HOUSTON, Texas – KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that third quarter 2012 net income attributable to KBR was $97 million on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to KBR of $93 million on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.
On a GAAP basis, third quarter 2012 net loss attributable to KBR of $81 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $178 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, related to a market assessment of the Minerals Business Unit. Third quarter 2011 net income attributable to KBR of $185 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, includes discrete tax benefits of $92 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, related to an arbitration award in favor of Barracuda & Caratinga Leasing Company B.V. as well as a deferred tax liability release for KBR’s share of an Australian rail investment.
Tables reconciling net income, EPS, and effective tax rates excluding the goodwill impairment charge to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) results are attached to this release. This release and the accompanying tables are available on the investor relations section of KBR’s website at www.kbr.com.
Consolidated revenue in the third quarter 2012 was $2.0 billion compared to $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Operating loss in the third quarter 2012 was $11 million compared to operating income of $138 million in the prior year third quarter.
“The emergence of North American shale gas resources is a net positive development for KBR; however, over the past several quarters we have witnessed a severe reduction in solid fuel materials handling prospects in North America that has triggered KBR writing down goodwill from our 2010 acquisition of Roberts & Schaefer. If we look beyond the goodwill impairment, and despite some headwinds at our U.S. Construction Business Unit and a legacy Roberts & Schaefer project, I am extremely pleased with KBR’s continued strong financial and operating performance this quarter,” said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. “We continue to see significant new project opportunities across all of our Business Units and remain confident in KBR’s ability to continue to execute our projects successfully going forward.”

KBR, Inc.: Backlog Information (a)
(Millions) (Unaudited)
|
(a)
|
Backlog is presented differently depending on whether the contract is consolidated by KBR or is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Backlog related to consolidated projects is presented as 100% of the expected revenue from the project. Backlog generally includes total expected revenue in backlog when a contract is awarded and/or the scope is definitized. Where contract duration is indefinite, projects included in backlog are limited to the estimated amount of expected revenue within the following twelve months. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract being agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where KBR acts solely in a project management capacity, KBR only includes the management fee revenue of each project in backlog. For certain long-term service contracts with a defined contract term, such as those associated with privately financed projects, the amount included in backlog is limited to five years.
|
Backlog related to unconsolidated joint ventures is presented as KBR’s percentage ownership of the joint venture’s estimated revenue. However, because these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only KBR’s share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in revenue. Our backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $5.7 billion, $5.6 billion and $1.7 billion at September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our backlog related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest totaled $2.7 billion, $2.9 billion and $3.4 billion at September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
As of September 30, 2012, 40% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts and 60% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract except for smaller contracts where we characterize the entire contract based on the predominate component.
All backlog is attributable to firm orders as of September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Backlog attributable to unfunded government orders was $0.1 billion, $0.1 billion and $0.4 billion as of September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
