Accounting measurements at interim 	 dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates 	 than at year-end. The results of operations for the 	 three months ended January 31, 1996 are not necessarily 	 indicative of results that can be expected for the full 	 year. 	 The condensed consolidated financial statements included 	 herein are unaudited; however, they contain all 	 adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 	 which, in the opinion of the company, are necessary to 	 present fairly its consolidated financial position at 	 January 31, 1996 and its consolidated results of 	 operations and cash flows for the three months ended 	 January 31, 1996 and 1995. Certain 1995 amounts have been 	 reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. (2) Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number 	 of common and, when appropriate, common equivalent shares 	 outstanding in each period. Common equivalent shares are 	 included when the effect of the potential exercise of 	 stock options is dilutive. (3) Inventories comprise the following: 	 	 					 January 31, October 31, 	 $ in thousands 1996 1995 	 ----------------------------------------------------------- 	 	 Coal........................... $ 35,010 $ 28,874 	 Supplies and other............. 35,945 34,410 					 ------------------------ 					 $ 70,955 $ 63,284 					 ------------------------ 					 ------------------------ 	 				 -6- (4) Cash paid for interest was $1.2 million and $1.8 million 	 for the three month periods ended January 31, 1996 and 	 1995, respectively. Income tax payments, net of refunds, 	 were $4 million and $15 million during the three month 	 periods ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. (5) Effective November 1, 1995, the company adopted Statement 	 of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for 	 the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" 	 (SFAS No. 121). The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no 	 impact on the company's consolidated results of operations 	 or financial position. 				 -7- 			 FLUOR CORPORATION 		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 	 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the three month period ended January 31, 1996 were $2.4 billion compared with $2.1 billion for the same period of 1995. Net earnings for the three month period ended January 31, 1996 were $57.4 million compared with $50.3 million for the same period of 1995. The increase in net earnings is primarily due to higher earnings from both the Engineering and Construction and Coal segments. ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION Revenues and operating profit for the Engineering and Construction segment increased 18 percent and 14 percent, respectively, for the three month period ended January 31, 1996 compared with the same period of 1995, due to an increase in work performed. Reported margins, which may fluctuate from time to time as a result of changes in the mix of engineering and design services and construction related services, declined slightly in the first quarter of 1996 compared with the same period of 1995. New awards for the three months ended January 31, 1996 were $3.0 billion compared with $2.3 billion for the three months ended January 31, 1995. Approximately 60 percent of first quarter 1996 new awards were for projects located outside the United States. New awards in the Process group for the first quarter of 1996 were $1.7 billion and included a $610 million petroleum project to be constructed in Saudi Arabia and a $465 million award for work to be performed on an existing oil refinery located in Indonesia. The large size and uncertain timing of new awards can create variability in the company's award pattern, consequently, future award trends are difficult to predict with certainty. 				 -8- The following table sets forth backlog for each of the company's Engineering and Construction business groups: 				January 31, October 31, January 31, $ in millions 1996 1995 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Process $ 7,316 $ 6,671 $ 7,568 Industrial 4,061 4,516 3,969 Power/Government 3,157 3,275 2,253 Diversified Services 574 263 326 			 -------------------------------------- Total $ 15,108 $ 14,725 $ 14,116 			 -------------------------------------- 			 -------------------------------------- The increase in the Diversified Services group's backlog at January 31, 1996 compared with October 31, 1995 was due primarily to the award of new facility management services for IBM at six facilities located throughout the Western United States. Approximately 56 percent of backlog at January 31, 1996 relates to projects located outside of the United States compared with 55 percent at October 31, 1995 and 51 percent at January 31, 1995. Backlog is adjusted both upwards and downwards as required to reflect project cancellations, deferrals and revised project scope and cost. COAL Produced coal revenues increased 3 percent for the three month period ended January 31, 1996 compared with the same period of 1995 due primarily to increased metallurgical coal sales. The increase in metallurgical coal revenues is due both to increased prices and higher sales volume as the result of strong demand by steel producers and the capturing of a larger share of the metallurgical coal market. However, both metallurgical and steam coal sales were adversely impacted in the first quarter of 1996 by disruptions at shipping facilities caused by severe weather conditions. Gross margin increased for the three months ended January 31, 1996 compared with the same period of 1995 due primarily to lower coal production costs and higher metallurgical coal sales prices. Operating profit increased 23 percent for the three months ended January 31, 1996 compared with the same period of 1995 due primarily to increased gross margin. 				 -9- OTHER Corporate administrative and general expenses increased $3.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 1996, compared with the same period of 1995 due primarily to higher stock price driven compensation plans expense, partially offset by lower corporate overhead. Net interest income for the three months ended January 31, 1996 was essentially unchanged from the same period of 1995. The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended January 31, 1996 was essentially unchanged from the same period of 1995. The company does not have substantial net assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and, therefore, does not have significant risk to currency fluctuations. Although the Mexican peso has experienced continued volatility in recent months, the company believes that its investment in ICA Fluor Daniel has not been permanently impaired as prospects remain for long-term engineering and construction work in Mexico. Effective November 1, 1995, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 121). The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no impact on the company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans and applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from nonemployees. Adoption of the new accounting standards prescribed by SFAS No. 123 is optional. The company does not expect to adopt the new accounting standards and will continue to account for its plans under previous accounting standards, consequently, SFAS No. 123 will not affect the company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. However, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, beginning in 1997 pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share will be made in the footnotes to the company's financial statements as if the SFAS No. 123 accounting standards had been adopted. 				 -10- In December 1995, the company announced an agreement with Groundwater Technology, Inc. ("GTI") wherein the company will acquire an approximate 55 percent ownership interest in GTI. The acquisition, subject to approval by the shareholders of GTI and other customary closing conditions, will broaden the scope of the company's environmental services activities. FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY The change in operating assets and liabilities from period to period is affected by the mix, stage of completion and commercial terms of engineering and construction projects. The decrease in the first quarter of 1996 compared with the same period of 1995 is primarily due to the timing of cash receipts from project receivables and the payment of current payables and accrued liabilities. For the three months ended January 31, 1996, capital expenditures were $107.9 million including $76.0 million related to coal mine development. Dividends paid in the three months ended January 31, 1996 were $14.2 million ($.17 per share) compared with $12.4 million ($.15 per share) for the same period of 1995. The long-term debt to total capital ratio was less than 1 percent at both January 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995. The company expects to have adequate resources available from cash and short-term investments currently on hand, plus available revolving credit facilities, capital market sources, and its commercial paper program to provide for its financing needs for the foreseeable future. 				 -11- 			 FLUOR CORPORATION 			 CHANGES IN BACKLOG 	 Three Months Ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 			 UNAUDITED $ in millions 1996 1995 --------------------------------------------------------------- Backlog - beginning of period....... $ 14,724.9 $ 14,021.9 New awards.......................... 2,988.5 2,251.9 Adjustments and cancellations, net..
