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 December 29, 2017,31, 2021, and for the three-month periodthree month periods ended December 29, 2017.

31, 2021 and January 1, 2021.

Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Please refer

On November 19, 2021, a subsidiary of Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $234.9 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In addition, the transaction involved the potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin thresholds being achieved in calendar year 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date is $1.3 million. The future contingent consideration will be paid, if and to the extent achieved, in second quarter of fiscal 2023. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.The Company has recorded its preliminary purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 17 Definitions16- Other Business Combinations.
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of Notesa 65% interest in PA Consulting, a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm. The total consideration paid by the Company was $1.7 billion, funded through cash on hand, proceeds from a new term loan and draws on the Company's existing revolving credit facility. Further, in connection with the transaction, an additional $261 million in investment proceeds had not yet been distributed at the investment date due to Consolidated Financial Statements includedcontinuing employment requirements of associated management owners. Consequently, this amount represented compensation expense incurred related to the investment that was expensed subsequent to the date of the transaction, and was reflected in selling, general and administrative expense and cash from operations for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees, whose redeemable noncontrolling interests had a fair value of $582.4 million on the closing date, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment. See Note 15- PA Consulting Business Combination for more discussion on the investment and Note 12- Borrowings for more discussion on the financing for the transaction.
On November 24, 2020, a subsidiary of Jacobs completed the acquisition of Buffalo Group, a leader in advanced cyber and intelligence solutions which allows Jacobs to further expand its cyber and intelligence solutions offerings to government clients. The Company paid total consideration of $190.1 million, which was comprised of approximately $182.4 million in cash to the former owners of Buffalo Group and contingent consideration of $7.7 million. The contingent consideration was subsequently recognized as an offset to selling, general and administrative expense when it was determined no amounts would be paid. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assumed the Buffalo Group's debt of approximately $7.7 million. The Company repaid all of the assumed Buffalo Group debt by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2021. The Company has recorded its final purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 16- Other Business Combinations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
On April 26, 2019, Jacobs completed the sale of its Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") business to Worley Limited, a company incorporated in Australia ("Worley"), for a purchase price of $3.4 billion consisting of (i) $2.8 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of Worley, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “ECR sale”). As a result of the ECR sale, substantially all ECR-related assets and liabilities were sold (the "Disposal Group"). We determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations because their disposal represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our 2017 Form 10-Kunaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As of October 1, 2021, all of the definitionsECR business to be sold under the terms of certain terms used herein.

the ECR sale had been conveyed to Worley and as such, no amounts remain held for sale. For further discussion, see Note 17-
Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business to the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

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 including considerations for potential impacts of the continuing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 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 2 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172021 Form 10-K for a discussion of theother significant estimates and assumptions affecting our consolidated financial statements.

3.

Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements

3.    Fair Value and Fair Value Measurements
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented at “fairfair 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.

Page 7


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Please refer to Note 2 2- Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20172021 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.

Please also refer to Note 19- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables and notes payableshort-term debt approximate Fair Valuefair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Similarly, we believe the carrying value of long-term debt also approximates Fair Value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings.

New Accounting Pronouncements

         Revenue Recognition

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 the due date and in the manner prescribed by the FASB.

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, provideSee Note 12- Borrowings for a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability, provide more useful information and simplify the preparation of financial statements.  ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard.  The revised effective date for the standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein.  The FASB also approved changes allowing for early adoption of the standard as of the original effective date.  

The Company’s adoption activities will be performed over three phases: (i) assessment, (ii) design, and (iii) implementation. Our assessment phase is complete. We have established a cross-functional team to implement ASU 2014-09.  We have identified and are in the process of implementing changes to our systems, processes and internal controls to meet the standard’s updated reporting and disclosure requirements.  The following are the potential significant differences identified during the assessment phase:

Performance Obligations

Under current U.S. GAAP, the Company typically considers engineering and construction services as separate performance obligations. Under ASU 2014-09, the Company has determined, in most instances, it is likely that engineering and construction services will be required to be combined into a single performance obligation. In these instances, this will likely change the timing and pattern of revenue recognition.

Contract Modifications

In many instances, the Company enters into contracts for construction services subsequent to entering in to engineering services contracts (“Phased Projects”). Under ASU 2014-09, the construction services contract may be deemed to modify the engineering contract, or may be required to be combined with the engineering contract. 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 significant number of these arrangements would be combined under ASU 2014-09.

The Company currently intends to 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 and will depend on the magnitude of the items discussed above. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact through the design and implementation phases.

         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 guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.  The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated

Page 8


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.

Hedge Accounting

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU  No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.  ASU No. 2017-12 makes targeted improvements to the current guidance on accounting for hedges so that it provides a better view of an entity’s risk management activities and how the entity’s hedging strategies are being used to manage risk. In addition, ASU No. 2017-12 further simplifies the application of certain aspects of hedge accounting, including the measurement of hedge effectiveness.  The revised guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  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.

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 is 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 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 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 following summarizes the estimated fair values of CH2M assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

Customer relationships, contracts and backlog represent the fair value of existing contracts, the underlying customer relationships and backlog of consolidated subsidiaries and have lives ranging from 5 to 13 years (weighted average life of approximately 8 years). The fair value of the acquired trade name has an estimated life of three years. Other intangible assets and liabilities primarily consistdiscussion of the fair value of office leases and have a weighted average life of approximately 12 years.

Estimated fairlong-term debt.

Fair value measurements relating to the CH2M acquisitionour business combinations are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow and to the extent applicable, Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily fromfor the income approach which include the use of bothusing the multiple period excess earnings method and the relief from royalties method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i)

Page 11

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
revenue projections of the estimated life the asset will contribute to cash flows, such as attrition rate of customers or remaining contractual terms,business, (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. Personal property assets with an active and identifiable secondary market are valued using the market approach. 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 The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and the significant assumptions used include projections of revenues and probabilities of meeting those projections. Key inputs to the valuation of the noncontrolling interests include projected cash flows and the expected volatility associated with those cash flows.

4.    New Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting is intended to provide relief for entities impacted by reference rate reform and contains provisions and optional expedients designed to simplify requirements around designation of hedging relationships, probability assessments of hedged forecasted transactions and accounting for modifications of contracts that refer to LIBOR or other rates affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is elective and is effective on the date of issuance. ASU 2020-04 is applied prospectively to contract modifications and as of the effective date for existing and new eligible hedging relationships. The guidance is temporary and will generally not be applicable to contract modifications which occur after December 31, 2022. The adoption of the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 allowed the Company to continue its British pound denominated interest rate hedge relationships which previously defined LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate and in December 2021 were amended to replace LIBOR with the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate ("SONIA").
ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities were comprisedat the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of pensionsfiscal 2022 and the adoption had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5.    Revenue Accounting for Contracts
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. We provide a broad range of engineering, design, and architectural services; construction and construction management services; operations and maintenance services; and technical, digital, process, scientific and systems consulting process, scientific, and systems consulting services. We provide our services through offices and subsidiaries located primarily in North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia, Africa, and Asia. We provide our services under cost-reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. Our contracts are with many different customers in numerous industries. Refer to Note 20- Segment Information for additional information on how we disaggregate our revenues by reportable segment.

