REVENUE RECOGNITION

NOTE 2—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Unapproved Change Orders

As of June 30, 2015, total unapproved change orders included in our estimates at completion aggregated $158.7 million, of which approximately $37.6 million was included in backlog. As of June 30, 2014, total unapproved change orders included in our estimates at completion aggregated $297 million, of which approximately $44 million was included in backlog.

Claims Revenue

The amount of revenues and costs included in our estimates at completion (i.e., contract values) associated with claims, all of which related to our MEA segment, was $6.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. In the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no material claims were included in revenues or costs. None of the pending claims reflected in our estimates at completion as of June 30, 2015 were the subject of any litigation proceedings.

Deferred Profit Recognition

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not account for any projects under our deferred profit recognition policy.

Completed Contract Method

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not account for any contracts under the completed contract method.

Loss Recognition

As of June 30, 2015, we have provided for our estimated costs to complete on all of our ongoing contracts. However, it is possible that current estimates could change due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in material adjustments to operating results for any fiscal quarter or year. For all contracts, if a current estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss, the projected loss is recognized in full when determined.

Of the June 30, 2015 backlog, approximately $364.8 million primarily related to three active projects that were in loss positions, as a result of which future revenues are expected to equal costs when recognized. Included in this amount was $117.4 million of backlog associated with an EPCI project, PB Litoral, in Mexico, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015, and $76.5 million of backlog pertaining to the five-year Agile vessel charter in Brazil, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017, both of which are managed by our AEA segment. The June 30, 2015 backlog amount also included $170.7 million relating to an EPCI project, KJO Hout, in our MEA segment, which is also in a loss position and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017.  It is possible that our estimates of gross profit could increase or decrease based on changes in productivity, actual downtime and the resolution of change orders and claims with the customers.
