May 26, 2020 Disclosures Safe Harbor All statements in this presentation other than statements of historical fact are “forward - looking statements” for purposes of fe deral and state securities laws, including any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, profitability, strategic value creation, coronavirus impacts, risk profile and investment s tra tegies, and any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and the expected financial or operational results of AECOM or any of its business segments. Forward - looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” and other similar words. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward - looking statements are reasonable, actual results could diffe r materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward - looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward - looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed in this presentation. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to di ffe r materially from estimates or projections contained in our forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: our business is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns and client spen din g reductions; impacts caused by the coronavirus and the related economic instability and market volatility, including the reaction of governments to the coronavirus, including any prolonged period of travel, co mme rcial or other similar restrictions, the delay in commencement, or temporary or permanent halting of construction, infrastructure or other projects, requirements that we remove our employees or personnel f rom the field for their protection, and delays in planned initiatives by our governmental or commercial clients or potential clients; losses under fixed - price contracts; limited control over operations run through our joint venture entities; liability for misconduct by our employees or consultants; failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to our business; maintaining adequate surety and financial capacity; high leverage an d potential inability to service our debt and guarantees; exposure to Brexit; exposure to political and economic risks in different countries; currency exchange rate fluctuations; retaining and recruitin g k ey technical and management personnel; legal claims; inadequate insurance coverage; environmental law compliance and adequate nuclear indemnification; unexpected adjustments and cancellations related to our ba ckl og; partners and third parties who may fail to satisfy their legal obligations; AECOM Capital real estate development projects; managing pension cost; cybersecurity issues, IT outages and data privacy; ris ks associated with the benefits and costs of the Management Services transaction, including the risk that the expected benefits of the Management Services transaction or any contingent purchase price will no t b e realized within the expected time frame, in full or at all; the risk that costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the Management Services transaction will exceed our es tim ates or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations; as well as other additional risks and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward - looking statements set forth in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward - looking statements are made as of the date hereof. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward - looking statemen t. Non - GAAP Financial Information This presentation contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting pri nciples (“GAAP”). The Company believes that non - GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA, net service revenue, organic net service revenue and free cash flow provide a meaningful perspective on i ts business results as the Company utilizes this information to evaluate and manage the business. We use adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of non - operating items, such as amortization expense, taxes an d non - core operating losses to aid investors in better understanding our core performance results. We use free cash flow to represent the cash generated after capital expenditures to maintain our busines s. We present constant currency information, such as organic net service revenue, to help assess how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations to aid investo rs in better understanding our international operational performance. We present net service revenue to exclude subcontractor costs from revenue to provide investors with a better understanding of our operation al performance. Our non - GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information de termined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non - GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non - GAAP measures is found in the Regulation G Information tables at the back of this presentation. When we provide our long term projections for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a forward - looking basis, the closest corresp onding GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the differences between the non - GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to the length, hi gh variability, complexity and low visibility associated with the non - GAAP expectation projected against the multi - year forecast which could significantly impact the GAAP measure.