Page 12

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The following table further disaggregates our revenue by geographic area for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 (in thousands):

     Middle East and Africa68,794 50,492 
Total$3,380,625 $3,381,836 
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. Revenue recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 that was included in the contract liability balance on October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 was $291.5 million and $259.0 million respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligation
The Company’s remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2021 represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company had approximately $13.2 billion in remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2021. The Company expects to recognize approximately 57% of our remaining performance obligations into revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining 43% thereafter.
Although remaining performance obligations reflect business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, scope adjustments, foreign currency exchange fluctuations or deferrals may occur that impact their volume or the 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.
6.     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 and the preferred redeemable noncontrolling interests redemption value adjustment associated with the PA Consulting transaction.
The following table reconciles the denominator used to compute basic EPS to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has $782.9 million remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Authorization.
Our share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, accelerated share repurchases, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise. The authorization for the share repurchase programs may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing, amount and manner of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions and economic circumstances, availability of investment opportunities, the availability and costs of financing, currency fluctuations, the market price of the Company's common stock, other uses of capital and other factors.
Dividends
On January 26, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share of the Company’s common stock to be paid on March 25, 2022, to shareholders of record on the close of business on February 25, 2022. Future dividend declarations are subject to review and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Other information about receivables:
Amounts due from the United States federal government, included above, net of contract liabilities$629,365 $563,009 
Amounts billed, net consist of amounts invoiced to clients in accordance with the terms of our client contracts and are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We anticipate that substantially all of such billed amounts will be collected over the next twelve months.
Unbilled receivables and other, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to amounts billed when they are billed under the terms of the contract. We anticipate that substantially all of such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts where the right to payment is subject to more than merely the passage of time and includes performance-based incentives and services provided ahead of agreed contractual milestones. Contract assets are transferred to unbilled receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are transferred to amounts billed upon invoicing. The increase in contract assets was a result of normal business activity and not materially impacted by any other factors.

10.    Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 were 9.4% and 24.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was lower than the corresponding rate in the prior period primarily due to a current year tax benefit of $15.7 million related to the release of previously reserved foreign tax credits, $4.2 million excess tax benefit attributable to stock compensation, and $4.0 million benefit from filing amended status returns.
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.

11.    Joint Ventures, VIEs and Other Investments
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.
The assets of a joint venture are restricted for use to the obligations of the particular joint venture and are not available for general operations of the Company. Our risk of loss on these arrangements is usually shared with our partners. The liability of each partner is usually joint and several, which means that each partner may become liable for the entire risk of loss on the project. Furthermore, on some of our projects, the Company has granted guarantees that may encumber both our contracting subsidiary company and the Company for the entire risk of loss on the project. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts. Refer to Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion relating to performance guarantees.
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 results 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 $266.8 million and $208.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and $289.8 million and $220.8 million, respectively, as of October 1, 2021. There are no consolidated VIEs that have debt or credit facilities.
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting, a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary under U.S. GAAP accounting rules. See Note 15- PA Consulting Business Combination for more discussion on the acquisition.
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 that 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.

Page 18

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
For the proportionate consolidated VIEs, the carrying value of assets and liabilities was $114.2 million and $127.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, and $115.1 million and $129.5 million, respectively, as of October 1, 2021. For those joint ventures accounted for under 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 the Company's investment created when the Company purchased its share of the joint venture. These basis differences are amortized based on an internal allocation to underlying net assets, excluding allocations to goodwill. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s equity method investments exceeded its share of venture net assets by $36.6 million. Our investments in equity method joint ventures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021 were $106.7 million and $121.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, we recognized income from equity method joint ventures of $6.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively.
Accounts receivable from unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method is $16.1 million and $19.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021, respectively.
The Company held a 24.5% interest in AWE Management Ltd ("AWE ML") that was accounted for under the equity method. AWE ML was previously under a contractual operating arrangement with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) with multiple years remaining under the arrangement, and during fiscal 2021, the MoD unexpectedly announced plans to change its operating agreements with AWE ML that resulted in the early termination of the current contract in 2021. During the three months ended January 1, 2021, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge on its investment in AWE ML in the amount of $27.9 million, which was included in miscellaneous income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of earnings as a result of the contract termination.
The Company held a cost method investment in C3.ai, Inc. ("C3") and in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, C3 completed an initial public offering and as a result the Company carried its investment in C3 at fair value, with changes reflected in net income as it is an investment in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value based on quoted market prices. During fiscal 2021 and subsequent to the IPO, the Company sold all shares owned in C3. Dividend income, unrealized gains and losses on changes in fair value and related realized gains and losses on disposal of the C3 shares were recognized in miscellaneous income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of earnings, which was $82.6 million, net, for the three months ended January 1, 2021.

(5)The 2020 Term Loan requires quarterly principal repayments of 1.25%, or $9.125 million and £3.125 million, of the aggregate initial principal amount borrowed.
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 “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which amended and restated the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility by, among other things, (a) extending the maturity date of the credit facility to March 27, 2024, (b) increasing the facility amount to $2.25 billion (with an accordion feature that allows a further increase of the facility amount up to $3.25 billion), (c) eliminating the covenants restricting investments, joint ventures and acquisitions by the Company and its subsidiaries and (d) adjusting the financial covenants to eliminate the net worth covenant upon the removal of the same covenant from the Company’s existing Note Purchase Agreement (defined below). We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2021.

Page 20

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Revolving Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow under 2 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 $400.0 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. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.08% and 0.23% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan facility (the “2020 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2020 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $730.0 million and one of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries borrowed an aggregate principal amount of £250.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used to repay an existing term loan with a maturity date of June 2020 and for general corporate purposes. The 2020 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility. During fiscal 2020, the Company entered into interest rate and cross currency derivative contracts to swap a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. See Note 19- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments.
On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2021 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million and £650.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used primarily to fund the Company's investment in PA Consulting. The 2021 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2020 Term Loan Facility.
The 2020 Term Loan Facility and the 2021 Term Loan Facility are together referred to as the "Term Loan Facilities". We were in compliance with the covenants under the Term Loan Facilities at December 31, 2021.
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 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 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 December 31, 2021.
We believe the carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facilities 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 $547.5 million at December 31, 2021, 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 $1.7 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.67 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company had issued $272.0 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $273.7 million at December 31, 2021.
13.    Leases
The Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities relate to real estate, project assets used in connection with long-term construction contracts, IT assets and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to thirteen years. The Company’s lease obligations are primarily for the use of office space and are primarily operating leases. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal, extension, or termination options. The Company assesses each option on an individual basis and will only include options reasonably certain of exercise in the lease term. The Company generally

Page 21

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
considers the base term to be the term provided in the contract. None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material options to purchase the lease property, material residual value guarantees, or material restrictions or covenants
Long-term project asset and vehicle leases (leases with terms greater than twelve months), along with all real estate and IT asset leases, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid, net of impairments taken. Because the Company primarily acts as a lessee and the rates implicit in its leases are not readily determinable, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement date to calculate the present value of future lease payments. Certain leases include payments that are based solely on an index or rate. These variable lease payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability and are initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Other variable lease payments, such as payments based on use and for property taxes, insurance, or common area maintenance that are based on actual assessments are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability and are expensed as incurred. In addition to the present value of the future lease payments, the calculation of the ROU asset also includes any deferred rent, lease pre-payments and initial direct costs of obtaining the lease, such as commissions.
Certain lease contracts contain nonlease components such as maintenance and utilities. The Company has made an accounting policy election, as allowed under ASC 842-10-15-37 and discussed above, to capitalize both the lease component and nonlease components of its contracts as a single lease component for all of its right-of-use assets.
Short-term project asset and vehicle leases (project asset and vehicle leases with an initial term of twelve months or less or leases that are cancellable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used on construction projects. These leases are entered into at agreed upon hourly, daily, weekly or monthly rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision. Such equipment leases are considered short-term in nature unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for a term greater than twelve months.

