Fiscal 2022 Financial Guidance

AECOM expects adjusted¹ EPS of between $3.20 and $3.40 and adjusted¹ EBITDA⁵ of between $880 million and $920 million, which would reflect 17% and 8% year-over-year growth at the mid-point of the respective ranges.
This guidance at the mid-point contemplates:
- Approximately 6% NSR³ growth, supported by improving growth opportunities and record contracted backlog.
- An at least 14.1% adjusted¹ operating margin⁴, which would be a new annual high, and reflect the Company's commitment to continuing to invest in people, clients and digital capabilities while delivering industry-leading profitability and progressing towards its 17% longer-term margin goal.
- An average fully diluted share count of 147 million, reflecting only shares repurchased to date, though the Company intends to repurchase stock in the year that would be an incremental benefit to earnings per share.
- An effective tax rate of approximately 26%, which reflects an expectation for a permanently lower tax rate as a result of changes in the business strategy and structure.
The Company also expects free cash flow⁶ of between $450 million and $650 million, reflecting the highly cash generative nature of its Professional Services business.
- Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $160 million, reflecting a temporary increase in fiscal 2022 to support investments in people, clients and digital innovation, as well as ongoing real estate investments to align to with the Company's flexible work programs.

Increased Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EPS Target

Reflecting its outperformance in fiscal 2021 and strong start to fiscal 2022, AECOM increased its fiscal 2024 adjusted¹ EPS target from $4.30+ to $4.75+, which would reflect an at least 19% CAGR from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2024.
The Company reiterated guidance for a 15% segment adjusted¹ operating margin⁴ by fiscal 2024, and based on progress to date, which includes achieving nearly a 15% margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company now has high conviction in delivering on its 17% longer-term margin goal.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2021 Highlights

Fourth quarter revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $3.4 billion; however, revenue increased 1% after adjusting for the extra week in the prior year period. Operating income increased 161% to $170 million, the operating margin increased 320 basis points to 5.1%, net income increased to $95 million, and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.65.
Net service revenue (NSR)³ increased 6.5%² in the Americas and International segments in the fourth quarter, marking a third consecutive quarter of accelerating growth.
Fourth quarter segment adjusted¹ operating margin⁴ increased 210 basis points to 14.8%, a new quarterly record, resulting in a full year margin of 13.8%, exceeding the Company's original guidance by 70 basis points and setting a new annual record.
- This improved profitability is enabling accelerated investments in organic growth and expanded digital capabilities through Digital AECOM, the Company's digital brand that includes a portfolio of products to more holistically serve clients on their digital transformations and that will be a key enabler towards achieving its 17% longer-term margin target.
Full year adjusted¹ EBITDA⁵ of $830 million and adjusted EPS of $2.82 were both at the high end of prior guidance ranges; full year adjusted EPS also exceeded the high end of the Company's original fiscal 2021 guidance.
Fourth quarter wins of $3.7 billion included a greater than 1 book-to-burn ratio⁷ in both the Americas and International design businesses; total backlog was $38.6 billion and included 18% contracted backlog growth, with increases in both the design and Construction Management businesses.
- Construction Management contracted backlog increased 21%, driven by the advancement of a large project that underpins the Company's expectation for a return to growth in that business in fiscal 2022; the project will now be delivered in staged phases, and the second phase has been removed from backlog accordingly. Though this client decision was taken shortly after the quarter ended, the Company included the reduction in value in its reported backlog ending September 30, 2021 given the more than $1 billion reduction to backlog.

Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Update

Fourth quarter operating cash flow of $318 million and free cash flow⁶ of $299 million contributed to full year free cash flow of $583 million, which marked the seventh consecutive year of cash flow within or above the Company's guidance range.
Since the beginning of September 2020, the Company has executed more than $1 billion of stock repurchases representing nearly 20.5 million shares, or approximately 13% of shares outstanding as compared to the beginning of the repurchase program.
In September, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to its available share repurchase authorization to $1 billion, which was consistent with its commitment to returning substantially all available cash and free cash flow to shareholders.

