ICON plc (NASDAQ: ICLR), a world-leading
healthcare intelligence and clinical research organization, today
reported its financial results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2022.
CEO, Dr. Steve Cutler commented, “ICON’s third quarter results
reflect the strength and breadth of our global service offering as
industry demand for accelerated clinical development remains solid
despite continued macroeconomic challenges. Strong operational
performance in the third quarter drove constant dollar organic
revenue growth of 7.4%, with excellent cost management and strong
utilization driving adjusted EBITDA growth of 16.9% year over year,
and adjusted earnings per share growth of 17.5% over third quarter
2021. Additionally, as a result of strong cash flow generation in
the quarter, we were able to make continued progress in paying down
our Term Loan B facility, bringing our net debt balance to 2.9x Net
debt to adjusted EBITDA as of the end of the third quarter.
Further, given the rising interest rate environment, we are
currently evaluating a hedging strategy to address our floating
rate debt exposure into 2023 and beyond.”

Other Information
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press
release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including

adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to the Group.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings
per share exclude amortization, stock compensation, foreign
exchange gains and losses restructuring and transaction-related /

are not superior to or a substitute for the comparable GAAP
measures, ICON believes certain non-GAAP information is useful to
investors for historical comparison purposes.

integration of new business mergers and acquisitions, the impact of
COVID-19 on our business, as well as other economic and global
market conditions and other risks and uncertainties detailed from

Our full-year 2022 guidance measures (other than revenue) are
provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure because the company is unable to
predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items
contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such
items include, but are not limited to, transaction-related /
integration-related expenses, restructuring and related expenses,
and other items not reflective of the company's ongoing
operations.

(a) Acquisition related deferred revenue adjustment represents
non-cash adjustments resulting from the revaluation of deferred
revenue and the subsequent charge to revenue in connection with
business combinations
(b) Net interest expense includes losses on modification or
extinguishment of debt.
(c) Stock-based compensation expense represents the amount of
recurring non-cash expense related to the Company’s equity
compensation programs (inclusive of employer related taxes).
(d) Foreign currency losses (gains), net relates to gains or
losses that arise in connection with the revaluation of non-US
dollar denominated assets and liabilities. We exclude these gains
and losses from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because
fluctuations from period- to- period do not necessarily correspond
to changes in our operating results.
(e) Restructuring charges incurred relate to charges incurred in
connection with the termination of leases at locations that are no
longer being used and amounts incurred in connection with the
elimination of redundant positions within the organization.
(f) Transaction-related / integration-related costs include
expenses/credits associated with our acquisitions, share-based
compensation expense related to the acceleration of share-based
compensation awards and replacement share-based awards, contingent
consideration valuation adjustments, and any other costs incurred
directly related to the integration of these acquisitions.
(g) Transaction-related financing costs includes costs incurred
in connection with changes to our long-term debt and amortization
of financing fees. We exclude these costs from Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Net Income because they result from financing decisions
rather than from decisions made related to our ongoing
operations.
(h) Represents the tax effect of adjusted pre-tax income at our
estimated effective tax rate.
