Parsons Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. | Description of Operations

Organization

Parsons Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a leading provider of technology-driven solutions in the defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure markets. We provide software and hardware products, technical services and integrated solutions to support our customers’ missions. We have developed significant expertise and differentiated capabilities in key areas of cybersecurity, intelligence, missile defense, C5ISR, space, geospatial, and connected communities. By combining our talented team of professionals and advanced technology, we help solve complex technical challenges to enable a safer, smarter and more interconnected world.

Initial Public Offering

On May 8, 2019, the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) whereby the Company sold 18,518,500 shares of common stock for $27.00 per share. The underwriters exercised their option on May 14, 2019 to purchase an additional 2,777,775 shares at the net price of $25.515 which was the IPO share price of $27.00 less the underwriting discount of $1.485 per share. The net proceeds of the IPO and the underwriters’ option were $536.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other fees, and were used to fund an IPO dividend of $52.1 million, repay the outstanding balance of $150.0 million under our Term Loan, and repay outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Stock Dividend

On April 15, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a common stock dividend in a ratio of two shares of common stock for every one share of common stock presently held by the Company’s stockholder (the “Stock Dividend”). The record date of this common Stock Dividend was May 7, 2019, the day immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO on May 8, 2019, and the payment date of the Stock Dividend was May 8, 2019. Purchasers of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s public offering were not entitled to receive any portion of the Stock Dividend.

2. | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or for future years.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Parsons Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates with it controls. Interests in joint ventures that are controlled by the Company, or for which the Company is otherwise deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are consolidated. For joint ventures in which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but exerts a significant influence, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. (see “Note 14 – Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures" for further discussion). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

7

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve revenue recognition with respect to the determination of the costs to complete contracts and transaction price; determination of self-insurance reserves; useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions, among others. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Polices” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a discussion of the significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements. Estimates of costs to complete contracts are continually evaluated as work progresses and are revised when necessary. When a change in estimate is determined to have an impact on contract profit, the Company records a positive or negative adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, initial purchases of the Company’s common Stock were made under the Parsons Employee Stock Purchase Program (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, eligible employees who elect to participate are granted the right to purchase shares of the common stock of Parsons at a discount that is limited to 5% of the per-share market value on the day shares are sold to employees. Purchases of common stock under the ESPP are included in “proceeds from issuance of common stock” in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

3. | New Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in ASU 2016-13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current practice with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 was issued as a means to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes for those entities that fall within the scope of the standard. The guidance is to be applied using a prospective method, excluding amendments related to franchise taxes, which should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. | Acquisitions

Revisions in estimates, such as changes in estimated claims or incentives, related to performance obligations partially satisfied in previous periods that individually had an impact of $5 million or more on revenue resulted in an increase in revenue of $9.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and no amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Billed |  | $ | 487,654 |  |  | $ | 475,528 |
Unbilled |  |  | 235,245 |  |  |  | 201,461 |
Total accounts receivable, gross |  |  | 722,899 |  |  |  | 676,989 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |  |  | (5,541 | ) |  |  | (5,497 | )
Total accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 717,358 |  |  | $ | 671,492 |

Billed accounts receivable represents amounts billed to clients that have not been collected. Unbilled accounts receivable represents amounts where the Company has a present contractual right to bill but an invoice has not been issued to the customer at the period-end date.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, we have modified the historical presentation of gross receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect only expected credit losses in the allowance in conformity with the current period presentation.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was determined based on consideration of trends in actual and forecasted credit quality of clients, including delinquency and payment history, type of client, such as a government agency or commercial sector client, and general economic conditions and particular industry conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. COVID-19 Impacts: We have not seen and do not expect there to be a risk of non-payment from either our government agency or commercial customers. We have experienced payment delays due to administrative limitations from both types of customers.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO”) as of June 30, 2020 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in-progress. The Company had $5.0 billion in RUPO as of June 30, 2020.

RUPO will increase with awards of new contracts and decrease as the Company performs work and recognizes revenue on existing contracts. Projects are included within RUPO at such time the project is awarded and agreement on contract terms has been reached. The difference between RUPO and backlog relates to unexercised option years that are included within backlog and the value of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts included in backlog for which delivery orders have not been issued.

RUPO is comprised of: (a) original transaction price, (b) change orders for which written confirmations from our customers have been received, (c) pending change orders for which the Company expects to receive confirmations in the ordinary course of business, and (d) claim amounts that the Company has made against customers for which it has determined that it has a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and a significant reversal of revenue is not probable, less revenue recognized to-date.

The ultimate impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to predict. While many uncertainties exist, we currently anticipate no material change in our financial condition or results of operations. Although the Company does not anticipate a material change to our financial condition or results of operations, the Company performed a qualitative triggering analysis and determined there was no triggering event indicating a potential impairment to the carrying value of its goodwill at June 30, 2020 and concluded there has not been an impairment.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $9.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively, and $19.4 million and $19.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

1 0. | Debt and Credit Facilities

Debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

Long-Term: |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Senior notes |  |  | 250,000 |  |  |  | 250,000 |
Debt issuance costs |  |  | (552 | ) |  |  | (647 | )
Total long-term |  | $ | 249,448 |  |  | $ | 249,353 |

In November 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement. The Company incurred $2.0 million of costs in connection with this amendment. Under the agreement, the Company’s revolving credit facility was increased from $500 million to $550 million and the term of the agreement was extended through November 2022. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin, or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans is a range of 0.125% to 1.00% and the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is a range of 1.125% to 2.00%, both based on the leverage ratio of the Company at the end of each fiscal quarter. The rates at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 1.42% and 3.02%, respectively. Borrowings under this Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s operating subsidiaries. Letters of credit commitments outstanding under this agreement aggregated to $44.9 million and $43.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which reduced borrowing limits available to the Company. Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. There were no loan amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2020.

