Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies KBR, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 21, 2006 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. KBR, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "KBR", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is a global provider of differentiated, professional services and technologies across the asset and program life-cycle within the government services and hydrocarbons industries. Our capabilities include research and development, feasibility and solutions development, specialized technical consulting, systems integration, engineering and design service, process technologies, program management, construction services, commissioning and startup services, highly specialized mission and logistics support solutions, and asset operations and maintenance services and other support services to a diverse customer base, including government and military organizations of the U.S., U.K. and Australia and a wide range of customers across the hydrocarbons value chain. Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of KBR and our wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. We account for investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our equity investments and VIEs. The cost method is used when we do not have the ability to exert significant influence. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Amounts classified as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts" on the consolidated balance sheets of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been reclassified as "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have evaluated all events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were issued and have included the appropriate disclosures. Segment Reorganization Effective January 1, 2018, we changed the name of our Engineering & Construction segment to the "Hydrocarbons Services" segment. This change reflects strategic shifts we have made in this business over recent years to evolve to more recurring and reimbursable engineering, consulting and industrial maintenance services, coupled with our de-emphasis in engaging in fixed price EPC projects except for those that fit within our commercial discipline. Also effective January 1, 2018, we changed the structure of our internal organization in a manner that caused our consulting business to be moved from the Technology & Consulting business segment to the Hydrocarbons Services (formerly E&C) business segment. As of January 1, 2018, our segments consist of the following five reportable segments: • Government Services • Technology • Hydrocarbons Services • Non-Strategic Business • Other See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our segments. We have presented our segment results reflecting these changes for all periods presented. In conjunction with the change in segments, the Company evaluated its goodwill associated with the technology and consulting reporting units using Level 3 fair value inputs, and no impairment indicators were identified. Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by our management include but are not limited to the following: • project revenues, costs and profits on engineering and construction contracts, including recognition of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts • project revenues, award fees, costs and profits on government services contracts • provisions for uncollectible receivables • provisions for client claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, vendors and others • provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances and tax uncertainties • recoverability of goodwill • recoverability of other intangibles and long-lived assets and related estimated lives • recoverability of equity method and cost method investments • valuation of pension obligations and pension assets • accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation accruals • consolidation of VIEs • valuation of share-based compensation • valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations We classify revenue contract liabilities as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The noncurrent portion of contract liabilities is included in "Other liabilities" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Adoption of New Accounting Standards ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , codified as ASC Topic 606. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 and the related amendments ("ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of December 31, 2017. Results for operating periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. See Note 2 for a description of our accounting policy resulting from adoption of ASC 606. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to retained earnings in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018 as follows: Balance at Adjustments Due to Balance at Dollars in millions December 31, 2017 ASC 606 January 1, 2018 Assets Accounts receivable $ 510 $ 157 $ 667 Contract assets 383 (191 ) 192 Other current assets 93 5 98 Equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates 387 87 474 Deferred income taxes 300 (6 ) 294 Other assets 124 1 125 Liabilities Contract liabilities 368 9 377 Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates 101 (101 ) — Other liabilities 171 1 172 Equity Retained Earnings 877 144 1,021 The impact of adoption on our consolidated statement of operations, balance sheet and cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2018 was as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 As Balances Without Effect of Change Dollars in millions Reported Adoption of ASC 606 Higher/(Lower) Statement of Operations Revenues $ 1,278 $ 1,294 $ (16 ) Cost of revenues (1,156 ) (1,157 ) (1 ) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 21 19 2 Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests 82 92 (10 ) Provision for income taxes (22 ) (24 ) (2 ) Net income 60 68 (8 ) EPS Basic $ 0.41 $ 0.47 $ (0.06 ) Diluted $ 0.41 $ 0.47 $ (0.06 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 As Balances Without Effect of Change Dollars in millions Reported Adoption of ASC 606 Higher/(Lower) Statement of Operations Revenues $ 3,583 $ 3,588 $ (5 ) Cost of revenues (3,250 ) (3,251 ) (1 ) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 54 50 4 Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests 335 335 — Provision for income taxes (74 ) (75 ) (1 ) Net income 261 260 1 EPS Basic $ 1.68 $ 1.68 $ — Diluted $ 1.68 $ 1.68 $ — As of September 30, 2018 As Balances Without Effect of Change Dollars in millions Reported Adoption of ASC 606 Higher/(Lower) Assets Accounts receivable $ 866 $ 609 $ 257 Contract assets 214 471 (257 ) Other current assets 103 102 1 Equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates 724 716 8 Deferred income taxes 211 218 (7 ) Other assets 148 143 5 Liabilities Contract liabilities 464 496 (32 ) Deferred income taxes 12 14 (2 ) Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates — 97 (97 ) Other liabilities 164 164 — Equity Retained earnings 1,225 1,080 145 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (940 ) (933 ) (7 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 As Balances Without Effect of Change Dollars in millions Reported Adoption of ASC 606 Higher/(Lower) Cash flows from operating activities Net income $ 261 $ 260 $ 1 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates (54 ) (50 ) (4 ) Deferred income tax (benefit) expense 29 30 (1 ) Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquired businesses: Accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts (144 ) 114 (258 ) Contract assets (4 ) (263 ) 259 Contract liabilities (63 ) (65 ) 2 Other assets and liabilities (37 ) (38 ) 1 Total cash flows used in operating activities 36 36 — The impacts of adoption were primarily related to: (1) conforming our contracts recorded over time from previously acceptable methods to the cost-to-cost percentage of completion methodology, (2) combining certain deliverables that were previously considered separate deliverables into a single performance obligation, and (3) separating certain contracts that were previously considered one deliverable into multiple performance obligations. The impacts of adoption on our opening balance sheet were primarily related to reclassification of amounts between "Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" and "Contract assets" based on whether an unconditional ri ght to consideration has been established or not, and the deferral of costs incurred and payments received to fulfill a contract, which were previously recorded in income in the period incurred or received but under the new standard will generally be capitalized and amortized over the period of contract performance. In connection with the consolidation of certain previously unconsolidated VIEs associated with the Aspire Defence project in the first quarter of 2018, we elected to early adopt ASC 606 for each of the remaining unconsolidated Aspire Defence contracting entities effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption by the Aspire Defence contracting entities, we identified multiple performance obligations associated with the project deliverables that were previously accounted for as a single deliverable under its contract with the MoD. In addition to the above impacts of adoption on revenue and gross margin, the cumulative effect of the adoption by Aspire Defence contracting entities resulted in sufficient additional income that had been previously recorded as "Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $101 million , which was reversed and included in the cumulative effect adjustment. Also, deferred construction income in the amount of $87 million previously recorded in "Equity in and advance to unconsolidated affiliates" was reversed and included in the cumulative effect adjustment as a result of the early adoption of ASC 606 by the Aspire Defence contracting entities. Except for the Aspire Defence contract entities, we have availed the SEC exemption under ASU 2017-13 to defer the application of ASC 606 to our remaining unconsolidated joint ventures until January 1, 2019. Additional Balance Sheet Information Other Current Liabilities The components of "Other current liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are presented below: September 30, December 31, Dollars in millions 2018 2017 Current maturities of long-term debt $ 21 $ — Reserve for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts 7 15 Retainage payable 32 30 Income taxes payable 21 17 Restructuring reserve 5 9 Taxes payable not based on income 9 11 Value-added tax payable 30 13 Insurance payable 4 9 Dividend payable 11 11 Other miscellaneous liabilities 29 42 Total other current liabilities $ 169 $ 157 Other Liabilities Included in "Other liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is noncurrent deferred rent of $94 million and $99 million , respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1. Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following section represents revisions to those accounting policies due to the adoption of ASC 606 and the separate presentation of acquisition and integration related costs. Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognized when and as our performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. Contracts are considered to have a single performance obligation if the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, which is mainly because we provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability. Contracts that cover multiple phases of the product lifecycle (development, construction and maintenance & support) are typically considered to have multiple performance obligations even when they are part of a single contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. In cases where we do not provide the distinct good or service on a standalone basis, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. We provide product warranties to customers that are included in the sale and are not priced or sold separately or do not provide customers with a service in addition to assurance of compliance with agreed-upon specifications. We do not consider these types of warranties to be separate performance obligations. The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate revenues by reportable segment: Government Services For most of government services, the customer contracts with us to provide support solutions to defense, space, aviation and other programs and missions through long-term service contracts. The performance obligations related to these long-term service contracts are primarily created through the issuance of task orders by the customer because a service contract generally does not meet the criteria to be considered a contract under ASC 606 since it does not obligate the customer to issue any task orders and could be canceled without substantive penalty under termination for convenience clauses. Accordingly, each task order releases us to perform specific portions of the overall scope in the service contract and is typically accounted for as a separate contract because the task order establishes the enforceable rights and obligations and payment terms. Task orders can include option periods that may be approved by the customer at a later date depending on the customer's future needs and budget availability. Many of our government services contracts include variable consideration consisting of base fees (a profit percentage applied to our target cost) or award fees (additional consideration based on performance criteria, subject to final customer approval). Variable consideration can also arise from modifications to the scope of services resulting in unapproved change orders or customer claims. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Many of our government services contracts are for labor at agreed hourly rates on a cost reimbursable basis to the customer. These contracts are accounted for as a series of distinct services because (a) the labor is provided as a continuous service, (b) each time increment of labor provided is distinct, (c) the nature of the services provided is substantially the same, and (d) the pattern of transfer is the same. In these types of contracts, the entire amount of consideration is recognized as labor is provided. We also enter into base operations support contracts to provide the resources to operate bases, installations, camps, and stations of military departments. Our base operations support contracts are either fixed price contracts or cost reimbursable contracts. For fixed price contracts, we bill the customer a fixed monthly fee and recognize revenue over time on a straight-line basis where our level of effort remains substantially the same from month to month or where that is not the case, using a cost-to-cost input measure of progress as services are provided. For cost reimbursable contracts, we bill the customer all direct costs incurred each month plus an agreed provisional rate for overhead and fee, which are finalized at a later date. Revenue for cost reimbursable contracts is recognized as the direct costs are incurred and billed because the base operations represent a series of distinct services and the direct costs are consistent with our level of effort each month. For the purpose of revenue recognition of the variable elements of the contracts, we apply the variable consideration considerations described above. Revenue on our other types of government services contracts is primarily recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on the contracts. Contract costs include actual direct project costs incurred and an allocation of our indirect costs. Under the typical payment terms of our government services contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Hydrocarbons Services For most of our hydrocarbons services projects, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability and are therefore accounted for as single performance obligations. It is common for our hydrocarbons services contracts to contain incentive fees, performance bonuses, penalties (liquidated damages) or other provisions, including claims and change orders that may either increase or decrease the transaction price. Incentives and other performance bonuses generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets. Liquidated damage penalties in our contracts are generally capped at a percentage of the total contract value. Liquidated damages may be related to schedule delays, typically calculated based on a daily rate, or tied to performance guarantees. Substantially all of our performance obligations related to hydrocarbons services contracts are satisfied over time as work progresses due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of goods and services to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Indirect costs, included in cost of revenues, include charges for such items as facilities, engineering, project management, quality control, bids and proposals and procurement. Under the typical payment terms of our hydrocarbons services contracts, the customer makes advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses. The advance payment generally is not considered a significant financing component as we normally expect to recognize the advance payments in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation. Technology Our technology contracts consist primarily of licensing, basic engineering design (together, the "LBED"), proprietary equipment ("PEQ") or catalyst contracts. LBED contracts are combined into one performance obligation as they are entered into at the same time and the licensed technology requires engineering and design. We may further combine LBED and PEQ contracts into one performance obligation if the contracts were negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, and the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating these distinct goods and services into a single project or capability. It is common for our technology contracts to contain variable consideration including contingent milestone payments and penalties (liquidated damages) that may increase or decrease the transaction price. Contingent milestone payments are primarily related to decisions made by the customer after the LBED has been completed, such as a go or no-go decision on the project. Liquidated damage penalties in our technology contracts are typically triggered by late delivery and are calculated based on a weekly rate and are capped at a percentage of the total contract value. Substantially all of our performance obligations related to technology contracts are satisfied over time as work progresses. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and are recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. Under the typical payment terms of our technology contracts, the customer makes advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses and certain progress milestones are met. The advance payment generally is not considered a significant financing component as we normally expect to recognize the advance payments in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation. Contract Estimates Contract Modifications Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract-related estimates regularly through a Company-wide disciplined project review process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations and the estimate at completion (EAC). As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost and availability of materials, the performance of subcontractors, and the availability and timing of funding from the customer, among other variables. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. We account for contract modifications as a separate contract when the modification results in the promise to deliver additional goods or services that are distinct and the increase in price of the contract is for the same amount as the stand-alone selling price of the additional goods or services included in the modification. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. Any variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We allocate variable consideration entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct good or service within a performance obligation if it relates specifically to our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service, and the allocation represents the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled. Claims Against Vendors and Subcontractors We include claims to vendors, subcontractors and others as a receivable and a reduction in recognized costs when enforceability of the claim is established by the contract and the amounts are reasonably estimable and probable of being recovered. Reductions in costs are recognized to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or to costs incurred. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded based on contracted prices when we obtain an unconditional right to payment under the terms of our contracts. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the assessment of our clients' willingness and ability to pay. In addition to such allowances, there are often items in dispute or being negotiated that may require us to make an estimate as to the ultimate outcome. Past due receivable balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amounts due. Contract assets and liabilities Billing practices are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon costs incurred, achievement of milestones or pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not unconditional. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Retainage, included in contract assets, represents the amounts withheld from billings by our clients pursuant to provisions in the contracts and may not be paid to us until the completion of specific tasks or the completion of the project and, in some instances, for even longer periods. Retainage may also be subject to restrictive conditions such as performance guarantees. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify contract liabilities as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The noncurrent portion of contract liabilities is included in "Other liabilities" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Acquisition and integration related costs

