HOUSTON, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR) today announced its third quarter 2022 financial results and raised its FY 2022 financial guidance.

"The people of KBR have once again delivered a strong quarter with excellent earnings and cash flow, outstanding operational and safety performance, and exciting new contract wins," said Stuart Bradie, President and CEO of KBR. "With awards in the quarter spanning the development of NASA's next gen space suits to technology innovation that will increase the world's low-carbon clean ammonia capacity, KBR continues to deliver solutions that matter."

Bradie also attributed positive performance to favorable tailwinds stemming from areas of increasing global importance, including national security, energy security, energy transition, and climate change.

"Our clients are accelerating investment in solutions and technologies to advance their priorities related to these critical challenges, and this acceleration translated directly to the profitable growth, strong margins, and solid cash generation we report today," Bradie said. "We have a fantastic ballast of stable, long-term programs that afford tremendous multi-year visibility as well as exciting high-growth opportunities that favor our sustainable solutions and technologies. As such, we are pleased to announce an increase in our FY 2022 earnings and cash guidance and have growing confidence in our 2025 targets."

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue of $1.6 billion in the quarter declined 12% compared to the same period in 2021 primarily attributable to the completion of work associated with the Operations Allies Welcome (OAW) program in early 2022 that commenced in 3Q'21. Excluding OAW, revenue increased ~$165 million or 11%, 8% organic, attributable to increased activity to support exercises, training and other activities in the European Command, the acquisition of Frazer-Nash in October 2021, and increased revenues in Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) primarily from engineering and professional services and technology licensing.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, net income attributable to KBR increased to $74 million; diluted earnings per share increased to $0.49; adj. EBITDA¹ increased to $171 million; and adj. EBITDA¹ margins expanded to 11%.

Government Solutions (GS) delivered excellent earnings and adj. EBITDA¹ margins of 10% in the quarter. GS earnings continue to benefit from favorable mix, strong project execution, excellent customer performance scores in challenging technical areas that reflect high client satisfaction, and core revenue growth.
STS delivered excellent earnings and adj. EBITDA¹ margins of 20% in the quarter. STS earnings reflect strong end markets, superior technology offerings, highly sought-after engineering solutions and favorable mix. Margins were positively impacted by achievement of licensing milestones in the quarter as well as growing contributions from an LNG project.
Outstanding operating results substantially offset the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar across our international operations, primarily in the UK and Australia.
Interest expense increased in the quarter primarily attributable to higher market interest rates on our variable-rate debt.
Increasing rates were significantly mitigated by the company's interest rate hedging program that achieves a fixed interest rate on a substantial portion of the company's borrowings.

Delivered 1.3x trailing-twelve-months book-to-bill² as of September 30, 2022, including $2.7 billion of awards and options in the quarter, as follows:

Capital Deployment

KBR continues to employ a balanced approach to capital allocation, which includes investments that facilitate sustainable, long-term growth and prudent return of capital to shareholders. In the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the company generated $122 million of operating cash flows.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2022, KBR returned capital to shareholders through the repurchase of $50 million of its common shares, inclusive of share repurchases to satisfy requirements of equity compensation plans, and paid $17 million in shareholder dividends.
The company replenished and increased the ceiling of its share repurchase authorization to $500 million.
In August 2022, the company completed its acquisition of VIMA Group, a leading UK digital transformation company serving defense clients, for an agreed-upon purchase price of $82 million (cash paid at closing of $75 million). VIMA Group supports clients by delivering solutions across a number of large-scale, high-priority digital transformation programs that ensure availability of effective digital and information technology as guided by the UK's Digital Strategy for Defence. VIMA Group is a trusted advisor and a top-five supplier to Defence Digital and Navy Digital – both organizations within the UK Ministry of Defence with a number of highly strategic, fast-growing programs.

Total backlog	$ 15,334	$ 14,973
Award options	4,437	4,732
Total backlog and options	$ 19,771	$ 19,705


(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 our consolidated and 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 over the contract period 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. 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 expected value of our services on each project in backlog.

	We define backlog, as it relates to U.S. government contracts, as our estimate of the remaining future revenue from existing signed contracts over the remaining base contract performance period (including customer approved option periods) for which work scope and price have been agreed with the customer. We define funded backlog as the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized. We define unfunded backlog as the total backlog less the funded backlog. Our Government Solutions backlog does not include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under our government-wide acquisition contracts, agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, or other multiple-award contract vehicles nor does it include option periods that have not been exercised by the customer.

	Within our Government Solutions business segment, we calculate estimated backlog for long-term contracts associated with the UK government's privately financed initiatives (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 backlog. As 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 $3.7 billion at September 30, 2022, and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2021.

	We estimate that as of September 30, 2022, 37% of our backlog will be executed within one year. Of this amount, 76% will be recognized in revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and 24% will be recorded by our unconsolidated joint ventures. As of September 30, 2022, $75 million of our backlog relates to active contracts that are in a loss position.

	As of September 30, 2022, 10% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts, 38% was attributable to PFIs, 27% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts, and 25% was attributable to time-and-materials contracts. For contracts that contain fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time-and-materials components, we classify the individual components as either fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, or time-and-materials 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, 2022, $8.1 billion of our Government Solutions backlog was currently funded by our customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following information provides reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in the press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We evaluate performance based on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to KBR, plus interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; other non-operating income (expense); and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain amounts included in the calculation of net income (loss) attributable to KBR in accordance with GAAP for such periods. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core performance for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core performance for the comparable periods.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC rules because Adjusted EPS excludes certain amounts included in the diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP for such periods. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is diluted EPS for the same periods. Management believes that Adjusted EPS affords investors a view of what management considers KBR's core earnings performance for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and also affords investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance for the comparable periods.

We have calculated Adjusted EPS for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 by adjusting diluted EPS for the items included in the table below.

Adjusted Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flows

Adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted free cash flows are considered non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules. Adjusted operating cash flows exclude certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted free cash flows exclude capital expenditures from adjusted operating cash flows. Deployable free cash flows exclude capital expenditures from adjusted operating cash flows and include certain amounts included in the cash flows provided by investing activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is cash flows provided by operating activities. Management believes that adjusted operating cash flows, adjusted free cash flows and deployable free cash flows afford investors a view of what management considers KBR's core operating cash flow performance and also afford investors the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core operating cash generation performance.
