Establishing fiscal year 2022 guidance

 

CENTREVILLE, VA – February 23, 2022, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

CEO Commentary

“We had a strong finish to the year and achieved our fourth quarter and full-year 2021 objectives as we delivered encouraging second half growth over the first half, maintained our hiring and retention momentum, won several large contract awards, and continued to be recognized for our long-standing commitment to ESG,” said Carey Smith, president and chief executive officer of Parsons.

“I am very excited about our future. Our portfolio is closely aligned to important macro trends, and we continue to differentiate ourselves and win new contracts through innovation. Our Critical Infrastructure segment is benefiting from increased spending on global infrastructure, including transportation, environmental remediation and water and wastewater treatment. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are escalating, and our Federal Solutions business is supporting our customers in critical areas of national security including cyber, space, missile defense and C5ISR. We expect our momentum will continue and we look forward to executing against our strategy and driving additional shareholder value in 2022 and beyond.”

Fourth quarter 2021 Critical Infrastructure revenue decreased $54 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower pass-through revenue and project completions and transitions.

Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased by $9 million, or 18%, compared to the prior year period.

Significant Contract Wins in the Fourth Quarter of 2021

Parsons continues to win large strategic contracts in markets of national security, digital transformation, and ESG importance. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the company won three single-award contracts worth approximately $100 million or more each, including one of the largest awards in the company’s history. In addition, Parsons continues to win meaningful multiple-award IDIQ contracts.

Awarded a $2 billion contract to perform as the care and maintenance operator and project and construction manager at Faro Mine in Faro, Yukon, Canada. Once the world’s largest open pit lead-zinc mine, the Faro Mine Remediation Project is one of the most complex abandoned mine clean-up projects. This is one of the largest contract awards in Parsons’ history.

Awarded a $104 million, single award five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract by an Intelligence Community customer.

BlackHorse Solutions, a company Parsons acquired in the third quarter of 2021 was awarded expanded scope on a single-award contract that the company expects to have an approximate value of $100 million. This award includes customers from the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Civilian organizations that span cybersecurity, electronic warfare, technical operations, readiness, and analytics.

Awarded a potential ten-year, $1.1 billion ceiling multiple award task order contract by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering & Support Center. The new award will support USACE Huntsville in meeting environmental and munitions response challenges, enabling lands and waters to be safely and efficiently used for their intended purposes – whether wildlife refuge, military use, or community development.

Additional Fourth Quarter 2021 Corporate Highlights

Parsons continues to build on its long-standing commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and Delivering a Better World. During the quarter, Parsons received numerous awards for its work on sustainable infrastructure that provides positive impacts on the environment and society. In addition, the company won multiple awards for being a military friendly employer.

Gordie Howe International Bridge Project, which Parsons serves as the Owner’s Engineer for the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, was recognized as a leader in sustainable infrastructure by earning the prestigious Envision Platinum Award. This certification is the highest possible distinction from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure, which recognizes efforts to achieve sustainable development and environmental performance standards at every stage of an infrastructure project, from design to construction and implementation.

Announced that the company’s work on New York City’s RFK Bridge – the Harlem River Drive North Connector Ramp – was recognized by the American Council of Engineering Companies New York with a Diamond Award as part of the 2021 New York Engineering Excellence Awards. The new ramp has decreased congestion, reduced noise pollution, eliminated 2,500 tons of CO2-equivalent per year, and improved the quality of life in neighboring East Harlem, while providing a shorter and safer route for travelers.

Parsons also received the Grand Pinnacle Award at the American Council of Engineering Companies Metropolitan Washington (ACEC/MW) Engineering Excellence Awards Gala for the team’s work on Route 7 Battlefield Parkway Interchange. The project improves mobility and safety for more than 100,000 vehicles each day and enhances mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians along the corridor. Prior to the improvement, this was the most dangerous intersection in Leesburg, VA.

Announced that the company was recognized with a Gold Award for Project Development by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships. The award honors outstanding achievements in public-private partnerships (P3s) for Parsons’ work as part of the Valley Line West Light Rail Train (LRT) team.

Recipient of three individual awards recognizing Parsons’ culture of support and empowerment to the military veteran community and its position as an excellent company for veteran employment. Awards received included: GI Jobs: Military Friendly Employers 2022 Gold Ranking; #17 on the Military Times: Best for Vets 2021; 2021 Above and Beyond Award from the Virginia Committee of Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

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.