On July 1, 2014, the Company finalized a private placement whereby the Company raised an aggregate amount of $250.0 million in debt as follows (in thousands):

Tranche |  | Debt Amount |  |  | Maturity Date |  | Interest Rates |
Senior Note, Series A |  | $ | 50,000 |  |  | July 15, 2021 |  |  | 4.44 | %
Senior Note, Series B |  |  | 100,000 |  |  | July 15, 2024 |  |  | 4.98 | %
Senior Note, Series C |  |  | 60,000 |  |  | July 15, 2026 |  |  | 5.13 | %
Senior Note, Series D |  |  | 40,000 |  |  | July 15, 2029 |  |  | 5.38 | %

The Company incurred $1.1 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the private placement. On August 10, 2018, the Company finalized an amended and restated intercreditor agreement related to this private placement to more closely align certain covenants and definitions with the terms under the 2017 amended and restated Credit Agreement and incurred $0.5 million of additional issuance costs. These costs are presented as a direct deduction from the debt on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense related to the Senior Notes for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $3.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense are recorded in “Interest expense” on the consolidated statements of income. The Company made interest payments related to the Senior Notes for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 of $0 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Interest payable of $5.6 million and $5.7 million is recorded in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to the Senior Notes.

16

The Credit Agreement and private placement includes various covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions, investments or dispositions, payment of dividends and maintenance of certain financial ratios and conditions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 20 20 and December 31, 2019.

The Company also has in place several secondary bank credit lines for issuing letters of credit, principally for foreign contracts, to support performance and completion guarantees. Letters of credit commitments outstanding under these bank lines aggregated $186.6 million and $197.3 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile, the Company estimated the fair value (Level 2) of its senior notes at June 30, 2020 approximates $272.2 million. See “Note 16 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for the definition of Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In January 2019, the Company borrowed $150.0 million under our Term Loan Agreement to partially finance the OGSystems acquisition. On May 10, 2019, the Company used proceeds from its May 8, 2019 IPO to repay the $150.0 million outstanding balance under the Term Loan and this loan is now closed. Interest expense related to the Term Loan was $1.0 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding in fiscal 2020.

11. | Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits Net Operating Loss (“NOL“) carryovers to offset 100% of taxable income for tax years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding tax years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. The CARES Act also accelerates the refund of alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits that were previously accumulated. The Company does not expect that the modifications on the limitation of business interest or AMT credits would have any impact to the Company. Under the NOL carryback provision, the Company expects to carry back some of its NOLs relating to certain amounts associated with acquisitions which may be subject to certain shareholders’ claims.

On July 9, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department issued final tax regulations related to the foreign-derived intangible income and global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions. Also, on July 20, 2020 the U.S. Treasury Department released final tax regulations permitting a taxpayer to elect to exclude from its GILTI inclusion items of income subject to a high effective rate of foreign tax. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new legislation to its consolidated financial statements but does not expect a material change of its income tax expense due to the new regulations.

Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company had elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter “S” of the Internal Revenue Code for federal tax purposes. As a result, income had not been subject to U.S. federal income taxes or state income taxes in those states where the “S” Corporation status is recognized. Therefore, previously, no provision or liability for federal or state income tax had been provided in the consolidated financial statements except for those states where the “S” Corporation status was not recognized, or where states imposed a tax on “S” Corporations. The provision for income tax in the historical periods prior to the IPO consists of these state taxes and taxes from certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company is subject to tax.

In connection with the Company’s IPO on May 8, 2019, the “S” Corporation status was terminated, and the Company is now treated as a “C” Corporation under the Code. The termination of the “S” Corporation election has had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows as reflected in the June 30, 2020 consolidated financial statements. The effective tax rate has increased, and net income has decreased as compared to the Company’s “S” Corporation tax years, since the Company is now subject to both U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes on its earnings.

17

The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.64% and 400.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was due primarily to nonrecurring tax items included in the second quarter 2019 income taxes associated with a $56 million tax benefit from the remeasurement of deferred taxes associated with the Company’s change in “S” Corporation to “C” Corporation status. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 27.17% and (2,686.95)%. The change in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the nonrecurring tax items included in 2019 for the remeasurement of deferred taxes associated with the change in tax status. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 primarily relates to state income taxes.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s deferred tax assets included a valuation allowance of $17.2 million primarily related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards, and capital losses that the Company has determined are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include: the past performance of the related entities, forecasts of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. The ability or failure to achieve the forecasted taxable income in these entities could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $14.6 million and $15.5 million, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the Company may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $1.7 million during the next twelve months as a result of concluding various tax audits and closing tax years. Although the Company believes its reserves for its tax positions are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits could be materially different, both favorably and unfavorably. It is reasonably possible that certain audits may conclude in the next 12 months and that the unrecognized tax benefits the Company has recorded in relation to these tax years may change compared to the liabilities recorded for these periods. However, it is not currently possible to estimate the amount, if any, of such change.

1 2. | Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain lawsuits, claims and assessments that arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injuries as a result of contact with asbestos products at various project sites. Management believes that any significant costs relating to these claims will be reimbursed by applicable insurance and, although there can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved favorably, management believes that the ultimate resolution of any of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. A liability is recorded when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When using a range of loss estimate, the Company records the liability using the low end of the range. The Company records a corresponding receivable for costs covered under its insurance policies. Management judgment is required to determine the outcome and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. Management believes that there are no claims or assessments outstanding which would materially affect the consolidated results of operations or the Company’s financial position.

On or about March 1, 2017, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, or the JPB, filed a lawsuit against Parsons Transportation Group, Inc., or PTG, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, in connection with a positive train control project on which PTG was engaged prior to termination of its contract by the JPB. PTG had previously filed a lawsuit against the JPB for breach of contract and wrongful termination. The JPB seeks damages in excess of $100.0 million, which the Company is currently disputing. In addition to filing a complaint for breach of contract and wrongful termination, the Company has denied the allegations raised by the JPB and, accordingly, filed affirmative defenses. The Company is currently defending against the JPB’s claims and the parties are still engaged in discovery. The Company also has a professional liability insurance policy to the extent the JPB proves any errors or omissions occurred. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the probability of the outcome of the litigation or determine a potential range of loss, if any. The Company has also filed a third-party claim against a subcontractor for indemnification in connection with this matter.

