The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should also read our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 201728, 2018 (“20172018 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements at June 29,December 28, 2018, and for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended June 29,December 28, 2018.
Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Please referEffective the beginning of fiscal first quarter 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including the subsequent ASUs that amended and clarified the related guidance. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of September 29, 2018 (the date of initial application). See Note 1713 - DefinitionsRevenue Accounting for Contracts and Adoption of ASC Topic 606 to the consolidated financial statements.
On October 21, 2018, the Company and WorleyParsons Limited, a company incorporated in Australia (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire the Company’s ECR business for a purchase price of Notes$3.3 billion consisting of (i) $2.6 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of the Buyer, subject to Consolidated Financial Statements includedadjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Buyer, is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2019.
As a result of the Transaction and all facts, management has concluded that the disposal group, which includes our entire ECR business, met the criteria to be held for sale beginning in the current fiscal quarter. Furthermore, we determined that the assets held for sale qualify for discontinued operations reporting under U.S. GAAP. Consequently, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our unaudited consolidated statements of earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Furthermore, current and non-current assets and liabilities of the disposal group are reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for both periods presented. For further discussion see Note 7 - Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business to the consolidated financial statements.
On December 15, 2017, Form 10-K for the definitionsCompany completed the acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (CH2M), an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash (excluding $315.2 million of cash acquired) and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock, or 20.7 million shares, to the former stockholders and certain terms used herein.equity award holders of CH2M. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes, including a $20.0 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700 million of long-term debt. Immediately following the effective time of the acquisition, the Company repaid CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes including the related prepayment penalty. The Company has finalized its purchase accounting processes associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 5- Business Combinations.

2.Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to employ estimates and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the revenues and expenses reported for the periods covered by the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and certain amounts disclosed in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although such estimates and assumptions are based on management’s most recent assessment of the underlying facts and circumstances utilizing the most current information available and past experience, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted accordingly. Please refer to Note 22- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172018 Form 10-K for a discussion of the significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements. See also Note 13- Revenue Accounting for Contracts and Adoption of ASC 606 for a discussion of our updated policies related to revenue recognition.
3.Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented at “fair value.” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the date fair value is determined (the “measurement date”). When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, and we consider only those assumptions we believe a typical market participant would consider when pricing an asset or liability. In measuring fair value, we use the following inputs in the order of priority indicated:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, such as (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) quoted prices in markets that have insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (e.g., less active markets); and (iii) model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the fair value measurement.
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Please refer to Note 22- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172018 Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the various items within the consolidated financial statements measured at fair value and the methods used to determine fair value.
The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 1112- Long TermLong-term Debt for a discussion of the fair value of long-term debt.
4.New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues accounting standards updates (each being an “ASU”) to its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which constitutes the primary source of U.S. GAAP. The Company regularly monitors ASUs as they are issued and considers their applicability to its business. All ASUs applicable to the Company are adopted by their effective dates and in the manner prescribed by the FASB.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance provided by ASU 2014-09 is intended to remove inconsistencies and perceived weaknesses in the existing revenue requirements, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability, provide more useful information and simplify the preparation of financial statements. The effective date for ASU 2014-09 is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein.
The Company’s adoption activities are being performed over three phases: (i) assessment, (ii) design, and (iii) implementation. Our assessment and design phases are complete. We have established a cross-functional team to implement ASU 2014-09. As part of the implementation process, the Company has identified the following potentially significant differences to date:
Performance Obligations
Under current U.S. GAAP, the Company typically segments contracts that contain multiple services by service type, such as engineering, procurement and construction services, for purposes of revenue recognition.
Under ASU 2014-09, multiple-service contracts where the Company is responsible for providing a single deliverable (e.g., a constructed asset) will be treated as a single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition and thus no longer will be segmented. Typically, this will occur when the company is contracted to perform both engineering and construction on a project. In these circumstances, the timing and pattern of revenue recognition will change.
The remainder of the Company's contracts will continue to be treated as a single unit of account because they either contain only one service or because the Company has determined that the component services in the contract are distinct.
Contract Modifications
In many instances, the Company enters into separate contracts for related services (e.g., engineering and construction) but is held responsible for providing a single deliverable (“Phased Projects”). Under ASU 2014-09, the separate contracts may be required to be combined and treated as a single contract with one performance obligation. This modification or combination of contracts may result in a cumulative catchup adjustment, which will have an immediate impact on the Company’s results of operations in the period the contract combination or modification occurs. In addition, it will change the timing and pattern of revenue recognition after the period the contracts have been combined or modified. The Company analyzed its current Phased Projects and concluded that a number of these arrangements would be combined under ASU 2014-09.
Based on the two noted changes above, the Company has identified selected changes to our systems, processes and internal controls and designed updates for each to meet the standard's revised reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company has also assessed the impact of ASU 2014-09 to the recently acquired CH2M business. We will align CH2M's accounting policies, processes and controls with the policies, processes and controls being implemented across the Company.
The Company will adopt the new standard using the Modified Retrospective application. This standard could have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and an administrative impact on its operations. The impact will depend on the magnitude of the items discussed above. While the Company will continue to evaluate the impact through the implementation phase, we expect a downward adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption due to revenue timing for certain engineering and construction contracts shifting when they are accounted for as a single performance obligation.
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entity financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new guidance currently requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. In January 2018, the FASB released an exposure draftASU 2016-02 was further clarified and amended within ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 which included provisions that if issued in its current form, would provide us with the option to adopt the provisions of the new guidance prospectively,using a modified retrospective transition approach, without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. This standard could have a significant administrative impact on its operations, and the Company will further assess the impact through its implementation program.
Other Pronouncements
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in

Page 11

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

net income unless the investments qualify for a practicability exception. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the current quarter.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 provides financial reporting improvements related to hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. Additionally, ASU No. 2017-12 makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The revised guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. It is not expected that the updated guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will now recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have any impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation- Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This new standard intends to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The new standard requires the service cost component of net periodic cost be reported in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs and all other components of the net periodic cost be reported in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income below operating income. ASU 2017-7 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-07 will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2018-02 will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
5.Business Combinations
On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (CH2M), an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The purpose of the acquisition was to further diversify the Company’s presence in the water, nuclear and environmental remediation sectors and to further the Company’s profitable growth strategy. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash (excluding $315.2 million of cash acquired) and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock, or 20.7 million shares, to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes, including a $20.0 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700 million of long-term debt. Immediately following the effective time of the acquisition, the Company repaid CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes including the related prepayment penalty.

The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional information is obtained. Goodwill recognized from the acquisition largely results from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has not completed its final assessment of the fair values of purchased receivables, intangiblethe acquired assets and liabilities property, equipmentof CH2M. Accrued liabilities and improvements, tax balances,other deferred liabilities include approximately $404.7 million for estimates related to various legal and other pre-acquisition contingent liabilities long-term leases or acquired contracts. The final purchase price allocation will result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill.accounted for under ASC 450. See Note 18,18- Commitments and Contingencies, relating to CH2M contingencies.

Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the first quarter of 2018, the Company has updated certain provisional amounts reflected in the preliminaryfinal purchase price allocation, as summarized in the estimated fair values of CH2M assets acquired and liabilities assumed as set forth above. Specifically, the carrying amount of the intangible assets discussed above were decreased by $186.2 million as a result of valuation adjustments. Additionally, the carrying amount of property, equipment and improvements, net decreased by $50.5 million to reflect its estimated fair value, receivables decreased $45.9$81.3 million and accrued liabilities and other deferred liabilities increased $60.3$352.9 million, respectively, primarily related to contracts.provisional estimates related to various legal and other pre-acquisition contingent liabilities. Further, miscellaneous long-term assets increased $75.8$266.2 million largely due to the deferred tax impact of these valuation adjustments. As a result of these adjustments to the initial preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill has increased $268.3$402.2 million. Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

Customer relationships, contracts and backlog intangibles represent the fair value of existing contracts, the underlying customer relationships and backlog of consolidated subsidiaries and have lives ranging from 9 to 11 years (weighted average life of approximately 10 years). Other intangible assets and liabilities primarily consist of the fair value of office leases and have a weighted average life of approximately 10 years.

