Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Fiscal 2020 Accomplishments

Revenue in the third quarter was $3.2 billion, and net service revenue² was unchanged compared to the prior year on an organic basis³, reflecting 2% organic growth in the Americas segment, growth in the Asia-Pacific region and a decline in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
Operating income in the third quarter was $119 million, net income was $91 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.56; on an adjusted¹ basis, diluted earnings per share was $0.55.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA¹ increased by 18% over the prior year to $187 million, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth; year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of $542 million increased by 20% over the prior year.
The segment adjusted operating margin^{1, 4} on NSR² increased by 250 basis points over the prior year to 13.2% in the third quarter and was highlighted by 340 basis points of margin expansion in the Americas segment to 17.9%, which set a new record for the business and remains at an industry-leading level; this strong performance underscores the Company’s conviction in its ability to achieve its long-term margin target of 15%+.
Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $186 million and free cash flow⁵ was $272 million, which was consistent with expectations and reflected strong collection trends as the cash generative nature of the Company’s business remains firmly intact; free cash flow included the receipt of $122 million as a result of a previously announced favorable net working capital purchase price adjustment associated with the sale of the Management Services business.
Third quarter wins of $3.2 billion included a greater than 1 book-to-burn ratio⁷ in the Company’s design businesses and resulted in 16%⁶ backlog growth to $41.5 billion, which remains at near-record levels; contracted backlog increased by 13% and set a new record.
The Company increased its full year adjusted EBITDA guidance to between $720 million and $740 million, or 11% year-over-year growth at the mid-point; this guidance includes an approximately $20 million headwind from changes in foreign exchange rates as compared to the Company’s initial guidance for the year.

COVID-19 Associated Impacts and Market Outlook

The majority of AECOM’s work is either essential or critical, which minimized disruption to the business.
The Company successfully and rapidly transitioned to a greater than 90% remote workforce while continuing to support its clients; utilization across the business remains above pre-COVID levels.
While stay-at-home orders have eased in many of the Company’s larger markets, the majority of employees continue to work remotely at a high rate of productivity.
Client satisfaction and employee engagement remain strong, reflecting the strength of the Company’s teams, the benefits from long-running investments in IT systems and accelerated adoption of cloud-based computing solutions that have allowed for continued strong continuity across teams and delivery of work.
The Company is confident that despite economic pressures in certain U.S. and international markets, strong backlog growth and high win rates on key pursuits are resulting in market share gains that position the Company to outperform.
During the third quarter, the Company benefited from government subsidies of approximately $12 million, which were received under various programs related to retaining employees.
The Company expects several inherent attributes of its business to enable continued outperformance, including a near-record backlog and record contracted backlog, a business profile that is biased towards critical public sector projects, a highly variable cost structure, access to substantial liquidity and clients with a strong financial profile.

Increasing Fiscal 2020 Financial Guidance

AECOM is raising its full year adjusted EBITDA¹ guidance to $720 - $740 million, which would reflect 11% growth over the prior year at the mid-point of the range and a second consecutive year of double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth for the Professional Services business.
– This guidance includes an expected negative $20 million full year impact due to changes in foreign exchange rates as compared to initial guidance.
– The Company continues to expect approximately $10 million of AECOM Capital earnings in the full year; year-to-date, the Company has realized approximately $2 million.
The Company also reiterated its full year free cash flow⁵ guidance of between $100 million and $300 million.
– This guidance reflects its expectation for strong cash flow in the fourth quarter, consistent with the Company’s historical second half-weighted phasing of its cash generation.
– Included in the Company’s free cash flow guidance is the receipt of $122 million in the fiscal third quarter in connection with a previously announced favorable net working capital purchase price adjustment associated with the sale of the Management Services business.

“I am extremely proud of the organization’s efforts amidst unprecedented challenges and as we further our transformation to an industry-leading Professional Services business,” said Michael S. Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We have accomplished much over the past several years, and the company is better positioned than ever to deliver on its vision to build a better world.”

“Our third quarter performance is a testament to our industry-leading teams and the dedication of our professionals who have delivered through unprecedented challenges,” said W. Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief financial officer. “Our commitment to creating value is underscored by 250 basis points of margin expansion in the quarter, a seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth and our stronger balance sheet. As a result, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance range and now expect to deliver 11% year-over-year growth at the mid-point. Our demonstrated resiliency this year instills a great deal of confidence in our ability to continue delivering for our clients, generating strong returns for our shareholders and positions us to deliver increased profitability in fiscal 2021.”

“In the face of great challenges, our people have achieved tremendous accomplishments thus far in fiscal 2020, including our quick mobilization to support COVID-related disaster resilience activities and agility to provide support and business continuity for our clients,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s chief executive of its EMEA business. “As a Professional Services business, our people will continue to be our greatest competitive advantage, and I am confident that in partnership with Troy and our great leadership team we will continue to build momentum and gain share in the marketplace.”

Wins and Backlog

Third quarter wins of $3.2 billion resulted in a book-to-burn ratio⁷ of 0.9 and included a greater than 1 book-to-burn ratio in the Company’s design businesses both in the Americas and internationally. Importantly, year-to-date wins of $15.1 billion reflected a 1.5 book-to-burn ratio and included a greater than 1 book-to-burn ratio in each of the Company’s design businesses and its Construction Management business. Total backlog remains at near-record levels and increased by 16%⁶ over the prior year to $41.5 billion. In addition, contracted backlog increased by 13% over the prior year and set a new record, providing for strong levels of visibility.