In September 2015, a former Parsons employee filed an action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama against us as a qui tam relator on behalf of the United States (the “Relator”) alleging violation of the False Claims Act. The United States government did not intervene in this matter as it is allowed to do so under the statute. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the Relator did not meet the applicable statute of limitations. The District Court granted the motion to dismiss. The Relator’s attorney appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals of the Eleventh Circuit, which ultimately ruled in favor of the Relator, and the Company petitioned the United States Supreme Court to review the decision. The Supreme Court reviewed the decision and accepted the

18

position of the R elator. The case was thus remanded to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The defendants, including Parsons, will file appropriate pleadings opposing the allegations. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the probability of the outcome of the litigation or determine a potential range of loss, if any.

On or about October 4, 2019, LBH Engineers, LLC (“LBH”) filed a lawsuit against Parsons, PTG, and various other parties in the US District Court of for the Northern District of Georgia, in connection with an alleged infringement of LBH’s patent. LBH seeks damages and costs incurred by LBH, a post-judgment royalty, treble damages if the infringement is found to be willful, among other damages, which the Company and the other defendants are currently disputing. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the probability of the outcome of the litigation or determine a potential range of loss, if any.

Federal government contracts are subject to audits, which are performed for the most part by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). Audits by the DCAA and other agencies consist of reviews of our overhead rates, operating systems and cost proposals to ensure that we account for such costs in accordance with the Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”). If the DCAA determines we have not accounted for such costs in accordance with the CAS, the DCAA may disallow these costs. The disallowance of such costs may result in a reduction of revenue and additional liability for the Company. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material disallowed costs as a result of government audits. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the DCAA or other government audits will not result in material disallowances for incurred costs in the future. All audits of costs incurred on work performed through 2010 have been closed, and years thereafter remain open.

Although there can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved favorably, management believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

1 3. | Retirement Benefit Plan

The Company’s principal retirement benefit plan is the Parsons Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), a stock bonus plan, established in 1975 to cover eligible employees of the Company and certain affiliated companies. Contributions of treasury stock to the ESOP are made annually in amounts determined by the Company’s board of directors and are held in trust for the sole benefit of the participants. Shares allocated to a participant’s account are fully vested after three years of credited service, or in the event(s) of reaching age 65, death or disability while an active employee of the Company. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total shares of the Company’s common stock were 100,724,683 and 100,669,694, respectively, of which 76,795,221 and 78,896,806, respectively, were held by the ESOP.

A participant’s interest in their ESOP account is redeemable upon certain events, including retirement, death, termination due to permanent disability, a severe financial hardship following termination of employment, certain conflicts of interest following termination of employment, or the exercise of diversification rights. Distributions from the ESOP of participants’ interests are made in the Company’s common stock based on quoted prices of a share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE. A participant will be able to sell such shares of common stock in the market, subject to any requirements of the federal securities laws.

Total ESOP contribution expense was $14.6 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, and $29.5 million and $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The expense is recorded in “Direct costs of contracts” and “Indirect, general and administrative expense” in the consolidated statements of income. The fiscal 2020 ESOP contribution has not yet been made. The amount is currently included in accrued liabilities.

On April 3, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a cash dividend to the Company’s sole existing shareholder at that time, the ESOP, in the amount of $2.00 per share, or $52.1 million in the aggregate (the “IPO Dividend”). The IPO Dividend was paid on May 10, 2019. On April 15, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a common stock dividend in a ratio of two shares of common stock for every one share of common stock then held by the Company’s shareholder (the “Stock Dividend”). The record date of the Stock Dividend was May 7, 2019, the day immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO on May 8, 2019, and the payment date of the Stock Dividend was May 8, 2019. Purchasers of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s public offering were not entitled to receive any portion of the Stock Dividend.

1 4. | Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

The Company participates in joint ventures to bid, negotiate and complete specific projects. The Company is required to consolidate these joint ventures if it holds the majority voting interest or if the Company meets the criteria under the consolidation model, as described below.

The Company performs an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give the Company a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and should, therefore, be consolidated. Such analysis requires the Company to assess whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company analyzed all of its joint ventures and classified them into two groups: (1) joint ventures that must be consolidated because they are either not VIEs and the Company holds the majority voting interest, or because they are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary; and (2) joint ventures that do not need to be consolidated because they are either not VIEs and the Company holds a minority voting interest, or because they are VIEs and the Company is not the primary beneficiary.

Many of the Company’s joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary; however, such funding is infrequent and is not anticipated to be material.

Letters of credit outstanding described in “Note 10 – Debt and Credit Facilities” that relate to project ventures are $65.7 million and $55.0 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In the table below, aggregated financial information relating to the Company’s joint ventures is provided because their nature, risk and reward characteristics are similar. None of the Company’s current joint ventures that meet the characteristics of a VIE are individually significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for its unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the net earnings of these joint ventures as “Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures” in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding commitments.

The following represents the financial information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures as presented in their unaudited financial statements (in thousands):

1 6. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an “exit price”). At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities.

21

Investments measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

| • | Market approach—Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;

| • | Cost approach—Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (i.e., replacement cost); and

| • | Income approach—Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing models and lattice models).

In addition, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities;

| Level 2 | Pricing inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument; and

| Level 3 | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurements and unobservable.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a more complete discussion of the various items within the consolidated financial statements measured at fair value and the methods used to determine fair value.

1 7. | Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the denominator used to compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and income available to shareholders. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effects of equity-based awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 4,939 shares and 4,066 shares, respectively, excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted EPS as their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted EPS were:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |

18. | Segment Information

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure.

