    2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K Dear Stockholders, When I last reported to you a year ago, we were closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and what 2020 had in store for us. Now, as we enter 2021, I can look back and say I have never been prouder of our team than after seeing how they rose to meet the challenges we faced together over the past year. 2020 Performance and Accomplishments Before I report on our many achievements in 2020, it is important to acknowledge how the pandemic has affected our 39,000 colleagues around the globe. We lost team members to COVID-19, and many of us have lost friends and family members as well. There have been very real economic, emotional and psychological impacts of the virus and the lockdowns that have been neces- sary to combat it. Throughout the year, as the virus first appeared and then spread, we worked to keep our workplaces healthy, our communities resilient, and our global food chain strong. We dramatically expanded our IT infrastructure to allow non-production colleagues to work safely from home, while simultaneously supporting our frontline teams, who continued coming to our production facilities every day. We worked with the University of Illinois on new saliva-based COVID-19 testing capabilities. And we offered financial and other support to colleagues and communities in need. Now, we are focused on helping our team members get vaccinated to protect ourselves and those around us, and accelerate a return to normalcy. Amid all of these challenges, our team delivered for our company and our customers.

  • Built to Deliver a Better World Letter from Michael S
    Built to deliver a better world Letter from Michael S. Burke Chairman & Chief Executive Officer AECOM Dear Stockholders: This has been a remarkable year for AECOM. We doubled our revenue to $18 billion and grew our adjusted EPS and free cash flow per share by 14% and 52%, respectively. We ended the year with over $40 billion of backlog. And, we progressed our capital allocation strategy designed to generate stockholder value by paying down over $700 million of the debt incurred to execute the URS transaction. Due to our strong execution, we also increased our synergy savings target to $325 million from $250 million at the outset of the year — a sign of increasing confidence in our combined business. But the numbers only represent a portion of our accomplishments as a company. With the URS transaction, we completed the largest combination in our industry’s history, uniting two proud cultures, and began setting the path for new opportunities that leverage our combined strengths, unparalleled talent and global reach. Our focus has moved from integration to transformation, and we continue to drive closer to our destination — to be the premier, fully-integrated global infrastructure firm. As a company, we are in a better position for growth than ever before. AECOM’s combined structure allows us to design, build, finance and operate (DBFO) critical infrastructure assets for our clients around the world and brings together the former operations of AECOM and URS into four principal business groups: Design & Consulting Services; Construction Services; Management Services and AECOM Capital. Our combined DBFO strengths, expertise and relationships are important competitive differentiators for us as we generate more opportunities with clients who already appreciate our creativity, innovation and ability to deliver.