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Business Segment Information We are organized into three core business segments and two non-core business segments. Our three core business segments focus on our core strengths in technical services relating to government services, technology, and hydrocarbons services. Our two non-core business segments are our Non-strategic Business segment, which includes businesses we intend to exit upon completion of existing contracts because they are no longer a part of our future strategic focus, and "Other," which includes our corporate expenses and general and administrative expenses not allocated to the other business segments. Our business segments are described below: Government Services. Our GS business segment provides full life-cycle support solutions to defense, space, aviation and other programs and missions for military and other government agencies in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. As program management integrator, KBR covers the full spectrum of defense, space, aviation and other government programs and missions from research and development; through systems engineering, test and evaluation, systems integration and program management; to operations support, maintenance and field logistics. Our recent acquisitions, as described in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, have been combined with our existing U.S. operations within this business segment and operate under the single "KBRwyle" brand. Technology. Our Technology business segment combines KBR's proprietary technologies, equipment and catalyst supply and associated knowledge-based services into a global business for refining, petrochemicals, inorganic and specialty chemicals as well as gasification, syngas, ammonia, nitric acid and fertilizers. From early planning through scope definition, advanced technologies and project lifecycle support, KBR's Technology segment works closely with customers to provide the optimal approach to maximize their return on investment. Hydrocarbons Services. Our HS business segment provides comprehensive project and program delivery capability globally. Our key capabilities leverage our operational and technical excellence as a global provider of EPC for onshore oil and gas; LNG/GTL; oil refining; petrochemicals; chemicals; fertilizers; offshore oil and gas (shallow-water, deep-water and subsea); floating solutions (FPUs, FPSO, FLNG & FSRU); maintenance services (via the “Brown & Root Industrial Services” brand); and consulting services provided under our three specialist consulting brands, Granherne, Energo and GVA. Non-strategic Business. Our Non-strategic Business segment represents the operations or activities that we intend to exit upon completion of existing contracts. All Non-Strategic Business projects are substantially complete. We continue to finalize project close-out activities and negotiate the settlement of claims and various other matters associated with these projects. Other. Our Other business segment includes corporate expenses and general and administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments above. The following table presents revenues, gross profit (loss), equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and integration related costs, gain on disposition of assets, gain of consolidation of Aspire entities, and operating income (loss) by reporting segment. The prior year balances have been recast to reflect the change in segments as described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