Right-of-Use and Other Long-Lived Asset Impairment

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, as a result of the Company's transformation initiatives including the changing nature of the Company's use of office space for its workforce, the Company evaluated its existing real estate lease portfolio. These initiatives during the current quarter resulted in the abandonment of certain leased office spaces and the establishment of a formal plan to sublease certain other leased spaces that will no longer be utilized by the Company. In connection with the Company’s actions related to these initiatives, the Company evaluated certain of its lease right-of-use assets and related property, equipment and leasehold improvements for impairment under ASC 360.


Page 23

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
As a result of the analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $72.3 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of earnings for the current fiscal quarter. The impairment loss recorded includes $54.9 million related to right-of-use lease assets and $17.4 million related to other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and improvements and leasehold improvements.

The fair values for the asset groups relating to the impaired long-lived assets were estimated primarily using discounted cash flow models (income approach) with Level 3 inputs. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include the expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, projected sublease income over the remaining lease periods and discount rates that reflect the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows.

15.    PA Consulting Business Combination
Deal Summary, Opening Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Financial Information
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting, a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm. The total consideration paid by the Company was $1.7 billion, funded through cash on hand, proceeds from a new term loan and draws on the Company's existing revolving credit facility. Further, in connection with the transaction, an estimated additional $261 million in investment proceeds had not yet been distributed at the investment date due to continuing employment requirements of associated management owners. Consequently, this amount represented compensation expense incurred related to the investment that was expensed subsequent to the date of the transaction, and was reflected in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated income statement for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees, whose redeemable noncontrolling interests had a fair value of $582.4 million on the closing date, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment. See Note 12- Borrowings for more discussion on the financing for the transaction.
The following summarizes the fair values of PA Consulting's assets acquired and liabilities totaling approximately $291.0 million.

Other long term liabilities248.2 
Total Liabilities$603.9
Redeemable Noncontrolling interests582.4 
Net assets acquired$1,701.9 

The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional information is obtained. Goodwill recognized largelyresults from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future economic benefits. 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 PA Consulting's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation could result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill. 

Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company has updated certain provisional amounts reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation, as summarized in the estimated fair values of PA Consulting assets acquired and liabilities assumed above. See below for further discussion on updates to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Identifiable intangibles are customer relationships, contracts and backlog and trade name and have estimated lives ranging from 9 to 20 years (weighted average life of approximately 12 years).

During the preparation of the Form 10-Qother income (expense) 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.  three months ended January 1, 2021. See Note 20- Segment Information.

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 incomeactivity in the Company’s September 30, 2016 consolidated balance sheet (which have not been adjusted) were each overstated by $209.9 millionaccruals for restructuring 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 reportedother charges for the three months ended December 30, 2016.  These adjustments had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Cash Flows.

Segment Information

19.     Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk under its variable rate borrowings and additionally, due to the nature of the Company's international operations, we are at times exposed to foreign currency risk. As such, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange hedging contracts and interest rate hedging contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies and interest rates.
The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements and a cross-currency swap agreement with notional values of $795.7 million and $127.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 to manage the interest rate exposure on our variable rate loans and the foreign currency exposure on our USD borrowings by a European subsidiary. By entering into the swap agreements, the Company converted the LIBOR and SONIA rate based liabilities into fixed rate liabilities and, for the cross currency swap, our LIBOR rate based borrowing in USD to a fixed rate Euro liability, for periods ranging from three and a half to ten years. For U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swap agreements, the Company receives the one month LIBOR rate and pays monthly a fixed rate ranging from 0.704% to 1.116%. For interest rate swaps denominated in British pounds, the Company receives a one month adjusted SONIA rate and pays a monthly fixed rate of 0.820%. Under the cross currency swap agreement, the Company receives the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.875% in USD and pays monthly a Euro fixed rate of 0.726% to 0.746% for the term of the swaps. The swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 4- New Accounting Pronouncements for additional discussion related to the application of SONIA to existing hedge contracts. The fair value of the interest rate and cross currency swaps at December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021 was $11.2 million and $(0.8) million, respectively, of which $(7.4) million is included in other deferred liabilities and $18.6 million is included in miscellaneous other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021. As of October 1, 2021, $(11.0) million is included in other deferred liabilities and $10.2 million is included in miscellaneous other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized net gain (loss) on these interest rate and cross currency swaps was $13.3 million and $7.4 million, net of tax, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021, respectively.
Additionally, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts in currencies that support our operations, including British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and other currencies, with notional values of $503.5 million at December 31, 2021 and $506.5 million at October 1, 2021. The length of these contracts currently ranges from one to 12 months. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021 was $53.8 million and $55.5 million, respectively, which is included in current assets within receivables and contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets and with associated income statement impacts included in miscellaneous income (expense) in the consolidated statements of earnings.

The fair value measurements of these derivatives are being made using Level 2 inputs under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the measurements are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange and interest rate contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.
Contractual Guarantees and Insurance
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. 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" and 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. We record in the Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such guarantees, litigation and insurance claims. Guarantees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 460-10, Guarantees, at fair value at the inception of the guarantee.
At December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2021, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately $273.7 million and $263.8 million, respectively, in LOCs and$2.3 billion and $2.1 billion, 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 is asserted by or against the Company. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses and liabilities that occur through using 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 United States, as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.
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, beyond amounts currently accrued.
Litigation and Investigations
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 ("JKC") 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 and is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of approximately $530.0 million for repudiatory breach or, in the alternative, seeking damages for unresolved contract claims and change orders. JKC is seeking damages in excess of $1.7 billion and has drawn on the bonds. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a November 2020 date for commencement of the hearing was vacated and the hearing was rescheduled for opening arguments in April 2021 and the remaining proceedings in July and August 2021. The opening arguments did occur as scheduled, but in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the remaining proceedings were rescheduled to now occur in April and May 2022. It is anticipated that closing arguments will be made in July 2022. Although an earlier decision is possible, no decision is expected before the end of 2022 or 2023. 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 on that matter was held in March 2019, and a decision in favor of the Consortium was issued. JKC appealed the decision, a hearing on the appeal took place in March 2020 and a decision was handed down in July 2020 denying JKC’s appeal in its entirety. The Consortium has denied liability and is vigorously defending JKC's claims and pursuing its affirmative claims against JKC. 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, in excess of the current reserve for this matter. See Note 15- Other Business Combinations in the Company's fiscal 2021 Form 10-K for further information related to CH2M contingencies.