The Federal Solutions segment provides advanced technical solutions to the U.S. government, delivering timely, cost-effective hardware, software and services for mission-critical projects. The segment provides advanced technologies,

22

supporting national security missions in cybersecurity, missile defense, and military facility modernization, logistics support, hazardous material remediation and engineering services.

The Critical Infrastructure segment provides integrated engineering and management services for complex physical and digital infrastructure around the globe. The Critical Infrastructure segment is a technology innovator focused on next generation digital systems and complex structures. Industry leading capabilities in engineering and project management allow the Company to deliver significant value to customers by employing cutting-edge technologies, improving timelines and reducing costs.

The Company defines its reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of each segment and manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources among the segments. The CODM evaluates segment operating performance using segment Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation.

The following table summarizes business segment revenue for the periods presented (in thousands):

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company made changes to its business lines as described below. The prior year information in the table above has been reclassified to conform to the business line changes.

Federal Solutions Business Line Changes

As a result of the acquisitions of Polaris Alpha, OGSystems and QRC, we realigned the five business lines within our Federal Solutions segment into four business lines. We consolidated all space and geospatial programs from the former Geospatial Solutions, Defense and Cyber & Intelligence markets into a new Space & Geospatial Solutions business line to increase focus on the critical, evolving space market. This new business line better aligns capabilities and customers to drive growth and performance execution through improved agile, end-to-end solutions and dedicated customer focus.

Further, we re-named our Defense business line to Missile Defense & C5ISR. We moved our Missions Solutions business line into our Missile Defense & C5ISR, Engineered Systems and Cyber & Intelligence business lines, for better

24

customer and capability alignment. These changes were the next logical step in our acquisition integration process, to optimize performance delivery and growth.

Critical Infrastructure Business Line Changes

We re-aligned our Critical Infrastructure segment from three markets to two markets. Industrial is now a part of Mobility Solutions and we moved all Middle East business into Mobility Solutions as well. We believe this will drive improved synergies among like-markets and increased collaboration in areas such as program and engineering management, civil and structural and water/wastewater treatment. We also moved Aviation to Connected Communities and consolidated the civil portion of rail and transit with the systems portion of rail and transit into a consolidated sub-market within Connected Communities to focus on growth in these critical market segments. In each, we are pursuing systems, software and hardware product advanced technology opportunities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help investors understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We undertake no obligation to revise publicly any forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken certain actions to continue to execute under our contracts with customers and allow our people to work safely. A substantial majority of our work-force transitioned to work-from-home status during the latter part of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and these practices remain in effect as of the date of this filing. To date, we have experienced no material disruption in our work as a consequence of these changes in our work practices.

The Company has experienced an impact in the volume of work in both the Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure segments where customers have restricted access to certain project sites. We have not seen any substantive cancellations of previously awarded contracts. In the Federal Solutions segment, we have had some existing contracts extended. We continue to see several potential contract awards pushed out to a future date.

The Company is receiving limited benefits associated with the CARES Act related to its work on certain US national security projects; however, the curtailment of work under these projects and the CARES Act benefits are not likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

The Company has provided additional disclosure around liquidity and capital resources which can be found in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q.

The Company anticipates substantially all of the Company’s subcontractors and material suppliers will be able to fulfill their contractual obligations and we do not expect a material impact from non-performance.

The ultimate impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to predict. While many uncertainties exist, we currently anticipate no material change in our financial condition or results of operations.

Overview

We are a leading disruptive technology provider in the global defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure markets. We provide software and hardware products, technical services and integrated solutions to support our customers’ missions. We have developed significant expertise and differentiated capabilities in key areas of cybersecurity, intelligence, missile defense, C5ISR, space, geospatial, and connected communities. By combining our talented team of professionals and advanced technology, we help solve complex technical challenges to enable a safer, smarter and more interconnected world.

We operate in two reporting segments, Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure. Our Federal Solutions business provides advanced technical solutions to the U.S. government. Our Critical Infrastructure business provides integrated engineering and management services for complex physical and digital infrastructure to state and local governments and large companies.

Our employees provide services pursuant to contracts that we are awarded by the customer and specific task orders relating to such contracts. These contracts are often multi-year, which provides us backlog and visibility on our revenues for future periods. Many of our contracts and task orders are subject to renewal and rebidding at the end of their term, and some are subject to the exercise of contract options and issuance of task orders by the applicable government entity. In addition to focusing on increasing our revenues through increased contract awards and backlog, we focus our financial performance on margin expansion and cash flow.

Key Metrics

We manage and assess the performance of our business by evaluating a variety of metrics. The following table sets forth selected key metrics (in thousands, except Book-to-Bill):

|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Awards (year to date) |  | $ | 1,971,186 |  |  | $ | 2,199,210 |
Backlog (1) |  | $ | 7,718,690 |  |  | $ | 8,500,954 |
Book-to-Bill (year to date) |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.2 |

27

(1) | Difference between our backlog of $7.7 billion and our remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, or RUPO, of $5.0 billion, each as of June 30, 2020, is due to (i) unissued delivery orders and unexercised option years, to the extent their issuance or exercise is probable, as well as (ii) contract awards, to the extent we believe contract execution and funding is probable.

Awards

Awards generally represent the amount of revenue expected to be earned in the future from funded and unfunded contract awards received during the period. Contract awards include both new and re-compete contracts and task orders. Given that new contract awards generate growth, we closely track our new awards each year.

The following table summarizes the year to-date value of new awards for the periods presented below (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Federal Solutions |  | $ | 433,140 |  |  | $ | 422,829 |  |  | $ | 1,048,830 |  |  | $ | 1,231,369 |
Critical Infrastructure |  |  | 571,951 |  |  |  | 555,313 |  |  |  | 922,356 |  |  |  | 967,841 |
Total Awards |  | $ | 1,005,091 |  |  | $ | 978,142 |  |  | $ | 1,971,186 |  |  | $ | 2,199,210 |

The change in new awards from year to year is primarily due to ordinary course fluctuations in our business. The volume of contract awards can fluctuate in any given period due to win rate and the timing and size of the awards issued by our customers. The change in new awards in our Federal Solutions segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year was impacted by two significant contracts awarded in the first quarter of 2019. The awards in Critical Infrastructure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, were impacted by potential awards being pushed out to a future date.

