Chantilly, VA - July 29, 2026 Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
CEO Commentary
“Our second quarter results highlight the demand for our solutions and the effectiveness of our strategy in a dynamic macro environment,” said Carey Smith, chair, president, and chief executive officer. "Parsons delivered strong book-to-bill ratios in both segments, achieved profitable growth in its core business, and secured strategic contract wins for long-term success. The Middle East business performed exceptionally well despite regional conflict, posting a 1.1x book-to-bill ratio and 10% organic revenue growth, demonstrating strong alignment with regional spending priorities.
During the quarter, Parsons took decisive portfolio-shaping actions to focus on profitable and sustainable growth. These steps, combined with robust risk management and enhanced bid discipline, further strengthen the company’s market position and margin profile. Looking ahead, we believe Parsons’ strong backlog, robust pipeline, high win rates, and differentiated technology capabilities - especially in advanced AI, cyber, and electronic warfare - position the company to drive profitable growth and deliver long-term shareholder value."

Second quarter 2026 Critical Infrastructure revenue increased $36 million, or 5%, from the second quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by organic growth of 4% and inorganic revenue contributions from the company's Applied Sciences acquisition.

Excluding these charges, adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $97 million and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 140 bps to 11.9%. These increases were driven by accretive growth in the Middle East and improved mix in North America on higher Parsons’ labor contributions.

Cash flow from operating activities: Q2 2026 of $58 million compared to $160 million in second quarter of 2025. Cash flow decreased from the prior year period primarily due to the proactive investment of memory and storage inventory for high-margin, high-demand products aligned with national security priorities, and the timing of customer payments.

We have not provided a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance because the information needed to reconcile this measure is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred which may be significant.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
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.
Normalized Financial Measures
In addition to the Non-GAAP Measures described above, for the second quarter of 2026, the company presents normalized Revenue, Net Income, Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), and Operating Cash Flow, each reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The company also presents for the second quarter of 2026, normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS - Diluted, each of which is a non-GAAP Measure and is reconciled to the measure’s customary Non-GAAP presentation. These normalization adjustments exclude the effects of the portfolio-shaping actions and joint venture charges, as applicable and further described in this Earnings Release and the following reconciliation tables, which management does not consider indicative of the company’s core operating performance for the period presented. These adjustments may include non-recurring or unusual charges and gains, asset impairments, and other items that are not expected to occur regularly as part of the company’s normal operations. Management believes that excluding the effect of such items provides investors with supplemental information that facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and enhances an understanding of the company’s underlying business trends. These normalized financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, superior to, or more meaningful than their corresponding GAAP or customary non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