On December 22, 2008, a coal fly ash pond at the Kingston Power Plant of the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") was breached, releasing fly ash waste into the Emory River and surrounding community. In February 2009, TVA awarded a contract to the Company to provide project management services associated with the clean-up. All remediation and dredging were completed in August 2013 by other contractors under direct contracts with TVA. The Company did not perform the remediation, and its scope was limited to program management services. Certain employees of the contractors performing the cleanup work on the project filed lawsuits against the Company beginning in August 2013, alleging they were injured due to the Company's failure to protect the plaintiffs from exposure to fly ash, and asserting related personal injuries. The primary case, Greg Adkisson, et al. v. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., case No. 3:13-CV-505-TAV-HBG, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, consists of 10 consolidated cases. This case and the related cases involve several hundred plaintiffs that were employees of the contractors that completed the remediation and dredging work. The cases are organized around fourat various stages of litigation, and several of the cases are currently stayed pending resolution of other cases. Additionally, in May 2019, Roane County and the cities of Kingston and Harriman filed a lawsuit against TVA and the Company alleging that they misled the public about risks associated with the released fly ash. In October 2020, the Court granted Jacobs and TVA’s motion to dismiss the Roane County litigation and closed the case. In addition, in November 2019, a resident of Roane County, Margie Delozier, filed a putative class action against TVA and the Company alleging they failed to adequately warn local residents about risks associated with the released fly ash. The Company and TVA filed separate motions to dismiss the Delozier case in April 2020. In February 2021, the Court granted dismissal of the Delozier Complaint with prejudice, with the exception of plaintiffs’ nuisance cause of action, which plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed in July 2021. Finally, in August 2021, a resident of Roane County filed an action against Jacobs and TVA claiming personal injury and property damage. Separately, in February 2020, the Company learned that the district attorney in Roane County recommended that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation investigate issues pertaining to clean up worker safety at Kingston. On November 15, 2021, the Roane County district attorney announced that it had concluded its investigation into issues pertaining to the Kingston coal ash spill cleanup. No indictments were issued. There has been no finding of liability against the Company or that any of the alleged illnesses are the result of exposure to fly ash in any of the above matters. The Company disputes the allegations asserted in all of the above matters and is vigorously defending these matters. The Company does not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On October 31, 2019, the Company received a request from the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") for the production of certain information and documents. The information and documents sought by the SEC primarily relate to the operations of a joint venture in Morocco which was at one time partially-owned by the Company (and subsequently divested), including in respect of possible corrupt practices. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC and is continuing to produce information and documents in its possession in response to subsequent requests by the SEC. 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.
20.     Segment Information
The Company's 3 operating segments are comprised of its two global lines of business (“LOBs”("LOBs"), which also serve as: Critical Mission Solutions ("CMS") and People & Places Solutions ("P&PS") and its majority investment in PA Consulting. For further information on the Company’s operating segments: Aerospace & Technology, Buildings & Infrastructure, Industrial and Petroleum & Chemicals. PA Consulting investment, refer to Note 15 - PA ConsultingBusiness Combination.
The Company’s LOB leadershipChair 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 comprisingeach 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 currentthis organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. In addition, the sales function which had been managed centrally for many years, is managed on anby LOB basis,and PA Consulting, and accordingly, the associated cost is embedded in the new segments and reported to the respective LOB presidents.head of each segment. 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 Leadership Performance Plan ("LPP"), formerly named 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 corporate’s results of operations)other corporate expenses).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Financial information for each LOBsegment 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.

The CODM evaluates the operating performance of our LOBsoperating segments 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 first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing 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 (December 15, 2017 - December 29, 2017) being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of business under a transitional business organization structure.  Additionally, the preliminary purchase accounting for the acquisition, including opening balance sheet fair value determinations as well as final segment categorizations are still in process.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to provide a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition from the most recent fiscal year-end to December 31, 2021 and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year. 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 2021 Form 10-K, and the most current discussion of our significant accounting policies appears in Note 2- Significant Accounting Polices in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2021 Form 10-K;
The Company’s fiscal 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K; and
Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2021 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. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make concerning the potential continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our expectations as to our future growth, prospects, financial outlook and business strategy for fiscal 2022 or future fiscal years and the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and the strategic investment in PA Consulting. You should not be attributedplace 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 you should not place undue reliance on such statements as actual results may differ materially. We caution the reader that there are a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is contained, projected or implied by our forward-looking statements. Such factors include the magnitude, timing, duration and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence and spread of variants of COVID-19, and any resulting economic downturn on our results, prospects and opportunities, measures or restrictions imposed by governments and health officials in response to the LOB.

pandemic, or if such orders, measures or restrictions are re-imposed after being lifted or eased, including as a result of increases in cases of COVID-19; the effectiveness and distribution of vaccines or treatments for COVID-19; the timing and scope of any government stimulus programs enacted in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, any additional infrastructure-related stimulus programs, and the timing of the award of projects and funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. The impact of such matters includes, but is not limited to, the possible reduction in demand for certain of our services and the delay or abandonment of ongoing or anticipated projects due to the financial condition of our clients and suppliers or to governmental budget constraints or changes to governmental budgetary priorities; the inability of our clients to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner or at all; potential issues and risks related to a significant portion of our employees working remotely; illness, travel restrictions and other workforce disruptions that could negatively affect our supply chain and our ability to timely and satisfactorily complete our clients’ projects; difficulties associated with hiring additional employees; and the inability of governments in certain of the countries in which we operate to effectively mitigate the financial or other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their economies and workforces and our operations therein. The foregoing factors and potential future developments are inherently uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our control. For a description of these and additional factors that may occur that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, see those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 2021 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 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 ("the SEC").

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic and recommended certain containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020,

Page 36


the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and the vast majority of states and many municipalities have declared public health emergencies or taken similar actions. Along with these declarations, there were extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat outbreaks of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and around the world. These actions included quarantines and “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” orders, social distancing measures, travel restrictions, school closures and similar mandates for many individuals in order to substantially restrict daily activities and orders for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations unless their work is critical, essential or life-sustaining. Although most jurisdictions in which we operate have lifted or eased such restrictions to various degrees, some jurisdictions have subsequently reimposed restrictions to varying degrees in response to increased cases caused by variants of COVID-19. In addition, governments and central banks in the United States and other countries in which we operate have periodically enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus and assistance measures to counteract the economic impacts of COVID-19.
As it became clear that the pandemic was unparalleled in the rate of community spread, we took early, decisive action to put people first, help flatten the curve and take care of our clients and communities. We successfully transitioned the vast majority of our employees to a remote working environment to support physical distancing. Where the essential and mission-critical nature of our work requires us to maintain staff at certain sites or locations, we worked closely with our clients and established project-specific plans designed to ensure the safety of our people and the integrity of our operations. Using technology and optimizing our networks, we continue to offer flexible work scenarios for our people, and to deliver business continuity for and continued collaboration with our clients.
Notwithstanding our continued critical operations, COVID-19 negatively impacted our business, and may have further adverse impacts, on our operations, including those listed and discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our 2021 Form 10-K. Accordingly, at the height of the pandemic, we temporarily reduced spending broadly across the Company, only proceeding with operating and capital spending that was critical. We had also temporarily ceased all non-essential hiring and reduced discretionary expenses, including temporarily suspending certain employee benefits and compensation through the end of fiscal 2020. Subsequently, we have adjusted our response according to the circumstances and local laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the emergence and spread of variants, such as the omicron variant. Looking ahead, we have developed contingency plans if the situation further deteriorates or lasts longer than current expectations. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be necessary or appropriate for the health and safety of employees, contractors, customers, suppliers or others or as required by international, federal, state or local authorities.
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt in our operating results as compared to business levels pre-pandemic, although not significantly impacting the current fiscal quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. Further, for future periods, significant uncertainty continues to exist concerning the magnitude, duration and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including with regard to the effects on our customers, customer demand for our services and disruptions to supply chains and labor forces. Accordingly, actual results for future fiscal periods could differ materially versus current expectations and current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.
For a discussion of risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, including the potential impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operations, see Item 1A - Risk Factors contained in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Restructuring and Other Charges

During the fourthcorresponding period last year. The first fiscal quarter of 2017,2022 was impacted by $75.0 million in pre-tax Restructuring and other charges and transaction costs associated mainly with the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities)Company's transformation initiatives relating to real estate which is discussed in Note 18- Restructuring and Other Charges. This decrease was partially offset by the current quarter operating results benefiting from our BlackLynx, Inc. ("BlackLynx"), PA Consulting and Buffalo Group investing activities. The comparable period ended January 1, 2021 benefited from $93.1 million in pre-tax unrealized appreciation gains recorded in miscellaneous income (expense), net, associated with our investment in Worley stock and certain foreign currency revaluations relating to the Company’s announced definitive agreement to acquire CH2M.  