Backlog

We define backlog to include the following two components:

| • | Funded—Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.

| • | Unfunded—Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.

Backlog includes (i) unissued task orders and unexercised option years, to the extent their issuance or exercise is probable, as well as (ii) contract awards, to the extent we believe contract execution and funding is probable.

The following table summarizes the value of our backlog at the respective dates presented below: (in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Federal Solutions: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

| (1) | As presented in the first quarter of 2019, funded backlog for the Critical Infrastructure segment was overstated by $38.3 million with a corresponding understatement in unfunded backlog. There was no impact on total Critical Infrastructure backlog or total backlog for Parsons Corporation.

| (2) | Difference between our backlog of $7.7 billion and our RUPO of $5.0 billion, each as of June 30, 2020, is due to (i) unissued task orders and unexercised option years, to the extent their issuance or exercise is probable, as well as (ii) contract awards, to the extent we believe contract execution and funding is probable.

Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. For example, the U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our U.S. federal government customers on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years to complete. As a result, our federal contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term. All or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

We expect to recognize $2.8 billion of our funded backlog at June 30, 2020 as revenues in the following twelve months. However, our U.S. federal government customers may cancel their contracts with us at any time through a termination for convenience or may elect to not exercise option periods under such contracts. In the case of a termination for convenience, we would not receive anticipated future revenues, but would generally be permitted to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and fees for work performed. See “Risk Factors—Risk Relating to Our Business—We may not realize the full value of our backlog, which may result in lower than expected revenue” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The changes in backlog in both the Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure segments were primarily from ordinary course fluctuations in our business and the impacts related to the Company’s awards discussed above.

Book-to-Bill

Book-to-bill is the ratio of total awards to total revenue recorded in the same period. Our management believes our book-to-bill ratio is a useful indicator of our potential future revenue growth in that it measures the rate at which we are generating new awards compared to the Company’s current revenue. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of awards in a given period to exceed the revenue booked. A book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0 indicates that awards generated in a given period exceeded the revenue recognized in the same period, while a book-to-bill ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that awards generated in such period were less than the revenue recognized in such period. The following table sets forth the book-to-bill ratio for the periods presented below:

|  | Three months ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Federal Solutions |  |  | 0.9 |  |  |  | 0.9 |  |  |  | 1.1 |  |  |  | 1.4 |
Critical Infrastructure |  |  | 1.2 |  |  |  | 1.1 |  |  |  | 0.9 |  |  |  | 1.0 |
Overall |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.2 |

Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that the financial performance of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors, including those highlighted in this section. Our operating performance will depend upon many variables, including the success of our growth strategies and the timing and size of investments and expenditures that we choose to undertake, as well as market growth and other factors that are not within our control.

Government Spending

Changes in the relative mix of government spending and areas of spending growth, with shifts in priorities on homeland security, intelligence, defense-related programs, infrastructure and urbanization, and continued increased spending on technology and innovation, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, connected communities and physical infrastructure, could impact our business and results of operations. Cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget restrictions, spending cuts and other efforts to reduce government spending could cause our government customers to reduce or delay funding or invest appropriated funds on a less consistent basis or not at all, and demand for our solutions or services could diminish. Furthermore, any disruption in the functioning of government agencies, including as a result of government closures and shutdowns, could have a negative impact on our operations and cause us to lose revenue or incur additional costs due to, among other things, our inability to deploy our staff to customer locations or facilities as a result of such disruptions.

29

Federal Budget Uncertainty

There is uncertainty around the timing, extent, nature and effect of Congressional and other U.S. government actions to address budgetary constraints, caps on the discretionary budget for defense and non-defense departments and agencies, and the ability of Congress to determine how to allocate the available budget authority and pass appropriations bills to fund both U.S. government departments and agencies that are, and those that are not, subject to the caps. Additionally, budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt increase pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies, with uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions. Furthermore, delays in the completion of future U.S. government budgets could in the future delay procurement of the federal government services we provide. A reduction in the amount of, or delays, or cancellations of funding for, services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government as a result of any of these impacts or related initiatives, legislation or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Regulations

Increased audit, review, investigation and general scrutiny by government agencies of performance under government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws could affect our operating results. Negative publicity and increased scrutiny of government contractors in general, including us, relating to government expenditures for contractor services and incidents involving the mishandling of sensitive or classified information, as well as the increasingly complex requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. intelligence community, including those related to cybersecurity, could impact our ability to perform in the markets we serve.

Competitive Markets

The industries we operate in consist of a large number of enterprises ranging from small, niche-oriented companies to multi-billion dollar corporations that serve many government and commercial customers. We compete on the basis of our technical expertise, technological innovation, our ability to deliver cost-effective multi-faceted services in a timely manner, our reputation and relationships with our customers, qualified and/or security-clearance personnel, and pricing. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the markets in which we operate because of our proven track record, long-term customer relationships, technology innovation, scalable and agile business offerings and world class talent. Our ability to effectively deliver on project engagements and successfully assist our customers affects our ability to win new contracts and drives our financial performance.

Acquired Operations

QRC Technologies

On July 31, 2019, the Company acquired QRC Technologies for $214.1 million. QRC Technologies provides design and development of open-architecture radio-frequency products. The acquisition was funded by cash on-hand and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. The financial results of QRC Technologies have been included in our consolidated results of operations from July 31, 2019 onward.

Seasonality

Our results may be affected by variances as a result of seasonality we experience across our businesses. This pattern is typically driven by the U.S. federal government fiscal year-end, September 30. While not certain, it is not uncommon for U.S. government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of the U.S. federal government fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. In addition, we have also historically experienced higher bid and proposal costs in the months leading up to the U.S. federal government fiscal year-end as we pursue new contract opportunities expected to be awarded early in the following U.S. federal government fiscal year as a result of funding appropriated for that U.S. federal government fiscal year. Furthermore, many U.S. state governments with fiscal years ending on June 30 tend to accelerate spending during their first quarter, when new funding becomes available. We may continue to experience this seasonality in future periods, and our results of operations may be affected by it.