These include, but are not limited to, the availability and costs of resources (such as labor, materials and equipment), productivity and weather, and for unit rate and construction service contracts, the availability and detail of customer supplied engineering drawings. With a portfolio of more than one thousand contracts, we sometimes realize both lower and higher than expected margins on projects in any given period. We recognize revisions of revenues and costs in the period in which the revisions are known. This may result in the recognition of costs before the recognition of related revenue recovery, if any. Changes in project-related estimates by business segment that significantly impacted operating income were as follows: Hydrocarbons Services We recognized changes to equity in earnings as a result of various changes to estimates on the Ichthys LNG project during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 . See Note 10 for a discussion of the matters impacting this project during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . In the second quarter of 2018, we recognized a favorable change in estimated revenues and net income associated with variable consideration recognized as a result of successful completion and performance testing of a major Hydrocarbons Services project. The PEMEX and PEP arbitration settlement (see Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements) resulted in additional revenues and gross profit of $35 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017

On September 30, 2018 , we had $10.1 billion of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 30% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue within one year , 24% in years two through five , and 46% thereafter. Revenue associated with our remaining performance obligations to be recognized beyond one year includes performance obligations related to Aspire Defence and Fasttrax projects, which have contract terms extending through 2041 and 2023, respectively. The balance of remaining performance obligations does not include variable consideration that was determined to be constrained as of September 30, 2018

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions	Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies Acquisition On April 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies ("SGT"). SGT is a leading provider of high-value engineering, mission operations, scientific and IT software solutions in the government services market. We accounted for this transaction using the acquisition method under ASC 805, Business Combinations . The acquisition is reported within our GS business segment. Aggregate base consideration for the acquisition was $355 million , plus $13 million of working capital and other purchase price adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement. We initially recognized goodwill of $257 million arising from the acquisition, which primarily relates to future growth opportunities based on an expanded service offering and other expected synergies from the combined operations. Approximately $237 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets recognized were comprised of customer relationships and backlog. These intangibles will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 19 years. During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized an adjustment to reflect the final working capital settlement, which increased other current assets and decreased the fair value of consideration transferred by $3 million . We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our new Senior Credit Facility that were entered into concurrently with the acquisition. See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to our new Senior Secured Credit Facility. We recognized direct, incremental costs related to this acquisition of $1 million and $4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, which are included in "Acquisition and integration related costs" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for this acquisition and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Dollars in millions SGT Fair value of total consideration transferred $ 365 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash and equivalents 11 Accounts receivable 52 Contract assets 21 Other current assets 2 Total current assets 86 Property, plant and equipment, net 2 Equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates 2 Intangible assets 74 Deferred income taxes 6 Other assets 8 Total assets 178 Accounts payable 27 Contract liabilities 6 Accrued salaries, wages and benefits 28 Other current liabilities 5 Total current liabilities 66 Employee compensation and benefits 2 Other liabilities 2 Total liabilities 70 Goodwill $ 257 The acquired SGT business contributed $126 million and $216 million of revenues and $12 million and $19 million of gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, within our GS business segment. Aspire Defence Subcontracting Joint Ventures On January 15, 2018, Carillion plc ("Carillion"), our U.K. partner in the joint ventures that provide the construction and related support services to Aspire Defence Limited, entered into compulsory liquidation. Carillion no longer performs any of the services for the project, as we have stepped in to deliver both construction and support services without disruption. In accordance with the commercial arrangements of the project company and its lenders, Carillion was excluded from future business and benefit from its interest in the project and we have assumed operational management and control of the subcontracting joint ventures. During the first quarter of 2018, we evaluated our rights and obligations under the joint venture agreements and other commercial arrangements of the project company and its lenders. We concluded Carillion's liquidation was a reconsideration event for KBR to reevaluate the primary beneficiary of the subcontracting joint ventures in which we were partners. We concluded KBR is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct activities having the most significant impact on the economic performance of the subcontracting joint ventures. Consequently, KBR began consolidating these entities in its financial statements effective January 15, 2018. Prior to obtaining control of these entities, we accounted for our 50% investment in each of the subcontracting joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The balance of our net equity investments in these entities was approximately $5 million as of January 15, 2018. As a result of obtaining control of the subcontracting joint ventures, we accounted for these transactions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805. Consequently, we remeasured our equity interests in each of the subcontracting joint ventures to fair value, which resulted in a gain of approximately $113 million included in "Gain on consolidation of Aspire entities" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of each of the subcontracting joint ventures was determined using a discounted cash flow model with future cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenue and expenses over the remaining life of the subcontract agreements. To arrive at our future cash flows, we used estimates of economic and market assumptions, including growth rates in revenues, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, tax rates and cash expenditures. The estimated cash flows were discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflected current market conditions and the risk profile for each of the subcontracting joint ventures. We recognized goodwill of approximately $44 million , which was primarily related to the deferred tax liabilities associated with the contract-related intangible assets acquired in the transaction. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The contract-related intangible assets have estimated useful lives ranging 4 to 23 years . During the third quarter of 2018, we made immaterial adjustments and reclassifications to the previously reported assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon obtaining control of the subcontracting joint ventures including an increase to accounts receivable of $10 million and decrease to intangible assets of approximately $9 million . Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available and primarily relates to the final tax returns that provide the underlying tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date we obtained control of the subcontracting joint ventures. Dollars in millions Aspire Fair value of Aspire Defence subcontracting entities $ 240 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash and equivalents 197 Accounts receivable 14 Other current assets 12 Total current assets 223 Property, plant and equipment, net 9 Intangible assets 244 Total assets 476 Accounts payable 53 Contract liabilities 161 Accrued salaries, wages and benefits 1 Other current liabilities 21 Total current liabilities 236 Deferred income taxes 42 Other liabilities 2 Total liabilities 280 Goodwill $ 44 Noncontrolling interests $ 120 On April 18, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Carillion's interests in the subcontracting entities for $50 million pursuant to a share and business purchase agreement and approval by Aspire Defence Limited, the Aspire Defence Limited project lenders and the MoD. We accounted for the change in KBR's interest as an equity transaction. The difference between the noncontrolling interests of $124 million in the subcontracting entities at the date of acquisition and the cash consideration paid to Carillion was recognized as a net increase to "PIC" of $74 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. We incurred $0 million and $1 million of acquisition-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , which were recorded in "Acquisition and integration related costs" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the subcontracting entities have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to assuming control on January 15, 2018. The acquired subcontracting joint ventures contributed $138 million and $387 million of revenues and $14 million and $42 million of gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, within our GS business segment. The following supplemental pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations assume that SGT and the Aspire Defence subcontracting joint ventures had been acquired as of January 1, 2017. The supplemental pro forma information was prepared based on the historical financial information of SGT and the Aspire Defence subcontracting joint ventures and has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma adjustments that are both directly attributable to the transaction and factually supportable. Pro forma adjustments were primarily related to the amortization of intangibles, interest on borrowings related to the acquisitions, and the reclassification of the gain on consolidation of the Aspire entities to January 1, 2017. Accordingly, this supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been had the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2017, nor is it indication of future results of operations.

Sigma Bravo provides information management, technical support and training services as well as operational support to the Australian Defence Force. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $9 million . We recognized goodwill of $1 million arising from the acquisition, which relates primarily to customer relationships and future growth opportunities to expand services provided to the Australian Defence Force. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The final settlement of the working capital adjustment occurred in the second quarter of 2018 and did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a deferred tax liability and corresponding increase to goodwill of approximately $2 million associated with the acquired intangible assets. Subsequent Event On October 11, 2018 we sold our interest in our EPIC joint venture for approximately $24 million . As of September 30, 2018, our balance in "Equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates" associated with this joint venture was approximately $24 million

Cash and Equivalents	Cash and Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and equivalents include cash balances held by our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate. Joint venture and the Aspire project cash balances are limited to specific project activities and are not available for other projects, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective entities. We expect to use this cash for project costs and distributions of earnings. However, some of the earnings distributions may be paid to other KBR entities where the cash can be used for general corporate needs.