FollowingECR sale and pre-tax unrealized appreciation gains associated with our investment in C3.ai, Inc. ("C3") of $82.6 million, which were both sold during the closingfiscal year ended 2021. These were partially offset by $27.9 million in fiscal 2021 pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges in respect of our AWE investment.

For discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 17 - Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business.
On November 19, 2021, a subsidiary of Jacobs acquired BlackLynx. For further discussion, see Note 16- Other Business Combinations.
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the CH2Mstrategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting. For further discussion, see Note 15 - PA ConsultingBusiness Combination.
On November 24, 2020, a subsidiary of Jacobs completed the acquisition these activities have continued intoof Buffalo Group. For further discussion, see Note 16- Other Business Combinations.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 20182022 were $3.38 billion, in line with our revenues reported in the corresponding period last year. The slight decrease in revenues for the year over year period was in part due to certain contract wind downs in the U.S. and include associated charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices amounting to approximately $19.3 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter ended December 29, 2017.  These activities are expected to continue through 2019.  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, U.K. and Middle East regional operationsvolume decreases in our B&I segment.  Pre-tax net chargesP&PS America's business due to softer U.S. market conditions as well as lower pass-through revenues in advanced facilities. In addition, revenue decreases from the prior year resulted from prior year favorable foreign currency translation in our international businesses of $22.6 million were recorded associated mainly with net realizable value write-offs on contract accounts receivable of $16.5$24.1 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.  Additional charges of $1.2 million were recorded under this business exit during third quarter fiscal 2017 associated mainly with contract accounts receivable charges.  

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 businessno significant impact in the future.  We refercurrent period. This is partly offset due to these initiatives, infiscal 2022 incremental revenues from 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 four global LOBs was implemented.  Actions related to the 2015 Restructuring included involuntary terminations, the abandonment of certain leased offices, combining operational organizations,PA Consulting investment 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 completedBlackLynx and Buffalo Group acquisitions. Pass-through costs included in fiscal 2017 although related cash payments continue to be made under the related obligations recorded in connection with these activities.

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

The following table summarizes the impacts of the Restructuring and other charges on the Company’s reportable segment income by line of business in connection with the CH2M acquisitionrevenues for the three months ended December 29, 201731, 2021 amounted to $472.4 million, a decrease of $176.3 million, or 27.2%, from $648.7 million from the corresponding period last year, which was primarily attributable to our advanced facilities business.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2022 was $796.5 million, an increase of $164.4 million, or 26.0%, from $632.1 million from the corresponding period last year. Our gross profit margins were 23.6% and the 2015 Restructuring18.7% for the three months ended December 30, 2016 (in thousands):

31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, respectively, with these trend differences being mainly attributable to favorable margin trends from our recent PA Consulting investment, the BlackLynx and Buffalo Group acquisitions, partially offset by market conditions and certain contract wind downs in our U.S. businesses.

On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”)$3.8 million, 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.

The total amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facilityno significant impact in the form of direct borrowings at December 29, 2017 was $1,085.2  million. The Company has issued $2.5 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $512.3 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 29, 2017. In addition, the Company had issued $491.6 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $494.1 million at December 29, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2020 and 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. Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the  Revolving Credit Facility), borrowings under the  Revolving Credit Facility bearcurrent year period.

Net interest at either 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%. 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. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.100% and 0.250% 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, loans and investments, liens, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates.  In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at December 29, 2017.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for, among other things, an amendment to certain financial definitions used in the Revolving Credit Facility, including “Consolidated EBITDA”. These amendments were effective upon the consummation of the acquisition of CH2M in December 2017.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and letter of credit issuers and BNP Paribas as administrative agent, TD Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association as co-documentation agent, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as joint book runners, and as joint arrangers.

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. The Term Loan Facility matures in December 2020  and permits the Company to borrow in U.S. dollars at a base rate or a eurocurrency rate. Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.00% and 1.50% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0.00% and 0.50%. 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.

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, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with these covenants at December 29, 2017.

In conjunction with the acquisition of CH2M, the Company assumed certain equipment financing that was incurred by CH2M prior to the acquisition.  The balance of the equipment financing as of December 29, 2017 was $6.6 million and is due in monthly installments through September 2021.  The financing bears interest at rates ranging from 0.22% to 3.29%.  The financing is secured by certain equipment.

In general, we recognize revenues at the time we provide services. Pre-contract costs are generally expensed as incurred. 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 percentage-of-completion method of accounting is applied by comparing contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. On cost-reimbursable contracts, the cost of materials and subcontracts are generally excluded from the calculation of the measure of progress towards completion to provide a more meaningful allocation of income. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion.  

Unapproved change orders are included in the contract price to the extent it is probable that such change orders will result in additional contract revenue and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Claims meeting these recognition criteria are included in revenues only to the extent of the related costs incurred. The percentage of revenues realized by the Company by type of contract during fiscal 2017 can be found in Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Certain cost-reimbursable contracts include incentive-fee arrangements.  These incentive fees can be based on 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.  Revenues are not recognized for non-recoverable costs.  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 estimate the amount of such non-billable costs and adjust our revenues accordingly.

When we are directly responsible for subcontractor labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the costs of such items in both revenues and costs (and we refer to such costs as “pass-through” costs). On those projects where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not reflected in either revenues or costs.

The following table sets forth pass-through costs included in revenues for each of the three months ended December 29, 2017 and  December 30, 2016 (in thousands):

As is common to 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 assets of our joint ventures, therefore, consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from clients), 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 ventures 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 a controlling financial interest and are the primary beneficiary.

For the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, we use either the equity method of accounting or proportionate consolidation. There were no changes in facts and circumstances during the period that caused the Company to reassess the method of accounting for its VIEs.

13. Defined Pension Benefit Obligations

Jacobs UK Limited (“JUK”) is the sponsor of certain pension plans in the UK (“UK Plans”).  The UK Plans currently have an estimated funding deficit of approximately $201.3 million. Given the current estimated funding deficit, the Company replaced JUK’s current recovery plan with an intercompany asset backed pension contribution arrangement.

The contribution arrangement establishes funding for the UK pension plans via a 15-year long term note issued by Jacobs through a non-US affiliate to the UK pension plans. The Note is USD denominated with a stated principal of approximately $131.6 million.  Payments of principal and interest on the note are approximately $12.5 million per year.

