New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting	2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new accounting guidance establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer 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 adopted the new standard on October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $7.0 million, net of tax. Detailed disclosures regarding the adoption and other required disclosures can be found in Note 4. In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which changes accounting requirements for leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases, including those classified as operating leases under previous accounting guidance, on the balance sheet. It also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach and provides for some practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and some other instruments. The new guidance will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year starting October 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying how entities should classify cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The Company adopted the new standard on October 1, 2018 and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its statement of cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The new guidance will require companies to account for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory in the period the transfer occurs. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018, and the adoption resulted in a $5.5 million reduction to other non-current assets and retained earnings. In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist companies with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance requires the buyer to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of assets. The Company elected to adopt this guidance on July 1, 2018 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs. The new guidance was effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging. This guidance better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through change to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. The Company early adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Acquisitions, Goodwill

Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets	3. Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company completed one acquisition during the year ended September 30, 2018 for a total consideration of $5.6 million, which was accounted for under the acquisition method. Acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were recognized on the acquisition date based upon their fair values. The determination of fair values of assets and liabilities acquired requires the Company to make estimates and use valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. Transaction costs associated with business acquisitions are expensed as they are incurred. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, management approved a plan to sell non-core oil and gas assets in North America, included in the Company’s Construction Services segment (the Disposal Group). The Company classified the related assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company sold a portion of the assets in the Disposal Group and recognized a $2.1 million loss on disposal. The remaining unsold portion of the Disposal Group remains classified as held for sale. The Company recorded losses related to the remeasurement of the Disposal Group based on estimated fair value less costs to sell resulting in total asset impairments of $168.2 million, recorded in Impairment of assets held for sale, including goodwill in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Fair value was estimated using Level 3 inputs, such as forecasted cash flows, and Level 2 inputs, including bid prices from potential buyers. In connection with the classification of the Disposal Group as held for sale, the Company tested the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets allocated to the Disposal Group for impairment. The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill during the year ended September 30, 2018 of $125.4 million and an impairment of intangible and other noncurrent assets of $42.8 million. As of December 31, 2018, current assets held for sale were primarily comprised of accounts receivable of $44.8 million and property, plant and equipment of $13.6 million. As of December 31, 2018, current liabilities held for sale were primarily comprised of accounts payable of $18.4 million. The Company expects to complete the sale of the remaining Disposal Group assets within the next twelve months. The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows: Foreign September 30, Exchange December 31, 2018 Impact 2018 (in millions) Design and Consulting Services $ 3,189.2 $ (14.8) $ 3,174.4 Construction Services 1,008.9 (6.6) 1,002.3 Management Services 1,723.0 (6.2) 1,716.8 Total $ 5,921.1 $ (27.6) $ 5,893.5 The gross amounts and accumulated amortization of the Company’s acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives as of December 31 and September 30, 2018, included in intangible assets—net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, were as follows: December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Gross Accumulated Intangible Gross Accumulated Intangible Amortization Amount Amortization Assets, Net Amount Amortization Assets, Net Period (in millions) (years) Backlog and customer relationships $ 1,283.5 $ (987.4) $ 296.1 $ 1,285.1 $ (966.0) $ 319.1 1 - 11 Trademark / tradename 18.3 (17.7) 0.6 18.3 (17.5) 0.8 0.3 - 2 Total $ 1,301.8 $ (1,005.1) $ 296.7 $ 1,303.4 $ (983.5) $ 319.9 Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets included within cost of revenue was $21.6 million and $23.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

	Dec. 31, 2018