Claims and Accounts Receivable	Claims and Accounts Receivable Our claims and accounts receivable balance not expected to be collected within the next 12 months was $96 million and $101 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Claims and accounts receivable primarily reflects claims filed with the U.S. government related to payments not yet received for costs incurred under various U.S. government cost reimbursable contracts within our GS business segment. These claims relate to disputed costs or contracts where our costs have exceeded the U.S. government's funded value on the task order. Included in the amount is $73 million as of September 30, 2018 and $79 million as of December 31, 2017 , respectively, related to Form 1s issued by the U.S. government questioning or objecting to costs billed to them. See Note 15 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The amount also includes $23 million and $22 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Unapproved Change Orders, Claims and Estimated Recoveries of Claims Against Suppliers and Subcontractors	Unapproved Change Orders, Claims, and Estimated Recoveries of Claims Against Suppliers and Subcontractors The amounts of unapproved change orders, claims and estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors included in determining the profit or loss on contracts are as follows: Dollars in millions 2018 2017 Amounts included in project estimates-at-completion at January 1, $ 924 $ 294 Increase (decrease), including foreign currency effect 39 483 Approved change orders (4 ) (4 ) Amounts included in project estimates-at-completion at September 30, $ 959 $ 773 Amounts recognized over time based on progress at September 30, $ 922 $ 687 As of September 30, 2018 , the predominant component of the change orders, customer claims and estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors above relates to our proportionate share of unapproved change orders and claims associated with the Ichthys LNG Project discussed below. KBR intends to vigorously pursue approval and collection of amounts still due under all unapproved change orders and claims, as well as resolution of contingencies within reserved amounts with subcontractors and clients. Further, there are additional claims that KBR believes it is entitled to recover from its clients and from subcontractors which have been excluded from estimated revenues and profits at completion as appropriate under U.S. GAAP. These commercial matters may not be resolved in the near term. Our current estimates for the above unapproved change orders, customer claims and estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors may prove inaccurate and could result in significant changes to the estimated revenues, costs and profits at completion on the underlying projects. Ichthys LNG Project Project Status We have a 30% ownership interest in the JKC joint venture ("JKC"), which has contracted to perform the engineering, procurement, supply, construction and commissioning of onshore LNG facilities for a client in Darwin, Australia (the "Ichthys LNG Project"). The contract between JKC and its client is a hybrid contract containing both cost-reimbursable and fixed-price (including unit-rate) scopes. The Ichthys LNG Project is substantially complete on a cost-to-cost basis. All of the components of the plant, except for the combined cycle power plant ("Power Plant"), have been completed and handed over to the client. The Power Plant includes five gas turbine generators which are complete and handed over to the client, and three steam turbine generators (the "STGs") which are currently forecasted to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2019. At the current level of progress, which includes portions of the power plant already completed, the plant is capable of LNG production. Unapproved Change Orders and Claims JKC has entered into commercial contracts with multiple suppliers and subcontractors to execute various scopes of work on the project. Certain of these suppliers and subcontractors have made contract claims against JKC for recovery of costs and extensions of time in order to progress the works under the scope of their respective contracts due to a variety of issues related to changes to the scope of work, delays and lower than planned subcontractor productivity. In addition, JKC has incurred costs related to scope increases and other factors, and has made claims to its client for matters for which JKC believes reimbursement is entitled under the contract. JKC believes any amounts paid or payable to the suppliers and subcontractors in settlement of their contract claims related to cost-reimbursable scope are an adjustment to the contract price, and accordingly JKC has made claims for contract price adjustments under the reimbursable portion of the contract between JKC and its client. However, the client disputed some of these contract price adjustments and subsequently withheld certain payments. In order to facilitate the continuation of work under the contract while we worked to resolve this dispute, the client agreed to a contractual mechanism (“Funding Deed”) in 2016 providing funding in the form of an interim contract price adjustment to JKC and consented to settlement of subcontractor claims as of that date related to the cost-reimbursable scope. While the client reserved its rights under this funding mechanism, settlement funds (or interim contract price adjustment) have been paid by the client. JKC in turn settled these subcontractor claims which have been funded through the Funding Deed by the client. If JKC's claims against its client which were funded under the Funding Deed remain unresolved by December 31, 2020, JKC will be required to refund sums funded by the client under the terms of the Funding Deed. We, along with our joint venture partners, are jointly and severally liable to the client for any amounts required to be refunded. While JKC continued to pursue settlement of these disputes with the client, JKC initiated arbitration proceedings in 2017 and is planning other arbitrations against the client to resolve open claims. Our proportionate share of the total amount of the contract price adjustments under the Funding Deed included in the unapproved change orders and claims related to our unconsolidated affiliates discussed above is $163 million and $177 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The difference in these values is strictly due to exchange rate fluctuations. In September and October 2017, additional settlements pertaining to suppliers and subcontractors under the cost reimbursable portion of the contract were presented to the client. The client consented to these settlements and paid for them but reserved its rights. In reliance, JKC in turn settled these claims with the associated suppliers and subcontractors. The formal contract price adjustments for these settlements remained pending at September 30, 2018 , but unlike amounts funded under the Funding Deed, there is no requirement to refund these amounts to the client by a date certain. In October 2018, JKC received a favorable ruling from an arbitration tribunal. The ruling determined a contract interpretation in JKC's favour, to the effect that delay and disruption costs payable to subcontractors under the cost-reimbursable scope of the EPC contract are for the client's account. JKC contends this ruling resolves the reimbursability of the subcontractor settlement sums under the Funding Deed and additional settlements made in September and October 2017. Pursuant to this decision, JKC is undertaking steps for a formal contract adjustment to the reimbursable portion of the contract for these settlement claims of which $332 million are included in the recognized unapproved change orders as of September 30, 2018. There has been deterioration of paint on certain exterior areas of the plant. The client has requested, and has funded, paint remediation for a portion of the facilities. The client has requested a remediation plan for the remainder of the facilities, but JKC and its client have not resolved who is responsible for the paint defects and the manner in which it is to be remediated. JKC’s profit estimate at completion includes those revenues and costs for remediation activities that it has been directed to perform and are being funded by the client. JKC has also started proceedings against the paint manufacturer and made demands on insurance related to these issues. As discussed above, the additional costs associated with these various claims and related issues have been included in determining estimated profit at completion. Estimated recoveries associated with the additional change orders, customer claims, and claims against suppliers and subcontractors have also been included in determining estimated profit at completion. Our current estimates for the above unapproved change orders and customer claims may prove inaccurate and could result in significant changes to the estimated revenue, costs and profits at completion on the underlying projects. Other Matters JKC is entitled to an amount of profit and overhead (“TRC Fee”) which is a fixed percentage of the target reimbursable costs ("TRC") under the reimbursable component of the contract which was to be agreed by JKC and its client. At the time of the contract, JKC and its client agreed to postpone the fixing of the TRC until after a specific milestone in the project had been achieved. Although the milestone was achieved, JKC and its client have been unable to reach agreement on the TRC. This matter was taken to arbitration in 2017. A decision was issued in December 2017 which provided some further basis for determination of the TRC amount and the TRC Fee. JKC has included an estimate for the TRC Fee in its determination of profit at completion at December 31, 2017 based on the contract provisions and the decision from the December 2017 arbitration and terms of the EPC contract with the client. JKC has submitted the revised estimate of the TRC Fee to the client. The parties have not agreed the revised estimate. If the above matters are not resolved with the client for the amounts recorded, or to the extent JKC is unsuccessful in retaining amounts paid to it under the Funding Deed and other funding mechanisms used by the client, we would be responsible for our pro-rata portion of any additional costs and refunded sums in excess of the final adjusted contract price, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, to the extent the client does not provide adequate and proper funding for project activities prior to resolution of these matters, the joint venture partners will be required to fund working capital requirements of JKC in the near term which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and cash flows. Combined Cycle Power Plant Pursuant to JKC's fixed-price scope of its contract with its client, JKC awarded a fixed-price EPC contract to a subcontractor for the design, construction and commissioning of a combined cycle power plant. The subcontractor was a consortium consisting of General Electric and GE Electrical International Inc. and a joint venture between UGL Infrastructure Pty Limited and CH2M Hill (collectively, the "Consortium"). On January 25, 2017, JKC received a Notice of Termination from the Consortium, and the Consortium ceased work on the Power Plant and abandoned the construction site. JKC believes the Consortium materially breached its subcontract and repudiated its obligation to complete the Power Plant, plus undertook actions making it more difficult and more costly for the works to be completed by others after the Consortium abandoned the site. Subsequently, the Consortium filed a request for arbitration with the ICC asserting that JKC repudiated the contract. The Consortium also sought an order that the Consortium validly terminated the subcontract. JKC has responded to this request, denying JKC committed any breach of its subcontract with the Consortium and restated its claim that the Consortium breached and repudiated its subcontract with JKC and is furthermore liable to JKC for all costs to complete the Power Plant. JKC prevailed in a legal action against the Consortium requiring the return of materials, drawings and tools following their unauthorized removal from the site. JKC discovered incomplete and defective engineering designs, defective workmanship on the site, missing, underreported and defective materials; and the improper termination of key vendors/suppliers. JKC's investigations also indicate that progress of the work claimed by the Consortium was over-reported. JKC has evaluated the cost to complete the Consortium's work, which significantly exceeds the awarded fixed-price subcontract value. JKC's cost to complete the Power Plant includes re-design efforts, additional materials and significant re-work. These costs represent estimated recoveries of claims against the Consortium and have been included in JKC's estimate to complete the Consortium's remaining obligations. JKC is pursuing recourse against the Consortium to recover all of the costs to complete the Power Plant, plus the additional interest, and/or general damages by all means inclusive of calling bank guarantees provided by the Consortium partners. In April 2018, JKC prevailed in its legal action to call the bank guarantees (bonds) and subsequently called the bonds of two of the Consortium members, receiving funds totaling $52 million . Each of the Consortium partners has joint and several liability with respect to all obligations under the subcontract. JKC intends to pursue recovery of all additional amounts due from the Consortium via various legal remedies available to JKC. Estimated costs to complete the Power Plant that have been determined to be probable of recovery from the Consortium under U.S. GAAP have been included as a reduction of cost in our estimate of profit at completion. The estimated recoveries exclude interest, liquidated damages and other related costs which JKC intends to pursue recovery from the Consortium. As of September 30, 2018 , JKC estimated claims against the Consortium were approximately $1.9 billion for recovery of these expected costs. The arbitration is likely to be set for hearing in the first half of 2020. JKC has also recently initiated suits against the parent companies of the Consortium members based on their payment and performance guarantees. To the extent JKC is unsuccessful in prevailing in the Arbitration or the Consortium members are unable to satisfy their financial obligations in the event of a decision favorable to JKC, we would be responsible for our pro-rata portion of unrecovered costs from the Consortium. This could have a material adverse impact on the profit at completion of the overall contract and thus on our consolidated statements of operations, financial position and cash flow. Additionally, to the extent JKC does not resolve this matter with the Consortium in the near term, the joint venture partners have been and will continue to be required to fund JKC's completion of the combined cycle power plant which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and cash flows. Further, if our partners in JKC do not fulfill their obligations under the subcontract, we could be exposed to the full amount of those funding requirements and potential losses as a result of the nature of the JKC JV agreement. Ichthys Project Funding JKC has recorded significant unapproved change orders and claims with the client as well as estimated recoveries of claims against suppliers and subcontractors arising from issues related to changes to the work scope, delays and lower than planned subcontractor activity discussed above. As a result of the ongoing disputes with the client and pursuit of recoveries against the Consortium through arbitration, additional contributions from the JKC joint venture partners are required to fund the project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we made investment contribution to JKC of approximately $257 million to fund our proportionate share of the ongoing project execution activities. Our estimate of additional investment contributions increased by $100 million to approximately $250 million to complete the project, excluding future recoveries of claims and unapproved change orders. Liquidated damages Some of our hydrocarbons services contracts have schedule dates and performance obligations that, if not met, could subject us to penalties for liquidated damages. These generally relate to specified activities that must be completed by a set contractual date or by achievement of a specified level of output or throughput. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in some instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to do so is used in negotiating or settling claims and closing out the contract. Any accrued liquidated damages are recognized as a reduction in revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the accrued liquidated damages, it is possible that liquidated damages that have not been included in our estimates at completion in determining project income related to several projects totaling $9 million and $9 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities	Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures, which operate through partnership, corporation, undivided interest and other business forms and are principally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the majority of our joint ventures are VIEs. The following table presents a rollforward of our equity in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates: September 30, December 31, Dollars in millions 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 387 $ 369 Cumulative effect of change in accounting policy (a) 87 — Adjusted balance at January 1, 2018 474 369 Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 54 72 Distribution of earnings of unconsolidated affiliates (b) (16 ) (62 ) Advances (receipts) (7 ) (11 ) Investments (c) 257 — Foreign currency translation adjustments (19 ) 12 Other (19 ) 5 Balance before reclassification $ 724 $ 385 Reclassification of excess distributions (b) — 11 Recognition of excess distributions (b) — (9 ) Ending balance $ 724 $ 387 (a) As further discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, deferred construction income in the amount of $87 million previously recorded in "Equity in and advance to unconsolidated affiliates" was reversed and included in the cumulative effect adjustment as a result of the early adoption of ASC 606 by the Aspire Defence project joint ventures. (b) From 2014 through 2017, we received cash dividends in excess of the carrying value of one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We have no obligation to return any portion of the cash dividends received. We recorded excess dividends as "Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized these dividends as earnings are generated by the investment. As further discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the adoption of ASC Topic 606 by this unconsolidated joint venture resulted in the reversal of the "Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates" balance of $101 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 in the cumulative effect adjustment of the change in accounting policy. (c) In 2018, investments included a $257 million investment to fund JKC. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities For the VIEs in which we participate, our maximum exposure to loss consists of our equity investment in the VIE and any amounts owed to us for services we may have provided to the VIE, reduced by any unearned revenues on the project. Our maximum exposure to loss may also include our obligation to fund our proportionate share of any future losses incurred. As of September 30, 2018 , we do not project any losses related to these joint venture projects. Where our performance and financial obligations are joint and several to the client with our joint venture partners, we may be further exposed to losses above our ownership interest in the joint venture. The following summarizes the total assets and total liabilities as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to our unconsolidated VIEs in which we have a significant variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary. Amount disclosed as Aspire Defence entities for 2017 reflect both contracting and subcontracting entities related to the Aspire Defence project.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , our revenues included $145 million and $85 million , respectively, related to the services we provided to our joint ventures, primarily the Ichthys JV within our HS business segment. Under the terms of an alliance agreement with our EPIC joint venture, EPIC provides certain pipe fabrication services to KBR. EPIC provided no services to KBR under the agreement in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $3 million of services to KBR under the agreement in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Under the terms of our TSA with Brown & Root Industrial Services joint venture, we collect cash from customers and make payments to vendors and employees on behalf of the joint venture. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , we incurred approximately $2 million and $4 million , respectively, of reimbursable costs under the TSA. Amounts included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to services we provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows: September 30, December 31, Dollars in millions 2018 2017 Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts (a) $ 23 $ 28 Contract assets (b) $ 2 $ 2 Contract liabilities (b) $ 35 $ 27 Accounts payable $ 1 $ — (a) Includes a $3 million and $4 million net receivable from the Brown & Root Industrial Services joint venture at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.

