“Our strong second quarter and fiscal year-to-date performance highlights the strength and resiliency of our business,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our competitive advantages of scale, infrastructure domain and technical expertise, and strong client relationships are key to our successes. We are continuing to invest at record levels to enhance our client value proposition and expand our addressable market, which includes our proprietary AI investments and growing our Advisory practice. Taken together, we are well positioned to deliver on both our twice-raised fiscal 2026 guidance and our long-term financial targets.”

“Our teams continue to build momentum and our investments to extend our competitive advantages are contributing to a strengthened client value proposition,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “Now more than ever, we are positioned to deliver complex technical expertise at scale.”

“As our second quarter performance and raised full year financial guidance underscore, we have an enduring competitive advantage that allows us to continue to deliver,” said Gaurav Kapoor, AECOM’s chief financial and operations officer. “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 leverage9 of 1.2x.
