Aecom Technology Corp. on Wednesday reported 48 percent higher profits in its fiscal fourth quarter, which exceeded Wall Street expectations.

Los Angeles-based Aecom, which provides professional, technical and management support services for government and commercial clients, reported net income of $43.5 million (40 cents per share), compared with net income of $29.4 million (29 cents) a year ago.

The consensus of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call expected earnings of 37 cents a share on revenue of $1.55 billion.
