Parsons to Acquire BCC Engineering
21 October 2024 - 9:30PM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE:PSN) announced today that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire BCC Engineering, LLC (BCC),
one of Florida's leading transportation engineering firms, in an
all-cash transaction valued at $230 million.
BCC, a portfolio company of Trivest Partners, is a full-service
engineering firm that provides planning, design, and management
services for transportation, civil, and structural engineering
projects in Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, and Puerto
Rico. This acquisition strengthens Parsons’ position as an
infrastructure leader while expanding the company’s reach in the
Southeastern United States, an area where the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provided approximately $100 billion
in Federal Highway Administration formula dollars for fiscal years
2022-2026. The transaction is consistent with Parsons’ strategy of
acquiring high-growth companies with greater than 10% revenue
growth and adjusted EBITDA margins. BCC will be integrated into
Parsons’ North America Infrastructure business unit.
“Parsons’ acquisition of BCC represents another important
milestone in our mission to advance mobility solutions across North
America,” said Carey Smith, Parsons' chair, president, and chief
executive officer. “The addition of BCC’s talented team expands our
service offerings and furthers our impact during this
transformative era for infrastructure. Our collaboration will
enable us to drive progress, foster economic growth, and ultimately
create more connected and resilient infrastructure across the
nation. I am excited to welcome BCC into Parsons.”
Established in Miami, FL, in 1994, BCC is known for its
innovative, best-in-class solutions for some of Florida's largest
and most complex roadway and bridge projects. The company has
delivered over 100 major projects serving every district for the
Florida Department of Transportation and is one of the
fastest-growing transportation engineering firms in the southeast
U.S. BCC has also been consistently recognized as a top place to
work by the Sun Sentinel, and a Top 500 design firm by the
Engineering News Record (ENR).
“We are excited to become part of Parsons’ team,” said Jose
Muñoz, BCC’s president & CEO. “This acquisition marks a
significant milestone for both of our organizations and represents
a shared vision for the future of infrastructure in our
communities. Parsons is a leader in the digitization of design and
delivery of infrastructure, and this provides our team the
opportunity to be at the forefront of the industry. Together we’re
unlocking the potential of transportation infrastructure for our
customers and communities where we live and work.”
Parsons and BCC have worked closely for years on critical
infrastructure projects and, through collaboration and
client-focused strategy, will continue to unlock additional value
and impact for clients worldwide. The net transaction value of
$221m (including $9 million of transaction-related tax benefits)
represents approximately 13.0x BCC’s estimated 2025e EBITDA. For
2025, Parsons expects BCC to generate approximately $110 million of
gross revenue and be accretive to Parsons’ revenue growth and
adjusted EBITDA margins. The transaction is expected to close in
the next 30 days, subject to customary closing conditions. Parsons
was advised by BofA Securities and Jenner & Block, and Akerman
advised BCC.
