Item 7.01
Regulation FD
On September 19, 2022,
J
acobs Solutions Inc. (the "Company") reaffirmed previous guidance for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022. The Company expects fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $340 to $360 million and adjusted EPS of $1.75 to $1.85. The Company also reinforces its full-year 100% adjusted cash conversion expectations.
As of September 16, 2022, the Company has $532.2 million remaining to repurchase shares of its common stock under the Company's previously announced stock buyback authorization, which will expire in January 2023, unless further extended. The Company intends to continue to repurchase its shares of common stock from time to time, including through implementing Rule 10b5-1 plans, as well as by other means.
The Company expects to report its full fourth quarter and 2022 fiscal year end results in mid-November and will conduct a conference call at that time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of the adjusted EPS outlook and adjusted EBITDA outlook for the fourth quarter, and adjusted EBITDA outlook, adjusted EPS outlook, and adjusted cash conversion expectations for the full fiscal 2022 year to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict with sufficient certainty all the components required to provide such reconciliation, including with respect to foreign currency translation impacts, and the amount and timing of certain costs and charges to be incurred in fiscal 2022.