Page 13

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Estimated fairFair value measurements relating to the CH2M acquisition are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow techniques. Fair value is estimated using inputs primarily from the income approach, which include the use of both the multiple period excess earnings method and the relief from royalties method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) the estimated life the asset will contribute to cash flows, such as attrition rate of customers or remaining contractual terms, (ii) profitability and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflectreflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. The estimated fair value of land has been determined using the market approach, which arrives at an indication of value by comparing the site being valued to sites that have been recently acquired in arm’s-length transactions. Buildings and land improvements are valued using the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. Other personal property assets such as furniture, fixtures and equipment are valued using the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation.
Other deferred liabilities were comprised primarily of pensions and other long-term employee related liabilities totaling approximately $291.0 million.
From the acquisition date of December 15, 2017 through the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2018,December 29, 2017, CH2M contributed approximately $2.5 billion$131.0 million in revenue and $87.9$15.7 million in pretax incomenet earnings included in the accompanying consolidated statementConsolidated Statement of earnings.Earnings. Included in these results were approximately $93.3$30.0 million in pre-tax restructuring and transaction costs.

6.Goodwill and Intangibles
As a result of the refinement of the segment realignment in the priorthis quarter (See Note 7,8- Segment Information), a portion of the historical carrying value of goodwill for the former Aerospace, Technology, Environmental and Nuclear segment was allocated to the three remaining reportable segments to present balancesBuildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities segment on a comparable basis.relative fair value basis to reflect the movement of the Global Environmental Solutions ("GES") business between segments. Additionally, because of the pending sale of the Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") line of business (see Note 7- Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business) which is now reflected as discontinued operations, the goodwill balance associated with ECR has been reclassified to noncurrent assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of goodwill associated with continuing

During the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company determined that its prior financial statements contained immaterial misstatements related to incorrect translation of the Company’s non-U.S. goodwill balances from local currency to the U.S. Dollar reporting currency. It was determined that the Company had incorrectly used historical translation rates for the U.S. Dollar in place at the time of the Company’s recording of its foreign goodwill balances rather than using current translation rates at each balance sheet date in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The error dated back to the time of our initial reporting of non-US goodwill balances in the late 1990s and affected our historical quarterly and annual reporting periods through the first fiscal quarter of 2017. Goodwill and accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company’s September 30, 2016 consolidated balance sheet (which have not been adjusted) were each overstated by $209.9 million and was corrected in the first fiscal quarter of 2017 foreign currency translation adjustment.  Consequently, the correction was a direct component of the overall translation adjustment amount of $287.5 million that was reported for the three months ended December 30, 2016. These adjustments had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Cash Flows.

7.Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business
On October 21, 2018, Jacobs and WorleyParsons Limited, a company incorporated in Australia, entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire the Company’s ECR business for a purchase price of $3.3 billion consisting of (i) $2.6 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of the Buyer, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items. The amounts below include preliminary amortization estimatesTransaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Buyer, is expected to close in the first half of calendar2019. The completion of the Transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (iii) the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods and the receipt of all applicable approvals required pursuant to or in connection with the competition laws of certain foreign jurisdictions in which the ECR business operates, (iv) the receipt of approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), (v) the completion of a certain number of agreed upon steps of the pre-closing restructuring activities  and (vi) the transfer

of certain owned real property of the ECR business.  On November 2, 2018, Jacobs and the Buyer filed their Premerger Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.  On December 3, 2018, the required 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act expired.  In addition, the requisite waiting periods and approvals under the competition laws of the European Union and Canada have been satisfied. Jacobs and WorleyParsons Limited previously submitted a joint voluntary notice seeking CFIUS approval which was accepted for review beginning February 4, 2019. Additional regulatory approvals are required to be obtained as a condition to closing.
As a result of the Transaction and all relevant facts, the Company has concluded that the assets and liabilities to be sold in the Transaction (the "Disposal Group"), which includes our entire ECR business, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale beginning in the current fiscal quarter in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, we determined that the assets held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Furthermore, current and non-current assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group are reflected in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for both periods presented.

The Company incurred approximately $6.3 million in related transaction costs (mainly professional service fees) for the CH2M opening balance sheet fair valuesECR sale during the three months ended December 28, 2018.

7.Segment Information
8.     Segment Information
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure around three lines of business (“LOBs”), which also serve as the Company’s operating segments. This reorganization occurred in conjunction with the integration of CH2M into the Company's legacy businesses, and is intended to better serve our global clients, leverage our workforce, help streamline operations and provide enhanced growth opportunities. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we further refined our operating segment structure to move the GES business from the ATN segment to the BIAF segment to further align with the management and reporting structure of the business. The three global LOBs are as follows: Aerospace, Technology Environmental and Nuclear ("ATEN"ATN"); Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities ("BIAF"); and Energy, Chemicals and Resources. Because the results from our ECR business formerly reported as a stand-alone segment are reflected in our unaudited consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented, they are not reflected in the separate segment disclosures below. For further information, refer to Note 7- Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR"). Previously, the Company operated its business around four operating segments: Petroleum & Chemicals, Buildings & Infrastructure, Aerospace & Technology, and Industrial. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, management no longer views or manages our Industrial line of business as a separate, distinct operating segment. Therefore, the elements of our former Industrial business are now presented within each of the three current operating segments as appropriate. Business.
The Company’s LOB leadership and internal reporting structures report to the Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and enable the CODM tocan evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments. For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria for reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.
Under the newthis organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. The sales function is managed on an LOB basis, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the new segments and reported to the respective LOB presidents. In addition, a portion of the costs of other support functions (e.g., finance, legal, human resources, and information technology) is allocated to each LOB using methodologies which, we believe, effectively attribute the cost of these support functions to the revenue generating activities of the Company on a rational basis. The cost of the Company’s cash incentive plan, the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), and the expense associated with the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (“1999 SIP”) have likewise been charged to the LOBs except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in other corporate expenses).
Financial information for each LOB is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The Company generally does not track assets by LOB, nor does it provide such information to the CODM.

Page 17

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our LOBs using segment operating profit, which is defined as margin less “corporate charges” (e.g., the allocated amounts described above). The Company incurs certain Selling, General and Administrative costs (“SG&A”) that relate to its business as a whole which are not allocated to the LOBs.
On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M. For purposes of the Company’s third quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s new LOB business structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the time period during which CH2M has been under the ownership of the Company being allocated to the Company’s ATEN, BIAF and ECR lines of business under a transitional business organization structure. The Company has not completed its final assessment of the CH2M purchase price allocation, including the fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Previously, receivables related to contractual milestones or achievement of certain milestones, or completion of the project.performance-based targets were included in unbilled receivables. These are now included in contract assets. We anticipate that substantially all of such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.

