First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights

 

·Revenue increased 4% to $3.4 billion, operating income decreased 10% to $152 million, the operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 4.5%, net income decreased 26% to $88 million and diluted earnings per share decreased 23% to $0.62.

·Organic net service revenue2 growth accelerated to 8% and included 9% growth in the design business, which was driven by accelerating growth in the Americas and continued strong growth in International markets.

·The design business had a 1.3 book-to-burn ratio6 and design backlog increased by 9%7 to a record high, including strong growth in both the Americas and International markets.

The Company’s pipeline of opportunities expanded at an even faster rate than backlog and NSR, including nearly 30% growth in proposals and submitted bids, which is up from 20% growth in the prior quarter and is a strong leading indicator of continued backlog and NSR growth.

·The segment adjusted1 operating margin3 increased by nearly 40 basis points to 14.0%, setting a new high for a first quarter.

oThis performance reflects strong execution and accelerated investments to deliver on a growing pipeline of opportunities.

·Adjusted1 EBITDA4 of $224 million and adjusted1 EPS of $0.86 were consistent with expectations and included strong underlying operational growth.

Adjusting for the lower first quarter tax rate in the prior year, adjusted EPS increased by 8% and 13% on a constant-currency basis.

 

Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Update

 

·Operating cash flow was $120 million and free cash flow5 was $84 million.

·The Company’s capital allocation policy is built on the continued intent to return substantially all available cash flow to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends.

The Company executed additional share repurchases in the quarter and has now repurchased approximately $1.5 billion of stock since September 2020 when share repurchases commenced, which represents more than 16% of shares outstanding.

As part of its quarterly dividend program, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share in January, which marked a 20% increase over the prior quarterly dividend and reflected the Company’s commitment to increasing its quarterly dividend by a double-digit percentage annually.

 

Fiscal 2023 Financial Guidance and Long-Term Fiscal 2024 Financial Targets

 

·AECOM reiterated its financial guidance for fiscal 2023, which includes an expectation to deliver another year of record profitability, accelerating NSR growth, continued margin expansion and strong per share profit growth. The Company’s guidance includes expectations for:

Full year organic NSR2 growth of approximately 8%.

An adjusted1 operating margin of approximately 14.6%, which would be a 40 basis point increase from fiscal 2022 and includes investments to expand the Company’s competitive advantage and to capitalize on a record pipeline of opportunities.

Adjusted1 EBITDA4 of between $935 million and $975 million, an increase of 10% on a constant-currency basis at the mid-point.

Adjusted1 EPS of between $3.55 and $3.75, an increase of 10% on a constant-currency basis at the mid-point; EPS guidance does not include a benefit from incremental share repurchases expected in the remainder of fiscal 2023.

·Other assumptions incorporated into guidance:

An average fully diluted share count of 141 million, which reflects only shares repurchased to date.

An effective tax rate of between 24% and 26%.

·The Company continues to expect free cash flow5 of between $475 million and $675 million, reflecting a continued high conversion of earnings to cash flow.

·The Company also reiterated its financial targets for fiscal 2024, which include an expectation to deliver adjusted1 EPS of $4.75+ and a 15% segment adjusted operating margin, as well as long-term targets for a segment adjusted operating margin of 17% and return on invested capital8 of 17%.

 

“Our Think and Act Globally strategy continues to result in consistently strong financial performance, highlighted by accelerating organic NSR growth, strong profitability and cash flow, and a record design backlog and pipeline of opportunities,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “Importantly, through the execution of our strategy, we are leveraging our competitive advantages to favorably transform the composition of our wins and backlog and to expand the long-term earnings power of the business. This includes our sharp focus on allocating our time and capital to winning what matters, including prioritizing pursuits and clients with the highest lifetime value potential. As a result, our backlog and pipeline growth have accelerated, our visibility for growth and continued margin expansion have never been greater, and our teams are energized by the organic growth opportunities ahead.”

 

“Our competitive advantage is widening as we realize a strong return on our investments in our teams and in pursuing the highest value organic growth opportunities,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “The three secular growth drivers of growing global investments in infrastructure, sustainability and resilience, and changing supply chains and assets are accelerating opportunities in our markets. Through our technical leadership, culture of collaboration and our expanded addressable market through our program management and advisory practices, we are well positioned to outperform. Our teams are committed to our purpose of delivering a better world, which is reflected in our number one ranking in our industry on Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Company list for the third consecutive year.”

 

“We continued to set new records this quarter while delivering on our financial targets, including accelerating top line growth and expanded profitability, and driving further shareholder value,” said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM’s chief financial officer. “We remain committed to our returns-focused capital allocation policy, led by investments in organic growth, share repurchases and our quarterly dividend program, which we recently increased by 20%. Our balance sheet and cash flow remain strong, which allows us to execute with certainty.”

Americas

Operating income increased by 7% over the prior year to $164 million. On an adjusted1 basis, operating income increased by 7% to $168 million. The adjusted operating margin on an NSR2 basis of 18.2% reflected a 50 basis point increase over the prior year and continues to include accelerating investments in organic growth opportunities to capitalize on a record pipeline of pursuits.

 

 2 

 

 

International

 

Revenue in the first quarter was $803 million. Net service revenue2 was $669 million, a 12% increase from the prior year, which included growth across all key regions.

 

Operating income increased by 4% over the prior year to $55 million. On an adjusted basis1, operating income increased by 4% to $55 million. The adjusted operating margin on an NSR2 basis increased by 10 basis points over the prior year to 8.3% as the Company continues to make strong progress on its goal of achieving a double-digit margin in the International segment.

 

Balance Sheet

 

As of December 31, 2022, AECOM had $1.2 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 billion of total debt and $1.1 billion of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents). Net leverage9 was 1.0x.

 

Tax Rate

 

The effective tax rate was 21.0% in the first quarter. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 23.0%. The adjusted tax rate was derived by re-computing the quarterly effective tax rate on earnings from 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.

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, 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; limited control over operations that 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 certain items, such as amortization expense and taxes 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.
