• Net new business awards were $450.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 16.3% from net new business awards of $387.6 million for the comparable prior-year period, which resulted in a net book-to-bill ratio of 1.28x.

• Second quarter of 2022 GAAP net income was $49.4 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, versus GAAP net income of $39.9 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the comparable prior-year period. Net income margin was 14.1% and 14.3% for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

• EBITDA was $68.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 42.0% from EBITDA of $47.9 million for the comparable prior-year period, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 19.4%.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, July 25, 2022-- Medpace Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDP) (“Medpace”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 26.2% to $351.2 million, compared to $278.3 million for the comparable prior-year period. On a constant currency organic basis, revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased 27.7% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Backlog as of June 30, 2022 grew 24.4% to $2.2 billion from $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2021. Net new business awards were $450.6 million, representing a net book-to-bill ratio of 1.28x for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $387.6 million for the comparable prior-year period. The Company calculates the net book-to-bill ratio by dividing net new business awards by revenue.

For the second quarter of 2022, total direct costs were $252.2 million, compared to total direct costs of $203.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $33.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to SG&A expenses of $27.0 million in the second quarter of 2021.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $49.4 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, versus GAAP net income of $39.9 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021. This resulted in a net income margin of 14.1% and 14.3% for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 increased 42.0% to $68.1 million, or 19.4% of revenue, compared to $47.9 million, or 17.2% of revenue, for the comparable prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 increased 35.3% from the second quarter of 2021.

A reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and EBITDA margin to the corresponding GAAP measures is provided below.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company’s Cash and cash equivalents were $42.6 million at June 30, 2022, and the Company generated $96.6 million in cash flow from operating activities during the second quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 2.7 million shares at an average price of $137.86 per share for a total of $374.6 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has completed all authorized share repurchases under the repurchase program.

2022 Financial Guidance

The Company forecasts 2022 revenue in the range of $1.405 billion to $1.435 billion, representing growth of 23.0% to 25.6% over 2021 revenue of $1.142 billion. GAAP net income for full year 2022 is forecasted in the range of $205.0 million to $215.0 million. Additionally, full year 2022 EBITDA is expected in the range of $268.0 million to $280.0 million. Included in the revised forecast, the Company expects an additional foreign exchange headwind on revenue of approximately $4.0 million and a foreign exchange tailwind on EBITDA of approximately $3.0 million related to the strengthening of the US dollar at June 30, 2022 exchange rates. Based on forecasted 2022 revenue of $1.405 billion to $1.435 billion and GAAP net income of $205.0 million to $215.0 million, diluted earnings per share (GAAP) is forecasted in the range of $6.07 to $6.36. This guidance assumes a full year 2022 tax rate of 14.5% to 15.5% and 33.8 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for 2022. This does not reflect the potential impact of any share repurchases the Company may make after June 30, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding our forecasted financial results, the anticipated impacts of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and international risks including the conflict involving Russia, Ukraine and surrounding countries, respectively, on our business, and the effective tax rate used for non-GAAP adjustment purposes. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “guidance,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” “forecast,” “may,” “could,” “likely,” “anticipate,” “project,” “goal,” “objective,” “potential,” “range,” “estimate,” “preliminary,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our financial condition, actual results, performance (including share price performance), or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: the potential loss, delay or non-renewal of our contracts, or the non-payment by customers for services we have performed; the failure to

convert backlog to revenue at our present or historical conversion rate(s); the failure to maintain or generate new business awards; fluctuation in our results between fiscal quarters and years; the risks and uncertainties related to disruptions to or reductions in business operations or prospects due to pandemics, epidemics, widespread health emergencies, or outbreaks of infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease COVID-19; decreased operating margins due to increased pricing pressure or other factors; our failure to perform our services in accordance with contractual requirements, government regulations and ethical considerations; the impact of underpricing our contracts, overrunning our cost estimates or failing to receive approval for or experiencing delays with documentation of change orders; our failure to increase our market share, grow our business, successfully execute our growth strategies or manage our growth effectively; the impact of a failure to retain key executives or other personnel or recruit experienced personnel; the risks associated with our information systems infrastructure, including potential cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions which could compromise patient information or our information; adverse results from customer or therapeutic area concentration; the risks associated with doing business internationally, including the effects of tariffs and trade wars; the risks associated with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws; future net losses; the impact of changes in tax laws and regulations; our failure to attract suitable investigators and patients to our clinical trials; the liability risks associated with our research and development services, including risks of liability resulting from harm to patients; inadequate insurance coverage for our operations and indemnification obligations; fluctuations in exchange rates; general economic conditions, including inflation, in the markets in which we operate, including financial market conditions; the impact of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event; negative outsourcing trends in the biopharmaceutical industry and a reduction in aggregate expenditures and research and development budgets; our inability to compete effectively with other CROs; the impact of healthcare reform; the impact of consolidation in the biopharmaceutical industry; our failure to comply with federal, state and foreign healthcare laws; the effect of current and proposed laws and regulations regarding the protection of personal data; our potential involvement in costly intellectual property lawsuits; actions by regulatory authorities or customers to limit the scope of indications related to or withdraw an approved drug, biologic or medical device from the market; the impact of industry-wide reputational harm to CROs; and the effect of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU, which could have implications on our research, commercial and general business operations in the U.K. and the EU.

These and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and our other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this press release. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. If known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize or if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this press release. While we may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we disclaim any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events, developments or circumstances cause our views to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures presented in this press release, such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin, are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Management uses EBITDA and EBITDA margin or comparable metrics as a measurement used in evaluating our operating performance on a consistent basis, as a consideration to assess incentive compensation for our employees, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget, and to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. See the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this release for our U.S. GAAP results. Additionally, for reconciliations of EBITDA and EBITDA margin to our closest reported U.S. GAAP measures, refer to the appendix of this press release.

We believe that EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash and non-recurring items. While we believe these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors, because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to Medpace Holdings, Inc. before income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by Revenue, net for each period. Our presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