10.RestructuringJoint Ventures and Other ChargesVIEs
As is common to the industry, we execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures. Although the joint ventures own and hold the contracts with the clients, the services required by the contracts are typically performed by us and our joint venture partners, or by other subcontractors under subcontracting agreements with the joint ventures. Many of these joint ventures are formed for a specific project. The assets of our joint ventures generally consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from clients), and the liabilities of our joint ventures generally consist almost entirely of amounts due to the joint venture partners (for services provided by the partners to the joint ventures under their individual subcontracts) and other subcontractors. Many of the joint ventures are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) because they lack sufficient equity to finance the activities of the joint venture.
For consolidated joint ventures, the entire amount of the services performed, and the costs associated with these services, including the services provided by the other joint venture partners, are included in the Company's result of operations. Likewise, the entire amount of each of the assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $200.3 million and $123.6 million, respectively, as of December 28, 2018 and $162.3 million and $86.1 million, respectively as of September 28, 2018. There are no consolidated VIEs that have debt or credit facilities.
Unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under proportionate consolidation or the equity method. Proportionate consolidation is used for joint ventures that include unincorporated legal entities and activities of the joint venture are construction-related. For those joint ventures accounted for under proportionate consolidation, only the Company’s pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenue, and costs are included in the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations. For the proportionate consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $92.2 million and $88.0 million as of December 28, 2018, respectively and $85.2 million and $75.9 million as of September 28, 2018, respectively. For those joint ventures accounted for under

Page 19

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

the equity method, the Company's investment balances for the joint venture are included in Other Noncurrent Assets: Miscellaneous on the balance sheet and the Company’s pro rata share of net income is included in revenue. In limited cases, there are basis differences between the equity in the joint venture and Jacobs' investment created when Jacobs purchased its share of the joint venture. These basis differences are amortized based on an internal allocation to underlying net assets. As of December 28, 2018, the Company’s equity method investments exceeded its share of venture net assets by $74.2 million. Our investments in equity method joint ventures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 28, 2018 and September 28, 2018 was a net asset of $136.8 million and $148.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 28, 2018 and December 29, 2017, we recognized income from equity method joint ventures of $10.2 million and $8.2 million, respectively.
Accounts receivable from unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method is $10.6 million and $11.1 million as of December 28, 2018 and September 28, 2018, respectively.

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring and pre-integration plans associated with the then pending acquisition of CH2M, which closed on December 15, 2017.  The restructuring activities and related costs under these plans were comprised mainly of severance and lease abandonment programs, while the pre-integration activities and costs were mainly related to the engagement of consulting services and internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to the Company’s acquisition integration management efforts. 
Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have

continued into the first three quarters of 2018fiscal 2019 and include restructuring activities amounting to approximately $33.98.2 million and $94.6$5.5 million in pre-tax charges during the three months ended December 28, 2018 and nine month periods ended JuneDecember 29, 2018,2017, respectively. The integration activities for the same periods amounted to approximately $12.6$26.0 million and $40.6$13.8 million in pre-tax charges for the three and nine months ended JuneDecember 28, 2018 and December 29, 2018,2017, respectively. These activities are expected to continue through fiscal 2019 and2019. These activities are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.

During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company entered into strategic business restructuring activities associated with realignment of its Europe, United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Middle East regional operations in our BIAF segment. Pre-tax net charges of $22.6 million were recorded associated mainly with net realizable value write-offs on contract accounts receivable of $16.5 million, with additional charges recorded for statutory redundancy and severance costs of $1.4 million and other liabilities of $4.7 million which are both expected to be paid or settled within the next twelve months.

2015 Restructuring Plan
During the second fiscal quarter of 2015, the Company began implementing a series of initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better position itself to drive growth of the business in the future. We refer to these initiatives, in the aggregate, as the “2015 Restructuring”. These activities evolved and developed over time as management identified and evaluated opportunities for changes in the Company’s operations (and related areas of potential cost savings), as economic conditions changed and as the realignment of the Company’s operations into its then four global LOBs was implemented. Actions related to the 2015 Restructuring included involuntary terminations, the abandonment of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations, and the colocation of employees into other existing offices.offices, and the realignment of the Company's Europe, U.K. and Middle East regional operations. These activities did not involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets. The 2015 Restructuring was completed in fiscal 2017, although related cash payments continue to be made under the related accruals recorded in connection with these activities.

Collectively, the above mentionedabove-mentioned restructuring activities are referred to as “Restructuring and other charges.”

On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of large U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility provides an accordion feature that allows the Company and the lenders to increase the facility amount to $2.1 billion. On September 28, 2017,November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a SecondThird Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for, among other things, an amendmentthe designation as a permitted transaction of the disposition of all or any portion of the ECR business, including in a transaction with WorleyParsons Limited which is consistent in all material respects with the sale transaction announced by the Company on October 21, 2018 (the “ECR Disposition”), and the automatic release of certain designated borrowers party to certain financial definitions used in the Revolving Credit Facility, including “Consolidated EBITDA” and increasesAgreement in connection with the permitted leverage ratio on a short-term basis in relation to the acquisition of

The Revolving Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow under two separate tranches in U.S. dollars, certain specified foreign currencies, and any other currency that may be approved in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $300.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $50.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the time any such letter of credit is issued.Ratio. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.100%0.10% and 0.250%0.25% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of euro currency loans. The Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative, and financial covenants customary for financings of this type including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, investments, liens, acquisitions, dispositions, fundamental changes and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 29,December 28, 2018.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the(as amended, the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and letter of credit issuers. We incurred loans under the Term Loan Facility on December 15, 2017 in connection with the closing of the CH2M acquisition in order to pay cash consideration for the acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the Term Loan Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of eurocurrency loans. On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, which provides for, among other things, the amendment of certain provisions of the Term Loan Facility to permit the ECR Disposition. The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, investments, liens, acquisitions, dispositions fundamental changes and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Term Loan Facility at June 29,December 28, 2018.

On March 12, 2018, Jacobs entered into a note purchase agreement (as amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement") with respect to the issuance and sale in a private placement transaction of $500.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes in three series (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company's consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points. The Senior Notes may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole premium. The sale of the Senior Notes closed on May 15, 2018. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of Senior Notes to repay certain existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. The Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, covenants to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and maximum consolidated leverage ratio and limitations on certain other indebtedness, liens, mergers, dispositions and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement at June 29,December 28, 2018.
In conjunction with the acquisition of CH2M, the Company assumed certain long-term financing that was incurred by CH2M prior to the acquisition. The total balance included in long-term debt assumed as of June 29,December 28, 2018 and September 28, 2018 was $3.1$0.04 million and $0.04 million, which is primarily comprised of equipment financing, bearing interest rates ranging from 0.22% to 3.29% due in monthly installments through September 2021.

We believe the carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and Other debt outstanding approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. The fair value of the Senior Notes is estimated to be $498.4$497.1 million at June 29,December 28, 2018, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with similar terms and average maturities.
The Company has issued $2.5 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.3 billion$923.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 29,December 28, 2018. In addition, the Company had issued $446.7$469.6 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $449.2$472.1 million at June 29,December 28, 2018.
12.Revenue Accounting for Contracts / Accounting for Joint Ventures
13.    Revenue Accounting for Contracts and Adoption of ASC Topic 606
We recognizeOn September 29, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including the subsequent ASUs that amended and clarified the related guidance.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed or substantially completed as of September 29, 2018 (the date of initial application). As a result, the Company has recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $37.2 million which is net of $10.3 million of tax. As a result, the Company has recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, to decrease retained earnings related to continuing operations by $21.2 million (net of tax) and retained earnings related to discontinued operations by $16.0 million (net of tax) as of September 29, 2018 as well as the following cumulative effect adjustments:
Continuing operations
An increase to Deferred Income Tax Assets included within miscellaneous assets of $5.4 million;
An increase to Contract liabilities of $15.2 million;
A decrease to Receivables of $11.4 million;
Discontinued operations
An increase to Current liabilities held for sale of $0.6 million
A decrease to Current assets held for sale of $15.4 million;
The decrease in retained earnings primarily resulted from a change in the manner in which the Company determines the performance obligations for its projects. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company typically segmented contracts that contained multiple services by service type - for instance, engineering, procurement and construction services - for purposes of revenue earned on our technical professional and field services projectsmargin recognition. Under ASC 606, multiple-service contracts where the Company is responsible for providing a single deliverable (e.g. a constructed asset) will be treated as a single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition and thus no longer will be segmented if the individual service types are not identified as distinct performance obligations under the percentage-of-completion method describedcontract. Typically, this will occur when the Company is contracted to perform both engineering and construction on a project.
The following table presents how the adoption of ASC Topic 606 affected certain line items in ASC 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In general, we recognize revenues at the time we provide services. Precontract costs are generally expensed as incurred, unless they are directly associated with anConsolidated Statements of Earnings:

anticipated contract and recoverability from that contract is probable. Contracts are generally segmented between types of services, such as project services and construction, and accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered. For multiple contracts with a single customer we account for each contract separately.