In connection with the acquisition of CH2M on December 15, 2017, the Company has preliminarily recorded estimates of CH2M’s pension plan assets and liabilities which are reflected in the amounts of $1.1 billion and ($1.2 billion), respectively as of December 29, 2017.  CH2M sponsors several defined benefit pension plans primarily in the U.S. and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”).  In the U.S., CH2M has three noncontributory defined benefit pension plans.  Plan benefits are generally based on years of service and compensation during the span of employment.

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. The Company paid $13.8 millionexpense for the three months ended December 29, 2017 and $5.131, 2021 was $17.9 million, for the three months ended December 30, 2016 in these taxes. Additionally, all excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in our provision for income taxes are now classified as anoperating 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 Company recognized $0.9 million of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 29, 2017.

  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.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act reduces the top corporate U.S. federal statutory 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.  For Jacobs that will be the Company’s taxable year beginning October 1, 2018.  

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 to 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 the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, December 29, 2017, we had 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.

Page 20


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 provisional remeasurement resulted in a $24 million net favorable discrete benefit to income tax expense for the period.  In addition, the Company has reached a preliminary conclusion that it should record a valuation allowance with respect to certain foreign tax credit deferred tax assets in the current quarter as a result of the Tax Act.  The estimated amount of the valuation allowance is $53 million and is treated as a discrete charge for the period.  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.

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 of the transition tax.  Based upon our review of the Company’s historical foreign tax credit position and post-1986 E&P, it is estimated at this time that the Company should not have any liability for the transition tax.  However, we are still in the process of completing our calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for the newly acquired foreign subsidiaries related to the recent 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.  

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was 93.9%, an increase of $1.7 million from 28.8%$16.2 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in net interest expense for the quarterlythree month


Page 41


period year over year is due to higher levels of average debt outstanding relating in part to the funding of the PA Consulting investment and the BlackLynx acquisition, in addition to higher interest rates.
Miscellaneous income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $9.7 million in comparison to $156.4 million for the corresponding period last year. The $146.7 million decrease from the prior year three-month period was due primarily to prior year pre-tax unrealized gains on the Company's equity investments in Worley and C3, which were sold during fiscal year 2021. The three months ended January 1, 2021 included $93.1 million in pre-tax unrealized gains associated with changes in the fair value of our investment in Worley stock and certain foreign currency revaluations relating to the ECR sale and $82.6 million in net gains related to the C3 investment. These were partially offset by $27.9 million in fiscal 2021 pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges in respect of our AWE investment.
The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 were 9.4% and 24.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate isfrom continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was lower than the corresponding rate in the prior period primarily due to $29 million in net discrete charges during thea current year quarter, comprisedtax benefit of a $24$15.7 million related to the release of previously reserved foreign tax credits, $4.2 million excess tax benefit attributable to stock compensation, and $4.0 million benefit from the provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax items in the U.S., offset by a corresponding valuation allowance charge of $53 million.  

filing amended status returns.

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 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $7 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.

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.

Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and expires on July 22, 2018. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. The timing of share repurchases may depend upon market conditions, other uses of capital, and other factors.

Dividend Program

On December 1, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the initiation of a cash dividend program.  A quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share was paid on November 10, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on  September 27, 2017.  There were no dividends paid in the corresponding period of fiscal 2017.

On January 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock that will be paid on March 16, 2018, to shareholders of record on the close of business on February 16, 2018.  Future dividend payments are subject to review and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and litigation. The guarantees to which we are a party generally relate to project schedules and plant performance. Most of the litigation in which we are involved has us as a defendant in workers’ compensation, personal injury, environmental, employment/labor, professional liability, and other similar lawsuits.

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our business and operations. Our insurance programs have varying coverage limits and maximums, and insurance companies may seek to not pay any claims we might make. We have also elected to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. As a result, we may be subject to 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 our contracts. 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 and several of its agencies, we are subject to many levels of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the U.S. federal government with respect to our contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations, and procurement practices. 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., as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the U.S.

We record in our Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, and 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, and 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.

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 any 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 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.  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

Page 23


JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

under California’s Contractors’ State License Law (“CSLL”) to disgorge certain fees paid by AOC, and the Jacobs entities 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 Jacobs Facilities 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.  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.

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 JV 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 for $665.5 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 $1.66 billion.  If the Consortium is found liable, this matter 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 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.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to provide a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition from the most recent fiscal year-end to December 29, 2017, and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year. In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:

Lines of Business

The Company’s operations are organized around four global lines of business (“LOBs”), which also serve as the Company’s operating segments:  Aerospace & Technology, Buildings & Infrastructure, Industrial and Petroleum & Chemicals.  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 to 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 in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

Under the current organization, each LOB has a president that reports directly to the CODM. In addition, 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 corporate’s results of operations).

CH2M Acquisition

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For purposes of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing 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 (December 15, 2017-December 29, 2017) being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of business under a transitional business organization structure.  As part of the integration of the CH2M businesses into the Company’s business operating structures, the Company expects to realign its business financial reporting framework into three global business lines by no later than the second half of fiscal 2018 under the following new lines of business:

• Aerospace, Technology, Environmental and Nuclear (ATEN): serving global aerospace, automotive, defense, telecommunications, nuclear and environmental clients and the U.S. intelligence community.

• Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced Facilities (BIAF): serving broad sectors including buildings, water, transportation (roads, rail, aviation and ports), and advanced facilities for life sciences, semiconductors, data centers, consumer products and other advanced manufacturing operations.

• Energy, Chemicals and Resources (ECR): serving energy, chemicals and resources sectors, including upstream, midstream and downstream oil, gas, refining, chemicals and mining and minerals industries.

Restructuring and Other Charges

      During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities) associated with the Company’s announced definitive agreement to acquire CH2M.  Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and include associated charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices and have amounted to approximately $19.3 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter ended December 29, 2017.  These activities are expected to continue through 2019.  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 $150 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 B&I 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.  Additional charges of $1.2 million were recorded under this business exit during third quarter fiscal 2017 associated mainly with contract accounts receivable charges.  

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 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 obligations recorded in connection with these activities.

Overview – Three Months EndedDecember 29, 2017

Net earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 ended December 29, 2017 were $2.2 million (or $0.02 per diluted share), a decrease of $58.4 million from $60.5 million (or $0.50 per diluted share) for the corresponding period last year.  Included in the Company’s operating results for the 2018 quarterly period were $14.7 million (or $0.11 per share) in after tax Restructuring and Other Charges, $51.4 million (or $0.41 per share) in transaction costs associated with the Company’s December 15, 2017 acquisition of CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (“CH2M”) and $28.8 million in income tax charges associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”).   Our first quarter fiscal 2017 results included $22.8 million (or $0.18 per share) after tax charges associated with the 2015 Restructuring.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of 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 market presence in the water, nuclear and environmental remediation sectors and to further the Company’s growth strategy. The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash and issued approximately $1.4 billion of Jacobs’ common stock to the former stockholders and certain equity award holders of CH2M.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 were $2.75 billion, an increase of $198.7 million, or 7.8% from $2.55 billion for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in revenues was due primarily to favorable impacts from the CH2M acquisition, which contributed approximately $131 million in incremental revenue for the quarter.  Also, higher volumes in our legacy A&T and B&I businesses also contributed to the increase, partly offset by lower revenues in P&C and with Industrial revenues being flat for the comparative periods. Pass-through costs included in revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 were $596.2 million, a decrease of $76.8 million, or 11.4%, from $673.0 million for the corresponding period last year.