Taxes

Historically, the Company had elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter “S” of the Internal Revenue Code for federal tax purposes. As a result, the Company’s income had not been subject to U.S. federal income taxes or state income taxes in those states where the “S” Corporation status was recognized. No provision or liability for federal or

30

state income tax had been provided in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, prior to the IPO on May 8, 2019, except for those states where the “S” Corporation status was not recognized or where states imposed a tax on “S” Corporations. The provision for income tax in the historical periods prior to the IPO consists of these state taxes and from certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company is subject to tax.

In connection with the IPO, the Company’s “S” Corporation status terminated, and the Company is now treated as a “C” Corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code. The revocation of the Company’s “S” Corporation election had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The effective tax rate has increased, and net income has decreased as compared to the Company’s “S” Corporation tax years, since the Company is now subject to both U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes on its earnings.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of both services provided by our employees and pass-through fees from subcontractors and other direct costs. Our Federal Solutions segment derives revenue primarily from the U.S. federal government and our Critical Infrastructure segment derives revenue primarily from government and commercial customers.

We recognize revenue for work performed under cost-plus, time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts as follows:

Under cost-plus contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined costs incurred, plus a fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness, safety and cost-effectiveness. In addition, costs are generally subject to review by clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract.

Under time-and-materials contracts, hourly billing rates are negotiated and charged to clients based on the actual time spent on a project. In addition, clients reimburse actual out-of-pocket costs for other direct costs and expenses that are incurred in connection with the performance under the contract.

Under fixed-price contracts, clients pay an agreed fixed-amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work.

Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Polices” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a description of our policies on revenue recognition.

The table below presents the percentage of total revenue for each type of contract.

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Fixed-price |  | 31.8% |  |  | 30.8% |  |  | 31.8% |  |  | 29.7% |
Time-and-materials |  | 26.5% |  |  | 27.2% |  |  | 26.2% |  |  | 27.7% |
Cost-plus |  | 41.7% |  |  | 42.0% |  |  | 42.0% |  |  | 42.6% |

The amount of risk and potential reward varies under each type of contract. Under cost-plus contracts, there is limited financial risk, because we are reimbursed for all allowable costs up to a ceiling. However, profit margins on this type of contract tend to be lower than on time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for the hours worked using the predetermined hourly rates for each labor category. In addition, we are typically reimbursed for other direct contract costs and expenses at cost. We assume financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our labor costs may exceed the negotiated billing rates. Profit margins on well-managed time-and-materials contracts tend to be higher than profit margins on cost-plus contracts as long as we are able to staff those contracts with people who have an appropriate skill set. Under fixed-price contracts, we are required to deliver the objectives under the contract for a pre-determined price. Compared to time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts, fixed-price contracts generally offer higher profit margin opportunities because we receive the full benefit of any cost savings, but they also generally involve greater financial risk because we bear the risk of any cost overruns. In the aggregate, the contract type mix in our revenue for any given period will affect that period’s profitability. Over time, we have experienced a relatively stable contract mix.

31

Our recognition of profit on long-term contracts requires the use of assumptions related to transaction price and total cost of completion. Estimates are continually evaluated as work progresses and are revised when necessary. When a change in estimate d cost or transaction price is determined to have an impact on contract profit, we record a positive or negative adjustment to revenue.

Joint Ventures

We conduct a portion of our business through joint ventures or similar partnership arrangements. For the joint ventures we control, we consolidate all the revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of income (including revenues and expenses attributable to noncontrolling interests). For the joint ventures we do not control, we recognize equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures. Our revenues included amounts related to services we provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 of $42.4 million and $50.7 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 of $82.8 million and $84.3 million, respectively.

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses primarily include direct costs of contracts and indirect, general and administrative expenses. Costs associated with compensation-related expenses for our people and facilities, which includes ESOP contribution expenses, are the most significant component of our operating expenses. Total ESOP contribution expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $14.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $29.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively and is recorded in “Direct cost of contracts” and “Indirect, general and administrative expenses.” We expect operating expenses to increase due to our anticipated growth and the incremental costs associated with being a public company.

Direct costs of contracts consist of direct labor and associated fringe benefits, indirect overhead, subcontractor and materials (“pass-through costs”), travel expenses and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts.

Indirect, general and administrative expenses (“IG&A”) include salaries and wages and fringe benefits of our employees not performing work directly for customers, facility costs and other costs related to these indirect functions.

Other income and expenses

Other income and expenses primarily consist of interest income, interest expense, other income, net and interest and other expense associated with claims on long-term contracts.

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on U.S. government money market funds.

Interest expense consists of interest expense incurred under our Senior Notes and Credit Agreement.

Other income, net primarily consists of gain or loss on sale of assets, sublease income and transaction gain or loss related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

(b) | Reflects costs associated with our corporate restructuring initiatives.

(c) | Includes a combination of gain/loss related to sale of fixed assets, software implementation costs, and other individually insignificant items that are non-recurring in nature.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating performance used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance both on a segment and on a consolidated basis. We discuss Adjusted EBITDA because our management uses this measure for business planning purposes, including to manage the business against internal projected results of operations and measure the performance of the business generally. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of our financial performance or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Parsons Corporation, adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, among other things, impairment of goodwill, intangible and other assets, interest and other expenses recognized on litigation matters, amortization of deferred gain resulting from sale-leaseback transactions, expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions and other non-recurring transaction costs and expenses related to our corporate restructuring initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally. Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

Revenue decreased $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year, primarily due to a decrease in revenue in our Critical Infrastructure segment of $14.0 million offset by an increase in our Federal Solutions segment of $3.7 million. Revenue increased $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year, primarily due to an increase in revenue in our Federal Solutions segment of $58.5 million offset by a decrease in our Critical Infrastructure segment of $2.2 million.