The revised accounting policy on revenue recognition is provided below for revenue recognized following the adoption of ASC Topic 606. For periods presented prior to September 29, 2018, our 2017revenue recognition policies are summarized in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Certain cost-reimbursableEngineering, Procurement & Construction Contracts and Service Contracts
The Company recognizes engineering, procurement, and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606, contracts which include engineering, procurement and construction services are generally accounted for as a single deliverable (a single performance obligation) and are no longer segmented between types of services. In some instances, the Company’s services associated with a construction activity are limited only to specific tasks such as customer support, consulting or supervisory services. In these instances, the services are typically identified as separate performance obligations.
The Company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared to total estimated contract costs. The percentage-of-completion method (an input method) is the most

Page 24

representative depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Subcontractor materials, labor and equipment and, in certain cases, customer-furnished materials and labor and equipment are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that the company is acting as a principal rather than as an agent (e.g., the company integrates the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer or is otherwise primarily responsible for fulfillment and acceptability of the materials, labor and/or equipment). The Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, on certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled materials is recognized when control is transferred. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Under the typical payment terms of our engineering, procurement and construction contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) and customer payments on are typically due within 30 to 60 days of billing, depending on the contract.
For service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset within receivables and contract assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under contract liabilities. In some instances where the Company is standing ready to provide services, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the service period. Under the typical payment terms of our service contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, and customer payments are typically due within 30 to 60 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Direct costs of contracts include incentive-fee arrangements. These incentive fees can be based onall costs incurred in connection with and directly for the benefit of client contracts, including depreciation and amortization relating to assets used in providing the services required by the related projects. The level of direct costs of contracts may fluctuate between reporting periods due to a variety of factors, but the most common are the achievement of target completion dates, target costs, and/or other performance criteria. Failure to meet these targets can result in unrealized incentive fees. We recognize incentive fees based on expected results using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As the contract progresses and more information becomes available, the estimate of the anticipated incentive fee that will be earned is revised as necessary. We bill incentive fees based on the terms and conditions of the individual contracts.In certain situations, we are allowed to bill a portion of the incentive fees over the performance period of the contract.In other situations, we are allowed to bill incentive fees only after the target criterion has been achieved. Incentive fees which have been recognized but not billed are included in receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain cost-reimbursable contracts with government customers as well as certain commercial clients provide that contract costs are subject to audit and adjustment.In this situation, revenues are recorded at the time services are performed based upon the amounts we expect to realize upon completion of the contracts.In those situations where an audit indicates that we may have billed a client for costs not allowable under the terms of the contract, we estimateincluding the amount of such non-billablepass-through costs and adjust our revenues accordingly.
Whenwe incur during a period. On those projects where we are directly responsibleacting as principal for subcontractorsubcontract labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the costsamounts of such items in both revenues and costs (and we refer to such costs as “pass-through” costs)“pass-through costs”). On those projects where
Variable Consideration
The nature of the client electsCompany’s contracts gives rise to payseveral types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change orders; awards and incentive fees; and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved change orders are met, revenue is recorded only when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been incurred and only up to the amount of cost incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery of such itemscost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its engineering and construction contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on the project. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred for which the Company was not compensated for by the customer.
Practical Expedient
 If the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance completed to date (a service contract in which the company bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice for services performed.

The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.
Disaggregation of Revenues
Our revenues are principally derived from contracts to provide a diverse range of technical, professional, and construction services to a large number of industrial, commercial, and governmental clients. Our contracts are with many different customers in numerous industries. Refer to Note 8- Segment Information for additional information on how we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not reflected in eitherdisaggregate our revenues or costs.by reportable segment, as well as a more complete description of our business.

As is commonContract Liabilities
Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. Amounts classified as “Billings in excess of costs” on the industry, we execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures and consortiums. Although the joint ventures own and hold the contracts with the clients, the services required by the contracts are typically performed by us and our joint venture partners, or by other subcontractors under subcontracting agreements with the joint ventures. The assetsConsolidated Balance Sheets of our joint ventures, therefore, consist almost entirely2018 Form 10-K have been renamed to “Contract liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The increase in contract liabilities was a result of cashnormal business activity and receivables (representing amounts due from clients),not materially impacted by any other factors. Revenue recognized for the three months ended December 28, 2018 that was included in the contract liability balance on September 28, 2018 was $225.2 million.
Remaining Performance Obligations     
The Company’s remaining performance obligations as of December 28, 2018 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company had approximately $12.4 billion in remaining performance obligations as of December 28, 2018. The Company expects to recognize 57% of our remaining performance obligations within the next twelve months and the liabilities of our joint ventures consist almost entirely of amounts due to the joint venture partners (for services provided by the partners to the joint ventures under their individual subcontracts) and other subcontractors. In general, at any given time, the equity of our joint ventures represents the undistributed profits earned on contracts the joint ventures hold with clients. Very few of our joint ventures have employees. None of our joint ventures have third-party debt or credit facilities. Under U.S. GAAP, our share of profits and losses associated with the contracts held by the joint venturesremaining 43% thereafter.
Although remaining performance obligations reflect business that is reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain of our joint ventures meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In evaluating our VIEs for possible consolidation, we perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not we have a “controlling financial interest” in the VIE as defined by U.S. GAAP. We consolidate only those VIEs over which we have been determinedconsidered to be firm, cancellations, scope adjustments, foreign currency exchange fluctuations or deferrals may occur that impact their volume or the primary beneficiary.expected timing of their recognition. Remaining performance obligations are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, Compensation- Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the service cost component of net periodic pension expense has been presented in the same line item as other compensation costs (direct cost of contracts and selling, general and administrative expenses) and the other components of net periodic pension expense have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expense and direct cost of contracts and instead presented in miscellaneous income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended December 28, 2018 and December 29, 2017 in the amount of $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company elected to discontinue the CH2M Hill Retiree Medical Plan and the OMI Retiree Medical Plan, effective December 31, 2018. Lump sum payments were made to certain participants in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, resulting in a partial plan settlement and related settlement gain of $2.2 million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, lump sum payments were made to remaining plan participants and the plans were fully settled, resulting in an additional $32.0 million in settlement gains which will be recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
On January 1, 2019, the CH2M Hill Pension Plan and the CH2M Hill IDC Pension Plan merged into its Sverdrup Pension Plan. The newly combined plan is called the Jacobs Consolidated Pension Plan. In December 2017, the Company incurred a settlement loss of approximately $3.8 million related to its Sverdrup pension planPension Plan in the U.S.

