**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(unaudited)**

**1. Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of AECOM (the Company) are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, including all normal recurring items necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (the Annual Report). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared consistently with the accounting policies described in the Annual Report, except as noted, and should be read together with the Annual Report.

The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

As discussed in more detail in Note 3, the Company concluded that its self-perform at-risk construction businesses met the criteria for held for sale beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and met the criteria for discontinued operation classification. As a result, the self-perform at-risk construction businesses are presented in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities held for sale.

The Company reports its annual results of operations based on 52- or 53-week periods ending on the Friday nearest September 30. The interim consolidated financial statements are presented for the periods ending on January 2, 2026 and December 27, 2024. For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if the periods ended on September 30 and December 31.

**2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes* (Topic 740): *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which includes amendments that further enhance the income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for the Company for its annual financial statements in fiscal year 2026 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 requiring public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures in the notes of the financial statements of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement on an interim basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company for its annual financial statements in fiscal year 2027 and for its interim financial statements in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes references to project stages used in ASC 250-40 and clarifies the threshold entities should apply to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs. The new guidance is effective for the Company starting October 1, 2028. The Company adopted new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 using the prospective approach. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 to provide authoritative guidance related to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Previously, GAAP lacked specific provisions, leading to diverse practices based on analogies to IAS 20, ASC 958-605, or ASC 250. The new guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2029. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 using a modified prospective approach. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 that clarifies and improves the guidance for interim financial reporting by providing a list of required interim disclosures, clarifying the applicability of interim reporting requirements, and introducing a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The new guidance is effective for the Company starting October 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its financial presentation.

**3. Discontinued Operations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets**

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, management approved a plan to dispose of via sale the Company's self-perform at-risk construction businesses. These businesses include the Company's civil infrastructure, power, and oil and gas construction businesses that were previously reported in the Company's Construction Services segment. After consideration of the relevant facts, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of its self-perform at-risk construction businesses met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The Company concluded the actual and proposed disposal activities represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-20. Accordingly, the financial results of the self-perform at-risk construction businesses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses not sold as of the balance sheet date are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities held for sale for both periods presented. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had one equity method investment with a carrying value of $14.0 million classified as held for sale.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company resolved contingencies related to the sale of its civil infrastructure construction business and received equity in the counterparty. Concurrently, the Company participated as a member of a lending group in a revolving credit facility for the counterparty, committing to fund $30 million that matures in May 2029. At December 31, 2025, the counterparty had $23.2 million outstanding under the credit facility, and all cash flows were classified as other investing activities.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company and its joint venture counterparty amended the joint venture agreement for a business classified as held for sale. In connection with the amendment and consistent with ASC 810, *Consolidation*, the Company reconsidered whether it remained the primary beneficiary under the variable interest model and concluded it was no longer the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company deconsolidated the joint venture as of the amendment date. The Company continues to present its retained noncontrolling interest as held for sale and equity in earnings from the joint venture are reported in net loss from discontinued operations. No gain or loss was recognized in the deconsolidation of the joint venture during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

***Department of Energy Deactivation, Demolition, and Removal Project***

A former affiliate of the Company, Amentum Environment & Energy, Inc., f/k/a AECOM Energy and Construction, Inc. ("Former Affiliate"), executed a cost-reimbursable task order with the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2007 to provide deactivation, demolition and removal services at a New York State project site that, during 2010, experienced contamination and performance issues. In February 2011, the Former Affiliate and the DOE executed a Task Order Modification that changed some cost-reimbursable contract provisions to at-risk. The Task Order Modification, including subsequent amendments, required the DOE to pay all project costs up to $106 million, required the Former Affiliate and the DOE to equally share in all project costs incurred from $106 million to $146 million, and required the Former Affiliate to pay all project costs exceeding $146 million.

Due to unanticipated requirements and permitting delays by federal and state agencies, as well as delays and related ground stabilization activities caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011, the Former Affiliate was required to perform work outside the scope of the Task Order Modification. In December 2014, the Former Affiliate submitted an initial set of claims against the DOE pursuant to the Contracts Disputes Acts seeking recovery of $103 million, including additional fees on changed work scope (the "2014 Claims"). On December 6, 2019, the Former Affiliate submitted a second set of claims against the DOE seeking recovery of an additional $60.4 million, including additional project costs and delays outside the scope of the contract as a result of differing site and ground conditions (the "2019 Claims"). The Former Affiliate also submitted three alternative breach of contract claims to the 2014 Claims and the 2019 Claims that may entitle the Former

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

Affiliate to recovery of $148.5 million to $329.4 million. On December 30, 2019, the DOE denied the Former Affiliate's 2014 Claims. On September 25, 2020, the DOE denied the Former Affiliate's 2019 Claims. The Company filed an appeal of these decisions on December 20, 2020 in the Court of Federal Claims. Deconstruction, decommissioning and site restoration activities are complete.

On January 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Management Services business, including the Former Affiliate who worked on the DOE project, to Maverick Purchaser Sub LLC ("MS Purchaser"), an affiliate of American Securities LLC and Lindsay Goldberg LLC. The Company and the MS Purchaser agreed that all future DOE project claim recoveries and costs will be split 10% to the MS Purchaser and 90% to the Company with the Company retaining control of all future strategic legal decisions.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the procedural process resumed, and the Company subsequently engaged in settlement discussions. As a result, the Company revised its estimated recovery of the 2014 Claims and 2019 Claims submitted against the DOE, resulting in a $61.8 million non-cash loss recorded in loss from discontinued operations as the project was completed prior to the sale of the Former Affiliate.

The asset related to the project is presented in other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

***Refinery Turnaround Project***

A former affiliate of the Company, which was sold in a series of transactions to effectuate the sale of the self-perform at-risk construction businesses, entered into an agreement to perform turnaround maintenance services in Montana in December 2017. The former affiliate performed additional work outside of the original contract and became entitled to payment from the refinery owner. As part of the sale of the former affiliate, the refinery turnaround project, including related claims, were retained by the Company. The former affiliate's claims against the refinery owner and the refinery owner's cross-claims against the Company's former affiliate moved to federal court. A jury trial was completed on February 1, 2025, resulting in a favorable verdict for the Company. As a result of unfavorable court orders on post-trial motions, including pre-judgment interest and prompt payment interest, and issuance of the associated judgment, the Company recorded a $53.0 million loss during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 from the reduction in the expected future net cash proceeds the Company would receive as a result of the trial verdict. The Company has appealed the judgment. The loss was reported in discontinued operations as the project was completed prior to the sale of the former affiliate.

The Company's noncurrent assets held for sale represent the carrying value of its investment in an unconsolidated joint venture, which was $14.0 million and $19.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Company completed two business acquisitions during the year ended September 30, 2025 for total consideration of $375.9 million, which included stock consideration of $146.4 million. Neither of these two acquisitions met the quantitative thresholds to require separate disclosure. The Company acquired these businesses to expand its competitive advantage and compound strengths to achieve its long-term profitability targets. The Company preliminarily estimates the amount of identifiable assets as soon as information is available, but not more than 12 months from the date of acquisition. The initial accounting for these acquisitions is not complete as of December 31, 2025 as the Company continues to assess the value of the tax liabilities and the acquired intellectual property, including digital assets.

**4. Revenue Recognition**

The Company follows accounting principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generally recognizes revenues over time as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company generally measures its progress to completion using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred, which it believes to be the best measure of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts for services and incurs other direct costs on behalf of its clients. These costs are passed through to clients and, in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Company's revenue and cost of revenue. These pass-through revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.

Recognition of revenue and profit is dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the balance sheet date, such as engineering progress, material quantities, the achievement of milestones, penalty provisions, labor productivity and cost estimates. Additionally, the Company is required to make estimates for the amount of consideration to be received, including bonuses, awards, incentive fees, claims, unpriced change orders, penalties, and liquidated damages. Variable consideration is included in the estimate of the transaction price only to the extent that a significant reversal would not be probable. Management continuously monitors factors that may affect the quality of its estimates, and material changes in estimates are disclosed accordingly. Costs attributable to claims are treated as costs of contract performance as incurred.

The following summarizes the Company's major contract types:

*Cost Reimbursable Contracts*

Cost reimbursable contracts include cost-plus fixed fee, cost-plus fixed rate, and time-and-materials price contracts. Under cost-plus contracts, the Company charges clients for its costs, including both direct and indirect costs, plus a negotiated fee or rate. The Company recognizes revenue based on actual direct costs incurred and the applicable fixed rate or portion of the fixed fee earned as of the balance sheet date. Under time-and-materials price contracts, the Company negotiates hourly billing rates and charges its clients based on the actual time that it expends on a project. In addition, clients reimburse the Company for materials and other direct incidental expenditures incurred in connection with its performance under the contract. The Company may apply a practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount in which it has the right to invoice if its right to consideration is equal to the value of performance completed to date.

*Guaranteed Maximum Price Contracts (GMP)*

GMP contracts share many of the same contract provisions as cost-plus and fixed-price contracts. As with cost-plus contracts, clients are provided a disclosure of all the project costs, and a lump sum or percentage fee is separately identified. The Company provides clients with a guaranteed price for the overall project (adjusted for change orders issued by clients) and a schedule including the expected completion date. Cost overruns or costs associated with project delays in completion could be the Company's responsibility. For many of the Company's GMP contracts, the final price is generally not established until the Company has subcontracted a substantial percentage of the trade contracts with terms consistent with the master contract, and it has negotiated additional contractual limitations, such as waivers of consequential damages as well as aggregate caps on liabilities and liquidated damages. Revenue is recognized for GMP contracts as project costs are incurred relative to total estimated project costs.

*Fixed-Price Contracts*

Fixed-price contracts include both lump-sum and fixed-unit price contracts. Under lump-sum contracts, the Company performs all the work under the contract for a specified fee. Lump-sum contracts are typically subject to price adjustments if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen conditions arise. Under fixed-unit price contracts, the Company performs a number of units of work at an agreed price per unit with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units delivered. Revenue is recognized for fixed-price contracts using the input method measured on a cost-to-cost basis as the Company believes this is the best measure of progress towards completion.

*Disaggregated Revenue*

The following tables present the Company's revenues disaggregated by revenue sources:

| Guaranteed maximum price | 1350.2 | 1527.4 |

| Americas | $2977.2 | $3112.1 |
| Europe, Middle East, India, Africa | 522.4 | 537.0 |
| Asia-Australia-Pacific | 331.2 | 365.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total revenue | $3830.8 | $4014.2 |

---

*Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations*

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had allocated $19.4 billion of transaction price to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations, of which approximately 60% is expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months. The majority of remaining performance obligation after the first 12 months are expected to be recognized over a two-year period.

Contract liabilities represent billings as of the balance sheet date, as allowed under the terms of a contract, but not yet recognized as contract revenue pursuant to the Company's revenue recognition policy. The Company recognized revenue of $550.1 million and $623.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's timing of revenue recognition may not be consistent with its rights to bill and collect cash from its clients. Those rights are generally dependent upon advance billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of work or when services are performed. The Company's accounts receivables represent amounts billed to clients that have yet to be collected and represent an unconditional right to cash from its clients. Contract assets represent the amount of contract revenue recognized but not yet billed pursuant to contract terms or accounts billed after the balance sheet date.

Net accounts receivable consisted of the following:

Substantially all contract assets as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months, except for claims. Significant claims recorded in contract assets and other non-current assets were approximately $520 million and $400 million as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Contract retentions represent amounts invoiced to clients where payments have been withheld from progress payments

until the contracted work has been completed and approved by the client but nonetheless represent an unconditional right to cash.

The Company considers a broad range of information to estimate expected credit losses including the related ages of past due balances, projections of credit losses based on historical trends, and collection history and credit quality of its clients. Negative macroeconomic trends or delays in payment of outstanding receivables could result in an increase in the estimated credit losses.

No single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's outstanding receivables at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

The Company sold trade receivables to financial institutions, of which $347.5 million and $268.2 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company does not retain financial or legal obligations for these receivables that would result in material losses. The Company's ongoing involvement is limited to the remittance of customer payments to the financial institutions with respect to the sold trade receivables.

**5. Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities**

The Company's joint ventures provide architecture, engineering, program management, construction management, operations and maintenance services, and invest in real estate projects. Joint ventures, the combination of two or more partners, are generally formed for a specific project. Management of the joint venture is typically controlled by a joint venture executive committee, comprised of representatives from the joint venture partners. The joint venture executive committee normally provides management oversight and controls decisions which could have a significant impact on the joint venture.

Some of the Company's joint ventures have no employees and minimal operating expenses. For these joint ventures, the Company's employees perform work for the joint venture, which is then billed to a third-party customer by the joint venture. These joint ventures function as pass-through entities to bill the third-party customer. For consolidated joint ventures of this type, the Company records the entire amount of the services performed and the costs associated with these services, including the services provided by the other joint venture partners, in the Company's result of operations. For certain of these joint ventures where a fee is added by an unconsolidated joint venture to client billings, the Company's portion of that fee is recorded in equity in earnings of joint ventures.

The Company also has joint ventures that have their own employees and operating expenses, and to which the Company generally makes a capital contribution. The Company accounts for these joint ventures either as consolidated entities or equity method investments based on the criteria further discussed below.

The Company follows guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) that requires companies to utilize a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The process for identifying the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires consideration of the factors that indicate a party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture's economic performance, including powers granted to the joint venture's program manager, powers contained in the joint venture governing board and, to a certain extent, a company's economic interest in the joint venture. The Company analyzes its joint ventures and classifies them as either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a VIE that must be consolidated because the Company is the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company holds the majority voting interest with no significant participative rights available to the other partners; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a VIE that does not require consolidation and is treated as an equity method investment because the Company is not the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company does not hold the majority voting interest.

As part of the above analysis, if it is determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture's economic performance, the Company considers whether or not it has the obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Contractually required support provided to the Company's joint ventures is further discussed in Note 15.

**6. Pension Benefit Obligations**

In the U.S., the Company sponsors various qualified defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under these plans generally are based on the employee's years of creditable service and compensation; however, all U.S. defined benefit plans are closed to new participants and have frozen accruals.

The Company also sponsors various non-qualified plans in the U.S.; all of these plans are frozen. Outside the U.S., the Company sponsors various pension plans, which are appropriate to the country in which the Company operates, some of which are government mandated.

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The following table details the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company's pension plans for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

*Credit Agreement*

On April 19, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 14 to Syndicated Facility Agreement (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented, the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company obtained a new $1,500,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), a new $750,000,000 term loan A facility (the "New Term A Facility" and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the "New Pro Rata Facilities") and a new $700,000,000 term loan B facility (the "New Term B Facility" and, together with the New Pro Rata Facilities, the "New Credit Facilities"). The New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term A Facility mature on April 19, 2029. The New Term B Facility matures on April 19, 2031. The New Term A Facility and the New Term B Facility were borrowed in full on April 19, 2024 in U.S. dollars. Loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, and letters of credit thereunder may be issued, in U.S. dollars or in certain foreign currencies. The New Credit Facilities replace in full the Company's existing revolving credit facility, term loan A facility and term loan B facility, and borrowings under the New Credit Facilities were used to refinance in full the Company's existing credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement permits the Company to designate certain of its subsidiaries as additional co-borrowers from time to time. Currently, there are no co-borrowers under the New Credit Facilities. On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 15 to Syndicated Facility Agreement, pursuant to which the Company reduced the interest rate spread applicable to its New Term B Facility.

Borrowings under (a) the New Revolving Credit Facility (in U.S. dollars) and the New Term A Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, (i) a Term SOFR rate (with a 0% floor and SOFR adjustment of 0.10%) or (ii) a base rate (with a 0% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.225% in the case of the Term SOFR rate and 0.225% in the case of the base rate, and (b) the New Revolving Credit Facility in currencies other than U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable reference rate for such currency (including any related adjustments), plus an applicable margin of 1.225%. The applicable margin is subject, in each case, to adjustment based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio from time to time.

Borrowings under the New Term B Facility, after giving effect to Amendment No. 15 to Syndicated Facility Agreement, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, (a) a Term SOFR rate (with a 0% floor and a SOFR adjustment of 0%) or (b) a base rate (with a 0% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.75% in the case of the Term SOFR rate and 0.75% in the case of the base rate.