Gross profit for first quarter 2018 was $487.2 million, up $67.9 million, or 16.2% from $419.3 million from the corresponding quarter in 2017.  Our gross profit margins were 17.7% and 16.4% for the three month periods ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively.  The higher volume impacts seen in our A&T and B&I business, incremental benefits of the CH2M businesses acquired, and our continuing strategic focus on realigning our portfolio to higher margin businesses and project execution drove improving gross profit and margins for the year over year periods across our lines of business.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 29, 2017 were $439.5 million, an increase of $108.9 million, or 32.9%, from $330.7 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in SG&A expenses for the three month comparative periods was due mainly to CH2M transaction costs of $67.6 million, Restructuring and other associated costs of $19.3 million and higher year over year personnel costs during first quarter fiscal 2018, offset in part by $31.7 million in charges during first quarter fiscal 2017 from the 2015 Restructuring which concluded at the end of fiscal 2017.  Also, incremental SG&A expense from the acquired CH2M businesses approximated $20 million during the three-month 2018 period.

Net interest expense for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $2.0 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in net interest expense for the three months ended December 29, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to higher levels of average debt balances outstanding related to financing activities for the acquisition of CH2M, which was partially funded with term loan financing of $1.5 billion and increased revolving credit line borrowings of $850.2 million.

Miscellaneous expense, net for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $2.5 million, up $1.8 million from $0.7 million for the corresponding period last year.  The increase was due primarily to unfavorable year over year impacts from unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the United States.  The Act reduces the top corporate US federal statutory 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 are effective for the first tax year beginning after January 1, 2018.  For Jacobs that will be the Company’s taxable year beginning October 1, 2018.

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was 93.9%, an increase from 28.8% for the corresponding period last year.  The increase in the quarterly effective tax rate is due to $29 million in net discrete charges during the current year quarter resulting from the Act, comprised of a $24 million benefit from the provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax items in the U.S., offset by a corresponding valuation allowance charge of $53 million.

It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions of approximately $7 million (being realized as a reduction in income tax expense) as a result of concluding various tax audits and closing tax years.

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring activities (primarily severance related activities) associated with the Company’s announced definitive agreement to acquire CH2M.  Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and include associated(2)Included in the three months ended December 31, 2021 is $72.3 million of real estate impairment charges for professional services, personnel costs, severance and costs associated with co-locating Jacobs and CH2M offices, amounting to approximately $19.3 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter ended December 29, 2017.  These activities are expected to continue through 2019.  These activities are not expected to involve the exit of any service types or client end-markets.

Transaction costs associated with the CH2M acquisition in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 29, 2017 are comprised of the following (in millions):

The three months ended January 1, 2021 include $93.1 million in fair value adjustments related to our investment in Worley stock (net of Worley stock dividend) and certain foreign currency revaluations relating to the ECR sale, $82.6 million in fair value adjustments related to our investment in C3 stock and $(27.9) million related to impairment charges on our AWE Management Ltd. investment. The investments in Worley and C3 were sold in fiscal 2021 and therefore there are no comparable amounts in the current quarter.

In evaluating the Company’s performance by operating segment, the CODM reviews revenues and operating profit. As discussed above, segment operating profit includes not only local SG&A expenses but the SG&A expenses of the Company’s support groups that have been allocated to the segments. In addition, the Company attributes each LOB’s specific incentive compensation plan costs to the LOBs. The revenues of certain LOBs are more affected by pass-through revenues than other LOBs. The methods for recognizing revenue, incentive fees, project losses, and change orders are consistent among the LOBs.

On December 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CH2M.  For purposes of the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2018 segment reporting, the operating financial information of CH2M has been categorized within the Company’s existing LOB structure, with its sales and operating profit results for the stub period from December 15, 2017 through  December 29, 2017  being allocated to the Company’s A&T, B&I and P&C lines of businesses under a transitional business organization structure.

other department spend increases.

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, as well as other items, where it has been determined in the opinion of management, that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.

Restructuring and Other Charges
See Note 18- Restructuring and Other Charges for information on the Company’s activity relating to restructuring and other charges.
Backlog Information

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 Operations & Maintenance ("O&M&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

Page 44


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 EPCEngineering, Procurement & Construction ("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 a number ofseveral 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 increase in backlog in Aerospace & TechnologyCritical Mission Solutions (CMS) from December 30, 2016January 1, 2021 was primarily driven by success in closing on a number of key opportunities in the result of new awards fromU.S government space and the U.S. federal government.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 29, 2017,31, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1,059.8 million$1.25 billion in cash and cash equivalents $512 millionand $1.67 billion of available borrowing capacity under our $1.6$2.25 billion 2014 revolvingrevolving credit facilityagreement (the “Revolving"Revolving Credit Facility”Facility"),. We finance much of our operations and growth through cash flows 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,generated by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of CH2M common stock and preferred stock. our operations.

The Company paid total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion in cash 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 million prepayment penalty, which totaled approximately $700 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.

At December 29, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $1,059.8 million, at December 31, 2021 represented an increase of $285.7$230.8 million from $774.2 million$1.01 billion at September 29, 2017.

The most significant drivers contributing toOctober 1, 2021, the net increase in cash and cash equivalents  from September 29, 2017  to December 29, 2017 were favorable cash flows from financing activities of $1.6 billion, offset by $1.4 billion used in investing cash flows, both ofreasons for which activities were largely driven by the CH2M acquisition.  Cash flows from operations of $46.9 million also contributed to the increase.  On a comparative basis, cash and cash equivalents increased $80.8 million to $736.5 million during the three-month period ended December 30, 2016 from $655.7 million at September 30, 2016.  This increase was driven mainly from cash flow from operations of $110.4 million and cash flow from financing activities of $15.3 million, partially offset by cash flows from investing activities of $23.1 million and exchange rate effects on cash of $21.8 million.

Our cash flow fromprovided by operations of $46.9$321.6 million during the three-month period ended December 29, 2017 was comparatively lower than the $110.4 million in cash flow from operations for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017, due mainly to lower net earnings in the current period which reflect the CH2M acquisition related expenses and restructuring and other costs, partly offset by reductions in non-current assets.  Included in our cash flows from operations were payments of approximately $34.2 million in restructuring and other costs and $27.6 million in CH2M transaction expenses.  For the three months ended December 30, 2016 we had payments of $44.231, 2021 was favorable by $209.0 million in restructuring and other costs.

comparison to the cash flow provided by operations of $112.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. This improvement was due mainly to improved working capital performance along with favorable impacts from net cash earnings year over year. The improvement in working capital performance was primarily driven by favorability in accounts receivable collections trends along with less cash used in accrued liabilities year over year.

