LOS ANGELES (February 12, 2008) AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of professional technical and management support services for government and commercial clients around the world, announced today its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended Dec. 31, 2007.
AECOM reported net income of $29.5 million for the first quarter, or diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.29. Excluding a gain on the sale of an equity investment associated with a non-core asset in the year-ago period, this represents an increase of 63% over net income of $18.1 million for the same period last year. Including the gain in the year-ago period, net income increased 16%, from $25.5 million to $29.5 million. Operating income for the first quarter increased 48% year over year to $44.5 million.

First-quarter revenue increased to $1.08 billion, 15% higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. AECOMs gross revenue includes a significant amount of pass-through costs and, therefore, revenue, net of other direct costs, which is a non-GAAP measure, also provides a valuable perspective on its business results. AECOMs revenue, net of other direct costs for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2007, increased 34% to $675.6 million.
Our first-quarter results were marked by strong growth within the United States as well as outside of the U.S. and in each of our end markets, said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief executive officer. During the quarter, we saw our non-U.S. revenue continue to increase to 52% of our total revenue.
The global infrastructure market continues to fuel a solid demand for our services, said Dionisio. Our recent large-scale project wins for the Libyan Housing and Infrastructure Board, the Department of Defense, and the New Jersey Department of Transportation highlight the breadth and diversification of our success. We further supported this organic growth with recent strategic acquisitions that enhanced our presence in the environmental and energy end markets.
Business Segments
In addition to providing consolidated financial results, AECOM reports separate financial information for its two segments: Professional Technical Services (PTS) and Management Support Services (MSS).
Professional Technical Services
The PTS segment delivers planning, consulting, architecture and engineering design, and program and construction management services to institutional, commercial and government clients worldwide.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the PTS segment reported revenue of $893.4 million and operating income of $51.2 million, compared to revenue of $753.9 million and operating income of $35.8 million for the same period during fiscal year 2007. This represents a 19% increase in revenue and a 43% increase in operating income year over year. PTS revenue, net of other direct costs increased 34% for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2007, to $648.5 million.
Management Support Services
The MSS segment provides program and facilities management and maintenance, training, logistics, consulting, technical assistance and systems integration services, primarily for agencies of the U.S. government.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the MSS segment reported revenue of $186.8 million and operating income of $3.4 million, compared to revenue of $184.7 million and operating income of $4.5 million for the same period during fiscal year 2007. This represents a 1% increase in revenue and a 24% decrease in operating income year over year. Segment results were affected by a timing delay in the execution of new task orders with respect to a U.S. government contract. This delay was remedied by new project wins with a potential value up to $334.5 million in the past 75 days. MSS revenue, net of other direct costs increased 35% for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2007, to $27.1 million.

Outlook
AECOM announced backlog and selected-not-booked results totaling $6.83 billion at Dec. 31, 2007, a 25% increase year over year.
AECOM delivered very strong results across all end markets and geographies during the first quarter, said Michael S. Burke, AECOM executive vice president, chief corporate officer and chief financial officer. Moreover, the significant increase in our backlog and selected-not-booked revenue of $815 million, indicate continued strength in our end markets.
Based on our results, backlog, and recent strategic acquisitions, we have raised our diluted earnings per share outlook range for fiscal year 2008 to $1.23 to $1.29, said Burke.
AECOM is hosting a conference call today at 11 a.m. EST, during which management will make a brief presentation focusing on the companys results, strategies and operating trends. Interested parties can listen to the conference call and view accompanying slides via webcast on the Internet at www.aecom.com. The webcast will be available for replay following the call.
