fluctuate. Our acquisition of Dynamic Systems (DSI), LLC (Dynamic Systems) during 2025 expanded our capabilities and solutions related to turnkey mechanical, plumbing and process infrastructure solutions. We see strong demand for these services by data center, manufacturing, semiconductor and other large load facilities and believe there are also opportunities to provide these services to other core end markets.

During 2025, increased revenues and operating income contributed to $2.23 billion of net cash provided by operating activities, which was an 7.1% increase compared to 2024. This cash provided by operating activities, along with borrowings under our credit facility and commercial paper program and issuance of senior notes described below, allowed us to execute our business plan, including the strategic acquisitions of certain businesses and investments in unconsolidated affiliates, for which we utilized $3.30 billion of cash; repurchases of $134.6 million of common stock, and payments of $60.4 million in dividends

43

associated with our common stock. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, available commitments under our senior credit facility, combined with our cash and cash equivalents, totaled $2.86 billion.

In August 2025, we issued $1.50 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and received net proceeds of $1.48 billion, net of the original issue discount, underwriting discounts and deferred financing costs, and used the proceeds to repay certain outstanding borrowings. Our debt financing arrangements are more fully described in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in Part II of this Annual Report.

We expect the strong demand for our services will continue. Our remaining performance obligations and backlog were $23.76 billion and $43.98 billion as of December 31, 2025, representing increases of 41.8%, and 27.3% relative to December 31, 2024. For a reconciliation of backlog to remaining performance obligations, the most comparable financial measure prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