Certain of the Company's material subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") have guaranteed the Company's obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. The borrowers' obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and its Guarantors' assets, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants that include, among other things, limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur liens and debt, make investments, dispositions, and restricted payments, change the nature of their business, consummate mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and transact with affiliates. The Company is also required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to certain adjustments in connection with permitted acquisitions), tested on a quarterly basis (the "Financial Covenant"). The Financial Covenant does not apply to the New Term B Facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among other things, compliance with applicable law, preservation of existence, maintenance of properties and of insurance, and keeping proper books and records. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees, cross-defaults to other debt, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, failure to perform covenants, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, change of control and unsatisfied judgments, subject in certain cases to notice and cure periods and other exceptions.

At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, letters of credit totaled $4.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, under the Company's New Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company had $1,495.6 million and $1,495.6 million, respectively, available under its New Revolving Credit Facility.

*2027 Senior Notes*

On February 21, 2017, the Company completed a private placement offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its unsecured 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). On June 30, 2017, the Company completed an exchange offer to exchange the unregistered 2027 Senior Notes for registered notes, as well as related guarantees. In July 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the 2033 Senior Notes (defined below) to purchase $732,914,000 in principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the expiration date of the tender offer for the 2027 Senior Notes. In August 2025, the Company redeemed the remaining 2027 Senior Notes with a portion of the proceeds of the 2033 Senior Notes. The purchase and redemption included an aggregate make-whole payment of $9.1 million.

*2033 Senior Notes*

On July 22, 2025, the Company completed an offering of $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Senior Notes"). As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2033 Senior Notes was approximately $1,222.5 million. The fair value of the 2033 Senior Notes as of December 31, 2025 was derived by taking the mid-point of the trading prices from an observable market input (Level 2) in the secondary bond market and multiplying it by the outstanding balance of the 2033 Senior Notes.

Interest will be payable on the 2033 Senior Notes at a rate of 6.000% per annum. Interest on the 2033 Senior Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2026. The 2033 Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2033.

Prior to August 1, 2028, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus a "make whole" premium as of the redemption date, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, prior to August 1, 2028, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Senior Notes with proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Furthermore, at any time on or after August 1, 2028, the Company may redeem on one or more occasions all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1 of each of the years indicated below:

**<u>Percentage</u>**

2028 ................................................................................................................... 103.000%

2029 ................................................................................................................... 101.500%

2030 and thereafter ................................................................................................ 100.000%

The indenture pursuant to which the 2033 Senior Notes were issued contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The indenture also contains customary negative covenants.

The Company was in compliance with the covenants related to the 2033 Senior Notes as of December 31, 2025.

*Other Debt and Other Items*

Other debt consists primarily of obligations under capital leases and loans, and unsecured credit facilities. The Company's unsecured credit facilities are primarily used for standby letters of credit issued in connection with general and professional liability insurance programs and for contract performance guarantees. At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, these outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $926.6 million and $899.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $399.0 million available under these unsecured credit facilities.

*Effective Interest Rate*

The Company's average effective interest rate on its total debt, including the effects of the interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements, during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively.

Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations included amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $1.4 million, and for the three months ended December 31, 2024 of $1.4 million.

**8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements**

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to hedge interest rate exposures on the Company's variable rate debt. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that its cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company's hedging program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives that have been designated as accounting hedges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as cost of revenue, interest expense or to accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

***Cash Flow Hedges***

The Company uses interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to limit exposure to variable interest rates on portions of the Company's debt. The Company initially reports any gain on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Depending on the type of cash flow hedge, the gain is subsequently reclassified against interest expense when the interest expense on the variable rate debt is recognized. If the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring, any gain or loss related to interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements would be recognized in other income.

The notional principal, fixed rates and related effective and expiration dates of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap agreements were as follows:

---

| USD | 400.0 | 1.283% | February 2023 | March 2028 |

---

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $400.0 million to manage the interest rate exposure of its variable rate loans. The swaps became effective February 2023 and terminate in March 2028. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted a portion of the SOFR rate-based liability into a fixed rate liability. The Company pays a fixed rate of 1.283% and receives payment at the prevailing one-month SOFR.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company purchased interest rate cap agreements with a notional value of $300.0 million to manage interest rate exposure of its variable rate loans. The caps became effective on June 30, 2022 and terminate in March 2028. The caps reduce the Company's exposure to one-month SOFR. In the event one-month SOFR exceeds 3.465%, the Company will receive the spread between prevailing one-month SOFR and 3.465%.

See Note 14 for accumulated balances and reporting period activities of derivatives related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Additionally, there were no material losses recognized in income due to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing from the Company's interest rate swap agreements.

***Other Foreign Currency Forward Contracts***

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts which are not designated as accounting hedges to hedge intercompany transactions and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary. Gains and losses on these contracts were not material for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

***Fair Value Measurements***

The fair values of the interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements were derived by taking the net present value of the expected cash flows using observable market inputs (Level 2) such as SOFR rate curves, futures, volatilities and basis spreads (when applicable).

As discussed in Note 3, the Company received an equity investment in the civil infrastructure construction business buyer and concurrently participated as a member of a lending group in a revolving credit facility. The Company elected the fair value option for its equity investment due to the availability of quoted prices of identical assets. The fair value option was also elected for the credit facility investment. Changes in fair value of both investments are classified within other income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company records interest income at the stated coupon rate of the credit facility and classifies it within interest income on the consolidated statement of operations. Fair value for the equity investment is determined using Level 1 inputs, and fair value of the credit facility investment is determined using Level 3 inputs, such as estimated cash flows and estimated discount rates. The Company recorded a gain of $1.0 million and $5.0 million in other income in the first three months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing the increase in fair value of these investments.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company issued contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of a business, with a maximum value of $17.7 million. The contingent consideration is a liability that is measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in other income. The contingent consideration is measured using Level 2 inputs, such as quoted market prices and volatilities. The Company recorded a gain of $4.1 million in other income in the first three months of fiscal 2026.

**9. Share-based Payments**

The Company grants stock units to employees under its Performance Earnings Program (PEP), whereby units are earned and issued dependent upon meeting established cumulative performance objectives and vest over a three-year service period. Additionally, the Company issues restricted stock units to employees and directors which are earned based on service conditions. The grant date fair value of PEP awards and restricted stock unit awards is primarily based on that day's closing market price of the Company's common stock.

---

Total compensation expense related to these share-based payments including stock options was $16.0 million and $16.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to total share-based payments outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 was $143.8 million and $106.7 million, respectively, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards' respective vesting periods which are generally three years.

**10. Income Taxes**

The Company's effective tax rate was 19.7% and 13.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025 were a tax benefit of $15.1 million related to income tax credits and incentives, and tax expense of $13.2 million related to foreign residual income. All these items are expected to have a continuing impact on the effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 were a tax benefit of $20.1 million related to deferred tax assets recognized due to legal entity restructuring, a tax benefit of $17.6 million related to income tax credits and incentives, tax expense of $15.1 million related to foreign residual income, and tax expense of $6.1 million related to state income taxes.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of $20.1 million related to legal entity restructuring. The restructuring resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets related to tax attributes that are expected to be utilized against future taxable income.

The Company is utilizing the annual effective tax rate method under ASC 740 to compute its interim tax provision. The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to various factors including the change in the mix of global income and expenses, outcomes of administrative audits, changes in the assessment of valuation allowances due to management's consideration of new positive or negative evidence during the quarter, and changes in enacted tax laws. The U.S. and many international legislative and regulatory bodies have proposed legislation that could significantly impact how our business activities are taxed. These proposed changes could have a material impact on the Company's income tax expense and deferred tax balances.

The Company is currently under tax audit in several jurisdictions including the U.S. where its federal income tax returns for fiscal 2017 through 2020 are being examined by the IRS. Disputes can arise with tax authorities involving issues related to the timing of deductions, the calculation and use of credits, and the taxation of income in various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations or application of tax laws, regulations, and relevant facts. The IRS is currently auditing certain tax credits and the methodology for calculating the credits. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to the examination and will adjust the reserve as necessary based on changes in facts and circumstances, including the resolution of the audit.

Generally, the Company does not provide for U.S. taxes or foreign withholding taxes on gross book-tax differences in its non-U.S. subsidiaries because such basis differences of approximately $1.1 billion are able to and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

intended to be reinvested indefinitely. If these basis differences were distributed, foreign tax credits could become available under current law to partially or fully reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability. There may also be additional U.S. or foreign income tax liability upon repatriation, although the calculation of such additional taxes is not practicable.

**11. Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to AECOM by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to AECOM by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potential common shares for the period. The Company includes as potential common shares the weighted average dilutive effects of equity awards using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, equity awards excluded from the calculation of potential common shares were not significant.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the denominators for basic and diluted earnings per share:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **December 31,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |

| Denominator for basic earnings per share | 130.9 | 132.5 |
| Potential common shares | 1.1 | 1.1 |
| Denominator for diluted earnings per share | 132.0 | 133.6 |

**12. Leases**

The Company and its subsidiaries are lessees in non-cancelable leasing agreements for office buildings and equipment. Substantially all of the Company's office building leases are operating leases, and its equipment leases are both operating and finance leases. The Company groups lease and non-lease components for its equipment leases into a single lease component but separates lease and non-lease components for its office building leases.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases at the commencement date equal to the present value of the contractual minimum lease payments over the lease term. The present value is calculated using the rate implicit in the lease, if known, or the Company's incremental secured borrowing rate. The discount rate used for operating leases is primarily determined based on an analysis of the Company's incremental secured borrowing rate, while the discount rate used for finance leases is primarily determined by the rate specified in the lease.

The related lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including, as applicable, any free-rent period during which the Company has the right to use the asset. For leases with renewal options where the renewal is reasonably assured, the lease term, including the renewal period, is used to determine the appropriate lease classification and to compute periodic rental expense. Leases with initial terms shorter than 12 months are not recognized on the balance sheet, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.

The components of lease expenses are as follows:

---

| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |

The remaining accrued contract costs primarily relate to costs for services provided by subcontractors and other non-employees. Liabilities recorded related to accrued contract losses were not material as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The Company did not have material revisions to estimates for contracts where revenue is recognized using the input method during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. During the first three months of fiscal 2026 the Company incurred restructuring and acquisition expenses of $27.9 million, including personnel and other costs of $26.3 million and real estate costs of $1.6 million, of which $15.0 million was accrued and unpaid at December 31, 2025. During the first three months of fiscal 2025, the Company did not initiate any new transformational restructuring activities.

**15. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company records amounts representing its probable estimated liabilities relating to claims, guarantees, litigation, audits and investigations. The Company relies in part on qualified actuaries to assist it in determining the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against it, and for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis, but have not yet been reported to the Company's claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. The Company includes any adjustments to such insurance reserves in its consolidated results of operations. The Company's reasonably possible loss disclosures are presented on a gross basis prior to the consideration of insurance recoveries. The Company does not record gain contingencies until they are realized. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may not be aware that it or its affiliates are under investigation and may not be aware of whether or not a known investigation has been concluded.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into various arrangements providing financial or performance assurance to clients, lenders, or partners. Such arrangements include standby letters of credit, surety bonds, and corporate guarantees to support the creditworthiness or the project execution commitments of its affiliates, partnerships and joint ventures. The Company's unsecured credit arrangements are used for standby letters of credit issued in connection with general and professional liability insurance programs and for contract performance guarantees. At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, these outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $926.6 million and $899.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $399.0 million available under these unsecured credit facilities. Performance arrangements typically have various expiration dates ranging from the completion of the project contract and extending beyond contract completion in some circumstances such as for warranties. The Company may also guarantee that a project, when complete, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, the Company may incur additional costs, pay liquidated damages or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to achieve the required performance standards. The potential payment amount of an outstanding performance arrangement is typically the remaining cost of work to be performed by or on behalf of third parties. Generally, under joint venture arrangements, if a partner is financially unable to complete its share of the contract, the other partner(s) may be required to complete those activities.

At December 31, 2025, the Company was contingently liable in the amount of approximately $931.0 million in issued standby letters of credit and $6.3 billion in issued surety bonds primarily to support project execution.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various agreements providing financial or performance assurances to clients on behalf of certain unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other jointly executed contracts. These agreements are entered into primarily to support the project execution commitments of these entities.

The Company's investment adviser jointly manages and sponsors the AECOM-Canyon Equity Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"), in which the Company indirectly holds an equity interest and has an ongoing capital commitment to fund investments. At December 31, 2025, the Company has capital commitments of $5.1 million to the Fund over the next 3 years.

In addition, in connection with the investment activities of AECOM Capital, the Company provides guarantees of certain contractual obligations, including guarantees for completion of projects, limited debt repayment, environmental indemnity obligations and other lender required guarantees.

In February 2024, the Company was informed of a potential liability as one of the indemnitors on a divested business' surety bonds. The Company does not have sufficient information to determine the range of potential impacts; however, it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional costs related to these bonds.

**16. Reportable Segments**

The Company manages its operations under three reportable segments according to their geographic regions and business activities. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company considered the financial information provided to its chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the chief executive officer. The financial data is organized by geographic region and global business lines. The CODM uses this information to allocate resources and assess the performance of the segments primarily based on revenue less pass-through revenue and attributable earnings before interest, tax, and amortization expense along with forecasts, market activity, and other non-financial information. Information provided to the CODM for purposes of making operating decisions and evaluating segment performance excludes asset-related information. After considering various factors, including the development and utilization of financial data to the CODM, the Company concluded that identifying its operating segments by geography was consistent with the objectives of ASC 280-10. Certain operating segments have been aggregated based on similar characteristics, including long-term financial performance, the nature of services provided, internal process for delivering those services, and types of customers, to arrive at the Company's reportable segments. The Company's Americas reportable segment provides planning, consulting, architectural and engineering design services, and construction management services to public and private clients in the United States, Canada, and Latin America and is comprised of the Design and Consulting Services Americas and Construction Management operating segments. The Company's International reportable segment provides similar professional services to public and private clients in Europe and India, the Middle East and Africa, Asia, and Australia and New Zealand and is comprised of the operating segments in those geographic regions. The Company's AECOM Capital (ACAP) operating segment is its own reportable segment and primarily invests in and develops real estate projects. Certain expenses that are determined to be related to the Company as a whole are not deemed to be part of an operating segment but are reported within Corporate.

The following tables set forth summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments:

**Overview**

We are a leading global provider of professional infrastructure consulting and advisory services for governments, businesses and organizations throughout the world. We provide advisory, planning, consulting, architectural and engineering design, construction and program management services, and investment and development services to public and private clients worldwide in major end markets such as transportation, facilities, water, environmental, and energy.

Our business focuses primarily on providing fee-based knowledge-based services. We primarily derive income from our ability to generate revenue and collect cash from our clients through the billing of our employees' time spent on client projects and our ability to manage our costs. AECOM Capital primarily derives its income from real estate development sales and management fees.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

We report our continuing business through three segments, each of which is described in further detail below: Americas, International, and AECOM Capital (ACAP). Such segments are organized by the differing specialized needs of the respective clients and how we manage the business. We have aggregated various operating segments into our reportable segments based on their similar characteristics, including similar long-term financial performance, the nature of services provided, internal processes for delivering those services, and types of customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Americas*: Planning, advisory, consulting, architectural and engineering design, construction management and program management services to public and private clients in the United States, Canada, and Latin America in major end markets such as transportation, water, government, facilities, environmental, and energy. As previously announced, the strategic review of our construction management business has been completed, and we intend to continue to own and operate the business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *International*: Planning, advisory, consulting, architectural and engineering design services, site supervision and program management to public and private clients in Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and the Asia-Australia-Pacific regions in major end markets such as transportation, water, government, facilities, environmental, and energy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *AECOM Capital (ACAP)*: Primarily invests in and develops real estate projects.

Our revenue is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified and productive employees, identify business opportunities, allocate our labor resources and capital to profitable and high growth markets, secure new contracts, and renew existing client agreements. Demand for our services may be vulnerable to sudden economic downturns and reductions in government and private industry spending, which may result in clients delaying, curtailing or canceling proposed and existing projects. Moreover, as a professional services company, maintaining the high quality of the work generated by our employees is integral to our revenue generation and profitability. Given the global nature of our business, our revenue is exposed to currency rate fluctuations that could change from period to period and year to year.

Our costs consist primarily of the compensation we pay to our employees, including salaries, fringe benefits, the costs of hiring subcontractors, other project-related expenses and sales, general and administrative costs.

At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $336 million remaining of the Board's stock repurchase authorization. On February 4, 2026, the Board approved an increase in our stock repurchase authorization to $1.0 billion. We intend to deploy future available cash towards dividends and stock repurchases consistent with our returns driven capital allocation policy.

