Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights

– This performance was underpinned by strong client budgets, a continued record high win rate and a record backlog in the Company’s design business.

– Strong wins resulted in a 1.2 book-to-burn ratio7 across the enterprise, highlighted by a 1.5 book-to-burn ratio in the Americas design business.

Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Update

– Returned more than $400 million to stockholders fiscal year-to-date through share repurchases and dividends.

– Capital returns over the past 12 months equate to approximately 6% of the Company’s current market capitalization.

– Repurchased more than 15% of shares outstanding over the past two years.

Increased Fiscal 2022 EPS Guidance and Affirmed Long-Term Fiscal 2024 Financial Targets

– Approximately 6% organic NSR2 growth underpinned by a strong contracted backlog position and a record pipeline.

– A segment adjusted1 operating margin3 of at least 14.1%, which would reflect an increase of at least 30 basis points as compared to fiscal 2021.

– An average fully diluted share count of 143 million, reflecting only shares repurchased to date, even as the Company intends to continue to repurchase stock consistent with its capital allocation policy.

– An effective tax rate of approximately 25%.

– AECOM Capital earnings in the mid-single digit millions.

“We continue to execute well on our shared purpose of delivering a better world, which has resulted in consistent outperformance, including 31% adjusted EPS growth last year and 28% adjusted EPS growth year-to-date through the third quarter,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “We are operating with a great deal of certainty, built on our deliberate approach of prioritizing high-returning organic growth opportunities, collaboration across the business to win transformation projects, a disciplined capital allocation policy and a strong balance sheet. When combined with our record design backlog, we are positioned better than ever to capitalize on record infrastructure funding. The three long-term mega-trends of a global infrastructure renaissance, ESG investments, and client investments to adapt to a post-pandemic world are fully intact, which underpins our confidence in the future.”

“Our professionals have embraced our Think and Act Globally strategy, which is directly translating to strong employee engagement, client satisfaction and financial results,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “Through our ongoing focus on collaboration, investments to develop and grow our teams, and prioritizing time and capital towards transformation pursuits, we are delivering unrivaled global expertise to our clients and our projects. Looking ahead, we are energized by the accelerating growth opportunities across our markets and by what our broad and deep set of capabilities and technical expertise enables us to deliver.”

“Our third quarter and year-to-date results, along with our increased adjusted EPS guidance, are a testament to our professionals, our strategy and our capital allocation discipline, which are allowing us to deliver through varied macroeconomic backdrops and external factors, including the rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar,” said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM’s chief financial officer. “Free cash flow was strong in the third quarter and year-to-date free cash flow was up 15% as compared to last year, which has enabled continued investments in organic growth and the return of more than $400 million to investors this year through dividends and share repurchases. I can’t emphasize enough how important the strength of our balance sheet is in today’s environment. We have taken several actions over the past few years to extend maturities and lock in historically low rates, and this certainty enables us to invest and deploy capital in a highly efficient manner.”

Business Segments

Americas

Revenue in the third quarter was $2.5 billion. Net service revenue2 was $926 million, a 4% increase from the prior year, reflecting the benefits of a record design backlog, strengthening markets and long-term funding certainty. In addition, a high win rate and investments in Advisory and Program Management have resulted in an expanded addressable market, and deeper and more valuable engagement with clients.

Operating income increased by 2% over the prior year to $168 million. On an adjusted1 basis, operating income increased by 2% to $172 million. The adjusted operating margin on NSR2 of 18.5% reflects continued strong execution that is enabling ongoing reinvestment in growth and innovation while delivering enhanced overall profitability.

International

Revenue in the third quarter was $784 million. Net service revenue2 was $638 million, an 8% increase from the prior year, including growth in the Company’s largest and most profitable markets, highlighted by the U.K., Australia and Middle East.

Operating income increased by 23% over the prior year to $56 million. On an adjusted basis1, operating income increased by 21% to $56 million. The adjusted operating margin on NSR2 increased by 150 basis points over the prior year to 8.8%, which marked the eighth consecutive quarter of sequential margin improvement and reflects continued progress towards achieving a double-digit margin in the International segment.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2022, AECOM had $1.0 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 billion of total debt and $1.2 billion of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents). Net leverage9 was 1.2x.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 27.8% in the third quarter. On an adjusted1 basis, the effective tax rate was 28.0%. The adjusted tax rate was derived by re-computing the quarterly effective tax rate on adjusted net income.10 The adjusted tax expense differs from the GAAP tax expense based on the taxability or deductibility and tax rate applied to each of the adjustments.

AECOM is hosting a conference call tomorrow at 8 a.m. Eastern Time, during which management will make a brief presentation focusing on the Company's results, strategy and operating trends.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements in this communication other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, profitability, strategic value creation, coronavirus impacts, risk profile and investment strategies, and any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and the expected financial and operational results of AECOM. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: our business is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns and client spending reductions; impacts caused by the coronavirus and the related economic instability and market volatility, including the reaction of governments to the coronavirus, including any prolonged period of travel, commercial or other similar restrictions, the delay in commencement, or temporary or permanent halting of construction, infrastructure or other projects, requirements that we remove our employees or personnel from the field for their protection, and delays or reductions in planned initiatives by our governmental or commercial clients or potential clients; losses under fixed-price contracts; limited control over operations run through our joint venture entities; liability for misconduct by our employees or consultants; failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to our business; maintaining adequate surety and financial capacity; potential high leverage and inability to service our debt and guarantees; ability to continue payment of dividends; exposure to political and economic risks in different countries, including tariffs; currency exchange rate and interest fluctuations; retaining and recruiting key technical and management personnel; legal claims; inadequate insurance coverage; environmental law compliance and adequate nuclear indemnification; unexpected adjustments and cancellations related to our backlog; partners and third parties who may fail to satisfy their legal obligations; AECOM Capital real estate development projects; managing pension cost; cybersecurity issues, IT outages and data privacy; risks associated with the expected benefits and costs of the sale of our Management Services and self-perform at-risk civil infrastructure, power construction and oil and gas construction businesses, including the risk that any contingent purchase price adjustments from those transactions could be unfavorable and result in lower aggregate cash proceeds and any future proceeds owed to us under those transactions could be lower than we expect; as well as other additional risks and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements set forth in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net/operating income, adjusted tax rate, net service revenue and free cash flow provide a meaningful perspective on its business results as the Company utilizes this information to evaluate and manage the business. We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to exclude the impact of non-operating items, such as amortization expense, taxes and non-core operating losses to aid investors in better understanding our core performance results. We use free cash flow to represent the cash generated after capital expenditures to maintain our business. We present net service revenue to exclude subcontractor costs from revenue to provide investors with a better understanding of our operational performance. We present adjusted operating margin to reflect segment operating performance of our Americas and International segments, excluding AECOM Capital.

Our non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is found in the Regulation G Information tables at the back of this release. The Company is unable to reconcile its non-GAAP financial guidance and long-term financial targets due to uncertainties in these non-operating items as well as other adjustments to net income.