14.Share-based Payments
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company adopted ASU No 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting. As a result, the cash paid by the Company to taxing authorities as a result of withholding shares for the exercise of employee stock awards is classified as financing activity and this change is adopted retrospectively. Additionally, all excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in our provision for income taxes are now classified as an operating activity along with other income taxes in the statement of cash flows and this change is applied prospectively. These items were historically recorded in additional paid-in capital and in financing activities. The amount recognized by the Company in excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018 was not material.
Finally, we have elected to begin accounting for share-based compensation award forfeitures when they occur instead of estimating the number of forfeitures expected in accordance with the new guidance. This change in accounting policy for share-based compensation award forfeitures resulted in a $1.8 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle to retained earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

16.Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act reducedStates and significantly revised the U.S. corporate U.S. federal statutoryincome tax rate from 35% to 21% starting on January 1, 2018, resulting in a blended statutory tax rate for fiscal year filers. The Company’s blended federal statutory tax rate for fiscal 2018 is 24.6%. It also requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, places limitations and exclusions on varied tax deductions and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. The majority of the tax provisions, excluding the change in corporate tax rates, are effective for the first tax year beginning after January 1, 2018, which will be the Company’s taxable year beginning fiscal 2019.
laws. Given the significance of the legislation, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar tolike that used when accounting for business combinations. However, the measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting. During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed.
SAB 118 summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Act.
As of June 29,December 22, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Act. However, we have made a provisional estimate of the effects of the statutory tax rate reduction impact on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. We are not yet able to make a reasonable estimate on the other aspects of the Act and continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment of the Act.
For the deferred tax balances, we remeasured the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The Company’s revised provisional remeasurement resulted in a $14.0 million net unfavorable discrete chargecumulative charges to income tax expense of $144.4 million for the nine months ended June 29, 2018. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 the Company recorded a provisional valuation allowance with respect to certain foreign tax credit deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act in the amount of $52.5 million. We are still analyzing many aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax assets and liabilities.
period. The Act calls for a one-time tax on deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. This one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. We have made a provisional estimate ofrecorded $14.3 million in cumulative transition taxes during the measurement period, although the transition tax. Based upon our review oftax is expected to be offset by foreign tax credits in the Company’s historicalfuture and resulting in no additional cash tax liability. In addition, the Company recorded $104.2 million in cumulative valuation expense charges during the measurement period with respect to certain foreign tax credit position and post-1986 E&P, it is estimated at this time that the Company should havedeferred tax assets as a $13.1 million expense related to the transition tax. The Company has sufficient foreign tax credits that are expected to offset the transition tax. The net tax cash impact is anticipated to be zero. However, we are still in the process of completing our calculationresult of the total post-1986 E&P for the newly acquired foreign subsidiaries related to the recentTax Act and CH2M acquisition. Our estimate may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets.integration.

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2018 decreased to 22.2% from 30.4% when compared to the corresponding period last year. The decrease in the quarterly effective tax rate is primarily duefrom continuing operations increased to 24.7% for first quarter fiscal 2019, up significantly in comparison to the reduction in the U.S. statutoryeffective tax rate a $3.6 million discrete benefit related to internal revenue service code section 179D, a nonrecurring benefit of $2.8 million related to tax accounting method changes and a $5.7 million federal hurricane credit.
The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 was 42.7%, an increase(405.8)% from 29.2%continuing operations for the corresponding period last year. The year over yearThis increase was due primarily to nonrecurring tax items included in the effectivefirst quarter fiscal 2018 income taxes associated with valuation charges of $53.0 million on foreign tax rate is primarily due to an increase of $60.1 million in net discrete charges during the nine-month period. The increase in the discrete charges was primarily comprised of a valuation allowance charge of $52.5 millioncredits and a $14.0partially offsetting $24.0 million detrimentbenefit from the provisional remeasurement of deferred taxes in accordance with changes in tax rates from the deferred tax items inAct. See Note 7- Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business for further information on the U.S, offset by a $5.7 million benefit related to a federal hurricane credit.Company's discontinued operations reporting for the sale of the ECR business.
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.
It is reasonably possible that, during the next twelve months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $7.2$12.6 million as a result of concluding various tax audits and closing tax years.
On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M. For income tax purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a stock purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the Company adjusted its U.S. GAAP opening balance sheet of CH2M to reflect preliminary estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired.  For income tax purposes, the tax attributes and basis of net assets acquired carryover without any step-up to fair value. The Company has made preliminary estimates and recorded deferred taxes associated with the purchase accounting. It is expected that the Company will make adjustments to the purchase accounting over the relevant measurement period as allowed by ASC 805. 
17.Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings. Net earnings used for the purpose of determining basic and diluted EPS is determined by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities.

18.Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we make contractual commitments some of which are supported by separate guarantees; and on occasion we are a party in a litigation or arbitration proceeding. The litigation or arbitration in which we are involved includes personal injury claims, professional liability claims and breach of contract claims. In most cases, we are the defendant. Where we provide a separate guarantee, it is strictly in support of the underlying contractual commitment. Guarantees take various forms including surety bonds required by law, or standby letters of credit ("LOC") (also referred to as “bank guarantees”) or corporate guarantees given to induce a party to enter into a contract with a subsidiary. Standby LOCs are also used as security for advance payments or in various other transactions. The guarantees have various expiration dates ranging from an arbitrary date to completion of our work (e.g., engineering only) to completion of the overall project.
At June 29,December 28, 2018 and September 30, 2017,28, 2018, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $449.2$472.1 million and $262.1$446.6 million, respectively, in LOCs and $875.3 million$1.3 billion and $57.4$870.3 million, respectively, in surety bonds.
We maintain insurance coverage for most insurable aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits depending upon the type of insurance and include certain conditions and exclusions which insurance companies may raise in response to any claim that the Company brings. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses and liabilities that occur through the use ofusing various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. As a result, we may be subject to a future liability for which we are only partially insured or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the terms and conditions of the contracts which the Company enters with its clients. Our insurers are also subject to business risk and, as a result, one or more of them may be unable to fulfill their insurance obligations due to insolvency or otherwise.
Additionally, as a contractor providing services to the U.S. federal government we are subject to many types of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the government including with respect to contract performance, pricing, cost allocations, procurement practices, labor practices, and socioeconomic obligations. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states within the U.S.,United States, as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the U.S.United States.

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts representing our probable estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, audits, and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, as well as for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations. Insurance recoveries are recorded as assets if recovery is probable and estimated liabilities are not reduced by expected insurance recoveries.
The Company believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, U.S. government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
On September 30, 2015, Nui Phao Mining Company Limited (“NPMC”) commenced arbitration proceedings against Jacobs E&C Australia Pty Limited (“Jacobs E&C”). The arbitration is pending in Singapore before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. In March 2011, Jacobs E&C was engaged by NPMC for the provision of management, design, engineering, and procurement services for the Nui Phao mine/mineral processing project in Vietnam. In the Notice of Arbitration and in a subsequently filed Statement of Claim and Supplementary Statement of Claim dated February 1, 2016 and February 26, 2016, respectively, NPMC asserts various causes of action and alleges that the quantum of its claim exceeds $167.0 million. Jacobs has denied liability and is vigorously defending this claim. A three-week hearing on the merits concluded on December 15, 2017 and a decision is expected later this year.in early 2019.  The Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
On December 7, 2009, the Judicial Council of California, Administrative Office of the Courts (“AOC”) initiated an action in the San Francisco County Superior Court against Jacobs Facilities Inc. (“JFI”) and Jacobs Project Management (“JPM”) and subsequently added Jacobs as a defendant. The action arises out of a contract between AOC and JFI pursuant to which JFI provided regular maintenance and repairs at certain AOC court facilities. AOC has alleged, among other things, that the Jacobs entities are required under California’s Contractors’ State License Law (“CSLL”) to disgorge certain fees paid by AOC, and the Jacobs entities
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