We have exited substantially all of our self-perform at-risk construction businesses. As part of our ongoing plan to improve profitability and maintain a reduced risk profile, we continuously evaluate our business portfolio.

We completed a transaction that transitioned the AECOM Capital team to a new third-party platform in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Members of the legacy team continue to support AECOM Capital's investment vehicles pursuant to certain advisory agreements in a manner consistent with their historical responsibilities.

There were two business acquisitions consummated during the year ended September 30, 2025. The Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and preliminarily estimated the amount of identifiable assets and the results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in our consolidated results since the dates of acquisition. Those results of operations were not material to our consolidated results. The initial accounting for these acquisitions is not complete as of December 31, 2025 as the Company continues to assess the value of the tax liabilities and the acquired intellectual property, including digital assets.

***Revenue***

Our revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $183.4 million, or 4.6%, to $3,830.8 million as compared to $4,014.2 million for the corresponding period last year. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was lower by approximately 3 percentage points due to fewer working days compared to the same period in the prior year.

The Company's portion of revenue excluding pass-through revenue attributable to subcontractors increased for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2025. Underlying revenue excluding pass-through revenues increased across most of our end markets as a result of increased investment by large, publicly financed, global programs with infrastructure incentive and spending including including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the U.S. and similar large programs in our largest end markets globally. Additionally, a clear trend emerging globally across our markets is the rapid acceleration in national defense spending, and this is contributing to our revenue growth as well as driving growth in our backlog and pipeline of opportunities. Our Water end market has been benefiting from increased investment to address drought, flooding, emerging contaminant remediation, water storage, and clean and safe drinking water. Our Transportation end market has been benefiting from incremental investments across the globe to modernize transportation infrastructure and address growth and urbanization trends, while our Environment end market has been benefiting from infrastructure that requires permitting, compliance, and remediation as well as investments in energy. Our Facilities end market has been benefiting from positive public sector investment, trends in asset maintenance and repositioning as well as demand for modern, efficient facilities. The quantification of the impact of these trends by end market is noted within our Americas and International reportable segments discussion below, where applicable, and represents substantially all of our revenue change.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

In the course of providing our services, we routinely subcontract for services and incur other direct costs on behalf of our clients. These costs are passed through to clients and, in accordance with industry practice and GAAP, are included in our revenue and cost of revenue. Because these pass-through revenues can change significantly from project to project and period to period, changes in revenue may not be indicative of business trends. Pass-through revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. Pass-through revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 52% and 55% during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Cost of Revenue***

Our cost of revenue decreased to $3,549.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3,745.8 million for the corresponding period last year, a decrease of $196.0 million, or 5.2%.

Substantially all of the change in our cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 occurred in our Americas and International reportable segments, which is discussed in more detail below.

***Gross Profit***

Our gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $12.6 million, or 4.7%, to $281.0 million as compared to $268.4 million for the corresponding period last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 7.3% from 6.7% in the corresponding period last year.

Gross profit changes were due to the reasons noted in our Americas and International reportable segments below.

***Equity in Earnings of Joint Ventures***

Our equity in earnings of joint ventures for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $9.8 million as compared to $9.6 million in the corresponding period last year.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $0.4 million, or 1.0%, to $40.9 million as compared to $40.5 million for the corresponding period last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 1.1% from 1.0% in the corresponding period last year.

***Restructuring and Acquisition Costs***

Restructuring and acquisition costs are comprised of personnel costs, real estate costs, and costs associated with business acquisitions and exits. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred total restructuring and acquisition costs of $27.9 million, primarily related to actions taken for acquisitions and optimizing our organization structure. No new restructuring costs were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

***Other Income***

Our other income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $7.9 million compared to $6.9 million for the corresponding period last year.

The increase in other income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the increase in fair value of our investments measured at fair value.

***Interest Income***

Our interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased to $13.7 million from $16.6 million for the corresponding period last year.

The decrease in interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in our interest-bearing assets.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

***Interest Expense***

Our interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $45.3 million as compared to $43.0 million for the corresponding period last year.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in our interest-bearing liabilities.

***Income Tax Expense***

Our income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $39.0 million as compared to $29.3 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in tax expense for the current period compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to a tax benefit of $20.1 million recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to deferred tax assets, partially offset by the tax impact of a decrease in pre-tax income of $19.6 million, tax benefit of $3.1 million related to return to provision adjustments, and a reduction in tax expense of $2.6 million related to state income taxes.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized deferred tax assets of $20.1 million related to legal entity restructuring. The restructuring resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets related to tax attributes that are expected to be utilized against future taxable income.

***Net Loss From Discontinued Operations***

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, management approved a plan to dispose of via sale our self-perform at-risk construction businesses. As a result of these strategic actions, the self-perform at-risk construction businesses were classified as discontinued operations.

Net loss from discontinued operations was $65.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to net loss of $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $56.3 million.

The increase in net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a change in our expected recovery on a deactivation, demolition, and removal project in the current year.

***Net Income Attributable to AECOM***

The factors described above resulted in net income attributable to AECOM of $74.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to net income attributable to AECOM of $167.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

***Revenue***

Revenue for our Americas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $134.7 million, or 4.3%, to $2,977.3 million as compared to $3,112.0 million for the corresponding period last year.

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $198.4 million decrease in pass-through revenues on contracts for which we subcontract work on behalf of our clients compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was also adversely affected by approximately 3 percentage points due to fewer working days compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in revenue from the Americas was primarily due to our Facilities end market, which decreased $191.2 million, or 9.9%, and was partially offset from increased project activity in our Transportation end market of $36.2 million, or 6.3%, and an increase in our Water and Environment end markets of $43.8 million, or 8.1%, compared to the corresponding period last year.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue for our Americas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $154.1 million, or 5.3%, to $2,767.7 million compared to $2,921.8 million for the corresponding period last year.

The decrease in cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to fewer working days for the first three months of fiscal year 2026 and the decreases in subcontractor and other direct costs offset by increased project activity.

***Gross Profit***

Gross profit for our Americas segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $19.4 million, or 10.2%, to $209.6 million as compared to $190.2 million for the corresponding period last year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 7.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 6.1% in the corresponding period last year.

The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the benefit from restructuring actions taken last year, growth in enterprise capability centers, ongoing continuous improvement initiatives, and growth in higher margin advisory services.

***Revenue***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

The decrease in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a 3 percentage point decrease in working days, and by a decrease in pass-through revenues of $34.5 million, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Revenue decreased in our Facilities end market by $51.1 million, or 13.4%, and in our Transportation end market by $29.5 million, or 9.8%, partially offset by increased project activity in our Water and Environment end market of $26.5 million, or 13.9%, compared to the corresponding period last year.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue for our International segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $41.9 million, or 5.1%, to $782.1 million as compared to $824.0 million for the corresponding period last year.

The decrease in cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was due to fewer working days in the first three months of fiscal year 2026 and the decreases in subcontractor and other direct costs as well as improved project execution.

***Gross Profit***

Gross profit for our International segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $6.6 million, or 8.5%, to $71.4 million as compared to $78.0 million for the corresponding period last year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 8.4% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 8.6% in the corresponding period last year.

The decreases in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were primarily due to decreases in Asia and Australia, which were partially offset by an increase in Europe.

---

Equity in earnings of joint ventures for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $0.5 million, or 41.7%, to $0.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in equity in earnings of joint ventures for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to favorable earnings of an investment in the prior year compared to the current year.

**Seasonality**

We experience seasonal trends in our business. Our revenue is typically higher in the last half of the fiscal year. The fourth quarter of our fiscal year (July 1 to September 30) is typically our strongest quarter. We find that the U.S. federal government tends to authorize more work during the period preceding the end of our fiscal year, September 30. In addition, 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. Further, our construction management revenue typically increases during the summer months when weather and daylight hours are more conducive to outdoor activities. Within the United States, as well as other parts of the world, our business generally benefits from milder weather conditions in our fiscal fourth quarter. Our construction and project management services also typically expand during the summer months when weather and daylight hours are more conducive to outdoor activities. The first quarter of our fiscal year (October 1 to December 31) is typically our lowest revenue quarter. The harsher weather conditions impact our ability to complete work in parts of North America and the holiday season schedule affects our productivity during this period. For these reasons, coupled with the number and significance of client contracts commenced and completed during a particular period, as well as the timing of expenses incurred for corporate initiatives, it is not unusual for us to experience seasonal changes or fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Cash Flows***

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, and access to financial markets. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, acquisitions, repurchases of common stock, dividend payments, and refinancing or repayment of debt. We believe our anticipated sources of liquidity including operating cash flows, existing cash and cash equivalents, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and our ability to issue debt or equity, if required, will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We expect to spend approximately $36 million for restructuring costs in fiscal 2026 associated with restructuring actions taken in prior periods that are expected to deliver continued margin improvement and efficiencies.

Generally, we do not provide for U.S. taxes or foreign withholding taxes on gross book-tax basis differences in our non-U.S. subsidiaries because such basis differences are able to and intended to be reinvested indefinitely. At December 31, 2025, we have determined that we will continue to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of some foreign subsidiaries and, therefore, we will continue to account for these undistributed earnings based on our existing accounting under ASC 740 and not accrue additional tax. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation. Based on the available sources of cash flows discussed above, we anticipate we will continue to have the ability to permanently reinvest these remaining amounts.

At December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $1,246.7 million, a decrease of $339.0 million from $1,585.7 million at September 30, 2025.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $70.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $151.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease in net income of approximately $85.7 million, and an increase in cash used by changes in working capital of $97.3 million, partially offset by an increase in adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $102.3 million. The sale of trade receivables to financial institutions included in operating cash flows increased $12.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. We expect to continue to sell trade receivables in the future as long as the terms continue to remain favorable to us.

Net cash used in investing activities was $34.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to a $23.3 million increase in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures partially offset by a decrease in cash payments for capital expenditures of approximately $11.9 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $374.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $121.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The change from the prior year was primarily attributable to a $270.7 million increase in cash used to repurchase common stock. Total borrowings under our Credit Agreement may vary during the period as we regularly draw and repay amounts to fund working capital.

***Working Capital***

Working capital, or current assets less current liabilities, decreased $191.3 million, or 23.9%, to $610.1 million at December 31, 2025 from $801.4 million at September 30, 2025. Net accounts receivable and contract assets, net of contract liabilities, increased to $3,292.3 million at December 31, 2025 from $3,194.4 million at September 30, 2025.

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), which includes net accounts receivable and contract assets, net of contract liabilities, was 77 days at December 31, 2025 compared to 74 days at September 30, 2025.

In Note 4, Revenue Recognition, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, a comparative analysis of the various components of accounts receivable is provided. Except for claims, substantially all contract assets are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months.

Contract assets related to claims are recorded only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and if the amount can be reliably estimated. In such cases, revenue is recorded only to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred. Award fees in contract assets are accrued only when there is sufficient information to assess contract performance. On contracts that represent higher than normal risk or technical difficulty, award fees are generally deferred until an award fee letter is received.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

Because our revenue depends to a great extent on billable labor hours, most of our charges are invoiced following the end of the month in which the hours were worked, the majority usually within 15 days. Other direct costs are normally billed along with labor hours. However, as opposed to salary costs, which are generally paid on either a bi-weekly or monthly basis, other direct costs are generally not paid until payment is received (in some cases in the form of advances) from the customers.

*Credit Agreement* 

On April 19, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 14 to Syndicated Facility Agreement (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented, the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which we obtained a new $1,500,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), a new $750,000,000 term loan A facility (the "New Term A Facility" and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the "New Pro Rata Facilities") and a new $700,000,000 term loan B facility (the "New Term B Facility" and, together with the New Pro Rata Facilities, the "New Credit Facilities"). The New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term A Facility mature on April 19, 2029. The New Term B Facility matures on April 19, 2031. The New Term A Facility and the New Term B Facility were borrowed in full on April 19, 2024 in U.S. dollars. Loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, and letters of credit thereunder may be issued, in U.S. dollars or in certain foreign currencies. The New Credit Facilities replace in full our existing revolving credit facility, term loan A facility and term loan B facility, and borrowings under the New Credit Facilities were used to refinance in full our existing credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement permits us to designate certain of our subsidiaries as additional co-borrowers from time to time. Currently, there are no co-borrowers under the New Credit Facilities. On October 29, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 15 to Syndicated Facility Agreement, pursuant to which we reduced the interest rate spread applicable to our New Term B Facility.

Borrowings under (a) the New Revolving Credit Facility (in U.S. dollars) and the New Term A Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (i) a Term SOFR rate (with a 0% floor and SOFR adjustment of 0.10%) or (ii) a base rate (with a 0% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.225% in the case of the Term SOFR rate and 0.225% in the case of the base rate, and (b) the New Revolving Credit Facility in currencies other than U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable reference rate for such currency (including any related adjustments), plus an applicable margin of 1.225%. The applicable margin is subject, in each case, to adjustment based on our consolidated leverage ratio from time to time.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

Borrowings under the New Term B Facility, after giving effect to Amendment No. 15 to Syndicated Facility Agreement, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) a Term SOFR rate (with a 0% floor and a SOFR adjustment of 0%) or (b) a base rate (with a 0% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.75% in the case of the Term SOFR rate and 0.75% in the case of the base rate.

Certain of our material subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") have guaranteed our obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. The borrowers' obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the Guarantors' assets, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants that include, among other things, limitations on our ability and certain of our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur liens and debt, make investments, dispositions, and restricted payments, change the nature of our business, consummate mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our respective assets and transact with affiliates. We are also required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to certain adjustments in connection with permitted acquisitions), tested on a quarterly basis (the "Financial Covenant"). The Financial Covenant does not apply to the New Term B Facility. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among other things, compliance with applicable law, preservation of existence, maintenance of properties and of insurance, and keeping proper books and records. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees, cross-defaults to other debt, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, failure to perform covenants, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, change of control and unsatisfied judgments, subject in certain cases to notice and cure periods and other exceptions.

At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, letters of credit totaled $4.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, under our New Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had $1,495.6 million and $1,495.6 million, respectively, available under our New Revolving Credit Facility.

*2027 Senior Notes*

On February 21, 2017, we completed a private placement offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our unsecured 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). On June 30, 2017, we completed an exchange offer to exchange the unregistered 2027 Senior Notes for registered notes, as well as related guarantees. In July 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds of the 2033 Senior Notes (defined below) to purchase $732,914,000 in principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the expiration date of the tender offer for the 2027 Senior Notes. In August 2025, we redeemed the remaining 2027 Senior Notes with a portion of the proceeds of the 2033 Senior Notes. The purchase and redemption included an aggregate make-whole payment of $9.1 million.

*2033 Senior Notes*

On July 22, 2025, we completed an offering of $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 6.000% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Senior Notes"). As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2033 Senior Notes was approximately $1,222.5 million. The fair value of the 2033 Senior Notes as of December 31, 2025 was derived by taking the mid-point of the trading prices from an observable market input (Level 2) in the secondary bond market and multiplying it by the outstanding balance of the 2033 Senior Notes.

Interest is payable on the 2033 Senior Notes at a rate of 6.000% per annum. Interest on the 2033 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2026. The 2033 Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2033.

Prior to August 1, 2028, we may redeem all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus a "make whole" premium as of the redemption date, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, prior to August 1, 2028, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Senior Notes with proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Furthermore, at any time on or after August 1, 2028, we may redeem on one or more occasions all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1 of each of the years indicated below:

**<u>Percentage</u>**

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

2028 ................................................................................................................... 103.000%

2029 ................................................................................................................... 101.500%

2030 and thereafter ................................................................................................ 100.000%

The indenture pursuant to which the 2033 Senior Notes were issued contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The indenture also contains customary negative covenants.

We were in compliance with the covenants related to the 2033 Senior Notes as of December 31, 2025.

*Other Debt and Other Items*

Other debt consists primarily of obligations under capital leases and loans, and unsecured credit facilities. The unsecured credit facilities are primarily used for standby letters of credit issued in connection with general and professional liability insurance programs and for contract performance guarantees. At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, these outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $926.6 million and $899.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had $399.0 million available under these unsecured credit facilities.

*Effective Interest Rate*

Our average effective interest rate on our total debt, including the effects of the interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively.

Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations included amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $1.4 million and for the three months ended December 31, 2024 of $1.4 million.

