News Release

 

FLUOR REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

IRVING, TEXAS — November 3, 2016 — Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.  Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor for the third quarter were $5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $176 million, or $1.21 per diluted share a year ago.  Results for the quarter include an after-tax charge of $154 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for estimated cost increases on a petrochemical facility in the United States. Consolidated segment profit for the quarter was $25 million, including the impact of the charge mentioned above, down from $240 million a year ago. Third quarter revenue was $4.8 billion, up from $4.4 billion in the prior year.

 

New awards for the quarter were $7.0 billion, including $5.6 billion in Energy, Chemicals & Mining and $955 million in Government.  Consolidated ending backlog of $44.3 billion compares to $41.7 billion a year ago.

 



 

“We are very disappointed in the construction progress on a fixed-price Gulf Coast project that led to a significant charge this quarter,” said David Seaton, Fluor chairman and chief executive officer. “Looking ahead to 2017, we remain focused on project execution and continuing to capture key prospects as they develop across our businesses.”

 

Corporate G&A expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $27 million, compared to $35 million a year ago.  Fluor’s cash and marketable securities balance at the end of the third quarter was $2.1 billion.

 

Outlook

 

As a result of the charge in Energy, Chemicals & Mining, the Company is revising its 2016 guidance for EPS to a range of $2.20 to $2.40 per diluted share, from the previous range of $3.25 to $3.50 per diluted share.  For 2017, the Company is establishing its initial EPS guidance at a range of $2.75 to $3.25 per diluted share.  Guidance for 2017 assumes continued challenges in our commodity focused segment, offset by increasing opportunities in infrastructure, industrial and government.

 

Business Segments

 

Fluor’s Energy, Chemicals & Mining segment reported a segment loss of $60 million, compared to a segment profit of $208 million a year ago.  Results for the quarter reflect a $241 million pre-tax charge on a petrochemical facility in the United States.  Revenue of $2.3 billion declined from $2.8 billion a year ago primarily due to lower mining activities.  Third quarter new awards of $5.6 billion include an award for the Tengiz Oil Expansion Project in Kazakhstan.

Ending backlog was $23.7 billion compared to $30.1 billion a year ago, and reflects an adjustment for an LNG contract that has been suspended.

 

The Industrial, Infrastructure & Power segment reported segment profit of $28 million, compared to a loss of $29 million in the third quarter of 2015 that was primarily due to cost increases on a power project.  Revenue for the segment increased 89 percent to $1.1 billion from $596 million a year ago.   Results for the quarter reflect increased execution activities on nuclear and gas-fired power projects.  Ending backlog for the segment was $11.5 billion, up from $5.1 billion a year ago.

 

The Government segment reported segment profit of $26 million, compared to $30 million a year ago.  Revenue for the quarter was $681 million, compared to $661 million a year ago.   Third quarter new awards of $955 million include additional funding on the Savannah River project.  Ending backlog was $5.9 billion, up from $3.8 billion a year ago.

 

The Maintenance, Modification & Asset Integrity segment reported segment profit of $29 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $32 million a year ago.   Revenue for the quarter was $632 million compared to $326 million in the third quarter of 2015.  Results for the quarter reflect contributions from the Stork business, offset by declines in the equipment and power services business lines.   New awards totaled $350 million for the quarter, and ending backlog was $3.3 billion, up from $2.7 billion a year ago.

Third Quarter Conference Call

 

Fluor will host a conference call at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, November  3, which will be webcast live on the Internet and can be accessed by logging onto http://investor.fluor.com.   A supplemental slide presentation will be available shortly before the call begins.   The webcast and presentation will be archived for 30 days following the call.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

This press release contains a discussion of consolidated segment profit that would be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules.  Segment profit is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding: corporate general and administrative expense; interest expense; interest income; domestic and foreign income taxes; other non-operating income and expense items; and loss from discontinued operations. The company believes that consolidated segment profit provides a meaningful perspective on its business results as it is the aggregation of individual segment profit measures that the company utilizes to evaluate and manage its business performance.  A reconciliation of this measure to earnings from continuing operations attributable to Fluor Corporation is included in the press release tables.