Business Segments

AECOM is a Professional Services firm that delivers planning, design, engineering, consulting and construction management services to public- and private-sector clients worldwide in markets spanning transportation, buildings, water, governments, energy and the environment.

AECOM reports based on three segments: Americas, which consists of the Company’s business in the United States, Canada and Latin America; International, which consists of the Company’s business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions; and AECOM Capital.

In addition, the MS business, which was sold on January 31, 2020, and the at-risk, self-perform construction businesses that the Company intends to exit are reported as discontinued operations.

Americas

Revenue in the third quarter was $2.5 billion, a 4% decrease from the prior year.

Net service revenue² was $923 million in the third quarter, a 2% increase from the prior year on a constant-currency organic basis³, which was highlighted by double-digit growth in the Construction Management business.

Operating income was $161 million compared to $128 million in the year-ago period. On an adjusted basis¹, operating income was $165 million compared to $132 million in the year-ago period. The adjusted operating margin on an NSR² basis of 17.9% was a 340 basis point increase over the prior year and set a new record for the business, which reflects the benefits of the many strategic actions taken to enhance margins as well as solid execution against a near-record level of backlog.

International

Revenue in the third quarter was $718 million, a decrease of 10% from the prior year.

Net service revenue² was $590 million in the third quarter, a 3% decrease from the prior year on a constant-currency organic³ basis, reflecting a return to growth in the Asia-Pacific region, offset by a decline in the EMEA region as the business experienced headwinds associated with COVID-19.

Operating income was $32 million compared to $33 million in the year-ago period. On an adjusted basis¹, operating income was $34 million compared to $33 million in the year-ago period. The adjusted operating margin on an NSR² basis increased by 50 basis points over the prior year to 5.7%. The benefits of real estate restructuring, a streamlined G&A structure and ongoing exit from more than 30 countries enabled the Company to deliver margin improvement despite a decline in revenue. Further improvement in the Company’s International margins remains a key priority for value creation.

AECOM Capital

The AECOM Capital segment invests in and develops real estate projects. Revenue in the third quarter was $0.2 million and operating loss was $0.6 million.

Discontinued Operations

Following the close of the third quarter, AECOM achieved the substantial completion of its Alliant gas power plant project. The Company remains committed to its goal of achieving zero self-perform, at-risk construction exposure.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow for the third quarter was $186 million and free cash flow⁵ was $272 million. This cash performance was consistent with expectations and the Company’s seasonal phasing of its cash flow, which is typically weighted to the second half of the fiscal year. The Company’s free cash flow included the receipt of $122 million in connection with a previously announced favorable net working capital purchase price adjustment collected in May 2020 in connection with the sale of the Management Services business, which will be included in the investing section of the cash flow statement in accordance with GAAP.

With continued expectations for strong cash collection trends in the fourth quarter, the Company reiterated its guidance for full year free cash flow of between $100 million and $300 million.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2020, inclusive of discontinued operations, AECOM had $1.4 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, $2.1 billion of total debt, $654 million of net debt and was undrawn under its $1.35 billion revolving credit facility. Gross leverage⁸ declined to 2.8x and net leverage⁸ declined to 0.8x, underscoring the Company’s stronger balance sheet and substantial liquidity position.

The Company continued to take action to improve its capital structure and reduce its annual interest expense with the issuance on July 31, 2020 of a notice of redemption with respect to all of the 5.000% Senior Notes due 2022, which were assumed in connection with the Company’s acquisition of URS Corporation in 2014. The redemption will occur on August 31, 2020 and will be funded using cash on hand and $248.5 million in proceeds from a July 30, 2020 borrowing under the Company’s lower-cost delayed draw term loan facility. Upon completion of the redemption during the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company will have added lower-cost, longer-duration and pre-payable debt that will result in annual cash interest savings of approximately $6 million.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was (8.3%) in the third quarter. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 28.0%. During the third quarter, the Company’s GAAP tax rate benefited from the release of a $25 million valuation allowance. The adjusted tax rate was derived by re-computing the annual effective tax rate on earnings from adjusted net income.⁹ 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.

Restructuring Update

AECOM continues to progress its previously announced restructuring actions that are expected to deliver continued substantial margin improvement and efficiencies that result in a more agile organization. As a result, the Company continues to expect in fiscal 2020 to incur restructuring expenses of between $160 million and $190 million, and total cash restructuring costs of between $185 million to $205 million, which reflects an anticipated increase in restructuring activities in the fourth quarter following COVID-related timing delays on certain initiatives in the third quarter.

AECOM is hosting a conference call today at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, during which management will make a brief presentation focusing on the Company's results, strategies and operating trends. Interested parties can listen to the conference call and view accompanying slides via webcast at https://investors.aecom.com. The webcast will be available for replay following the call.

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; high leverage and potential inability to service our debt and guarantees; exposure to Brexit; exposure to political and economic risks in different countries; currency exchange rate 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 benefits and costs of the Management Services transaction, including the risk that the expected benefits of the Management Services transaction or any contingent purchase price will not be realized within the expected time frame, in full or at all; the risk that costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the Management Services transaction will exceed our estimates or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations; 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, organic revenue, 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, adjusted EPS, adjusted net/operating income and adjusted tax rate 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 constant currency information, such as organic revenue, to help assess how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations to aid investors in better understanding our international operational performance. We present net service revenue to exclude subcontractor costs from revenue to provide investors with a better understanding of our operational performance.

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.

When we provide our long term projections for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, the closest corresponding GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to the length, high variability, complexity and low visibility associated with the non-GAAP expectation projected against the multi-year forecast which could significantly impact the GAAP measure.
