Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2023 Highlights

Fourth quarter revenue increased 12% to $3.8 billion, operating income decreased by 56% to $80 million, the operating margin decreased by 330 basis points to 2.1%, net income decreased 71% to $34 million and diluted earnings per share decreased 71% to $0.24.
- Reported results for the fourth quarter included approximately $138 million of costs primarily related to accelerated margin expansion initiatives, including the optimization of office real estate, with a benefit beginning in fiscal 2024 and beyond.
Fourth quarter organic NSR² in the design business increased by 10% for a second consecutive quarter and increased by 9% for the full year.
- Growth was led by the transportation and water markets, which account for approximately 60% of the Company's NSR².
The segment adjusted¹ operating margin³ was 15.2% in the fourth quarter, an increase of 60 basis points from the prior year.
- The full year segment adjusted¹ operating margin³ of 14.7% exceeded guidance and increased 60 basis points from the prior year to an all-time high.
Full year adjusted¹ EBITDA⁴ and adjusted¹ EPS of $964 million and $3.71, respectively, exceeded both the Company's original and increased guidance mid-points.
- Adjusted¹ EPS increased by 12% compared to the prior year on a constant-currency basis, which outperformed prior guidance for a 10% year-over-year increase.
Backlog in the design business increased by 12%⁶ to a record high, driven by strength in the Company's global water, transportation and environment businesses, which are benefitting from increased investment in infrastructure, sustainability and resilience, and the energy transition.

Fiscal 2024 Financial Guidance

Building on the successes of fiscal 2023, AECOM expects to deliver another year of strong organic NSR² growth, record segment adjusted¹ operating margins³, and double-digit adjusted¹ earnings per share growth, including:
- Organic NSR² growth of approximately 8% to 10%.
- A segment adjusted¹ operating margin³ of approximately 15.6%, a 90 basis point increase from fiscal 2023, which includes:
  - Approximately two-thirds of the margin expansion from high-returning organic growth, which alone puts the Company ahead of its 15% target for fiscal 2024.
  - Approximately one-third of the margin expansion from the acceleration of the Company's continuous improvement initiatives, primarily related to real estate efficiencies.
- Adjusted¹ EBITDA⁴ of between $1,065 million and $1,105 million, representing a 13% increase at the mid-point over fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted¹ EPS of between $4.35 and $4.55, reflecting a 20% increase at the mid-point over fiscal 2023.
Other assumptions incorporated into guidance:
- Reflecting the highly cash generative nature of its Professional Services business, the Company expects 100%+ adjusted¹ net income to free cash flow⁵ conversion.
- An average fully diluted share count of 138 million, which reflects only shares repurchased to-date, though the Company intends to continue repurchasing stock that would provide a benefit to per share earnings.
- An effective tax rate of between 24% and 26%.
The Company expects a return on invested capital⁷ (ROIC) of approximately 20% in fiscal 2024, reflecting its achievement in fiscal 2023 of its previously increased 17% target.

Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation Update

Full year operating cash flow was $696 million and free cash flow⁵ was $591 million, reflecting the achievement of the Company's cash flow guidance for a ninth consecutive year.
The Company also affirmed its returns-focused capital allocation policy, including:
- The Board of Directors approved an increase to its share repurchase authorization to $1 billion, reflecting the Company's commitment to returning substantially all available cash flow to investors after investments in accelerating organic growth.
- Increased the quarterly dividend by 22% to $0.22 per share, marking a second consecutive year of 20%+ increases and fulfilling the Company's ongoing commitment to raise the dividend per share by double-digits annually.
- Allocated approximately $475 million to stockholders in fiscal 2023 through share repurchases and dividends.
  - In total, shares outstanding has declined by 19% since the initiation of the repurchase program in September 2020.
The Company continues to operate with a strong balance sheet that provides a competitive advantage, with approximately 80% of its debt fixed, swapped to fixed, or capped over the next several years and no near-term bond maturities.

"I am proud of our performance in fiscal 2023, including exceeding our initial and increased earnings guidance mid-points and enhancing our long-term visibility through a record design backlog and 20% pipeline growth," said Troy Rudd, AECOM's chief executive officer. "We have focused our capital and technical expertise on the fastest-growing markets around the globe, which has resulted in a record win rate on the highest-returning opportunities. As reflected in our strong fiscal 2024 guidance, which includes 20% expected adjusted EPS growth, we have built an enviable leadership position and competitive advantage to fully capitalize on robust end market growth ahead."

"Our unrivaled technical expertise and culture of collaboration is evident in the many transformational wins of the past year that reaffirm our leadership position in key markets including water, transportation, and environment," said Lara Poloni, AECOM's president. "The secular megatrends of global investments in infrastructure, sustainability, resilience and the energy transition are converging to create an undeniable growth cycle and we are well positioned to lead. Through our Think and Act Globally strategy, we are magnifying our competitive advantages by collaborating to bring the best technical resources to our clients for their most complex and challenging projects."

"Our consistently strong financial performance is a testament to the inherent attributes of our Professional Services business, including high-returning, lower risk consulting activities for well-funded clients, that result in consistently strong cash flow," said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM's chief financial officer. "Through our returns-focused capital allocation policy, we have returned $2 billion to stockholders since 2020. We are furthering this focus with our increased repurchase authorization and increased quarterly dividend, which reflects our confidence in continued earnings and cash flow growth."

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements in this communication other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, profitability, strategic value creation, risk profile and investment strategies, and any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and the expected financial and operational results of AECOM. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: our business is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns and client spending reductions; limited control over operations that run through our joint venture entities; liability for misconduct by our employees or consultants; failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to our business; maintaining adequate surety and financial capacity; potential high leverage and inability to service our debt and guarantees; ability to continue payment of dividends; exposure to political and economic risks in different countries, including tariffs; currency exchange rate and interest fluctuations; retaining and recruiting key technical and management personnel; legal claims; inadequate insurance coverage; environmental law compliance and adequate nuclear indemnification; unexpected adjustments and cancellations related to our backlog; partners and third parties who may fail to satisfy their legal obligations; AECOM Capital real estate development projects; managing pension cost; cybersecurity issues, IT outages and data privacy; risks associated with the expected benefits and costs of the sale of our Management Services and self-perform at-risk civil infrastructure, power construction and oil and gas construction businesses, including the risk that any contingent purchase price adjustments from those transactions could be unfavorable and result in lower aggregate cash proceeds and any future proceeds owed to us under those transactions could be lower than we expect; as well as other additional risks and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements set forth in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

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 and adjusted EPS to exclude the impact of certain items, such as amortization expense and taxes to aid investors in better understanding our core performance results. We use free cash flow to present the cash generated from operations after capital expenditures to maintain our business. We present net service revenue (NSR) to exclude pass-through subcontractor costs from revenue to provide investors with a better understanding of our operational performance. We present 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 financial guidance and long-term financial targets due to uncertainties in these non-operating items as well as other adjustments to net income. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its guidance for NSR to GAAP revenue because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty its pass-through revenue.