Our cash used infor investing activities for the three months ended December 29, 2017 was $1.4 billion and primarily driven bywas $249.6 million, compared to cash used for investing activities of $193.2 million in the CH2M acquisition, net of cash amounts acquired fromcorresponding prior year period, with this change due primarily to the acquisition of $315 million.  Additions to propertyBlackLynx in the current quarter and equipment were roughly flat forBuffalo Group in the comparative periods.

partly offset by cash used for repurchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $35.1 million and $41.6 million in dividends to shareholders and noncontrolling interests. Cash provided by financing activities in the corresponding prior year period was $18.7 million, due primarily to net proceeds from borrowings of $2.7 billion, most$95.0 million, offset by cash used for share repurchases of which was used in connection with financing of the CH2M acquisition.  Repayments of long term debt of $1.1 billion during first quarter fiscal 2018 were up compared to $303$24.8 million and $35.7 million in first quarter fiscal 2017, with this increase due mainlydividends to payoff of CH2M’s legacy debt balances in connection with the closing of the acquisition.  Comparatively lower cash flows from proceeds from issuances of common stock during the current quarter were offset by lower cash outflows for common stock repurchases.  The Company paid $18.1 million in dividends during the three-month period ended December 29, 2017, with no dividends paid in the comparative prior year period.

shareholders and noncontrolling interests.

At December 29, 2017,31, 2021, the Company had approximately $586.9$162.2 million in cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and $633.6 million$1.08 billion held outside of the U.S. (primarily in the U.K., the Eurozone, Chile,Australia, India, Japan and India)the United Arab Emirates), 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, 7- Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20162021 Form 10-K), there are no material impediments to repatriating these funds to the U.S.

The Company had $341.6$273.7 million in letters of credit outstanding at December 29, 2017.31, 2021. Of this amount, $2.5$1.7 million was issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $339.1$272.0 million was issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.

On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc., ("StreetLight") for a purchase price based on an enterprise value of $209 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. StreetLight is a pioneer of mobility analytics who uses its data and machine learning resources to shed light on mobility and enable users to solve complex transportation problems.
On November 19, 2021, a subsidiary of Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $234.9 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In addition, the transaction involved the potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin thresholds being achieved in calendar year 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date is $1.3 million. The future contingent consideration will be paid, if and to the extent achieved, in second quarter of fiscal 2023. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition.
On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting, a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm. The total consideration paid by the Company was $1.7 billion, funded through cash on hand, proceeds from a new term loan and draws on the Company's existing revolving credit facility. Further, in connection with the transaction, an additional $261 million in investment proceeds had not yet been distributed at the investment date due to continuing employment requirements of associated management owners. Consequently, this amount represented compensation expense incurred related to the investment that was expensed subsequent to the acquisition date, and was reflected in selling, general and administrative expense and cash from operations for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees, whose redeemable noncontrolling interests had a fair value of $582.4 million on the closing date, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment under U.S. GAAP accounting rules. See Note 15- PA Consulting Business Combination for more discussion on the investment and Note 12- Borrowings for more discussion on the financing for the transaction.
On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2021 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million and £650.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used primarily to fund the investment in PA Consulting. The 2021 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2020 Term Loan Facility.
On November 24, 2020, a subsidiary of Jacobs completed the acquisition of Buffalo Group, a leader in advanced cyber and intelligence solutions which allows Jacobs to further expand its cyber and intelligence solutions offerings to government clients. The Company paid total consideration of $190.1 million, which was comprised of approximately $182.4 million in cash to the former owners of Buffalo Group and contingent consideration of $7.7 million, The contingent consideration was subsequently recognized as an offset to selling, general and administrative expense when it was determined no amounts would be paid. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assumed the Buffalo Group's debt of approximately $7.7 million. The Company repaid all of the assumed Buffalo Group debt by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2021. The Company has recorded its final purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition, which is summarized in Note 16- Other Business Combinations.
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 strategyprojected cash requirements 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 further believe that our financial resources and discretionary spend controls, as well as near term benefits from government assistance programs, will allow us to continue managing the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on our business and reassess accordingly.
We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at December 29, 2017.

As of December 29, 2017,31, 2021, we had an aggregate of $2,585.2 million$2.63 billion in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility and our Revolving Credit Facility. Facilities. Interest on amounts borrowed under these agreements is subject to adjustment based on the Company’sCompany’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility)Facilities). Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio,

borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit FacilityFacilities bear interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.0%0.875% and 1.5%1.625% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0%0.0% and 0.5%0.625% including applicable margins while borrowings denominated in British pounds under these respective facilities bear interest at an adjusted SONIA rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.625%.

Additionally, if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points. However, as discussed in Note 19- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments, we are party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $923.5 million to convert the variable rate interest based liabilities associated with a corresponding amount of our debt into fixed interest rate liabilities, leaving $1.71 billion in principal amount subject to variable interest rate risk.

For the three months ended December 29, 2017,31, 2021, our weighted average borrowings that are subject to floating rate borrowingsexposure were approximately $918 million.$1.78 billion. If floating interest rates had increased by 1.00%, our interest expense for the three months ended December 29, 201731, 2021 would have increased by approximately $2.4$4.5 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

In situations where our operations incur contractthe Company incurs costs in currencies other than theirour 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 in order 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 havehas $503.5 million in notional value of exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

at December 31, 2021. See Note 19-

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chair and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its ChairmanChair and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal 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”),defined above, as of December 29, 2017,31, 2021, 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, as of the Evaluation Date, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’sSEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s ChairmanChair and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As previously disclosed, the Company acquired CH2M in December 2017. Prior to the acquisition, CH2M reported in their Annual Report on Form 10-K Part II – Item 9A – Controls and Procedures for the year ended December 30, 2016 that it had identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting relating to internal control deficiencies that involved the development of project cost estimates for long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.  Prior to the closing of the acquisition, CH2M management developed and initiated a plan to remediate these internal control deficiencies, which included the implementation of new and revised key internal controls.  As of December 29, 2017, management of the Company has not fully assessed CH2M’s internal control over financial reporting and is currently testing new and revised internal controls for design and operating effectiveness.  As permitted by SEC guidance for newly acquired businesses, management’s assessment of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures did not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures of CH2M that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting. CH2M accounted for approximately 42% of total assets as of the Evaluation Date and approximately 5% of total revenues of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended on the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no 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 December 29, 201731, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, itsour internal control over financial reporting.

Please refer to Item 1A, 1A- Risk Factors in our 20172021 Form 10-K, which is 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.

Before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock, you should carefully consider those risk factors, described belowas well as the financial and the information disclosed elsewherebusiness disclosures contained in this quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q that provides factual updates to risk factors contained inand our 2017 Form 10-K.

If we do not have adequate indemnification for our nuclear services, it could adversely affect our businessother current and financial condition.

The Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, commonly calledperiodic reports filed with the Price-Anderson Act (“PAA”), is a U.S. federal law, which, among other things, regulates radioactive materials and the nuclear energy industry, including liability and compensation in the event of nuclear related incidents. The PAA provides certain protections and indemnification to nuclear energy plant operators and U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) contractors. The PAA protections and indemnification apply to us as part of our services to the U.S. nuclear energy industry and DOE for new facilities, maintenance, modification, decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear energy, weapons, and research facilities.

We offer similar services in other jurisdictions outside the U.S.  For those jurisdictions, varying levels of nuclear liability protection is provided by international treaties, and/or domestic laws, such as the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act of Canada and the Nuclear Installations Act of the United Kingdom, insurance and/or assets of the nuclear installation operators (some of which are backed by governments) as well as under appropriate enforceable contractual indemnifications and hold-harmless provisions.  These protections and indemnifications, however, may not cover all of our liability that could arise in the performance of these services. To the extent the PAA or other protections and indemnifications do not apply to our services, our business could be adversely affected because of the cost of losses associated with liability not covered by the available protections and indemnifications, or by virtue of our loss of business because of these added costs