have, among other things, cross-claimed for unpaid sums for work performed. On May 2, 2012, the jury returned a special verdict in favor of the Jacobs entities finding, among other things, JPM was owed approximately $4.7 million in unpaid fees and that JFI was not required to disgorge the approximate $18.3 million that AOC had paid for work performed. On August 20, 2015, the California Court of Appeal reversed the jury’s verdict, holding that JFI had violated the CSLL. The Court of Appeal remanded to the San Francisco County Superior Court for an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the JFI had “substantially complied” with the CSLL under California Business and Professions Code Section 7031(e). Establishing “substantial compliance” would prevent $18.3 million in disgorgement against Jacobs and permit Jacobs to recover $4.7 million. The evidentiary hearing on substantial compliance was conducted between July 18 and August 5, 2016. On December 29, 2016, the court issued a Statement of Decision in favor of the Company, finding that JFI had substantially complied with the CSLL, and entered a judgment in favor of JPM in the amount of $4.7 million plus prejudgment interest. On January 30, 2017, AOC filed a notice of appeal. On July 13, 2018, the parties agreed to settle this matter. The resolution does not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In 2012, CH2M HILL Australia Pty Limited, a subsidiary of CH2M, entered into a 50/50 integrated joint venture with Australian construction contractor UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited. The joint venture entered into a Consortium Agreement with General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. The Consortium was awarded a subcontract by JKC Australia LNG Pty Limited for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 360 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant for INPEX Operations Australia Pty Limited at Blaydin Point, Darwin, NT, Australia. In January 2017, the Consortium terminated the Subcontract because of JKC’s repudiatory breach and demobilized from the work site. JKC claimed the Consortium abandoned the work and itself purported to terminate the Subcontract. The Consortium and JKC are now in dispute over the termination. In August 2017, the Consortium filed an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration against JKC forand is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of $665.5approximately $530.0 million for repudiatory breach or, in the alternative, seeking damages for unresolved contract claims and change orders. JKC has provided a preliminary estimate of the monetary value of its claims in the amount of approximately $1.7 billion and has drawn on bonds, CH2M's share of which totals approximately $26 million.bonds. This draw on bonds does not impact the Company's ultimate liability. A decisionhearing in this matter is notscheduled to begin in February 2020 and no decision is expected before 2020.  In September 2018, JKC filed a declaratory judgment action in Western Australia alleging that the entities which executed parent company guaranties for the Consortium, including CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd., have an obligation to pay JKC’s ongoing costs to complete the project after termination.  A hearing in that matter is scheduled for March 2019. If the Consortium is found liable, this matterthese matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and /or cash flows, particularly in the short term. However, the Consortium has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims and pursuing its affirmative claims against JKC, and based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 5- Business Combinations for further information relating to CH2M contingencies.

In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:
The discussion of the critical and significant accounting policies used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The most current discussion of our critical accounting policies appears in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 20172018 Form 10-K, and the most current discussion of our significant accounting policies appears in Note 2,2- Significant Accounting Polices in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 20172018 Form 10-K;10-K. See also Note 13- Revenue Accounting for Contracts and Adoption of ASC 606 for a discussion of our updated policies related to revenue recognition;
The Company’s fiscal 20172018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20172018 Form 10-K; and
Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 20172018 Form 10-K.
In addition to historical information, this MD&A and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact. When used herein, words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “future,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although such statements are based on management’s current estimates and expectations, and/or currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what may be inferred from the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 20172018 Form 10-K and ourthis subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of 2018.10-Q. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read carefully the risk factors, as well as the financial and business disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Lines of Business
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure around three global lines of business (“LOBs”), which also serve as the Company’s operating segments:segments. The three lines of business are as follows: (i) Aerospace, Technology Environmental and Nuclear, (ii) Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities, and (iii) Energy, Chemicals and Resources. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we further refined our operating segment structure to move the Global Environmental Solutions ("GES") business from the ATN segment to the BIAF segment. This reorganization occurred in conjunction with the integration of CH2M into the Company's legacy businesses, and is intended to better serve our global clients, leverage our workforce, help streamline operations, and provide enhanced growth opportunities.
The Company’s LOB leadership and internal reporting structures report to the Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and enable the CODM tocan evaluate the performance of each of these segments and make appropriate resource allocations among each of the segments. For purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing, it has been determined that the Company’s operating segments are also its reporting units based on management’s conclusion that the components comprising each of its operating segments share similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria for reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.
Under the new organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. The sales function is managed on an LOB basis, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the new segments and reported to the respective LOB presidents. In addition, a portion of the costs of other support functions (e.g., finance, legal, human resources, and information technology) is allocated to each LOB using methodologies which, we believe, effectively attribute the cost of these support functions to the revenue generating activities of the Company on a rational basis. The cost of the Company’s cash incentive plan, the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) and the expense associated with the Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (“1999 SIP”) have likewise been charged to the LOBs except for those amounts determined to relate to the business as a whole (which amounts remain in other corporate expenses).

Energy, Chemicals and Resources (ECR)
ECR Disposition
On October 21, 2018, Jacobs and WorleyParsons Limited, a company incorporated in Australia (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire the Company’s ECR businesses for a purchase price of $3.3 billion consisting of (i) $2.6 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of the Buyer, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Buyer, is expected to close in the first half of calendar 2019.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (iii) the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods and the receipt of all applicable approvals required pursuant to or in connection with the competition laws of certain foreign jurisdictions in which the ECR business operates, (iv) the receipt of approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), (v) the completion of a certain number of agreed upon steps of the Reorganization (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and (vi) the transfer of certain owned real property of the ECR business.
As a result of the Transaction and all facts, management has concluded that the disposal group, which includes our entire ECR business, met the criteria to be held for sale beginning in the current fiscal quarter. Furthermore, we determined that the assets held for sale qualify for discontinued operations. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our unaudited consolidated statements of earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Furthermore, current and non-current assets and liabilities of the disposal group are reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for both periods presented.

CH2M Acquisition
On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M. For purposes of the Company’s third quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s new LOB business structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the time period during which CH2M has been under the ownership of the Company being allocated to the Company’s ATEN, BIAF and ECR lines of business.

Restructuring and Other Charges
CH2M Restructuring Plan
During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring and pre-integration plans associated with the then pending acquisition of CH2M, which closed on December 15, 2017.  The restructuring activities and related costs under these plans were comprised mainly of severance and lease abandonment programs, while the pre-integration activities and costs were mainly related to the engagement of consulting services and internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to the Company’s acquisition integration management efforts.
Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued into the first three quarters of 2018fiscal 2019 and include restructuring activities amounting to approximately $33.98.2 million and $94.6$5.5 million in pre-tax charges during the three months ended December 28, 2018 and nine month periods ended JuneDecember 29, 2018,2017, respectively. TheCombined with $26.0 million and $13.8 million in integration activities for the same periods, amounted to approximately $12.6the total cost of these restructuring and integration activities approximated $34.2 million and $40.6$19.3 million in pre-tax charges for the three and nine months ended JuneDecember 28, 2018 and December 29, 2018,2017, respectively. These activities are expected to continue through fiscal 2019 and2019. These activities are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets. The Company is targeting to achieve annual cost savings of $175.0 million upon the completion of these activities.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company entered into strategic business restructuring activities associated with realignment of its Europe, U.K. and Middle East regional operations in our BIAF segment. Pre-tax net charges of $22.6 million were recorded associated mainly with net realizable value write-offs on contract accounts receivable of $16.5 million, with additional charges recorded for statutory redundancy and severance costs of $1.4 million and other liabilities of $4.7 million which are both expected to be paid or settled within the next 12 months.2015 Restructuring Plan

Page 35

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

During the second fiscal quarter of 2015, the Company began implementing a series of initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better position itself to drive growth of the business in the future. We refer to these initiatives, in the aggregate, as the “2015 Restructuring”. These activities evolved and developed over time as management identified and evaluated opportunities for changes in the Company’s operations (and related areas of potential cost savings), as economic conditions changed and as the realignment of the Company’s operations into its then four global LOBs was implemented. Actions related to the 2015 Restructuring included involuntary terminations, the abandonment of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations, and the colocation of employees into other existing offices. These activities did not involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets. The 2015 Restructuring was completed in fiscal 2017, although related cash payments continue under the related accruals recorded in connection with these activities.
Collectively, the above-mentioned restructuring activities are referred to as “Restructuring and other charges.”

