Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 5, 2019
Jacobs Reports Earnings for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019
Strong Top- and Bottom-Line Q3 Results; Increasing Fiscal 2019 Outlook
Delivering Innovative Solutions and Disciplined Execution
DALLAS, TEXAS - Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC) today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 28, 2019.
Q3 2019 Highlights:
Gross revenue of $3.2 billion1 grew 8.0% year-over-year; net revenue grew organically by 11.1%2 
EPS from continuing operations of $0.65, results impacted by higher restructuring and transaction costs
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.40, up 13% year-over-year, including a discrete tax benefit
Backlog increased $2.6 billion to $22.5 billion, up 8% on an organic basis2 
Increasing fiscal 2019 adjusted pro forma EPS outlook to $4.75 - $5.00 (excluding full year ECR)3 
Completed $350 million of $1 billion share repurchase authorization through August 2nd

Jacobs’ Chair and CEO Steve Demetriou commented, “Our strong third quarter results and increased earnings outlook are yet another example of driving an innovative culture, strengthening our execution discipline and scaling our global network of expertise. As we execute against our strategy, we are profitably winning a greater level of business in our existing sectors, while diversifying into new high margin growth opportunities. We are creating a company like no other,
putting our knowledge and imagination together to shape the next generation of innovative solutions. Our KeyW acquisition is already delivering with a growing pipeline of new and enhanced opportunities as we bring the two organizations together.”

Jacobs’ CFO Kevin Berryman added, “We delivered another quarter of solid results across both lines of business with accelerating growth in our sales pipelines, during the most transformative period in our company's history. The CH2M integration has exceeded our revenue and cost targets and is on track to be completed by the end of calendar 2019. Our divestiture of ECR is moving into the final stages of separation. We are raising our fiscal 2019 outlook and now expect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $965 million - $1 billion and adjusted pro forma EPS of $4.75 - $5.00.3 From a long-term standpoint, we have created a transformed business with a stronger balance sheet."




















1Reflects continuing operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.
2Excludes $23.9 million in revenue and $1.1 billion in backlog contribution from KeyW.
3Reconciliation of the adjusted pro forma EPS outlook and adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full fiscal year to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict with sufficient certainty all the components required to provide such reconciliation, including with respect to the costs and charges relating to transaction expenses, restructuring and integration to be incurred in fiscal 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In this press release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are net revenue, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted EPS from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and adjusted EPS from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated by (i) excluding the costs related to the 2015 restructuring activities, which included involuntary terminations, the abandonment of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations and the co-location of employees into other existing offices; and charges associated with our Europe, U.K. and Middle East region, which included write-offs on contract accounts receivable and charges for statutory redundancy and severance costs (collectively, the “2015 Restructuring and other items”); (ii) excluding costs and other charges associated with restructuring activities implemented in connection with the CH2M acquisition, the ECR divestiture, the KeyW acquisition and other related cost reduction initiatives, which included involuntary terminations, costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and KeyW and CH2M offices, separating physical locations of ECR and continuing operations, costs and expenses of the Integration Management Office and Separation Management Office, including professional services and personnel costs, costs and charges associated with the divestiture of joint venture interests to resolve potential conflicts arising from the CH2M acquisition, expenses relating to certain commitments and contingencies relating to discontinued operations of the CH2M business, and similar costs and expenses (collectively referred to as the “Restructuring and other charges”); (iii) excluding transaction costs and other charges incurred in connection with closing of the KeyW and CH2M acquisitions and sale of the ECR business, including advisor fees, change in control payments, costs and expenses relating to the registration and listing of Jacobs stock issued in connection with the CH2M acquisition, and similar transaction costs and expenses (collectively referred to as “transaction costs”); (iv) excluding charges resulting from the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets/liabilities in connection with U.S. tax reform; (v) adding back depreciation and amortization relating to the ECR business of the Company that was ceased as a result of the application of held-for-sale accounting; (vi) adding back amortization of intangible assets; (vii) allocating to discontinued operations estimated stranded corporate costs that will be reimbursed or otherwise eliminated in connection with the sale of the ECR business; (viii) allocating to discontinued operations estimated interest expense relating to long-term debt that was paid down with the proceeds of the ECR sale; (ix) the reclassification of revenue under the Company's transition services agreement (TSA) included in other income for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes to SG&A and the exclusion of remaining unreimbursed costs associated with the TSA; (x) the exclusion of a one-time favorable adjustment in the fiscal 2019 period associated with a reduction of deferred income taxes for permanently reinvested earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries in connection with the sale of the ECR business; and (xi) other income tax adjustments. Adjustments to derive adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and adjusted EPS from continuing operations are calculated on an after-tax basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation expense to adjusted operating profit from continuing operations. Net revenue is calculated by excluding pass-through revenues of the BIAF line of business. We believe that net revenue, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted EPS from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA are useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the Company’s operating results and understanding the Company’s operating trends by excluding or adding back the effects of the items described above, the inclusion or exclusion of which can obscure underlying trends. Additionally, management uses net revenue, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted EPS from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA in its own evaluation of the Company’s performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods, and believes these measures are useful for investors because they facilitate a comparison of our financial results from period to period.
The Company provides non-GAAP measures to supplement U.S. GAAP measures, as they provide additional insight into the Company’s financial results. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation and are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the ability of investors to compare non-GAAP measures of the Company to those used by our peer companies.

11


The following tables reconcile the components and values of U.S. GAAP revenue, net earnings from continuing operations, EPS from continuing operations to the corresponding "adjusted" amounts. For the comparable periods presented below, such adjustments consist of amounts incurred in connection with the items described above. Amounts are shown in thousands, except for per-share data (note: earnings per share amounts may not add across due to rounding). Reconciliation of the adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full fiscal year to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict with sufficient certainty all the components required to provide such reconciliation.