The new senior secured credit facility ("Senior Credit Facility") consists of a $500 million revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), a $500 million performance letter of credit facility ("PLOC"), a $350 million Delayed Draw Term Loan A, ("Term Loan A") and an $800 million Term Loan B ("Term Loan B"). The Revolver, PLOC and Term Loan A mature in April 2023 and the Term Loan B matures in April 2025. The Term Loan A may be drawn upon until the earlier of becoming fully drawn or June 30, 2019 (the "Availability Period"). Borrowings under the Term Loan A may only be used to fund investments in JKC. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion on JKC. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B is LIBOR plus 3.75% . The interest rates with respect to the Revolver and Term Loan A are based on, at the Company's option, adjusted LIBOR plus an additional margin or base rate plus additional margin. The Senior Credit Facility provides for fees on letters of credit issued under the PLOC at varying rates, as shown below. Additionally, there is a commitment fee with respect to the Revolver, PLOC and Term Loan A. The details of the applicable margins and commitment fees are based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio as follows: Revolver and Term Loan A Consolidated Leverage Ratio LIBOR Margin Base Rate Margin Performance Letter of Credit Fee Commitment Fee Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 3.25 % 2.25 % 1.95 % 0.450 % Less than 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 3.00 % 2.00 % 1.80 % 0.400 % Less than 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 2.75 % 1.75 % 1.65 % 0.375 % Less than 2.00 to 1.00 2.50 % 1.50 % 1.50 % 0.350 % The Term Loan A provides for quarterly principal payments of 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019. The Term Loan B provides for quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amounts commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018. The Senior Credit Facility contains customary restrictive covenants, subject to certain permitted amounts and exceptions, including covenants limiting our ability to incur additional liens and indebtedness, enter into asset sales, repurchase our equity shares and make certain types of investments. The Revolver, PLOC, and Term Loan A contain financial maintenance covenants of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the Senior Credit Facility). Our consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018, may not exceed 4.50 to 1 and reducing gradually during 2019 and 2020 to 3.50 to 1. Our consolidated interest coverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018 and thereafter, may not be less than 3.00 to 1. As of September 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with our financial covenants. Nonrecourse Project Debt Fasttrax Limited, a joint venture in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a concession contract in 2001 with the U.K. MoD to provide a Heavy Equipment Transporter Service to the British Army. Under the terms of the arrangement, Fasttrax Limited operates and maintains 91 HETs for a term of 22 years. The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through two series of bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited and a bridge loan totaling approximately £84.9 million (approximately $120 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction). The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and are not a debt obligation of KBR as they are nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on the notes, the lenders may only look to the assets of Fasttrax Limited for repayment. The bridge loan of approximately £12.2 million (approximately $17 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) was replaced when we and the other joint venture partners funded the joint venture with equity and subordinated notes in 2005. The secured bonds were issued in two classes consisting of Class A 3.5% Index Linked Bonds in the amount of £56 million (approximately $79 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and Class B 5.9% Fixed Rate Bonds in the amount of £16.7 million (approximately $24 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction). Semi-annual payments on both classes of bonds commenced in March 2005 and will continue through maturity in 2021. The subordinated notes payable to each of the partners initially bear interest at 11.25% increasing to 16%

