HOUSTON, Texas – KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that first quarter 2013 net income attributable to KBR was $88 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to KBR of $91 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.
Consolidated revenue in the first quarter 2013 was $1.9 billion compared to $2.0 billion in the first quarter of 2012. Operating income in the first quarter 2013 was $133 million compared to operating income of $112 million in the prior year first quarter.
“KBR’s first quarter performance was consistent with our expectations. We delivered $0.59 of EPS on strong project execution across all of KBR’s businesses, including on the five problem projects we discussed in the fourth quarter where no incremental provisions were taken in the first quarter,” said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. “We continue to see strong prospects for growth across our businesses and remain confident in our ability to successfully win and execute new work going forward.”
Business Discussion (All comparisons are first quarter 2013 versus first quarter 2012, unless otherwise noted).

Oil and Gas job income was $25 million, up $2 million, or 9%, primarily related to higher work volumes on the Shah Deniz project, FEED work for an FPSO in Angola and engineering and design work for a semi-submersible unit and a drilling platform. Partially offsetting the increase was the completion or near completion of several projects.
|
|
·
|
Downstream job income was $26 million, up $12 million, or 86%, primarily related to increased profits from an ethylene project in Uzbekistan, a gasifier FEED in Saudi Arabia, and the KBR-AMCDE entity in Saudi Arabia. Partially offsetting the increase was the completion of engineering on a refinery project in Africa.

KBR, Inc.: Backlog Information (a)

(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 $5.5 billion, $5.8 billion and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our backlog related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest totaled $2.3 billion, $2.1 billion and $3.4 billion at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
As of March 31, 2013, 43% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts and 57% 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 March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Backlog attributable to unfunded government orders was $0.3 billion, $0.2 billion and $0.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
