CENTREVILLE, VA – November 3, 2021, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

CEO Commentary

“Overall, we had a good third quarter as we delivered on the strategic and financial objectives we established at the conclusion of the second quarter. We reported strong sequential total and organic revenue growth of 9% and 7%, respectively, won a number of significant contract awards, increased hiring activity, delivered strong program execution and reported solid margins in our core businesses. We also closed two key acquisitions and announced a $100 million dollar share repurchase program, which will enable us to continue to drive shareholder value while maintaining ample balance sheet flexibility,” said Carey Smith, president and chief executive officer of Parsons.

“As I look forward, I remain excited about our prospects. We are well positioned across two large, attractive, and growing markets, as evidenced by our performance in the quarter. We have solidified our core business with recent recompete wins, hired key talent to drive future growth, and reported record backlog. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our 2021 guidance and believe the momentum we are seeing across both segments will continue to build as we move through Q4 and into 2022.”

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.

 

1 

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