KBR ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

    Backlog at $14.4 billion with book-to-bill of 1.1x for fourth quarter of 2013

 

    Total cash provided by operations of $209 million in the fourth quarter of 2013

 

    Cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2013

 

    Board of Directors authorizes new $350 million share buyback program

HOUSTON, Texas – KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today its fourth quarter and annual 2013 financial results.

Fourth Quarter Results

Net income attributable to KBR was $27 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to KBR of $30 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.7 billion compared with $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $84 million compared to gross profit of $60 million in the prior year fourth quarter.

“The fourth quarter was highlighted by a strong 1.1x book-to-bill ratio and cash flow from operations of $209 million. We’re also pleased our Board of Directors has authorized a new $350 million share repurchase program,” said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. “However, earnings for the quarter were significantly less than anticipated. Looking forward, opportunities across all of our business segments remain strong and we believe that we are well positioned to win and execute a significant portion of this work. We continue to pursue several mega LNG prospects but do not expect final investment decisions from our customers until 2015.”

The following pre-tax items are included in the 2013 fourth quarter financial results:


    A $17 million, non-cash charge associated with the accounting for foreign currencies occurring over the life of a project and a $20 million charge for increased costs from delays in project commissioning, project taxes, and other costs for a project which achieved provisional acceptance in January 2014

 

    Severance and associated workforce adjustment-related costs of approximately $13 million

 

    Legal settlements of approximately $13 million, inclusive of a $6.6 million expected settlement with the African Development Bank

 

    Approximately $16 million non-cash impact related to a change in the percentage of completion on a LNG project. This current period impact is expected to be recognized in future earnings as the project progresses

 

    A higher tax rate than forecast

Additionally, during the quarter, the anticipated closeout on two LNG projects did not occur which could have resulted in an approximate $0.36 per share improvement in the quarterly earnings. We have subsequently received provisional acceptance on one of the LNG projects and are working on the close out of this project. We remain optimistic we will achieve a favorable settlement, but have reduced our estimate of the potential EPS benefit to a range of between zero and $0.27 per share.

Business Discussion (All comparisons are fourth quarter 2013 versus fourth quarter 2012, unless otherwise noted.)

Gas Monetization Results

Gas Monetization revenue was $432 million, down $176 million, primarily due to reduced activity on two projects nearing completion in Africa. Gross profit was $21 million, down $85 million, primarily due to the $17 million charge relating to accounting for foreign currencies and the $20 million charge for increased costs as noted above, in addition to favorable changes in project estimates recognized in Q4 2012 on an LNG project in Australia that did not reoccur in Q4 2013.

Gas Monetization equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax, was $9 million, flat with the prior year.

Hydrocarbons Results

Hydrocarbons revenue was $432 million, up $107 million. Hydrocarbons gross profit was $44 million, down $13 million. Fourth quarter 2012 included a $14 million gain related to a project settlement that did not reoccur in 2013. Revenue growth is the result of increased downstream activity on ammonia, urea and ethylene projects in North America, an ethylene project in Uzbekistan, and an oil and gas project in Azerbaijan.

Infrastructure, Government and Power (IGP) Results

IGP revenue was $387 million, down $60 million. Gross profit was $20 million, up $53 million. The increase in gross profit was driven by $58 million in project charges associated with two minerals projects in the fourth quarter of 2012 which did not reoccur in 2013. While activity in the infrastructure and minerals markets remains challenging, opportunities for international government, power generation and air quality control projects in the U.S. remain encouraging.

IGP equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax, was $13 million, down $2 million. The decline was primarily related to reduced activity on a project for the U.K. Ministry of Defence that is nearing completion.

Services Results

Services revenue was $460 million, up $27 million. Gross profit was $10 million, up $62 million, primarily due to $62 million in Q4 2012 charges related to cost increases to complete three construction projects in the United States in addition to increased activity on several module fabrication contracts in Canada.

Services equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of tax, was $3 million, down $5 million, primarily due to lower vessel utilization at our Mexican joint venture.

Corporate

Corporate general and administrative expense was $68 million, up $9 million, primarily due to higher ERP implementation expenses, severance costs and costs related to additional reserves established by our captive insurance company.

Labor Cost Absorption

Fourth quarter of 2013 labor cost absorption (LCA) expense was $15 million, a $7 million improvement from the prior year’s fourth quarter. The main drivers for the under absorption of costs continue to be reduced work volumes at our London and Australian offices plus associated severance costs.

Tax

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2013 was approximately 33 percent, primarily driven by a valuation allowance taken against certain U.S. state tax loss carry-forwards during the quarter.

Full Year 2013 Results

Net income attributable to KBR was $229 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2013, compared with net income attributable to KBR of $144 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2012.

Department of Justice Lawsuit

In January, 2014, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint against us and two former KBR subcontractors alleging that three former employees were offered and accepted kickbacks from these subcontractors in exchange for favorable treatment in the award of subcontracts during the course of KBR’s performance on the LogCAP III contract in Iraq. The complaint alleges that as a result of the kickbacks, we submitted false invoices resulting in alleged violations of the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act. We are disappointed the DOJ decided to file this case against us as the matter relates to actions by former employees and the investigation by the DOJ dates back to 2004. We had previously self-reported all violations known to us and timely tendered credits to the U.S. Government as appropriate.

2014 Guidance

KBR expects 2014 fully diluted EPS to be in the range between $1.75 and $2.10. This guidance estimate does not assume any benefit from the potential favorable close out of the LNG project previously noted.

Additionally, the company provides the following details regarding its 2014 guidance:

 

    ERP expense of between $55 million and $65 million

 

    Capital expenditures of between $65 million and $80 million, including between $25 million and $35 million related to ERP

Capital Allocation

We expect to continue generating operating cash flow in the future. Our Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the following capital allocation objectives:

 

    Pursue a limited number of targeted acquisitions to enhance our technology portfolio

 

    Return capital to our shareholders by continuing to pay a dividend

 

    Return capital to our shareholders via repurchases of our common stock

KBR has a strong record of returning capital to KBR shareholders, distributing approximately $828 million in the form of dividends and share repurchases since January 2007. Consistent with our history, the KBR Board of Directors authorized a new $350 million share buyback program on February 25, 2014. This new authorization to repurchase shares replaces and terminates a buyback program previously announced in 2011.

(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 percent 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, $5.2 billion and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our backlog related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interest totaled $1.4 billion, $1.5 billion and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, 43 percent of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts and 57 percent 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 December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

 

(b) Backlog attributable to unfunded government orders was $0.2 billion, $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.