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition	4. Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis, which amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition. As a result, the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Contracts completed prior to October 1, 2018 were accounted for using the guidance in effect at that time. The cumulative effect of applying the new guidance was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings at October 1, 2018 of $7.0 million, net of tax. Consistent with the modified retrospective transition approach, the comparative period was not adjusted to conform with current period presentation. The adjustment was primarily related to segmenting or combining contracts by performance obligations identified under the criteria of the new standard. Revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased $1.5 million, net of tax, due to the adoption of the new standard primarily in the Construction Services segment. The new accounting guidance establishes 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. 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. 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. 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 generally be the Company’s responsibility. For many of the Company’s commercial or residential 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. The following tables present the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue sources: Three months ended December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 (in millions) Cost reimbursable $ 2,571.6 $ 2,357.2 Guaranteed maximum price 1,024.0 1,178.6 Fixed price 1,441.9 1,375.0 Total revenue $ 5,037.5 $ 4,910.8 Three months ended December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 (in millions) Americas $ 4,070.4 $ 3,928.6 Europe, Middle East, Africa 550.1 589.3 Asia Pacific 417.0 392.9 Total revenue $ 5,037.5 $ 4,910.8 Revenues in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific are primarily reported in the Company's DCS segment. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had allocated $20.1 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 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 receivable 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. 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. Net accounts receivable consisted of the following: December 31, September 30, 2018 2018 (in millions) Billed $ 2,680.0 $ 2,697.7 Contract retentions 654.1 661.7 Total accounts receivable—gross 3,334.1 3,359.4 Allowance for doubtful accounts (52.0) (51.6) Total accounts receivable—net $ 3,282.1 $ 3,307.8 Substantially all contract assets as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 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 $266.0 million and $266.0 million as of December 31 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and included an amount related to the DOE Deactivation, Demolition, and Removal Project discussed further in Note 14. 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. These retention agreements vary from project to project and could be outstanding for several months or years. Allowances for doubtful accounts have been determined through specific identification of amounts considered to be uncollectible and potential write-offs, plus a non-specific allowance for other amounts for which some potential loss has been determined to be probable based on current and past experience. Other than the U.S. government, no single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding receivables at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Company sold trade receivables to financial institutions, of which $374.6 million and $334.2 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, 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.

Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities	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 and public-private partnership (P3) 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 some 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 a company’s economic interest in the joint venture. The Company analyzes its joint ventures and classifies them as either: · 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 · 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 14. Summary of unaudited financial information of the consolidated joint ventures is as follows: December 31, 2018 September 30, (unaudited) 2018 (in millions) Current assets $ 906.8 $ 1,013.7 Non-current assets 183.4 192.7 Total assets $ 1,090.2 $ 1,206.4 Current liabilities $ 645.9 $ 724.2 Non-current liabilities 14.5 12.7 Total liabilities 660.4 736.9 Total AECOM equity 257.9 284.2 Noncontrolling interests 171.9 185.3 Total owners’ equity 429.8 469.5 Total liabilities and owners’ equity $ 1,090.2 $ 1,206.4 Total revenue of the consolidated joint ventures was $617.5 million and $623.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Pension Benefit Obligations
Pension Benefit Obligations	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 (expense) 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, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 U.S. Int’l U.S. Int’l (in millions) Components of net periodic benefit cost: Service costs $ — $ 0.1 $ 1.2 $ 0.3 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 5.9 7.4 5.2 7.9 Expected return on plan assets (6.8) (9.5) (7.9) (10.7) Amortization of net loss 0.9 1.0 1.0 2.0 Settlement loss recognized — 0.1 — 0.1 Net periodic benefit cost $ — $ (0.9) $ (0.5) $ (0.4) The total amounts of employer contributions paid for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were $2.5 million for U.S. plans and $7.9 million for non-U.S. plans. The expected remaining scheduled annual employer contributions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 are $11.8 million for U.S. plans and $19.3 million for non-U.S. plans. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the United Kingdom High Court ruled that the formulas used to determine guaranteed minimum pension benefits violated gender pay equality laws. As a result, the Company may be required to retroactively increase benefit levels for plan participants, which would be initially recognized in other comprehensive income as an increase to prior service cost. The Company is in the process of seeking actuarial and legal advice to understand the impact of this ruling.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	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 agreements designated as cash flow hedges to fix the variable interest rates on portions of the Company’s debt. The Company also uses foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. 