KBR Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
• | Strong earnings of $45 million, with EPS of $0.32; Adjusted EPS of $0.35 |
• | Positive operating cash flow of $28 million |
• | Strong bookings and backlog growth in Government Services |
• | Adjusted EPS Guidance increased to a range of $1.35 to $1.50 (excluding legacy legal costs of $13M) |
 | HOUSTON, Texas - October 31, 2017 - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR), a global provider of differentiated, professional services and technologies across the asset and program life cycle within the government services and hydrocarbons industries today announced third quarter 2017 financial results. | |
Consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was $1.0 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to KBR was $45 million or $0.32 per diluted share ($0.35 per diluted share excluding $4 million in pre-tax U.S. Government legacy legal fees) in the third quarter of 2017 compared to net loss of $(63) million or $(0.44) per diluted share (($0.44) per diluted share excluding pre-tax U.S. Government legacy legal fees of less than $1 million) in the third quarter of 2016.
Revenue in the third quarter decreased slightly from the same period a year ago driven by lower activity on various projects in our Engineering and Construction segment. The revenue decreases were partially offset by the acquisitions and organic growth in our Government Services segment, and continued growth in our Technology and Consulting segment.
Net income attributable to KBR reflects good performance across all segments. Gross profit improved to $87 million from a loss of $(36) million in the prior year quarter. Program performance this quarter was at or above expectations for all segments, whereas the results in the third quarter of 2016 included $126 million in charges on two projects, the majority of which was for an electric power-generating facility within our Non-Strategic Business segment. These projects have been completed. Equity in earnings this quarter improved to $23 million from $19 million in the prior year quarter, driven by growth in our Affinity joint venture in the U.K. within our Government Services segment.
During the quarter, KBR was awarded several key contracts in its Government Services segment totaling more than $1 billion dollars. These awards provide support services to Navy bases in Diego Garcia, Djibouti, Bahrain and also to the US Army in Europe and the Arabian Peninsula. This business segment continues to strengthen and grow its core business area of providing base operations support to the military and coalition forces across the world.
“We are pleased to once again report strong earnings with continued good performance across all business segments. In particular, our Technology & Consulting segment delivered exceptional margins in the quarter,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. “Our strategy to grow our Government Services business continues to be successful, including recently winning over a billion dollars in contracts to provide base operations support services at U.S. Naval bases.”
“As we continue to experience improved and more consistent profit momentum and cash generation, KBR is positioned for strong long-term growth with less risk and increased financial flexibility,” Bradie continued.
Segment Business Results (All comparisons are third quarter 2017 versus third quarter 2016 unless otherwise noted.)
Government Services (GS) Results
GS revenue was $582 million, an increase of $181 million compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of HTSI in the third quarter of 2016, continued expansion of task orders on existing U.S. Government contracts including LogCAP IV and growth on existing program management projects in the U.K.
GS gross profit was $39 million (6.7% of revenues), an increase of $7 million from the third quarter of 2016, due to expansion of task orders on LogCAP IV and profits related to the HTSI acquisition that occurred in the third quarter of 2016. The increases were partially offset by non-recurring gains from the funding of previously expensed legal fees and an insurance reimbursement that occurred in the third quarter of 2016 and did not recur in 2017.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $14 million, an increase of $6 million from the prior year, due to increased activity within our Affinity joint venture in the U.K.
Technology & Consulting (T&C) Results
T&C revenue was $78 million, an increase of $11 million compared to the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to new consulting contracts from upstream projects.
T&C gross profit was $20 million (25.6% of revenues), up $3 million from the third quarter of 2016, due to a favorable technology mix and stronger consulting performance.
Engineering & Construction (E&C) Results
E&C revenue was $370 million, a decrease of $225 million from the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to reduced activity on several projects across the sector. These decreases were partially offset by projects ramping up from new awards in the second half of 2016, including a construction project in Canada.
E&C gross profit was $25 million (6.8% of revenues), an increase of $24 million compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase can be attributed to strong execution and commercial focus in the quarter, coupled with losses on an ammonia project during the third quarter of 2016 that did not recur in 2017. The increase was partially offset by reduced activity on several projects across the sector as mentioned above.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $9 million, a decrease of $2 million from the prior year predominantly due to lower activity on the Ichthys joint venture partially offset by increased earnings on our industrial services joint ventures in the Americas as well as our joint ventures in Europe.
Non-strategic Business (NSB) Results
NSB revenue was $4 million, a decrease of $6 million from the prior year, primarily due to EPC power projects in final close-out phase as we exit this business.
NSB gross profit was $3 million, improved by $89 million compared to the third quarter of 2016, due to non-recurring cost increases and delays on a power project in the third quarter of 2016.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Cash flow from operating activities was $28 million, an increase of $8 million compared to the third quarter of 2016. Cash and equivalents at September 30, 2017 totaled $511 million. As of September 30, 2017, our $1 billion revolving credit agreement had an outstanding balance of $470 million.

KBR backlog remained flat at $10.3 billion as of September 30, 2017 compared to $10.3 billion as of June 30, 2017, with backlog growth of $292 million in the GS business segment offsetting declines primarily from our E&C segment.
Guidance
We are increasing the company’s full year 2017 fully diluted adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $1.35 to $1.50 per share from the previous range of $1.25 to $1.45. Our guidance of earnings per share is on an adjusted EPS basis, which excludes legacy legal costs for U.S. Government contracts. These costs are estimated to be approximately $13 million or $0.09 per fully diluted share in 2017. The estimated legacy legal costs do not assume any cost reimbursement from the U.S. Government that could occur in the future. Our estimated effective tax rate for 2017 is estimated to range from 23% to 25%. Our expected EBITDA has increased to a range of $320 million to $350 million from the previous range of $300 million to $350 million. The operating cash flows are estimated to range from $120 million to $200 million for 2017.

(a) | Backlog generally represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures. We generally include total expected revenues in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding agreement. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive and may fluctuate due to the release of contracted work in phases by the customer. Additionally, nearly all contracts allow customers to terminate the agreement at any time for convenience. Where contract duration is indefinite and clients can terminate for convenience without having to compensate us for periods beyond the date of termination, projects included in backlog are limited to the estimated amount of expected revenues within the following twelve months. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the value of our services on each project in backlog. |
Within our GS business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the U.K. government's privately financed initiatives or projects ("PFIs") based on the aggregate amount that our client would contractually be obligated to pay us over the life of the project. We update our estimates of the future work to be executed under these contracts on a quarterly basis and adjust backlog if necessary.
We have included in the table above our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures’ estimated revenues. Since these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our proportionate share of backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $7.2 billion at September 30, 2017 and $7.4 billion at December 31, 2016. We consolidate joint ventures which are majority-owned and controlled or are variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which we are the primary beneficiary. Our backlog included in the table above for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest includes 100% of the backlog associated with those joint ventures and totaled $130 million at September 30, 2017 and $151 million at December 31, 2016.
We estimate that as of September 30, 2017, 34% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, 61% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and 39% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of September 30, 2017, $112 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.
As of September 30, 2017, 11% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 61% was attributable to PFIs and 28% of our backlog was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract; however, for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component. As of September 30, 2017, $7.6 billion of our GS backlog was currently funded by our customers.
