Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights
Reflecting as reported performance from continuing operations, revenue increased 13% to $3.9 billion, operating income increased 2% to $200 million, the operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 5.1% due to restructuring-related expenses, net income decreased 6% to $111 million, and diluted earnings per share decreased 4% to $0.81. Net service revenue(2) increased by 8%, driven by the Water, Transportation and Environment end markets, where AECOM is ranked #1 by ENR, and a growing contribution from larger wins. The net service revenue growth rate included an approximately 100 basis point headwind from fewer working days compared to the prior year period. The segment adjusted(1) operating margin(3) increased by 70 basis points to 15.1% and the adjusted EBITDA margin(5) increased by 40 basis points to 15.4%; both metrics set a new second quarter record driven by the benefits of growth, operating efficiencies, and strong execution, while enabling strong investments in business development. Adjusted(1) EBITDA(4) increased by 10% to a new record and adjusted(1) EPS increased by 13%; adjusted(1) EPS increased by 17% on an operational basis(8), which was partially offset by a higher tax rate compared to the prior year. Total backlog increased by 3%(7) to a record level driven by a continued high win rate and a growing contribution from larger wins that enhance long-term earnings visibility.
' Program Management backlog increased by 45% to a record high, with strength driven by large Transportation, Water, and energy transition related wins.
' Through ongoing investments in Program Management and Advisory, the Company has extended its competitive advantages, expanded its addressable share of the high value global infrastructure cycle, and elevated its value proposition for clients.
Fiscal 2024 Financial Guidance
The Company raised its fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA(4) guidance to between $1,070 million and $1,105 million, reflecting strong operational performance to date and confidence in the second half of the fiscal year, supported by a record backlog position. The Company's guidance also includes expectations for:
' Organic NSR(2) growth of approximately 8% to 10%.
' A segment adjusted(1) operating income margin(3) of approximately 15.6%, representing a 90 basis point increase from fiscal 2023.
' Adjusted(1) EPS of between $4.35 and $4.55, representing a 20% increase at the mid-point over fiscal 2023.
Other assumptions incorporated into guidance:
' 100%+ free cash flow(6) conversion, reflecting the highly cash generative nature of the Company's Professional Services business.
' An average fully diluted share count of 137 million, which reflects only shares repurchased to-date, though the Company intends to continue repurchasing stock which would provide a benefit to per share earnings.
' An adjusted effective tax rate of between 24% and 26% for the full year; this includes an expected tax rate in the high 20%'s in the third fiscal quarter, consistent with last year's phasing.
The Company expects to deliver a return on invested capital(9) (ROIC) of approximately 20% in fiscal 2024. See the Regulation G Information tables at the back of this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Update
Operating cash flow in the second quarter was $94 million and free cash flow(6) was $74 million, which contributed to a 156% increase in free cash flow in the first half of the fiscal year as compared to the prior year period. The Company's returns-focused capital allocation policy prioritizes investments in organic growth followed by share repurchases and dividends.
- Returned $145 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in the first half of the fiscal year, consistent with the Company's free cash flow phasing.
- In total, the Company has returned nearly $2.1 billion of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends since September 2020.
In April, the Company completed a strategic refinancing of its revolving credit facility, Term Loan A and Term Loan B to lock in historically attractive pricing and extend the maturity of its debt, with no material change to expected annual net interest expense. This transaction enhanced the Company's ability to operate with greater certainty, invest in organic growth, and return capital to shareholders.
"We delivered strong second quarter and first half financial performance, and as a result we are increasing the mid-point of our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year," said Troy Rudd, AECOM's chief executive officer. "Across our performance, our strong revenue growth, record profitability, and a record backlog and pipeline demonstrate the competitive advantage we have built. Our Program Management and Advisory services are a key element of our success as we leverage the strength of our 52,000 technical experts, elevate the value of our capabilities and capture a greater share of the profit opportunity on our pursuits. Our Program Management backlog increased 45% year-over-year in the quarter and continues to represent an increasing share of our work, which provides us with greater visibility as the secular mega trends of global infrastructure investment, sustainability and resilience, and the energy transition accelerate."
