CHANTILLY, Va., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE:PSN) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

CEO Commentary

"Our momentum continues with a strong start to 2024 after reporting record financial results in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. For the first quarter of 2024, we had record results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, contract awards, and total backlog," said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer. "We also achieved record first quarter organic revenue growth of 29%, making this the fourth consecutive quarter where organic growth exceeded 20%. Our record total revenue was driven by double-digit growth across all four business units and major geographies. Looking forward, I am excited about our business given the ample tailwinds we have in both segments, our strong backlog and pipeline, low recompete levels, and robust balance sheet that will enable us to continue to make accretive acquisitions to drive future revenue growth and margin expansion."

First Quarter 2024 Results

Year-over-Year Comparisons (Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023)

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 increased by $362 million, or 31%, to $1.5 billion. This increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 29% due to the continued ramp-up on recent contract awards and execution on the company's backlog programs. Operating income increased 99% to $102 million primarily due to the ramp-up of new and existing contracts. Net loss was $107 million due to a $214 million pre-tax charge related to the repurchase of a portion of the company's 2025 convertible notes in the quarter. This charge was primarily due to the strength of the company's operating performance, which drove its stock price to a level above the conversion price of the company's 2025 convertible bond. GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons was ($1.01) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.23 in the prior year period. Excluding the impact from the convertible bond transaction, GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Parsons would have been $0.49 per share.

Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the first quarter of 2024 was $141 million, a 56% increase over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 150 basis points to 9.2% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 7.7% in the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and margin increases were driven primarily by increased volume on margin accretive contracts and a deliberate focus on cost management and controls. Adjusted EPS was $0.70 in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $0.43 in the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EPS increase was driven by the previously mentioned adjusted EBITDA increase noted above.

First quarter 2024 revenue increased $275 million, or 43%, compared to the prior year period due to organic growth of 41% and the contribution from the company's SealingTech acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 130 basis points to 10.2% from 8.9% in the prior year period.

Critical Infrastructure Segment

Critical Infrastructure Year-over-Year Comparisons (Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023)

	Three Months Ended						Growth
	March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023			Dollars/ Percent			Percent
Revenue	$	626,068		$	538,920		$	87,148			16	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	48,503		$	34,158		$	14,345			42	%
Adjusted EBITDA margin		7.7	%		6.3	%		1.4	%		22	%

First quarter 2024 Critical Infrastructure revenue increased $87 million, or 16%, compared to the prior year period driven by organic growth of 15% and a nominal amount of revenue contribution from acquisitions. Organic growth was driven by higher volume in the company's Middle East and North American infrastructure portfolios.

First quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests increased by $14 million, or 42%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 140 basis points to 7.7% from 6.3% in the prior year period. The adjusted EBITDA increases were driven by higher volume on accretive programs and improved operating performance.

First Quarter 2024 Key Performance Indicators

Book-to-bill ratio: 1.4x on net bookings of $2.1 billion.
Book-to-bill ratio (trailing twelve-months): 1.2x on net bookings of $6.7 billion.
Total backlog: $9.0 billion, up $664 million from Q1 2023.
Cash flow used in operating activities: First quarter 2024: $63 million compared to $9 million in first quarter of 2023. The increased cash consumption from the prior year period was the result of timing on receipts and higher incentive compensation costs given the company's strong fiscal year 2023 operating performance and increased employee base.

Significant Contract Wins

Parsons continues to win large strategic contracts across both segments supporting national security priorities and unprecedented global infrastructure spend. During the first quarter of 2024, the company won three single-award contracts worth more than $100 million each and several other strategic wins.

Selected by the Gateway Development Commission as the delivery partner on the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project and the company plans to book its portion of this contract in the second quarter of 2024. This milestone project is supported by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and is slated to receive nearly $12 billion in Federal funding, the largest investment for a mass transit project in modern history. Over the last twelve months, Parsons has won three of the largest North America transportation wins in the company's history - the Hudson River Tunnel, JFK International Airport Roadways, and Newark Bay Bridge projects.
Option period awards totaling $970 million with a confidential customer in the company's Federal Solutions segment.

This strategic win is an important progression of the company's decades-long legacy of serving global and national non-proliferation security missions.
Awarded a $63 million contract by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center of which the company booked $44 million in the first quarter of 2024.

This is the first ground-based laser system in production and has been deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Indo-Pacific region, where it demonstrated 100% effectiveness.
Awarded a one-year base contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for system integration and cloud management services for the Traffic Coordination System for Space. The contract is valued at $27 million of which the company booked the base value of $16 million in the first quarter of 2024.

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.}