Direct cost of contracts decreased $35.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year, primarily due to a decrease of $26.8 million in our Critical Infrastructure segment and a decrease of $8.6 million in our Federal Solutions segment. The decrease in our Critical Infrastructure segment was primarily due to programs with high levels of pass-through costs reaching substantial completion. The decrease in our Federal Solutions segment was primarily due to a decrease in business volume driven by a reduction in pass-through costs.

Direct cost of contracts increased $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year, primarily due to an increase of $41.0 million in our Federal Solutions segment offset by a decrease of $21.0 million in our Critical Infrastructure segment. The increase in our Federal Solutions segment was primarily from increased pass-through costs. The decrease in our Critical Infrastructure segment was primarily due to programs with high levels of pass-through costs reaching substantial completion.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $7.9 million and $12.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods last year primarily related to reduced margins in certain joint ventures as well as a reduction in activity on a significant joint venture that is substantially complete.

Indirect, general and administrative expenses

Indirect, general and administrative expenses (“IG&A”) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 include $12.9 million and $43.3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 include $5.1 million and $47.2 million, respectively, of compensation cost related to equity-based awards.

Equity awards issued prior to the Company’s IPO settle in cash and are remeasured to an updated fair value at each reporting period until the award is settled. Compensation cost is trued-up at each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered. Prior to the IPO on May 8, 2019, the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock was established by the ESOP trustee. See “Note 19 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a further discussion of how a share of the Company’s common stock was valued prior to the IPO. Subsequent to the IPO, the share price of the Company’s common stock is based on quoted prices on the New York Stock Exchange.

Excluding the compensation costs discussed above, IG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $174.8 million and $182.0 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $366.3 million and $355.7 million, respectively

35

The decrease in IG&A of $7.2 million, exclusive of equity compensation cost, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year was primarily due to a $8.6 million reduction in transaction-related, restructuring and other non-recurring costs, $4.3 million due to a tax law change, and $4.3 million from various overhead adjustments which occurred in second quarter 2019, but did not recur in the second quarter 2020. These decreases were offset by additional expenses of $8.5 million associated with business acquisition s and $1.5 million related to strategic growth initiatives and public company operating costs.

The increase in IG&A of $10.6 million, exclusive of equity compensation cost, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the corresponding period last year was primarily due to additional expenses of $16.7 million associated with business acquisitions, $3.7 million due to a tax law change, and $5.0 million related to strategic growth initiatives and public company operating costs. These increases were partially offset by a $14.8 million reduction in transaction-related, restructuring and other non-recurring costs.

Interest income is related to interest earned on cash balances held. Interest expense is primarily due to debt related to our business acquisitions. The amounts in other income (expense), net are primarily related to transaction gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and sublease income.

As described in “Note 11 – Income Taxes,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in connection with the Company’s IPO on May 8, 2019, the Company converted from an “S” Corporation to a “C” Corporation. On a pro forma basis, if the Company had been taxed as a “C” Corporation for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019, the pro forma effective tax rate would have been 8.36% and 190.71%, respectively, and the pro forma income tax expense would have been $(1.1) million and $3.7 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.64% and 27.17% and income tax expense was $11.9 million and $17.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the change in the effective tax rate relate to a nonrecurring item included in the second quarter 2019 associated with equity compensation and a change in jurisdictional earnings. The difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 primarily relates to state income taxes.

The termination of the “S” Corporation status was treated as a change in tax status for Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. These rules require that the deferred tax effects of a change in tax status to be recorded to income from continuing operations on the date the “S” Corporation status terminates. At the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company had recorded $56 million for the estimated effect of the change in tax status, relating to the recognition of net deferred tax assets for temporary differences in existence on the date of conversion to a “C” Corporation. This estimated amount is subject to additional revision upon filing of the 2019 tax returns.

Segment Results

We evaluate segment operating performance using segment revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation is Adjusted EBITDA excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Presented above, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, is a discussion of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, how we use this metric, why we present this metric and the material limitations on the usefulness of this metric. See “Note 18—Segments Information” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding our segment Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation.

The following table shows Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation for each of our reportable segments and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests:

The increase in Federal Solutions revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding periods last year was primarily due to an increase in business volume from new and existing contracts and an increase in incentive fees. These increases were partially offset by a delay in revenue from certain programs where work is delayed as a result of COVID-19.

The increase in Federal Solutions Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding period last year was primarily due to generally higher profit margins driven by an increase in incentive fee recognition and a decrease in volume on contracts with pass-through costs.

The increase in Federal Solutions Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding period last year was primarily due to generally higher profit margins driven by an increase in incentive fees and an increase in business volume from new awards and business acquisitions. Offsetting the increase in Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation was an increase in volume on contracts with pass-through costs and an increase in IG&A from business acquisitions and corporate allocated costs. IG&A, in the first quarter of 2019, included various positive overhead adjustments that did not recur in the first quarter of 2020.

The de crease in Critical Infrastructure revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding period s last year was primarily due to a delay in revenue from certain programs where work is delayed as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by an increase in business volume under new and existing contracts.

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation in Critical Infrastructure for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures partially offset by improved project margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures and satisfied redemptions of ESOP interests through a combination of internally generated cash from operations, our Senior Notes and from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Generally, cash provided by operating activities has been adequate to fund our operations. Due to fluctuations in our cash flows and growth in our operations, it may be necessary from time to time in the future to borrow under our Credit Agreement to meet cash demands. Our management regularly monitors certain liquidity measures to monitor performance. We calculate our available liquidity as a sum of cash and cash equivalents from our consolidated balance sheet plus the amount available and unutilized on our Credit Agreement.

