CHANTILLY, Va., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
CEO Commentary
"2025 was a successful year despite a dynamic federal government macroenvironment. We achieved double-digit revenue growth excluding our confidential contract, delivered record adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, exceeded our cash flow expectation, and secured fifteen contract wins valued at over $100 million for the full year, matching last year's record. These accomplishments validate the strength and resilience of our diversified portfolio. Additionally, we achieved high win rates, maintained strong hiring and record retention rates, were recognized as the number one program manager in the world by Engineering News-Record, and continued to efficiently deploy capital through three accretive acquisitions and increased share repurchases, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet," said Carey Smith, chair, president and chief executive officer.
"As we enter 2026, I could not be more excited about the ample opportunities we have to continue to grow our company and outpace industry growth rates. Our unique and synergistic Critical Infrastructure and Federal Solutions portfolio, which consists of six growing, profitable, and enduring end-markets, provides substantial tailwinds for us to meet or exceed our financial objectives and drive shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables under "Parsons Corporation Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" present Adjusted Net Income attributable to Parsons Corporation, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These financial measures are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Parsons has provided these Non-GAAP Measures to adjust for, among other things, the impact of amortization expenses related to our acquisitions, costs associated with a loss or gain on the disposal or sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring and related expenses, costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, software implementation costs, legal and settlement costs, and other costs considered non-operational in nature. These items have been Adjusted because they are not considered core to the company's business or otherwise not considered operational or because these charges are non-cash or non-recurring. The company presents these Non-GAAP Measures because management believes that they are meaningful to understanding Parsons's performance during the periods presented and the company's ongoing business. Non-GAAP Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and therefore are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled metrics or the financial results of other companies. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
1 Book-to-Bill ratio is calculated as total contract awards divided by total revenue for the period.
