AECOM Technology (NYSE: ACM) reported Q1 EPS of $0.53, $0.02 better than the analyst estimate of $0.51. Revenue for the quarter came in at $4.36 billion versus the consensus estimate of $4.24 billion.
AECOM is reiterating fiscal year 2017 adjusted EPS2 guidance of $2.80 to $3.20, which includes approximately $0.20 of anticipated gains related to AECOM Capital realizations.
"Drawing on our full suite of capabilities and global reach, AECOM’s strong momentum has continued into fiscal 2017,” said Michael S. Burke, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our first quarter wins totaled nearly $6 billion, highlighted by the selection of our joint venture for the more than $1 billion decommissioning of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). Importantly, our confidence in the five-year financial targets that we introduced in December is bolstered by the bipartisan support for infrastructure, the more than $200 billion global nuclear decommissioning market, prospects for increased defense spending, and the new administration’s emphasis on improving the climate for business investment in the U.S.”
\"We have never been better positioned to capitalize on the improving trends across our markets” said Stephen M. Kadenacy, AECOM’s president and chief operating officer. “Our strong wins and growing pipeline reflect increased investments in business development and a focus on driving collaboration across the company.”
“Our earnings result met our expectations and included a $0.12 benefit from legal proceedings, primarily related to the legal settlement we disclosed in November 23, 2016 and included as part of updated financial guidance,” said W. Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief financial officer. “Importantly, we delivered operating cash flow that is consistent with normal phasing and our plan for the year.”
