CENTREVILLE, Va., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
CEO Commentary
"We delivered robust cash flow and margins, along with a healthy book-to-bill ratio in the fourth quarter. We also generated strong full-year results in the midst of a global pandemic, setting new corporate records for cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin," said Chuck Harrington, chairman and chief executive officer of Parsons Corporation.
"We will continue to build and leverage our strong balance sheet and cash flow to drive growth and differentiation through investments in our people, technology, and M&A. We are excited about our outlook and believe our strategy and portfolio are closely aligned with the Biden Administration's national defense, infrastructure, and environmental priorities. We look forward to providing a more detailed update on our strategy and outlook during our upcoming investor day."
Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased by $73 million, or 7%, from the prior year period to $964 million. This decrease was primarily driven by $45 million of contract work impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and lower pass-through revenue. Operating income increased 71% to $42 million primarily due to lower indirect, general and administrative (IG&A) expenses and increased net contract profitability. Net income increased to $22 million and net income margin increased to 2.2% from the prior year period. These increases were primarily driven by the items noted above. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons was $0.21 in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $0.14 in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $90 million, a 3% increase over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points to 9.4%. Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA was impacted by an $11 million write-down on an unconsolidated joint venture Critical Infrastructure project
Adjusted EPS increased to $0.51, compared to $0.48 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Fiscal Year 2020 Results
Total revenue of $3.9 billion for fiscal year 2020 decreased by $36 million, or 1% from the prior year period. This decrease was driven by approximately $197 million of contract work that was impacted by COVID-19. Operating income increased $86 million in fiscal year 2020 primarily due to lower IG&A costs. Net income decreased 18% from fiscal year 2019 to $99 million, and net income margin decreased 50 basis points to 2.5%. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Parsons decreased to $0.97 due to income tax benefits realized in fiscal year 2019 associated with the establishment of $94 million of deferred tax assets resulting from Parsons' conversion from an S-Corporation to a C-Corporation.
Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for fiscal year 2020 increased 5% over the prior year period to $343 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 50 basis points to 8.7% due to higher margins in the critical infrastructure segment.
Adjusted EPS decreased to $1.90, compared to $2.04 in fiscal year 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" present Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, 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 of Williams Electric, Polaris Alpha and OGSystems, initial public offering transaction-related expenses, 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 to 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.