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 is 23% including the discrete tax impact of obtaining control of the Aspire Defence subcontracting joint ventures that was recorded at a lower rate than our estimated annual tax rate for 2018. The effective tax rate was approximately 28% and 22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. The effective tax rate was approximately 24% and 23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were adversely impacted by newly issued interpretations from the IRS related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and their cumulative impact to January 1, 2018. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") making broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In January, April, and August of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued guidance and proposed regulations which provides additional clarification on certain aspects of the Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax ("Transition Tax") calculation. We applied this guidance which impacted certain tax elections, increasing our estimated Transition Tax liability to approximately $227 million which was fully offset by foreign tax credits generated by the deemed repatriation as well as foreign tax credit carryforwards available for use. We anticipate additional IRS guidance relative to Transition Tax and other aspects of the Tax Act to be forthcoming throughout the remainder of 2018. As of September 30, 2018, we have not yet completed our tax accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act and will continue to revise our provisional amounts as additional guidance becomes available. The Company expects to complete our accounting within the prescribed measurement period. Our estimated annual effective rate is subject to change based on the actual jurisdictions where our 2018 earnings are generated and further guidance issued by the IRS. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $145 million and $217 million , respectively. The change in the valuation allowance was a decrease of $4 million and decrease of $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and a decrease of $72 million and decrease of $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The decrease in valuation allowance primarily related to changes in foreign tax credit carryforwards due to the refinement of provisional impacts recorded related to the Transition Tax. The valuation allowance is primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforwards and foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or within the remaining carryforward period. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The provision for uncertain tax positions included in "Other liabilities" and "Deferred income taxes" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $97 million and $184 million , respectively. The reduction in the provision for uncertain tax positions of approximately $8 million