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States.States and significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax laws. Given the significance of the legislation, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” like that used when accounting for business combinations.
As of December 22, 2018, we have completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Act. For the deferred tax balances, we remeasured the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The Company’s revised remeasurement resulted in cumulative charges to income tax expense of $144.4 million for the measurement period. The Act reduces the top corporate U.S. federal statutorycalls for a one-time tax rate from 35% to 21% starting on January 1, 2018, resulting in a blended statutory tax rate for fiscal year filers. The Company’s blended federal statutory tax rate for fiscal 2018 is 24.6%. It also requires companies to pay adeemed repatriation of foreign earnings. This one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) of certain of our foreign subsidiaries, places limitations and exclusions on variedsubsidiaries. We have recorded $14.3 million in cumulative transition taxes during the measurement period, although the transition tax deductions and creates new taxes on certainis expected to be offset by foreign sourced earnings. The majority of the tax provisions are effective for the first tax year beginning after January 1, 2018, which will be the Company’s taxable year beginning fiscal 2019.
The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018 was 22.2% and 42.7%, respectively, a decrease from 30.4% and an increase from 29.2%, respectively, for the corresponding periods last year. The decreasecredits in the quarterly effectivefuture and resulting in no additional cash tax rate is primarily due toliability. In addition, the reduction in the U.S. statutory tax rate, a $3.6 million discrete benefit related to internal revenue service code section 179D, a nonrecurring benefit of $2.8 million related to tax accounting method changes and a $5.7 million federal hurricane credit. The year over year increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase of $60.1Company recorded $104.2 million in net discrete charges during the nine-month period. The increase in the discrete charges was primarily comprised of a valuation allowance charge of $52.5 million and a $14.0 million detriment from the provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax items in the U.S, offset by a $5.7 million benefit related to a federal hurricane credit.cumulative

valuation expense charges during the measurement period with respect to certain foreign tax credit deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act and CH2M integration.
The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations increased to 24.7% for first quarter fiscal 2019, up significantly in comparison to the effective tax rate of (405.8)% from continuing operations for the corresponding period last year. This increase was due primarily to nonrecurring tax items included in first quarter fiscal 2018 income taxes associated with valuation charges of $53.0 million on foreign tax credits and a partially offsetting $24.0 million benefit from the remeasurement of deferred taxes in accordance with changes in tax rates from the Act. See Note 7- Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business for further information on the Company's discontinued operations reporting for the sale of the ECR business.
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12twelve months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $7.2$12.6 million (being realized as a reduction in income tax expense) as a result of concluding various tax audits and closing tax years.

The year over year increasesincrease in operating profit for the three and nine month periods of 2018 compared to 2017 werewas in part due to favorable impacts from the CH2M acquisition, together with positive impacts from the higher year over year revenues for the segment. SG&A for the BIAF segment increased for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, respectively, with this increase being attributable mainly to incremental SG&A associated with the CH2M acquisition during the first three quarters of fiscal 2018.

Energy, Chemicals and Resources revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2018 were $1.23 billion, an increase of $311.3 million, or 34.0%, from $916.9 million for the corresponding period last year. Segment revenues for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 were $3.27 billion, an increase of $542.7 million, or 19.9%, from $2.73 billion for the corresponding period last year. The increases in revenues for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018 as compared to the prior year were due primarily to continued improvement in the construction operations and maintenance market as clients focus on capital efficiency and consolidating their customer portfolio, the continuing recovery of mining and minerals market with studies now beginning to progress into the investment phase, and the increasing trend among oil producers to drive downstream investments to refining and chemicals. Also, the CH2M acquisition added approximately $92.8 million to revenue during the quarter and approximately $196.3 million during the year to date period. Additionally, foreign currency impacts were favorable by approximately $20.7 million and $73.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods of 2018 versus the corresponding periods of 2017.
Operating profit for the segment for the three months ended June 29, 2018 was $62.0 million, an increase of $16.2 million or 35.3% from $45.8 million for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit for the segment for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 was $164.8 million, an increase of $44.7 million, or 37.2%, from $120.1 million for the corresponding period last year. The increases in profitability were due to higher revenue across the portfolio. SG&A for the ECR segment was up for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2018 versus the 2017 periods, due mainly to incremental operating general and administrative expense coming with the CH2M acquisition. Additionally, included in the June 30, 2017 period was a one-time $9.9 million benefit associated with benefit plan changes in our India operations.
Other Corporate Expenses
Other corporate expenses for the three months ended June 29,December 28, 2018 were $33.1$71.2 million, an increase of $4.1$22.0 million from $29.0$49.2 million for the corresponding period last year and $110.9 million, anyear. This increase of $55.3 million from $55.6 million for the nine-month period ended June 29, 2018. These increases werewas due primarily to higher professional service fees, personnel related costs, amortization of intangible assets acquired and $18.0 million of other current year cost allocation realignments in conjunction with the CH2M acquisition, settlement charges associated with the Sverdrup U.S. pension plan amounting to $3.8 million, higher depreciation associated with increased corporate technology investments and $15.0 million in other corporate adjustments associated with a certain project, partially offset by savings in other corporate expenses, including those associated with the CH2M Restructuring Plan and the 2015 Restructuring program.Plan.
Included in other corporate expenses in the above table are costs and expenses which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of our incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of purchased business combinations; (iv) the quarterly variances between the Company’s actual costs of certain of its self-insured integrated risk and employee benefit programs and amounts charged to the LOBs; and (v) certain adjustments relating to costs associated with the

Company’s international defined benefit pension plans. In addition, other corporate expenses may also include from time to time certain adjustments to contract margins (both positive and negative) associated with projects where it has been determined, in the opinion of management, that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.

Discontinued Operations
The results from our ECR business formerly reported as a stand-alone segment are reflected in our unaudited consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For further information, refer to Note 7- Discontinued Operations - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business.
For the three months ended December 28, 2018 and December 29, 2017, net earnings attributable to discontinued operations before income taxes were $59.4 million and $36.4 million, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the full quarter of incremental revenue in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 from the December 15, 2017 acquisition of CH2M.

Backlog Information
Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies.  Currently, we report a combined
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

backlog number based upon the legacy reporting methodologies used by Jacobs and the acquired business of CH2M prior to the acquisition while we work to harmonize these reporting methodologies as part of the Company's integration activities underway.  
We include in backlog the total dollar amount of revenues we expect to record in the future as a result of performing work under contracts that have been awarded to us. Our policy with respect to O&M contracts, however, is to include in backlog the amount of revenues we expect to receive for one succeeding year, regardless of the remaining life of the contract. For national government programs (other than national government O&M contracts, which are subject to the same policy applicable to all other O&M contracts), our policy is to include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded, excluding option periods. Because of variations in the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues can vary greatly between individual contracts.
Consistent with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client.client, including our U.S. government work. While management uses all information available to it to determine backlog, at any given time our backlog is subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as increases or decreases in costs relating to the contracts included therein. Backlog is not necessarily an indicator of future revenues.
Because certain contracts (e.g., contracts relating to large EPC projects as well as national government programs) can cause large increases to backlog in the fiscal period in which we recognize the award, and because many of our contracts require us to provide services that span over several fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we evaluate our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.
The following table summarizes our backlog at June 29,December 28, 2018 and June 30,December 29, 2017 (in millions):

The increase in backlog in Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities from June 30,December 29, 2017 was primarily the result of new awards in Australiathe UK, Middle East and the U.S. markets in Advanced Facilities and Transportation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 29,December 28, 2018, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $824.4$886.7 million in cash and cash equivalents $1,258.7and $923.9 million of available borrowing capacity under our $1.6 billion 2014 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”),.
The amount of cash and cash flowsequivalents at December 28, 2018 represented an increase of $114.5 million from operating activities.
On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (CH2M), an international provider of engineering, construction, and technical services, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash (excluding $315.2$772.2 million in cash acquired) and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes, including a $20.0 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700.0 million. Immediately following the effective time of the acquisition, the Company repaid CH2M’s revolving credit facility and second lien notes including the related prepayment penalty. The Company financed the cash consideration for the CH2M acquisition, the repayment of CH2M’s outstanding indebtedness and other transaction expenses with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing, which included borrowings under the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion and additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

