CENTREVILLE, VA – May 6, 2020, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

CEO Commentary

“I would like to send our deepest sympathies to all who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These are challenging times for everyone, and we will continue to put the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and partners first,” said Chuck Harrington, Chairman and CEO of Parsons Corporation. “In what was an unprecedented first quarter, we delivered strong organic revenue growth and achieved profitability results that exceeded our internal plan. We continue to win high-end work in our Federal Solutions market and delivered revenue growth in our Critical Infrastructure segment. Our strong balance sheet, low leverage, more than $400 million of undrawn revolver capacity, and our deep backlog positions us well to weather COVID-19 uncertainties.”

First Quarter 2020 Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2020 increased 7% to $971 million. This increase was primarily driven by organic revenue growth of 11% in the Federal Solutions segment, along with 2.5% organic growth in the Critical Infrastructure segment. Operating income increased 3% to $24 million primarily due to organic revenue growth. Net income increased 33% over the prior year period to $13 million, and net income margin increased to 1.3%. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons was $0.13 in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.12 in the first quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the first quarter of 2020 was $60 million, a 16% decrease from the strong prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 6.2%.

 

 

 

 

 


 

Adjusted EPS decreased to $0.33, compared to $0.62 in the first quarter of 2019.

First quarter 2020 revenue increased $55 million, or 13%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by organic growth of 11% and $6 million from acquisitions.

First quarter 2020 Federal Solutions Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased by $9 million, or 22%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 6.6%. The decreases were driven primarily by an increase in volume on contracts with higher subcontractor and material costs, and an increase in indirect, general and administrative (IG&A) expenses, due in large part to various favorable overhead adjustments, which occurred in first quarter of 2019 but did not reoccur in the first quarter of 2020.

First quarter 2020 revenue increased $12 million, or 2.5%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by growth on existing contracts.

First quarter 2020 Critical Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased by $3 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin including noncontrolling interests decreased to 5.8%. These decreases were primarily driven by lower equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.

First Quarter 2020 Key Performance Indicators

Book-to-bill ratio: 1.0x on net bookings of $966 million. Trailing twelve-month: 1.0x on net bookings of $4.0 billion.

Total backlog: $7.8 billion, a 9% decrease over the first quarter of 2019.

Cash flow used in operating activities: First quarter 2020: $119 million, compared to cash used in operating activities of $60 million in the first quarter of 2019. The outflow increase was primarily driven by costs related to previously disclosed pre-IPO long-term incentive compensation plans linked to the company’s share price.

Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance

The company is reiterating the fiscal year 2020 guidance it issued on March 10, 2020, based on its financial results for the first quarter of 2020 and its current outlook for the remainder of year. The table below summarizes the company’s fiscal year 2020 guidance.

Revenue

$3.95 billion - $4.05 billion

Adjusted EBITDA including non-controlling interest

$330 million - $360 million

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

$230 million - $250 million

Net income guidance is not presented as the company believes market volatility in its share price and the resulting impact on the company’s equity-based compensation expense and net income will preclude the company from providing accurate projections for fiscal year 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" present Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, 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 of Williams Electric, Polaris Alpha and  OGSystems, initial public offering transaction-related expenses, 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 to 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.