*Other Commitments*

We enter into various joint venture arrangements to provide architectural, engineering, program management, construction management and operations and maintenance services. The ownership percentage of these joint ventures is typically representative of the work to be performed or the amount of risk assumed by each joint venture partner. Some of these joint ventures are considered variable interest entities. We have consolidated all joint ventures for which we have control. For all others, our portion of the earnings is recorded in equity in earnings of joint ventures. See Note 5, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Other than normal property and equipment additions and replacements, expenditures to further the implementation of our various information technology systems, commitments under our incentive compensation programs, amounts we may expend to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and acquisitions from time to time and disposition costs, we currently do not have any significant capital expenditures or outlays planned except as described below. However, if we acquire additional businesses in the future or if we embark on other capital-intensive initiatives, additional working capital may be required.

Under the New Revolving Credit Facility and other facilities discussed in Other Debt and Other Items above, as of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $931.0 million, including both continuing and discontinued operations, outstanding under standby letters of credit primarily issued in connection with general and professional liability insurance programs and for contract performance guarantees. For those projects for which we have issued a performance guarantee, if the project subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to achieve the required performance standards.

We recognized on our balance sheet the funded status of our pension benefit plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. At December 31, 2025, our defined benefit pension plans had an aggregate deficit (the excess of projected benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets) of approximately $77.2 million. The total amounts of employer contributions paid for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $2.4 million for U.S. plans and $6.4 million for non-U.S. plans. Funding requirements for each plan are determined based on the local laws of the country where such plan resides. In some countries, the funding requirements are mandatory while in other countries, they are discretionary. There is a required minimum contribution for one of our domestic plans; however, we may make additional discretionary contributions. In the future, such pension funding may increase or decrease depending on changes in the levels of interest rates, pension plan performance and other factors. In addition, we have collective bargaining agreements with unions that require us to contribute to various third-party multiemployer plans that we do not control or manage. For the year ended September 30, 2025, we contributed $2.7 million to multiemployer pension plans.

*Contractual Obligations*

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025 for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There have been no changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

*Condensed Combined Financial Information*

The 2033 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by some of AECOM's directly and indirectly 100% owned subsidiaries (the Subsidiary Guarantors). Accordingly, AECOM became subject to the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as amended, regarding financial statements of guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities. Other than customary restrictions imposed by applicable statutes, there are no restrictions on the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to transfer funds to AECOM in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.

The following tables present condensed combined summarized financial information for AECOM and the Subsidiary Guarantors. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in the presentation of the combined financial statements. Amounts provided do not represent our total consolidated amounts as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, and for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

**New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting**

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our accounting policies often require management to make significant estimates and assumptions using information available at the time the estimates are made. Such estimates and assumptions significantly affect various reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. If future experience differs significantly from these estimates and assumptions, our results of operations and financial condition could be affected.

The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), and "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7 of the 2025 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We have not materially changed our estimation methodology since the 2025 Form 10-K.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

**Financial Market Risks**

***Financial Market Risks***

We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate exposure of our debt obligations that bear interest based on floating rates. We actively monitor these exposures. Our objective is to reduce, where we deem appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. In order to accomplish this objective, we sometimes enter into derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts and interest rate hedge contracts. It is our policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage our exposures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

***Foreign Exchange Rates***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from our operations outside of the U.S. We use foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to mitigate foreign currency risk. 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. The functional currency of our significant foreign operations is the respective local currency.

***Interest Rates***

Our Credit Agreement and other debt obligations are subject to variable rate interest which could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had $1,438.2 million and $1,439.9 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under our term credit agreements and revolving credit facility. Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreements is subject to adjustment based on specified levels of financial performance. The applicable margin that is added to the borrowing's base rate can range from 0.125% to 1.00% and the applicable margin that is added to borrowings in the Term SOFR rate can range from 1.125% to 2.00%. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, our weighted average floating rate borrowings were $1,629.1 million, or $929.1 million excluding borrowings with effective fixed interest rates due to interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements. If short-term floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 would have increased by $3.1 million. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of money market securities or other highly liquid, short-term securities that are subject to minimal credit and market risk.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

Based on management's evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), were effective as of December 31, 2025 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i918a309f768c4cd4ad2b524ebc0f818c_7)</u>

the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Legal Proceedings**

As a government contractor, we are subject to various laws and regulations that are more restrictive than those applicable to non-government contractors. Intense government scrutiny of contractors' compliance with those laws and regulations through audits and investigations is inherent in government contracting; and from time to time, we receive inquiries, subpoenas, and similar demands related to our ongoing business with government entities. Violations can result in civil or criminal liability as well as suspension or debarment from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or option renewals.

We are involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits in the normal conduct of our business. We are not always aware if we or our affiliates are under investigation or the status of such matters. Although the outcome of our legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurances can be provided, in the opinion of our management, based upon current information and discussions with counsel, with the exception of the matters noted in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements contained in this report to the extent stated therein, none of the investigations, claims and lawsuits in which we are involved is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our ability to conduct business. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the financial statements contained in this report for a discussion of certain matters to which we are a party. The information set forth in such note is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

**Item 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Risk Factors**

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

**PEP25 Grant Award Agreement**

**TERM SHEET**

This Term Sheet includes important information concerning your Performance Earnings Program ("PEP") award for Fiscal Year 2026 ("PEP26"). The PEP26 award is subject to the Standard Terms and Conditions for Performance Earnings Program, including Attachment A thereto, and the AECOM 2020 Stock Incentive Plan attached hereto (together, the "Plan Documents").

The highlights of the PEP26 award include, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

**Performance Period**: Fiscal years 2026 – 2028.

**Performance Measures**: Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"), Average Adjusted Earnings per Share ("EPS") Growth, and Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), equally weighted. ROIC and Relative TSR are measured over a single three-year period covering fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028. Average Adjusted EPS Growth measures EPS growth in fiscal year 2026, average EPS growth in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and average EPS growth in fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028.

**Vesting**: Earned PEP units shall generally cliff vest 100% on December 15, 2028 (the "Scheduled Vesting Date"), subject to your continued employment at AECOM through such date. If your employment at AECOM ends prior to this date, you will generally forfeit the entire award, except that you may be eligible for payment of all or a portion of the award if your employment ends due to death, disability, retirement, or in a Severance-Eligible Termination (as defined below).

**Taxation**: PEP awards issued in the U.S. are generally subject to federal and state income tax, FICA, and other state employment taxes on or about the settlement date, except that FICA may be due in an earlier year of vesting in certain cases. PEP awards issued outside the U.S. are generally taxed on the vesting date under local tax laws. Please consult a tax advisor for information specific to your individual facts and circumstances.

**Award Payout**: Your PEP award payout will range from 0% to 200% of target based on attainment of performance goals and your continued employment, and payment will generally be in the form shares of AECOM common stock. The payout will be reduced for any required tax withholding unless you elect in advance of vesting to pay the taxes yourself and you have sufficient cash balances within your personal Merrill Lynch brokerage account to remit the amount of the required tax withholding to AECOM at the time that such tax withholding is due (or make other arrangement to timely satisfy such obligations as may be permitted under the Plan Documents). The remaining AECOM shares earned (net of applicable taxes) will be deposited into your Merrill Lynch brokerage account as soon as administratively possible following the Scheduled Vesting Date, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date (or if PEPs vest in connection with an employment termination due to death or disability, no later than the 15th day of the third month following such termination, with the exact date of settlement within such payment window determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion).

**Grant Acceptance:** You must accept your PEP grant online at www.benefits.ml.com before you can receive payment of your vested PEP award. If you do not accept your PEP grant within 60 days after the award is granted, your award may be cancelled in the discretion of the Administrator.

**AECOM**

**STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PERFORMANCE EARNINGS PROGRAM**

These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of Performance Earnings Program ("PEP") units granted to an employee of the Company on or after March 10, 2020, under the AECOM 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the "Plan"), which are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Administrator that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.TERMS OF PEP UNITS

AECOM, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has granted to the Participant named in the term sheet (including Attachment A thereto) provided to said Participant herewith, or otherwise provided electronically or included on the stock administrator's online grant summary page (such materials, collectively, the "Term Sheet") an opportunity to earn a target number of PEP units (the "Award") specified in the Term Sheet. Each PEP unit, if earned, represents the right to receive one share of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), together with a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the aggregate of all Common Stock per share dividends (if any) with an *ex dividend* date occurring while the PEP unit to which such share relates was outstanding and prior to the payment of such PEP unit (a "Dividend Equivalent"), in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context requires otherwise, include a reference to any Subsidiary, as such term is defined in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.EARNOUT OF PEP UNITS

The number of PEP units earned under the Award shall be determined according to attainment of the Performance Objectives and Performance Earnout Schedule specified in the Term Sheet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.VESTING OF PEP UNITS

The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Term Sheet and shall be forfeitable unless and until the Award vests pursuant to the terms of the Term Sheet and these Standard Terms and Conditions. After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan (or as may otherwise be provided by any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Company benefit plan), the Award shall become vested as described in the Term Sheet with respect to the number of PEP units earned as set forth in the Term Sheet; provided that (except as set forth in Section 6 below) the Participant does not experience a Termination of Employment (as defined in the Plan) prior to the Award becoming vested. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Term Sheet to the contrary, if a date on which PEP units subject to the Award would vest is not a business day, the applicable portion of the Award shall vest on the prior business day. PEP units

------

granted under the Award that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as "Vested Units." PEP units granted under the Award that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as "Unvested Units." The vesting period of the Award may be adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion to reflect any decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, provided that the Administrator may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company or tax consequences in making any such adjustment. Dividend Equivalents shall accrue and remain unvested with respect to Unvested Units and shall vest, if at all, at the same time or times as the Unvested Units to which the Dividend Equivalents relate. Dividend Equivalents shall not accrue interest.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any Transaction, Section 12 of the Plan shall apply to the Award, except as otherwise provided in any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Transaction or any Company benefit plan or written policy in effect and applicable to the Participant at the time of such Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.SETTLEMENT OF PEP UNITS

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6 below, each earned Vested Unit will be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary, promptly following the Scheduled Vesting Date (but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date or, if PEPs vest in connection with an employment termination due to death or disability, no later than the 15th day of the third month following such termination, with the exact date of settlement within such payment window determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion); provided that the Participant has satisfied all of the tax withholding obligations described in Section 8 below, and that the Participant has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Administrator deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Common Stock. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder may be effected by the issuance of a stock certificate, recording shares on the stock records of the Company or by crediting shares in an account established on the Participant's behalf with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in each case as determined by the Administrator. Fractional shares will not be issued pursuant to the Award, and will instead be rounded down.

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock during any period when the Company determines that the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any federal, state or other applicable laws, (ii) the Company may issue shares of Common Stock hereunder subject to any restrictive legends that, as determined by the Company's counsel, are necessary to comply with securities or other regulatory requirements, and (iii) the date on which shares are issued hereunder may include a delay in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to address tax withholding and other administrative matters

------

(which delay shall in no event extend beyond 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date).

Dividend Equivalents shall be settled in cash (net of applicable tax withholding) at the same time, and upon the same conditions, if applicable, as the earned Vested Units to which they relate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

Prior to any issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Award, no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or earmarked for the Participant or the Participant's account nor shall the Participant have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares. With the exception of Dividend Equivalents (which shall be settled, if at all, in the form of cash), pursuant to the terms hereof, the Participant will not be entitled to any privileges of ownership of the shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, any voting rights) underlying Vested Units and/or Unvested Units unless and until shares of Common Stock are actually delivered to the Participant hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Upon the date of the Participant's Termination of Employment (as defined in the Plan) for any reason, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6 or in any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Company's Change in Control Severance Policy for Key Executives (the "CIC Severance Plan"), the Company's Senior Leadership Severance Plan (the "SLSP"), the Company's Enterprise Leadership Severance Plan ("the ELSP"), the Company's Leadership Severance Plan (the "LSP", and together with the CIC Severance Plan, the SLSP, the ELSP, and any other applicable plan or agreement that provides for accelerated vesting or similar rights that may apply to the Award, the "Severance Plans"), each if applicable, all Unvested Units shall be forfeited by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same treatment upon the Participant's Termination of Employment as the Vested Units or Unvested Units to which they relate. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of any notice or severance period required by any applicable law, in no event shall the Participant's entitlement to or receipt of pay in lieu of notice or severance pay under any statute, contract or at common law serve to extend the effective date of Participant's Termination of Employment for any purpose under this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the death of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, (i) the Award will be eligible to vest in full; (ii) the number of Vested Units will be determined based on the Company's actual performance relative to the Performance Objectives (as defined in the Term Sheet) through the date of such Termination of Employment in a manner determined by the

------

Administrator in its sole discretion; and (iii) each earned Vested Unit will be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date of such Termination of Employment. Any unearned/unvested PEP units (after taking into consideration the foregoing vesting acceleration, if any) shall be forfeited upon the Termination of Employment by the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the Total and Permanent Disablement of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, subject to the Participant's (or the Participant's legal guardian's) execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination, (i) the Award will be eligible to vest in full; (ii) the number of Vested Units will be determined based on the Company's actual performance relative to the Performance Objectives through the date of the such Termination of Employment in a manner determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; and (iii) each earned Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following such Termination of Employment. Any unearned/unvested PEP units (after taking into consideration the foregoing vesting acceleration, if any) shall be forfeited upon the Termination of Employment by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "Total and Permanent Disablement" means that the Participant has become entitled to benefits under an applicable long-term disability policy of the Company or, if no such policy covers the Participant, then Total and Permanent Disablement means that the person has become disabled within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (or any successor provision thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.(i) If Termination of Employment occurs as a result of the Retirement of a Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of such Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of all claims and a non-solicitation and/or non-competition agreement in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination (and continued compliance therewith), (a) the Award will remain outstanding and eligible to vest following the Termination of Employment due to Retirement; (b) the number of Vested Units will be determined based on the Company's actual performance relative to the Performance Objectives through the end of the Performance Period; and (c) each earned Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction

------

of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant in accordance with Section 4 above (i.e., no later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date). Any unearned/unvested PEP units shall be forfeited by the Participant as of the date such PEP units can no longer be eligible to vest according to their terms and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "Retirement" means retirement from active employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries at such time that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (a) the Participant has reached the age of fifty-five (55); (b) the number of years of the Participant's service with the Company or its Subsidiaries is greater than or equal to five (5); (c) the sum, rounded down to the nearest whole number, of the Participant's age (measured to two decimal points) and the number of years (measured to two decimal points) of uninterrupted service with the Company or its Subsidiaries is greater than or equal to sixty-five (65), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Participant has provided the Company with at least nine (9) months' prior written notice of the Participant's intent to retire (a "Retirement Notice"). In addition, in order to constitute a Retirement to which this Section 6.C applies, following the Participant's delivery of a Retirement Notice, (a) the Participant shall continue performing the same or similar job duties that were performed prior to notice being provided, maintaining good standing with the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) and attending meetings with clients, successors, and other stakeholders; and (b) the Participant shall perform such activities as may be requested by the Company to help identify a successor and transition duties and responsibilities during such period (clauses (a) and (b) together, the "Pre-Retirement Employment Duties"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant was eligible for Retirement as of December 2022 under Company guidelines in effect prior to December 2022, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, then the Participant shall be eligible to terminate employment due to Retirement at any time, except that in order to terminate due to Retirement, the Participant must nevertheless provide the Company a Retirement Notice (*i.e.*, at least nine (9) months' prior written notice of the Participant's intent to retire) and, following the Participant's delivery of a Retirement Notice, the Participant must perform the Pre-Retirement Employment Duties as provided above, maintaining good standing with the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) throughout such period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that the Participant has not fulfilled the Pre-Retirement Employment Duties, the Award shall be forfeited by the Participant upon the date of the Termination of Employment and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. The determination of the Administrator as to an individual's Retirement (including eligibility for Retirement) shall be conclusive on all parties. For clarity, following the Participant's delivery of any Retirement Notice, the Participant's employment with the Company and its

------

Subsidiaries shall automatically terminate without further action by any part on the last day of the nine (9)-month period specified in the Retirement Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.Upon Termination of Employment as a result of which the Participant becomes entitled to severance payments and/or benefits under any Severance Plan, which benefits include any service-vesting credit, accelerated service-vesting or similar benefit applicable to the Award ("Accelerated Service-Vesting" and, any such termination of employment, a "Severance-Eligible Termination"), subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination (which for clarity, may be satisfied by the Participant's execution of any release required under the applicable Severance Plan), the Award will satisfy applicable service-vesting conditions solely to the extent provided in the applicable Severance Plan, and each PEP unit subject to such Accelerated Service-Vesting will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) remain outstanding and eligible to be earned hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and if so earned, shall be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date. Any unearned/unvested PEP units (after taking into consideration the foregoing Accelerated Service-Vesting, if any) shall be forfeited by the Participant as of the date such PEP units cease to be eligible to vest and be earned according to their terms, and shall be cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant as of such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.Upon Termination of Employment for Cause, all Vested Units and Unvested Units shall be forfeited by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of Vested Units, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (c) restrictions in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of the Company's securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, (d) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers, and (e) provisions requiring Shares to be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

At no time will the Participant have the right to require the Company to purchase from the Participant any Shares acquired by the Participant under the Award. Any Shares acquired by such Participant under the Award may not be repurchased by the Company

------

for a period of six (6) months following the date on which the Participant acquired such Shares pursuant to the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.INCOME TAXES

The Participant will be subject to federal and state income and other tax withholding requirements on a date (generally, the Settlement Date, although certain federal "FICA" taxes may become due in an earlier vesting year) determined by applicable law (any such date, the "Taxable Date"), based on the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the units that are vested and earned together with the value of any related Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will be solely responsible for the payment of all U.S. federal income and other taxes, including any state, local or non-

U.S. income or employment tax obligation that may be related to the Vested Units and Dividend Equivalents and imposed on the Participant, including any such taxes that are required to be withheld and paid to the applicable tax authorities (the "Tax Withholding Obligation"). The Participant will be responsible for the satisfaction of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Administrator at its sole discretion.