This increase was due to cash flows provided by operations of $269.0 million and favorable cash flows from financing activities of $1.3 billion, partly$345.7 million, offset by $1.5 billion$224.7 million of cash flows used for operations and $22.6 million in cash flows used infor investing activities. On a comparative basis, cash and cash equivalents increased $102.6$288.8 million to $758.3 million$1.0 billion during the ninethree month-period ended June 30,December 29, 2017 from $655.7$774.2 million at September 30, 2016.29, 2017. This increase was driven mainly by cash flow from operations of $380.6$46.9 million partly offset byand cash flow used forprovided by financing activities of $185.7 million and$1.6 billion, offset by cash flows used for investing activities of $99.1 million.$1.4 billion, both of which were largely driven by the CH2M acquisition.
Our cash flow fromused for operations of $269.0$(224.7) million during the nine monththree-month period ended June 29,December 28, 2018 was comparatively lower than the $380.6$46.9 million in cash flow from operations for the corresponding prior year period, in fiscal 2017, due mainly to higher levels ofthe increases in working capital (mainly in accounts receivable), cash used for payments on from the opening balance sheet liabilities and post-acquisition costs incurred in connection with the CH2M acquisition and payments associated with obligations from Restructuring and other charges,previous period offset in part by higher net earnings adjusted for non-cash items year over year.compared to the prior period.
Our cash used infor investing activities for the ninethree months ended June 29,December 28, 2018 was $1.5$22.6 million, which was $1.37 billion drivenless than prior year's cash used for investing activities, the decrease of which primarily byrelated to cash used for the CH2M acquisition in the prior year, net of cash amounts acquired from the acquisition of $315.2 million. Additions to property and equipment were $10.1 million less in the currentcomparable period compared to the priorover period.
Our cash from financing activities of $1.3 billion$345.7 million for the ninethree months ended June 29,December 28, 2018 resulted mainly from net proceeds from borrowings of $5.4$527.3 million offset by common stock repurchases of $141.8 million. Cash from financing activities was $1.6 billion a portion of which was used in connection with financing of the CH2M acquisition. Repayments of long term debt of $4.0 billion during the first three quarters of fiscal 2018 were up compared to $1.2 billion in the first three quarters of fiscal 2017, with this increase due mainly to the payoff of CH2M’s legacy debt balances in connection with the closing of the acquisition. Duringfor the three months ended JuneDecember 29, 2018,2017, resulting mainly from proceeds on borrowings to fund the Company completed its private placement of fixed rate Senior Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase AgreementCH2M acquisition. Additionally, there were no common stock repurchases in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million, which resulted in an equal amount of proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility. Comparatively lower cash flows from proceeds from issuances of common stock during the nine-month period ended June 29, 2018 were offset by lower cash outflows for common stock repurchases.corresponding prior year period. The Company paid $65.2$28.6 million in dividends including to shareholders and noncontrolling interests of $4.4 million, during the nine-monththree-month period ended June 29,December 28, 2018, with $40.7$18.1 million in dividends paid in the comparative prior year period.
At June 29,December 28, 2018, the Company had approximately $288.9$292.8 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $535.5$593.9 million held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Chile, and India), which is used primarily for funding operations in those regions. Other than the tax cost of repatriating funds to the U.S. (see Note 10,13- Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172018 Form 10-K), there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.
The Company had $449.2$472.1 million in letters of credit outstanding at June 29,December 28, 2018. Of this amount, $2.5 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $446.7$469.6 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
On October 21, 2018, Jacobs and Buyer entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire the Company’s ECR business for a purchase price of $3.3 billion consisting of (i) $2.6 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of the Buyer, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items. The Transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Buyer, is expected to close in the first half of calendar 2019.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations, support our debt service, pay dividends and buy back shares and support our ongoing acquisition strategy for the next twelve months based on the liquidity provided by our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility and our continuing cash from operations. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at June 29,December 28, 2018.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading, speculation or other purposes that would expose the Company to market risk. In the normal course of business, our results of operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk
Please see the Note 1112- Long-term Debt in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Note Purchase Agreement.
Our Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility, and certain other debt obligations are subject to variable rate interest which could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of June 29,December 28, 2018, we had an aggregate of $1.8$2.2 billion in
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and our Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreements is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.0% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. Additionally, if our consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points.
For the ninethree months ended June 29,December 28, 2018, our weighted average floating rate borrowings were approximately $2.1$1.99 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the ninethree months ended June 29,December 28, 2018 would have increased by approximately $15.4$5.0 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
In situations where our operations incur contract costs in currencies other than their functional currency, we attempt to have a portion of the related contract revenues denominated in the same currencies as the costs. In those situations, where revenues and costs are transacted in different currencies, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. We follow the provisions of ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging in accounting for our derivative contracts. The Company does not currently have exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’sDisclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In Part II - Item 9A - Controls and Procedures of our 2018 Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures relating to our accounting for income taxes in connection with a business combination, specifically related to the ineffective design and operating effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of deferred taxes and the evaluation of the recoverability of deferred taxes associated with the CH2M acquisition.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 29,December 28, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed byas a result of the material weakness identified above. The Company inhas made significant progress toward remediating the reports that it files or submits undermaterial weakness which is described below.
In light of the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated tomaterial weakness identified above, the Company’s management, includingwith the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect our financial position and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended December 28, 2018. As a result, notwithstanding the material weakness identified above, our management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
The Company's management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s Chairmaninternal control processes and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)will continue to diligently review the Company’s financial reporting controls and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
ThereOn September 29, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In connection with the adoption, we implemented certain changes to our processes, systems and controls related to revenue recognition. These changes included the development of new policies and practices based on the five-step model outlined in ASC Topic 606, new contract review requirements and new processes and controls related to the additional disclosure requirements. Other than the changes resulting from the remediation activities described above, there were no other changes in the Company’s system ofto our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 29,December 28, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, itsour internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Please refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 20172018 Form 10-K, and our subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of 2018, which areis incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of some of the factors that have affected our business, financial condition, and results of operations in the past and which could affect us in the future. There have been no material changes to those risk factors.factors, except for the information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that provides factual updates to those risk factors and the inclusion of the additional risk factor set forth below. Before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock, you should carefully consider those risk factors, as well as the financial and business disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other current and periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Additional and/or extended government shutdowns may negatively impact our business.

The United States continues to face an uncertain political environment and substantial fiscal and economic challenges, which could affect future funding for the U.S. federal government’s discretionary and non-discretionary budgets. For 35 days ending on January 25, 2019, the U.S. government was partially shut down due to a lapse in appropriations from Congress. On January 25, 2019, a three-week continuing resolution was passed, which reopened the government through February 15, 2019, and after which the government may shut down again. Additional and/or extended U.S. government shutdowns or any related under-staffing of the government departments or agencies that interact with our business could result in program cancellations, disruptions and/or stop work orders, could limit the government’s ability to effectively progress programs and make timely payments, and could limit our ability to perform on our existing U.S. government contracts and successfully compete for new work.  Additional and/or extended government shutdowns for any significant duration could additionally impact discretionary income among our customers or potential customers and financial markets in the U.S.  Any lack of governmental support or staffing, decreases in discretionary income, financial market turbulence or other yet unknown impacts related to the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  The U.S. federal budget is expected to continue to be the subject of considerable debate, which could have significant impacts on the U.S. government’s spending broadly, and its spending with respect to the Company and the industries in which we operate.
