Evidence signals

  • Revenue contracted

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -5.7% from the prior reported annual observation.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

"4. Acquisitions Altamira Technologies Corporation On January 14, 2026, the Company acquired a 100 % ownership interest in Altamira Technologies Corporation (""ATC""), a privately owned company, for approximately $ 339 million in cash and up to an additional $ 45 million in the event an earn out EBITDA target is exceeded. The Company borrowed $ 330.0 million under the Credit Agreement (as defined in ""Note 10 Debt and Credit Facilities"") to fund the acquisition. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, ATC enhances Parsons defense and intelligence portfolio by delivering advanced analytics, signals intelligence (SIGINT), cyber, missile warning, and space capabilities, complementing the Companys strengths in all-domain technology integration and Indo-Pacific operations, and expanding with intelligence community (IC) customers. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recognized $ 5 million of acquisition-related expenses in Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 , including legal fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous direct expenses associated with the acquisition. No acquisition-related expenses were recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

"12. Contingencies The Company is subject to certain lawsuits, claims and assessments that arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, the Company has been na med 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 unless some amount within the range of loss appears at that time to be a better estimate than any other amount in 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 Companys financial position.

13. Retirement Benefit Plan The Companys 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 Companys board of directors and are held in trust for the sole benefit of the participants. Shares allocated to a participants 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total shares of the Companys common stock outstanding were 106,797,748 and 106,968,082 , respectively, of which 49,241,105 and 50,864,117 , respectively, were held by the ESOP. A participants 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 Companys common stock based on quoted prices of a share of the Companys 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 contributi

Fair value · 3,349 characters as filed

16. 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Companys 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. Fair value is determined by using one or more of the following 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).

Income taxes · 3,701 characters as filed

11. Income Taxes The Companys effective tax rate was 112.4 % and 21.0 % for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the Companys lower pre-tax quarterly income relative to the impact of increased valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and foreign tax credit carryforwards (FTCs), partially offset by a change in jurisdictional mix of earnings. The Companys effective tax rate was 23.9 % and 19.8 % for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was due primarily to increased valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to NOLs and FTCs, partially offset by a change in jurisdictional mix of earnings. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21 % for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to increased valuation allowances relative to lower pre-tax quarterly earnings, state income taxes and executive compensation subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, partially offset by earnings subject to lower tax in foreign jurisdictions, untaxed income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and federal tax credits. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21 % for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to increas