There are likely to be certain impacts in our ability to collect accounts receivable as a result of the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Accounts receivable reflect amounts due from both commercial and government customers. Our commercial customers are comprised principally of large, well-known and well-established companies. Our government customers are comprised principally of national, state and local agencies in the U.S. and Middle East. We have not seen and do not expect there to be a risk of non-payment from either our government agency or commercial customers. We have experienced payment delays due to administrative limitations from both types of customers.

As of June 30, 2020, we believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations, support our debt service and support our ongoing acquisition strategy for at least the next twelve months based on the liquidity from cash provided by our operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on-hand and our borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, which totals $505.1 million as of June 30, 2020. We do not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic related economic impacts will impair the Company’s ability to continue to maintain compliance with its debt covenants or access available borrowing capacity from our banks.

Cash Flows

Cash received from customers, either from the payment of invoices for work performed or for advances in excess of revenue recognized, is our primary source of cash. We generally do not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the customers. Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on a number of factors, including whether the contract type is cost-plus, time-and-materials, or fixed-price. We generally bill and collect cash more frequently under cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts, as we are authorized to bill as the costs are incurred or work is performed. In contrast, we may be limited to bill certain fixed-price contracts only when specified milestones, including deliveries, are achieved. A number of our contracts may provide for performance-based payments, which allow us to bill and collect cash prior to completing the work.

Accounts receivable is the principal component of our working capital and is generally driven by revenue growth. Accounts receivable reflects amounts billed to our clients as of each balance sheet date and receivable amounts that are currently due but unbilled. The total amount of our accounts receivable can vary significantly over time, but is generally sensitive to revenue levels. Net days sales outstanding, which we refer to as net DSO, is calculated by dividing (i) (accounts receivable plus contract assets) less (contract liabilities plus accounts payable) by (ii) average revenue per day (calculated by dividing trailing twelve months revenue by the number of days in that period). We focus on collecting outstanding receivables to reduce Net DSO and working capital. Net DSO was 69 days at June 30, 2020 and 65 days at June 30, 2019. In addition to the COVID-19 impacts discussed above, the increase in DSO was also impacted by certain administrative activities by a customer in the Federal Solutions segment which have delayed the payment of invoices.

38

Our working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $458.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $382.0 million at December 31, 201 9.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $58.8 million to $136.6 million at June 30, 2020 from $195.4 million at December 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash over the periods presented (in thousands):

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Net cash used in operating activities |  | $ | (31,444 | ) |  | $ | (48,495 | )
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (25,822 | ) |  |  | (312,208 | )
Net cash provided by financing activities |  |  | (847 | ) |  |  | 291,493 |

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | (58,754 | ) |  | $ | (69,812 | )

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for noncash items, such as: equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, contributions of treasury stock, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, and provisions for doubtful accounts. The timing between the conversion of our billed and unbilled receivables into cash from our customers and disbursements to our employees and vendors is the primary driver of changes in our working capital. Our operating cash flows are primarily affected by our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, our ability to manage our vendor payments and the overall profitability of our contracts.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $17.1 million to $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $48.5 million of cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in net cash used in operating activities is primarily from a $86.6 million increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items offset by a change of $48.7 million in other long-term liabilities, primarily driven by the payment of long-term employee incentives offset by the deferral of social security payroll taxes as described below and a $20.8 million increase in cash outflows from our working capital accounts (primarily from accrued expenses and contract liabilities offset by accounts receivable, net of contract assets and deferred income tax payments as described below).

Under the CARES Act, the Company had deferred $18.5 million in U.S. federal and certain state estimated 2020 income tax payments that were otherwise due during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and were due and paid by July 15, 2020. The CARES Act also provides for the deferral of employer’s share of social security payroll taxes due from the date of enactment through the end of 2020. The Company has deferred $14.5 million of social security taxes otherwise due from April 10, 2020 through the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and will continue to defer employer social security taxes otherwise due for the remaining of the calendar year 2020; one-half of which are due December 31, 2021 and the second-half which are due December 31, 2022.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities consists primarily of cash flows associated with capital expenditures and business acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $286.4 million to $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, when compared to $312.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the use of $287.5 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of OGSystems on January 7, 2019. The Company had no business acquisitions activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities is primarily associated with proceeds from debt, the repayment thereof, and distributions to noncontrolling interests.

The Company used $0.8 million in net cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 2020 compared to $291.5 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease in net cash provided by financing activities of $292.3 million. The change in cash flows from financing activities is primarily due to $537.3 million of IPO proceeds offset in part by net repayments of borrowings of $180 million and a dividend payment

39

of $52.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to no amounts related to these financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Letters of Credit

We also have in place several secondary bank credit lines for issuing letters of credit, principally for foreign contracts, to support performance and completion guarantees. Letters of credit commitments outstanding under these bank lines aggregated $186.6 million as of June 30, 2020, including $44.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2020 are $231.4 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See the information set forth in “Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2020, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risks related to the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin, or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans is a range of 0.125% to 1.00% and the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is a range of 1.125% to 2.00%, both based on the leverage ratio of the Company at the end of each fiscal quarter. The rates at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 1.42% and 3.02%, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from our operations outside of the U.S. We limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations in most of our contracts through provisions that require client payments in currencies corresponding to the currency in which costs are incurred. As a result of this natural hedge, we generally do not need to hedge foreign currency cash flows for contract work performed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

Our management carried out, as of June 30, 2020, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020 , our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2020, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information required by this Item 1 is included in “Note 12 – Contingencies” included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from our Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than as set forth below. See also our updates for the COVID-19 pandemic included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price can be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price can be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19 which has spread from China to many other countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The outbreak has resulted in governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home" orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures, and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world have enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of COVID-19.

Although we have continued our operations consistent with federal guidelines and state and local orders, the outbreak of COVID-19 and any preventive or protective actions taken by governmental authorities may have a material adverse effect on our operations, employees and customers, including business shutdowns or disruptions. The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon the severity and duration of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Any resulting financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this time but may materially adversely affect our ability to collect accounts receivables and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, such as those relating to government spending and priorities.
