Initiated a
$225 million G&A reduction plan to maximize the profitability of the Company’s record$54 billion backlog; the majority of the cost reductions are expected to occur in the first half of fiscal 2019 and will primarily benefit the DCS segment where the fiscal 2019 adjusted operating income margin is expected to increase by at least 110 basis points to greater than 7%. - Continued evaluation of the Company’s geographic exposure to prioritize investments in markets with higher growth prospects and where its competitive advantages are greatest, which includes the expectation to exit more than 30 countries.
-
AECOM Capital formed a joint venture withCanyon Partners for a real estate investment fund that will generate management fees to support the segment’s overhead costs and which will limit AECOM’s future balance sheet commitments.
-
Initiated a
-
Fiscal 2019 adjusted EBITDA guidance of
$920 –$960 million reflects 12% growth at the mid-point as compared to fiscal 2018, which demonstrates the expected strong payback on the above initiatives. -
A more profitable and lower-risk business profile, combined with the
Company’s capital allocation policy focused on shareholder returns,
including
$850 million remaining under the$1 billion Board stock repurchase authorization, is expected to result in consistently strong financial performance and shareholder value creation.

revenue, backlog, wins and free cash flow, demonstrating the strength of
our industry-leading franchises and setting a strong foundation for

About
All statements in this press release other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenue, cost savings, profitability, cash flows, tax rate, share count, stock repurchases, interest expense, capital expenditures, amortization of intangible assets and financial fees, or other financial items, any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, profitability, risk profile and investment strategies and any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance. 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; we are dependent
on long-term government contracts and subject to uncertainties related
to government contract appropriations; governmental agencies may modify,
curtail or terminate our contracts; government contracts are subject to
audits and adjustments of contractual terms; impacts of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Acts legislation; we may experience losses under fixed-price
contracts; we have limited control over operations run through our joint
venture entities; we may be liable for misconduct by our employees or
consultants or our failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable
to our business; we may not maintain adequate surety and financial
capacity; we are highly leveraged and may not be able to service our
debt and guarantees; we have exposure to political and economic risks in
different countries where we operate as well as currency exchange rate
fluctuations; we may not be able to retain and recruit key technical and
management personnel; we may be subject to legal claims and we may have
inadequate insurance coverage; we are subject to environmental law
compliance and we may have inadequate nuclear indemnification; there may
be unexpected adjustments and cancellations related to our backlog; we
are dependent on partners and third parties who may fail to satisfy
their obligations; we may not be able to manage pension costs; we may
face cybersecurity issues and IT outages; 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
This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In particular, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted tax rate, adjusted interest expense, organic revenue, and free cash flow also provide a meaningful perspective on its business results as the Company utilizes this information to evaluate and manage the business. We use adjusted EBITDA, EPS and operating income to exclude the impact of non-operating items, such as amortization expense, taxes, acquisition and integration expenses, and non-core operating losses. We use free cash flow to represent the cash generated after capital expenditures to maintain our business. 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.
When we provide our long term projections for organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS growth, and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, the closest corresponding GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to length of the forecasted period and potential high variability, complexity and low visibility as to items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period.