By accepting the Award the Participant agrees that, unless and to the extent the Participant has otherwise satisfied the Tax Withholding Obligations in a manner permitted or required by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to withhold from the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Participant in respect of Vested Units the whole number of shares (rounded down) having a value (as determined by the Company consistent with any applicable tax requirements) on the Taxable Date or the first trading day before the Taxable Date sufficient to satisfy the applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may accelerate the time of settlement of a number of earned/vested Units sufficient in value to cover any required withholding of FICA taxes (together with any taxes arising as a result of the settlement of such earned/Vested Units) arising in a vesting year prior to the year of settlement of such earned/Vested Units, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(vi). If any withheld shares are not sufficient to satisfy the Participant's Tax Withholding Obligation, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the withholding of shares of Common Stock described above.

At any time not less than five (5) business days before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a Settlement Date), the Participant may elect to satisfy all or any part of the Participant's Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the Company determines is sufficient (in light of the uncertainty of the exact amount thereof) to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (i) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (ii) delivery of a personal check payable to the Company, or (iii) such other means as specified from time to time by the Administrator; in each case unless the Company has specified prior to such date that the Participant is not permitted to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by any such means. The Administrator may, in its discretion, permit or require that the Tax Withholding Obligation be satisfied by the Participant providing instruction and authorization to the Company and a brokerage firm designated by the Company to sell on the Participant's

------

behalf a whole number of shares of Common Stock from those shares issued to the Participant in respect of Vested Units as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation. If this "sell to cover" method of payment is permitted (and elected) or required, the applicable shares of Common Stock will be sold on the Taxable Date or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Participant will be responsible for all broker's fees and other costs of sale, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. The number of shares sold may be determined by considering any applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, and to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company shall make such arrangement as it determines appropriate to credit such amount for the Participant's benefit and the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has no entitlement to the equivalent in shares. The Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale.

The Company may refuse to issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant or settle any Dividend Equivalents until the Participant satisfies the Tax Withholding Obligation. The Participant acknowledges that the Company has the right to retain, without notice, from shares issuable under the Award or from salary, or other amounts payable to the Participant, shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation.

The Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by the Participant in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes or any transaction pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant, issuance, vesting or settlement of the Award, or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Common Stock underlying Vested Units. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's tax liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Participant may not assign, transfer or pledge the Award or, prior to the vesting and settlement of the Award, the shares of Common Stock subject thereto or any right or interest therein to anyone other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company may cancel the Participant's Award if the Participant attempts to assign or transfer it in a manner inconsistent with this Section 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

In addition to these Terms and Conditions, the Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference. Certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Plan controls.

------

The Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARD

Neither the Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Term Sheet or these Standard Terms and Conditions except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, as shall have been issued to such person in respect of Vested Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.NOT A CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT

Nothing in the Plan, in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company's employ or service nor limit in any way the Company's right to terminate the Participant's employment at any time for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.SECTION 409A

It is intended that this Award and any payments or benefits made or provided under the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions shall comply with Section 409A of the Code, or an exemption from or exception to Section 409A of the Code, and will be interpreted, applied and administered accordingly. Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company have any liability under the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent any payment or benefit in respect of this Award is considered deferred compensation subject to (and not exempt from) the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code and to the extent the Participant is considered a specified employee (as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) at the time of his or her separation from service (as determined under Section 409A), such payment may not be made as a result of the Participant's separation from service before the date that is six months after the Participant's separation form service (or, if earlier, the Participant's death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month plus one day following the Participant's separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant's death). To the extent required under Section 409A, any payment hereunder that may be made in connection with a Termination of Employment or any similar construct shall only be paid upon the Participant's separation from service. If the period during which an award payout may be made spans more than one calendar year, then the actual date of such payment shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and in no event shall the Participant dictate or influence the timing of such payment.

This arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Administrator's decision, and the Participant and any other holder hereby explicitly waive any right to judicial review.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.ELECTRONIC DELIVERY & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Company may, at its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to any awards granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Participant's consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.

**Attachment A to Term Sheet**

**AECOM**

**PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND EARNOUT SCHEDULE FY26 PERFORMANCE EARNINGS PROGRAM**

This schedule outlines the performance conditions attached to the vesting of the PEP award.

The PEP award is administered in accordance with provisions of the AECOM 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and associated documents, including this Performance Objectives and Earnout Schedule and the Standard Terms and Conditions as established by the Administrator.

The amount of PEP units that may be earned will be determined based on the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Performance Objective** | **Weighting** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Relative Total Shareholder Return | 1/3<sup>rd</sup> |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Return on Invested Capital | 1/3<sup>rd</sup> |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Average Adjusted Earnings Per Share Growth | 1/3<sup>rd</sup> |

---

Details of each Performance Objective as well as the Performance Earnout Schedule for each objective is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")**

Relative TSR is tied to the percentile level at which the Company's TSR over the period from October 1, 2025 through and including September 30, 2028 (the "Performance Period") stands in relation to the TSR for that same period of the companies comprising the S&P MidCap 400 Index (the "Percentile Rank") at the beginning of the performance period on October 1, 2025, rounded to the nearest 0.1%.

TSR is calculated for AECOM and each company in the Comparator Group as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| TSR = | <u>(Ending</u> <u>Stock</u> <u>Price</u> <u>–</u> <u>Beginning</u> <u>Stock</u> <u>Price)</u> <u>+</u> <u>Reinvested</u> <u>Dividends</u>  |
| TSR = | Beginning Stock Price |

---

For such purpose, the Administrator will consider the following: <u>Performance Period Start Date</u>. October 1, 2025.

<u>Performance</u> <u>Period</u> <u>End</u> <u>Date</u>. September 30, 2028.

<u>Beginning Stock Price</u>. Defined as the trailing 30 calendar day average closing stock price of the applicable company, ending on the day immediately prior to the Performance Period Start Date.

------

<u>Ending</u> <u>Stock</u> <u>Price</u>. Defined as the trailing 30 calendar day average closing stock price of the applicable company ending on the Performance Period End Date.

<u>Reinvested Dividends</u>. Defined, with respect to any company, as (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock (including fractional shares) that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share of the company's common stock during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares of the same common stock (or fractional shares) at the closing selling price per share of such common stock on the applicable ex-dividend date multiplied by (ii) Ending Stock Price.

<u>Comparator</u> <u>Group</u>. The Comparator Group for purposes of the PEP award will consist of the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index on October 1, 2025.

In the event that a member of the Comparator Group experiences any of the following events during the Performance Period, the following treatment shall apply:

<u>Acquisition</u>: If a member of the Comparator Group is acquired during the Performance Period, the member is removed from the Comparator Group;

<u>Bankruptcy</u>: If a member of the Comparator Group becomes insolvent or bankrupt, as determined by the Administrator, during the Performance Period, the member will remain in the Comparator Group. For the avoidance of doubt, such member could potentially have -100% TSR;

<u>Delisting</u>: If a member becomes delisted from an exchange on which it is listed, the member will remain in the Comparator Group so long as the company is still trading on a market where an independent share price can be determined (i.e., an over-the- counter market). Once a share price can no longer be determined, treatment of the member's results will follow based on the reason for delisting (e.g., acquisition, merger, privatization, bankruptcy, etc.);

<u>Merger</u>: If two members merge with each other, the newly formed company will remain in the Comparator Group while the deactivated member will be removed;

<u>Privatization</u>: If a member becomes a private company during the Performance Period, the member is removed from the Comparator Group; and

<u>Spin-off</u>: If a member spins-off one or more subsidiaries or other affiliated entities during the Performance Period, the member will remain in the Comparator Group. The spun off entity will not be added to the Comparator Group. The spin-off will be treated in the same manner as a regular cash dividend paid by that member in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock (or fractional share thereof) of the spun- off entity provided.

<u>Capitalization Adjustments</u>: Calculations and definitions shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question

------

without the issuer's receipt of consideration, in each case, as determined by the Administrator.

<u>Performance Earnout Schedule</u>: The following schedule shall apply to determine what percentage of the target PEP units is earned after the Performance Period in order to determine the final earned percentage (with straight-line interpolation for performance between the levels listed in the schedule and the maximum payout in all circumstances being 200%):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Percent Earned | 0% | 100% | 200% |
| Percentile Rank | 25th | 50th | 75th |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC")**

ROIC performance objective is a 3-Year Average ROIC of AECOM less all at-risk self-perform businesses to be sold equal to (a) the average of fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028 Adjusted Net Operating Profit After Taxes ("Adj. NOPAT") divided by (b) the Average Quarterly Invested Capital over fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028 of (c)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.Adj. NOPAT is the sum of Adjusted Attributable Net Income and Adjusted Interest Expense net of Interest Income (tax effected at a normalized 24% rate for FY2026, FY2027 and FY2028). Adjusted Attributable Net Income is the Net Income Available to Common Stockholders excluding foreign exchange gains/losses on forward contracts related to financing, acquisition and integration related expenses, transaction related expenses, transformational restructuring related expenses, financing charges in interest expense, the amortization of intangible assets, and financial impacts associated with expected and actual dispositions of non-core businesses and assets. Adjusted Interest Expense excludes financing charges in interest expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.Invested Capital is the sum of the Attributable Shareholders Equity plus Total Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents. Quarterly Invested Capital is the beginning and ending balance of each respective quarter excluding (1) any balance with respect to all at-risk businesses to be sold and (2) changes to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (i.e., it is held flat at Q4 FY2025 ending actuals).

<u>Performance Earnout Schedule</u>: The following schedule shall apply to determine what percentage of the target PEP units is earned after the Performance Period in order to determine the final earned percentage (with straight-line interpolation for performance between the levels listed in the schedule and the maximum payout in all circumstances being 200%):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Percent Earned | 0% | 100% | 200% |
| 3-Year Average ROIC | [\*\*\*]% | [\*\*\*]% | [\*\*\*]% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.Average Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Growth**

The Average Adjusted EPS Growth performance objective is measured over fiscal years 2026,

------

2027, and 2028 reflecting the performance of the Company, enterprise-wide, less all at-risk businesses to be sold.

Adjusted EPS is calculated as (a) Adjusted Attributable Net Income (as defined in Section 2.i.) divided by (b) the Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding, on a diluted basis, for a fiscal year.

The percentage earned from Average Adjusted EPS Growth is calculated as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.An amount equal to one-third of the PEP units subject to the Average Adjusted EPS Growth performance objective multiplied by the Percent Earned detailed below based upon the growth in Adjusted EPS from fiscal year 2025 (assumed to be $5.25) to fiscal year 2026; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.An amount, not less than zero, equal to (A) two-thirds of the PEP units subject to the Average Adjusted EPS Growth performance objective multiplied by the Percent Earned detailed below based upon the average growth in Adjusted EPS in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 compared to the respective prior fiscal year minus (B) the amount determined pursuant to subsection i. above; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.An amount, not less than zero, equal to (A) the total number of PEP units subject to the Average Adjusted EPS Growth performance objective multiplied by the Percent Earned detailed below based upon the average growth in Adjusted EPS in fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028 compared to the respective prior fiscal year minus (B) the amount determined pursuant to subsection i. and ii. above.

------

<u>Performance Earnout Schedule</u>: The following schedule shall apply to determine what percentage of the target PEP units is earned through each period (with straight-line interpolation for performance between the levels listed in the schedule and the maximum payout in all circumstances being 200%):

From Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.Adjustments**

Without limiting any other provision in the Term Sheet, the Standard Terms and Conditions (including Attachment A) or the Plan, ROIC and Adjusted EPS, as applicable, shall, for purposes of the Award, be adjusted to eliminate or mitigate the impact of each of the following events not otherwise reflected in the determination, in each case, to the extent and in such manner as the Administrator may determine appropriate in its sole discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.if there are government funding reductions impacting our business as a result of sequestration, government shutdown or similar event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.goodwill and other non-cash impairment charges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.a) costs associated with unplanned acquisition or divestiture of a business in the initial year only; b) merger and acquisition related transaction and integration costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.changes in applicable accounting guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.changes in applicable tax laws, tariffs, or trade policies that cover or impact the Company or any Affiliate (as such term is defined under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi.any civil, regional or world war, "Force Majeure", plague, epidemic, pandemic, outbreaks of infectious disease or any other public health crisis, including quarantine or other employee restrictions that affect the business of the Company in a particular country or countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii.transaction expense related to financing activities including private placement notes,

------

public bond financing, and issuance of convertible debt and other equity or equity-like instruments;

viii.net income gains or losses related to any change in the estimated fair value of any acquisition related accrued liability or contingency and any costs associated with the resolution thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ix.transformational restructuring related costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;x.currency fluctuations

**ANNEX A**

This <u>Annex A</u> includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of PEPs to a Participant under the Plan if the Participant renders services, resides or is otherwise subject to tax in one of the countries listed herein. If a Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working or transfers to another country after the grant of the PEPs or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In these circumstances the Participant undertakes to inform the Company about the foregoing. The Company reserves the right to determine in its discretion to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant under these circumstances, subject at all time to local law requirements. All capitalized terms that are used in this <u>Annex A</u> and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the PEP Grant Award Agreement (the "Award Agreement") to which this <u>Annex A</u> is attached.

**<u>CANADA</u>**

**This Agreement is amended to include the following additional terms and conditions, and to make the following modifications, for those Participants who are rendering their services in Canada:**

For Participants in Canada, the term "continued employment" as used in the Term Sheet and Plan Documents shall mean that the Participant must be employed by the Company and must not have resigned or retired and, in the event that the Participant's employment is terminated for any reason by the Company, including unlawful or constructive termination (termination does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period), the "continued employment" period will include only the period up to the termination date plus the remaining minimum period of statutory notice (if any) required by provincial employment standards legislation as may be amended or superseded. More particularly, the period of "continued employment" does not include any common law notice period beyond any minimum required statutory notice period. In accepting the Award, the Participant agrees that if a court were to ever award the Participant common law notice, notwithstanding the termination provisions of the Award Agreement, the Plan Documents or the Participant's employment agreement, that the period of any such notice award, beyond any minimum entitlements to statutory notice, is not included in the "continued employment" period.

In Canada, as the Award is meant to recognize continuous, full-time and active service at the Company, the vesting period of the Award may be adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion to reflect any decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, provided that the Administrator may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company or tax consequences in making any such adjustment and subject at all times to the Company's obligations under applicable human rights legislation.

In Canada, if the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason, including unlawful or constructive termination, (termination does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period), the Participant's "Termination of Employment" for the purposes of the Award and the Plan Documents will not occur until the end of any minimum period of statutory notice (if any) required by provincial employment standards legislation as may be amended or superseded. If the Participant

------

resigns or retires, "Termination of Employment" will occur on the day the employee ceases to serve the Company, and does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period. For certainty, the Canadian Participants' Termination of Employment will occur on the later of (i) the day the employee ceases to serve the Company or (ii) the last day of the minimum statutory notice period required by the applicable provincial employment standards legislation. Canadian Participants are not eligible to continue participating in the Award through any common law notice period beyond the minimum statutory notice period (if any), and Canadian Participants are not entitled to damages in lieu of continued participation in the Award through any common law notice period beyond the minimum statutory notice period (if any). In accepting the Award, each Canadian Participant agrees that if a court were to ever award common law notice, notwithstanding the termination provisions of any Standard Terms and Conditions in the Award Agreement, the Plan Documents, or the applicable employment agreement, that the period of any such notice award, beyond any minimum entitlements to statutory notice, will not extend the Termination of Employment date for purposes of the Award. For clarity, the definition of "Termination of Employment" referenced in section 6(f)(ii) of the Plan does not apply to Canadian Participants.

