ATKINSREALIS HOSTS ITS 2024 INVESTOR DAY

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. will host its 2024 investor day in Toronto today and has released the highlights of its 2025 to 2027 strategic plan.

Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, and Jeff Bell, chief financial officer, will be joined by other members of the executive team to present an in-depth review of the company's 2025 to 2027 strategic plan -- delivering excellence, driving growth -- including its capital allocation framework, key initiatives for revenue growth and margin expansion, and subsequent financial targets.

"We are excited to introduce our delivering excellence, driving growth strategy, which has been enabled by the success of the pivoting to growth strategy we announced at our 2021 investor day," said Mr. Edwards, president and chief executive officer. "Our chosen high-growth geographies and customer end-markets, combined with our unique end-to-end capabilities, position us well to continue to create value for our stakeholders -- and deliver on our purpose of creating a better future for our planet and its people. We have confidence in advancing our world-class engineering services and nuclear capabilities, powered by our operational scale and rigor, and our 38,000 dedicated employees. Our new 2025 to 2027 financial targets reflect our confidence in driving growth, improving margins and delivering excellence for our customers."

Delivering excellence, driving growth strategy

The strong growth and continuous success of the current 2022 to 2024 pivoting to growth strategy have been enabled by the company's collaborative and connected environment, as well as its deep expertise and end-to-end capabilities. Atkinsrealis is pleased to announce the next phase of its growth journey by unveiling its 2025 to 2027 delivering excellence, driving growth strategy, underpinned by three pillars:

• Optimize the business: Atkinsrealis is expected to leverage its newly created chief operating officer (COO) office to pursue margin expansion and growth, and drive industry-leading performance.
• Accelerate value creation: Atkinsrealis plans to expand investments in rapidly growing markets, including executing strategic initiatives in engineering services across the United States, utilizing nuclear expertise to capitalize on the super cycle, and investing in accretive mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to build scale and depth.
• Explore untapped potential: Atkinsrealis will identify the next phase of major value-creation opportunities, such as growing existing foothold geographies, building further scale to advance energy transition and pursuing adjacencies.

In addition, Atkinsrealis remains committed to its disciplined capital allocation strategy, for which the priorities are maintaining a strong balance sheet with debt leverage ratios consistent with an investment-grade credit rating, investing in the business, through organic and inorganic investments, and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and/or share buybacks. The company also intends to sell its interest in Highway 407 ETR by the end of 2027, to further Atkinsrealis's strategic goal of creating a company focused on the engineering services and nuclear businesses.
