News Release

Fluor Reports Strong First Quarter Results and Raises Full Year Guidance

Irving, TX, — May 8, 2006 — Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Revenues for the first quarter increased 27 percent to $3.6 billion, up from $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2005. Net earnings increased to $88.9 million, or $1.00 per share, compared with $47.4 million, or $0.56 per share for the same period last year. Operating profits rose 56 percent to $184.4 million, with the majority of the increase coming from the Government and Global Services segments, along with continued strong contributions from Oil & Gas. Operating margins rose to 5.1 percent, up from 4.1 percent a year ago.

     New awards for the first quarter were $3.8 billion, with substantial new bookings in all segments except Power. Consolidated backlog rose to $15.4 billion, compared with $14.9 billion at December 31, 2005.

     “Fluor is off to a great start in 2006,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alan Boeckmann. “Earnings per share exceeded expectations and we continue to see substantial new project opportunities in all business groups. The outlook for Fluor is very positive, with many of our markets in strong upturns driving continued growth in demand for engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services globally. Clients continue to announce significant capital spending plans, and the company is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on these trends in oil & gas, petrochemicals, infrastructure, mining and power.”

     Corporate G&A expense for the quarter was $41.8 million compared with $38.1 million a year ago. Fluor’s cash and securities declined to $654 million from $789 million last quarter,

primarily due to working capital balances associated with work for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Outlook

     The first quarter was very strong, but contributions from the Government group’s contingency response work for FEMA, reconstruction work in Iraq, and the nearly-complete Fernald project are likely to be materially lower in the second half of 2006. Considering the strong first quarter performance and the favorable outlook for Fluor’s other markets in 2006, we are raising our guidance for the year to a range of $2.90 to $3.20 per share, up from previous guidance of $2.80 to $3.10 per share.

Business Segments

     Fluor’s Oil & Gas segment reported revenues of $1.2 billion, level with the first quarter of last year. Operating profit was a strong $56.7 million, compared to $54.3 million a year ago, with operating margins improving to 4.8 percent, from 4.6 percent last year. New awards were very strong across upstream, downstream and petrochemical markets and backlog rose 12 percent over last quarter.

     Fluor’s Industrial & Infrastructure segment reported revenue of $763 million, up 14 percent from $670 million a year ago. Operating profit declined from $20.8 million a year ago to $13.6 million this quarter. Operating margins were 1.8 percent, compared with 3.1 percent a year ago which benefited from substantial progress on a European infrastructure project. The infrastructure unit recently announced two major new awards, the first of which was the construction management of the World Trade Center transportation hub, with Fluor’s 32.5 percent share of the $1 billion project included in the first quarter. The second announcement occurred in April, when the unit received official confirmation of the award of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge project. Fluor’s portion of this award is approximately $700 million, and will be booked into backlog in the second quarter.

     The Government segment reported first quarter revenues of $1.1 billion, up from $561 million a year ago. Operating profit increased to $78.5 million, up from $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 which included $31 million in loss provisions on fixed price embassy contracts.

Operating margins rose to 6.9 percent, from 1.6 percent a year ago. Increased profits and margins were attributable to the absence of charges on embassy projects, to disaster relief work for FEMA, as well as solid contributions from the Fernald project and reconstruction work in Iraq.

     Revenue for the Global Services segment grew 26 percent during the quarter to $459.3 million, from $365.4 million a year ago. Operating profit increased 14 percent to $35.6 million, up from $31.3 million a year ago. Growth in revenues was broad-based, while increases in profits were mainly due to strength in the construction equipment services and temporary staffing units. Operating margins decreased modestly, from 8.6 percent a year ago to 7.8 percent this quarter.

     Fluor’s Power segment reported $77.8 million in revenue, level with revenue of $79.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. For the quarter, the Power segment reported break-even results, compared with profits of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2005. A key Power client recently named Fluor as one of two exclusive partners for the engineering, procurement and construction of a major program for new coal-fired power generation facilities.