"Our fiscal 2021 results were highlighted by accelerating NSR growth, record operating margins, double-digit earnings growth and another year of strong free cash flow, while increasing investments in the business," said Troy Rudd, AECOM's chief executive officer. "Demand for our technical, advisory and program management capabilities is increasing against a backdrop of an improving funding environment, highlighted by the recent passing of the federal infrastructure bill in the U.S., and rising demand for ESG-related services, which underpins our expectation for accelerating revenue growth in fiscal 2022 and continued margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS growth. We are ahead of schedule on delivering against our fiscal 2024 targets, including nearly achieving the 15% segment adjusted margin target we set for fiscal 2024 in the fourth quarter this year. This outperformance has enabled accelerated investments to build on our industry-leading organic growth and high win rate, and to broaden our Digital AECOM portfolio of revenue-generating products that is further distinguishing our technical leadership for our clients. Reflecting on our accomplishments and our confidence in another strong year in fiscal 2022, we have increased our fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS target, which would mark a more than doubling of our fiscal 2020 earnings, and we have increased confidence that we will deliver against our 17% margin target over time."

"With our Think and Act Globally strategy, we are collaborating like never before, better leveraging our technical expertise to deliver for our clients globally and reaffirming our leading position in the market," said Lara Poloni, AECOM's president. "As we look ahead to fiscal 2022 and beyond, client demand is centered on advancing multi-decade ESG initiatives, where our Sustainable Legacies strategy, including our ScopeX^TM initiative that considers carbon reduction in our designs, and our increasing suite of digital capabilities are distinguishing us in the marketplace. In fact, our pipeline is up by double digits in the Americas and high single digits internationally, underpinning our strong guidance for fiscal 2022. Importantly, we are pleased to have recently published our first global ESG report that includes a review of the comprehensive initiatives underway at AECOM to ensure we lead in ESG through our own actions."

"Our markets are strong, our balance sheet is in great shape, and we are continuing to invest in building on the inherent advantages in our business model to bring the most value to our stakeholders," said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM's chief financial officer. "We took a number of actions over the course of the past year to strengthen our balance sheet and ensure we can execute our strategy with certainty. As a result, we have repurchased 13% of our stock since last September to enhance per share earnings and value for our shareholders. Following our seventh consecutive year of cash flow at or above our guidance range, we continue to expect to deliver industry-leading cash performance in fiscal 2022 and remain committed to executing on our capital allocation priorities, including returning all available cash and free cash flow to shareholders through repurchases."

On an adjusted basis¹, fourth quarter operating income increased by 16% to $183 million and increased by 7% to $660 million for the full year. The fourth quarter adjusted operating margin on an NSR³ basis of 19.8% reflected a 290 basis point increase over the prior year and marks a quarterly record. The benefits from operating efficiencies and strong underlying execution resulted in higher margins while continuing to invest in growth and innovation.

AECOM Capital

AECOM Capital revenue in the full year was $2.0 million and operating income was $2.3 million, which was below the Company's prior expectations due to the timing of anticipated property sales. The Company expects a mid-single digit million earnings contribution from AECOM Capital in fiscal 2022.

Discontinued Operations

In October 2020, the Company closed on the sale of its Power construction business and closed on the sale of the Civil construction business in January 2021. The remaining businesses included in discontinued operations returned underlying profitability.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2021, AECOM had $1.2 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, $2.2 billion of total debt, $1.0 billion of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) and $1.145 billion in unused capacity under its revolving credit facility. Net leverage⁸ was 1.0x.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 30.8% in the fourth quarter and 21.8% in the full year. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 27.5% in the fourth quarter and 27.7% in the full year. 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.

ESG Report

In early November, AECOM published its first ESG report, highlighting progress towards its sustainability goals and reaffirming the Company's ESG commitments and strategy.

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, 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 net service revenue to exclude 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.

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 long-term financial targets due to uncertainties in these non-operating items as well as other adjustments to net income.
