CEO Commentary
“We are very pleased with our second quarter results and what the entire Parsons’ team continues to accomplish. Over the last three years, we have transformed the company into a high-value solutions provider that differentiates by leveraging software and cutting-edge technology,” said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer. This has resulted in another quarter of record revenue, profitability and cash flow, industry-leading organic revenue growth in both segments, improved win rates and a demonstrated ability to win larger contracts.”“We achieved over 20% organic growth for the fifth consecutive quarter and double-digit growth across all business units and geographies. We also announced a strategic acquisition that expands our customer base and strengthens our offensive cyber operations and electronic warfare, while adding new capabilities in the counterspace radio frequency domain at a time when near peer adversaries are becoming increasingly aggressive. We are excited about our future as we are well-positioned to take advantage of the tailwinds that are positively impacting both of our segments and six end-markets.”
Second Quarter 2024 Results
Year-over-Year Comparisons (Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023)
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 increased by $314 million, or 23%, to $1.7 billion. This increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 22% due to the continued ramp-up on recent contract awards and execution on the company's backlog programs including significant growth from its critical infrastructure protection, cyber, and urban development markets. Operating income increased 46% to $111 million primarily due to the ramp-up of new and existing contracts. Net income increased 60% to $69 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons was $0.63 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.38 in the prior year period.Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the second quarter of 2024 was $150 million, a 27% increase over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 30 basis points to 9.0% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 8.7% in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and margin increases were driven primarily by higher volume on margin accretive contracts, program execution, and a deliberate focus on indirect cost management. Adjusted EPS was $0.84 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.63 in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year adjusted EPS increase was driven by the previously mentioned adjusted EBITDA increase noted above.

Second quarter 2024 Federal Solutions adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests increased by $17 million, or 20%.

Significant Contract Wins
Parsons continues to win new business across both segments and all six end markets. During the second quarter of 2024, the company won two single-award contracts worth more than $100 million each.- Awarded an option period totaling $460 million under the company’s Technical Engineering, Advisory, and Management Support contract. On this program, Parsons provides system engineering and integration for the Nation’s missile defense system. This includes engineering expertise to oversee the development of hardware and software builds, ensuring cyber resilience, and provide warfighting capabilities to defend the U.S. Homeland, our deployed forces, and Allies. This award continues Parsons more than 40-year history supporting the Missile Defense Agency with technology-enabled services such as digital engineering.
- Awarded over $160 million of awards in Saudi Arabia, including a confidential $41 million contract for technical consulting, $60 million of additional scope on existing contracts, approximately $30 million of new work for a resort and marina and new work supporting a Saudi developer. Parsons' momentum in the Middle East, and the Saudi market in particular, continues as both markets achieved double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter, exceeding its Q2 plan. The company also increased its fiscal year 2024 forecast for both markets. Parsons currently has the largest qualified pipeline in the company’s history in both Saudi Arabia and the Middle East overall, and its Saudi business is so diverse that no single contract represents more than 2% of its total revenue.
- Awarded an option period totaling $110 million on the General Services Administration C5ISR, exercise, operations, and information services contract. On this program, Parsons designs, develops, trains and deploys scalable machine learning solutions to extract actionable intelligence from vast amounts of data and delivers it to Intelligence analysts and warfighters.
- Awarded a new $46 million contract for operations and maintenance of intelligent transportation systems by the Virginia Department of Transportation.
- After the second quarter ended, the company was awarded a $69 million contract over three years to provide Army family housing. Parsons presence in Guam, Kwajalein, and Hawaii continues to strengthen and is aligned to the FY 2025 Pacific Deterrence Initiative of $9.9 billion for targeted investment to enhance U.S. force posture, infrastructure, presence and readiness of the U.S. Allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
Additional Corporate Highlights
Parsons continues its successful track record of acquiring strategic companies in high-growth markets that broaden its portfolio and customer footprint. During the quarter, the company was recognized as a top three global industry leader for professional services by Engineering News-Record and received multiple awards for its sustainable practices and innovative solutions. Parsons was also recognized as one of the best places to work for new graduates.- After the second quarter ended, Parsons entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BlackSignal Technologies in a transaction valued at approximately $200 million. BlackSignal is a next-generation digital signal processing, electronic warfare, and cyber security provider built to counter near peer threats. Upon closing, the acquisition will expand Parsons’ customer base across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community and significantly strengthen Parsons’ positioning within offensive cyber operations and electronic warfare, while adding new capabilities in the counterspace radio frequency domain, a market anticipated to grow more than 10% annually with double-digit margin expectations.
- Recognized by Engineering News-Record as one of the top three global companies in each of their 2024 rankings for Professional Services: Program Management, Construction Management, and Program/Construction Management for Fee firms. These rankings reflect the company's worldwide reputation and ability to successfully win and execute infrastructure programs.

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’s 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.1 Book-to-Bill ratio is calculated as total contract awards divided by total revenue for the period.