For additional clarity, no Canadian Participants are eligible to participate in or receive any of the Awards or Incentive Bonuses under the Plan or the Award Agreement following their Termination of Employment (except as explicitly allowed in the Plan Documents).

Further, the term "Cause" as used in the Plan and the Award Agreement shall, for Participants in Ontario, Canada, mean only wilful misconduct, disobedience or wilful neglect of duty that is not trivial and has not been condoned by the Company.

In addition, any references to terminating the Participant's employment "at any time" throughout the Plan Documents, for Ontario Participants shall mean "at any time permitted by applicable law".

The application of the provisions of the Plan Documents with respect to Total and Permanent Disablement will be subject at all times to applicable human rights provision in the province in which the Canadian Participant is employed.

With respect to section 15 of the Plan, the Suspension or Termination of Awards will be subject at all times to the requirements of applicable employment standards legislation.

With respect to subsection 19(b) of the Plan, the Administrator's discretion to waive or amend the operation of the Plan provisions respecting exercise after Termination of Employment or service to the Company or an affiliate shall only be exercised in compliance with applicable employment standards legislation.

With respect to section 24 of the Plan, the arbitration of disputes will be subject at all times to any mandatory dispute resolution process provided under statute.

For clarity, in Canada, this Annex A supersedes the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, and in the event of a conflict between this Annex A and the terms of the Plan and Award Agreement, the parties agree to defer to the terms of this Annex A. Except as expressly modified by the terms of this Annex A, all other terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement continue to apply and remain in full force and effect.

------

**<u>UNITED KINGDOM</u>**

**The Performance Earnings Program ("PEP") Unit Award Agreement is amended to include the following additional terms and conditions, and to make the following modifications, for those Participants who are employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the United Kingdom (and notwithstanding any other provision of this PEP Unit Award Agreement, in the event of any conflict with the terms of the Plan, the below provisions shall apply):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.All references in the Plan Documents to the "laws of descent and distribution" shall be read instead to refer to the "laws of descent and distribution or intestacy".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.All references in the Plan Documents to terminating the Participant's employment "at any time [or] for any reason" shall be removed and be replaced by ", in accordance with applicable law".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.All references in the Plan Documents "tax withholding" or "withholding tax" shall include any amount of income tax and social security contributions (including UK National Insurance contributions) or similar sums required by law to be withheld or in respect of which the Company is otherwise liable to account for and/or pay in relation to an Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.For the purposes of <u>Section 4</u> (*Settlement of PEP Units*) and <u>paragraph A</u> of <u>Section 6</u> (*Termination of Employment*) of the <u>Standard Terms and Conditions for PEP</u> references to the "Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary" shall be read instead to refer to the "Participant's estate, heir, beneficiary or personal representative(s)".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.The following shall be included as a new <u>second paragraph</u> of <u>Section 4</u> (*Settlement of PEP Units*):

"The Participant agrees that, as a condition of participation in the Plan, the award of the PEP Award and any issue or transfer of Shares thereunder, the Company may require the Participant to enter into any election for tax purposes that the Company (in its absolute discretion) deems necessary and/or desirable, including (without limitation) an election under section 431(1) of the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Paragraph B</u> of <u>Section 6</u> (*Termination of Employment*) shall be replaced as follows:

"Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the disability of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, subject to the Participant's (or the Participant's legal guardian's) execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination, (i) the Award will be eligible to vest in full; (ii) the number of Vested Units will be determined based on the Company's actual performance relative to the Performance Objectives through the date of the such Termination of Employment in a manner determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; and (iii) each earned Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to

------

adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following such Termination of Employment. Any unearned/unvested PEP units (after taking into consideration the foregoing vesting acceleration, if any) shall be forfeited upon the Termination of Employment by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "disability" means that the Participant has become entitled to benefits under an applicable long-term disability policy of the Company or, if no such policy covers the Participant, then "disability" means that the person has become disabled in the Company's absolute discretion (acting reasonably)."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Paragraph (ii)</u> of <u>paragraph C</u> of <u>Section 6</u> (*Termination of Employment*) shall be replaced as follows:

"For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "Retirement" means retirement from active employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided that the Participant has provided the Company with at least nine (9) months' prior written notice of the Participant's intent to retire (a "Retirement Notice"). In addition, in order to constitute a Retirement to which this Section 6.C applies, following the Participant's delivery of a Retirement Notice, (a) the Participant shall continue performing the same or similar job duties that were performed prior to notice being provided, maintaining good standing with the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) and attending meetings with clients, successors, and other stakeholders; and (b) the Participant shall perform such activities as may be requested by the Company to help identify a successor and transition duties and responsibilities during such period (clauses (a) and (b) together, the "Pre-Retirement Employment Duties"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that the Participant has not fulfilled the Pre-Retirement Employment Duties, the Award shall be forfeited by the Participant upon the date of the Termination of Employment and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. The determination of the Administrator as to an individual's Retirement shall be conclusive on all parties. For clarity, following the Participant's delivery of any Retirement Notice, the Participant's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall automatically terminate without further action by any part on the last day of the nine (9)-month period specified in the Retirement Notice."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.The <u>first paragraph</u> of <u>Section 8</u> (*Income Taxes*) shall be replaced as follows:

The Participant will be solely responsible for the payment or bearing the cost of all U.S. federal income and other taxes, including any state, local or non-U.S. income taxes and social security contributions (including UK National Insurance contributions) or in respect of which the Company is otherwise liable to account for and/or pay related to the Vested Units and

"The Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for bearing the cost of all taxes in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes or any transaction pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the tax treatment of the grant, issuance, vesting or settlement of the Award, or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Common Stock underlying Vested Units. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's tax liability."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.The following shall be included as a new <u>second paragrap</u>h of <u>Section 12</u> (*Not a Contract for Employment*):

"If upon the Participant's Termination of Employment, lawfully or otherwise, the Participant loses any rights or benefits under this Agreement or in respect of any shares of Common Stock (including rights or benefits that the Participant would not have lost had there not been a Termination of Employment), the Participant is not entitled to any compensation for such loss of rights."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The definition of "Retirement" at <u>paragraph (r)</u> of <u>Section 2</u> (*Definitions*) shall be replaced as follows:

Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Shares under which the issuance of Shares is subject to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal to one Share and will entitle a Participant to the issuance of Shares. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be satisfied or settled in Shares. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below."

## Exhibit 10.2

**RSU26 Grant Award Agreement**

**TERM SHEET**

This Term Sheet includes important information concerning your Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") award for Fiscal Year 2026 ("RSU26"). The RSU26 award is subject to the Standard Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units and the AECOM 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") attached hereto (together, the "Plan Documents").

The highlights of the RSU26 award include, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

**Vesting**: Your award shall generally cliff vest 100% on December 15, 2028 (the "Scheduled Vesting Date"), subject to your continued employment at AECOM through such date. If your employment at AECOM ends prior to this date, you will generally forfeit the entire award, except that you may be eligible for payment of all or a portion of the award if your employment ends due to death or disability, or in a Severance-Eligible Termination (as defined below).

**Taxation**: RSU awards issued in the U.S. are generally subject to federal and state income tax, FICA, and other state employment taxes on or about the settlement date. RSU awards issued outside the U.S. are generally taxed on the vesting date under local tax laws. Please consult a tax advisor for information specific to your individual facts and circumstances.

**Award Payout**: Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of AECOM common stock on the Settlement Date, subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan Documents. The payout will be reduced for any required tax withholding unless you elect in advance of vesting to pay the taxes yourself and have sufficient cash balances within your personal Merrill Lynch brokerage account to remit the amount of the required statutory tax withholding to AECOM at the time that such tax withholding is due (or make other arrangement to timely satisfy such obligations as may be permitted under the Plan Documents). The remaining AECOM shares earned (net of applicable taxes) will be deposited into your Merrill Lynch brokerage account as soon as administratively possible, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date (or if RSUs vest in connection with a Severance-Eligible Termination or an employment termination due to death or disability, no later than the 15th day of the third month following such termination, with the exact date of settlement within such payment window determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion).

**Grant Acceptance:** You must accept your RSU grant online at www.benefits.ml.com before you can receive payment of your vested RSU award. If you do not accept your

RSU grant within 60 days after the award is granted, your award may be cancelled in the discretion of the Administrator.

**STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE RSU AWARD**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**I. TERMS AND CONDITIONS**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

AECOM, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), has granted to the Participant named in the term sheet provided to said Participant herewith, or otherwise provided electronically or included on the stock administrator's online grant summary page (such materials, collectively, the "Term Sheet") an award of a number of restricted stock units (the "Award") specified in the Term Sheet. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), together with a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the aggregate of all Common Stock per share dividends (if any) with an *ex dividend* date occurring while the restricted stock unit to which such share relates was outstanding and prior to the payment of such restricted stock unit (a "Dividend Equivalent"), in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, any reference to the Company shall, unless the context requires otherwise, include a reference to any Subsidiary, as such term is defined in the Plan.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Term Sheet and shall be forfeitable unless and until the Award vests pursuant to the terms of the Term Sheet and these Standard Terms and Conditions. After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan (or as may otherwise be provided by any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Company benefit plan), the Award shall become vested as described in the Term Sheet; <u>provided</u> that (except as set forth in Section 5 below) the Participant does not experience a Termination of Employment (as defined in the Plan) prior to the Award becoming vested. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Term Sheet to the contrary, if a date on which restricted stock units subject to the Award would vest is not a business day, the applicable portion of the Award shall vest on the prior business day. Restricted stock units granted under the Award that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as "Vested Units." Restricted stock units granted under the Award that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as "Unvested Units." The vesting period of the Award may be adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion to reflect any decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, <u>provided</u> that the Administrator may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company or tax consequences in making any such adjustment. Dividend Equivalents shall accrue and remain unvested with respect to Unvested Units and shall vest, if at

------

all, at the same time or times as the Unvested Units to which the Dividend Equivalents relate. Dividend Equivalents shall not accrue interest.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any Transaction, Section 12 of the Plan shall apply to the Award, except as otherwise provided in any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Transaction or any Company benefit plan or written policy in effect and applicable to the Participant at the time of such Transaction.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5 below, each Vested Unit will be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary, promptly following the Scheduled Vesting Date (but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date or, if RSUs vest in connection with an employment termination due to death or disability, no later than the 15th day of the third month following such termination, with the exact date of settlement within such payment window determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion); <u>provided</u> that the Participant has satisfied all of the tax withholding obligations described in Section 7 below, and that the Participant has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Administrator deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Common Stock. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder may be effected by the issuance of a stock certificate, recording shares on the stock records of the Company or by crediting shares in an account established on the Participant's behalf with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in each case as determined by the Administrator. Fractional shares will not be issued pursuant to the Award, and will instead be rounded down.

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock during any period when the Company determines that the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any federal, state or other applicable laws, (ii) the Company may issue shares of Common Stock hereunder subject to any restrictive legends that, as determined by the Company's counsel, are necessary to comply with securities or other regulatory requirements, and (iii) the date on which shares are issued hereunder may include a delay in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to address tax withholding and other administrative matters (which delay shall in no event extend beyond the 15th day of the third month following the Scheduled Vesting Date).

Dividend Equivalents shall be settled in cash (net of applicable tax withholding) at the same time, and upon the same conditions, if applicable, as the Vested Units to which they relate.

------

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

Prior to any issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Award, no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or earmarked for the Participant or the Participant's account nor shall the Participant have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares. With the exception of Dividend Equivalents (which shall be settled, if at all, in the form of cash), pursuant to the terms hereof, the Participant will not be entitled to any privileges of ownership of the shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, any voting rights) underlying Vested Units and/or Unvested Units unless and until shares of Common Stock are actually delivered to the Participant hereunder.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Upon the date of the Participant's Termination of Employment (as defined in the Plan) for any reason, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5 or in any individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Company's Change in Control Severance Policy for Key Executives (the "CIC Severance Plan") and the Company's Senior Leadership Severance Plan (the "SLSP"), the Company's Enterprise Leadership Severance Plan (the "ELSP"), the Company's Leadership Severance Plan (the "LSP", and together with the CIC Severance Plan, the SLSP, the ELSP, and any other applicable plan or agreement that provides for accelerated vesting or similar rights that may apply to the Award, the "Severance Plans"), each if applicable, all Unvested Units shall be forfeited by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same treatment upon the Participant's Termination of Employment as the Vested Units or Unvested Units to which they relate. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of any notice or severance period required by any applicable law, in no event shall the Participant's entitlement to or receipt of pay in lieu of notice or severance pay under any statute, contract or at common law serve to extend the effective date of Participant's Termination of Employment for any purpose under this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the death of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment, or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, the Award will vest in full and each Vested Unit will be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date of such Termination of Employment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the Total and Permanent Disablement of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, subject to the Participant's (or the Participant's legal guardian's) execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination, the Award will vest in full and each Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date of such Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "Total and Permanent Disablement" means that the Participant has become entitled to benefits under an applicable long-term disability policy of the Company or, if no such policy covers the Participant, then Total and Permanent Disablement means that the person has become disabled within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (or any successor provision thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon Termination of Employment as a result of which the Participant becomes entitled to severance payments and/or benefits under any Severance Plan, which benefits include any vesting credit, accelerated vesting or similar benefit applicable to the Award (a "Severance-Eligible Termination"), subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination (which for clarity, may be satisfied by the Participant's execution of any release required under the applicable Severance Plan), the Award will vest solely to the extent provided in the applicable Severance Plan, and each Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date of such Termination of Employment. Any unvested portion of the Award (after taking into consideration the foregoing vesting acceleration, if any) shall be forfeited upon the Termination of Employment by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon Termination of Employment for Cause, all Vested Units and Unvested Units shall be forfeited by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant.

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other

------

subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of Vested Units, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (c) restrictions in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of the Company's securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, (d) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers, and (e) provisions requiring Shares to be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

At no time will the Participant have the right to require the Company to purchase from the Participant any Shares acquired by the Participant under the Award. Any Shares acquired by such Participant under the Award may not be repurchased by the Company for a period of six (6) months following the date on which the Participant acquired such Shares pursuant to the Award.

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; INCOME TAXES

The Participant will be subject to federal and state income and other tax withholding requirements on a date (generally, the Settlement Date) determined by applicable law (any such date, the "Taxable Date"), based on the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the units that are vested together with the value of any related Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will be solely responsible for the payment of all U.S. federal income and other taxes, including any state, local or non-U.S. income or employment tax obligation that may be related to the Vested Units and Dividend Equivalents and imposed on the Participant, including any such taxes that are required to be withheld and paid to the applicable tax authorities (the "Tax Withholding Obligation"). The Participant will be responsible for the satisfaction of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Administrator in its sole discretion.

By accepting the Award the Participant agrees that, unless and to the extent the Participant has otherwise satisfied the Tax Withholding Obligations in a manner permitted or required by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to withhold from the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Participant in respect of Vested Units the whole number of shares (rounded down) having a value (as determined by the Company consistent with any applicable tax requirements) on the Taxable Date or the first trading day before the Taxable Date sufficient to satisfy the applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. If any withheld shares are not sufficient to satisfy the Participant's Tax Withholding Obligation, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the withholding of shares of Common Stock described above.

------

At any time not less than five (5) business days before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a Settlement Date), the Participant may elect to satisfy all or any part of the Participant's Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the Company determines is sufficient (in light of the uncertainty of the exact amount thereof) to so satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (i) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (ii) delivery of a personal check payable to the Company, or (iii) such other means as specified from time to time by the Administrator, in each case unless the Company has specified prior to such date that the Participant is not permitted to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by any such means. The Administrator may, in its discretion, permit or require that the Tax Withholding Obligation be satisfied by the Participant providing instruction and authorization to the Company and a brokerage firm designated by the Company to sell on the Participant's behalf a whole number of shares of Common Stock from those shares issued to the Participant in respect of Vested Units as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation. If this "sell to cover" method of payment is permitted (and elected) or required, the applicable shares of Common Stock will be sold on the Taxable Date or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Participant will be responsible for all broker's fees and other costs of sale, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. The number of shares sold may be determined by considering any applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, and to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company shall make such arrangement as it determines appropriate to credit such amount for the Participant's benefit and the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has no entitlement to the equivalent in shares. The Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale.