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 to either interest expense when the interest expense on the variable rate debt is recognized, or to cost of revenue when the hedged revenues are recorded. If the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring, any gain or loss related to interest rate swap agreements or foreign currency contracts would be recognized in other income (expense). Further, the Company excludes the change in the time value of the foreign currency contracts from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company records the premium paid or time value of a contract on the date of purchase as an asset. Thereafter, the Company recognizes any change to this time value in cost of revenue. The notional principal in U.S. dollar (USD), Canadian dollar (CAD), and Australian dollar (AUD), fixed rates and related expiration dates of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements were as follows: December 31, 2018 Notional Amount Notional Amount Fixed Expiration Currency (in millions) Rate Date AUD 200.0 2.19 % February 2021 CAD 400.0 2.49 % September 2022 USD 200.0 2.60 % February 2023 September 30, 2018 Notional Amount Notional Amount Fixed Expiration Currency (in millions) Rate Date AUD 200.0 2.19 % February 2021 CAD 400.0 2.49 % September 2022 USD 200.0 2.60 % February 2023 The notional principal of outstanding foreign currency contracts to purchase AUD was AUD 52.8 million (or $39.8 million) and AUD 65.2 million (or $49.1 million) at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. 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, 2018 and 2017. Fair Value Measurements The Company’s non-pension financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value relate to derivative instruments and were not material at December 31, 2018 or September 30, 2018. See Note 13 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, 2018 and 2017. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss from the Company’s foreign currency contracts were immaterial for all periods presented. Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income from the foreign currency options were immaterial for all periods presented. Additionally, there were no material losses recognized in income due to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing from the Company’s interest rate swap agreements. During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into a contingent consideration arrangement in connection with a business acquisition. Under the arrangement, the Company agreed to pay cash to the sellers if financial performance thresholds are achieved in the future. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability, net of amounts paid, as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 was $11 million and $11 million, respectively. This liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement recorded within other accrued liabilities, and was valued based on estimated future net cash flows. Any future changes in the fair value of this contingent consideration liability will be recognized in earnings during the applicable period.

Share-based Payments

Share-based Payments	3 Months Ended

Share-based Payments
Share-based Payments	9. Share-based Payments The fair value of an outstanding employee stock option award is estimated on the date of grant. The expected term of the stock option granted represents the period of time the stock option is expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury bond rates with maturities equal to the expected term of the stock option on the grant date. The Company uses historical data as a basis to estimate the probability of forfeitures. Stock option activity for the three months ended December 31 was as follows: 2018 2017 Shares of stock Weighted average Shares of stock Weighted average under options exercise price under options exercise price (in millions) (in millions) Outstanding at September 30 0.6 $ 31.62 0.7 $ 31.11 Options granted — — — — Options exercised — — (0.1) 27.67 Options forfeited or expired — — — — Outstanding at December 31 0.6 31.62 0.6 31.54 Vested and expected to vest in the future as of December 31 0.6 $ 31.62 0.6 $ 31.54 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 which are earned based on service conditions. The grant date fair value of PEP awards and restricted stock unit awards is that day’s closing market price of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average grant date fair value of PEP awards was $27.50 and $37.90 during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards was $27.50 and $36.93 during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total compensation expense related to these share-based payments including stock options was $15.6 million and $16.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to total share-based payments outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 was $123.0 million and $94.3 million, respectively, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ respective vesting periods which are generally three years.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate was (106.7)% and (60.9)% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The most significant item contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three month period ended December 31, 2018 was a $38.1 million benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credits. This item is not 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 income tax rate of 24.5% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 were a $41.7 million net benefit related to one-time U.S. federal tax law changes and a benefit of $11.2 million related to changes in uncertain tax positions primarily in the U.S. and Canada. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, a valuation allowance in the amount of $38.1 million related to foreign tax credits was released due to sufficient positive evidence obtained during the quarter. The positive evidence included the issuance of regulations during the quarter related to The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) and forecasting the utilization of the foreign tax credits within the foreseeable future. The Company evaluated the new positive evidence against any negative evidence to determine the valuation allowance was no longer needed. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, President Trump signed the Tax Act into law. The Tax Act reduced the Company’s U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings, and eliminated or reduced certain deductions. Other significant provisions included a base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) on excessive amounts paid to foreign related parties and a minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI). The Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the current tax impact of GILTI as a period cost and has included the impact in the estimated annual effective tax rate as of December 31, 2018. Given the significance of the Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allowed registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act. 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 and their interpretations which upon enactment include possible tax reform around the world arising from the result of the base erosion and profit shifting project undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development which, if finalized and adopted, 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 and believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months, including lapses in statutes of limitations, could result in adjustments, but will not result in a material change in the liability for uncertain tax positions. 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 $1.8 billion are able to and intended to be reinvested indefinitely. At December 31, 2018, the Company has determined it will continue to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and therefore will continue to account for these undistributed earnings based on existing accounting under ASC 740 and not accrue additional tax outside of the one-time transition tax described above. There may also be additional U.S. or foreign income tax liability upon repatriation, although the calculation of such additional taxes is not practicable.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share	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, 2018 and 2017, 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 December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 (in millions) Denominator for basic earnings per share 156.4 157.9 Potential common shares 3.2 3.9 Denominator for diluted earnings per share 159.6 161.8

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, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Company did not have material revisions to estimates for contracts where revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company commenced a restructuring plan to improve profitability. The Company expects to incur restructuring costs of $80 to $90 million in fiscal 2019 primarily related to personnel and real estate costs. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $63.3 million, including personnel and other costs of $46.0 million and real estate costs of $17.3 million, of which $41.2 million was accrued and unpaid at December 31, 2018. The Company incurred $22.4 million of severance expenses relating to restructuring activities during the three months ended December 31, 2017. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded revenue related to the expected accelerated recovery of a pension related entitlement from the federal government of approximately $50 million, which is included in accounts receivable-net at December 31, 2018. The entitlement resulted from pension costs that are reimbursable through government contracts in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. The accelerated recognition resulted from an amendment to freeze pension benefits under URS Federal Services, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan. The actual amount of reimbursement may vary from the Company’s expectation.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	14. 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. 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, 2018, the Company was contingently liable in the amount of approximately $537.0 million in issued standby letters of credit and $5.6 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. In addition, in connection with the investment activities of AECOM Capital, the Company provides guarantees of contractual obligations, including guarantees for completion of projects, repayment of debt, environmental indemnity obligations and other lender required guarantees. The Company’s investment adviser jointly manages, sponsors and owns equity interest in the AECOM-Canyon Equity Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”), in which the Company has an ongoing capital commitment to fund investments. At December 31, 2018, the Company has capital commitments of $35 million to the Fund over the next 10 years. DOE Deactivation, Demolition, and Removal Project Washington Group International, an Ohio company (WGI Ohio), an affiliate of URS, 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 and remains uncompleted. In February 2011, WGI Ohio 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, requires the DOE to pay all project costs up to $106 million, requires WGI Ohio and the DOE to equally share in all project costs incurred from $106 million to $146 million, and requires WGI Ohio 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, WGI Ohio has been required to perform work outside the scope of the Task Order Modification. In December 2014, WGI Ohio submitted claims against the DOE pursuant to the Contracts Disputes Acts seeking recovery of $103 million, including additional fees on changed work scope. WGI Ohio has incurred and continues to incur additional project costs outside the scope of the contract as a result of differing site and ground conditions and intends to submit additional formal claims against the DOE. Due to significant delays and uncertainties about responsibilities for the scope of remaining work, final project completion costs and other associated costs have exceeded $100 million over the contracted and claimed