Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
“Our competitive advantages have enabled us to consistently
win increasingly valuable projects, and in turn, deliver continued earnings growth year after year.”
Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
· Underlying cash flow in the
second quarter was consistent with expectations, but was offset by delayed payment timing in the Middle East business, as well as
longer-than-anticipated claim resolution on certain projects.
· Importantly,
collections in the Middle East have already recovered in the fiscal third quarter and AECOM
reiterated its full year free cash flow guidance, as well as its long-term 100%+ free cash
flow conversion target.
· The
Company returned $155 million to shareholders through repurchases and dividends in the quarter.
- Since
the initiation of its repurchase program in September 2020, the Company has returned
more than $3.5 billion of capital to shareholders.
- The
Company remains committed to executing its returns-focused capital allocation policy, which
includes returning substantially all available cash flow to shareholders through repurchases
and dividends.
· The
Company maintains a strong balance sheet with net leverage 9 of 1.2x.
Fiscal 2026 and Long-Term Financial
Guidance
· The
Company increased its fiscal 2026 earnings guidance, supported by its strong year-to-date
performance, another quarter of record backlog and double-digit pipeline growth.
· As
a result, the Company’s guidance now includes expectations for:
‒ Adjusted 2
EPS of between $5.90 and $6.10, as compared to $5.85 to 6.05 previously, which now represents
14% year-over-year growth at the mid-point of the range.
‒ Adjusted 2
EBITDA 5 of between $1,275 million and $1,305 million, as compared to $1,27
