FLUOR REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS INCLUDING GROWTH IN
OIL & GAS ORDERS AND BACKLOG
· EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.95
· NEW AWARDS OF $7.3 BILLION
· BACKLOG OF $43.0 BILLION
IRVING, TEXAS — August 2, 2012 — Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net earnings attributable to Fluor for the second quarter were $161 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared with $165 million, or $0.94 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. Segment profit for the quarter was $287 million, which compared with $280 million a year ago. During the quarter, the Company achieved double-digit profit growth in four segments, with only Power showing a decline. Consolidated revenue grew by 18 percent to $7.1 billion, from $6.0 billion in the second quarter of 2011.
New awards for the second quarter were strong at $7.3 billion, compared with a record $9.7 billion recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Current quarter awards included $5.0 billion in the Oil & Gas segment, $1.1 billion in Industrial & Infrastructure and $769 million in Government. Consolidated backlog for the quarter rose to a company record of $43.0 billion, up $2.7 billion from a year ago.
“Our strong performance to date clearly demonstrates the benefits of our end market diversification and strong global presence,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Seaton. “We continue to see substantial market opportunities globally, and are particularly encouraged by a growing prospect list in the United States relating to the availability of low cost shale gas.”
Fluor’s financial condition remains very strong, with substantial liquidity including cash plus current and noncurrent marketable securities totaling $2.5 billion at the end of the quarter. During the second quarter, the company repurchased 2.2 million shares for $106 million. Corporate G&A expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $31 million, comparable to the second quarter of last year.
Outlook
Based on strong year-to-date performance, the Company is raising the lower end of its 2012 EPS guidance to a range of $3.50 - $3.80 per diluted share, from its previous guidance of $3.40 - $3.80 per share.
Business Segments
Fluor’s Oil & Gas business reported segment profit of $84 million, which rose 22 percent from the second quarter of 2011. Revenue grew 16 percent to $2.3 billion, from $2.0 billion last year. Second quarter results reflect higher contributions from the upstream business line. Oil & Gas new awards in the quarter were $5.0 billion, which compares with $3.2 million in the second
2
quarter of 2011. Second quarter awards included new scope and incremental releases for a major oil sands expansion project in Canada. Backlog at the end of the second quarter rose to $19.5 billion, up 16 percent from last quarter and up 30 percent from a year ago.
The Industrial & Infrastructure group reported segment profit of $121 million, up 11 percent from $109 million in the second quarter of 2011. Revenue for the segment was $3.4 billion, up 29 percent from a year ago. Strong second quarter results were driven by growth in the infrastructure and mining and metals business lines. New awards in the second quarter totaled $1.1 billion, including additional scope on an iron ore project in West Africa. Segment backlog at the end of the quarter declined to $19.5 billion, from $21.4 billion a year ago, mainly due to substantially higher revenue in the mining and metals business line.
Government grew segment profit by 26 percent to $40 million, from $32 million in the second quarter of 2011, mainly due to higher performance-based fees on the LOGCAP IV contract in Afghanistan. Revenue for the quarter rose to $871 million, from $848 million a year ago. New awards totaled $769 million in the second quarter, compared with $1.1 billion last year which included advanced funding on the LOGCAP IV contract. Backlog at the end of the quarter was $505 million, compared with $695 million last quarter.
Segment profit for Global Services was $49 million in the second quarter, up 18 percent from $41 million a year ago. Revenue for the quarter was effectively flat with the prior year at $403 million. Profit growth was driven by improvement in the operations and maintenance,
3
equipment and staffing business lines. New awards for the quarter were $279 million and ending backlog was $1.9 billion, compared with $2.1 billion a year ago.
Fluor’s Power group reported a second quarter segment loss of $7 million, which compares with segment profit of $30 million a year ago. The second quarter of 2012 included $15 million in expenses associated with NuScale, a small modular nuclear reactor technology company in which the company owns a majority interest. Revenue for the quarter was $206 million, comparable to the revenue level a year ago. The Power segment continues to be impacted by relatively weak demand for new power generation. New awards for the quarter were $118 million, compared with $107 million a year ago. Segment backlog was $1.7 billion, which is up from $744 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Results for the Six Months
Net earnings attributable to Fluor for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $316 million, or $1.86 per diluted share. This compares with $305 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2011. Revenue rose 21 percent to $13.4 billion, compared with $11.1 billion in the first half of last year.
