AECOM earnings guidance tops estimates, sending  shares up over 2%

NEW YORK - AECOM (NYSE:ACM) reported second quarter fiscal 2025 results that beat analyst expectations on earnings and raised its full-year guidance, sending shares up 2.7% in after-hours trading.

The global infrastructure consulting firm posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.25, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.20. Revenue came in at $1.87 billion, slightly below expectations of $1.91 billion but up 4% year-over-year on a net service revenue basis.

AECOM increased its fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $5.10 to $5.20, above the analyst consensus of $5.11. The company cited strong backlog growth and margin expansion as key drivers.

"We continue to deliver on our financial and strategic objectives, just as we have over the past several years, and we are increasing our financial guidance for a second consecutive quarter as a result," said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chairman and CEO.

Backlog grew 3% to a record $24.3 billion, driven by a 1.1x book-to-burn ratio in both the Americas and International design businesses. The company’s pipeline of opportunities also increased to a new record.

AECOM expanded its adjusted EBITDA margin by 90 basis points to 16.3%, a second quarter record. Free cash flow surged 141% to $178 million.

The strong results and outlook reflect AECOM’s positioning to benefit from secular trends in global infrastructure investment, energy, sustainability and resilience, according to management.
