CEO Commentary

"We delivered record third quarter results for total revenue, organic revenue growth, net income, adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow, and contract awards. We also achieved over 20% organic growth for the sixth consecutive quarter, while efficiently managing the business as bottom line growth continues to outpace our strong top line growth," said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer.

"In addition, we continue to leverage our strong balance sheet to invest in software and integrated solutions, as well as execute accretive acquisitions that either provide distinguished defense capabilities to counter near peer threats or strengthen our engineering expertise and increase our geographical footprint in high growth infrastructure markets. As a result of our strong operating performance and our BlackSignal acquisition, we are raising our full-year revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and cash flow guidance ranges."

Year-over-Year Comparisons (Q3 2024 vs. Q3 2023)

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 increased by $392 million, or 28%, to $1.8 billion. This increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 26% due to the ramp-up of recent contract wins and growth on existing contracts in the company's critical infrastructure protection and cyber and intelligence markets. Operating income increased 38% to $115 million primarily due to the ramp-up of new and existing contracts. Net income increased 52% to $72 million.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 20 basis points to 9.2% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 9.0% in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and margin increases were driven primarily by higher volume on margin accretive contracts and a deliberate focus on indirect cost management. Adjusted EPS was $0.95 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.69 in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EPS increase was driven by the previously mentioned adjusted EBITDA increase noted above.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" present Adjusted Net Income attributable to Parsons Corporation, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These financial measures are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Parsons has provided these Non-GAAP Measures to adjust for, among other things, the impact of amortization expenses related to our acquisitions, costs associated with a loss or gain on the disposal or sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring and related expenses, costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, software implementation costs, legal and settlement costs, and other costs considered non-operational in nature. These items have been Adjusted because they are not considered core to the company's business or otherwise not considered operational or because these charges are non-cash or non-recurring. The company presents these Non-GAAP Measures because management believes that they are meaningful to understanding Parsons's performance during the periods presented and the company's ongoing business. Non-GAAP Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and therefore are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled metrics or the financial results of other companies. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

¹Book-to-Bill ratio is calculated as total contract awards divided by total revenue for the period.