"We are investing in our technical expertise and in global collaboration, and as a result, we continue to win at a high rate, which is evident in our record backlog and pipeline," said Lara Poloni, AECOM's president. "To build on this momentum, we recently launched our TechEx initiative aimed at elevating our culture through an unrivaled commitment to technical and professional development programs for our teams. When combined with our focus on our highest-returning markets and largest clients, we have created a platform that allows us to consistently bring our best resources to our clients' most challenging infrastructure investments. As a result, on all of our largest wins, it is the strength of our technical proposal and expertise that have led to our successes."
"Our strong second quarter and year-to-date results underpin our confidence in the full year, including in delivering on the increase to the mid-point of our adjusted EBITDA guidance," said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM's chief financial and operations officer. "Building on the strength of our financial performance, after the quarter ended, we successfully amended and extended our credit facility, creating greater certainty around our cost of capital and maintaining a prudent mix of approximately 70% fixed and 30% floating rate debt. Importantly, even in the current higher interest rate environment, we maintained our historically low cost of debt and are able to continue to execute on our returns-focused capital allocation policy with confidence."
Business Segments
Americas
Revenue in the second quarter was $3.0 billion. Net service revenue(2) was $1.1 billion, a 10% increase from the prior year.
Operating income increased by 6% over the prior year to $189 million. On an adjusted(1) basis, operating income increased by 6% to $194 million. The adjusted operating margin on net service revenue was 18.0%, which remains at the top of our industry, and includes the positive impacts of growth and enables investments to enhance the Company's technical and digital capabilities and to pursue a record volume of opportunities.
International
Revenue in the second quarter was $905 million. Net service revenue(2) was $746 million, a 6% increase from the prior year. The Company had fewer working days compared to the prior year period, which resulted in an approximately 200 basis point headwind to net service revenue growth.
Operating income and adjusted(1) operating income both increased by 35% over the prior year to $81 million and $82 million, respectively. The adjusted operating margin on net service revenue increased by 240 basis points over the prior year to 10.9%, which is driven by the Company's narrowed geographic focus, reduced real estate footprint, and ongoing operational efficiencies.
AECOM Capital
After the quarter ended, the Company completed a transaction that transitioned the AECOM Capital team to a new platform and enabled the team to continue to support AECOM Capital's existing investments and investment vehicles in a manner consistent with its current obligations, while capping expected future G&A costs associated with the wind-down of activities.
Discontinued Operations
The Company recorded a $103 million loss related to revisions of estimated contingent consideration receivables recognized at the time of sale related to the 2021 sale of the Company's civil construction business.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2024, AECOM had $1.2 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 billion of total debt and $1.0 billion of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents). Net leverage(10) was 0.9x.
Tax Rate
The effective tax rate was 26.6% in the second quarter. On an adjusted(1) basis, the effective tax rate was 28.2%. The adjusted tax rate was derived by re-computing the quarterly effective tax rate on adjusted net income(11). 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; potential government shutdowns or other funding circumstances that may cause governmental agencies to modify, curtail or terminate our contracts; losses under fixed-price contracts; 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, geopolitical events, and conflicts; 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; managing pension costs; AECOM Capital real estate development projects; cybersecurity issues, IT outages and data privacy; risks associated with the benefits and costs of the sale of our Management Services and self-perform at-risk civil infrastructure, power construction and oil and gas businesses, including the risk that any purchase adjustments from those transactions could be unfavorable and result in any future proceeds owed to us as part of the 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, segment adjusted operating margin, 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 operating income, adjusted net income, 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 present the cash generated from operations after capital expenditures to maintain our business. We present net service revenue (NSR) to exclude pass-through subcontractor costs from revenue to provide investors with a better understanding of our operational performance. We present segment adjusted operating margin to reflect segment operating performance of our Americas and International segments, excluding AECOM Capital. We present adjusted tax rate to reflect the tax rate on adjusted earnings. We also use constant-currency growth rates where appropriate, which are calculated by conforming the current period results to the comparable period exchange rates.
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 certain of 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. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its guidance for NSR to GAAP revenue because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty its pass-through revenue.
