Parsons reports Q1 adjusted EPS 79c, consensus 68c

Reports Q1 revenue $1.5B, consensus $1.5B. “Our first quarter results highlighted the resilience of our business and our team’s high level of execution, as we delivered our highest adjusted EBITDA margin ever, reached record levels for both total and funded backlog, achieved a robust book-to-bill ratio of 1.4x in both segments, and generated record first quarter cash flow. Revenue performance was in line with our expectations, and we continued to complement our organic growth with strategic, accretive acquisitions that enhance our differentiation and drive long-term shareholder value,” said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer. “Looking forward, we are very optimistic about our future. There is increasing global demand for both defense and infrastructure. Our ability to deliver operationally relevant solutions with speed, digitally transform our offerings, and leverage non-traditional commercial business models enables us to uniquely meet our customers’ critical needs. We have a unique and synergistic Critical Infrastructure and Federal Solutions portfolio, consisting of six growing, profitable, and enduring end-markets. With our record total and funded backlog, robust pipeline of large opportunities, strong win rates, and $11 billion in awarded contracts not yet booked, we believe we are well positioned to deliver for our customers and shareholders.”
