Parsons Delivers Strong Third Quarter Results; Momentum in Core Markets
CENTREVILLE, Va., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
CEO Commentary
"We reported solid third quarter results with record revenue and adjusted EBITDA and strong cash flow," said Chuck Harrington, Chairman and CEO of Parsons Corporation. "We are established in growing and enduring markets, and we continue to win large strategic contracts, including our largest single-award cyber program to date. Our year-to-date margin expansion is driven by selling more technology-led solutions, shaping our portfolio, acquiring higher margin businesses and solid execution. Today, we are also announcing the promotion of Carey Smith to President in addition to her current role as Chief Operating Officer. This promotion recognizes Carey's contributions to our transformation and adds additional functions under her leadership to enhance support to our customers and customer-facing teams. We are excited about our future and plan to leverage our business momentum, technology-driven solutions and robust balance sheet to drive future growth and shareholder value."
Third Quarter 2019 Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2019 increased $47 million to over $1 billion, a new company record. Operating income decreased $2 million in the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to an additional $15 million of increased acquisition-related intangible amortization expenses and transaction-related costs. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons increased 10% to $0.57 primarily due to the positive impact from elections made in connection with the filing of the Company's 2018 S-Corporation tax return during the third quarter, offset by the increased acquisition-related intangible amortization and transaction-related expenses noted above and additional shares issued in the Company's IPO.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2019 was $89 million, a 0.5% increase over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 8.7% due to lower margins in the Company's Critical Infrastructure segment, offset by higher margins in the Federal Solutions segment.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons for the third quarter of 2019 was $84 million, a 1% increase over the prior year's strong performance. Adjusted EPS decreased to $0.53, compared to $0.82 in the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to a higher income tax provision and additional shares issued in the Company's IPO.

Third quarter 2019 revenue increased $42 million, or 10%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by $39 million from acquisitions and organic growth of 1%. Total revenue for the third quarter of 2018 included approximately $20 million of unusually high volume on two contracts. Excluding this increased activity, organic revenue would have increased by 5%.
Federal Solutions Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation for the third quarter of 2019 both increased by $5 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for both metrics increased to 10.4%, or by 10 basis points from the third quarter of 2018. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA margin were driven primarily by additional contract incentive fees and contributions from the Company's acquisitions, offset by increased bid and proposal costs and a greater allocation of corporate indirect general and administrative costs to the Company's Federal Solutions segment in-line with its growing share of the overall business.

Third quarter 2019 revenue increased $5 million, or 1%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was due to growth on existing contracts.
Critical Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $4 million, or -10%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin including noncontrolling interests decreased to 7.2%, or by 90 basis points from the third quarter of 2018. The decreases were primarily driven by lower equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures, including the completion of a large joint venture program, and an increase in indirect general administrative costs, partially offset by an increase in project margins from higher margin new awards.
Critical Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $4 million, or -11%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin attributable to Parsons decreased to 6.3%, or by 80 basis points from the third quarter of 2018. The decreases were primarily driven by the same factors as noted above.
Third Quarter 2019 Key Performance Indicators
The Company continues to achieve a strong book-to-bill ratio and increase its backlog. Strong third quarter operating cash flow enabled the Company to repay the entire $140 million it borrowed under its revolving credit facility in connection with the $214 million acquisition of QRC technologies. The Company's operating cash flow and significant borrowing capacity will enable ongoing investments in its growth strategy.
- Book-to-bill ratio: 1.1x on net bookings of 1.1 billion. Trailing twelve-month: 1.2x on net bookings of $4.6 billion.
- Total backlog: $8.3 billion, a 4% increase over the third quarter of 2018.
- Cash flow from operating activities: $179 million compared to $108 million in the third quarter of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019: $131 million compared to $100 million in the prior year period.
- Debt: total and net debt were $249 million and $115 million, respectively. The Company's net debt to trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio at the end of the third quarter of 2019 was 0.4x. The Company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
Recent Developments
- Announced Carey Smith's role and responsibilities expanded from Chief Operating Officer to President and Chief Operating Officer. This promotion was made in recognition of her success in leading the operations of Parsons' Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure business segments with a proven track record of organic and strategic growth. This role improves synergies among our two business segments and centralizes core operational functions.

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.
