Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

Year-over-Year Comparison (Q4 2022 vs. Q4 2021)

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by $152 million, or 16%, to $1.1 billion. This increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 9% as a result of the strength of our Critical Infrastructure operations. The company’s Xator acquisition contributed approximately $67 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. Operating income increased 14% to $53.3 million primarily due to lower acquisition amortization and the ramp-up of new contract awards. Net income decreased to $28 million. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons was $0.25 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.26 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $98 million, an 8% increase over the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was driven by Xator and the ramp-up on new contract awards. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 9.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The margin decrease was driven by unfavorable indirect rate impacts, higher incentive compensation costs given the company’s strong performance in 2022, and volume on a lower margin federal solutions program. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.51 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.55 in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted EPS was driven primarily by higher interest and income tax expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. 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’ 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.