U.S. Government Matters	9 Months Ended

United States Government Contract Work [Abstract]
U.S. Government Matters	U.S. Government Matters We provide services to various U.S. governmental agencies, which include the U.S. DoD, NASA, and the Department of State. We may have disagreements or experience performance issues on our U.S. government contracts. When performance issues arise under any of these contracts, the U.S. government retains the right to pursue various remedies, including challenges to expenditures, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future business with the U.S. government. The negotiation, administration and settlement of our contracts are subject to audit by the DCAA. The DCAA serves in an advisory role to the DCMA, and the DCMA is responsible for the administration of the majority of our contracts. The scope of these audits include, among other things, the validity of direct and indirect incurred costs, provisional approval of annual billing rates, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with the FAR and CAS, compliance with certain unique contract clauses and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. Based on the information received to date, we do not believe the completed or ongoing government audits will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Legacy U.S. Government Matters Between 2002 and 2011, we provided significant support to the U.S. Army and other U.S. government agencies in support of the war in Iraq under the LogCAP III contract. We have been in the process of closeout of the LogCAP III contract since 2011, and we expect the closeout process to continue through at least 2019. As a result of our work under LogCAP III, there are claims and disputes pending between us and the U.S. government which need to be resolved in order to close the contract. The closeout process includes resolving objections raised by the U.S. government through a billing dispute process referred to as Form 1s and MFRs. We continue to work with the U.S. government to resolve these issues and are engaged in efforts to reach mutually acceptable resolution of these outstanding matters. However, for certain of these matters, we have filed claims with the ASBCA or the COFC. We also have matters related to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts. We anticipate billing additional labor, vendor resolution and litigation costs as we resolve the open matters. At this time, we cannot determine the timing or net amounts to be collected or paid to close out these contracts. Form 1s The U.S. government has issued Form 1s questioning or objecting to costs we billed to them under cost reimbursable contracts primarily related to our use of private security and our provision of containerized housing under the LogCAP III contract discussed below. As a consequence of the issuance of the Form 1s, the U.S. government has withheld payment to us on outstanding invoices, pending resolution of these matters. The U.S. government has issued and has outstanding Form 1s questioning $134 million of billed costs as of September 30, 2018 . They had previously paid us $61 million of the questioned costs related to our services on these contracts. The remaining balance of $73 million as of September 30, 2018 is included on our condensed balance sheet in “Claims and accounts receivable". In addition, we have withheld $26 million from our subcontractors at September 30, 2018 related to these questioned costs, which is included in "Other current liabilities" on our condensed balance sheet. While we continue to believe that the amounts we have invoiced the U.S. government are in compliance with our contract terms and that recovery is probable, we also continue to evaluate our ability to recover these amounts as new information becomes known. As is common in the industry, negotiating and resolving these matters is often an involved and lengthy process, which sometimes necessitates the filing of claims or other legal action as discussed above. Concurrent with our continued negotiations with the U.S. government, we await the rulings on the filed claims. We are unable to predict when the rulings will be issued or when the matters will be settled or resolved with the U.S. government. As a result of the Form 1s, and claims discussed above as well as open audits, we have accrued a reserve for unallowable costs of $32 million and $51 million , at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The balance at September 30, 2018 is recorded in "Contract liabilities" and "Other liabilities" in the amounts of $17 million and $15 million , respectively. The balance at December 31, 2017 is recorded in "Contract liabilities" and "Other liabilities" in the amounts of $31 million and $20 million , respectively. Private Security Contractors. Starting in February 2007, we received a series of Form 1s from the DCAA informing us of the U.S. government's intent to deny reimbursement to us under the LogCAP III cost reimbursable contract for amounts related to the use of PSCs by KBR and a subcontractor in connection with its work for KBR providing dining facility services in Iraq between 2003 and 2006. The government challenged $56 million in billings. The government had previously paid $11 million and has withheld payments of $45 million , which as of September 30, 2018 we have recorded as due from the government related to this matter in "Claims and accounts receivable" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. On June 16, 2014, we received a decision from the ASBCA which agreed with KBR's position (i) that the LogCAP III contract did not prohibit the use of PSCs to provide force protection to KBR or subcontractor personnel, (ii) that there was a need for force protection and (iii) that the costs were reasonable. The ASBCA also found that the Army breached its obligation to provide force protection. Accordingly, we believe that we are entitled to reimbursement by the Army for the amounts charged by our subcontractors, even if they incurred costs for PSCs. The Army appealed the decision. On June 12, 2017, we received a second ruling from the ASBCA that we are entitled to recover the withheld costs in the approximate amount of $45 million plus interest related to the use of PSCs. The Army filed a notice of appeal on October 12, 2017 and filed its brief on April 10, 2018. We responded and the Army filed its final brief in June. Oral arguments are expected to occur later this year. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we will incur a loss related to this matter is remote, and therefore we have not accrued any loss provisions related to this matter. Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation The following matters relate to ongoing litigation or federal investigations involving U.S. government contracts. Many of these matters involve allegations of violations of the FCA, which prohibits in general terms fraudulent billings to the U.S. government. Suits brought by private individuals are called "qui tams." We believe the costs of litigation and any damages that may be awarded in the FKTC and Burn Pit matters described below are billable under the LogCAP III. All costs billed under LogCAP III are subject to audit by the DCAA for reasonableness. First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration. In April 2008, FKTC, one of our LogCAP III subcontractors providing housing containers, filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association all its claims under various LogCAP III subcontracts. After complete hearings on all claims, the arbitration panel awarded FKTC $17 million plus interest for claims involving damages on lost or unreturned vehicles. In addition, we determined that we owe FKTC $32 million in connection with other subcontracts. We previously paid FKTC $19 million and have recorded $4 million in "Accounts payable" that will be paid on pay-when-paid terms in the contract. The remaining $26 million owed to FKTC under the contract has not been billed to the government and we will not do so until the related claims and disputes between KBR and the government over the FKTC living container contract are resolved (see KBR Contract Claim on FKTC containers below). This amount has been withheld from our subcontractors as described above and also recorded in "Claims and accounts receivable" on our condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 . At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the amounts we have accrued is remote. Burn Pit litigation. Since November 2008, KBR has been served with more than 60 lawsuits in various states alleging exposure to toxic materials resulting from the operation of burn pits in Iraq or Afghanistan in connection with services provided by KBR under the LogCAP III contract. These suits were consolidated in U.S. Federal District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland. The plaintiffs claimed unspecified damages. On January 13, 2017, KBR filed a renewed motion to dismiss and for summary judgment. On July 19, 2017, the trial court issued its ruling granting KBR’s motions to dismiss on jurisdictional ground and for summary judgment. In lengthy fact findings, the trial court concluded that the military made all the relevant decisions about the use, location and operation of burn pits. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal, which was denied on June 20, 2018 by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The plaintiffs filed an application for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court on September 7, 2018. We are awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court's decision as to whether it will deny the application or request further briefing. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of September 30, 2018, no amounts have been accrued. Howard qui tam. In March 2011, Geoffrey Howard and Zella Hemphill filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois alleging that KBR mischarged the U.S. government $628 million for unnecessary materials and equipment. In October 2014, the DOJ declined to intervene and the case was partially unsealed. Discovery is ongoing in this case and is expected to continue into 2019. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss is remote and, as of September 30, 2018 , no amounts have been accrued. DOJ False Claims Act complaint - Iraq Subcontractor. In January 2014, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois against KBR and two former KBR subcontractors, including FKTC, alleging that three former KBR employees were offered and accepted kickbacks from these subcontractors in exchange for favorable treatment in the award and performance of subcontracts to be awarded during the course of KBR's performance of the LogCAP III contract in Iraq. The complaint alleges that as a result of the kickbacks, KBR submitted invoices with inflated or unjustified subcontract prices, resulting in alleged violations of the FCA and the Anti-Kickback Act. The DOJ's investigation dates back to 2004. We self-reported most of the violations and tendered credits to the U.S. government as appropriate. On May 22, 2014, FKTC filed a motion to dismiss, which the U.S. government opposed. Following the submission of our answer in April 2014, the U.S. government was granted a Motion to Strike certain affirmative defenses in March 2015. We do not believe this limits KBR's ability to fully defend all allegations in this matter. As of September 30, 2018 , we have accrued our best estimate of probable loss related to an unfavorable settlement of this matter in "Other liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the amounts we have accrued is remote. Discovery in the case has been extended to late 2018 and no trial date has been set. Other matters KBR Contract Claim on FKTC containers. KBR previously filed a claim before the ASBCA to recover the costs paid to FKTC to settle its requests for equitable adjustment. The DCMA had disallowed the majority of those costs. Those contract claims were stayed in 2013 at the request of the DOJ so that they could pursue the FCA case referenced above. Those claims were

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Other Commitments and Contingencies	Other Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and regulatory matters related to the Company’s restatement of its 2013 annual financial statements Butorin v. Blount et al , is a May 2014 shareholder derivative complaint pending in the U.S. District Court of Delaware and filed on behalf of the Company naming certain current and former members of the Company's board of directors as defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the named directors breached their fiduciary duties by permitting the Company's internal controls to be inadequate. This case was dismissed on August 31, 2018. We also received requests for information and a subpoena for documents from the SEC in 2014 regarding the restatement of our 2013 annual financial statements. We reached a settlement with the SEC in July 2018, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Other matters Unaoil Investigation. The DOJ, SEC, and the SFO are conducting investigations of Unaoil, a Monaco based company, in relation to international projects involving several global companies, including KBR, whose interactions with Unaoil are a subject of those investigations. KBR believes it is cooperating with the DOJ, SEC, and the SFO in their investigations, including through the voluntary submission of information and responding to formal document requests. In re KBR, Inc. Securities Litigation. On October 20, 2017, lead plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint asserting violations of the federal securities laws in connection with KBR's disclosures associated with the SFO's investigations of KBR and its affiliates relating to Unaoil. The Company and individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on December 4, 2017. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed on February 19, 2018. Defendants' motion to dismiss was granted on August 31, 2018, and this matter is now concluded. Tisnado vs DuPont, et al. In May 2016, KBR was served with a Fourth Amended Petition in Intervention and was brought into a lawsuit which was originally filed on November 14, 2014, in the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. This suit was brought by the family members of persons who died in an incident at the DuPont plant in LaPorte, Texas. We reached a settlement with the plaintiffs in 2018. This settlement was covered by insurance and did not have a material impact to our financial statements. This matter is now resolved. PEMEX and PEP arbitration On April 6, 2017, we entered into a settlement agreement with PEMEX and PEP related to a dispute from 2004. The settlement provided for a cash payment to Commisa of $435 million , payment by PEP of all VAT related to the settlement amount and mutual dismissals and releases of all claims related to the EPC 1 project. This matter is resolved and all amounts were paid by PEP in April 2017. As a result of the final settlement, we recognized additional revenues and gross profit of $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017

The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of common shares and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued without prior notice. The share repurchases are intended to be funded through the Company’s current and future cash and the authorization does not have an expiration date. Withheld to Cover Program In addition to the plans above, we also have in place a "withheld to cover" program, which allows us to withhold common shares from employees in connection with the settlement of income tax and related benefit withholding obligations arising from the issuance of share based equity awards under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income per Share	Income per Share Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculations is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Shares in millions 2018 2017 2018 2017 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 141 140 140 141 Stock options and restricted shares — — 1 — Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 141 140 141 141 For purposes of applying the two-class method in computing income per share, there were $0.4 million and $1.5 million net earnings allocated to participating securities, or a negligible amount per share and $0.01 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. Net earnings allocated to participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.3 million and $1.1 million , respectively, or a negligible amount per share. The diluted income per share calculation did not include 1.4 million and 1.6 million antidilutive weighted average shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. The diluted income per share calculation did not include 1.9 million and 2.2 million antidilutive weighted average shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Financial Instruments and Risk Management Foreign currency risk. We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. We may use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We generally utilize foreign exchange forwards and currency option contracts to hedge exposures associated with forecasted future cash flows and to hedge exposures present on our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2018 , the gross notional value of our foreign currency exchange forwards and option contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures was $54 million , all of which had durations of 9 days or less. We also had approximately $110 million (gross notional value) of cash flow hedges which had durations of approximately 22 months or less. The cash flow hedges are primarily related to the British Pound and Australian Dollar. The Australian Dollar hedges are primarily utilized to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with the forecasted funding of JKC in Australian Dollars. The fair value of our balance sheet and cash flow hedges included in "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was immaterial at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The fair values of these derivatives are considered Level 2 under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as they are based on quoted prices directly observable in active markets. The following table summarizes the recognized changes in fair value of our balance sheet hedges offset by remeasurement of balance sheet positions. These amounts are recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The net of our changes in fair value of hedges and the remeasurement of our assets and liabilities is included in "Other non-operating income (expense)" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On October 10, 2018 we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $500 million to manage the interest rate exposure on our floating rate loans. By entering into swap agreements, the Company converted the LIBOR rate based liability into a fixed rate liability for a four year period. Under the swap agreements, the Company receives one month LIBOR rate and pays monthly a fixed rate of 3.055%

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities. This ASU is intended to improve and simplify accounting rules around hedge accounting. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to be material to our ongoing financial reporting or on known trends, demand, uncertainties and events in our business. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to be material to our ongoing financial reporting or on known trends, demands, uncertainties and events in our business. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecast and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our financial statements. We have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting or the future impact of adoption on known trends, demands, uncertainties and events in our business.