The Company may refuse to issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant or settle any Dividend Equivalents until the Participant satisfies the Tax Withholding Obligation. The Participant acknowledges that the Company has the right to retain, without notice, from shares issuable under the Award or from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation.

The Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by the Participant in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes or any transaction pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant, issuance, vesting or settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Common Stock underlying Vested Units. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's tax liability.

------

8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD

Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Participant may not assign, transfer or pledge the Award or, prior to the vesting and settlement of the Award, the shares of Common Stock subject thereto or any right or interest therein to anyone other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company may cancel the Participant's Award if the Participant attempts to assign or transfer it in a manner inconsistent with this Section 8.

9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

In addition to these Terms and Conditions, the Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference. Certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Plan controls.

The Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARD

Neither the Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Term Sheet or these Standard Terms and Conditions except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, as shall have been issued to such person in respect of Vested Units.

11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NOT A CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT

Nothing in the Plan, in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company's employ or service, nor limit in any way the Company's right to terminate the Participant's employment at any time for any reason.

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SECTION 409A

It is intended that this Award and any payments or benefits made or provided under the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions shall comply with Section 409A of the Code, or an exemption from or exception to Section 409A of the Code, and will be interpreted, applied and administered accordingly. Under no circumstances, however,

------

shall the Company have any liability under the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan or these Standard Terms and Conditions, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent any payment or benefit in respect of this Award is considered deferred compensation subject to (and not exempt from) the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code and to the extent the Participant is considered a specified employee (as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) at the time of his or her separation from service (as determined under Section 409A), such payment may not be made as a result of the Participant's separation from service before the date that is six months after the Participant's separation form service (or, if earlier, the Participant's death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month plus one day following the Participant's separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant's death). To the extent required under Section 409A, any payment hereunder that may be made in connection with a Termination of Employment or any similar construct shall only be paid upon the Participant's separation from service. If the period during which an award payout may be made spans more than one calendar year, then the actual date of such payment shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and in no event shall the Participant dictate or influence the timing of such payment.

13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CLAWBACK POLICY

The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant and the award evidenced by this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of any clawback policy previously or hereafter adopted by the Company, including the Clawback Policy, effective October 1, 2012, and the Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, effective October 2, 2023,, and any applicable law, rules, standards or other guidance adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or association on which the Company's securities are listed, as may be in effect from time to time.

In the event the Participant or other holder of an Award believes that a decision by the Administrator with respect to such person was arbitrary or capricious, the Participant or other holder may request arbitration with respect to such decision in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The review by the arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether the Administrator's decision was arbitrary or capricious. This arbitration shall

------

be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Administrator's decision, and the Participant and any other holder hereby explicitly waive any right to judicial review.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to any awards granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Participant's consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting the Award, the Participant consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company, and such consent shall remain in effect throughout the Participant's term of employment or service with the Company, and, thereafter, until withdrawn in writing by the Participant. **The Participant must accept the Award online at www.benefits.ml.com before settlement of any Vested Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**II. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT (<u>FOR U.S.</u> <u>BASED EMPLOYEES ONLY</u>)** 

**This PIIA (or Section II) applies to U.S. based employees only. Therefore, by accepting this Agreement, employees working outside of the U.S. shall not be deemed to have accepted or to otherwise be bound by this PIIA (or Section II), and instead any corresponding terms in any local agreement will control and apply.** 

This PIIA sets forth in writing certain understandings and procedures applicable to my employment with AECOM (or its affiliates or subsidiaries as the case may be), and these understandings and procedures apply from the date of my initial employment with AECOM (my "Employment Date") even if this Agreement is signed by me and AECOM after the Employment Date.

1. DUTIES. In return for the compensation and benefits now and hereafter paid or provided to me, including without limitation, in consideration of the RSUs conferred by this Agreement, I hereby agree to perform those duties for AECOM as AECOM may designate from time to time. During my employment with AECOM, I further agree that I will (a) devote my best efforts to the interests of AECOM, (b) not engage in other employment or in any conduct that could either be in direct conflict with Company's interests or that could cause a material and substantial disruption to AECOM and (c) otherwise abide by all of AECOM's policies and procedures, including the Code of Conduct, as they may be established and updated from time to time. Furthermore, I will not reveal, disclose or otherwise make available to any unauthorized person any AECOM password or key, whether or not the password or key is assigned to me, or obtain, possess or use in any manner an AECOM password or key that is not assigned to me. I will use my best efforts to prevent the unauthorized use of any laptop or personal computer, peripheral device, cell phone, smartphone, personal digital assistant (PDA), software or related technical documentation that AECOM issues to me. I will not input, load or otherwise attempt any unauthorized use of software in any AECOM computer or other device, whether or not the computer or device is assigned to me. I acknowledge and agree that nothing in this PIIA alters the at-will nature of my employment with AECOM, and, as such, my employment with AECOM can be terminated at any time for any or no reason by either me or AECOM.

2.<u>"PROPRIETARY INFORMATION" DEFINITION</u>. "Proprietary Information" means (a) any information that is confidential or proprietary, technical or non-technical information of AECOM, including for example and without limitation, information that is a Company Innovation or is related to any Company Innovations (as defined in Section II, Paragraph 5 below), concepts, techniques, processes, methods, systems, designs, computer programs, source documentation, trade secrets, formulas, development or experimental work, work in progress, forecasts, proposed and future products, marketing plans, business plans, information about and the identities of customers and suppliers, employee information (such as compensation data and performance reviews except as related to my individual employment), competitive pricing and new business proposals, and any other nonpublic information that has commercial value and (b) any information AECOM has received from

------

others that AECOM is obligated to treat as confidential or proprietary, which may be made known to me by Company, a third party or otherwise that I may learn during my employment with AECOM.

3. <u>OWNERSHIP AND NONDISCLOSURE OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION</u>. All

Proprietary Information and all worldwide patents (including, but not limited to, any and all patent applications, patents, continuations, continuation-in-parts, reissues, divisionals, substitutions, and extensions), copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other worldwide intellectual property and other rights in and to the Proprietary Information are the property of AECOM, AECOM's assigns, AECOM's customers and AECOM's suppliers, as applicable. Subject to Section II, Paragraph 15 (Defend Trade Secrets Act), I will not disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside AECOM, and I will use and disclose Proprietary Information to those inside AECOM only as necessary to perform my duties as an employee of AECOM. Nothing in this PIIA will limit my ability to provide truthful information to any government agency regarding potentially unlawful conduct or as otherwise required by law; however, upon learning of any such requirement to disclose Proprietary Information, to the fullest extent legally permissible, I will immediately notify AECOM of the requirement and provide all reasonable assistance requested by AECOM to limit or contest the disclosure of Proprietary Information. If I have any questions as to whether information is Proprietary Information, or to whom, if anyone, inside AECOM, any Proprietary Information may be disclosed, I will ask my manager at AECOM.

4. <u>"INNOVATIONS" AND "WORK PRODUCT" DEFINITIONS</u>. In this PIIA, "Innovations" means all discoveries, designs, developments, improvements, inventions (whether or not protectable under patent laws), works of authorship, information fixed in any tangible medium of expression (whether or not protectable under copyright laws), trade secrets, know-how, negative know-how, ideas (whether or not protectable under trade secret laws), mask works, trademarks, service marks, trade names and trade dress. In this PIIA, "Work Product" means any Innovations, work product, deliverables, output, or other products in any form or format, provided or developed solely by me or jointly with others for the benefit of and/or use by AECOM and/or any AECOM client.

5. <u>DISCLOSURE AND LICENSE OF PRIOR INNOVATIONS</u>. I have listed on Exhibit A

(Prior Innovations) attached hereto all Innovations relating in any way to AECOM's business or demonstrably anticipated research and development or business (the "Company-Related Innovations"), that were conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me alone or jointly with others prior to my Employment Date and to which I retain any ownership rights or interest (these Company-Related Innovations are collectively referred to as the "Prior Innovations"). I represent that I have no rights in any Company-Related Innovations other than those Prior Innovations listed in Exhibit A (Prior Innovations). If nothing is listed on Exhibit A (Prior Innovations), I represent that there are no Prior Innovations as of my Employment Date. I hereby grant to AECOM and AECOM's designees a royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit all patent, copyright, moral right, mask work, trade secret and other intellectual property rights relating

------

to any Prior Innovations that I incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, in any Work Product or Innovations that I, solely or jointly with others, create, derive, conceive, develop, make or reduce to practice within the scope of my employment with AECOM (the "Company Innovations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Innovations in any Company Innovations without AECOM's prior written consent.

6.<u>DISCLOSURE AND ASSIGNMENT OF COMPANY INNOVATIONS</u>. I will promptly disclose and describe to AECOM all Company Innovations. I hereby do irrevocably assign to AECOM or AECOM's designee all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Company Innovations, which assignment operates automatically upon the conception of the Company Innovations. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to Company Innovations cannot be assigned by me to AECOM, I hereby grant to AECOM an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit those non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, have sold, reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute copies, perform publicly, and display, the Company Innovations. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to Company Innovations can neither be assigned nor licensed by me to AECOM, I hereby irrevocably waive and agree never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest against AECOM, any of AECOM's successors in interest, or any of AECOM's customers.

7.<u>FUTURE INNOVATIONS</u>. I will disclose promptly in writing to AECOM all Innovations conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me during my employment with AECOM and for three (3) months thereafter, whether or not I believe the Innovations are subject to this PIIA, to permit a determination by AECOM as to whether or not the Innovations are or should be considered Company Innovations. AECOM will receive that information in confidence.

**8.** <u>NOTICE OF NON-ASSIGNABLE INNOVATIONS</u> **<u>(FOR CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES</u> <u>ONLY)</u>**<u>.</u> This PIIA does not apply to an Innovation that qualifies fully as a non-assignable invention under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. I have reviewed the notification in Exhibit B (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agree that my electronic acceptance of this Agreement acknowledges receipt of the notification. **This Paragraph 8 does not apply to employees that reside and perform services on behalf of AECOM outside of the State of California.** 

9.<u>COOPERATION IN PERFECTING RIGHTS TO COMPANY INNOVATIONS.</u> I agree to perform, during and after my employment, all acts that AECOM deems necessary or desirable to permit and assist AECOM, at its expense, in obtaining and enforcing for AECOM or, at AECOM's election, AECOM's customers and/or other designees, the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company Innovations and all intellectual property rights therein as provided to AECOM under this PIIA, including hereby agreeing not to challenge the validity, enforceability or scope of any such intellectual

------

property rights in the Company Inventions. If AECOM is unable for any reason to secure my signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights or application or to enforce any right under any Company Innovations as provided under this PIIA, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint AECOM and AECOM's duly authorized officers and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on my behalf and instead of me to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of rights under the Innovations, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

10.<u>AECOM COVENANTS</u>. As a result of the relationship continued and the benefits conferred as a result of this Agreement, upon the execution of this Agreement by both parties, AECOM agrees that I am in, and will continue to be in a position of special trust and confidence, and it will provide me with: (a) an RSU grant as set forth in the Term Sheet and elsewhere in this Agreement; (b) Proprietary Information and access to such information; (c) specialized training, which may include self-study materials and course work, classroom training, on-line training, on the job training, and instruction as to AECOM's products, services, business relationships, and methods of operation; and (d) goodwill support such as expense reimbursements in accordance with AECOM's policies, Proprietary Information related to AECOM's current and prospective clients, customers, business associates, vendors, and suppliers, and contact and relationships with current and potential clients, customers, business associates, vendors, and suppliers to help me develop goodwill for AECOM. The foregoing is not contingent on my continued employment for any length of time but is contingent on my full compliance with the restrictions in Section II, Paragraph 11 below.

11.<u>EMPLOYEE COVENANTS</u>. I specifically acknowledge that the items described in Section II, Paragraph 10 above will be items that I have not previously been given and that I would not be given but for the execution and/or acceptance of this Agreement. I agree not to, directly or indirectly, participate in the unauthorized use, disclosure, or conversion of any Proprietary Information. Specifically, but without limitation, I agree not to use Proprietary Information for my sole benefit, or for the benefit of any person or entity in any way that harms AECOM or diminishes the value of the Proprietary Information to AECOM. I also agree to use the specialized training, goodwill, and contacts developed with AECOM's customers/clients and contractors for the exclusive benefit of AECOM, and I agree not to use these items at any time in a way that would harm the business interests of AECOM. However, nothing in this PIIA limits or prohibits me from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any federal, state, or local government agency or entity, making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of law, or receiving an award or monetary recovery pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's whistleblower program. I understand I do not need prior authorization to make such reports or disclosures and am not required to notify AECOM if I have made or will make any such report or disclosure. Further, nothing in this PIIA prohibits me from: (a) reporting any good faith allegations of criminal conduct to appropriate officials; (b) participating in proceedings with appropriate federal, state, or local enforcement agencies; (c) making any truthful statements or disclosures permitted or required by law; (d) requesting or receiving

------

confidential legal advice; or (e) testifying in an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceedings concerning alleged criminal conduct or alleged unlawful employment practices when required or requested pursuant to court order, subpoena, or written request by an appropriate agency or entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.**Goodwill with Customers.** I acknowledge that AECOM has near permanent relationships with its customers and owns the goodwill in those relationships with customers that I will develop or maintain in the course and scope of my employment with AECOM. If I owned goodwill in a relationship with a customer on the Employment Date, I hereby assign any and all such goodwill to AECOM, and AECOM shall become the owner of such goodwill.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.**Acknowledgment.** I acknowledge and agree that my services to be rendered to AECOM are of a special and unique character, that I will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to AECOM's business, its methods, and its strategies by virtue of my employment, and that the covenants and other terms and conditions of this PIIA are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of AECOM, including AECOM's trade secrets and other Proprietary Information, and are ancillary to the enforceable promises between me and AECOM in the other paragraphs and/or sections of this Agreement as well as my employment with AECOM. I further acknowledge and agree that the observance of the covenants set forth herein will not cause me undue hardship nor will it unreasonably interfere with my ability to earn a livelihood either during or following my employment with AECOM. Further, the parties acknowledge that the covenants in this Section II, Paragraph 11 are essential elements of this Agreement, and that, but for my agreement to comply with such covenants, AECOM would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.**Non-solicitation of Customers (NOT APPLICABLE TO EMPLOYEES IN CALIFORNIA OR WASHINGTON D.C.).** In consideration of AECOM's covenants and promises set forth in Section II, Paragraph 10, and elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to the grant of RSUs, I agree that while I am employed by AECOM or any of its subsidiaries, and during the 12-month period immediately following the termination of my employment, regardless of the reason for such termination (the "Restricted Period"), I will not directly or indirectly solicit, cause to be solicited, assist, or otherwise be involved with the solicitation of, for purposes of providing Competitive Services, or in any way provide Competitive Services to, any Restricted Customer. For purposes of this Section, the term "Restricted Customer" shall mean any person or entity within the Restricted Territories who was a customer of AECOM during the 12-month period preceding the end of my employment with AECOM and about which I received Proprietary Information or with whom I had personal contact during the period of my employment. Also, the term "Competitive Services" shall include any services

------

provided by AECOM at the time of my separation from employment or in the 12-month period preceding the end of my employment, and the term "Restricted Territories" shall include the United States and any international locations in which I performed work services on behalf of AECOM in the 12-month period preceding the end of my employment either in person or on a remote basis.<sup>1</sup> **For the avoidance of doubt, this Paragraph 11(c) does not apply to employees that reside and perform services on behalf of AECOM in the State of California or in the District of Columbia. All other U.S. based employees shall be bound by this Paragraph 11(c).** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.**Non-solicitation of Employees and Contractors (NOT APPLICABLE TO EMPLOYEES IN CALIFORNIA).** In consideration of AECOM's covenants and promises set forth in Section II, Paragraph 10, and elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to the grant of RSUs, I agree that while I am employed by AECOM or any of its subsidiaries and during the Restricted Period, I will not solicit, encourage, or cause others to solicit or encourage any employees or independent contractors of AECOM to terminate their employment with AECOM. **For the avoidance of doubt, this Paragraph 11(d) does not apply to employees that reside and perform services on behalf of AECOM in the State of California. All other U.S. based employees shall be bound by this Paragraph 11(d).** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.**Tolling**. I agree that if I violate any of the terms of the restrictive covenant obligations in Paragraphs 11(c) or (d), the Restricted Period shall be extended by one day for each day that I failed to comply with the restriction at issue.

