KBR Announces Strong Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Earnings
● Q4 and 2015 earnings significantly improved from 2014 driven by strong operating performance
● On track to deliver strategic plan goals for cost savings / margins by end of 2016
HOUSTON, Texas — February 26, 2016 — KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR), a global technology, engineering, procurement and construction company serving the hydrocarbons and government services industries, today announced strong fourth quarter 2015 financial results.
Net income attributable to KBR was $42 million or $0.29 per diluted share ($0.36 per diluted share as adjusted - see supplemental information), in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $1.2 billion or ($8.57) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.1 billion compared to $1.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014 ($1.2 billion excluding 4Q14 revenues of businesses divested or deconsolidated in 2015).
"Our fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 consolidated results reflect continued strength in our operational performance and progress towards achieving the strategic objectives we previously outlined. KBR's transformation is well underway and we are on track to achieve the year-end 2016 targets for segment profit margin percentages and at least $200 million in annual cost savings. To date the company has identified and actioned more than $165 million of the $200 million savings target," said Stuart Bradie, President and Chief Executive Officer of KBR, Inc.
"KBR's technology and project delivery capability, focused primarily on natural gas derivative products and associated downstream facilities, positions us well in what is likely to be a difficult market. Growth in our Technology and Government Services businesses continues to be strong and we believe this will continue throughout 2016 and beyond. In the fourth quarter we and a partner were awarded the Magnolia LNG project in Louisiana. This was a major win for KBR and our client is marketing the LNG to potential buyers and finalizing the project's financing. Our client remains confident the project will proceed and we expect to add this contract to KBR's backlog of unfilled orders upon financial close. Earlier this month we and a partner were awarded the £500 million U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) Military Flight Training Systems contract which will extend over 18 years, and we continue in sole source negotiations with the U.K. MoD on the Army 2020 rebasing project. We continue to make good progress in successfully closing a number of legacy U.S. Government disputes ranging from audits related to invoices from the Iraq war to winning a number of tort cases on their merits. Finally, we continued our balanced capital allocation policy by adding bolt on acquisitions while returning $109 million to shareholders in 2015 via share repurchases and dividends. Our cash performance was strong in 4Q15 and our balance sheet provides confidence to our clients and optionality in challenging markets. Additionally, we pay a competitive yielding dividend," Bradie said.

Business Discussion (All comparisons are fourth quarter 2015 versus fourth quarter 2014 unless otherwise noted.)
Technology & Consulting (T&C) Results
Technology & Consulting gross profit was $20 million, up $15 million from the prior year while revenue was $93 million, an increase of $25 million. Gross profit was higher primarily due to reductions in revenue estimates on a number of legacy projects in 4Q14 that did not reoccur in 4Q15. The higher revenue resulted from increased proprietary equipment sales in the quarter.
The acquisition of a number of Chematur technology subsidiaries completed in 1Q16 complements the existing technology business which should benefit from opportunities for syngas, refining and olefins projects including new builds and revamps to improve efficiencies of existing facilities, while the smaller upstream consulting business remains challenged from low oil prices. We also continue to explore additional technology based acquisitions.
Engineering & Construction (E&C) Results
Engineering & Construction gross profit was $69 million, up $37 million from the prior year. 4Q15 reflects good operational performance while 4Q14 included higher estimated costs to complete certain projects that did not reoccur in 4Q15.
Revenue was $696 million, a decrease of $342 million primarily related to the deconsolidation of KBR's Americas Industrial Services business which had revenues of $126 million in 4Q14, lower revenue on an LNG project as the project advances, and reduced activity on a number of other projects.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $17 million.
Government Services (GS) Results
Government Services gross profit was a negative $6 million, an increase of $54 million while revenue was $174 million, an increase of $63 million from the prior year. The increase in both revenue and gross profit was primarily driven by $46 million in charges relating to the legacy LogCAP III and Restore Iraqi Oil (RIO) contracts and increased estimated costs to complete two other projects in 4Q14 that did not reoccur in 4Q15. The company also incurred $5 million in legacy legal fees in 4Q15.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $9 million, down $9 million, primarily driven by a 4Q14 increase in the inception-to-date margin recognized on a construction project for the U.K. MoD that did not reoccur in 4Q15. Equity in earnings reflects continued strong performance on joint venture annuity type contracts in the U.K.
Subsequent to the year-end results, the KBR and Elbit Systems Affinity Flying Training joint venture was awarded a U.K. MoD Fixed Wing Training procurement, operations and maintenance contract valued at approximately £500 million. This project is expected to be accounted for as equity in earnings over the 18-year term.
Looking forward, KBR remains well placed in sole source negotiations on the U.K. MoD's large scale Army 2020 rebasing contract, which is the latest phase of an existing contract already being executed by KBR and its partners. KBR's U.S. business is also expected to continue to grow supporting the US military internationally. Finally, we continued to make good progress in resolving audit and legal issues resulting from the legacy LogCAP III and RIO contracts.

Non-Strategic Business (NSB) Results
Non-Strategic Business gross profit was $11 million, up $150 million, primarily driven by good performance on the company's portfolio of power projects in 4Q15 versus significant loss provisions taken in 4Q14. Revenue was $117 million, down $83 million, primarily related to the sale of the Building Group business unit in 2Q15 which had revenues of approximately $81 million in 4Q14 and from reduced activities on two power projects. Two of the company's three remaining power projects are now largely complete and the third project is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Strategic Actions Update
During the fourth quarter, the company incurred $36 million in pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment costs and recorded a $27 million pre-tax gain on the disposition of certain assets as it continued to rebalance its business portfolio to focus on Global Hydrocarbons and International Government Services.
2016 Guidance
The company initiates 2016 fully diluted EPS guidance with a range of $1.20 to $1.45, excluding legal costs associated with legacy U.S. Government contracts, as the company continues to defend against unjustified claims. KBR currently expects these legal costs to be approximately $15 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share in 2016.

(a) | Backlog is presented differently depending on whether the contract is consolidated by KBR or is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Backlog related to consolidated projects is presented as 100% of the expected revenue from the project. Backlog generally includes total expected revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding commitment. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate depending on estimated revenues and contract duration. Where contract duration is indefinite and clients can terminate for convenience at any time without having to compensate us for periods beyond the date of termination, projects included in backlog are limited to the estimated amount of expected revenue within the following twelve months. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the value of our services of each project in backlog. Previously, for long term contracts associated with the U.K. government's privately financed initiatives or projects ("PFIs" also "service concession arrangements"), the amount included in backlog was limited to five years. Effective in the second quarter of 2015, we modified our backlog policy and now record the estimated value of all work forecast to be performed under the PFI contracts. The reason for the change is that under these PFI contracts, the client is obligated to pay us certain amounts spanning periods beyond five years even if the client terminates the contracts for convenience. This change only relates to backlog of unfilled orders and does not alter our longstanding polices for revenue recognition; therefore, it has no impact on our financial statements. Our estimate of revenues related to payment obligations for periods beyond the five years is $5.4 billion and was included in the total ending backlog at June 30, 2015. Included in the backlog table above is our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures' estimated revenues. However, because these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $8.5 billion, including the PFI change discussed above, at December 31, 2015 and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2014. Our backlog included in the table above for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest totaled $285 million and $928 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, 22% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 49% was attributable to services concession arrangements, and 29% of our backlog was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract; however, except for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. |