Principles of consolidation	Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of KBR and our wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. We account for investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our equity investments and VIEs. The cost method is used when we do not have the ability to exert significant influence. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Amounts classified as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts" on the consolidated balance sheets of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been reclassified as "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Use of estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by our management include but are not limited to the following: • project revenues, costs and profits on engineering and construction contracts, including recognition of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts • project revenues, award fees, costs and profits on government services contracts • provisions for uncollectible receivables • provisions for client claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, vendors and others • provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances and tax uncertainties • recoverability of goodwill • recoverability of other intangibles and long-lived assets and related estimated lives • recoverability of equity method and cost method investments • valuation of pension obligations and pension assets • accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation accruals • consolidation of VIEs • valuation of share-based compensation • valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognized when and as our performance obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. Contracts are considered to have a single performance obligation if the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, which is mainly because we provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability. Contracts that cover multiple phases of the product lifecycle (development, construction and maintenance & support) are typically considered to have multiple performance obligations even when they are part of a single contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. In cases where we do not provide the distinct good or service on a standalone basis, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. We provide product warranties to customers that are included in the sale and are not priced or sold separately or do not provide customers with a service in addition to assurance of compliance with agreed-upon specifications. We do not consider these types of warranties to be separate performance obligations. The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate revenues by reportable segment: Government Services For most of government services, the customer contracts with us to provide support solutions to defense, space, aviation and other programs and missions through long-term service contracts. The performance obligations related to these long-term service contracts are primarily created through the issuance of task orders by the customer because a service contract generally does not meet the criteria to be considered a contract under ASC 606 since it does not obligate the customer to issue any task orders and could be canceled without substantive penalty under termination for convenience clauses. Accordingly, each task order releases us to perform specific portions of the overall scope in the service contract and is typically accounted for as a separate contract because the task order establishes the enforceable rights and obligations and payment terms. Task orders can include option periods that may be approved by the customer at a later date depending on the customer's future needs and budget availability. Many of our government services contracts include variable consideration consisting of base fees (a profit percentage applied to our target cost) or award fees (additional consideration based on performance criteria, subject to final customer approval). Variable consideration can also arise from modifications to the scope of services resulting in unapproved change orders or customer claims. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Many of our government services contracts are for labor at agreed hourly rates on a cost reimbursable basis to the customer. These contracts are accounted for as a series of distinct services because (a) the labor is provided as a continuous service, (b) each time increment of labor provided is distinct, (c) the nature of the services provided is substantially the same, and (d) the pattern of transfer is the same. In these types of contracts, the entire amount of consideration is recognized as labor is provided. We also enter into base operations support contracts to provide the resources to operate bases, installations, camps, and stations of military departments. Our base operations support contracts are either fixed price contracts or cost reimbursable contracts. For fixed price contracts, we bill the customer a fixed monthly fee and recognize revenue over time on a straight-line basis where our level of effort remains substantially the same from month to month or where that is not the case, using a cost-to-cost input measure of progress as services are provided. For cost reimbursable contracts, we bill the customer all direct costs incurred each month plus an agreed provisional rate for overhead and fee, which are finalized at a later date. Revenue for cost reimbursable contracts is recognized as the direct costs are incurred and billed because the base operations represent a series of distinct services and the direct costs are consistent with our level of effort each month. For the purpose of revenue recognition of the variable elements of the contracts, we apply the variable consideration considerations described above. Revenue on our other types of government services contracts is primarily recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on the contracts. Contract costs include actual direct project costs incurred and an allocation of our indirect costs. Under the typical payment terms of our government services contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Hydrocarbons Services For most of our hydrocarbons services projects, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability and are therefore accounted for as single performance obligations. It is common for our hydrocarbons services contracts to contain incentive fees, performance bonuses, penalties (liquidated damages) or other provisions, including claims and change orders that may either increase or decrease the transaction price. Incentives and other performance bonuses generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets. Liquidated damage penalties in our contracts are generally capped at a percentage of the total contract value. Liquidated damages may be related to schedule delays, typically calculated based on a daily rate, or tied to performance guarantees. Substantially all of our performance obligations related to hydrocarbons services contracts are satisfied over time as work progresses due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of goods and services to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Indirect costs, included in cost of revenues, include charges for such items as facilities, engineering, project management, quality control, bids and proposals and procurement. Under the typical payment terms of our hydrocarbons services contracts, the customer makes advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses. The advance payment generally is not considered a significant financing component as we normally expect to recognize the advance payments in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation. Technology Our technology contracts consist primarily of licensing, basic engineering design (together, the "LBED"), proprietary equipment ("PEQ") or catalyst contracts. LBED contracts are combined into one performance obligation as they are entered into at the same time and the licensed technology requires engineering and design. We may further combine LBED and PEQ contracts into one performance obligation if the contracts were negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, and the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating these distinct goods and services into a single project or capability. It is common for our technology contracts to contain variable consideration including contingent milestone payments and penalties (liquidated damages) that may increase or decrease the transaction price. Contingent milestone payments are primarily related to decisions made by the customer after the LBED has been completed, such as a go or no-go decision on the project. Liquidated damage penalties in our technology contracts are typically triggered by late delivery and are calculated based on a weekly rate and are capped at a percentage of the total contract value. Substantially all of our performance obligations related to technology contracts are satisfied over time as work progresses. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost input measure to measure progress because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and are recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. Under the typical payment terms of our technology contracts, the customer makes advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses and certain progress milestones are met. The advance payment generally is not considered a significant financing component as we normally expect to recognize the advance payments in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation. Contract Estimates Contract Modifications Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract-related estimates regularly through a Company-wide disciplined project review process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations and the estimate at completion (EAC). As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost and availability of materials, the performance of subcontractors, and the availability and timing of funding from the customer, among other variables. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. We account for contract modifications as a separate contract when the modification results in the promise to deliver additional goods or services that are distinct and the increase in price of the contract is for the same amount as the stand-alone selling price of the additional goods or services included in the modification. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. Any variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We allocate variable consideration entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct good or service within a performance obligation if it relates specifically to our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service, and the allocation represents the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled.
Account receivable	Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded based on contracted prices when we obtain an unconditional right to payment under the terms of our contracts.
Contract assets and liabilities	Contract assets and liabilities Billing practices are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon costs incurred, achievement of milestones or pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not unconditional. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Retainage, included in contract assets, represents the amounts withheld from billings by our clients pursuant to provisions in the contracts and may not be paid to us until the completion of specific tasks or the completion of the project and, in some instances, for even longer periods. Retainage may also be subject to restrictive conditions such as performance guarantees.

We have no obligation to return any portion of the cash dividends received. We recorded excess dividends as "Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized these dividends as earnings are generated by the investment. As further discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the adoption of ASC Topic 606 by this unconsolidated joint venture resulted in the reversal of the "Deferred income from unconsolidated affiliates" balance of $101 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 in the cumulative effect adjustment of the change in accounting policy.