12.<u>EARLY RESOLUTION CONFERENCE AND INVALID PROVISIONS.</u> This PIIA is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by the parties on that basis. However, should I later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable, or inapplicable as to any restricted activity in which I intend to engage, I will first notify AECOM in writing and meet with a representative of AECOM and a neutral mediator (if AECOM elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between us. I will provide this notification at least 14 days before I engage in any activity that could foreseeably fall within any restriction set forth herein, and I understand and agree that any failure by me to comply with this requirement shall waive my right to challenge the reasonable scope, clarity, applicability, or enforceability of the PIIA and its restrictions at a later time. All rights of the parties will be preserved if the early resolution conference requirement is complied with, even if no agreement is reached at the conference.

<sup>1</sup> For employees located in and working in the State of Louisiana, "Restricted Territories" shall include specifically the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Charles, and St. Bernard in the State of Louisiana as well as any locations internationally and outside of the state of Louisiana in which the applicable employee performed work services on behalf of <u>AECOM in the 12-month period preceding the end of employee's employment either in person or on a</u> <u>remote basis.</u> 

------

13.<u>RETURN OF MATERIALS.</u> At any time upon AECOM's request, and when my employment with AECOM is over, I will return all materials (whether in digital or printed form, and including, without limitation, documents, drawings, papers, diskettes and tapes) containing or disclosing any Proprietary Information (including all copies thereof), as well as any keys, pass cards, identification cards, computers, printers, pagers, cell phones, smartphones, personal digital assistants or similar items or devices that AECOM has provided to me. I will provide AECOM with a written certification of my compliance with my obligations under this Paragraph.

14.<u>NO VIOLATION OF RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES</u>. During my employment with AECOM, I will not (a) breach any agreement to keep in confidence any confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me prior to my employment with AECOM or (b) disclose to AECOM, or use or induce AECOM to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or any other third party. I am not currently a party, and will not become a party, to any other agreement that is in conflict, or will prevent me from complying, with this PIIA.

15.<u>DEFEND TRADE SECRETS ACT</u>. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I acknowledge that I shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if I file a lawsuit for retaliation by AECOM for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the trade secret to my attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if I file any document containing the trade secret under seal and do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

16.<u>SURVIVAL.</u> This PIIA (a) shall survive my employment by AECOM and the date of any vesting or non-vesting events under this Agreement or the Plan, (b) does not in any way restrict my right to resign or the right of AECOM to terminate my employment at any time, for any reason or for no reason, (c) inures to the benefit of successors and assigns of AECOM, and (d) is binding upon my heirs and legal representatives.

17.<u>INJUNCTIVE RELIEF</u>. I agree and acknowledge that if I violate this PIIA: AECOM will suffer irreparable and continuing damage; that money damages would be insufficient to adequately compensate AECOM for such damage; that <u>AECOM</u> is entitled to injunctive relief, a decree for specific performance, and all other relief as may be proper (including money damages if appropriate), to the extent permitted by law; and that I shall not seek or require, and hereby waive, the need for AECOM to post a bond.

18.<u>GOVERNING LAW.</u> The laws of the United States of America and the state in which I reside and perform services on behalf of AECOM govern all matters arising out of or relating to this PIIA without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall impact any choice of law provisions applicable to the Agreement at large or Section II of this Agreement.

------

19.<u>SEVERABILITY.</u> If an arbitrator or court of law holds any provision of this PIIA to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) that provision shall be deemed amended to provide AECOM the maximum protection permitted by applicable law and (b) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this PIIA shall not be affected.

20.<u>WAIVER; MODIFICATION</u>. If AECOM waives any term, provision or breach by me of this PIIA, such waiver shall not be effective unless it is in writing and signed by AECOM. No waiver shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by me. This PIIA may be modified only if both AECOM and I consent in writing.

21.<u>ASSIGNMENT</u>. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall extend to all successors and assigns of AECOM, whether by merger, reorganization, sale of assets, operation of law or otherwise.

22.<u>ENTIRE AGREEMENT</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing terms will control over any conflicting terms in any offer letter I received, except to the extent I previously entered into a non-competition covenant or agreement to arbitrate claims or disputes relating to my employment, which covenant and/or agreement shall survive the acceptance and execution of this Agreement.

23.<u>KNOWING AGREEMENT.</u> You are hereby advised to, and represent and warrant that you have had an opportunity to, consult with independent legal counsel of your choice prior to signing this agreement. You further represent and warrant that you have been given a period of at least fourteen (14) calendar days to review this Agreement, you have read this document in its entirety, and fully or satisfactorily understand its content and effect, and that you have not been subject to any form of duress or coercion in connection with this Agreement, are completely satisfied with the terms reflected in this Agreement, and, accordingly, knowingly enter this Agreement and agree to be bound as described in this Agreement.

<u>Exhibit A to PIIA</u>

PRIOR INNOVATIONS

------

<u>Exhibit B to PIIA</u> (For California Employees Only)

LIMITED EXCLUSION NOTIFICATION TO EMPLOYEES IN CALIFORNIA

THIS IS TO NOTIFY you in accordance with Section 2872 of the California Labor Code that the foregoing Agreement between you and Company does not require you to assign or offer to assign to Company any invention that you developed entirely on your own time without using Company's equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to Company's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Result from any work performed by you for Company.

To the extent a provision in the foregoing Agreement purports to require you to assign an invention otherwise excluded by Section 2872, the provision is against the public policy of California and is unenforceable.

This limited exclusion does not apply to any patent or invention covered by a contract between Company and the United States or any of its agencies requiring full title to a patent or invention to be in the United States.

------

**ANNEX A**

This <u>Annex A</u> includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of RSUs to a Participant under the Plan if the Participant renders services, resides or is otherwise subject to tax in one of the countries listed herein. If a Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working or transfers to another country after the grant of the RSUs or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In these circumstances the Participant undertakes to inform the Company about the foregoing. The Company reserves the right to determine in its discretion to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant under these circumstances, subject at all time to local law requirements. All capitalized terms that are used in this <u>Annex A</u> and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the RSU Grant Award Agreement (the "Award Agreement") to which this <u>Annex A</u> is attached.

**<u>CANADA</u>**

**This Agreement is amended to include the following additional terms and conditions, and to make the following modifications, for those Participants who are rendering their services in Canada:**

For Participants in Canada, the term "continued employment" as used in the Term Sheet and Plan Documents shall mean that the Participant must be employed by the Company and must not have resigned or retired and, in the event that the Participant's employment is terminated for any reason by the Company, including unlawful or constructive termination (termination does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period), the "continued employment" period will include only the period up to the termination date plus the remaining minimum period of statutory notice (if any) required by provincial employment standards legislation as may be amended or superseded. More particularly, the period of "continued employment" does not include any common law notice period beyond any minimum required statutory notice period. In accepting the Award, the Participant agrees that if a court were to ever award the Participant common law notice, notwithstanding the termination provisions of the Award Agreement, the Plan Documents or the Participant's employment agreement, that the period of any such notice award, beyond any minimum entitlements to statutory notice, is not included in the "continued employment" period.

In Canada, as the Award is meant to recognize continuous, full-time and active service at the Company, the vesting period of the Award may be adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion to reflect any decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, provided that the Administrator may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company or tax consequences in making any such adjustment and subject at all times to the Company's obligations under applicable human rights legislation.

In Canada, if the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason, including unlawful or constructive termination, (termination does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period), the Participant's "Termination of Employment" for the purposes of the Award and the Plan Documents will not occur

------

until the end of any minimum period of statutory notice (if any) required by provincial employment standards legislation as may be amended or superseded. If the Participant resigns or retires, "Termination of Employment" will occur on the day the employee ceases to serve the Company, and does not include any waiver of any resignation notice period. For certainty, the Canadian Participants' Termination of Employment will occur on the later of (i) the day the employee ceases to serve the Company or (ii) the last day of the minimum statutory notice period required by the applicable provincial employment standards legislation. Canadian Participants are not eligible to continue participating in the Award through any common law notice period beyond the minimum statutory notice period (if any), and Canadian Participants are not entitled to damages in lieu of continued participation in the Award through any common law notice period beyond the minimum statutory notice period (if any). In accepting the Award, each Canadian Participant agrees that if a court were to ever award common law notice, notwithstanding the termination provisions of any Standard Terms and Conditions in the Award Agreement, the Plan Documents, or the applicable employment agreement, that the period of any such notice award, beyond any minimum entitlements to statutory notice, will not extend the Termination of Employment date for purposes of the Award. For clarity, the definition of "Termination of Employment" referenced in section 6(f)(ii) of the Plan does not apply to Canadian Participants.

For additional clarity, no Canadian Participants are eligible to participate in or receive any of the Awards or Incentive Bonuses under the Plan or the Award Agreement following their Termination of Employment (except as explicitly allowed in the Plan Documents).

Further, the term "Cause" as used in the Plan and the Award Agreement shall, for Participants in Ontario, Canada, mean only wilful misconduct, disobedience or wilful neglect of duty that is not trivial and has not been condoned by the Company.

In addition, any references to terminating the Participant's employment "at any time" throughout the Plan Documents, for Ontario Participants shall mean "at any time permitted by applicable law".

The application of the provisions of the Plan Documents with respect to Total and Permanent Disablement will be subject at all times to applicable human rights provision in the province in which the Canadian Participant is employed.

With respect to section 15 of the Plan, the Suspension or Termination of Awards will be subject at all times to the requirements of applicable employment standards legislation.

With respect to subsection 19(b) of the Plan, the Administrator's discretion to waive or amend the operation of the Plan provisions respecting exercise after Termination of Employment or service to the Company or an affiliate shall only be exercised in compliance with applicable employment standards legislation.

With respect to section 24 of the Plan, the arbitration of disputes will be subject at all times to any mandatory dispute resolution process provided under statute.

For clarity, in Canada, this Annex A supersedes the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, and in the event of a conflict between this Annex A and the terms of the Plan and Award Agreement, the parties agree to defer to the terms of this Annex A.

------

Except as expressly modified by the terms of this Annex A, all other terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement continue to apply and remain in full force and effect.

------

**<u>UNITED KINGDOM</u>**

**The Restricted Stock Units Award Agreement is amended to include the following additional terms and conditions, and to make the following modifications, for those Participants who are employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the United Kingdom (and notwithstanding any other provision of the Restricted Stock Units Award Agreement, in the event of any conflict with the terms of the Plan, the below provisions shall apply):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.All references in the Plan Documents to the "laws of descent and distribution" shall be read instead to refer to the "laws of descent and distribution or intestacy".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.All references in the Plan Documents to terminating the Participant's employment "at any time" and/or "for any reason" shall be removed and be replaced by "in accordance with applicable law".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.All references in the Plan Documents "tax withholding" or "withholding tax" shall include any amount of income tax and social security contributions (including UK National Insurance contributions) or similar sums required by law to be withheld or in respect of which the Company is otherwise liable to account for and/or pay in relation to an Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.The following shall be included as a new <u>second paragraph</u> of <u>Section 3</u> (*Settlement of Restricted Stock Units*) of the <u>Standard Terms and Conditions for the RSU Award</u>:

"The Participant agrees that, as a condition of participation in the Plan, the award of the RSU Award and any issue or transfer of Shares thereunder, the Company may require the Participant to enter into any election for tax purposes that the Company (in its absolute discretion) deems necessary and/or desirable, including (without limitation) an election under section 431(1) of the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.For the purposes of <u>Section 3</u> (*Settlement of Restricted Stock Units*) and <u>paragraph A</u> of <u>Section 5</u> (*Termination of Employment*) references to the "Participant's estate, heir or beneficiary" shall be read instead to refer to the "Participant's estate, heir, beneficiary or personal representative(s)".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Paragraph B</u> of <u>Section 5</u> (*Termination of Employment*) shall be replaced as follows:

"Upon Termination of Employment as a result of the disability of the Participant, unless otherwise provided in any written individual agreement between the Participant and the Company in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment or under any applicable Company plan, including the Severance Plans, subject to the Participant's (or the Participant's legal guardian's) execution of a general release of all claims in a form provided by the Administrator at the time of termination, the Award will vest in

------

full and each Vested Unit will (subject to satisfaction of the foregoing release requirement) be settled by the delivery of one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan) to the Participant no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date of such Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Award and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term "disability" means that the Participant has become entitled to benefits under an applicable long-term disability policy of the Company or, if no such policy covers the Participant, then "disability" means that the person has become disabled in the Company's absolute discretion (acting reasonably)."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.The <u>first paragraph</u> of <u>Section 7</u> (*Income Taxes*) shall be replaced as follows:

"The Participant will be subject to federal and state income and other tax withholding, income tax and social security contributions (including UK National Insurance contributions) or similar sums required by law to be withheld or in respect of which the Company is otherwise liable to account for and/or pay with respect to the grant of an Award and/or the settlement of an Award on a date (generally, the Settlement Date) determined by applicable law (any such date, the "Taxable Date"), based on the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the units that are vested together with the value of any related Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will be solely responsible for the payment or bearing the cost of all U.S. federal income and other taxes, including any state, local or non-U.S. income taxes and social security contributions (including UK National Insurance contributions) or in respect of which the Company is otherwise liable to account for and/or pay related to the Vested Units and Dividend Equivalents (the "Tax Withholding Obligation"). The Participant will be responsible for the satisfaction of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Administrator in its sole discretion."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.The <u>final paragraph</u> of <u>Section 7</u> (*Income Taxes*) shall be replaced as follows:

"The Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for bearing the cost of all taxes in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes or any transaction pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the tax treatment of the grant, issuance, vesting or settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Common Stock underlying Vested Units. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's tax liability."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.The following shall be included as a new <u>second paragrap</u>h of <u>Section 11</u> (*Not a Contract for Employment*):

"If upon the Participant's Termination of Employment, lawfully or otherwise, the Participant loses any rights or benefits under this Agreement or in respect of any shares of Common Stock (including rights or benefits that the Participant would not

------

have lost had there not been a Termination of Employment), the Participant is not entitled to any compensation for such loss of rights."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.The following shall be included as a new <u>Section 14</u> (*Data Privacy*):

"For the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan and in connection with this Agreement, the Company will collect and process the Participant's personal data. Such personal data will be processed by the Company in accordance with applicable obligations under data protection law. For more information on how the Company collects and/or processes the Participant's personal data (including the Participant's rights and the lawful grounds of processing) please see the privacy notice previously provided to the Participant and available at "Employee Privacy Notice."

**The provisions of the Plan are amended as follows for those employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the United Kingdom:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.The definition of "Cause" at <u>paragraph (e)</u> of <u>Section 2</u> (*Definitions*) shall be replaced as follows:

"(e) "Cause" has the meaning specified in any written agreement between a Participant and the Company or, in the absence of any such definition, means the commission of an act of fraud or theft against the Company; conviction (including a guilty plea or plea of *nolo contendere*) for any felony or offence (excluding an offence committed in the UK which is a summary only offence); conviction (including a guilty plea or plea of *nolo contendere*) for any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude which might, in the Company's opinion, cause embarrassment to the Company; significant violation of any material Company policy; willful or repeated non-performance or substandard performance of material duties which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Participant; and violation of any material District of Columbia, state or federal laws, rules or regulations in connection with or during performance of the Participant's work which, if such violation is curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to the Participant."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The definition of "Retirement" at <u>paragraph (r)</u> of <u>Section 2</u> (*Definitions*) shall be replaced as follows:

"(r) "Retirement" has the meaning specified by the Administrator in the terms of an Award Agreement or, in the absence of any such term, for Participants other than Nonemployee Directors shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries. The determination of the Administrator as to an individual's Retirement shall be conclusive on all parties."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Notwithstanding <u>Section 3</u> (*Eligibility*), for Participants who reside or are otherwise subject to tax in the United Kingdom, Restricted Stock Units Awards may only be

------

granted to those Participants that are employees (including any director who is also an employee) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Paragraph (a)</u> (*Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards*) of <u>Section 8</u> (*Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units*) shall be replaced as follows:

"(a) *Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards*. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants as determined by the Administrator. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Shares under which the issuance of Shares is subject to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal to one Share and will entitle a Participant to the issuance of Shares. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be satisfied or settled in Shares. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Paragraph (a)</u> (*General*) of <u>Section 13</u> (*Performance-Based Awards*) shall be replaced as follows:

"(a) *General*. The Administrator may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the number of Shares or units to be granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of an Award."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.The words "(up to the minimum required withholding rate for the Participant, or such other rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost)" in <u>Section 18</u> (*Withholding*) shall be deemed deleted.