amounts. WGI Ohio assets and liabilities, including the value of the above costs and claims, were measured at their fair value on October 17, 2014, the date AECOM acquired WGI Ohio’s parent company, which measurement has been reevaluated to account for developments pertaining to this matter. Deconstruction and decommissioning activities are completed and site restoration activities are underway. WGI Ohio increased its receivable during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. WGI Ohio can provide no certainty that it will recover the claims submitted against DOE in December 2014, any future claims or any other project costs after December 2014 that WGI Ohio may be obligated to incur including the remaining project completion costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. SR-91 One of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, URS Corporation, entered into a partial fixed cost and partial time and material design agreement in 2012 with a design build contractor for a state route highway construction project in Riverside County and Orange County, California. On April 1, 2017, URS Corporation filed an $8.2 million amended complaint in the Superior Court of California against the design build contractor for its failure to pay for services performed under the design agreement. On July 3, 2017, the design build contractor filed an amended cross-complaint against URS Corporation and AECOM in Superior Court alleging breaches of contract, negligent interference and professional negligence pertaining to URS Corporation’s performance of design services under the design agreement, seeking purported damages of $70 million. On May 4, 2018, the design build contractor dismissed its claims for negligent interference. On May 24, 2018, URS Corporation filed an $11.9 million second amended complaint in Superior Court against the design build contractor for its failure to pay for services performed under the design agreement. URS Corporation and AECOM cannot provide assurances that URS Corporation will be successful in the recovery of the amounts owed to it under the design agreement or in their defense against the amounts alleged under the cross-complaint that they believe are without merit and that they intend to vigorously defend against. The potential range of loss in excess of any current accrual cannot be reasonably estimated at this time primarily because the matter involves complex factual and legal issues; there is substantial uncertainty regarding any alleged damages, including due to liability of and payments, by third parties; and the matter is at a discovery stage of litigation. New York Department of Environmental Conservation The following separate matters pertain to government environmental allegations against an AECOM affiliate. · In September 2017, AECOM USA, Inc., one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, was advised by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) of allegations that it committed environmental permit violations pursuant to the New York Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) associated with AECOM USA, Inc.’s oversight of a stream restoration project for Schoharie County which could result in substantial penalties if calculated under the ECL’s maximum civil penalty provisions. AECOM USA, Inc. disputes this claim and intends to continue to defend this matter vigorously; however, AECOM USA, Inc. cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in these efforts. The potential range of loss in excess of any current accrual cannot be reasonably estimated at this time primarily because the matter involves complex and unique environmental and regulatory issues; the project site involves the oversight and involvement of various local, state and federal government agencies; there is substantial uncertainty regarding any alleged damages; and the matter is in its preliminary stage of the government’s claims and any negotiations of a consent order or other resolution. · In December 2018, AECOM USA, Inc. was advised by DEC of allegations that, during AECOM USA, Inc.’s oversight of a remedial construction project in Poughkeepsie, New York, sheen escaped a containment boom line near the east bank of the Hudson River without proper notification to DEC and an unapproved dispersant was sprayed onto the Hudson River to control odors in violation of ECL. AECOM USA, Inc. denies these allegations but is working cooperatively with DEC to resolve the matter. Illinois Power Generating Company Advatech, LLC, a joint venture 60% owned by AECOM Energy & Construction, Inc., executed a fixed-cost engineering, procurement and construction contract for a flue-gas-desulfurization system at a coal-fired power plant owned by Illinois Power Generating Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynegy, Inc. (Genco). On September 2, 2016, Genco terminated Advatech's contract for convenience and Advatech subsequently submitted its final contractual invoice of approximately $81 million. Advatech filed and perfected a mechanics lien on the Genco power plant property on October 17, 2016. On December 9, 2016, Genco filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas and its plan of reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 25, 2017 (the Bankruptcy Plan). Advatech's contractual invoice and mechanics lien were not extinguished per the terms of the Bankruptcy Plan and remain outstanding claims. On March 15, 2017, Advatech filed a demand for arbitration and on July 21, 2017 submitted a Statement of Claim seeking reimbursement of approximately $81 million for Genco's breach of contract and failure to reimburse Advatech for all of the cost of work performed under the contract. Arbitration proceedings occurred in October 2018. Advatech intends to vigorously prosecute this matter and seeks to collect all claimed amounts under the terms of the contract; however, Advatech cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in these efforts. The resolution of this matter and any potential range of loss in excess of any current accrual cannot be reasonably determined or estimated at this time primarily because the matter has not been fully arbitrated and presents unique regulatory, bankruptcy and contractual interpretation issues.
